The calculation of the symmetric adjustment based on the behaviour of an equity index built by EIOPA exclusively for that purpose. The legal requirements on the determination of the symmetric adjustment and of the EIOPA equity index are set out in the Directive 2009/138/EC (as amended by Directive 2014/51/EU), the Implementing Measures of that Directive, and also in the Implementing Technical Standard on the EIOPA equity index.​

Extraordinary EDA calculations

During the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, EIOPA carried out  extraordinary calculations in the period 24 March - 15 September 2020 to monitor the evolution of the symmetric adjustment to equity risk (ED) and to support insurance and reinsurance undertakings in the monitoring of their solvency and financial position.
