Abstract
The capital requirement at insurance companies is a constant in the world. In Europe, this process has been done across Solvency II. Switzerland has carried out its own tests. USA also has seen the need to check its requirements based on the risk with the Initiative of Modernization of Solvency developed in 2013 by the NAIC. The aim of this paper is to check how they are affecting the new regulations of solvency on the principal markets. A comparison is contributed between them, as well as including the new one and the former existing situation in the USA
