It focuses on questions related to regulation, supervision and international co-operation of insurance and financial services as well as other legal issues of importance. The research programme manages The Geneva Association’s co-operation with the supervisory authorities around the world and in particular with the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS).
