Basic Capital Requirements(BCR) and Higher Loss Absorbency(HLA) BCR HLA As a foundation for HLA

Basic Capital Requirements(BCR) and Higher Loss Absorbency(HLA) BCR HLA As a foundation for HLA requirements for GSIIs, the IAIS will develop straightforward, basic capital requirements to apply to all group activities, including non-insurance subsidiaries. The BCR is intended to balance between simplicity and risk sensitivity, as well as provide a more comparable foundation for the HLA than local capital requirements. Based on the foundation of the BCR, the higher loss absorbency requirements will focus on systemic risks and non-traditional non-insurance (NTNI) activities as the second step towards the ICS. The HLA will be completed in 2015 and implemented to G-SIIs from 2019.
