Savings and investments union: Commission adopts new measures to support equity investments by insurers and banks

The Commission has adopted two measures to support the essential role institutional investors, such as banks and insurers, play in the financing the EU economy:

• a Delegated Act under Solvency II, the regulatory framework for insurers
• a Communication on the prudential treatment of equity investments by banks under legislative programmes

The measures deliver on the roadmap set out in the Savings and Investments Union (SIU) strategy and contribute to the EU’s broader objectives of supporting private investment, improving capital market integration, and strengthening Europe’s long term competitiveness, for the benefit of EU businesses and households.
