Abstract
Solvency II required many years and a lot of discussions to acquire its present form. The final text was also heavily influenced by the financial crisis. This chapter looks at key aspects of the negotation of Solvency II. It then looks at the implementation of the new risk based solvency framework. It concludes by looking at likely future developments.
