[2] The IAIS' mission is to promote effective and globally consistent supervision of the insurance industry in order to develop and maintain fair, safe and stable insurance markets for the benefit and protection of policyholders and to contribute to the maintenance of global financial stability.
The IAIS also works closely with other standard-setting bodies not hosted by the BIS, such as the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
Projects and activities contained within the roadmap can be broadly divided into three categories: The IAIS coordinates its work with other standard-setting bodies, international financial policymakers and associations of supervisors or regulators.
It also holds an in-person Annual Conference which is open to supervisors and stakeholders to discuss topical issues and progress on IAIS activities.
The IAIS financial stability activities are supported by an annual publication of the Global Insurance Market Report (GIMAR).
