used may differ materially from actual results due to, among others, changing market and economic conditions, or changes in service period of plan participants. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in assumptions may affect the future amounts of the defined benefit obligation and future expense.
Key estimates and judgements
Accounting policies
Several actuarial assumptions are used in calculating the expense and liability related to the defined benefit plans. Statistical information
Defined benefit pension plans Plan benefits depend on salary and length of service. The defined benefit obligations are calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the term of the related pension liability. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The cost of providing pensions is charged to the income statement as employee costs so as to spread the cost over the service lives of employees. Changes in actuarial assumptions and actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments are charged or credited in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past service costs and gains or losses on settlement are recognised immediately in income when they occur. Defined contribution plans For defined contribution plans, contributions are paid to pension insurance companies. Once the contributions have been paid, there are no further payment obligations. Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement in the period to which the contributions relate. Other post-employment obligations Some group companies provide post-employment medical and other benefits to their retirees. The entitlement to healthcare benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment, using an accounting methodology similar to that for defined benefit pension plans. Valuations of these obligations are carried out by independent qualified actuaries.
Actuarial assumptions The weighted average principal assumptions used in the valuations of the defined benefit obligations are detailed below:

Sensitivity analysis of defined benefit obligations The sensitivity analysis shows the effect of the change in assumption. The analysis assume that all other assumptions remain unchanged. The projected unit credit method has been applied when calculating the obligation as well as these sensitivities.
