Why are regular returns required?
The Central Bank mandates these returns in order to:
- Secure regular reporting on the financial condition and performance of all insurance companies
- Ensure consistent and standardized information among reporting institutions; and
- Aggregate data for the purpose of assessing the performance of insurance industry as a whole.
Returns should also be e-mailed to insurance_reports@central-bank.org.tt .
