(c) the gross carrying amount of financial assets and the amortised cost of financial liabilities subject to those contractual terms.
20D For example, an entity shall disclose the information required by paragraph 20C for a class of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost whose contractual cash flows change if the entity achieves a reduction in its carbon emissions.
