The growth of the life insurance segment encourages the state supervisory authority for the activities of insurance business entities to create conditions for its sustainable development, including through the introduction of a risk-based approach to the regulation and supervision of insurance companies –the Solvency II Directive. The Solvency II Directive is similar in concept to the risk-based approach to Bank regulation and supervision (Basel II). The expected results of its introduction are an adequateand comprehensive assessment of the risks of the insurance company's activities, compliance of the amount of capital with the level and profile of risks taken, as well as transparency and special rules for disclosure of information about its activities. Increasing growth rates in the insurance market and prospects for increasing the level of supervision by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation require life insurance companies to implement practical methods for assessing their capital, which are based on the most accurate assessment of their risks
