NEW
AND
AMENDED
IFRS
STANDARDS
In
2020,
the
Group
has
adopt
ed
the
following
amended
standards
issued
by
the
IASB.
Amendments
to
IFRS
3
Business
Combinations
(effective
for
financial
periods
beginning
on
or
after
1
January
2020).
The
amendments
are
intended
to
assist
entities
to
determine
whether
a
transaction
should
be
accounted
for
as
a
business
combination
or
as
an
asset
acquisition.
The
amendments
clarify
the
minimum
requirements
for
a
business,
remove
the
assessment
of
whether
market
participants
are
capable
of
replacing
any
missing
elements,
add
guidance
to
help
entities
assess
whether
an
acquired
process
is
substantive,
narrow
the
definitions
of
a
business
and
of
outputs,
and
introduce
an
optional
fair
value
concentration
test.
The
amendments
have
no
impact
on
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
Amendments
to
IAS
1
Presentation
of
Financial
Statements
and
IAS
8
Accounting
Policies,
Changes
in
Accounting
Estimates
and
Errors
(effective
for
financial
periods
beginning
on
or
after
1
January
2020).
The
purpose
of
the
amendments
is
to
align
the
definition
of
‘material’
across
the
standards
and
to
clarify
certain
aspects
of
the
definition.
The
amendments
clarify
that
materiality
will
depend
on
the
nature
or
magnitude
of
information,
or
both.
The
amendments
have
no
impact
on
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
Amendments
to
IFRS
9
Financial
Instruments,
IAS
39
Financial
Instruments:
Recognition
and
Measurement,
and
IFRS
7
Financial
Instruments:
Disclosures
(effective
for
financial
periods
beginning
on
or
after
1
January
2020).
These
amendments
provide
certain
reliefs
in
connection
with
interest
rate
benchmark
reform.
The
reliefs
relate
to
hedge
accounting
and
have
the
effect
that
IBOR
reform
should
not
generally
cause
hedge
accounting
to
terminate.
Any
hedge
ineffectiveness
should
continue
to
be
recognised
in
the
statement
of
income.
The
amendments
do
not
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
Amendment
to
IFRS
16
Leases
Covid
-19
-Related
Rent
Concessions
(effective
for
financial
periods
beginning
on
or
after
1
June
2020).
The
amendment
introduces
an
optional
practical
expedient
that
simplifies
how
a
lessee
accounts
for
rent
concessions
that
are
a
direct
consequence
of
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
A
lessee
that
applies
the
practical
expedient
is
not
required
to
assess
whether
eligible
rent
concessions
are
lease
modifications
when
the
criteria
presented
in
the
amendment
are
met.
The
amendment
does
not
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
consolidated
financial
statements.
