This document contains examples and explanatory text aimed to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the Insurance Capital Standard (ICS). Its content originates from the 2024 ICS data collection technical specifications, and should be read in conjunction with the ICS Level 1 and Level 2 texts. To facilitate that joint reading, the numbering of sections and subsections of this document follows the same structure as the ICS Level 1 and Level 2 texts.
Public consultation feedback is invited by 27 June 2024 on draft revisions to supervisory material related to the Holistic Framework in ICPs 12 and 16 and related ComFrame standards, including on recovery, resolution and liquidity risk and counterparty risk management.
The ICS provides a globally comparable risk-based measure of capital adequacy specifically tailored to internationally active insurance groups and forms the quantitative element of ComFrame. The specifics of the ICS have been adopted in two documents, the Level 1 document, setting out the overarching principles and concepts of the ICS, and the Level 2 document providing detailed specifications.
Public consultation feedback is invited by 28 October 2024 on part four of the public consultation on climate risk supervisory guidance, which includes material on supervisory reporting, public disclosures, macroprudential supervision and group-wide supervision.
