                    [Summary] => 



The Insurance Commission (IC) wants insurance firms to have a minimum net worth of P100 million by yearend, increasing by another P100 million annually until it hits P500 million.


Presently,  insurance companies  have a minimum paid-up capital requiremment of P50 million.


Likewise, the risk-based capital (RBC) formula for all insurers will  be adopted which should be completed within two to three years, the IC added.


But for new insurers, the commission will require a capital base of P1 billion.

                    [Summary] => 



The country’s insurance industry is eyeing to work out a formula that would combine a possible revision on the proposed hike in paid-up capital and the internationally-accepted risk-based asset management.


"What could be a better proposition is a combination of the two proposals," Jose L. Cuisia Jr., president of the Philippine Life Insurance Association (PLIA) said yesterday.


Cuisia proposed that  the Insurance Commission (IC), the Department of Finance (DOF), and PLIA should develop an acceptable formula for both the regulators and the industry.
