The report draws out the areas of the regulations which have become clearer since the 2014 report was produced (for example the matching adjustment and the volatility adjustment) and also highlights how practices have changed since 2014 (for example the methods used to determine the capital stresses and size of the stresses assumed).

Key findings from the survey touch on a number of different areas including:

1. Reporting;
2. Modelling practices;
3. IMAP; and
4. Treatment of Sovereign debt.

The survey will, as always, be refreshed during 2016 with the results to be published during the second half of the year.
