Refer to Note 27 “Financial Assets and Liabilities by Category” for more information on financial instruments classified by category and to Note 28 “Financial Risk Management” on management of liquidity risks.

The main components of Current liabilities are accrued payables to suppliers and accrued interconnect and roaming charges, while Other current liabilities mainly entail value-added tax, advances from customers and accruals of payroll expenses and social security contributions. Deferred income chiefly relate to subscription and other telecom charges. Included is also the current portion of deferred “day 1 gains” (refer to Note 25 “Other Long-term Liabilities”).
