History

Founded in December 1987, the Macau InsurersΓÇÖ Association (ASM) is a self-regulation entity with the aims to enhance and promote the insurance industry of Macau. Working under a set of common beliefs of rendering better services and of strengthening technical competence of insurers, the 18 companies then founded the ASM which has gained full recognition by the Government of Macau as a representative body of the insurance industry.

For the past decade, the ASM has put forth numerous recommendations on the regulatory framework laid down by the Government. It has also been diligently cultivating contacts and exchanging ideas with its international counterparts.
