Agenda decision supported?

More information

IAS 21 — Determination of the exchange rate when there is a long-term lack of exchangeability

Yes; however, we believe that to address the facts that (as stated in the tentative agenda decision) economic conditions are constantly evolving and that different conditions exist in different jurisdictions this research should not focus solely on the current situation in Venezuela

IAS 23 — Expenditures on a qualifying asset

Yes; however, we believe that the value of the tentative agenda decision could be enhanced by elaborating on the statement that “the entity does not disregard expenditures on the qualifying asset incurred before the entity obtains the general borrowings”

IAS 23 — Borrowing costs on land

Yes
