Accounting Policy

 

Financial income includes interest income on short-term investments and changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 

Financial expenses include interest expenses on loans and losses at the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are measured in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are reported on a net basis.
