Results

The Corporate Center recorded in the first half of the year 2023 a net attributable profit of €-1,072m , compared with €-230m recorded in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a negative contribution in the NTI line from exchange rate hedges as a result of better than expected currency performance, in particular the Mexican peso.

In the quarterly evolution of this aggregate, it is worth highlighting the recording of Telefónica's dividend.
