What changed

EIOPA has issued revised Guidelines on the Supervisory Review Process, which will become applicable on January 30, 2027. These revisions update the original 2015 guidelines to align with the latest regulatory developments, incorporate new supervisory best practices, and address emerging risks and trends identified since the initial adoption. The revision process included a public consultation launched in July 2025.

Insurers operating within the EU must review and prepare to implement these updated guidelines by the effective date of January 30, 2027. Until then, the 2015 guidelines remain in force. While these are non-binding guidelines, adherence is expected as part of supervisory best practices, and failure to align with updated supervisory expectations could lead to increased scrutiny or supervisory actions.

Description

The initial Guidelines on Supervisory Review Process and were first released in 2015, including 42 guidelines. EIOPA’s review is taking into account the experience of national competent authorities over the past years, as well as feedback from stakeholders following a public consultation launched in July 2025.

The amendments to the Guidelines pursue two key goals: first, to align the existing provisions with the latest regulatory developments and new supervisory best practices; and second, to incorporate new processes to address risks and trends that have emerged since the Guidelines were first adopted in 2015.

The revised Guidelines will become applicable on 30 January 2027. Until then, the Guidelines issued in 2015 are applicable.
