Actuarial assumptions
The principal actuarial weighted average assumptions used for determining the dened benet obligation:
%2015 2014
Discount rate for determining present values 3.0 2.6
Annual rate of increase in future compensation levels 2.6 1.9
Pension growth rate 1.3 1.4
Ination rate 1.4 1.6
Assumptions regarding future mortality are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics and experience in each country.
The discount rates and mortality tables used for the signicant plans:
2015 2014 2015
Discount rate % Mortality table
Germany 2.5 2.0 Richttafeln 2005 G
United Kingdom 3.6 3.5 S2PA table adjusted(1)
India 7.8 7.9 IALM (2006-08)
Switzerland 0.7 0.9 BVG2010G
Total weighted average for all countries 3.0 2.6
(1) Tables are adjusted down by one year for males and down by three years for females.
The sensitivity of the dened benet obligation to changes in the principal assumptions:
Change in assumption
Increase in assumption(1)
EURm
Decrease in assumption(1)
EURm
Discount rate for determining present values 1.0% 235 (299)
Annual rate of increase in future compensation levels 1.0% (43) 36
Pension growth rate 1.0% (169) 165
Ination rate 1.0% (192) 186
Life expectancy 1 year (54) 54
(1) Positive movement indicates a reduction in the dened benet obligation; a negative movement indicates an increase in the dened benet obligation.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant and may not be representative
of the actual impact of changes. If more than one assumption is changed simultaneously, the combined impact of changes would not necessarily
be the same as the sum of the individual changes. If the assumptions change to a dierent level compared with that presented above, the eect
on the dened benet obligation may not be linear. The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses are the
same as in the previous period.
When calculating the sensitivity of the dened benet obligation to signicant actuarial assumptions, the same method has been applied
aswhen calculating the post-employment benet obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of nancial position; specically, the
present value of the dened benet obligation is calculated with the projected unit credit method. Increases and decreases in the discount rate,
rate of increase in future compensation levels, pension growth rate and ination, which are used in determining the dened benet obligation,
do not have a symmetrical eect on the dened benet obligation primarily due to the compound interest eect created when determining the
net present value of the future benet.
