While the vast majority of global insurers adopted IFRS 17 for reporting periods starting on or after January 1, 2023, some insurers are not fully compliant or are still in transition in 2026 due to deferred, phased, or region-specific timelines.
In addition, some insurers who technically adopted the standard in 2023 are still struggling with full, mature compliance in 2026 due to several ongoing factors, like:
- the need for manual workarounds
- data siloed in legacy systems
- resource turnover
- reinsurance complexity
