Euro Area Policies: Financial Sector Assessment Program-Technical Note-Insurance, Investment Firm, and Macroprudential Oversight, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2018) accessed November 21, 2024

Summary

While national authorities are still largely responsible for supervising the nonbank sector and applying the macroprudential framework, European Union (EU)-level organizations’ supervisory role is growing. Further convergence and strengthening of supervision of insurers and investment firms is consistent with the goals of an EU single market and financial stability. The macroprudential framework functions well but could be simplified and expanded to cover aspects of the nonbank sector.
