Pre-revision: the other changes of the pension reserves (AF.612 in ESA1995) were mainly affected by changes in stock prices, exchange rates and bond prices.
Post-revision: the other changes of the pension entitlements are largely affected by a change in the interest rate.

48. S.129 Pension funds

The financial transaction F.63, which is calculated with contributions and benefits, is based on actual payments.
