European insurers are exposed to French sovereign risk the most of any country, data released by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (Eiopa) shows.

At end-2017, 23% of all government bonds held by European insurers were issued by the French government. Italian sovereign debt made up 18% of holdings, UK gilts 10%, and German bunds 10%.

Exposures to peripheral eurozone countries – Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain – made up 29% of all government holdings.
