* Market conditions had a favorable impact on CSM (EUR +0.6bn), mainly from tightening government spreads and positive equity market performance.
* These positive impacts on CSM were more than offset by unfavorable [[Definition:Foreign exchange|foreign exchange]] impacts (EUR -1.5bn), mainly from the depreciation of JPY and HKD, and a negative operating variance (EUR -0.3bn) due to a reduction in the duration of Group Life business in Switzerland despite better margins and net flows.
