Impairment charges on financial assets in 2020 were mainly driven by Americas impairments on public fixed income holdings, primarily in the energy sector, as a consequence of the weakening demand related to the nationwide lockdown due to
COVID-19.
Impairment charges on
non-financial
assets and receivables in 2020 are mainly related to a valuation allowance due to the ongoing rehabilitation process of a reinsurer of Aegon Americas for EUR 68 million.
For more details on impairments on financial assets, excluding receivables, refer to note 4 Financial risks.
