Dividend Income 2014 2013 2012
Dividends from:


Financial assets held for trading 137 72 106
Available-for-sale financial assets 394 163 285
Total 531 235 390

The increase between 2013 and 2014 is mainly due to two factors:

  • The resumption of Telefonica S.A. dividends in 2014,
  • The reclassification of CNCB in October 2013 to “Financial assets held for sale”, which means that dividend payments are accounted for as equity instruments.
