Union-wide Strategic Supervisory Priorities 2024-2026

EIOPA identified two strategic priorities that National Competent Authorities (NCAs) shall take into account when drawing up their work programmes for 2024-2026: Financial robustness of insurance undertakings and Consumer protection in a disruptive environment. 

Considering both strategic priorities, EIOPA identifies in each of the three years’ cycle more concrete insurance-specific areas for the next year, to support NCAs’ application of the strategic priorities considering relevant developments and trends. Other regular supervisory activities, not explicitly mentioned in this document, will also be carried out in parallel and complement the work on the priorities.

For 2026 EIOPA established the following Focus areas:

• DORA
• Sustainability risks

These areas are reflecting continuity in strategic direction and alignment with the work programmes of the other European Supervisory Authorities under the umbrella of the European System of Financial Supervision. 

Additionally, and to cater for some insurance specific developments, EIOPA and the NCAs identified the following two Areas for Attention for 2026: 

• Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) calculation related to Collective Investment Undertakings (CIU) (prudential); and
• Fair treatment of consumers in claims management, including through digitalisation (conduct)
