20 Risk oriented solvency system More comprehensive risk coverage Three pillar regulatory framework: More complete coverage of risks Risk identification, risk measurement and defense system More scientific risk measure Capitalized risk: practical, accurate models were implemented Uncapitalized risk: Integrated Risk Rating More sensitive risk response Accurate measure associated risks due to changes in: Operational behavior, business structure, investment strategy, etc More capital requirement for irrational competition, high risk investment Strengthen risk management Risk management capability tied to capital requirement In depth risk management indicators 20

21 Reflect China s insurance characteristics Rapid growth, Fast changing Gross premium growth rates in 2016: China: 27.5%; Global: 3.1% Frequent changes: economic environment, associated market, business model, legal system, capital markets, consumer behavior etc. Immature associated markets Emerging markets deviate further from complete, perfect, efficient market hypothesis Risk management tools used in mature markets sometimes are inefficient and ineffective in emerging markets 21

22 Reflect China s insurance characteristics Low awareness of risk management With high growth potential, companies normally tend to focus more on the growth of market shares Fewer lessons learnt from crisis and losses Incomprehensive legal system and poor corporate governance lead to relatively high moral hazard Lack of expertise & financial resources Lack of experience for insurance professionals Small/medium, recently established insurers. Capital Shortage Unique risks & different risk characteristics Face greater uncertainty comparing with mature market Immature financial market brings more volatility Financial systems in emerging markets are more vulnerable 22

23 Reflect China s insurance characteristics Pillar I reflect China s unique risk characteristics, capitalized risk measurements adopted scientific, practical methods. Unique Business risks consistent & different valuation risk approach characteristics Net risk model Composite factor (K - factor) method 750 days moving average gov t bond yield curve used in liabilities discounting Factor based time value of options and guarantees (TVOG) valuation Attach more importance to Pillar II effect More attention paid to uncapitalized risk e.g. strategic and reputation risk Regulator guides companies to improve risk management capability Integrated risk rating (IRR) Solvency Aligned Risk Management Requirement and Assessment (SARMRA) Liquidity risk: integrated current ratio, liquidity coverage ratio 23

24 IRR Pillar I Capitalized Risks Insurance Risk Market Risk Credit Risk Pro-Cyclical Risk Systemically Important Risk Integrated Risk Rating (IRR) A B C D Pillar II Uncapitalized Risks Operational Risk Strategic Risk Reputation Risk Liquidity Risk Regulator assesses the overall risk of the insurance company quarterly 24

25 IRR Categorize insurance companies according to their risk level and take interventions for companies with C and D rating according to their risk exposure. Rating Capitalized risk Uncapitalized risk A B C D Solvency ratio meets regulatory requirements Solvency ratio meets regulatory requirements Solvency ratio meets or doesn t meet regulatory requirements Solvency ratio meets or doesn t meet regulatory requirements Minor operational risk, strategic risk, reputation risk and liquidity risk Relatively minor operational risk, strategic risk, reputation risk and liquidity risk Relatively severe operational risk, strategic risk, reputation risk or liquidity risk Severe operational risk, strategic risk, reputation risk or liquidity risk 25

26 Rating Method of IRR Weighted average method Depending on the absolute level and variance of the solvency ratio capitalized risks 50% Core solvency ratio Comprehensive solvency ratio IRR Operational risk 50% uncapitalized risks 50% Strategic risk 15% Reputation risk 10% Liquidity risk 25% Influenced by risk factors such as external environment, the distribution characteristics, expected loss and historical data etc. 26

27 Solvency Aligned Risk Management Requirement and Assessment (SARMRA) Risk Management Requirement and Regulatory Assessment Risk Management Requirements Risk Management Assessment Regulator publishes requirements on risk management Regulator evaluates the risk management abilities of the insurers 27

28 SARMRA Framework and environment (20%) Purpose and tools (10%) Insurance risk management (10%) Market risk management (10%) System comprehen siveness 60% Scoring S Fully compliant - get 100% of standard score. Largely compliant - get 80% of standard score. MC control =Q Mc capitalized Q= S+0.4; S>= 80, MC control <=0 SARMRA (100%) Credit risk management (10%) Operational risk management (10%) Strategic risk management (10%) Reputation risk management(10%) Liquidity risk management (10%) From 2 aspects 4 grades System effectiveness 40% Partially compliant - get 50% of standard score. Not compliant - get zero The final score of SARMRA is the weighed average of the 9 parts scores. S< 80, MC control >0 A comprehensive and effective risk management system is critical for insurers in order to decrease the capital requirement. The assessment results of SARMRA will directly affect the capital requirement of control risk The comprehensiveness and effectiveness of risk management will directly affect the capital requirement. 28

29 International comparable Design ideas Risk oriented solvency system Insurance group supervision: corresponding three pillar provisions for insurance groups, with specific regulatory standards Counter-cyclical (K-factor) : minimum capital requirement for stocks, investment property etc. Framework Three-Layer framework transformed to three pillar framework: comparable with international mainstream practices Standards & methods Capital measurement methods & models for capitalized risks Capital tiering Information disclosure Regulatory means XBRL (extensible Business Reporting Language) used to C-ROSS IT system Off-site analysis & on-site assessment 29

30 Agenda Construction of C-ROSS Motivations Processes Principles Overall framework of C-ROSS Structure Features Mechanisms C-ROSS Phase II 30

31 Combination of quantitative and qualitative regulation C-SI C-ROSS Focus on quantitative supervision, lack of qualitative supervision Solvency ratio is only standard Risk management capabilities were not taken into account. Focus on both quantitative and qualitative aspects Integrated Risk Rating (IRR) was invented to assess uncapitalized risks (operation risk, strategy risk, reputation risk, liquidity risk) IRR combines quantitative and qualitative assessment result, performing comprehensive evaluation towards company s risk exposure SARMRA is used to evaluate company s risk management capabilities, i.e control risk, and tied to capital requirement 31

32 Linkage between CIRC and CIRC local bureaus C-SI C-ROSS CIRC local bureaus: Unclear responsibility Less participations Not fully developed joint supervision with CIRC CIRC local bureaus: Integrated Risk Rating (Quarterly) Participate risk rating for insurance companies Evaluate operation risks in sales, underwriting, finance management of insurance companies branches SARMRA (Annually) Conduct on-site assessment 32

33 External supervision and market discipline C-SI C-ROSS Annual disclosure, limited information Lack of transparency, less market discipline Information Disclosure Company Quarterly disclosure, more comprehensive Daily disclosure Regulator Regular disclose solvency information Market mechanism Encourage insurance companies to do credit rating; regulate rating agencies behavior exchange information with stakeholders, analysts, agencies, etc. 33

34 Capital constraint and capital supplement C-ROSS Build capital supplement framework, enriching the diversity of capital supplement methods with enlarged financing alternatives for insurance companies Available capital includes: core tier 1, core tier 2, supplementary tier 1, supplementary tier 2 Capital tools include: subordinated debts, capital supplement bonds and subordinated convertible bonds, etc. Strict and sound capital requirement, relaxed and flexible capital supplement 34

35 Three Biggest Shifts C-SI From volumeorientation to riskorientation From single approach to integrated approach Increase the risk-sensitivity and risk-coverage of regulatory approaches Create incentives of more sophisticated risk-taking and risk management Change the industry focus from scale to risk & value Utilize uniform framework of financial reporting valuation, value measurement and capital management, to minimize the inconsistency of decision-making indicators Balance sheet, capital allocation, risk management and performance measurement within one basket C-ROSS From country focus to market focus China is the largest emerging insurance market Emerging markets shared many common key features As compatible system, C-ROSS could provide useful experiences to other emerging markets 35

36 Agenda Construction of C-ROSS Motivations Processes Principles Overall framework of C-ROSS Structure Features Mechanisms C-ROSS Phase II 36

37 Issues C-ROSS are facing Current rules need to be updated to cope with changing environment Regulatory cooperation should be further strengthened Voids in the system need to be filled, with conditions getting mature Problems exposed during implementation need to be solved 37

38 C-ROSS Phase II: Overall Target Adhere to Risk oriented Improve scientificness and effectiveness of C-ROSS Expand risk coverage Improve risk measurement Further enhance sensitivity to risk. Adhere to Problem-oriented Improve risk resistance capacity Strengthen capital constraints. Intensify policy conduction. Adhere to Openness-oriented Provide solvency regulation experience to emerging markets. Strengthen financial regulation cooperation and prevent cross-financial risks. 38

39 C-ROSS Phase II: Three Areas Three Areas Improve regulatory rules Reinforce the implementation mechanism Strengthen regulatory cooperation 39

40 C-ROSS Phase II: Preliminary considerations Improve regulatory rules Comprehensive rules Amend the <Provisions on Insurance Company Solvency Regulation> Develop detailed rules for insurance group regulation Establish supervision rules for emerging insurance entities such as captives and mutual. 40

41 C-ROSS Phase II: Preliminary considerations Improve regulatory rules Pillar I Revise and perfect the standard of life insurance reserve assessment Thorough review and calibration towards capital requirements of market risk and credit risk Thorough review and calibration towards risk factors and correlation coefficient of insurance risk Improve solvency stress test rules Research on reinsurance related regulation 41

42 C-ROSS Phase II: Preliminary considerations Improve regulatory rules Pillar II Improve liquidity risk monitoring system Improve Integrated Risk Rating (IRR) system Optimize Solvency Aligned Risk Management Requirements and Assessment (SARMRA) system Pillar III Revise and perfect the rules on Pillar III, Further develop the role of market constraints 42

43 C-ROSS Phase II: Preliminary considerations Reinforce implementation mechanism Establish solvency risk analysis and monitoring system, form a mechanism for regulators, insurance institutes, academia and related units to participate jointly in supervision and decision support Establish a regular data quality and authenticity inspection mechanism Strengthen the supervision and assessment of accounting firms, actuarial advisory institutions, credit rating agencies and other intermediaries involved in the insurance business Improve C-ROSS information system 43

44 C-ROSS Phase II: Preliminary considerations Strengthen regulatory cooperation Strengthen domestic supervision cooperation with PBOC, CBRC, CSRC and relevant departments ; prevent and control cross-financial risks Strengthen communication and cooperation with foreign regulators; explore equivalence assessment mechanism with supervisory regimes in foreign markets Adhere to the basic ideas and principles of C-ROSS, actively participate in international rule making process, and promote the construction of a fair and rational system. 44

45 C-ROSS Phase II: Working Mechanism Unified leadership Lead by CIRC Party Committee Organize by CIRC Finance & Accounting /Solvency Regulation Dept Solvency regulation committee member units and related Depts. to participate Wide Participation Phase II will be project-based. Task will be divided into projects and commissioned to C-ROSS Advisory Committee members, insurance institutes, intermediary institutes or universities. Assignees, industry experts, CIRC and relevant depts. will jointly work as project team. 45

46 C-ROSS Phase II: Working Mechanism Professional Consultation Fully leverage C-ROSS Advisory Committee expertise, who is responsible for providing consultation and demonstration to the overall planning, framework, technical standards and implementation plan and reviewing the research results of the project team. This will ensure the system is scientific and effective. Openness Transparency Made public of the tasks, progress, test results, implementation of C-ROSS phase II to the industry, relevant ministries, consumers, media and etc. Absorb opinions from all sides and promote attention, understanding and support for C-ROSS 46

47 C-ROSS Phase II: Schedule The construction and implementation will go hand in hand. Projects will be published and implemented once ready. The whole process of phase II is expected to be 2 years. 47
