In closing, let me re-affirm that we at the Central Bank are looking forward to the challenge that the transfer of supervisory responsibility will surely bring. We are committed to working with the insurance industry in an atmosphere of understanding and mutual respect, to have integrated supervision implemented in an effective manner that benefits the industry and the economy as a whole.
Our mission is the same as yours: we want an industry that adequately satisfies the expectations of policy holders: that instills confidence and respect: that contributes to the strengthening of savings and investment, in the interest of long term economic viability.
