The decrease in loans by €267 million results from bank deposits with terms of more than three months maturing.
Receivables from derivatives included €12 million (previous year: €15 million) in forward exchange contracts and €8 million (previous year: €8 million) in embedded derivatives. Further information is given in note 24.2.
Receivables under lease agreements relate to finance leases where Covestro is the lessor and the economic owner of the leased assets is the contractual partner. Receivables under lease agreements are based on expected lease payments of €35 million (previous year: €34 million) including an interest component of €26 million (previous year: €26 million). Of the expected lease payments, €1 million is due within one year (previous year: €1 million), €3 million is due within the following four years (previous year: €2 million) and €31 million is due in subsequent years (previous year: €31 million).
