This update concerns prudential reporting requirements for insurance and reinsurance entities under Solvency II, which is a capital and governance regime unrelated to payment services or payment institution regulation.
While insurance mediation is the closest available tag, this update is fundamentally about prudential supervision and capital requirements for insurers, not payment handling or intermediation of insurance products.
Specialism
The instruction mandates annual prudential documentation submission for Solvency II entities, which relates to regulatory reporting obligations, though the content is primarily procedural and administrative rather than substantive regulatory change.
Low confidence — requires human review. While Solvency II establishes capital requirements, this instruction focuses on documentation procedures rather than substantive prudential standards, and the entities regulated are insurance/reinsurance undertakings rather than payment service providers.

TITLE: France's Prudential Control and Resolution Authority Issues Annual Prudential Documentation Instruction for Solvency II Entities
BODY:
On July 20, 2026, the Prudential Control and Resolution Authority (ACPR) issued Instruction No. 2026-I-10 regarding annual prudential documents that must be submitted by entities subject to ACPR supervision operating under the Solvency II regime.
This instruction establishes the requirements for regulated entities to communicate specific prudential documentation on an annual basis. The instruction supersedes Instruction No. 2025-I-02, representing an update to the ACPR's prudential reporting framework for insurance and reinsurance undertakings subject to Solvency II requirements. The Solvency II regime establishes harmonised capital and governance requirements for insurance and reinsurance entities across the European Union, and this instruction operationalises those requirements within the French regulatory framework.
The instruction is accompanied by three annexes providing detailed specifications and templates for compliance. Annex A provides technical specifications in spreadsheet format, Annex B contains supplementary documentation requirements, and Annex C includes additional reporting templates. These supporting materials clarify the scope and format of documentation that regulated entities must prepare and submit to the ACPR.
Entities subject to ACPR supervision under Solvency II must ensure compliance with the requirements outlined in Instruction No. 2026-I-10 and its annexes. The instruction took effect on July 20, 2026, and supersedes all prior guidance contained in Instruction No. 2025-I-02. Regulated entities should review the full instruction and accompanying annexes to understand specific documentation requirements and submission procedures applicable to their operations.
