Eiopa widens stress test to include more carriers

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (Eiopa)
has today (24 May) launched an EU-wide stress test, which will
include a larger number of small and medium-sized insurers.
The EU watchdog increased the participation target from a 50
percent share of each national market in terms of gross life
technical provisions to a 75 percent share.
Eiopa said that the launch date for the exercise was brought
forward by a week to allow participating insurance companies more
time to complete.
