The National Bank of Tajikistan as the insurance supervisory authority of the Republic of Tajikistan has officially joined the Cape Town Declaration on Inclusive Insurance, thereby joining the Access to Insurance Initiative (AII).
The Access to Insurance Initiative works with insurance supervisors in member countries to expand insurance coverage globally. Its key participants include central banks, insurance supervisors, finance ministries, international institutions, development partners, research centers and partner networks including the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI).
The Access to Insurance Initiative established as an international initiative with the support of the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and other development partners has played a key role in developing industry knowledge, facilitating the exchange of experiences among insurance experts and strengthening dialogue between regulators and other stakeholders since 2009.
The initiative's primary goal is to expand insurance coverage and improve access to insurance services worldwide. In this context, several key areas are being implemented, including supporting the implementation of the Cape Town Declaration on Inclusive Insurance, developing innovative approaches to inclusive insurance, and creating platforms for exchanging experiences among regulators.
Key action areas of the Cape Town Declaration include microinsurance regulation, digitalization of insurance services, natural disasters insurance, gender equality, financial inclusion and strengthening the professional capacity of insurance regulators.
It is worth noting that this Declaration contains five high-level goals aligned with the strategic directions for the development of insurance supervision in the Republic of Tajikistan.
This initiative will enable the country's insurance system to gain access to the international experience, improve sectoral legislation, and develop innovative processes for comprehensive regulation and supervision of insurance.
