Investment income comprises interest received from short-term investments, bank deposits, government bonds
and gains from foreign exchange contracts which are used to hedge net debt. Financing costs mainly arise from
interest due on bonds and commercial paper issued, bank loans and the results of hedging transactions used to
manage foreign exchange and interest rate movements.
