Nordic Cooperation

Insurance and Pension Denmark has a long tradition of close cooperation with the trade associations for insurance and pension in the other Nordic countries. Through joint position papers and dialogue with key decision-makers in the EU, the organizations have, over the years, consistently expressed their views on important EU issues, such as digitalisation, Solvency II, sustainability, financing of the future welfare, Recovery and Resolution and better regulation. Not least, in light of the increasingly complex regulatory work on EU matters, it is a strength to be able to advocate for the industry's interests from a shared Nordic perspective. And together, we are stronger. Our common positions have on many occasions, had a significant impact in various contexts.

A Nordic CEO meeting is held annually. The latest meeting took place in January 2026 in Bruxelles. The five Nordic CEOs met with senior officials from the European Commission and Members of the European Parliament. The purpose of the CEO meeting was to promote an open and constructive dialogue on the regulatory frameworks impacting insurance and pension companies in the EU, and in this context, to advance the shared Nordic positions on a number of key areas. Specific topics included digital regulation, the harmonization of national guarantee funds, the European Commission's simplification agenda, as well as the industry's role as a strategic partner in building societal resilience, with a focus on areas such as pensions, welfare, climate adaptation, and risk management in the face of geopolitical challenges. This resulted in a number of valuable relationships and forward-looking dialogues that will influence the ongoing development of EU regulation in the insurance and pension sector.
