The OECD, U.S. National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the Office of Insurance Commission (OIC), Thailand, have jointly organised a roundtable on insurance and retirement savings to gather key stakeholders in Asia and discuss policy issues that will lead to the sound development of insurance and private pensions markets.

This roundtable brought together government officials and experts from public authorities, including regulatory and supervisory authorities, ministries of finance, representatives from international organisations, standard setter bodies, the academic community, the private sector as well as NGOs. OECD contributions were supported by the Japanese Government.
