Q&A

Question ID: 2432

Regulation Reference: (EU) No 2015/35 - supplementing Dir 2009/138/EC - taking up & pursuit of the business of Insurance and Reinsurance (SII)

Topic: Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR)

Article: 180(2)

Status: Rejected

Date of submission: 05 May 2022

Question

Article 180 (2) states in the last section that certain guaranteed exposures shall be assigned a risk factor stress of 0%. Contrary to 180 (2b) it seems not required that the exposure is denominated in the currency of the counterparty mentioned in a)-d). So for example: a Polish government bond denominated in EUR would not be risk free, but if some EUR bond issued by a Polish company is guaranteed by the Polish government, this would be risk free. Is this interpretation correct?

EIOPA answer
