Private life insurance control in Germany tightens supervision
Berlin reports that the interior ministry oversees private life insurers with a Kaiser appointed council of about a dozen directors and an advisory board. No new company can operate without permission, books must be kept in a specific manner, and weekly examinations ensure reserve funds and director fees are carefully managed. Violations can force a company to quit business, leading to cheaper administration but tighter oversight.
