21 – Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

This note gives information on the contractual conditions of the Group’s interest-bearing loans and borrowings. See note 25 for more information on the Group’s interest rate and currency risks.

Some of the interest-bearing loans and borrowings are in US dollars and pounds sterling. These have been hedged for the most part, using derivatives; fair value hedge accounting is applied to them, with the result that gains and losses in the fair value of the hedged portion of the loan are recognised.
