This thesis is dedicated to Solvency II, a regulatory framework for insurance and reinsurance companies effective in European Union. Firstly, it explains the notion solvency and also describes the principles of the regulation itself. Another part is focused on the calculation of solvency capital requirement and minimal capital requirement, using standard formula. The capital requirements are derived on the level of risk modules and their submodules. Furthermore, the topic of technical reserves is discussed and emphasis is placed on the derivation of mean square error of prediction. Described methods are Chain-Ladder and Bornhuetter-Ferguson. The last part of the thesis includes the calculation of capital requirements for real data. A program SolvencyII.xlsx that shows particular derivations is enclosed.
