FirstRand Limited - CEO & Executive Director

All right. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the presentation of FirstRand's results for the year ended 30 June 2019. We have a lot to get through this morning, and so let's kick that off. Actually, I'll take these glasses off, so I can actually read my notes.

And again, pleasingly for us, we've been able to keep our ROE at the top end of our range of 18% to 22%, coming in at 22.8%. And we're very pleased with that.

Economic profit, or we call it net income after cost of capital, a very important performance pillar in the group. Pleasingly, you can see good growth in that economic stack. And again, you can see that creation of economic value continues.
