Recital 15

Recital 15

(15)For both life and non-life undertakings, supervisory intervention can be triggered by three different thresholds, defined as different ‘Solvency Margin Ratios’ (SRM), expressed as a ratio of double the own funds divided by a capital requirement named the ‘Total Risk’. The ‘Total Risk’ metric covers underwriting risks, interest rate and market risks, operational risk and the catastrophe risk. Internal models are accepted for catastrophe and minimum guarantee risks. The JFSA has the power to impose certain remedial measures even if the highest threshold for supervisory intervention (SRM above 200 %) is not breached, for instance by requiring insurers to adopt measures in order to improve their profitability, credit risk, stability or liquidity risk. When the SRM is below 0 %, the JFSA may order the total or partial suspension of the business.
