Since a significant portion of the amounts above will expire without any payment obligation materializing for the consolidated entities, the aggregate balance of these commitments cannot be considered as an actual future requirement for financing or liquidity to be provided by the BBVA Group to third parties.

In 2013, 2012 and 2011 no issuance of debt securities carried out by associate entities of the BBVA Group, joint venture entities or non-Group entities have been guaranteed.
