In 2020, other income went up by €24.2 million year on year.
The rise was predominantly attributable to the increase in foreign currency exchange rate gains. These are attributable to exchange rate gains arising in the course of the Group companies’ operating activities and to gains on hedges that were entered into in order to hedge currency risk arising from the operating business and are not part of a formally documented hedge (details of the countervailing losses can be found in note [11]).
