1 The discount rate for each country is determined by reference to market yields on
high-quality corporate bonds. In countries where there is no functioning market in
such bonds, the market yields on government bonds are used. The discount rate
for the Swedish pension obligation is determined by reference to mortgage bonds.
2 For all plans except one the discount rate used is within the range 3.75–4.75
(3.003.75).

The analysis below presents the sensitivity on the defi ned benefi t obliga-
tions when changes in the applied assumptions for dicount rate and infl a-
tion are made. The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assump-
tion while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is not
probable, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.
