From a document detailing some insurance product features:

reduction


Explanation:
A J de Keizer's Financieel Economisch Lexicon gives defintitions for 'afbouwen' including reduce [exposure], but I'm not sure how much help this might be. perhaps other clues elsewhere in your codument?

If 'afbouw' is contrasted with 'opbouw' elsewhere, I'd probably stick with reduction, since 'opbouw' in the insurance sense is usually accrual/accumulation. And apologies for the rushed spelling in my first post!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Bruce, elsewhere in the document it mentions a tariff option called 'Expiratiedesk Meerkeuzerekening Afbouw', I don't know if that helps any further. There is also a 'Expiratiedesk Meerkeuzerekening Opbouw' option.
