Financial statements Notes to the Group nancial statements
31. Post-employment benefit plans and related risks continued
(d) Related risks
Through its defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement medical benefits plan, the Group is exposed to a number of risks that
are inherent in such plans and arrangements, which can be summarised as follows:
asset value volatility, with the associated impact on the assets held in connection with the funding of pension obligations and the
related cash flows;
changes in bond yields, with any reduction resulting in an increase in the present value of pension obligations, mitigated by an
increase in the value of plan assets;
inflation, as pension obligations are generally linked to inflation and the prevailing rate of inflation experienced for medical
benefits is typically higher than other inflation measures in the UK; and
life expectancy, as pension and medical benefits are generally provided for the life of beneficiaries and their dependants.
There are no unusual, entity-specific or plan-specific risks, and no significant concentrations of risk.
