The lens through which North American insurance regulators see the sector is constantly adapting to stay focused on the dynamic shifts taking place on the risk horizon, in diverse areas like data privacy, AI, cyber, and climate change.

Insurance regulatory bodies face mounting challenges to keep pace and maintain robust, reliable reviews of carriers that take into account the shifting landscape around them. 

In the US, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) has outlined its 2024 strategic priorities, which underscore the critical need for coordination and innovation in addressing these challenges. 

NAIC’s strategic priorities for 2024 encompass a wide array of issues crucial to the insurance sector’s stability and resilience. From tackling climate risks and enhancing insurer financial oversight to addressing deceptive insurance marketing and promoting financial inclusion, these priorities reflect a proactive stance in safeguarding consumer interests and fostering industry integrity.

Meanwhile, in Canada the P&C sector is grappling with similar risk horizons and regulatory shifts, as well as internal policy issues such as adherence to Quebec’s French language law, Bill 96, which mandates that all policy contracts conducted with clients in the province must be in French initially. 

Working with Insurance Regulators

As state-based insurance regulation continues to evolve, collaboration between regulators and industry experts becomes paramount.
