Proposal for the Measurement of Reinsurance Contracts under IFRS 17

Abstract

The paper introduces the proposal of the measurement model for insurance and reinsurance contracts in accordance with the new standard IFRS 17 Insurance contracts that will be effective as of January 1, 2023. The Standard does not contain formulas, but it is principle-based, which is why the selected method of general model measurement is a scientific benefit for the measurement of the insurance product. The application of the GMM method is not the same as that of the insurance company and the reinsurance company perspective, despite the same chosen actuarial assumptions. The scope of changes, which the new Standard offers, is comprehensive and brings new challenges, even for scientific purposes.
