Insurers prepare proposals for the resumption of DPVAT – 04/14/2023 – Panel SA

The insurance market has already prepared its proposals, which must be defended by the sector in the debate on the DPVAT, the compulsory indemnity insurance for victims of traffic accidents.

The subject returns to the agenda in the coming weeks with the opening of the working group announced by the Ministry of Finance this Friday (14th) to raise suggestions for changes in insurance legislation.

Among the advocated alternatives, the insurers suggest the model in which the vehicle owner chooses the company that will offer the insurance, and the price will be defined by each insurer.

The mandatory payment of the DPVAT by vehicle owners was abolished during the Bolsonaro government, while coverage was replaced by resources from a fund, which is managed by Caixa, but should expire at the end of the year.

The working group, which will be linked to the Secretariat for Economic Reforms, should present suggestions for a competitive model in which insurers offer coverage through private insurance and also a public management model managed by an operating agent.

In addition to representatives from the ministry and Susep (Superintendence of Private Insurance), private entities will also participate in the elaboration.
