Other operating expenses decreased by €44 million compared with the previous year. This decrease is mainly due to the abolishment of municipal sufferance taxes, as a result of which municipal sufferance taxes of €65 million were no longer levied.
On the other hand, there was an increase in IT costs of €3 million, other costs of €7 million due to higher consultancy costs and an increase in lease expenses of €5 million, mainly due to higher maintenance costs and fuel costs for lease cars and lower charging on of rental costs of business premises due to the expiry of the lease to third parties.
