EIOPA Guidelines on Assessing Undertaking Resolvability

EIOPA has issued final guidelines detailing the criteria and matters for assessing the resolvability of insurance undertakings and groups within the EU. These guidelines, effective February 16, 2026, elaborate on the assessment of resolution strategies, focusing on their feasibility and credibility in line with the Insurance Recovery and Resolution Directive (IRRD).

Insurance undertakings and groups operating in the EU must review these guidelines to ensure their internal processes and strategies align with EIOPA's specified criteria for resolvability. While these are guidelines and not directly binding regulations, they are crucial for demonstrating compliance and preparedness for potential resolution scenarios. Compliance officers should familiarize themselves with the detailed requirements to ensure their firms are adequately prepared and to inform any necessary updates to internal policies and procedures.
