Hi
I’m hoping someone can explain what is the difference between unlocking the CSM(discount rate) and adjusting the CSM for non economic assumptions.

thanks
 
Hi, to unlock the CSM means that it is adjusted to absorb changes in the fulfilment cash flows - this prevents those changes from being recognized immediately in the profit and loss. The CSM can be unlocked, among other things, to absorb the impact of non-economic assumption change (both GMM and VFA) or discount rates change (VFA only). So I think 'unlocking' and 'adjusting' the CSM is the same thing, the main point in the manual is that you'd do it differently depending on the model, is GMM or VFA

Thanks that what I thought but wondered why the core reading randomly used different terminology to explain the same thing.
