      "title": "Insurance Regulation: International Developments",
      "summary": "Events and entities outside the United States are affecting or may affect the competitive position\nof\nU.S. insurers, in two ways. First, supranational organizations are developing international standards\nfor insurance accounting and for aspects of supervision, such as reinsurance supervision. Second, \nU.S. insurers are operating under a much more fragmented regulatory regime than their competitors\nin other countries, such as the U.K., that are consolidating and modernizing their supervision. \nInternational standards and regulatory competition are important parameters on the U.S. industry's\naccess to capital and therefore on its ability to provide innovative and traditional risk financing in\nthe United States. This report was written under the research supervision of Barbara Miles,\nGovernment and Finance Division, and will be updated as events warrant.",
