The Asian Reinsurance Corporation is an intergovernmental organization established in May 1979 under the auspices of the UN-ESCAP.
According to the corporation portal, membership is open to all state members or associate members of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.
ARC has been set up with the aim of expansion of reinsurance coverage between regional countries.
Iran’s membership in ARC’s board of directors indicates that despite the U.S. sanctions imposed on Iran, the country’s insurance industry has been expanding ties with the countries in the region.
