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.

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).
