Abstract

[fre] L’assurance européenne a un grand projet, Solvabilité II, qui changera profondément les règles de mesure de la solvabilité. Solvabilité II vise à établir un cadre européen sûr et pérenne pour que l’assurance continue à être un vecteur de croissance pour l’Europe. Ceci passe par une plus grande maîtrise dans l’analyse des risques et une harmonisation des niveaux de prudence des provisions techniques et de l’ensemble du bilan. Le capital réglementaire comportera deux niveaux, un niveau minimum et un niveau plus élevé, dit de solvabilité. Ce dernier sera calculé, soit par une formule standard, soit pour les grands groupes, par un modèle interne approuvé. Solvabilité II est un projet risqué car il met le risque au centre du système, mais c’est avant tout un défi qui mobilise de nombreux acteurs et exige des compétences nouvelles. . Classification JEL : G22, G28 [eng] The European insurance sector has a major project, Solvency II, which will radically change the rules for measuring solvency. Solvency II aims at establishing a secure and long-lasting European framework so that insurance can continue to play its role as a factor in Europe’s growth. This implies a qualitative improvement in risk analysis and harmonisation of the levels of prudence reflected in the technical provisions and in the balance sheet as a whole. The regulatory capital will comprise two levels, a minimum level and a higher Solvency Capital Requirement. The latter will be calculated either by a standard formula, or, for major groups, by means of an approved internal model. Solvency II is a risky project because it puts risk at the heart of the system but it is above all a challenge which involves many actors and requires them to develop new skills. . JEL classification : G22, G28
