Refer to note 34 “Insurance contracts” for further details on the LAT impact. In addition, 2019 includes the dilution of the capital injections in India (ALIC) of EUR 10 million and impairments to software in the Netherlands of EUR 9 million. Impairment charges/(reversals) on non-financial assets and receivables in 2018 amounted to EUR 46 million mainly due to updated valuations on various real estate properties in the Americas and impairments to software in the Netherlands.
