Words of wisdom: “The adoption of IFRS 17 is particularly significant given the market concentration of large diversified insurers and (Canada’s) robust regulatory environment, which emphasizes prudential oversight and consumer protection. The standard’s implementation is expected to drive greater alignment between Canadian insurers and their global peers.”
