The interests shall be broken down both by interest income on financial and other assets and interest expenses on financial and other liabilities.

For the same purposes, the amount of net interest is the absolute value of the difference between interest income and interest expenses.

Net interest income fell from EUR 3223 million to EUR 2994 million due mainly to interest margin pressure in the first half of 2009.
