CIMA To Investigate Cayman Insurance Market
by Amanda Banks, Tax-News.com, London

29 December 2004

The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) has announced that it is to undertake a review of the jurisdiction’s domestic insurance market to examine issues that have arisen in the wake of Hurricane Ivan, which struck the island in September.

The review was sought by CIMA’s board of directors after several incidents of underinsurance came to light.

The Authority will perform the review, in conjunction with the private sector, commencing mid-2005, when both parties will have a fuller picture of the impact of the hurricane.

CIMA has also been asked by the Cabinet to investigate claims of underinsurance.
