The leased assets are recognised in property, plant and equipment at carrying amounts of €709 million (previous year: €808 million). The difference between the carrying amounts and the liabilities results from longer economic useful lives of the assets compared with a shorter repayment period for the rental. The notional amount of the minimum lease payments totals €1,084 million.

Subordinated debt of Deutsche Postbank Group relates to subordinated liabilities, hybrid capital instruments, profit participation certificates outstanding and contributions by typical silent partners. Due to the current residual maturity structure, only €3,521 million (previous year: €3,354 million) of these items represents liable capital as defined by the Basel Capital Accord. A total of €2,006 million (previous year: €1,668 million) of the subordinated debt is hedged against changes in fair value. €4.1 billion (previous year: €4.2 billion) of the subordinated debt bears fixed interest rates, whilst €1.6 billion (previous year: €0.8 billion) bears floating rates of interest.
