The movements in lease liabilities over the period were mainly related to an increase due to the extension of some lease contracts for offices and the regular redemptions and foreign currency translations.

The maturity of the lease liabilities is analyzed in section 4.3.27 financial instruments - fair values and risk management (liquidity risk).

The total cash outflow for leases in 2023 was US$22 million, which includes redemptions of principal and interest payments. Total interest for the period amounted to US$4 million.
