Solvency II is a transformative regulation for the European insurance industry, as it harmonizes the regulatory regime across all 28 member states of the EU and forces insurers to better manage the risks they face while also better protecting policyholders and shareholders. Adopted in 2009 and coming into effect on January 1, 2016, it has been a long, tough journey for many European insurers as they have worked hard to comply with the new regulations.
However, insurers all around the globe will also be watching carefully as Solvency II takes effect, to see whether the regulations meet their intended objectives and to learn from both the successes and failures. But it is a complex regulatory framework – and to benefit from the lessons learned in Europe, practitioners first need to understand the core principles and important details of the directive.
