Abstract
In Chapter 1 we give a general introduction to the current solvency discussion. This includes a description of actual solvency guidelines and a discussion why we are interested in solvency. The general agreement then is that the balance sheet of an insurance company should be measured in a consistent way. This in particular motivates the development of a market-consistent valuation approach for insurance liabilities.
