The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has published its second Discussion Paper on Methodological Principles of Insurance Stress Testing.

The Paper is structured in three sections addressing the stress test framework on climate change; approach to liquidity stress testing; and multi-period framework for the bottom-up insurance stress testing.

The Discussion Paper is part of a broader process to enhance EIOPA’s stress testing framework. In this context, EIOPA will work on specific stress testing related topics such as the assessment of liquidity positions under adverse scenarios, assessment of the vulnerabilities towards climate-related risks and potential approaches to multi-period stress tests.

EIOPA invites stakeholders to provide feedback to be considered in the final paper. To this aim, it contains a series of questions to collect feedback particularly on technical topics linked to key elements of insurance stress testing.

The Discussion Paper is open for comments until Friday, 2 October 2020. Stakeholders are invited to submit their feedback via email by using the provided template. Contributions should be sent to the following email address: eiopa.stress.test@eiopa.europa.eu
