6.Other financial income and expense
Accounting policies

Other financial income and expense comprises mainly discounting effects, the impact of capitalised borrowing costs, foreign exchange gains and losses relating to financial items and changes in the value of equity instruments and derivatives not allocated to hedging interest rate or exchange rate risk, along with financial expense relating to lease liabilities under IFRS 16.

Capitalised borrowing costs relate to infrastructure under concession and are included during the construction period in the value of those assets. They are determined as follows:

  • To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of constructing an asset, the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation on that asset are the actual borrowing costs incurred during the period less any investment income arising from the temporary investment of those borrowings.
  • When borrowing is not intended to finance a specific project, the interest eligible for capitalisation on an asset is determined by applying a financing rate to the expenditure on that asset. This rate is equal to the weighted average of the costs of borrowing funds, other than those specifically intended for the construction of given assets.This does not relate to the construction of concession assets accounted for using the financial asset model (see Note F.14, "PPP financial receivables”).
