Solvency II - Advanced

Solvency 2 is the EU regulatory prudential framework for (re)insurance companies which aims at leveling the playing field of the insurance market in terms of capital requirements, governance and policyholder protection. In 2021, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has introduced an update of the current regulation aiming at making the insurance and reinsurance sectors more resilient and prepared for future challenges, whilst stabilising insurers' capital requirements, giving them room to manoeuvre in the short term.
