20-21 JANUARY 2000, BEIJING
The Expert Meeting on Insurance Regulation and Supervision in China -- the first OECD meeting on financial matters with Chinese officials -- was held in Beijing on 20-21 January 2000, co-sponsored by the governments of Japan and the United States.
Participation was well above our optimistic expectations (85 people in all). On the Chinese side, 26 officials from the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) -- of which 17 at director level and above -- attended throughout the meeting; the CIRC chairman (Mr. Ma) hosted a lunch at which he delivered a statement full of praise for the OECD and its work on insurance; and the vice-chairman (Mr. Feng) made an introductory speech and participated actively in the concluding session. In addition, representatives from 12 Chinese insurance companies were permitted to follow the proceedings of the meeting. Participation from OECD countries was also at high level (and particularly active) - with a large presence from Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
