            Each year an Asset-Liability-Matching study is performed in which the consequences of the strategic investment policies are analysed in
            terms of risk-and-return profiles. Investment and contribution policies are integrated within this study.

            (v)  Risk Exposure :
                Through its defined benefit plans, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below :
             Investment risk:    If future investment returns on assets are lower than assumed in valuation, the scheme's assets will be lower,
                                 and the funding level higher than expected.
             Changes in bond yields:  A decrease in yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the
                                 value of the plans' bond holdings.
             Longevity risk:     If improvements in life expectancy are greater than assumed, the cost of benefits will increase because
                                 pensions are paid for longer than expected. This will mean that the funding level will be higher than
                                 expected.
             Inflation risk:     If inflation is greater than assumed, the cost of benefits will increase as pension increases and deferred
                                 revaluations are linked to inflation.
