Abstract

[en] IFRS 17 is the new Standard for insurance contracts. It was published on the 18th of May 2017 and will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts as from its effective date, the 1st of January 2021. IFRS 4 was only an interim Standard. However, the IASB took about ten years to publish the new IFRS 17. The underlying reason is that insurance contracts are difficult to measure due to the uncertainty and insurance risk linked. IFRS 17 was eventually published and insurers are left with three and a half year to fully implement it. There are however many concerns raised in the industry linked to the complexity and uncertainty of the Standard. This thesis mainly focuses on ten interviews that have been analyzed in order to draw conclusions.
