    4.8
    Capitalization of borrowing costs
     
    Borrowing costs related to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset that requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use are capitalized as part of the cost of such asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and costs can be measured reliably. Other borrowing costs are recognized as finance costs. Projects that have been suspended but that the Group intends to continue to pursue their development in the future, are not considered qualifying assets for the purpose of capitalization of borrowing costs.
