National Treasury Management Agency Financial Statements 2018 (4 Jul 2019) Seán Fleming: Please explain the discount rate. Mr. Breen said that it was paid at a higher rate and the settlement was at a lower rate, so people will think that means the amount payable went down. Please explain that for the people watching.

The discount rate is something that you manage and it is what you are going to earn. People when they hear about the discount rate think it is the interest rate. That may sound strange.
