Other eligible capital (TIER II), which mainly consists
of subordinated debt, eligible latent capital gains and
generic provisions in excess of the limits defined in the
rules, amounted to €11,778m and therefore the Tier II
ratio is 4.1%. This complementary capital rose 0.2%
during the quarter owing mainly to increases in
loan-loss provisions and eligible latent capital gains.
As a result, the BIS ratio at the end of September 2009
was 13.4%, an increase of 1.1% compared to the end
of the previous quarter.
