Description Of The Legal Situation Of The Clauses Of Limitation Of Interest Rates In Mortgage Loans With Consumers |  | In the consolidated financial statements for the year 2016, the judicial procedure related to the clauses of limitation of interest rates in mortgage loans with consumers (the so-called “cláusulas suelo”) was considered material. In relation to this issue, after the preliminary ruling to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and after the analysis carried out on the portfolio of mortgage loans to consumers to which a floor clause had been applied, BBVA endowed a provision of €577 million (with an impact on the attributed profit of approximately €404 million) recorded in the consolidated profit and loss account for 2016, to cover potential claims. This provision has been used for this purpose during the year 2017. The additional provisions that have been made during the year 2017, to cover the possible claims that may arise in relation to this matter, have not been significant. |  |
