Trading balances owed to subsidiary companies are subject to normal credit terms. The reduction in financing balances was due to repayment of loans to a subsidiary which were financed through repayment of amounts owed to the Company by other subsidiaries (Note 42).

Interest is payable on financing balances at agreed fixed rates comprising funding cost and a margin. The average interest rate paid on borrowings advanced during the year was 1.83% (2021: 1.80%). There were no financing balances outstanding at 31 December 2022 (2021: €24.0 million at an interest rate of 1.52%).
