ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ Leadership Hold Annual Bilateral Meeting with BMA in Hamilton, Bermuda
Last month, the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ (ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ) and the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) held their annual bilateral meeting in Hamilton, Bermuda, to discuss strategic priorities on issues of mutual regulatory interest. The ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ and the BMA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2015 and have since endeavored to meet at least annually to discuss strategic priorities on such issues.
Participants from ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ leadership included President-Elect and Virginia Insurance Commissioner Scott A. White, Vice President and Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation Director Elizabeth Kelleher Dwyer, and International Insurance Relations (G) Committee Chair and Nebraska Department of Insurance Director Eric Dunning. Each side provided insights into their respective jurisdictions and discussed several regulatory topics, including developments at the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), the implementation of the Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) via the U.S. Aggregation Method (AM), and the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI).
