The Argentina Superintendency of Insurance (SSN) Superintendent Guillermo Plate spoke at the 21st National Insurance Forum in Buenos Aires on 8 April, setting out the regulator’s agenda to pursue more efficient regulation while maintaining enforcement powers, and to modernise supervision through greater use of data and analytical tools. He also used the event to position the revocation of Galeno ART as a supervisory action required by law rather than a short-term decision. Plate argued that insurance, while representing around 3% of GDP, underpins the rest of the economy, and said the SSN is moving from publishing standard tables toward more integrated analysis to support better decisions with policyholders at the centre. On Galeno ART, he stressed that poor administration has consequences, that solvency is a constitutive condition of insurance, and that the Reserve Fund guarantees benefits but does not replace the insurer. He also highlighted insurance producer advisers (PAS) as a core pillar of the ecosystem and an early source of market intelligence when problems emerge for insureds.
