This consultation paper investigates how natural catastrophe insurance within the Solvency II framework can better account for climate change adaptation measures. The document distinguishes between macro-level protections, such as public flood defenses, and micro-level interventions implemented by individual property owners to reduce vulnerability. By analyzing perils like floods, earthquakes, and windstorms, the report evaluates whether the standard formula for capital requirements should be adjusted to reward these risk-reduction efforts. The text explores several regulatory options, including the use of undertaking-specific parameters and internal models, to ensure that insurers have the financial incentive to promote resilience. Ultimately, the paper seeks to bridge the protection gap by aligning prudential capital charges with the actual physical improvements made to insured assets.

EIOPA’s article reports results from a survey of 347 insurance undertakings in 25 European countries on generative AI adoption. It describes that many insurers are increasingly using generative AI, with nearly two-thirds actively deploying tools, mainly for internal productivity tasks, while customer-facing applications remain at proof-of-concept stage. Respondents cited efficiency, cost reduction, customer experience and decision support as drivers. The summary notes challenges including data privacy, security, regulatory compliance and skill gaps, and highlights risks such as inaccurate outputs and third-party reliance. It also describes growing development of dedicated AI governance and risk policies.

The EBA released an updated list of indicators for risk assessment and risk analysis tools, along with a revised methodological guide. This update does not introduce any additional reporting requirements for institutions or competent authorities. Instead, it clarifies how risk indicators are calculated in EBA publications, enabling users and competent authorities to interpret key banking figures consistently when conducting risk assessments and analyses.
