Abstract

Global reinsurers domiciled outside the United States (alien reinsurers) play a critical role in maintaining the solvency of the US insurance industry as well as economic stability across the nation. Three issues are threatening the position of the alien reinsurers in the United States: the complexity of the 50-state regulatory system, collateral requirements, and tax status. During the second half of 2007 and into 2008, various regulatory agencies and government bodies have taken steps to address these issues for both the good and the bad.
