Corporate Governance, the Approach to Risk and the Insurance Industry under Solvency II, in Solvency II: a dinamic challenge for the insurance market

The book explains how Solvency II, the new prudential regulatory and supervisory framework for insurance, introduced advanced solvency requirements for insurers based on a comprehensive risk assessment, and how it came into effect. As a versatile tool, the book enriches debate between supervisory authorities, industries, policymakers, and academics. The perspective taken considers Solvency II as a point of departure from which to further develop the financial sector regulation. Therefore, the book aims to be not only an operational textbook for the implementation of the current regulation, but also a critical reflection on the legal framework. It makes an important contribution in the field of regulation of the insurance and financial industries.
