Federal Reserve Board.
During the meeting, participants on both sides provided updates regarding the
implementation and administration of the Agreement with regard to reinsurance (including
collateral and local presence), group supervision, and exchange of information. Both sides
rea irmed the importance of the Agreement and acknowledged that the Agreement is
functioning well and is an important element of regulatory cooperation between the parties.
Both sides also rea irmed their commitment to continuous review of progress under the
Agreement and to close coordination concerning prudential matters under the Agreement.
Consistent with the Agreement, both sides are continuing to encourage relevant authorities
to refrain from taking any measures that are inconsistent with any of the provisions of the
Agreement.
