NCIGF Submits Comments on Restructuring Mechanisms for Troubled Companies to NAIC Subgroup
On March 24 NCIGF President and CEO Roger Schmelzer submitted recommendations to Michael Vild, chairman of the Restructuring Mechanisms for Troubled Companies (E) Subgroup of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Schmelzer’s comments, which were sent via letter, commented on topics related to restructuring mechanisms for troubled insurance companies that will be addressed by the subgroup in a proposed white paper later in the year.
“The NCIGF’s comments are based on the proposition that the primary public policy purpose of any insolvency scheme, whether it takes the form of liquidation or some other mechanism, should remain protection of the public from excessive financial loss due to the insolvency of insurance companies,” Schmelzer wrote.
