BE-45 Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons

The Quarterly Survey of Insurance Transactions by U.S. Insurance Companies with Foreign Persons (Form BE-45) is an ongoing survey that collects data from U.S. persons who engage in covered insurance transactions. A U.S. person must report if they had combined transactions in the covered insurance services with foreign persons that exceeded $8 million (based on absolute value) for the previous calendar year or are expected to exceed that amount during the current calendar year. The data are needed to monitor U.S. trade in insurance services, to analyze the impact of these cross-border services on the U.S. and foreign economies, to compile and improve the U.S. economic accounts, to support U.S. commercial policy on trade in services, to conduct trade promotion, and to improve the ability of U.S. businesses to identify and evaluate market opportunities. The data are used in estimating the trade in insurance services component of the U.S. international transactions accounts (ITAs) and national income and product accounts (NIPAs).
