hi, for sh profits in case of w/o profits business it says: + the release of supervisory reserves. however there is an exercise (18.3) where it deducts the increase in reserves. is it the same from a different point of view?
Hi Yes, it's the same thing from different point of view. Imagine supervisory reserves change from 12 to 10 over a time period. This is a release of 2. It's also an increase of -2. So, + the release of supervisory reserves = - the increase in reserves. Lynn
