The amounts recorded directly in equity mainly concern hedging transactions (negative effect of €357 million), comprising:
The main changes in 2024 relate to the impact of the decrease in the fair value of derivatives used as hedges of net foreign investments due to the depreciation of the euro against the principal hedged currencies during the period. The resulting deferred losses taken to equity were offset by gains recognised under currency translation differences arising from the change in value of the underlying net assets.
These transactions are described in Note J.27.1.2, “Description of hedging transactions”.
