Crediseguro Seguros Personales		96		-
Net carrying amount		635,975		636,149

The recoverable amount of all of the CGUs has been determined based on the calculations of the fair value less selling costs, which is the present value of the discounted cash flows determined principally with assumptions of projection of revenue and expenses (based on efficiency ratios).

Balances of goodwill from Inversiones IMT and Credicorp Capital Colombia are impacted by the volatility of the exchange rate of the local currency of the countries in which they operate against the exchange rate of Grupo Credicorp’s functional currency.

The following table summarizes the key assumptions used for the calculation of fair value less selling costs in 2017 and 2016:

	At December 31, 2017
Description	Terminal value growth rate		Discount rate
	%		%

Mibanco - Edyficar Perú		3.00	12.43
Prima AFP – AFP Unión Vida		1.00	9.41
Credicorp Capital Colombia		3.80	12.63
Banco de Crédito del Perú		5.00	11.46
Inversiones IMT		5.25	11.72
Pacífico Seguros (*)		5.00	11.24 and 12.38
Atlantic Security Holding Corporation		2.00	10.31

(*)

As of December 31, 2017, corresponds to the discount rates used by the Group to determine the recoverable value for the non-life and life insurance business lines cash flows that comprised this CGU as a result of the merger, See Note 2(a).

	At December 31, 2016
Description	Terminal value growth rate		Discount rate
	%		%

Mibanco - Edyficar Perú		3.00		12.48
Prima AFP - AFP Unión Vida		1.20		8.73
Credicorp Capital Colombia		3.80		13.44
Banco de Crédito del Perú		5.00		12.48
Inversiones IMT		5.25		12.41
Pacífico Seguros		5.00		11.66
Atlantic Security Holding Corporation		2.00		11.17

Five or ten years of cash flows, depending on the business maturity, were included in the discounted cash flow model. The growth rate estimates are based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development. A long-term growth rate to perpetuity has been determined taking into account forecasts included in industry reports.

Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU. The discount rate is derived from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors, specific risk incorporated by applying individual comparable beta factors adjusted by the debt structure of each CGU and country and market risk specific premiums to each CGU. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data.

During the year 2015, the Group recorded a gross impairment loss amounting to S/82.4 million (S/0.1 million during the year 2016), as a result of the assessment of the recoverable amount of the CGU “Inversiones IMT”, amounting to S/234.3 million, decreasing in relation to prior years due to the lower revenues generated compared to those originally budgeted by Management and for the changes expected in the payment of taxes attributable to the parent company resulting from the tax law reform presented in Chile.

The key assumptions described above may change if the conditions of the economy and market change. At December 31, 2017, the Group estimates that reasonably possible changes in these assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of all CGUs to decline below their carrying amount.
