EIOPA consults on infrastructure investment risk categories
02 July 2015
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) published a Consultation Paper on its advice to the European Commission (EC) on the identification and calibration of infrastructure investment risk categories.
EIOPA welcomes views in particular on the following proposals:
-
Definitions and criteria to identify qualifying infrastructure debt and equity investments, which may warrant a different standard formula treatment (chapter 3);
-
Calibration for qualifying infrastructure investments (chapters 4,5,6);
-
Additional risk management requirements (chapter 7);
-
Possible obstacles to infrastructure investments that are not justified by prudential considerations (chapter 8).
The consultation period will end on 9 August 2015.
In February 2015, the EC requested EIOPA to provide the technical advice on the identification and calibration of infrastructure investment risk categories in Commission Delegated Regulation (2015/35) supplementing the Solvency II Directive (2009/138/EC).
In March-April 2015, EIOPA publicly consulted on a Discussion paper on infrastructure investments by insurers
EIOPA intends to submit its final Advice to the European Commission by September 2015.
