The forthcoming regulatory changes brought about by Solvency II reforms will create new opportunities for European insurers. The 2027 Solvency II reforms do more than reduce capital requirements for some asset classes; they also reduce some of the constraints that have prevented insurers from making certain investments for practical reasons.
