The variations in 2014 in the amounts of Tier 1 capital in the above table are basically due to the cumulative earnings to December net of dividends, the capital increase carried out during the year and the new issue of perpetual contingent convertibles. This increase is partially offset by the new deductions that took effect starting January 1, 2014 and the lower level of eligibility of certain elements (minority holdings, preference shares).

In Tier 2 capital the increase is mainly due to the variations in other subordinated liabilities due to current regulatory changes (Article 88 of the CRR), which calculate as Tier 2 the capital flow from subsidiaries, as well as the surplus due to excess Tier 2 at local level (phased in at 20%). In addition, as reflected in Table 8, the full compliance subordinate debt issue for €1.5 billion carried out in 2014 has helped improve the Group's capital position.

In the minimum eligible capital, the increase is due mainly to the different criteria applied in calculating requirements according to the CRR (new requirements such as, for example, the credit valuation adjustment (CVA), deferred tax assets or the part of significant holdings in financial institutions that is not deducted, etc.) and increased activity in the Group's units, mainly outside Europe.

The process followed is shown below, according to the recommendations issued by the EBA and in line with the exercise of transparency conducted by the Bank. Based on the shareholders' equity reported in the Group's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and by applying the deductions and adjustments shown in the table below, the regulatory capital figure for solvency purposes is arrived at:
