Discussion of updated solvency requirements for insurers has begun

The National Bank of Ukraine has published updated requirements for insurers' solvency and investment activities for discussion.

The relevant draft was developed with the aim of bringing the current regulations into line with the Law of Ukraine “On Rating”. The document, which will come into force on January 1, 2026, provides for the possibility of using public credit ratings in Ukraine determined by rating agencies based in foreign jurisdictions. The use of foreign ratings will be possible after their confirmation by an authorized rating agency.
The draft also provides for a one-year transition period for the application of existing ratings of securities issuers. Certain provisions of the document have been clarified to ensure their clear and unambiguous application in practice.

The regulator is accepting comments and proposals on the draft in the established form until December 5, 2025.
