From 3–4 September, at the official invitation of the Insurance Supervision Agency of Slovenia, David Onoprishvili, Head of the Insurance State Supervision Service of Georgia, is visiting Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, where he participated in the “INSURED 360° – International Insurance Conference.”
The main topics of the conference were consumer-centric approaches and consumer protection, ensuring financial security in the context of increasing life expectancy, risks caused by climate change and natural disasters, as well as the impact of artificial intelligence on the insurance sector. Representatives of insurance supervisory authorities from various countries, international experts, and stakeholders in the insurance sector participated in the conference.
Particular attention within the framework of the conference was paid to strengthening consumer trust, which, on the one hand, effectively protects the interests of policyholders, while, on the other hand, contributes to the accessibility of insurance products and the development of the sector.
Following the conference, David Onoprishvili’s visit continued with bilateral and regional working meetings.
As part of the visit, a regional working meeting was held with representatives of supervisory authorities from the Central, Eastern Europe and Transcaucasia region, chaired by Gorazd Čibej, Managing Director of the Insurance Supervision Agency and Regional Coordinator of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors for the Central, Eastern Europe and Transcaucasia region. The meeting addressed the initiatives of the Association’s Executive Committee, the priority areas of the region and coordination issues within the region.
As part of the series of meetings, David Onoprishvili held bilateral meetings with Koppány Nagy, Director of Insurance, Pension Funds, Financial Enterprises and Intermediaries Supervision Directorate at the National Bank of Hungary and Branko Barjaktarović, Director of the Insurance Supervision Agency of Montenegro.
Important meetings were also held with Siham Ramly - Vice-Chair of the Executive Committee of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors, the Director of Communications and International Relations of Morocco (ACAPS), Dana Manning-Gray - Insurance Commissioner of the Bahamas Insurance Supervision Service and Ricardo Lara - California Insurance Commissioner, California Department of Insurance. During the meetings, the parties exchanged views on current issues in insurance supervision and discussed possible areas for future coordination and joint activities.
