SLFRS 17 (IFRS 17) adoption will reshape Sri Lanka's life insurance sector, with reporting for the first two quarters deferred until 30 Sep 2026; insurers say the standard will shift focus from premium volumes to insurance service revenue, CSM visibility and protection products, and may encourage consolidation.
The IRCSL hosted the OECD–ADBI roundtable in Colombo and unveiled a new vision and roadmap aiming to double Sri Lanka's insurance penetration to 3% of GDP by 2030/2035. The two-day forum brings policymakers and industry together to discuss regulatory reform, climate risk and data-driven insurance solutions.
