Paragraph (7): An entity that, prior to the foreign exchange rate movement date, acquired fixed assets and/or real estate investments and/or exploration and evaluation assets and/or intangible assets (excluding goodwill) and/or right-of-use assets from lease contracts, financed by liabilities existing on that date in foreign currencies, may recognize within the cost of those assets the debit currency differences resulting from the settled portion of these liabilities during the financial period for applying this special accounting treatment, in addition to the currency difference resulting from translating the remaining balance of these liabilities at the end of December 31, 2023, or at the end of the financial statement closing date for the financial period applying this special accounting treatment, using the exchange rate applied on that date. The entity may apply this option for each asset individually.

Paragraph (9): As an exception to the requirements of paragraph "28" of the amended Egyptian Accounting Standard No. (12) "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" concerning the recognition of currency differences, an entity whose operating results were affected by net foreign exchange profits or losses due to the movement of foreign exchange rates, whether its recording currency is the Egyptian Pound or any other foreign currency, may recognize within Other Comprehensive Income items the net debit and credit currency differences realized during the period, in addition to the differences resulting from retranslating existing monetary item balances at the end of December 31, 2023, or at the financial statement closing date for the financial period applying this special accounting treatment, using the exchange rate applied on that date, net of any translation differences recognized within asset costs in accordance with paragraph "7" of this Annex.
