Strategy - Navigating Solvency II Reform - Inside Insurance
Solvency II reform: a compliance exercise, or a strategic opportunity?
As insurers prepare for the amending directive to apply from 30 January 2027, attention is increasingly turning from the detail of individual changes to what the reforms mean collectively for strategy, capital and decision-making.
In the latest episode of KPMG Ireland’s Inside Insurance series, Clara McDonald, Lukas Ehlers and Himanshu Sikri bring together the topics covered across the series to date, taking a holistic look across all three Solvency II pillars and considering the strategic implications of the changes.
From the potential capital released through the risk margin changes to the Volatility Adjustment, SCR, ORSA, proportionality and Pillar 3 reporting, we discuss what the reforms could mean for both life and non-life insurers.

LRMPs - Navigating Solvency II Reform - Inside Insurance
In our latest Inside Insurance – Navigating Solvency II Reform video, Eoin King, Órlaith Lehane and Ogochukwu Nkado discuss one of the key new Pillar 2 requirements being introduced under the Solvency II Review – Liquidity Risk Management Plans (LRMPs).
The session explores why liquidity has become an increasing regulatory focus, what insurers will be required to do from January 2027, and some of the practical implementation challenges firms are likely to face, including cash-flow projections, liquidity stress testing, governance, liquidity indicators and management actions.
While many insurers may already have some of the building blocks in place through existing ORSA and Recovery Plan processes, LRMPs bring these elements together into a more structured and evidence-based framework. With implementation approaching, now is a good time for insurers to assess readiness and identify any gaps in their current liquidity risk management capabilities.
