| Standards and interpretations issued but not effective | 3. Standards and interpretations issued but not effective
The new standards, interpretations and amendments to Standards that are issued to the extent relevant to the Group, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these Standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial statements”, a comprehensive new accounting standard which replaces existing IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”, carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1 unchanged and complementing them with new requirements. New requirements of IFRS 18 include mandates to:
- present specified categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit/(loss) and other comprehensive income/(loss);
- provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; and
- improve aggregation and disaggregation of information in the consolidated financial statements.
This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted, but will need to be disclosed. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18 on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for Classification and Measurement of financial instruments
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, and IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:
● clarify a financial liability is derecognized on the ‘settlement date’ - i.e., when the related obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for de recognition. They also introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, if certain conditions are met;
● clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) linked features and other similar contingent features;
● clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments; and
● require additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
The amendments are effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2026. Early adoption is permitted, with an option to early adopt the amendments for contingent features only. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on these consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 19, “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
In May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities to elect to apply its reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS accounting standards. To be eligible, at the end of the reporting period, an entity must be a subsidiary as defined in IFRS 10, cannot have public accountability and must have a parent (ultimate or intermediate) that prepares consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which comply with IFRS accounting standards.
IFRS 19 will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early application permitted.
As the Group’s equity instruments are publicly traded, it is not eligible to elect to apply IFRS 19.
