Insurance and reinsurance undertakings establish prudential technical provisions for all their commitments to policyholders, contract beneficiaries and reinsured undertakings.
The value of prudential technical provisions, assessed in accordance with Article L. 351-1, corresponds to the current amount that undertakings would have to pay if they immediately transferred their commitments to another entity authorised to conduct insurance or reinsurance operations.
Prudential technical provisions are calculated using information provided by the financial markets and generally available data on underwriting risks, consistent with this information and data.
Prudential technical provisions are calculated in a prudent, reliable and objective manner. This calculation may include an equalisation adjustment or a correction for volatility.
