  • Paul KANJORSKI (D-PA): Today, the Financial Services Committee will examine the three legislative discussion graphs on investor protection, private fund adviser registration, and insurance information that I released last week.

  • Federal Insurance Office Act
  • Federal Insurance Expertise.  Insurance plays a vital role in the smooth and efficient functioning of our economy, but the credit crisis highlighted the lack of expertise within the federal government regarding the industry, especially during the collapse of American International Group (AIG) and last year’s turmoil in the bond insurance markets.
    • A Federal Insurance Office will provide national policymakers with access to the information and resources needed to respond to crises, mitigate systemic risks, and help ensure a well functioning financial system.
  • International Coordination.  Although America’s insurance markets still operate on a state-by-state basis, today’s markets are global.
    • The Federal Insurance Office will therefore provide a unified voice on insurance matters for the United States in global deliberations.
