Selon l’ACPR, seuls la moitié des organismes intègrent les risques de durabilité dans leurs politiques clés. L’intégration est la plus avancée dans la gestion des risques d’investissement, mais reste limitée dans la souscription et le provisionnement. Peu d’ajustements tiennent compte des impacts climatiques, malgré leur effet croissant. L’ACPR encourage une amélioration, notamment via la réassurance et l’atténuation des risques, même au-delà des exigences réglementaires actuelles.
An agent with multiple loss models optimizes risk sharing with a counterparty using a mean-variance criterion adapted for ambiguity. Under a Cramér-Lundberg loss model, the optimal risk sharing contract and wealth process are characterized. The strategy is proven admissible, and the value function verified. The optimal strategy is applied to Spanish auto insurance data with differing models from cross-validation for numerical illustrations.
The insurance industry supports delaying the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) until 2028 while negotiations continue. Insurance Europe emphasizes the need for more time to assess impacts and avoid excessive regulatory burdens. Key recommendations include reducing CSRD reporting requirements, postponing CSDDD deadlines, simplifying EU Taxonomy rules, and removing Sustainability Risk Plans under Solvency II.
Insurance Europe calls on the EU to simplify the Retail Investment Strategy (RIS) to improve consumer access to investment, protection, and advice. Their recommendations include streamlining the "value for money" assessment by allowing supervisors to use benchmarks without requiring peer grouping by insurers and avoiding new reporting. They also advocate for a smoother consumer journey by shortening suitability tests and removing duplicative inducement tests. Finally, they propose reducing information overload by focusing on key disclosures and avoiding overly technical cost details. These simplifications, they argue, will boost investment and EU competitiveness.
The ESAs Spring 2025 update highlights geopolitical tensions and cyber risks as major threats to EU financial stability. Trade disputes, policy shifts, conflicts, and economic fragmentation demand increased vigilance. Financial institutions face uncertainties in international markets, liquidity, and AI's role. Proactive risk management, cyber resilience, and monitoring global linkages are crucial.
Banks’ digital accessibility communication varies, reflecting strategic priorities. ING and Santander proactively integrate it into long-term goals, while Deutsche Bank focuses on compliance, often superficially. Société Générale aspires to improve, but gaps persist between claims and action. Swedbank and Danske Bank offer limited transparency, prioritizing sustainability over accessibility. This fragmentation highlights differing stakeholder pressures and strategic ambitions, suggesting a need for stronger collaboration to embed inclusivity beyond compliance in self-service banking.
Insurance Europe supports simplifying the EU’s Taxonomy Regulation, advocating for reduced reporting burdens. It calls for suspending the insurance underwriting KPI, introducing a 10% materiality filter for the investment KPI, and simplifying reporting templates. The industry backs EU efforts to enhance sustainability while ensuring practical and effective regulatory measures.
Cyberattacks primarily impact firm value through increased costs rather than sales declines, indicating financial burdens over reputational damage. Costs persist beyond the short term, and firms invest in recovery efforts. Over time, reputational concerns have diminished as cyber resilience improves. These findings emphasize the need for strong corporate risk management, focusing on cost recovery, recovery planning, and trust restoration strategies tailored to specific contexts.
En 2024, la France vit plus que jamais dans une « société du risque» face aux tensions géopolitiques, au décrochage économique européen et à l'aggravation des risques climatiques (année la plus chaude, événements naturels coûteux). Les Français se sentent vulnérables et inquiets face aux risques de guerre et à la capacité future d'assurer les risques climatiques et autres. Le secteur de l'assurance, bien que créateur d'emplois et gérant un grand nombre de sinistres (dont le coût des événements naturels a atteint 5 milliards d'euros en France), fait face à une hausse de la sinistralité (dégâts des eaux, sinistres graves pour les professionnels, cyberattaques, sinistralité agricole record) et des coûts (réparation automobile, dépenses de santé).
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.
