A320 VDEV Question

Hello guys... I flew the 737 for the last 5+ years and recently finished my line training on the A320.

If anyone could help me with the following question, I would really appreciate:

Let's say you're on your descent procedure using managed modes (DES, NAV) at ECON speed (300ish kts) and you're on profile.

The ATC requests a speed reduction to 230kts and you pull speed to comply with it.

Right away, you'll get high on the profile...

Now, here comes the question: is the VDEV information on PROG page related to the speed you pulled and selected, or to the previously used speed from managed mode (ECON) ?

I know (by looking at the F-PLN page), that all predictions (at least those related to time) of a specific phase will be based on the selected speed, but don't know if the same applies for the VDEV calculation.

If possible, please, give the FCOM reference.

Thanks in advance.
