The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has adopted its 2026 strategic priorities, setting a work programme for state insurance regulators focused on strengthening oversight in a changing insurance and risk environment. The priorities include finalizing, adopting, and guiding implementation of a new investment and capital regime intended to enhance regulatory oversight and be harmonized across states. The NAIC also plans to deepen its role as a data aggregator and analytics provider to support early warning monitoring, risk identification, peer review, and policy insight. Additional focus areas cover resilience-related regulatory work, including guidance on catastrophe modeling, exposures, stress testing, and climate disclosures alongside coordination with federal and state officials, and technology oversight through frameworks for cybersecurity and insurers’ use of data, a pilot artificial intelligence evaluation tool, and expanded education and training capacity.
