The provision for annuities is valued in accordance with normal actuarial principles taking anticipated inflation and mortality into consideration, and discounted to take the anticipated future investment return into account. To cover costs for the costs for the upward adjustment of annuity provisions required for the gradual reversal of such discounting, an anticipated return is added to the annuity results. Provisions for incurred but not reported losses pertaining to annuities in Finland are discounted. The provisions in 2015 amounted to EURm 261 (257). The non-discounted value was EURm 351 (388). The exchange effect on the discounted provisions was a decrease of EURm 6. The real increase was EURm 8, explained by the decrease in the discount rate from 2.0 percent to 1.5 percent.
