Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2023 for the implementation of the Risk-based Capital regime
The Hong Kong government introduced the Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2023 (‘Bill’) to enhance Hong Kong's insurance regulatory regime in alignment with international standards. The Risk-Based Capital (‘RBC’) framework will introduce a more risk-sensitive assessment of capital adequacy for each insurance company compared to the current regime. The introduction of RBC will further strengthen the financial position and resilience of the industry.
Watch our videos to find out how Bill sets out changes to the Insurance Ordinance (Cap. 41) to allow enactment of RBC. We also discussed the consequential amendments to the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112) necessitated by the introduction of RBC.
