(1) Since the USA sale agreement, the United States is no longer considered a CGU (see Note 3). (2) As a result of the application of IAS 29, as indicated in Note 2.2.19, the book value of the Turkish CGU exceed ed the existing recoverable value as of December 31, 2021, and as a consequence the goodwill as well as other intangible assets (see Note 18.2) assigned to the Turkish CGU were derecognized. Goodwill in business combinations There were no significant business combinations during 2022, 2021 and 2020. Impairment Test As mentioned in Note 2.2.7, the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated, are periodically tested for impairment by including the allocated goodwill in their carrying amount. This analysis is performed at least annually and whenever there is any indication of impairment. Furthermore, it is analyzed whether certain changes in the valuation assumptions used could give rise to differences in the result of the impairment test. The BBVA Group performs estimations on the recoverable amount of certain CGU by calculating the value in use through the discounted value of future cash flows method. The main hypotheses used for the value in use calculation are the following: –The forecast cash flows, including net interest margin and cost of risk, estimated by the Group's management, and based on the latest available budgets for the next 4 to 5 years, considering the macroeconomic variables of each CGU, regarding the existing balance structure as well as macroeconomic variables such as the evolution of interest rates and the CPI of the geography where the CGU is located, among others. –The constant growth rate for extrapolating cash flows, starting in the fourth or fifth year, beyond the period covered by the budgets or forecasts. –The discount rate on future cash flows, which coincides with the cost of capital assigned to each CGU, and which consists of a risk-free rate plus a premium that reflects the inherent risk of each of the businesses evaluated. The focus used by the Group's management to determine the values of the assumptions is based both on its projections and past experience. These values are verified and use external sources of information, wherever possible. Goodwill - Mexico CGU The Group’s most significant goodwill corresponds to the CGU in Mexico, the main significant assumptions used in the impairment test of this CGU as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
Impairment test assumptions CGU goodwill in Mexico
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020
Discount rate (1) | 12.7 | % | 14.5 | % | 15.3 | %
Growth rate | 6.3 | % | 5.7 | % | 5.7 | %
(1) After tax discount rates. In accordance with paragraph 33.c of IAS 36, as of December 31, 2022, the Group used a growth rate of 6.3% based on the real GDP growth rate of Mexico, the expected inflation rate and the potential growth of the banking sector in Mexico. The assumptions with a greater relative weight and whose volatility could have a greater impact in determining the present value of the cash flows starting on the fourth year are the discount rate and the growth rate. The table below shows, in a simplified way, the relative variation by which the CGU recoverable amount would increase (or decrease) as a result of a reasonable variation (in basis points) of each of the key assumptions, considered in isolation as of December 31, 2022, where, in each case, their value in use would continue to exceed their book value:
Sensitivity analysis for main assumptions - Mexico
| Increase of 50 basis points (1) | Decrease of 50 basis points (1)
Discount rate | (7 | %) | 8 | %
Growth rate | 5 | % | (5 | %)
(1) The use of very different discount or growth rates would be inconsistent with the macroeconomic assumptions under which the Unit builds its business plan, such as inflation assumptions or interest rate curves used to determine cash flows. Goodwill - Turkey CGU As a result of the application of IAS 29 in 2022, as indicated in Note 2.2.19, the book value of the Turkish CGU exceeded the existing recoverable value as of December 31, 2021 and as a consequence the goodwill as well as other intangible assets (see Note 18.2) assigned to the Turkish CGU were derecognized. The main significant assumptions used in the impairment test of this CGU as of December 31, 2021 were a discount rate (after tax) of 27.0% and a growth rate of 7.0% (21.0% and 7.0% respectively as of December 31, 2020). Goodwill - The United States CGU Since the USA sale in 2021, the United States is no longer considered a CGU (see Note 3). As of March 31, 2020, the Group identified an indicator of impairment of goodwill in the United States CGU and as a result of the goodwill impairment test, the Group estimated impairment in the United States CGU of €2,084 million, which was mainly due to the negative impact of the update of the macroeconomic scenario following the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected evolution of interest rates. This recognition did not affect the tangible book value or the liquidity nor the solvency ratio of the BBVA Group. The main significant assumptions used in the impairment test of this CGU as of March 31, 2020 were a discount rate (after tax) of 10.3% and a growth rate of 3.0%. Goodwill - Other CGUs The impairment tests carried out on the rest of the CGUs have not detected significant impairment. Likewise, the sensitivity analysis on the main assumptions carried out for the rest of the CGU of the Group indicate that their value in use would continue to exceed their book value. Other intangible assets The breakdown of the balance and changes of this heading in the consolidated balance sheets, according to the nature of the related items, is as follows:
Other intangible assets (Millions of Euros)
| 2022 | 2021 | 2020
Computer software acquisition expense | 1,393 | 1,239 | 1,202
Other intangible assets with an infinite useful life | 13 | 12 | 12
Other intangible assets with a definite useful life | 43 | 128 | 221
Total | 1,449 | 1,379 | 1,435
The changes of this heading during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, are as follows:

Balance at the end |  | 1,396 | 1,239 | 1,202 |  | 56 | 140 | 233 |  | 1,453 | 1,379 | 1,435
(1) Amount is mainly due to the companies in the United States included in the USA Sale (see Notes 3 and 21). As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the cost of fully amortized intangible assets that remained in use were €3,490 million, €2,992 million and €2,622 million respectively, while their recoverable value was not significant.
