1Additions to provisions and unused amounts released are presented in Note 26 'Other operating expenses' in the Statement of Profit 
or Loss.
As at 31 December 2025, amounts expected to be settled within 12 months in provisions amount to EUR
694 million (2024: EUR  574 million). The amounts included are based on best estimates with regard to amounts
and timing of cash flows required to settle the obligation.
Reorganisation provisions
Reorganisation initiatives are implemented over a period of several years and the estimate of the reorganisation
provisions is inherently uncertain.
Litigation provisions
Furthermore, we refer to Note 42 'Legal proceedings' for any contingent liabilities in respect of legal proceedings.
Other provisions
In 2024, the utilisations in the Other provisions mainly relate to the provision for the compensation of Dutch retail
customers for past interest charges that did not sufficiently track market rates.
