The Reserve Bank of New Zealand issued this document to define the standardized financial, solvency, and statistical information required from licensed insurers in their Annual and Quarterly Insurer Reports. It establishes terminology, materiality thresholds, and reporting priorities aligned with the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 and NZ IFRS 17 measurement models. The guidelines specify precise definitions for insurance revenue, service expenses, balance sheet items, and reinsurance recoveries to ensure consistent regulatory data submission.
