AMF Publishes Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline for Insurers

The risk-based capital adequacy framework is based on an assessment of insurance, market, credit, and operational risks, through the application of various risk factors and margins. The guideline on capital adequacy requirements outlines the capital framework, using a risk-based formula for target capital requirements and minimum capital requirements, in addition to defining the capital that is available to meet the minimum standard. The Minimum Capital Test, or MCT, determines the minimum capital required and not the optimum capital required at which a self-regulatory organization or reciprocal union must operate.
