    (x)   Debt issued and other financial liabilities:

     

    Financial instruments issued by the Bank, which are not designated at fair value through profit and loss, are classified under “Debt issued”, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Bank having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of equity shares.

     

    After initial measurement, debt issued is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.  Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

     

    The Bank applies the same accounting policies for its other financial liabilities.
