Funding ratio January 2023

The (actual) funding ratio at the end of 2022 has been adjusted to 115.2%. The reason for the adjustment is the update of the value of the investments at the end of 2022. In the past month the (actual) funding ratio rose: from 115.2% to 116.0%. As the return on investments was positive, the invested capital increased. Interest rates fell in January, which caused an increase in provisions. On balance, this caused a slight increase in the funding ratio. Provisions refer to the money that the pension fund has to reserve in order to be able to pay out all pensions in the future.
