This operation involved a EUR 60 million profit recorded under "Gains/(losses) on financial assets not designated for trading compulsorily measured at fair value through profit or loss (net)" in the 2018 statement of profit or loss.

The changes in the valuation of these financial assets as a result of variations of credit risk are not significant, because of their credit quality (Note 3.4.1).
