The corresponding amounts that are not netted in the balance sheet include both financial instruments and collateral. The financial instruments that have not been netted could be netted based on the underlying framework agreements, but do not fulfil the netting criteria of IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation).

Collateral may include both financial assets provided as collateral for liabilities to third parties and financial liabilities which METRO has received from a third party as collateral for assets.

  • Further information on collateral can be found in no. 43 – management of financial risk.
