EIOPA – study on the modelling of market and credit risk in internal models

EIOPA published the results of its yearly study on the modelling of market and credit risk in internal models (here).

In summary, the study:

  • was run by a joint project group of NCAs and EIOPA, and it provides an up-to-date overview of modelling approaches.
  • covers nearly 100% of Euro investments held by EEA undertakings with approved internal models for market and credit risk.
  • reveals moderate to significant dispersion in some asset model outputs; part of the dispersion is probably attributable to specific models and business specificities.
  • covers the modelling of market and credit risk related to investment instruments. As per previous editions, participants were asked about considering sustainability in their modelling approach.
  • is intended to help further develop supervisory tools and foster common supervisory practices.

EIOPA launched another year-end 2023 survey, which will be published in early 2025 (here).

The secretariat of Insurance Europe will further assess the paper and publish a more detailed assessment if considered relevant.
