Of the EUR 17.9 billion in adjusted personnel costs, 82 percent is attributable to pay and salaries (EUR 14.7 billion), which were up 2.5 percent compared to 2023 due to the pay increases under collective agreements and one-off payments.
Social security costs and company pension schemes remain stable at EUR 3.2 billion. The schemes allow employees to supplement their statutory pensions.
The increased personnel costs are reflected in the slight rise in adjusted personnel costs as a share of total operating costs (0.1 percentage point).
