Briefings

Following the revision of Solvency II, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) launched a regulatory simplification initiative in September 2026, aiming to reduce administrative costs by 26% for individual companies and 36% for small entities. The new Small and Non-Complex Undertakings (SNCUs) framework, introduced in April 2026, adjusts requirements based on risk and complexity. Implementation begins in January 2027, with a critical focus on balancing regulatory costs against the supervisory capacity required to manage the simplified system effectively.
