EAA Web Session "Setting Up Discount Rates Under IFRS 17: Getting the Job Done"
Announcement from the European Actuarial Academy organiser:
The IFRS 17 regulatory framework requires insurers to define the discount curve with respect to the liquidity characteristics of their liabilities. During this web session, we will review the regulatory requirements and the two main approaches recommended. We will then detail the steps involved in the construction of the IFRS 17 discount curve and highlight the various possible choices. The speakers' research and development work on this topic, coupled with a benchmark vision of market practices, will allow them to present a wide range of available approaches and to describe their advantages and disadvantages from an operational insurance implementation perspective.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 100.00 plus 19% VAT for bookings by 4 January 2022. After this date, the fee will be € 140.00 plus 19% VAT.
