The insurance industry constitutes a vital component of China's financial institutions. Insurance intermediaries, serving as an organic part of the modern market economy intermediary system, represent a crucial segment within the insurance sector. Insurance intermediary institutions refer to entities that operate between insurance operators or between insurance operators and policyholders, specializing in intermediary services such as insurance consultation and solicitation, risk management and arrangement, value measurement and assessment, loss appraisal and adjustment, while legally obtaining commissions or service fees.
The development of China's insurance intermediary institutions has shown robust growth momentum. However, challenges persist, including: an inadequate legal framework for insurance intermediaries, structural imbalances within the industry, irregular operational practices, and imperfect corporate governance mechanisms.
In April 2018, the China Banking Regulatory Commission and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission merged to form the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (CBIRC). The Implementation Measures for Administrative Licensing and Filing of Insurance Intermediaries, deliberated and adopted at the 13th Commission Affairs Meeting of the CBIRC on December 19, 2019, promulgated on October 28, 2021, and effective from February 1, 2022, was implemented to establish fair, transparent, and efficient administrative licensing and filing mechanisms for insurance intermediaries, thereby standardizing procedures for insurance intermediary licensing and filing matters.
