contracts. In particular, the paper focuses on the use of an approach to estimate risk margins that:

  • Recognizes risk and uncertainty in the amount and timing of future payments needed to satisfy insurance liabilities;
  • Reflects an objective assessment and measurement of risk for insurance liabilities and the price of risk in terms of the amount an insurer would rationally pay to be relieved of the insurance contract obligations that underlie such liabilities; and
  • Provides useful financial information for users of IFRS financial statements.
