The Group mitigates the credit risk on other receivables from equity accounted investee by reference to the market value of the asset, controlled by the investee. The Group creates the ALLOWANCE FOR IMPAIRMENT of the receivables from equity accounted investee to reflect the recoverable amount of the receivables.
