EIOPA will organise a workshop for stakeholders as part of the process of drafting technical advice to the European Commission
EIOPA received a request from the European Commission to provide technical advice on the review of the standard formula. As part of its work EIOPA is exploring the following two areas:
- Possible mechanisms and criteria for the identification of debt without a rating by an External Credit Assessment Institution that could be treated as debt with a credit quality step of 1, 2 or 3.
- Possible mechanisms and criteria for the identification of unlisted equities that could receive the type 1 equity risk charge.
In order to gather information EIOPA issued a Call for Evidence on 26 April 2017.
The workshop will allow for a discussion with stakeholders on the responses to the Call for Evidence as well as the analysis EIOPA has performed so far. It will also provide the opportunity to collect further ideas and input.
The workshop is addressed to professionals with technical expertise or involved in the risk assessment and investment decisions for unrated debt or unlisted equities.
The participation of experts from (smaller) insurers is particularly welcome. For unrated debt, expertise in the assignment of a risk assessment to individual credit exposures or portfolios of credit exposures would be particularly useful.
Potential participants are requested to provide a short description of their relevant expertise when filling in the registration form.
The workshop will take place between 10.00 and 16.30 CET at the EIOPA premises.
Details of the programme will be published in due course.
In the meantime, should you have any questions, please contact EIOPA's events team at training&events@eiopa.europa.eu
