Insurance Regulators
- Office of the Superintendent of Insurance
- The Office of the Superintendent of Insurance is the official regulator of the insurance industry; however, in 1997 in response to a call from the leaders of the life insurance industry, the government established the Financial Sector Adjustment Company (Finsac) to assist in the rehabilitation of the ailing financial sector. Finsac has been spearheading the revision of the Insurance Act with a view to strengthening the insurance regulatory environment. For more information on recent events in the Jamaican financial sector, please refer to the article by Janet Sharp in the February 1999 issue of the International Section newsletter.
