The Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) is being developed as a consolidated group-wide capital standard for IAIGs. It is being developed by International Association of Insurance Supervisors (“IAIS”) and plans to deliver a risk-based capital standard, ICS, which will apply to all IAIGs including Global Systemically Important Insurers (G-SIIs) at a group consolidated level only.
It consists of three components: valuation, qualifying capital resources, and a standard method for the ICS capital requirement. The purpose of the ICS is to create a common language for supervisory discussions of group solvency to enhance global convergence among group capital standards. Following the end of the monitoring period, the ICS will be implemented as a group-wide prescribed capital requirement which is expected to be shortly after the end of the monitoring period in 2024.
As of 10 February 2022, fifty (50) IAIGs have been identified by relevant GWS’s from 18 jurisdictions to be required to comply with ICS.
