EIOPA launches a web-section dedicated to the Insurance Stress Test 2014

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has
established an area on its website dedicated to the stress test exercise
2014 for the insurance sector.

Stress tests represent one of the regular supervisory tools that help to
assess the resilience of the insurance sector to adverse situations and to
extract valid conclusions to support the stability of the financial
system. The aim of the exercise in 2014 is to test the resilience of
insurers regarding market risk under a combination of historical and
hypothetical scenarios. Additionally, insurance risk will be tested and,
as a follow-up to its Opinion on Supervisory Response to a Prolonged Low
Interest Rate Environment, EIOPA will also include a low yield element in
the exercise.

The web-section (Link:

) also provides information about the timeline and the working process
related to the stress test conduct.
