The decision is a positive one for the market. If they had actually effected that change to the negative side, that would have affected investors’ confidence. But now that they have extended the review period upward, I think that will give investors some level of confidence.

So, apart from that, I also think that the FX situation has actually been very supportive of the market for them to say ‘let’s wait and see the impact of the FX situation. I think for me that is quite good for the market.
