  • IFRS 16 redefines recording methods of operating leases in the financial statements imposing a single recognition method for all types of leasing, with the consequent recognition in the balance sheet of the tangible assets and liabilities for future payments
  • The main impacts deriving from the application of the new principle are:

  • recognition of financial liabilities equal to the present value of future rentals
  • The Group will apply this principle starting from 1 st January 2019
