Abstract
The first part of this chapter deals with the necessity to set aside free reserves and technical provisions. In the second part, the methods of calculation and estimation applied to determine the size of the technical provisions will be examined. The determination of the actual amounts of the free reserves will be discussed within the context of the solvency problems (see Chapters 18 and 19).
