Our Chief Financial Officer, Colin Simpson, was interviewed by Emily Tan on CNBC Asia live from our Investor Day 2024 event. Colin shared how we are raising the bar for our customers, colleagues and shareholders with our new financial targets, recent transactions, Asia growth strategy and innovative approach to GenAI. Watch the full interview here https://cnb.cx/45OUXJm. Video Description: Our most important use of our capital is to invest in our own business because we know it so well and its generating great returns. So that’s why we’re here in Asia, we’re showing people where we’re allocating capital to. Our second most important use for our capital is dividend growth. We’ve got an earnings per share growth target of 10 to 12%. And if we’re paying out 35 to 45% in dividends, you can see a really good dividend trajectory. And then the third item is whether we do M&A or share buybacks and so far, share buybacks have generated $3 billion of value based on the current share price. So that’s been an attractive lever for us. But we’ll continue to look at external opportunities. But we can be incredible disciplined when it comes to external opportunities.

Very informative,thank you so much!
