1.24. Government grants<br />

Government grants are recognized when there is a reasonable certainty that they will be received and all the<br />

requirements on which receipt depends have been fulfilled.<br />

Grants related to the purchase or production of non-current assets (grants related to assets) are recognized as<br />

deferred income and taken to the income statement over the useful life of the underlying assets.<br />

1.25. Management of capital<br />

The <strong>Group</strong> monitors its capital using the gearing ratio: net financial position/equity. The net financial position<br />

reflects financial liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets (as described in note 22).<br />

Equity consists of all the items presented in the statement of financial position.<br />

<strong>Group</strong> strategy aims to keep the gearing ratio at a level such as to ensure the smooth running of business<br />

operations, funding of investments and creation of maximum value for shareholders.<br />

To maintain or modify its capital structure, the <strong>Group</strong> may decide to vary the amount of dividends paid to<br />

shareholders, redeem capital, issue new shares, raise or reduce its investment in subsidiaries, purchase or sell<br />

investments.<br />
