Trade receivables and payables, cash and short-term deposits, bank loans and working capital

The carrying amount of these items is equivalent to their fair value and includes the principal and interest accrued. Bank overdrafts are set off against cash balances pursuant to right of set off.

Trade receivables are net of doubtful debts provided.

Medium term notes
