The Group’s contingent liabilities total €1,828 million (previous year restated: €645 million; the amounts attributable to the Deutsche Postbank Group are reported in Note 38). €84 million of the contingent liabilities relates to guarantee obligations (previous year, restated: €100 million) and €87 million to liabilities from litigation risks (previous year: €204 million). Other contingent liabilities rose (€1,378 million; previous year: €112 million) primarily as a result of another case of formal state aid proceedings (see Note 54 Litigation) accounted for in these financial statements.
