In addition, there are the following differences, all of which were determined using simplified procedures. At BSH, there are net unrealized gains in the amount of €7.5 billion (2022: €10.0 billion) from collective building society operations, which result from the balance of the carrying amounts recorded for the home savings business of €-60.3 billion (2022: €-64.4 billion (surplus of liabilities)) and the present value of the home savings pool of €-52.9 billion (2022: €-54.5 billion) calculated using simulation models for building society operations.
