  • A New EDHEC Study Shows That LTGA Calibration Continues To Favour Short-Duration Bonds And Could Undermine The Financial Stability And Financing Of Both Sovereigns And Corporates

    Date 12/11/2013

    Discussions on the Omnibus II Directive have been in deadlock since July 2012. The main points of contention relate to the integration of ALM mechanisms into the standard formula. Their omission from the QIS5 impact study led to increased artificial volatility of prudential balance sheets and consequently to regulatory capital requirements that are sometimes overestimated. The aim of the Long-Term Guarantees Assessment (LTGA), conducted in the first semester of 2013, was to test a variety of measures which aim to integrate ALM mechanisms into long-term insurance activities, (life insurance, pensions, liability insurance, etc.). These measures relate to the valuation of insurance liabilities (extrapolation of long-term rates, implementation of a counter-cyclical premium and a matching adjustment) as well as to new risk calibrations, particularly that of spread risk.
