7. Intro to Solvency II

8. CEIOPS Welcome to Solvency II...

9. CEIOPS THE SOLVENCY II PROJECT Solvency I Framework dates from the 1970s ‘Prudent’ valuation of liabilities reflect local accounting practices Relatively simplistic ‘volume- based’ capital requirements Asset risk managed by quantitative restrictions rather than capital No provision for risk review Solvency II A risk oriented approach Unified legislative basis for prudential regulation of insurers & reinsurers Non-zero failure regime Three pillar structure, based on Basel II Link to IASB work Employs Lamfalussy arrangements

10. CEIOPS A new structure for insurance supervision Insurance supervision: solo and groups Focus on firm’s responsibility Convergence of supervisory practices Convergence of supervisory reporting More pressure from rating agencies, capital markets Total balance sheet approach Market-consistent valuation (fair value) Validation of internal models Quantitative requirements Technical provisions (BE and risk margin) 2 capital requirements (MCR and SCR – SF/IM) Prudent person investment rule Own funds (3 tiers) Qualitative requirements Internal control and risk management (incl. ORSA) Supervisory review process (qualit. & quant - Add-ons) Reporting Supervisory reporting Public disclosure Market discipline Pillar 1Pillar 2Pillar 3

11. Reporting Requirements

12. CEIOPS Reporting requirements to the supervisors Report to Supervisors (RTS) Art. 35(1) All information necessary for the purposes of supervision - Qualitative report - Quantitative reporting templates Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR) Art. 50 Publicly disclosed information -Qualitative report -Quantitative reporting templates Art. 35(2) (a) (ii) and Art. 53(1) – upon occurrence of predefined events Art. 35(2) (a) (iii) – during enquiries regarding the situation of an undertaking Information to be received by the supervisory authority

13. CEIOPS Some potential reporting overlapping Solvency II:  Internal reporting, including the ORSA  IFRS/National GAAP  Tax reporting  Central banks  Central Statistical Bureau Solvency II & other reporting stakeholders

14. CEIOPS  Consult stakeholders  Discuss among members  Consider Impact Assessments for both industry and supervisors Decisions to be taken before using XBRL

15. CEIOPS  Common set of information supplemented with national specificities still to be developed and agreed  Definitions and taxonomy still to be developed  Different level of previous XBRL practises among both industry and supervisors  Is it appropriate to introduce XBRL requirements together with Solvency II considering to expected workload ? Challenges

16. CEIOPS  More smoothly exchange of information between supervisors  Cross border groups benefits from standardised requirements  Easier to build centralised databases for Financial Stability objectives Opportunities

17. CEIOPS  Among industry and/or supervisors some will not be able to fulfil timely reporting requirements – not appropriate especially in a crisis situation  Potential lack of XBRL experts around to develop functions  SME insurers increased burden/costs  National specificities and updates of contents are not easy to implement Risks ?
