DNB maintains ECB AAA curve for Dutch insurers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Today De Nederlandse Bank (DNB) announced that it maintains its existing
alternative interest rate term structure for calculation of the regulatory
Solvency 1 available capital of Dutch insurance companies.
The downgrade of the French state on 12 July 2013 means that French government
bonds are no longer included in the ECB AAA curve, hence led to a change in the
composition of the only alternative interest rate curve Dutch insurers are
allowed to use instead of the DNB swap curve to discount their insurance
liabilities, subject to approval of DNB.
The impact on the IGD ratio for ING Insurance EurAsia is estimated to be 20 to
30 percentage points on the IGD ratio of 304% at the end of June 2013.
