Insurance / Reinsurance regulations

Insurance is a highly regulated business, governed by the French Insurance Code, which transposes the terms of the Solvency II directive.

The arrangements in place

The insurance business is also regulated by numerous national and international provisions aimed at combating behavior that contravenes international public policy. Insurance companies and their directors are under strict obligation to justify the conditions under which these various rules are respected by all their partners and customers.

Insurance companies

From their creation to their liquidation, insurance companies are required to develop, reorganize and expand, while respecting the prudential rules that govern their activities. This means forging partnerships, acquiring holdings and developing captive insurance programs with policyholders. They are also called upon to communicate regularly with their national supervisory authorities and with the international institutions responsible for monitoring policies to combat illegal practices.
