Restricted cash at 31 December 20 20 include collateral deposits of USD 425 million related to trading activities. Correspondingly, collateral deposits at 31 December 2019 were USD 414 m illion. Collateral deposits are related to certain requirements set out by exchanges where Equinor is participating. The terms and conditions related to these requirements are determined by the respective exchanges. Restricted cash at 31 December 2020 includes USD 574 million deposited with Equinor’s USD denominated bank account in Nigeria. There are certain restrictions on the use of cash from Equinor’s Nigerian operations. These are for the majority related to disagreements over the definition of eligible cash transactions to foreign accounts under Nigeria’s current foreign exchange regulations. As from February 2021, this cash is no longer regarded as restricted due to a favourable verdict in a court case.
