Say, I'm an insurer and I've placed a deposit in Bank X. Which category does the default risk of the Bank X fall in in the context of Solvency 2? There're are 2 types of CDR in Solvency 2: type 1 and type 2. I looked at both of them, and don't realize in which type this kind of risk falls?

Hi,

Cash at bank is a type 1 exposure for standard formula purposes.
 
If it’s available to withdraw immediately without penalty it’s probably “cash at bank” so type 1, as mugono says.

If it’s something like a term deposit though, it’ll actually come under market risk as a loan, so will get concentration risk, spread risk, and so on.
