APRA retires prudential practice guides on the risk management framework for life and general insurers
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) has retired two out-of-date Prudential Practice Guides on the risk management framework for general and life insurers.
The decision to retire Prudential Practice Guide GPG 250 Balance Sheet and Market Risk (GPG 250), and Prudential Practice Guide LPG 250 Asset and Liability Management Risk (LPG 250) follows APRA’s strategic initiative to modernise the prudential architecture. It aims to remove out-of-date guidance that no longer adds meaningful value in understanding the current prudential requirements. The risks considered in GPG 250, and LPG 250 are addressed by requirements in Prudential Standard CPS 220 Risk Management, supported by Prudential Practice Guide CPG 220 Risk Management.
The letter to industry is available on the APRA website at: Retirement of GPG 250 and LPG 250.
