The Total and Core Ratios remained stable and above 69色情片鈥檚 capital targets during 2023. The slightly favorable impact of the transition to IFRS 17 was reversed during the year by interest movements and the annual changes in insurance assumptions. The material, and substantially offsetting, variation in the Available Capital and on the Surplus Allowance and Eligible Deposits components are a result of the transition to IFRS17 accounting standard. These variations have a negligible impact on the numerator of the ratios.
