All bonds are initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognized as a charge to the consolidated income statement over the period of the relevant bond. Financial debts, including current financial debts, contain only general default covenants. The Group is in compliance with these covenants. The percentage of fixed-rate financial debt to total financial debt was 79% at December 31, 2020, and 82% at December 31, 2019. The average interest rate on total financial debt in 2020 was 2.0% (2019: 2.4%). Note 29 contains a maturity table of the Group’s future contractual interest payments commitments. The following table provides a breakdown of straight bonds:
