Hong Kong reveals insurance-linked securities (ILS) grant details

Hong Kong’s Insurance Authority (IA), the independent insurance and reinsurance regulator for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HK SAR) of the People’s Republic of China, has now published initial details of its insurance-linked securities (ILS) grant scheme.

Back in February of this year, Financial Secretary of Hong Kong Paul Chan revealed plans for a Pilot Insurance‑linked Securities Grant Scheme that will pay as much as HK $12 million per issuance, which is close to US $1.6 million of potential ILS or catastrophe bond issuance cost savings for sponsors choosing to use Hong Kong as a domicile.

The Hong Kong Insurance Authority (IA) has now published details of a two-year Pilot Insurance-linked Securities Grant Scheme, which it says “provides an incentive for insurance companies and organisations to issue insurance-linked securities (ILS) in Hong Kong.”
