Abstract
This assessment is focused on the
Superintendencia de Seguros de la Nacion (SSN) in Argentina.
SSN has responsibility for regulation and supervision of all
players in the insurance market. In addition to its role as
a supervisor, SSN has powers to issue regulations, is
responsible for advising the executive on issues related to
insurance, and can propose draft bills. The laws are passed
by the national legislative branch and enacted by the
national executive branch. The assessment was performed
using the 2007 version of the core principles for insurance
supervision issued by the International Association of
Insurance Supervisors (IAIS). This paper is structured into
following four parts: part one is information and
methodology used for the assessment; part two is
institutional and macro prudential setting, part three gives
summary assessment; and part four gives authorities' responses.
