Abstract
The business strategy, the underwriting policy, the investment strategy of insurance companies and some external factors influence their ability to meet liabilities. The risk management mechanism, based on regulatory requirements and the best expertise, should allow to identify and assess all significant risks, including the market risk. The purpose of this research is comparing the European and Russian regulatory requirements for capital calculation for market risks of insurance companies. The methodological base is the comparison analysis of different capital calculation approaches for interest rate, FX, real estate and equity risks in accordance with Solvency II for the European insurers or Regulation 710-P for the Russian insurers. As a result, the author has found the compatibility of regulations to vary depending on the type of the risk in question. Regulations diverge the least when it comes to FX and real estate risks, yet the most in regards to interest rate and equity risks since the Central Bank of Russia has accounted for some national market peculiarities. Overall, the research results have a practical value and could be used by the Russian insurers in transition to the riskoriented regulation.
