The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) has published a statement on principles that national competent authorities should consider to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the occupational pensions sector.

The principles are

  • business continuity and operational risks

  • communication

EIOPA will continue to pursue close collaborations with national authorities to evaluate and mitigate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the insurance and occupational pensions sector.
