(1) In Turkey, the foundation responsible for managing the benefit commitments holds an additional asset of €188 million as of December 31, 2022 which, in accordance with IFRS regarding the asset ceiling, has not been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements, because although it could be used to reduce future pension contributions it could not be immediately refunded to the employer.
(2) Recorded under the heading “Other Assets - Other” of the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 20).
(3) Recorded under the heading “Provisions - Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” of the consolidated balance sheet.
(4) Recorded under the heading “Provisions – Other long-term employee benefits” of the consolidated balance sheet. The variation is mainly explained by the collective layoff procedure that was carried out at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.
