The decrease in the above items is mainly due to the adverse developments in the financial markets. The rise in interest rates had a significant impact on the decrease in investments and on the negative fair value reserve within equity, while the falls in equity markets had the greatest impact on investments and technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk (excluding these provisions, net technical provisions increased by 0.4%).
