7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

All financial instruments held by the Group are measured at amortised cost, with the exception of derivative financial instruments and certain items included in trade and other payables. The latter are measured at fair value through profit or loss, are categorised into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are considered to be immaterial. Level 2 is defined as using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). The carrying value of all financial instruments approximate their fair value.
