Abstract: The insurance industry has become more important for systemic financial stability. As a result, the supervision and disclosure of financial risks of insurance companies need to be strengthened. The insurance industry's increasing systemic importance also suggests that there is a need to search for some middle ground in the discussion of fair value accounting to mitigate potentially destabilizing financial volatility. The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance (2004) 29, 63–70. doi:10.1111/j.1468-0440.2004.00270.x
