The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission has issued supervisory guidance on concentration risk for insurance groups, setting out standards intended to strengthen group-wide concentration risk governance, measurement and controls. The guidance is organised into five chapters with 28 articles, covering general provisions, the concentration risk management framework, policies and procedures, management information systems, and reporting and disclosure. It clarifies core principles and standardises management processes, promotes the use of multi-dimensional indicators and limit systems, and strengthens disclosure and reporting arrangements, drawing on international supervisory practices and aiming to support prudent operations and prevent systemic risk. The regulator said it will focus next on driving effective implementation of the guidance.
