Public Consultation on Risk-based Global Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) Version 2.0

The purpose of this consultation document (CD) is to solicit feedback from stakeholders on the ICS ahead of the completion of ICS Version 2.0, scheduled for late-2019, before the monitoring period begins on 1 January 2020. This CD covers both issues related to the ICS Version 2.0 monitoring period and the technical aspects of the design and calibration of ICS Version 2.0.

This CD is the third IAIS consultation in a multi-year process to develop the ICS. The IAIS issued its first and second ICS consultation documents in December 2014 and July 2016, respectively. In addition, the IAIS has conducted three quantitative Field Testing exercises in the development of the ICS - in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Currently, the IAIS is conducting its fourth quantitative ICS Field Testing exercise, with data to be submitted in August 2018.

At the same time as this consultation on ICS Version 2.0, the IAIS is also consulting on the Common Framework for the Supervision of IAIGs (ComFrame). While ICS is part of the ComFrame, it was agreed by the Executive Committee of the IAIS in June 2017 that ICS Version 2.0 would be adopted as a stand-alone document in 2019. As such, there are two separate consultation documents.

Feedback is invited by 30 October 2018 24:00 CET (Basel time). A public background session will be held via teleconference on 29 August 2018 to discuss the material published for consultation
