REFERENCE TO BARCLAYS PLC INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
Barclays Africa Group shareholders are advised that Barclays PLC
(Barclays) released its third quarter 2013 interim management
statement today.
Although it makes no substantial reference to our financial
performance, part of Barclays Africa Group is included in the
Africa Retail and Business Banking (RBB) segment that Barclays
disclosed in its statement.
Shareholders are advised not to draw inferences in respect of
Barclays Africa Group’s overall performance from this disclosure.
Barclays Africa Group’s contribution to Barclays Africa RBB excludes
Card and Corporate, Investment Banking and Wealth. These constituted
45% of our first half 2013 headline earnings. Barclay’s disclosure
for Africa RBB includes the impact of consolidation and overlay
adjustments, currency depreciation and accounting policy
differences. Together these factors make the numbers incomparable.
