Second Conference on Insurance Regulation and Supervision in Latin America

Lima, Peru, 5-8 November 2001

The Second Conference on Insurance Regulation and Supervision in Latin America was held in Lima, Peru, on 5-8 November 2001, co-organised by the OECD, the IAIS and the Latin American Association of Insurance Superintendents (ASSAL). The conference was held in the framework of the activities of the OECD Insurance Committee under the Centre for Co-operation with Non-Members programme, sponsored by the Government of Japan. This conference was the second OECD meeting held on insurance issues in Latin America, following up the success of the first meeting held in Oxaca, Mexico, last year. This conference also reflected the necessity of OECD policy dialogue with Latin American countries in this field of work. The conference was held back to back with the ASSAL XII Annual Meeting held on 4-8 September, both of which were hosted by the Superintendency of Banking and Insurance of Peru (SBS) of Peru.
