Future Task Force

---

The Insurance Authority (“IA”) is firmly committed to building and sustaining a regulatory environment conducive to business development and embracing technology.  Against this background, the Future Task Force of the Insurance Industry (“FTF”) has been set up to work hand in hand with the IA in exploring the future of the insurance industry.

The FTF, established by Dr Moses Cheng, founding Chairman of the IA, comprises experts and professionals from the insurance industry and the academia.  Apart from identifying socio-economic and demographic factors that will shape the insurance industry in future, the major tasks of the FTF are to draw up recommendations to promote the sustainable development of the insurance industry and to protect the interests of policy holders.

At present, there are three working groups under the FTF to look into three respective important scopes that are shaping the future of the industry:

• Financial Technology (“Fintech”);
• Financial Regulation and Policy; and
• Image Building.

If you have any suggestions on the work of the FTF, please contact us through email at [email protected].
