The balance sheet esp. the balance sheet of volkswagen financial services seems solid at first glance. <ref name=":0" /> Shareholder equity increased by 18,673M EUR in 2021. Main increases incurred in intangible assets (esp. capitalized development costs, Page 275), increase in lease assets, investments and increase in cash. On the liability side there has been an increase in non current liabilities both for Volkswagen and Volkswagen Financial Services. | |||
