Noncontrolling interests in profits rose year on year in 2021, especially at BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn. Bhd., Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, and BASF TotalEnergies Petrochemicals LLC, Wilmington, Delaware, resulting mainly from considerably higher sales prices and volumes.

Noncontrolling interests in losses were recognized in 2020, primarily at BASF PETRONAS Chemicals Sdn. Bhd. due to the impairments of assets.

Income and expenses recognized in equity that were attributable to noncontrolling interests totaled €90 million in 2021 and –€49 million in 2020. These effects resulted from currency translation in both years.
