Insurance companies:

With the rapid development of the insurance market in China, the task of guarding against risks has become increasingly onerous. As the principal means of guarding against risks and spreading risks, the function of reinsurance has increasingly come to the fore. However, the reinsurance market itself poses certain risks, and, in particular, factors such as the solvency, financial position and profitability of a reinsurer have a material impact on the stable operations and healthy development of a cedent. With a view to thoroughly implementing the spirit of the 2007 National Insurance Conference, strengthening the establishment by the insurance industry of mechanisms for guarding against risks, improving the insurance industry's capacity to counter risks and promoting the rapid and healthy development of the insurance market, we hereby notify you concerning relevant issues as follows:
