European insurers are optimistic about their level of preparation for Solvency II which will come into effect on 1 January 2016. According to a study conducted in the fall of 2013 by the auditing and consulting firm EY (Ernst & Young) with 170 insurers spread over 20 European countries and published in April, 79% of them will be in conformity with the requirements of the new standards at the set deadline.

All insurers generally feel well prepared with regard to pillar 1 pertaining to quantitative requirements. Regarding the second pillar, related to governance and ORSA (Own Risk and Solvency Assessment), 80% of the companies claim they can make progress.
More than 30 % of insurers have no tool for the assessment of their risk management quality. Only 20 % claim to be fully prepared. Finally, more than two thirds of those polled have admitted their inability to meet the requirements of pillar 3 (reporting).
