INSURANCE CAPITAL STANDARDS (ICS)
The ICS is being developed as a group-wide prescribed capital requirement (PCR) for Global Systemically Important Insurers (G-SIIs), which is a solvency control level above which the supervisor does not intervene on capital adequacy grounds. The ICS is not intended to replace existing arrangements or capital standards for legal entity supervision in any jurisdiction.
