Listed 592 1,617

Other investments comprise equity investments that have no fixed maturity date or coupon rate. These investments are classified as available-for-sale
financial assets and as such are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss arising as a result of changes in fair value recorded directly in equity.
Accumulated fair value changes are recycled to the income statement on disposal, or when the investment is impaired.
The fair value of listed investments has been determined by reference to quoted market bid prices. Unlisted investments are stated at cost less
accumulated impairment losses.
The most significant investment is the group’s stake in Rosneft which had a fair value of $483 million at 31 December 2008 (2007 $1,285
million). During 2008, an impairment loss of $517 million was recognized relating to the Rosneft investment (see Note 11), $29 million relating to other
listed investments and $17 million relating to unlisted investments (2007 $80 million relating to unlisted investments).
