EIOPA re-publishes the monthly technical information on the Icelandic Kruna (ISK) and updates the Solvency II relevant risk-free interest rate term structures-end-May 2019

Following the publication on 6 June 2019 of the end-May 2019 risk-free-rate technical information, the Icelandic Kruna (ISK) government bond yields used for calculating the relevant risk-free interest rate term structures were incorrect.

Therefore, EIOPA recalculated the risk-free interest rate term structures for the ISK to ensure that insurance and reinsurance undertakings can base their calculation of technical provisions on the correct technical information.

The technical information related to all other currencies remains unchanged.

This RFR information has been calculated on the basis of the last updated documents published on EIOPA’s website.

All documents are available here.
