Article 46U.K.Extrapolation
1.The principles applied when extrapolating the relevant risk free interest rate term structure shall be the same for all currencies. This shall also apply as regards the determination of the longest maturities for which interest rates can be observed in a deep, liquid and transparent market and the mechanism to ensure a smooth convergence to the ultimate forward rate.
2.Where insurance and reinsurance undertakings apply Article 77d of Directive 2009/138/EC, the extrapolation shall be applied to the risk-free interest rates including the volatility adjustment referred to in that Article.
3.Where insurance and reinsurance undertakings apply [F1a matching adjustment], the extrapolation shall be based on the risk-free interest rates without a matching adjustment. The matching adjustment F2... shall be applied to the extrapolated risk-free interest rates.
