[摘要]在市场经济体制下,保险经营者必须具有市场意识,但监管者应当拥有市场意识的必要性和迫切性往往容易被忽略。监管者要掌握市场经济环境下的监管原理和监管规律,自觉地放弃计划经济的观念和习惯做法。以市场意识主导监管实践,要求监管机构和监管人员尊重企业自主权,妥善处理好市场经济体制下放松管制与加强监管的关系,在“放松管制”的同时“加强监管”正是监管者理智和成熟的表现。 [关键词]政府职能;市场经济;加强监管;放松管制;保险代理 [中图分类号] F840.3 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2005)11-0046-03 Abstract: In a market economy,it is easy to understand that insurers should follow the rules of the market.However,it is often ignored that regulators should do exactly the same.As a matter of fact,regulators should have a good command of the regulatory theories and rules under the market economy,and proactively give up their old regulatory habits under the planned economy.Regulators should fully respect the insurers’rights to decide how to run their companies,and properly handle the issue of relaxing control and enhancing regulation under the market economy.Effective regulation while relaxing strict market control is a sign of maturity of the regulators.
