    Dear Mike,

    I do not understand the rationale behind the use of pre-tax discount rate in determining the provision amount. Would you mind advising me why?

    And other than provision, should we use pre-tax discount rate as well in discounting the financial assets, like the loan and other receivables?

    Thanks

    Hi Edmund

    We use it because that’s the rate which is specified – it’s not something which I’ve made up and could change next week if I wanted!
