Expenditure
Total expense (excluding tax) decreased by 3% in terms of percentage of total operating revenues and by 2.3% in absolute
terms over the previous year. This was mainly on account of reduction in interest cost by 38% and foreign exchange loss
by 79% compared to the previous year. However, employee cost for the year was higher by 14% which was in line with the
general increase in cost of manpower in the country.
