-Current value of future cashflows (PVFCF): present value of future inflow and outflow cash flows weighted by their probability of occurrence.
-Risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA): reflects compensation for the uncertainty of cash flows by quantifying the amount necessary to compensate for unexpected losses in liability flows.
-Contractual service margin (CSM): future benefit to be recognized during the coverage period.

The insurance activity is carried out mainly in the life insurance sector in its life-savings modality. Within the amount of liabilities for insurance contracts, Individual Life Annuities are the product that has the greatest weight in the consolidated balance sheet. This product consists of life annuities where the client contributes a single premium and receives a constant and periodic insured income (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual) until his death where, at that time, the beneficiaries will receive the insured capital of 102% or 101% of the premium contributed.
The income and expenses recorded in the profit and loss account for the insurance activity, including reinsurance income and expenses, are not material in the Group's consolidated annual accounts.
