Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to introduce and address the main issues that are discussed in each chapter of this manuscript. This chapter has five goals: identifying the main’ solvency II drivers’ and the main characteristics of the European insurance industry; introducing the risk-based approach to derive the new capital requirement for European insurers; describing the main ways in which control can be exercised within the insurer’s risk management framework by the insurer itself, and on the insurer by the supervisor according to a risk-based approach; identifying the market discipline process and the role of supervision under the Solvency II Directive; presenting the approach to disclosure consistent with the Solvency II third pillar requirements.
