The three life insurers hold nearly two thirds of the technical reserves of the life insurance market.
The stress test conducted by the EIOPA aims to assess the resilience of the insurance sector to potential adverse market developments and to extract valid conclusions to support the stability of the financial system.
The assessment will be carried out both by companies, individually, and by the EIOPA.
The insurers participating in the stress test are obliged to submit the results to the ASF until July 15, while the results on a European level will be released at the end of 2016.
