Solvency II
FAQs

What is Solvency II?

Solvency II is a comprehensive regulatory framework for the insurance and reinsurance industry in the European Union, setting prudential requirements and risk management standards for the financial stability and soundness of insurance companies.

Who needs to comply with Solvency II?

Solvency II compliance is mandatory for:

  • Insurance and reinsurance companies.
  • Life insurance and non-life insurance providers.
  • Reinsurance companies.
  • Insurance intermediaries and other insurance service providers are subject to certain Solvency II requirements.

Compliance with Solvency II is crucial to ensure the financial stability, risk management, and regulatory adherence of entities operating in the EU insurance sector.

What are the three pillars of Solvency II?

Solvency II is built on three pillars:

  • Pillar 1: “Quantitative Requirements” – Setting capital and risk management standards. Will incentivize or disincentivize certain investment categories.
  • Pillar 2: “Qualitative Requirements” – Focusing on governance, risk management, and supervision. Includes the Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) process, which will enhance ESG governance and risk management.
  • Pillar 3: “Disclosure and Reporting Requirements” – Requiring transparent reporting to stakeholders and regulatory authorities. Will integrate with broader ESG frameworks such as CSRD and SFCR. Regular stress tests will ensure the ESG resilience of Solvency II-regulated entities.
What’s the difference between Solvency II and Solvency UK?

Solvency II: Solvency II is a European Union regulatory framework that applies to insurance and reinsurance companies operating within the EU. It sets out prudential requirements, risk management standards, and reporting and disclosure obligations for the entire EU insurance industry. It aims to create a harmonized and consistent regulatory environment across the EU member states.

Solvency UK: Solvency UK, often referred to as the UK’s implementation of Solvency II, is the application of Solvency II principles in the UK. It is how the UK transposed Solvency II requirements into its national legislation. While it closely aligns with Solvency II, there are some specific UK adaptations and regulations that reflect the unique features of the UK insurance market.

How does Solvency II impact business models and strategies of insurers?

Solvency II requires insurers to adopt a more risk-aware approach, leading to a shift in business models, product portfolios, and investment strategies. Insurers must develop more risk-adequate products, align their investments with liabilities, and prioritize capital efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance.

How does Solvency II address climate and sustainability risks?

Solvency II regulatory authorities are increasingly focusing on climate and sustainability risks. There is a growing emphasis on integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into risk assessments and reporting.

What is the role of technology in Solvency II compliance?

Technology is crucial for Solvency II compliance, enabling efficient data management, risk modelling, regulatory reporting, and automating compliance processes. Technology also uses advanced analytics to assess and manage risks more effectively.
