1. IAIS Global Seminar ComFrame: Update on Qualitative and Quantitative Standards Elise Liebers, Acting Chair of the Financial Stability and Technical Committee (FSTC) Old Windsor, 29 June 2017

2. Objectives of ComFrame
To establish standards focusing on the effective group-wide supervision of IAIGs, consisting of both qualitative and quantitative elements.
To be a framework for supervisors to coordinate supervisory activities efficiently and effectively and share information about IAIGs at the group-wide level and between group-wide and host supervisors.
To provide a basis for comparing IAIG regulation and supervision across jurisdictions as well as to reduce unnecessary compliance and reporting demands on IAIGs.
