The Company holds the above foreign and domestic stocks for medium to long-term strategic purposes and expects to profit from long-term investment. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments at FVOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fair value fluctuations of these investments in profit or loss is not consistent with the Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes. These investments in equity instruments were classified as available-for-sale financial assets under IAS 39. Refer to Note s 5 and 10 for information relating to their reclassification and comparative information for 2017. The Company recognized dividend income of $396 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 from those investments still held on December 31, 2018.
