As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 the most significant balances within other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss related to assets and liabilities linked to insurance products where the policyholder bears the risk ("Unit-Link"). This type of product is sold only in Spain, through BBVA Seguros SA, insurance and reinsurance and BBVA Vida S.A., insurance and reinsurance, and in Mexico through Seguros Bancomer S.A. de CV.

Since the liabilities linked to insurance products in which the policyholder assumes the risk are valued the same way as the assets associated to these insurance products, there is no credit risk component borne by the Group in relation to these liabilities.
