All joint ventures are unlisted and are accounted for using the equity method and are considered to be non-current. The investments in joint ventures include interest in insurance companies that are required to maintain a minimum solvency margin based on local directives. Such restrictions can affect the ability of these joint ventures to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, or repayment of loans or advances, and therefore, there can be no assurance that these restrictions will not become a limitation in the future. Refer to note 48 Commitments and contingencies for any commitments and contingencies related to investments in joint ventures. There are no unrecognized shares of losses in joint ventures. The financial statements of the principal joint ventures have the same reporting date as the Group. Refer to note 52 Group companies for a listing of the investments in joint ventures and the Group’s percentage holding.
