Financial stability

Our approach to financial stability

EIOPA strives to be in a position to take preventive action and so takes a forward looking approach to this work. 

The core of EIOPA's approach to financial stability is to bring together risk analysis and vulnerability analysis in order to assess the stability of the sector at a point in time.

EIOPA has a responsibility to inform other European Supervisory Authorities, the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) as well as the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission of the emergence of such risks and vulnerabilities. In this way, EIOPA performs its role as part of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS).

The risk dashboard presents a quarterly risk assessment of the European Union insurance industry using Solvency II data.

It looks at different types of risk, such as  risks related to macro, credit, market, liquidity and funding, insurance underwriting risks or ESG-related risks. At the same time, it covers market perceptions, as well as profitability and solvency.
