The principle assumptions used by the foreign subsidiary in Indonesia in determining employee benefits liability as of

2018
2017
Discount rate
7.3%
7.8%
Annual salary increase

7.0%
Retirement age

The discount rate is determined based on the values of AA rated corporate bond yields with 3 to 15 years of maturity,
converted to estimated spot rates.
Significant actuarial assumptions for determination of the defined benefit obligation are discount rate and expected
salary increase. The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on changes to individual assumptions, with
all other assumptions held constant.

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in defined benefit obligation as
it is unlikely the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some assumptions may be correlated.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the
previous year.
