Insurance Core Principles (concluded)
for groups operating on a cross-border basis in Thailand through investment in local insurers or through
branches.
24. Macroprudential Surveillance and Insurance Supervision
No comments.
25. Supervisory Cooperation and Coordination
No comments.
26. Cross-border Cooperation and Coordination on Crisis Management
The OIC does not formally participate in all supervisory colleges or, where applicable, of crisis management
groups, of foreign-based groups operating in Thailand, due in part to the relatively small share of the
domestic business of some groups relative to the group on a consolidated basis.
For firms operating in Thailand on a cross-border basis, contingency plans are not required as a matter of
course, but they may be required on an ad hoc basis by the OIC in light of events or emerging risks.
Certain aspects covered by the ICP principles, e.g., for the supervisor to share certain information with other
relevant supervisors, are not covered by a specific local requirement (although, as a practical matter, they
may be handled by the OIC in the course of inter-supervisor communications including through colleges.
Such information includes about group structure (including legal, financial, and operational intragroup
dependencies); interlinkages between the insurer and the financial system in each jurisdiction where it
operates; and potential impediments to a coordinated solution.

Insurance Core Principle
Recommendations
1. Objectives, Powers, and
Responsibilities of the Supervisor
It is recommended that the authorities amend the primary
legislation at their next opportunity to vest greater power for key
supervisory decisions with the OIC. In particular, consideration
should be given to transferring each of those powers that are
currently vested in the MOF to the OIC directly.
2. Supervisor
It is recommended that the government and OIC consider:
•
Repealing or revising Section 45 of the ICA to ensure
that the OIC is independent in the administration of
its supervisory duties and that its decisions cannot be
suspended without appropriate administrative
process (e.g., appeal to the court system).
•
Requiring all commission appointments to be based
on the qualification of candidates rather than their
positions in other government organizations. Board
members appointed on the basis of their positions in
other government organizations could face conflict of
interest issues between their regular position
