Accounting policies

The Group only measures loans and advances and other financial investments at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;

• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
