AMENDING CIRCULAR 10/19 OF THE SINGLE INSURANCE AND SURETY CIRCULAR

(Annex 6.1.2.)

The National Commission of Insurance and Sureties, based on the provisions of Articles 366, fraction II, 367, fraction I, 369, fraction I, 372, fractions VI and XLII, 373, and 381 of the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions, and

CONSIDERING

That on April 4, 2013, the "Decree issuing the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions and reforming and adding various provisions of the Law on the Insurance Contract" was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, through which, in terms of its First Article, the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions was issued.

That on December 19, 2014, the Single Insurance and Surety Circular was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, through which the general provisions emanating from the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions are made known, systematizing its integration and homogenizing the terminology used, in order to thereby provide legal certainty regarding the regulatory framework to which insurance institutions and mutual insurance societies, surety institutions, and other persons and entities subject to the inspection and surveillance of the National Commission of Insurance and Sureties must adhere in the development of their operations.

That in terms of what is provided in Article 49 of the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions, the minimum paid-in capital that insurance and surety institutions must have for each operation or line, or line or sub-line, as the case may be, that is authorized to them, shall be the equivalent in national currency to the value of the Investment Units determined by the Commission through general provisions.

That with the objective of providing greater legal certainty regarding the regulatory framework to which the aforementioned entities must adhere, it is necessary to modify the Single Insurance and Surety Circular regarding the minimum paid-in capital, in order to make known the value of the Investment Unit that insurance and surety institutions must consider to calculate the equivalent in national currency of their minimum paid-in capital as established by Article 49 of the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions.

That through the determination of minimum paid-in capitals, it is sought that insurance and surety institutions have a solid financial position that allows them to respond to the obligations and responsibilities they assume in the exercise of their activity, so it is necessary to modify Annex 6.1.2. of the Single Insurance and Surety Circular in order to make known the value of the Investment Unit that said institutions must consider to calculate the equivalent in national currency of their minimum paid-in capital.

For the aforementioned reasons, this Commission has resolved to issue an Amending Circular to the Single Insurance and Surety Circular in the terms indicated below:
