At the 11th Regional Insurance Congress 2026 in Paraná, Superintendent Guillermo Plate of the Argentina Superintendency of Insurance set out the authority’s supervisory direction in a closing speech on change and deregulation. He said the superintendency will continue moving toward international standards, with higher requirements for insurers and a gradual transition to risk and solvency based supervision, following a path similar to Chile and Mexico. He also framed the agency’s agenda around organizing the market, deregulating and using technology to strengthen oversight. Plate said improving economic conditions are starting to feed through to the insurance market, allowing companies to refocus on technical management and business development, and argued that premiums should balance sustainability with competitiveness. He highlighted growth potential in life, retirement, health and agricultural risk cover, described insurance brokers as an important source of early market intelligence, and pointed to ongoing cooperation with the International Association of Insurance Supervisors and the Association of Latin American Insurance Supervisors as part of efforts to modernize supervision in the region.
