This announcement marks a key milestone in the IFRS 17 journey that has mobilized our Finance teams across the Group for the last few years. We expect limited impacts overall, including on our Shareholders’ Equity and on the Group’s underlying earnings power, which reflect our business model, primarily oriented towards technical and fee-based lines. We would like to thank all our colleagues who took part in this project for their unwavering commitment through the past years.
