30. Financial instruments
Carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments
Table 7.70 shows the carrying amounts and fair values
of the Group’s financial instruments. The fair value of a financial
instrument is the price at which a party would accept the
rights and/or obligations of that financial instrument from another
independent party. Given the varying influencing factors,
the reported fair values can only be viewed as indicators
of the prices that may actually be achieved on the market.
The fair values of financial instruments were calculated on
the basis of market information available on the balance
sheet date. The following methods and premises were used:
