EIOPA report on the impact of IFRS 17 in the insurance sector
22 Apr 2024
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has released a report examining the implementation of IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' in the EU. The report evaluates the adoption of IFRS 17 by insurance undertakings and compares the calculation of insurance liabilities under IFRS 17 with the Solvency II framework.
The study reveals that insurers have utilised all three transition approaches offered by IFRS 17 to a similar extent, with differences observed in valuation methods based on the type of insurance contract. Despite similarities, IFRS 17 and Solvency II differ in several aspects, including valuation methods, discount rates, and risk adjustments.
For further details, please see the full report and a factsheet on EIOPA’s website.
