erecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another financial liability from the same lender on substantially different terms, or if the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

iv) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

The Group operates in several foreign currencies and is exposed to foreign currency risk. From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as delivery and non-deliverable forward currency contracts to hedge or reduce exposure to foreign currency risks. The Group has elected to separate the spot element from the forward element of certain derivative financial instruments and designated as the hedging instrument only the change in the fair value of the spot element. The change in the fair value of the spot element of such derivatives is presented in the Costs of services line item. The change in the fair value of the forward element of such derivatives is presented in the Finance costs line item. For information about derivative financial instruments see Note 24: Derivative financial instruments.

v) Fair value of financial instruments

The Group measures financial assets held at fair value through profit or loss at fair value as of each reporting date.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• In the principal market for the asset or liability; or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
