Question
Is IDA (International Development Association, member of the World Bank Group) to be assigned a 0% risk weight for Solvency 2?
There are three World Bank entities that issue AAA/Aaa bonds, IBRD, IFC and IDA.
IBRD and IFC are already recognised under Solvency 2 as being assigned a 0% risk weight by reference to Regulation 575/2013. On 30 November 2016 the Basel Committee added IDA to the list of 0% risk weighted entities under Basel, (https://www.bis.org/publ/bcbs_nl19.htm).
Is IDA also 0%?
EIOPA answer
No.
