Solvency II standard formula : consideration of non-life reinsurance. — Zurich : Swiss Re, 2009

(Focus report)

Sumario: The Solvency II framework is based on an economic assessment of insurers' risk and capital. This will oblige insurers to apply economic principles when calculating their required and avaiable regulatory capital. An economic principle-based approach means using market-consistent values for the assessment of the asset and liability side of an insurer's balance sheet. Based on their individual situation, each (re)insurance company must answer the question of whether to use the Solvency II Standard Formula or, alternatively, a partial internal model or a full internal model for this calculation. It is anticipated that some companies will rely on the stantard formula once the Solvency II framework is implemented. While the standard formula has many strenghts, there are also several issues that require improvement
