Solvency II: Top results in the stability check
The strict financial stability framework Solvency II was introduced across Europe to protect insurance policy holders as part of the new EU finance oversight architecture. Companies are especially required to prove the equity capital that allows them to comply in the long run with the contracts they have entered into. DEVK exceeds all requirements under Solvency II. Our capital cover ratio stood at 284 percent as of December 31, 2016. That makes DEVK a financially sound, stable partner.
