Solvency II translation and pronunciation across the EU

Solvency II in the 27 EU countries, with a link to the relevant regulator*.

The EC has a number of handy translation tools: a bilingual display of the Directive text on EUR-Lex site, an interactive terminology translation tool and a translation resource page.

*As I am not a native speaker of these languages please send me any corrections or more common usages of the term.

  1. As from 1 April 2011, supervision of the Belgian financial sector has been reorganized. Henceforth, prudential supervision of financial institutions falls within the competence of the National Bank of Belgium. The CBFA doesn’t exist anymore, and has been replaced by the FSMA (Financial Services and Markets Authority).

      1. Sorry, there is a mistake : the Belgian prudential supervisor is the National Bank of Belgium, which is going to deal with Solvency II.
        FSMA is the markets authority.
        Kind regards
