The National Bank of the Republic of Tajikistan ran a training session on 6–7 August for chief accountants and responsible staff of insurance organisations on the standards for calculating contributions to insurance reserve funds and managing those reserves within Tajikistan’s insurance system. The programme included an explanation of the sector’s regulatory legal framework, including the “Procedure and norms for calculating allocations to insurance reserve funds”, which was developed and adopted with reference to international practice. The session presented international approaches to the formation and management of insurance reserves and highlighted reserves as a key element of insurers’ financial stability and their ability to meet obligations to insured persons, alongside authorised capital. The training was delivered under technical assistance from the United States Department of the Treasury, with international experts Karina Toselli and Josh Ling involved in covering reserve formation and related accounting treatment.
