Singapore aims to be a global hub for insurance and reinsurance in the Asia Pacific region, and as an international financial centre it currently hosts a mixture of local and international insurers and reinsurers serving different market sectors. However, the domestic insurance market is small, and insurers registered in Singapore come from many countries and provide products and services to many businesses and individuals outside the city-state. This presents challenges to the sole financial regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), in implementing and enforcing corporate governance standards on various (re)insurers, many of which are part of larger overseas insurance groups. What should be the way to impose corporate governance standards on various types of (re)insurers? This chapter addresses these questions in the context of Singapore. The general regulatory concerns over corporate governance standards and Singapore’s corporate governance regimes for insurers are first introduced. Specific corporate governance issues are then examined, including the implementation of standards for non-domestic insurers or a branch or subsidiary of a larger insurance group from overseas, and the governance of captive insurers and reinsurers. Singapore’s approach is then discussed and the effectiveness of corporate governance regulations for insurers is assessed. Empirical evidence is presented when data are available.</jats:p>enInsurance, Corporate governance, Singaporebook part10.1007/978-3-030-85817-9_62-s2.0-85143530744http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-85817-9_6113140871
