What is Exchange differences?

The difference arising from translating foreign-currency items at exchange rates on different dates.

Monetary items such as foreign-currency receivables, payables and cash are measured at the period-end rate, and the resulting difference is recognised in profit or loss. For tax purposes, foreign-currency items are also valued under the provisions of the Tax Procedure Law.
