The ASEAN Insurance Regulators’ Meeting (AIRM) is the annual forum of insurance regulators and supervisors across ASEAN.
The ASEAN Insurance Regulators’ Meeting (AIRM) is the annual forum of insurance regulators and supervisors across ASEAN. Established in 1998, AIRM serves as a platform to strengthen regional cooperation in insurance regulation and supervision, market development, research, and capacity building, including through the ASEAN Insurance Training and Research Institute (AITRI). AIRM also holds an annual Joint Plenary Meeting with the insurance industry, including the ASEAN Insurance Council (AIC) and related regional bodies, to exchange views on the progress and implementation of ASEAN insurance initiatives. The 1st AIRM was held on 28–29 October 1998 in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam.
