The overall result from currency effects and measurement results from hedging transactions and hedging relationships totalled €−39 million (2015/16: €−48 million). As in the previous year, this figure largely results from foreign currency financings in Eastern Europe. In addition, the other financial result reflects €24 million (2015/16: €−24 million) in currency effects resulting from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries that are recognised through profit or loss in the year the subsidiary is deconsolidated or in the year business activities are discontinued.
