5. Sensitivity Analysis<br />

The following table shows the sensitivity of the TEV as at December 31, 2007 and the New<br />

Business Value for 2007 to changes in the various assumptions. The sensitivities have not been<br />

calculated for the insurance subsidiaries in Romania and Croatia. The ANAV of Romania and Croatia<br />

are excluded from the table below.<br />

The key assumption changes represented by each of these sensitivities are as follows:<br />

1% increase in risk discount rate (e.g. a risk discount rate of 6.94% increases to 7.94%)<br />

1% decrease in risk discount rate (e.g. a risk discount rate of 6.94% decreases to 5.94%)<br />

Cost of capital on 110% solvency cover (i.e. the cost of capital is increased by 10%)<br />

10% decrease in level of equity and property values<br />

1% increase in all investment returns (e.g. 5% increases to 6%) allowing for the corresponding<br />

change in the market value of existing fixed interest assets;<br />

1% decrease in all investment returns (e.g. 5% decreases to 4%) allowing for the corresponding<br />

change in the market value of existing fixed interest assets;<br />

10% increase in maintenance expenses (e.g. a base assumption of EUR 40 p.a. increases to<br />

EUR 44 p.a.)<br />

10% reduction in maintenance expenses (e.g. a base assumption of EUR 40 p.a. decreases to<br />

EUR 36 p.a.)<br />

10% decrease in lapse rates (e.g. a base assumption of 4% decreases to 3.6%)<br />

10% increase in lapse rates (e.g. a base assumption of 4% increases to 4.4%)<br />

5% decrease in mortality and morbidity for non annuity products, including the loss ratio for<br />

riders in the central European countries (e.g. if the base mortality is 100% of a particular<br />

mortality rate, this decreases to 95%)<br />

5% decrease in mortality for annuities including the loss ratio for riders in the central European<br />

countries (e.g. if the base mortality is 100% of a particular mortality rate, this decreases to<br />

95%)<br />

In each sensitivity calculation all other assumptions are generally unchanged unless they are<br />

directly linked to the assumption that has been changed. For example, the investment return -1%<br />

sensitivity includes a corresponding reduction to the profit sharing rates.<br />
