The U.S. state-based system of insurance regulation serves as the gold standard for coordination and collaboration both here at home and abroad. That leadership is on full display as we host our 2026 NAIC International Insurance Forum in our nation's capital. After Virginia Insurance Commissioner and NAIC President Scott White got our first day underway with a keynote address this morning, our packed agenda explored topics including consumer education, closing protection gaps, political risk and uncertainty, cybersecurity, the changing nature of business models and investments, the microinsurance landscape, reducing health risk through technology, and more. The Forum's solutions-focused dialogue not only helps provide a picture of the challenges and opportunities facing the insurance sector, but it also empowers attendees as they work to make a difference. We look forward to hearing from our colleagues at the IAIS - International Association of Insurance Supervisors as Friday’s agenda covers some of their latest initiatives and developments.

Members of the NAIC met today with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to share perspectives on the intersection of private credit and insurance and provide insight into state insurance regulators’ oversight of insurers’ risk management and investment practices, as states continue working to guarantee insurers can keep their promises to policyholders. “As markets rapidly evolve, the U.S. state-based system of insurance regulation continues to lead,” said Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation Director and NAIC President-Elect Elizabeth Dwyer. “We appreciated the opportunity to meet with Secretary Bessent and share how state insurance regulators are leveraging effective oversight and enhancing risk-mitigation frameworks to promote stable markets and deliver strong outcomes for consumers.” “This Administration is a strong supporter of the state-based system of insurance regulation and supervision, and I appreciate the work that each of you do every day in your states to protect American consumers. Like all of you, my team at Treasury is monitoring the transformation of the U.S. life insurance industry and trends in private credit. I look forward to our continued engagement as we monitor the developments in both markets,” said U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in reference to state insurance regulators and their work.
