The update also includes a new sets of risk indicators laid down in the Banking Package (Capital Requirements Regulation and Capital Requirements Directive - CRR3/CRD6), indicators related to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), and those already used in the context of the Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL).”

EIOPA proposes one‑to‑one capital requirements for EU insurers’ crypto asset holdings

EIOPA highlights the lack of consistent regulatory treatment for crypto assets in the (re)insurance sector, raising concerns about risk sensitivity. Current capital weight options may underestimate crypto risks. To ensure prudence, EIOPA proposes a uniform 100% capital requirement for all crypto holdings. This approach balances risk management with simplicity while acknowledging that future market growth may require revisions. A review of crypto treatment under Solvency II is recommended as the sector evolves.

ECB Supervisory priorities 2025‑27

Discretionary Decisions in Capital Requirements under Solvency II

Date : Tags : , , , , ,
#insurers have discretion to determine #solvencyii #capitalrequirements. We find that long-term guarantees measures substantially influence the reported solvency ratios. The measures are chosen particularly by less solvent insurers and firms with high interest rate and credit spread sensitivities. Internal #models are used more frequently by large insurers and especially for #risks for which the firms have already found adequate immunization strategies.

Machine Learning and IRB Capital Requirements: Advantages, Risks, and Recommendations

This paper examines the use of #machinelearning methods in the context of #banks' #capitalrequirements, specifically the internal Ratings Based (#irb) approach. The authors discuss the advantages and risks of using machine learning in this domain, and provide recommendations related to #risk parameter estimations, #regulatory capital, the trade-off between performance and interpretability, international #banking competition, and #governance, #operationalrisk, and training.

Weaknesses of Financial Market Regulation

" The biggest Shortcoming of the recent reforms to the stabilization of the #financialsystem, such as #baseliii and the American #doddfrankact Act, is that they increase the #capitalrequirements rather than the causes of the increased #risk. It would generally be better to forbid risky and complex #financialproducts than to further increase #regulation complexity."

The uncharted territory of the Bank of England's human rights obligations

The paper argues that the BoE, as a public authority, must abide by the #humanrights obligations set out in the European Convention on Human Rights, which are deeply intertwined with climate concerns.
