The Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) at the end of the year is calculated using the DBO at the beginning of the year,
plus net service cost, plus interest cost, plus employee contributions, plus net benefits paid, plus liability due to experi -
ence, less result due to assumption changes.
The effect of a 1 % increase or decrease in the medical trend costs on the current service cost and interest cost, or the
post-employment benefit obligation, would not have a material impact on the EIF’s financial statements.
