The Commission notes that for a profit-driven investor the current value of an investment is dependent on the prospect of future income streams from that investment (in the form of, for example, dividends) in combination with the capital value of that investment at that moment in time (which can be derived, for example, from the price which a purchaser would pay for the shareholder's investment at that moment or from the time-discounted value of the price which a purchaser would pay for the shareholder's investment in the future).
Quant à l'argument de la Lettonie selon lequel une prolongation, par la BERD, de l'échéance de son prêt subordonné aurait entraîné des charges supplémentaires au moment de la vente de Citadele, les autorités lettones n'ont produit aucun élément démontrant qu'une telle prolongation aurait effectivement engendré de tels coûts supplémentaires.
