Income up 2%
Total income increased by 2% to EUR 1,015 (995) million in 2008. Although the margin on new contracts
improved, the margin for the portfolio as a whole was lower. Interest income rose by 2% to EUR 530 (518)
million as a result of growth of the loan portfolio. Commission income was 17% higher, at EUR 61 (52)
million, due to higher brokerage commission income. The greater part of income from car leasing
activities is recognised under other income. Other income remains virtually stable, at EUR 424 (425) million.
