18/07/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 18 July, the European Commission launched a consultation on the revision of the ‘Solvency II’ delegated regulation, with the aim of removing obstacles that discourage insurers from contributing to the long-term financing of the European economy. In particular, the Commission is seeking feedback on the proposed changes to the technical rules governing: the valuation of insurers’ liabilities, the calculation of solvency requirements, reporting and transparency obligations, group supervision and other related areas. The revision proposes specific treatment for long-term equity investments by insurers in order to encourage equity financing of European companies. In line with the securitisation package presented on 17 June, certain provisions of the draft ‘Solvency II’ delegated regulation aim to remove obstacles to securitisation investments for insurers (see EUROPE 13661/26).
