(b): MVAL_i denotes the value in accordance with Article 75 of Directive 2009/138/EC of assets less liabilities other than technical provisions for maturity interval i;
(c): dur_i denotes the simplified duration of maturity interval i;
(d): rate_i denotes the relevant risk-free rate for the simplified duration of maturity interval i;
(e): stress_(i,up) denotes the relative upward stress of interest rate for simplified duration of maturity interval i;
(f): the second sum covers all lines of business set out in Annex I of this Regulation;
(g): BE_lob denotes the best estimate for line of business lob;
(h): dur_lob denotes the modified duration of the best estimate in line of business lob;
(i): rate_lob denotes the relevant risk-free rate for modified duration in line of business lob;

(d): rate_i denotes the relevant risk-free rate for the simplified duration of maturity interval i;
(e): stress_(i,down) denotes the relative downward stress of interest rate for simplified duration of maturity interval i;
(f): the second sum covers all lines of business set out in Annex I of this Regulation;
(g): BE_lob denotes the best estimate for line of business lob;
(h): dur_lob denotes the modified duration of the best estimate in line of business lob;
