The improvement regarding currency management, is mainly due to the fact that the negative result of the previous year has been significantly influenced by the first application of the official SICAD II exchange rate, for the purpose of converting the Group’s net assets in the Venezuelan currency (the so called Bolivar Fuerte or VEF), which brought overall costs for € 97 million. With regard to the management of investments, the 2015 result was negative for € 114.9 million (positive for € 28.8 million) especially due to the impairment of the investment in Todini Costruzioni Generali for € 96.4 million, due to the sale agreement previously commented upon.
