EIOPA statement on ORSA in the context of COVID-19

EIOPA published a supervisory statement on ORSA in the context of COVID-19 pandemic.

Given that COVID-19 pandemic has already its impact on undertakings, EIOPA expects that most of them have captured such a scenario in their ORSA by now. For instance, some national supervisory authorities have also already issued guidance to reflect the pandemic situation in the ORSA.

In particular, the statement:

  • guides undertakings through supervisory expectations under the current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, while taking into account that the impact on each individual undertaking can differ depending on its specific risk profile.
  • specifically addresses the pandemic situation, however the recommendations are applicable to any similar situation with the necessary adaptations.
  • is accompanied with the resolution of comments from the public consultation, the feedback statement to stakeholders and the impact assessment developed based on the input provided during the consultation period.
