Income and expenses from the Deutsche Postbank Group’s banking transactions are not recognized under net other finance costs. While income – in particular in the form of interest, fee and commission income as well as income from equities and securities – is recognized under revenue and income from banking transactions (see Note 10), expenses – in particular interest, fee and commission expenses – are carried under materials expense and expenses from banking transactions (see Note 12).
The increase in interest expense relates primarily to the increase in expenses for discounted provisions.
