Since 27 November, the Central Bank’s Solvency II Information Notes 1, 3 and 4 on applications for approval of certain items specified in Article 308a of the Solvency II Directive have been replaced by the seven pieces of Guidance. The new pieces are Guidance on Applications for the Approval of:
- Ancillary Own Funds;
- Basic Own Funds & Capital Contributions;
- Matching Adjustments;
- Volatility Adjustments;
- Transitional Risk Free Interest Rates;
- Transitional Technical Provisions; and
