MODIFYING CIRCULAR 1/25 OF THE SINGLE INSURANCE AND SURETY BOND CIRCULAR
(Annexes 5.15.3. and 7.2.5.)
The National Commission of Insurance and Surety Bonds, based on what is provided in articles 366, fraction II, 372, fractions VI and XLII, 373 and 381 of the Law of Insurance and Surety Bond Institutions, and:
CONSIDERING
That in terms of what is provided in Chapter 5.15 of the Single Insurance and Surety Bond Circular, Institutions will value the reserve for sureties in force using paid claim ratios that will be calculated by this Commission and assigned to each Institution during the first quarter of each year.
That Institutions that do not have timely, homogeneous, reliable, and sufficient information to carry out the valuation of the reserve for sureties in force, must use the paid claim ratios and the annual index of administrative expenses of the surety market made known in Annex 5.15.3. of the Single Insurance and Surety Bond Circular.
That in accordance with what is provided in Provision 5.15.2, fraction IV, of the Single Insurance and Surety Bond Circular, said claim ratios will be reviewed during the first quarter of each year and updated when a significant change in the value of these is observed.
That with the objective that Institutions comply with the above, this Decentralized Body considers it convenient to update in the same way the market parameters referred to in Annex 5.15.3. of the aforementioned Circular.
That Chapter 7.2. of the Single Insurance and Surety Bond Circular refers that Institutions are obligated to report to this Commission the results of the Dynamic Solvency Test carried out with the statutory scenarios referred to in Annex 7.2.5. of the same Circular.
That Provision 7.2.1. of the Circular in question provides that Institutions must carry out, at least annually, a Dynamic Solvency Test whose purpose will be to evaluate the sufficiency of the Admissible Own Funds of such entities to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement under various prospective scenarios in their operation.
That, taking into account the foregoing, the Commission has determined the statutory scenarios that could affect the financial condition of Institutions, taking into account the general evolution of the insurance and surety markets and the macroeconomic context of the country, so it is necessary to update the statutory scenarios for the Dynamic Solvency Test, which Institutions must use to carry out said test, corresponding to the 2024 exercise.
Therefore, this Commission issues the following modification to the Single Insurance and Surety Bond Circular in the following terms:
