🏗️ '''One number hides the story.''' Under the old rules, many insurers reported their insurance [[Definition:Reserves|reserves]] as a single lump sum on the [[Definition:Balance sheet|balance sheet]]. Imagine you see a line that reads "insurance liabilities: €800 million." What does that number actually contain? Is it mostly expected future claims? Does it include a cushion for uncertainty? Is there unearned [[Definition:Profit|profit]] buried inside? With a single figure, there is no way to tell. This is the core problem IFRS 17 set out to fix: not just to measure the liability differently, but to break it open so that every reader of the [[Definition:Financial statements|financial statements]] can see exactly what is inside.
