Other financial expense improved by EUR 0.2 billion to EUR -0.2 billion, in particular in connection with the interest component from the measurement of provisions and liabilities. This decrease was mainly attributable to the subsequent measurement using actuarial principles of the present value of the provision recognized for the Civil Service Health Insurance Fund (Postbeamtenkrankenkasse – PBeaKK). By contrast, gains/losses from financial instruments decreased by EUR 0.2 billion.

EUR -204 million (2023: EUR 129 million, 2022: EUR ‑226 million) of gains/losses from financial instruments related to currency translation effects, and EUR 201 million (2023: EUR 41 million, 2022: EUR -1,010 million) to gains/losses from other derivatives as well as measurements of equity investments.

As a rule, all income/expense components including interest income and expense from financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 are reported under gains/losses from financial instruments.
