At the end of 2017, in the same way as the previous year, the carrying amount of the other financial assets comprised receivables, loans and capitalised costs denominated in euros. In 2017 this included a long-term receivable of €18 million from the City of Amsterdam relating to the Spaklerweg site.

The loans granted and repaid in 2016 and 2017 were mainly in the form of short-term deposits.
