IAIS began a public consultation on its application paper on how to achieve fair treatment of diverse consumers. The paper focuses on customer facing aspects of how insurers and intermediaries are conducting the business of insurance. Also, the paper discusses why the fair treatment of diverse consumers is relevant and how the concepts of risk-based pricing can exist with DEI.
