AXA urges Solvency II reforms to unlock investment capacity

5 Sept 2025
Message — AXA requests technical adjustments to valuation formulas to correctly reflect market impacts and prevent locking up capital. They propose treating expected future profits as available funds and ensuring no double counting of risks in calculations.123
Why — These adjustments would lower regulatory capital burdens and increase the group's overall investment capacity.4

AXA urges EU to prioritize insurance and pension products

8 Jul 2025
Message — AXA recommends prioritizing occupational pension products and insurance-based solutions to mobilize long-term capital. They argue for national subsidiarity over one-size-fits-all models and demand a stable prudential framework. Finally, they call for finalizing Solvency II rules to reduce unnecessary constraints on risk-taking.123
Why — This would allow insurers to deploy more capital by reducing strict capital requirements and regulatory volatility.45
Impact — Banking institutions may lose liquidity as savings shift from short-term deposit accounts to insurance-based investments.6

AXA urges EU to delay structural finance disclosure changes

29 May 2025
Message — AXA suggests delaying major changes to ensure coherence with other reporting laws. They want to keep existing categories while removing specific references to the Taxonomy.123
Why — This prevents expensive updates to technical systems and marketing documents.4
Impact — Mid-sized companies risk losing investment as they fall out of reporting scopes.5

AXA urges removal of mandatory Taxonomy performance indicators

26 Mar 2025
Message — AXA calls for removing mandatory underwriting and investment indicators or making them voluntary. They argue the Taxonomy was not intended to be used as a reporting tool.12
Why — Removing these indicators would prevent a misleading representation of the insurer's actual sustainability contributions.34
Impact — Large financial institutions face higher costs and poor data quality if SME exemptions are implemented.5
