About Us

The Cayman Islands Insurance Association (“CIIA”) was formed in 2004 to bring together the various associations representing the insurance industry in the Cayman Islands. The intention is to create a single body that can respond to and advise the public on insurance issues and have a single voice in discussions with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, who regulate the insurance industry. We have two Standing Committees: the General Insurance Standing Committee (“GISC”) and the Health Insurance Standing Committee (“HISC”), and the main board of the Cayman Islands Insurance Association which also includes a representative from Life Insurance.
