New standards, interpretations and amendments not adopted or listed below are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid -19 Related Rent Concessions
On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued Covid -19 Related Rent Concessions – amendment to IFRS 16 Leases. The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid -19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease pay ments resulting from the Covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change was not a lease modification.
The amendment was intended to apply until June 30, 2021, but as the impact of the Covid -19 pandemic is continuing, on March 31, 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to June 30, 2022. The amendment applies to a nnual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. This amendment had no impact on the con solidated financial statements of the Group.
• Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component
These amendments had no impact on the consol idated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.
2.4 New and Amended Standards and Interpretations Issued but not yet Effective
The standards and interpretations that are issued, 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. The new and amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have any significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non -Current
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, and must be applied retrospectively. The Group does not expect any effect on its consolidated financial statements.
