The Italian insurance market would stay solvent even in the face of particularly severe shocks. These are the results of the stress test conducted by the European Insurance Authority. Italy's four largest groups took part in the European exercise: Generali, Intesa Sanpaolo Assicurazioni, Poste Vita, and Unipol. Coverage of the Italian market, including all individual Italian companies involved, reaches 85%. As in the past, the national authority extended the stress test to seven additional Italian insurers with assets exceeding €3 billion to more comprehensively assess the resilience of the national insurance system. The results for all 11 Italian insurance entities "are in line with those of the European sample and indicate that the Italian market would remain solvent even under particularly severe stress scenarios".
