The changes that relate to current service in 2023 of £41m (2022: £30m) are explained in note 4. The value of contracts initially recognised in the year are explained in note 26(e).

The change in estimates that adjust the CSM recognised in the estimate of present value of future cash flows and risk adjustment in 2023 of £(200)m and £64m respectively represent the reinsurers’ share of the equivalent gross changes of £292m and £(89)m respectively explained in note 26(cii). Net finance income from reinsurance contracts of £108m (2022: £91m expenses) reflect the impact of changes in discount rates and unwinding of discounting. Accretion of the reinsurance CSM was £12m in 2023 compared with £6m in 2022, with the increase reflecting an additional year’s cohort and the upwards shape of the yield curve applying to the in-force business, as noted earlier for gross business.
