Results
The Corporate Center recorded a net attributable loss of €-557m between January and June of 2024, which is an improvement compared with the €-1,039m recorded in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the evolution of the NTI. The above is the result of the positive contribution in the second quarter of 2024 from the hedges of foreign currency positions, which contrasts with the negative contribution in the first half of the previous year, originating in both periods in the Mexican peso.
