The development of sound, modern and open insurance markets is an essential component of financial reform in emerging and transition countries. Insurance plays a fundamental role in national economic and social structures as well as in the promotion of entrepreneurship spirit, which is critical for the successful growth of these countries. Complementing a landmark series of publications related to insurance policy issues, the OECD has produced this unique glossary of insurance policy terms for government insurance officials, and academic and business communities worldwide. The selected topics range from insurance policy regulation/supervision to general trade issues and include technical terms related to issues such as claims, premiums and provisions.

The once booming dynamic economies in Asia were drawn into a whirlpool of business failures and economic devastation following the flotation of the Thai baht in July 1997, and the consequent collapse of asset prices and currency depreciations in several East Asian countries. High growth in these emerging market economies had masked important structural weaknesses that eventually triggered the economic slump now referred to as the Asia Crisis. To address the structural measures needed to restore sustained economic growth and stability in the crisis-affected countries, this book brings forth analyses and recommendations on the crisis from internationally respected economists and policy makers and the OECD.
