Solvency II

Risk-based equity capital requirements

The objective of the European Commission’s Solvency II project is to introduce risk-based equity capital requirements (Solvency Capital Requirement, Pillar 1). These new regulations are supplemented by qualitative requirements (Pillar 2) and reporting and disclosure requirements (Pillar 3).

Insurance companies are required to demonstrate to the supervisory authorities that their risk management systems and methods are safe, reliable and transparent. To protect policyholders from the potential consequences of an insolvency of their insurer, the supervisory authorities will step in if the solvency capital of an insurance company falls below the solvency capital requirement or even the minimum solvency capital.
