Appointments to industry advisory committees to advise Insurance Authority
**************************************************************************
The two IACs focus on long-term business and general business respectively. The Financial Secretary has re-appointed or appointed 11 non-official members to each of the IACs for a term of two years from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2024.
The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, said, "Members of the two IACs have expertise in different areas of the insurance industry such as actuary and fintech/insurtech, or related professions such as banking, legal, medical and academia. Their wealth of experience and diverse backgrounds will provide the IA with valuable advice on various matters pertaining to the development of the insurance industry."
Mr Hui added, "I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the 11 outgoing members for their contribution to the IACs during their term."
The IACs are statutory committees established under the Insurance Ordinance (Cap. 41) on June 1, 2016. The Ordinance stipulates that other than the chairperson, the chief executive officer and not more than two other executive directors of the IA, members of an IAC should include not less than eight but not more than 12 other persons with knowledge of or experience in the insurance industry, the conduct of regulated activities and consumer affairs.
