    2.5        2.5 Foreign currency transaction

    (a)              Functional and presentation currency

     

    Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi ("RMB"), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

     

    (b)              Transactions and balances

     

    Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

     

    Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated comprehensive income statement within " Finance (costs)/income-net ".
