With the implementation of IFRS 9 on January 1, 2018, equity instruments under this heading have been reclassified to the heading: “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss” (see Note 11). As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the most significant balances within financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss related to assets and liabilities linked to insurance products where the policyholder bears the risk ("Unit-Link"). This type of product is sold only in Spain, through BB VA Seguros S.A., insurance and reinsurance and in Mexico through Seguros Bancomer S.A. de CV. Since the liabilities linked to insurance products in which the policyholder assumes the risk are valued the same way as the assets associated to these insurance products, there is no credit risk component borne by the Group in relation to these liabilities.
