We are upgrading our expectations, and are now targeting a return on tangible equity approaching 10% in 2023, to exceed 11% in 2024, and to continue to grow thereafter".

Outlook
Our performance has been strong, and the pace of economic recovery in many of our footprint markets is encouraging.
Whilst recessionary and inflationary pressures will continue to impact many parts of the world, particularly in the first half of 2023, we expect most of the markets in which we operate to continue their recent momentum with GDP growth in the Asian economies at above 5% over the next two years being pivotal to progressive global recovery.
The recent opening-up of China and the generally receding impacts of COVID-19 should help in that regard albeit we will continue to monitor closely the sovereign risks in markets that are most exposed to tightening liquidity.
Overall, the markets in which we operate, the further benefits of rising interest rates and the evidential improvement in many of our operating metrics cause us to be optimistic about the period ahead. For 2023 and 2024 our expectations are now:
• Income to grow in the 8-10% range excluding DVA and at ccy
• Full year average NIM of around 175bps in 2023 and above 180bps in 2024
• Asset and RWA growth in the low single digit percentage range
• Around 3% positive income-to-cost jaws in 2023 and in 2024, excluding DVA and UK bank levy at ccy
• Credit impairment to continue to normalise towards the historic through the cycle loan-loss rate range of 30-35bps
• To operate dynamically within the full 13-14% CET1 target range
• RoTE to be approaching 10% in 2023
• RoTE to exceed 11% in 2024, with further growth thereafter

Group Chairman's statement
Delivering growth opportunities in our dynamic markets
In 2022, Standard Chartered continued to make good progress executing its strategy and delivered a strong financial performance. The external environment we faced was mixed. The war in Ukraine created significant uncertainty in Europe and other key markets. However, the global economy remained resilient, with the recent relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions in China providing more grounds for optimism in 2023.
As these events unfold, it is clear that Standard Chartered's role - connecting high-growth and emerging markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East with each other, and with Europe and the Americas - is more vital than ever. Our financial performance, and the resiliency of our unique geographic footprint, mean that we are well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities for growth in the years ahead.
Our performance in 2022 is due in large part to the incredible work of over 83,000 people across the world, supported by the Management Team, and led by Group Chief Executive Bill Winters. Every day, Standard Chartered colleagues deliver first-rate results for our clients, providing tailored products and services to help them grasp the opportunities ahead.
Anchored in our Purpose, we continue to drive commerce and prosperity in markets across the world through our unique diversity. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together in 2022, and I look forward to the opportunities that 2023 will bring.
Continued financial momentum
We continue to deliver an improving financial performance. Bill Winters, and Andy Halford, our Group Chief Financial Officer, will provide more detail on our financial results in the following pages.
Last year, our income grew by 15 per cent to $16.3 billion, our highest since 2014, and underlying profit before tax increased by 15 per cent to $4.8 billion. It is clear that our strategy to drive improved levels of return on tangible equity (RoTE) is working. RoTE for the year increased to 8 per cent, 120 basis points higher year-on-year. We have revised our target RoTE for 2024 from 10 per cent to exceed 11 per cent, with further growth thereafter.
The Group maintained a robust liquidity position and our capital levels remain strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14 per cent at year end, at the top of our target range of 13-14 per cent. Our asset quality and earnings trajectories are strong, which gives us confidence that we can deliver substantial shareholder returns of at least $5 billion by the end of 2024, as set out last year.
The Board is very clear that any capital not required for growth will be distributed to shareholders. We have increased the total dividend by 50 per cent to 18 cents per share and have announced a new share buy-back of $1 billion, starting imminently. This will take total capital, including dividends, announced since the start of 2022, to $2.8 billion, which is well over halfway towards our target.
Ambition and progress on our strategic priorities
Our strategy, outlined in 2021, aligns us with the major engines of global growth and we see strong progress across our four strategic priorities: Network, Affluent, Mass Retail and Sustainability.
Our Network business continues to facilitate investment, trade and capital flows across our geographic footprint, where we are one of the leading international wholesale banks. Our Affluent business is setting the standard for wealth management across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. We are providing new digital solutions, strategic partnerships and advanced analytics to our Mass Retail clients, lifting participation and generating Affluent clients of the future. And we continue to focus on our Sustainability agenda that supports a just transition ensuring that we are making a difference where it matters most. The additional strategic actions we are targeting to accelerate our performance are outlined in Bill's report and I am pleased to say that we are executing against these at pace.
Page 4
Group Chairman's statement continued
Our strategy is underpinned by our Stands, the areas where we have set long-term ambitions for impact in the markets we call home: Accelerating Zero, Resetting Globalisation and Lifting Participation.
Through Accelerating Zero, we are progressing on our commitment to be net zero in our financed emissions by 2050, supporting a just transition - one where climate objectives are met without depriving emerging markets of their opportunity to grow and prosper - which will underpin future social and economic prosperity. Our 2050 Net Zero roadmap was endorsed by our shareholders at our 2022 Annual General Meeting, following extensive engagement with shareholders, clients and NGOs. During 2022 we facilitated $23.4 billion of sustainable finance, as we make progress towards our 2030 target of mobilising $300 billion in sustainable finance.
Through Resetting Globalisation we are leveraging our network and role as one of the world's largest trade banks, to create a fairer and more inclusive model of global growth, and building more resiliency in global supply chains through international diversification and digital technologies. We are also helping to address funding gaps for businesses across Asia, Africa and the Middle East, particularly for small and micro enterprises.
Through Lifting Participation, we continue to broaden access to financial services and create specialised programmes to support disadvantaged communities across our footprint. We remain hugely proud of our Futuremakers programme, which was set up in 2019 to improve economic inclusion in our markets, with a focus on women and girls, and in 2022 worked with over 335,000 young people. In India and Kenya, we have set up Solv, an e-commerce marketplace for small and medium-sized enterprises, which served over 230,000 customers in 2022.
Elsewhere, we worked in partnership with FairPrice Group to successfully launch the fully digital Trust Bank in Singapore, gaining 450,000 customers in our first five months.
SC Ventures continues to invest in potentially transformational business models and ecosystems, connecting more and more clients with economic opportunity. This is just one example of our collaborative approach to innovation and financial inclusion.
Enhancing governance and culture
During the year, we continued to drive diversity in our Board, recognising the benefits of diverse mix of gender, social and ethnic backgrounds, skills, knowledge, experience and adequate reflection of our key markets to support our strategy.
The Board was heartened by the results of the externally facilitated effectiveness review of the Board and its committees. It assessed the Board's progress since the last external review in 2019 and concluded that the Board continues to operate effectively while also identifying some areas for improvement. More detail on process, outcomes and actions can be found on page 156 in the Annual Report.
In 2022, we welcomed four new independent non-executive directors to the Board. Shirish Apte was appointed in May 2022 and joins the Remuneration, Audit and Board Risk Committees. Robin Lawther was appointed in July 2022 and joins the Remuneration and Board Risk Committees. Jackie Hunt was appointed in October 2022 and joins the Audit and Culture and Sustainability Committees. Dr. Linda Yueh was appointed in January 2023 and joins the Remuneration and Culture and Sustainability Committees. I am delighted to welcome them and I am sure that we will greatly benefit from their broad experience and contributions.
Last year also saw the retirement of several long-standing and valued directors from our Board. I would like to thank Naguib Kheraj, former Deputy Chairman and Chair of the Board Risk Committee who retired from the Board in April for his unwavering dedication and most significant and impactful contributions to the Board and Committee discussions. My thanks also go to Byron Grote who retired from the Board in November for his many contributions to the Board and its Committees. In addition, I would like to thank Christine Hodgson, former Senior Independent Director and Chair of the Remuneration Committee, for her many insightful contributions and great dedication as well as for agreeing to remain on the Board until January 2023 to ensure a smooth transition to a new Remuneration Committee Chair.
We also announced that Jasmine Whitbread, Chair of the Culture and Sustainability Committee, and a long-standing and much valued board member, would not be seeking re-election at the 2023 AGM and will retire from the Board at that time.

Group Chairman's statement continued
Looking ahead
We are well positioned to take advantage of considerable growth opportunities in our footprint as we navigate an uncertain external environment in 2023. Global growth, while slower, should remain resilient. But, with central banks focusing on controlling inflation against a backdrop of trade and geopolitical tensions, significant uncertainties remain.
Our markets are some of the world's most dynamic places, with a growth potential that significantly outstrips more established economies. Asia is likely to be the fastest-growing region in the world, and the significant re-opening of the Chinese economy from COVID-19 restrictions is likely to materially boost demand and growth. This, together with India and ASEAN's high rates of economic expansion and continued dynamism in commodity-exporting countries in our footprint, gives us plenty of reasons for optimism as we continue to help customers build growth, prosperity and a stronger future.
The Board will continue to ensure an appropriate balance of opportunity and risk, acting in your interests as shareholders. We are grateful to you for the trust you place in us and for your ongoing support of the Group. I am confident that we will continue to create long-term, sustainable value for all stakeholders in 2023 and beyond.

Group Chief Executive's review
Executing on our strategy and driving shareholder returns
The Group delivered a strong performance in 2022, executing well against our strategy and the five strategic actions we set out this time last year, whilst continuing to invest for the future. 2022 income was over $16 billion, our highest since 2014 and up 15 per cent, with about half coming from underlying business growth and the remainder from the normalisation in interest rates. This is particularly impressive given the material headwinds in our Wealth Management business. We have been disciplined with expenses, generating savings which allow for continued investment and significantly positive income-to-cost jaws. Loan impairment rose, mainly due to the challenges of the China commercial real estate sector and sovereign risk. The broader portfolio remains resilient and we continue to be vigilant in the face of volatile global markets. All this has helped us increase underlying profit before tax for the year to $4.8 billion, an improvement of 15 per cent year-on-year.
Our strategy is working and delivering improved performance and returns to shareholders. Return on Tangible Equity (RoTE) at 8 per cent is now above the levels it was before the pandemic. We intend to build on our momentum to approach 10 per cent RoTE in 2023, to over 11 per cent in 2024, and continue to grow thereafter. Our equity generation and discipline on RWA this year has meant our year end Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is at the top of our target range, allowing us to increase our full year ordinary dividend to 18 cents per share, a 50 per cent increase. We have also announced a further share buy-back of $1 billion, starting imminently, which will bring our total shareholder returns since the start of 2022 to $2.8 billion, well on our way to our 2024 target of at least $5 billion.
Good progress on our strategic actions
We are proud to connect the world's most dynamic markets. Our Purpose is to drive commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity and this guides our strategy and everything we do. The businesses we serve, and with which we connect and partner, are the engines of trade and innovation, and central to the transition to a fair, sustainable future.
In support of our Purpose, we continue to focus on three 'Stands', areas where we have long-term ambitions for positive business and societal impact - Accelerating Zero, Resetting Globalisation and Lifting Participation. These stands are fully consistent with our strategy, stretching our thinking, our action and our leadership to accelerate our growth.
We set out our strategy in early 2021, built on the four pillars of Network, Affluent, Mass Retail and Sustainability. Two years on, these themes and areas of focus are even more relevant; our strategy is working, and will continue to drive future growth. In 2022 we also set out five strategic actions that we would take to accelerate delivery of double-digit RoTE, including:
• Driving improved returns in Corporate, Commercial & Institutional Banking (CCIB)
• Transforming profitability through productivity in Consumer Private & Business Banking (CPBB)
• Seizing the opportunity in China with the ambition to double onshore and offshore profit before tax
• Creating operational leverage and delivering gross cost savings of $1.3 billion
• Delivering over $5 billion of capital returns to our shareholders
We have made good progress across all five areas.
In CCIB we are targeting around a 160 basis point improvement in income return on risk weighted assets (IRORWA) to 650 basis points with RWA capped at full year 2021 levels. We have already delivered on this IRORWA improvement target in 2022 and RWA levels are $20 billion below 2021 levels. The recently announced strategic review of our Aviation Finance business will create further capacity for CCIB to grow higher return business.
In CPBB the team has already achieved gross savings of $233 million against their 2024 target of $500 million. These savings have come from rationalising the branch network, process re-engineering, headcount efficiencies and further automation. Despite a challenging Wealth Management performance in 2022 the CPBB cost-to-income ratio improved 5 percentage points to 69 per cent and should show further improvement in 2023.

Group Chief Executive's review continued
China has faced COVID-19 and economic headwinds. Despite those difficulties, our onshore China business increased its income by 10 per cent in 2022, and offshore-related income is up 21 per cent. However, impairments on China commercial real estate related risk have pushed our offshore and onshore China operating profit down in 2022. We are confident in the long-term opportunity in China and committed to achieving our 2024 targets for China-related growth.
The Group's positive income-to-cost jaws of 6 per cent in 2022 were driven by strong income growth and discipline on expenses. We have delivered about a third of the $1.3 billion expense save target we set out earlier this year. Inflationary pressures are now evident in many of our footprint markets and these expense saves help us manage those pressures, whilst creating capacity to invest. We will now target positive income-to-cost jaws of around 3 per cent in 2023 and 2024.
Further opportunities emerging
In 2022 we continued to transform and innovate within our business to drive sustainable growth, including developing our digital and sustainability capabilities. Our colleagues bring unrivalled financial expertise to help identify opportunities across growing markets, sectors and in sustainable finance. We continue to prove ourselves as a trusted partner, working with start-ups, multinationals, fintechs and governments to create new ideas, technology and innovation.
In our Ventures segment, we were delighted to announce the launch of our second wholly digital bank, Trust Bank, in Singapore. Partnering with FairPrice Group, the largest supermarket chain in Singapore, and building on our successful experience of creating the Mox virtual bank in Hong Kong, we were able to bring Trust Bank to the market quickly and efficiently. The early success of Trust Bank onboarding over 450,000 customers so far, or 9 per cent of the addressable market, has exceeded our most ambitious expectations. In 2023, Trust Bank will build on this momentum to roll out additional products to better serve our customers. Together with Mox, we now have fully developed virtual and traditional bank offerings in two of our most significant markets.
The sustainability agenda continues to gather pace as the world faces significant climate and environmental challenges, with the imperative to invest, find solutions and support a just transition to net zero having never been greater. In 2022 we reshaped our organisation to better address the challenges and opportunities, creating a Chief Sustainability Officer role as we continue to invest in the capabilities and expertise that our business and clients need.
At the 2022 Annual General Meeting, our 2050 Net Zero pathway was endorsed by our shareholders, and we are on track to deliver on our plans to reach net zero in our operations by 2025 and in our financed emissions by 2050. We have made good progress during the year and we have accelerated progress in some areas where more market data on emissions has become available.
We have a deep understanding of how climate change affects our footprint markets, clients and communities and we continue to play a leading role in addressing these challenges. The estimates of the financing needed to deliver net zero continues to grow and we mobilised $48 billion of sustainable finance in the last 21 months as we support our clients on their transition plans. Our ambition is to mobilise $300 billion in sustainable finance by 2030 and we have developed a Green and Sustainable Product Framework and Transition Finance Framework to guide us.
Optimistic outlook for the markets in our footprint
Looking forward into 2023, whilst there is recession risk in the US and Europe, ongoing geopolitical issues and the war in Ukraine we also see reasons for increased optimism for the areas of the world in which we operate.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is now finally abating in the last few markets in our footprint. China's new approach to dealing with COVID-19 will drive economic growth and this in turn will help further improve GDP growth in the economies of Asia.

Group Chief Executive's review continued
This will also act as a catalyst for our Wealth Management business which was subdued in 2022. Clients remained on the side-lines as market volatility undermined confidence. This together with the last remaining pandemic restrictions led to a year-on-year fall in income. As we go into 2023, we are optimistic that as these factors recede the Wealth Management business can rebound from a difficult year.
Rising interest rates will inevitably feed through further into loan impairment at some stage. However, reflecting the work we have done over a number of years to reshape our loan portfolios, there are only relatively small pockets of stress in our books. Our loan loss rate remains well below the historic range. Whilst China commercial real estate exposures remain a challenge for the banking sector generally, it remains a small part of our portfolio, against which we feel appropriately provided. We remain watchful on sovereign risk where continued USD strength will remain problematic for some of our markets though we have the capital strength to navigate these challenges.
Finally, reflecting our increased optimism, we are lifting our earnings targets. We had said that we will deliver double digit RoTE in 2024, if not earlier. As we start the new year we think we will be approaching 10 per cent RoTE in 2023 and have raised our 2024 RoTE target to be at least 11 per cent and to continue to grow thereafter.
In conclusion
The Group has delivered a strong performance in 2022. The revenue outlook into 2023 is positive, with our core business momentum supported by the tailwind of rising interest rates.
We are optimistic for the markets in our footprint as they finally emerge from the challenges brought by the pandemic and as economic activity rebounds. Our strategy is clear, we continue to make good progress on our five targeted strategic actions and remain committed to delivering over $5 billion of shareholder returns by 2024.
Finally, echoing José, I would like to highlight the remarkable efforts of our more than 83,000 colleagues. Their deep expertise combined with resilience in some challenging circumstances in certain markets has delivered seamless service to our customers and communities that we serve, bringing to life our brand promise to be here for good.

Back to growth and improving returns
Summary of financial performance
The Group delivered a strong performance in 2022 generating a 120 basis point uplift in underlying return on tangible equity to 8.0 per cent with underlying profit before tax increasing 15 per cent on constant currency basis. Income at $16.3 billion, grew 15 per cent on a constant currency basis excluding DVA, and is at its highest level since 2014, with a record performance in Financial Markets and strong expansion in the net interest margin. Loans and advances to customers grew an underlying 3 per cent despite the rising interest rate environment. Expenses increased 9 per cent at constant currency, due to continued investment in the business, salary inflation, and increased performance-related pay on the back of business performance. Credit impairment charges increased to $838 million including further charges relating to the China commercial real estate sector and the impact of sovereign-related downgrades. However, the loan-loss rate of 21 basis points remains well below our historic through-the-cycle loan loss range. The Group remains well capitalised and highly liquid with a CET1 ratio of 14.0 per cent at the top end of its target range enabling the Board to announce a 50 per cent increase in the full-year dividend and a further $1 billion share buyback programme to start imminently.
All commentary that follows is on an underlying basis and comparisons are made to the equivalent period in 2021 on a reported currency basis, unless otherwise stated.
• Operating income increased 10 per cent, or 15 per cent on a constant currency basis, normalising for a $27 million positive movement in DVA. About half of the growth in income was from strong, sustained business momentum, through a combination of balance sheet growth and increased fee and trading income, with the remaining increase reflecting the benefit of a higher interest rate environment
• Net interest income increased 12 per cent or 18 per cent on a constant currency basis. The net interest margin averaged 141 basis points and is 20 basis points higher year-on-year aided by rising interest rates despite a 4-basis point negative impact from short-term and structural hedges
• Other income increased 9 per cent, with a record performance in Financial Markets partly offset by lower Wealth Management income impacted by subdued market conditions
• Operating expenses excluding the UK bank levy increased 4 per cent and were up 7 per cent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for the increase in performance-related pay driven by the strong business performance. The underlying expense growth reflects the impact of a high-inflation environment including the impact on salary increases, additional investment into transformational digital capabilities and headcount. The cost-to-income ratio decreased 4 percentage points to 66 per cent excluding DVA and UK bank levy and the Group generated 6 per cent positive income-to-cost jaws at constant currency excluding DVA
• Credit impairment was $838 million, an increase of $575 million. The impairment charge includes $582 million in relation to China commercial real estate sector and $283 million in relation to sovereign downgrades partly offset by releases in the management overlay relating to COVID-19. Total credit impairment of $838 million represents a loan-loss rate of 21 basis points, a year-on-year increase of 14 basis points in the cost of risk, but still well below the historic through-the-cycle loan loss range of 30 to 35 basis points.
• Other impairment increased by $24 million to $79 million. The $300 million impairment charge recorded in 2021 relating to the Group's investment in its associate China Bohai Bank (Bohai) has been reclassified out of underlying performance and into goodwill and other impairments. The remaining other impairment primarily relates to the aviation leasing portfolio
• Profit from associates and joint ventures decreased 5 per cent to $167 million reflecting a lower profit share from Bohai
• Charges relating to restructuring, other items and goodwill and other impairment reduced by $373 million to $476 million, with $333 million lower restructuring costs, principally a non-repeat of the prior-year retirement programme in Korea. Goodwill and other impairment of $322 million is $22 million higher year-on-year following a $14 million write off of the goodwill relating to Bangladesh. Furthermore, there has been a $308 million impairment relating to Bohai, primarily a result of industry challenges and uncertainties that may impact credit losses and profitability.
Page 10
Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
• Taxation was $1,384 million on a statutory basis, with a statutory effective tax rate of 32 per cent. Taxation on underlying profits was at an effective rate of 30 per cent, an increase of 3 percentage points compared to 2021 primarily driven by lower prior year credits and higher taxes in UK, Pakistan and US.
• Underlying return on tangible equity increased 120 basis points to 8.0 per cent due to the increase in profits and lower tangible equity, reflecting shareholder distributions and adverse movements in reserves due to movements in interest rates and currency translation. The reclassification of the 2021 Bohai impairment out from underlying performance increased the 2021 underlying return on tangible equity by 80 basis points to 6.8 per cent and has made the treatment of Bohai impairment consistent across both the 2021 and 2022 computation of underlying return on tangible equity
• Underlying basic earnings per share (EPS) increased 18 per cent to 101.1 cents and statutory EPS of 85.9 cents increased by 40 per cent
• A final ordinary dividend per share of 14 cents has been proposed taking the full-year total to 18 cents, a 50 per cent increase along with a new share buyback programme of $1 billion, taking total shareholder distributions announced since the start of 2022 to $2.8 billion

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
Transaction Banking income increased 42 per cent. Cash Management income increased 85 per cent reflecting strong pricing discipline to take advantage of a rising interest rate environment. Trade & Working Capital decreased 1 per cent, with balance sheet growth offset by margin compression. The margin compression reflects a shift towards investment credit grade clients and a shift in product mix towards lower margin but more RWA-efficient products.
Financial Markets income increased 21 per cent and was a record performance. Macro trading increased 40 per cent with FX income delivering strong double-digit growth as macro events led to increased client demand and elevated volatility, widening bid-offer spreads. Commodities also delivered strong double-digit growth, including a record first quarter, when it benefited from volatility in energy prices, while Rates also provided strong double-digit increase in income on the back of policy rates increases. Credit Markets income decreased 3 per cent driven by subdued market conditions in spite of a strong performance in Credit Trading. Structured Finance declined 17 per cent with lower fee income within Aviation Finance. Financing & Securities Services income increased 67 per cent, including $184 million of gains on mark-to-market liabilities and benefiting from improved margins in Securities Services.
Lending and Portfolio Management income decreased 22 per cent due to increased cost of funds and the impact of risk-weighted asset optimisation actions.
Wealth Management income declined 17 per cent as customer sentiment became more risk-averse in volatile market conditions leading to lower transaction volumes. There was a negative impact from COVID-19 restrictions, in particular in North Asia, resulting in a number of branch closures and lower footfall which negatively impacted face-to-face sales. Managed Investments income was down 39 per cent, there was a 6 per cent decline in Treasury Products income while Bancassurance income declined 6 per cent. Wealth Management secured lending income fell by a third on the back of client deleveraging. Net new sales remained positive albeit at a lower level than 2021 but assets under management volumes reduced on the back of negative market movements.
Retail Products income increased 29 per cent. Deposit income increased 157 per cent due to active passthrough rate management in a rising interest rate environment, partly offset by migration from CASA to time deposits. Mortgages & Auto income decreased 35 per cent reflecting margin compression with the majority of mortgages in Hong Kong reaching the Best Lending Rate cap. Credit Cards & Personal Loans income increased 1 per cent reflecting a growth in credit card balances, particularly in our digital banks Mox and Trust Bank.
Treasury income declined 47 per cent, reflecting the losses from structural and short-term hedges in a rising interest rate environment which offset increased yields on the remainder of the Treasury portfolio.

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
As part of the ongoing execution of its refreshed strategy, the Group has expanded and reorganised its reporting structure with the creation of a third client segment, Ventures, effective from 1 January 2022. Ventures is a consolidation of SC Ventures and its related entities as well as the Group's two majority-owned digital banks Mox in Hong Kong and Trust Bank in Singapore, reported alongside the current client segments; Corporate, Commercial & Institutional Banking (CCIB) serving larger companies and institutions and Consumer, Private & Business Banking (CPBB) serving individual and business banking clients. There was no change to the regional reporting structure.
Corporate, Commercial & Institutional Banking profit increased 31 per cent as robust Financial Markets and Cash Management performance drove 19 per cent income growth excluding positive movements in DVA. This was partly offset by a 4 per cent increase in expenses and a $469 million increase in impairments reflecting further charges in relation to the China commercial real estate sector and lower releases on the remaining portfolio.
Consumer, Private & Business Banking profit increased 30 per cent and was 35 per cent higher on a constant currency basis. Income grew 10 per cent on a constant currency basis with increased Deposit income partly offset by subdued Wealth Management and the impact of the Best Lending Rate cap on Hong Kong mortgage income. On a constant currency basis, expenses grew 3 per cent and impairments decreased $10 million.
Ventures loss increased to $363 million. Income totalled $29 million for the year, with an increasing customer base at Mox and Trust Bank. Expenses increased by a third reflecting further investment into the segment and increased operational costs to support the significant increase in customer onboarding and transactional volumes within the new digital banks. Other impairment of $24 million was taken in relation to the value of one of the Group's investments within the Ventures portfolio.
Central & other items (segment) recorded a loss of $571 million as income declined 71 per cent reflecting the losses from structural and short-term hedges booked within Treasury. Expenses increased 26 per cent while credit impairments were $112 million higher as a result of the ratings downgrades of select sovereigns.
Asia profits increased 8 per cent on the back of a 7 per cent increase in income. This was partly offset by 1 per cent expense growth and an 82 per cent increase in impairments reflecting increased charges relating to the China commercial real estate sector.
Africa & Middle East profits decreased 4 per cent but grew 4 per cent on a constant currency basis. Income increased 14 per cent while expenses grew 9 per cent, both on a constant currency basis. Impairments went from a net release in the prior year to a $118 million charge, partly due to the sovereign ratings downgrades of Pakistan and Ghana.
Europe & Americas profit increased by a third with a 17 per cent increase in income on the back of a strong Financial Markets and Cash Management performance. Expenses increased 5 per cent while the net release in credit impairment halved to $77 million.
Central & other items (region) loss decreased by $112 million to $608 million due to a 30 per cent increase in expenses. Income increased 145 per cent, while impairments reduced by 16 per cent.

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
Adjusted net interest income increased 17 per cent driven by a 17 per cent increase in the net interest margin, which averaged 141 basis points in the year, a 20 basis points year-on-year uplift benefiting from a rapid increase in policy interest rates across many of our markets :
• Average interest-earning assets grew 1 per cent, or 7 per cent excluding the impact of currency translation and risk-weighted asset optimisation actions, reflecting an increase in investment securities held by Treasury Markets. Gross yields increased 87 basis points compared with the average in the prior year
• Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 2 per cent, or 5 per cent excluding the impact of currency translation, reflecting an increase in customer accounts while the rate paid on liabilities increased 71 basis points compared with the average in the prior year

Asset quality remains stable, despite a year-on-year increase in the impairment charge, with an improvement in a number of underlying credit metrics. However, the Group continues to remain alert to an unpredictable and challenging external environment including pressures in the China commercial real estate sector, commodity price volatility and the impact of the Russia/Ukraine war. This war in part contributed to both commodity price volatility and the accelerated trajectory of inflation and interest rate rises across our footprint, which in turn have contributed to both an increased risk of global recession and the appreciation of the US dollar versus the majority of developed and emerging market currencies. These factors have contributed to increased sovereign credit stress in a handful of our markets which we continue to monitor closely and undertake mitigating actions where appropriate.
Page 15
Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
Credit impairment totalled $838 million, an increase of $575 million, representing a loan loss rate of 21 basis points, still some way below the historic loan loss rate range. Impairment charges relating to the China commercial real estate sector totalled $582 million in the year, including a $78 million increase in the management overlay relating to the China commercial real estate sector, which now totals $173 million. Sri Lanka and Ghana had their sovereign ratings downgraded into stage 3 , while Pakistan sovereign ratings were downgraded into credit grade 12. These sovereign ratings downgrades incurred a $283 million impairment charge in the year. The CPBB normalised run-rate charge increased by 9 per cent while recoveries in CCIB declined by a third. The above were partly offset by a $228 million decrease in the COVID-19 related management overlay, which now totals $21 million.
Gross stage 3 loans and advances to customers of $7.8 billion were 3 per cent lower, primarily as repayments, client upgrades and write-offs more than offset new inflows, including those relating to the sovereign ratings downgrade of Ghana and Sri Lanka and the China commercial real estate sector. Credit-impaired loans represented 2.5 per cent of gross loans and advances, a decrease of 18 basis points.
The stage 3 cover ratio of 57 per cent was lower by 1 percentage point, while the cover ratio post collateral at 76 per cent increased by 1 percentage point.
Credit grade 12 balances have decreased by 9 per cent to $1.6 billion as the sovereign ratings downgrade of Pakistan was more than offset by downgrades into stage 3 primarily as a result of Sri Lanka and Ghana sovereign ratings downgrade.
Early Alert accounts of $5.0 billion have reduced by 10 per cent, reflecting the net impact of regularisations of accounts back into non-high-risk categories, net impact of downgrades into credit grade 12 and exposure reductions partly offset by new inflows. The Group is continuing to carefully monitor its exposures in vulnerable sectors and select markets, given the unusual stresses caused by the currently challenging macro-economic environment.
The proportion of investment grade corporate exposures has increased by 7 percentage points to 76 per cent, reflecting the increase in reverse repurchase agreements held to collect.
The above balance sheet disclosure relates to loans and advances to customers. The movement in high risk assets (gross stage 3 loans and advances, credit grade 12 balances and early alert accounts) does not fully reflect the impact of the sovereign ratings downgrade of Ghana, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as it does not capture the impact of these downgrades on the Group's investment and securities portfolio.

1 Goodwill and other impairment include $308 million impairment charge relating to the Group's investment in its associate China Bohai Bank (Bohai). The 2021 comparative has been restated for consistency to reclassify the $300 million impairment from other impairment within Underlying profit to Goodwill and other impairment
The Group's statutory performance is adjusted for profits or losses of a capital nature, amounts consequent to investment transactions driven by strategic intent, other infrequent and/ or exceptional transactions that are significant or material in the context of the Group's normal business earnings for the period and items which management and investors would ordinarily identify separately when assessing underlying performance period-by period. A reconciliation of restructuring, goodwill impairment and other items excluded from underlying results is set on pages 41-45.
Restructuring charges of $174 million for 2022 reflects the impact of actions to transform the organisation to improve productivity, primarily redundancy related charges.
Page 16
Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
Goodwill and other impairment of $322 million includes $308 million in relation to a further reduction in the carrying value of the Group's investment in its associate China Bohai Bank (Bohai). To ensure consistency, the Group has retrospectively reclassified the $300 million impairment charge taken in 2021 on its investment in Bohai, from other impairment included in underlying operating profit, to goodwill and other impairment which is excluded from underlying operating performance. The remaining $14 million goodwill impairment relates to Bangladesh primarily due to lower economic growth forecasts and higher discount rates.
Other items include a $20 million fair-value gain relating to the sale of a property in Thailand.
The Group has announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives for its Aviation Finance business as well as the exit of seven markets in the AME region and will focus solely on the CCIB segment in two more. It is expected that the results from the markets and businesses being exited will be reported in restructuring from 1 January 2023 with prior periods retrospectively restated.

2 The Group now excludes $20,798 million held with central banks (30.09.22: $21,683 million, 30.06.22: $16,918 million, 31.12.21: $15,168 million) that has been confirmed as repayable at the point of stress
The Group's balance sheet remains strong, liquid and well diversified.
• Loans and advances to customers increased 4 per cent since 31 December 2021 to $311 billion. This includes a $24 billion increase in Treasury and securities backed loans held to collect partly offset by a $13 billion reduction from risk-weighted asset optimisation actions undertaken by CCIB and a $8 billion reduction from currency translation. Excluding the above, there was 3 per cent underlying loan growth, with growth in Trade partly offset by deleveraging in Wealth Management.
• Customer accounts of $462 billion decreased 3 per cent since 31 December 2021 as a result of currency translation. Excluding the impact of currency translation, customer accounts were broadly flat in the year.
• Other assets decreased 3 per cent since 31 December 2021 with a reduction in reverse repurchase agreements designated at fair value through profit or loss partly offset by an increase in investment securities held within Treasury Markets and increased derivative balances.
• Other liabilities were 3 per cent higher since 31 December 2021 reflecting an increase in derivative balances.
The advances-to-deposits ratio decreased to 57.4 per cent from 59.1 per cent at 31 December 2021 reflecting a reduction in loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repurchase agreement as a result of risk-weighted asset optimisation actions. The point-in-time liquidity coverage ratio of 147 per cent increased 4 per cent and remains well above the minimum regulatory requirement.

Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased 10 per cent or $26.5 billion from 31 December 2021 to $244.7 billion.
• Credit risk RWA decreased $22.7 billion to $196.9 billion. There was a $13.9 billion reduction in the CCIB low-returning portfolio targeted for optimisation, a $11.1 billion decrease from other RWA efficiency actions and a $9.9 billion reduction from currency translation. This was partly offset by a $6.9 billion increase from regulatory changes, $3.5 billion inflation from credit migration and a $1.9 billion increase from a combination of asset growth and mix
• Market risk RWA decreased by $3.9 billion to $20.7 billion primarily reflecting reduced standardised specific interest rate risk positions and changes in value at risk methodology
• Operational risk RWA was broadly flat at $27.2 billion

2 Change is percentage points difference between two points rather than percentage change
The Group's CET1 ratio of 14.0 per cent was 19 basis points lower than at 31 December 2021, but approximately 50 basis points above the CET1 ratio at 1 January 2022 when regulatory changes, which reduced the Group's CET1 ratio, came into force. The underlying 50 basis points increase reflects the impact of RWA optimisation actions and profit accretion during the year despite funding $1,258 million of share buybacks and an increased ordinary dividend. The CET1 ratio is 3.6 percentage points above the Group's current regulatory minimum of 10.4 per cent and at the top end of the Group's 13-14 per cent medium-term target range.
The regulatory changes which came into force on 1 January 2022 included the cessation of software relief, the impact from the IRB model repair programme and the introduction of standardised rules for counterparty credit risk on derivatives and other instruments (SA-CCR). In aggregate, these regulatory changes resulted in a decrease in the CET1 ratio of approximately 70 basis points by reducing CET1 capital by $1.1 billion and increasing RWAs by $5.7 billion. In the fourth quarter, further regulatory changes including the IRB model repair programme increased RWAs by $1.3 billion, reducing the CET1 ratio by approximately 10 basis points
The CET1 ratio was reduced by approximately 70 basis points from a reduction in reserves mainly relating to a reversal of prior year unrealised gains on debt securities as a result of higher market yields and movements in currency translation reducing both the translation reserve and RWAs.
Profit accretion increased the CET1 ratio by approximately 110 basis points whilst lower RWAs as a result of efficiency and optimisation actions within CCIB and Treasury, provided an approximate 120 basis point uplift to the CET1 ratio.

Group Chief Financial Officer's review continued
Ordinary shareholder distributions reduced the CET1 ratio by approximately 65 basis points. The Group spent $1,258 million purchasing 184 million ordinary shares of $0.50 each during the year, representing a volume-weighted average price per share of £5.48. These shares were subsequently cancelled, reducing the total issued share capital by 6 per cent and the CET1 ratio by approximately 45 basis points. The Board has recommended a final dividend of 14 cents per share resulting in a total 2021 ordinary dividend of 18 cents a share or $523 million, reducing the CET1 ratio by approximately 20 basis points . Payments due to AT1 and preference shareholders cost approximately 15 basis points.
The Board has announced a share buyback for up to a maximum consideration of $1 billion to further reduce the number of ordinary shares in issue by cancelling the repurchased shares. The terms of the buyback will be announced and the programme will start shortly and is expected to reduce the Group's CET1 ratio in the first quarter of 2023 by approximately 40 basis points.
The Group's leverage ratio of 4.8 per cent is approximately 10 basis points lower than the 4.9 per cent ratio as at 31 December 2021. This reflects lower Tier 1 capital partly offset by a decrease in leverage exposures largely driven by efficiency and optimisation initiatives. The Group's leverage ratio remains significantly above its current minimum requirement of 3.7 per cent.
Outlook
Our performance has been strong, and the pace of economic recovery in many of our footprint markets is encouraging.
Whilst recessionary and inflationary pressures will continue to impact many parts of the world, particularly in the first half of 2023, we expect most of the markets in which we operate to continue their recent momentum with GDP growth in the Asian economies at above 5 per cent over the next two years being pivotal to progressive global recovery.
The recent opening-up of China and the generally receding impacts of COVID-19 should help in that regard albeit we will continue to monitor closely the sovereign risks in markets that are most exposed to tightening liquidity.
Overall, the markets in which we operate, the further benefits of rising interest rates and the evidential improvement in many of our operating metrics cause us to be optimistic about the period ahead. For 2023 and 2024 our expectations are now:
• Income to grow in the 8-10 per cent range excluding DVA and at constant currency
• Full year average net interest margin of around 175 basis points in 2023 and above 180 basis points in 2024
• Asset and RWA growth in the low single digit percentage range
• Around 3 percentage point positive income-to-cost jaws in 2023 and in 2024, excluding DVA and UK bank levy and at constant currency
• Credit impairment to continue to normalise towards the historic through the cycle loan-loss rate range of 30-35 basis points
• To operate dynamically within the full 13-14 per cent CET1 target range
• RoTE to be approaching 10 per cent in 2023
• RoTE to exceed 11 per cent in 2024, with further growth thereafter

• Accelerate our sustainable finance offering to our clients through product innovation and enabling the transition to a low-carbon future.
Progress
• Our underlying income is driven by our diversified product suite and expanded client solutions is supported by the rising interest rate environment. Our network income currently contributes to 57 per cent of total CCIB income with growth across strategic network corridors.
• Improved balance sheet quality with investment-grade net exposures represent 70 per cent of total corporate net exposures (2021: 64 per cent) and high-quality operating account balances at 67 per cent of Transaction Banking and Securities Services customer balances (2021: 63 per cent).

• We are half of the way towards developing our $1 billion income from sustainable finance franchise.
Performance highlights
• Underlying profit before tax of $4,100 million, up 31 per cent, primarily driven by higher income, partially offset by higher expenses and credit impairment charges.
• Underlying operating income of $10,045 million, up 19 per cent, with Cash Management in Transaction Banking benefiting from rising interest rates and strong Macro Trading activity in Financial Markets.
• Risk-weighted assets down $20 billion since 31 December 2021, mainly as a result of optimisation initiatives and favourable currency movement, partly offset by business growth and regulatory impact.
• Underlying RoTE increased from 9.6 per cent to 13.7 per cent.

Segment overview
As part of the ongoing execution of its refreshed strategy, the Group has expanded and reorganised its reporting structure with the creation of a third client segment, Ventures, effective on 1 January 2022. Ventures is a consolidation of SC Ventures and its related entities as well as the Group's two majority-owned digital banks, Mox in Hong Kong and Trust Bank in Singapore.
SC Ventures is the platform and catalyst for the Group to promote innovation, invest in disruptive financial technology and explore alternative business models.
Mox, a cloud-native, mobile-only digital bank, was launched in Hong Kong as a joint venture with HKT, PCCW and Ctrip in September 2020.
Trust Bank was launched in Singapore in partnership with FairPrice Group, the nation's leading grocery retailer, in September 2022.

Strategic priorities
• SC Ventures' focus is on building and scaling new business models - across the four themes of Online Economy & Lifestyle, SMEs & World Trade, Digital Assets and Sustainability & Inclusion. We do this by connecting ecosystems, partners and clients to create value and new sources of revenue, providing optionality for the Bank. SC Ventures is also advancing the Fintech agenda - identifying, partnering and taking minority interests through the fund in companies that provide technology capabilities, which can be integrated into the Bank and Ventures. Focus is on innovative, fast-growing, technology-focused companies which accelerate transformation in the financial industry.
• Mox continues to grow the customer base and drive main bank relationships across mass and mass affluent segments in Hong Kong. Mox's vision is to build the global benchmark for digital banking. It aims to be the leading virtual bank in Hong Kong for Cards and Digital Lending and continues to further expand services, including the soon-to-launch Digital Wealth Management services.
• Trust Bank is targeting continued strong growth, in particular through its deep and extensive partner ecosystem, and to establish itself as a scale player in the mass and upper mass consumer segment in Singapore.
Progress
• SC Ventures marks its fifth year anniversary in 2023. Some of the key achievements include building a diverse portfolio of over 30 ventures and 20+ investments. Our ventures processed $16 billion of transactions in 2022 with a customer base of 1 million. By working with strategic partners like SBI Holdings, we will accelerate the growth of Solv, the B2B digital marketplace for micro, small and medium enterprises and connect with a wider ecosystem across multiple markets. Our Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorised, institutional grade crypto businesses, Zodia Custody and Zodia Markets, commenced onboarding clients during the year.
• In 2022, Mox had a strong focus on expanding its card and digital lending services and recorded a strong performance and an engaged customer base. Mox has more than 400,000 customers, up two times year-on-year, and Mox customers had on average 3.1x products. Mox was named as the most recommended virtual bank in Hong Kong and continued to be the number one rated virtual bank app in Hong Kong on the Apple App Store.
• Within five months of launch, Trust Bank scaled rapidly to over 450,000 customers, equating to around 9 per cent of the addressable market in Singapore, and making it one of the world's fastest growing digital banks. Customer engagement was strong, with almost 7 million transactions made, and more than 400,000 digital coupons redeemed through the app during this period.
Performance highlights
• Underlying loss before tax of $363 million was up $102 million, driven mainly by higher expenses as we continue to invest in new and existing ventures.
• Risk-weighted assets of $1.4 billion have increased $0.6 billion mainly due to continued investment in new and existing ventures and minority interests.

Performance highlights
• Underlying loss before tax increased to $571 million with income down 71 per cent reflecting higher interest costs and lower realisation gains within Treasury as rates increased significantly throughout the year.
• Expenses increased 26 per cent with increased property costs held centrally and non-repeat of cost related cash flow hedge gains crystallised in 2021.
• Increased credit impairments driven by sovereign rating downgrades have resulted in an increase in impairment provisions of $113m.

Region overview
The Asia region has a long-standing and deep franchise across the markets and some of the world's fastest-growing economies. The region generates over two-thirds of the Group's income from its extensive network of 21 markets. Of these, Hong Kong and Singapore contributed the highest income, underpinned by a diversified franchise and deeply rooted presence.
The region is highly interconnected, with three distinct and potent sub-regions: Greater China, ASEAN and South Asia. Our global footprint and strong regional presence, distinctive proposition, and continued investment position us strongly to capture opportunities as they arise from the continuing opening up of China's economy, the growing connectivity of ASEAN, and the strong economic growth of India.
The region is benefiting from rising trade flows, continued strong investment, and a rising middle class, which is driving consumption growth and improving digital connectivity.
Strategic priorities
• Leverage our network strength to serve the inbound and outbound cross-border trade and investment needs of our clients, particularly across high-growth corridors e.g., China-ASEAN, China-South Asia, Korea-ASEAN
• Capture opportunities arising from China's opening, and accelerate growth in ASEAN and India/South Asia.
• Turbocharge our Affluent and Wealth Management businesses through differentiated propositions and service.
• Continue to invest and advance in technology, digital capabilities and partnerships to enhance the client experience and build scale efficiently.
• Support clients' sustainable finance and transition needs and continue to strengthen our thought leadership status.
Page 30
Supplementary financial information continued
Progress
• We have continued to advance our China strategy both onshore and offshore, with steady progress in capturing affluent growth, adding new clients through digital partnerships and growing international trade and investment corridors. In 2022 the China business delivered its highest ever onshore income while also growing network income strongly, with the China-ASEAN and China-South Asia corridors being respectively up 62 per cent and 21 percent year-on-year. Progress was made in the digital retail space with new partnerships involving JD.com and WeBank.
• Our two strong international financial hubs in Hong Kong and Singapore, which enable us to serve the three sub-engines of economic growth in Asia, continued to be the highest income contributors in the region. Income growth was driven by the Affluent segment and Transaction Banking, helped in part by rising interest rates, and also by Financial Markets.
• Execution of our strategy in the Greater Bay Area ("GBA") continues to be on track with the establishment of a solid cross border wealth management platform and strong growth in new economy sectors and in network business.
• The CPBB digital agenda continues to progress. Mox has the second largest deposit base among virtual banks in Hong Kong while Trust Bank, in partnership with Fairprice Group in Singapore, has onboarded more than 450,000 customers after five months of its launch.
Performance highlights
• Underlying profit before tax of $3,688 million was up 8 per cent, primarily from higher income partly offset by higher credit impairment from charges on China Commercial Real Estate exposures and the sovereign ratings downgrade of Sri Lanka.
• Underlying operating income of $11,213 million was up 7 per cent (up 12 per cent on a constant currency), mainly driven by a strong Financial Markets performance and an expansion in the net interest margin benefiting Cash Management and Retail
• Deposits. This was partially offset by lower Lending and Wealth Management income as market conditions reduced transaction volumes, as well as the impact of COVID-19 restrictions impacting in our key markets, Hong Kong and China.
• Loans and advances to customers were up 2 per cent (up 6 per cent on a constant currency), Customer accounts were down 3 per cent (flat on a constant currency) since 31 December 2021.
• Risk-weighted assets (RWA) were down $19 billion since 31 December 2021 as we continue to focus on RWA optimisation.

Region overview
We have a deep-rooted heritage in Africa and Middle East (AME), of which the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Ghana are the largest by income.
A rich history, deep client relationships and a unique footprint in the region, as well as across centres in Asia, Europe, and the Americas, enable us to seamlessly support our clients. AME is an important element of global trade and investment corridors and we are well placed to facilitate these flows.
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets are expected to outpace global growth on the back of oil price recovery, higher government spend and bilateral trade negotiations. The macro-economic risk remains elevated in Pakistan and some markets in Africa due to a high level of sovereign debt and FX liquidity challenges. Overall, AME's medium and long-term attractiveness remains compelling and intact, and it is an important part of our global network proposition for our clients.
Strategic priorities
• Provide best-in-class structuring and financing solutions and drive creation through client initiatives.
• Invest to accelerate growth in differentiated international network and Affluent Client businesses.
• Invest in market-leading digitisation initiatives in CPBB to protect and grow market share in core markets, continue with our transformation agenda to recalibrate our network and streamline structures.
• Be an industry leader in the transition to net zero across the region.
• Refocusing and simplifying our presence in AME.

Supplementary financial information continued
Progress
• We have strengthened our footprint with the approval for a banking licence in Egypt.
• We have once again led the AME bond and Sukuk markets in 2022, taking the top spot in the AME league tables and ranking #1 in MENA G3 issuance for the fifth year in a row. Our commitment to ESG across Debt Capital Markets (DCM) helped us almost double our issuance ESG volumes and brought the year's most innovative deals to market.
• On Sustainable Finance we have brought new ideas to the market, and supported our clients with closing market firsts and landmark transactions that are creating a strong reputation for us among clients.
• We have successfully launched end-to-end digital onboarding in Pakistan with embedded eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer), allowing clients to seamlessly open accounts from the SC Mobile App. We have also expanded our agent banking proposition to five countries, helping to drive financial inclusion by offering multiple touchpoints for clients to transact.
• We have expanded digital wealth management solutions in Kenya and UAE. Our micro-investment solution in Kenya has attracted 85 per cent new to wealth clients, while in UAE, clients have access to online Trade FX and online Equities.
• Broad-based growth in income across products, with Financial Markets at the highest level since 2015.
• Continuing cost discipline has allowed investments to continue through the cycle. Cost to Income Ratio lower at 64 per cent (vs. 66 per cent in '21) and Revenue / Headcount has grown 11 percent vs FY'21.

• Underlying working profit of $937 million (up 25 per cent on constant currency basis) was driven by higher income and disciplined cost management. Underlying profit before tax of $819 million (up 4 per cent on constant currency basis) despite higher loan impairment that is primarily related to provisions for sovereign downgrades in Ghana & Pakistan.
• Underlying operating income of $2,606 million was up 7 per cent (up 14 per cent constant currency) driven by growth in Transaction Banking, Financial Markets and Retail. Income was up 9 per cent (up 15 per cent constant currency) in Middle East, North Africa, & Pakistan and up 3 per cent (up 13 per cent constant currency) in Africa.
• Risk-weighted assets (RWA) were 17 per cent lower than December 2021, despite the impact of sovereign downgrades, due to continuing RWA optimisation activities and de-risking in markets with elevated macro-economic risk.
• Loans and advances to customers were down 14 per cent (9 per cent down on constant currency basis) and customer accounts were down 8 per cent (3 per cent down on constant currency basis) since 31 December 2021.

Region overview
The Group supports clients in the region through hubs in London, Frankfurt and New York, as well as a presence in several other markets in Europe and Americas. Our expertise in Asia, Africa and the Middle East allows us to offer our clients in the region unique network and product capabilities.
The region generates significant income for the Group's Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking business. Clients based in Europe and Americas make up around one-third of the Group's CCIB income, with three-quarters of client income booked in the network generating above-average returns.
In addition to being a key origination centre for CCIB, the region offers local, on-the-ground expertise and solutions to help internationally minded clients grow across Europe and Americas. The region is home to the Group's two biggest payment clearing centres and the largest trading floor with more than 90 per cent of the region's income originating from Financial Markets and Transaction Banking products.
Our European CPBB business focuses on serving clients with links to our footprint markets.
Strategic priorities
• Leverage our network capabilities to connect new and existing Corporate and Financial Institutions clients in the west to the fastest-growing and highest-potential economies across our footprint.
• Supercharge our Financial Institutions (FI) Franchise.
• Grow the business we capture from inbound trade flows from our east to west corridors.
• Further develop our sustainable finance product offering and risk management capabilities.
• Enhance capital efficiency, maintain strong risk oversight, and further improve the quality of our funding base.
• Expand assets under management in CPBB and continue to strengthen the franchise.

Supplementary financial information continued
Progress
• Strong growth of 20 per cent in global cross-border network business with Europe & Americas CCIB clients across key footprint markets.
• FI segment growth of 25 per cent, now accounting for 56 per cent of the CCIB business for European & Americas clients.
• Expanded Financial Markets Product offering in our German subsidiary to enable more inbound trade flow.
• Material growth in income from sustainable finance products and expansion of our sustainable product offering.
• Significant increase in high-quality liabilities diversifying the region's funding base.
• CPBB cost saving initiatives executed, with strong progress made in refocusing the Private Banking segment towards Ultra High Net Worth clients together with the successful migration of CPBB clients from London to the Jersey booking centre.
Performance highlights
• Underlying profit before tax of $863 million improved 34 per cent, driven by higher income and lower impairments. Positive income to cost jaws of 12 per cent.
• Underlying operating income of $2,353 million was up 17 per cent due to a strong performance from Financial Markets Macro products, and improvement in cash deposit volumes and margins across CCIB and CPBB.
• Expenses increased by 5 per cent or 9 per cent on a constant currency basis largely due to the increased Investment spend and performance-related pay.

Risk overview
Resilience despite adverse macroeconomic environment and volatile global markets
The macroeconomic environment was challenging throughout the year for a number of markets in which the Group operates. February 2022 saw Russia's invasion of Ukraine, impacting financial markets, commodity prices and supply chains. We had very limited direct exposure to either country, and we proactively managed risks that we faced through indirect exposure, and second order impacts, such as increased energy and food prices or disrupted gas supplies for our clients and customers, the impact from sanctions on asset values and investments some of our clients have in Russia. We also managed the increase in traded risks following increased volatility in other markets, especially credit and commodities. Regular stress tests were performed during 2022 to assess the impact of the war across the Group's portfolio.
In China, growth forecasts were revised downwards as it followed its 'zero-COVID' stance, exacerbating global supply chain bottlenecks. Pressures in China's commercial real estate industry remain with the timing of recovery still uncertain amidst recent government measures to support the sector. In the United States, the Federal Reserve announced consecutive interest rate hikes to counter inflationary pressures and hinted at more tapered rate rises in 2023. This poses challenges to some emerging markets, as their currencies weaken relative to the strength of the US dollar, by rising commodity prices, stagflation and tighter liquidity.
The impact from the war, tightening of global financing conditions and idiosyncratic domestic political and policy issues, have placed pressure on sovereign credit ratings during 2022. Within the Group's footprint, Sri Lanka and Ghana embarked on sovereign debt restructuring operations, while Pakistan has been adversely impacted by flooding and continues to face external financing risks in light of large external payments coming due, while FX reserves have declined. The Country Risk Early Warning System (CREWS) is the principal process for tracking a deterioration in risk indicators and has worked effectively during the year. CREWS is a triage system which categorises countries based on a combined assessment of the likelihood of a downgrade and the financial impact of a potential downgrade. Markets in the highest risk category are subject to enhanced monitoring of qualitative and quantitative risk triggers' and we have exposure management strategies in place for the highest risk markets.
We continue to scan the horizon for topical and emerging risks and collaborate with internal and external partners to mitigate risks as they are identified. Further details on how we manage topical and emerging risks can be found in the full annual report.
Asset quality has been maintained, though we remain vigilant in the face of volatile global markets. We continue to demonstrate resilience as evidenced by strong capital and liquidity metrics. Non-financial risks areas such as Fraud, Data Management, Information and Cyber Security, Third Party, Technology, People and Change Management remain heightened. We continue to enhance our operational resilience and defences against these risks through vigorous enhancement programmes. We remain vigilant of sovereign risks and challenges in the property sector in China and we continue to closely monitor and manage these across the Group.
For our Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking (CCIB) business, we have identified vulnerable sovereigns with triggers and have an action plan for exposure management based on such triggers. We have closely monitored our clients that may face difficulties on account of increasing interest rate, foreign exchange movements, commodity volatility or increase in price of essential goods. Stress tests and portfolio reviews are also done to identify vulnerable exposures. These exposures are then tracked through our well-established Early Alert monitoring process. Actions which may be required if geo-political risks occur are also tracked so that the Group could act quickly if these events do occur.
Page 46
Risk overview continued
For our Consumer, Private and Business Banking (CPBB) business, the key focus in 2022 was on the potential wider effects of the deteriorating economic conditions across our markets. While CPBB conducts its business mainly in local currency, the continued strength of the US dollar has an impact in our markets across Asia, Africa and the Middle East and we have been monitoring the potential secondary impacts of a decline in sovereign credit quality in some of our markets. For our consumer credit portfolios, we have been monitoring the impact on customer affordability through interest rate sensitivity analysis and tracking consumer price indices across our key markets. In our Business Banking portfolios, we have been focused on the risks to our clients associated with vulnerability to commodity supply chain issues, spikes in input costs and the effect of an overall decline in global demand. For Wealth Lending, which is secured by a largely liquid collateral pool, we have been proactively managing the portfolio through the continued market volatility and monitoring for horizon risks to the collateral, such as reduced corporate earnings in the event of recession. Where appropriate, we have tightened underwriting policies and collateral acceptance criteria.
An update on our key risk priorities
2022 continued to present a challenging risk landscape, however, we faced this from an intrinsically strong position. Our risk management approach is at the heart of our business and is core to us achieving sustainable growth and performance. We have made progress on our key priorities, these being:
Strengthening the Group's risk culture and conduct: We remain committed to promoting a healthy risk culture and driving the highest standards of conduct. Both risk culture and conduct are integral components of our Enterprise Risk Management Framework (ERMF). Our ERMF sets out the guiding principles for our colleagues, enabling us to have integrated and holistic risk conversations across the Group and the three lines of defence. It underpins an enterprise level ability to identify and assess, openly discuss, and take prompt action to address existing and emerging risks. Senior management across the Group promote a healthy risk culture by rewarding risk-based thinking (including in remuneration decisions), challenging the status quo, and creating a transparent and safe environment for employees to communicate risk concerns. We strive to uphold the highest standards of conduct through delivery of conduct outcomes, acknowledging that while incidents cannot be entirely avoided, the Group has no appetite for wilful or negligent misconduct. More broadly, we are continuing to focus on strengthening first-line Conduct Risk ownership, drawing enhanced Conduct Risk insights through the development of conduct analytics as part of the new Conduct Risk management standard. Furthermore, we have uplifted the Group Conduct Risk Management approach which has been achieved through a combination of providing better tools to enable consistent Conduct Risk oversight, increased engagement with the first and second line and targeted campaigns to improve Conduct Risk awareness across the Group. As Conduct Risk may arise from anywhere in the Group at any time, conduct outcomes should always be considered when material strategic decisions are made that may impact clients, investors, shareholders, counterparties, employees, markets, competition and the environment. The Group is also working towards complying with the UK Consumer Duty requirements for in-scope clients; these requirements set higher and clearer standards of consumer protection.
Continuous enhancement of our information and cyber security (ICS) capabilities and governance: We have refreshed the Group ICS Risk Strategy by updating our ICS Target Operating Model to increase focus on accountability, risk ownership, change management and executive empowerment. Our Board is regularly engaged on our approach to managing ICS Risks and we have appointed an ICS Risk Special Advisor to the Board. We also perform table-top cyber crisis testing exercises to ensure a consistent view on how to respond to cyber incidents.
To assess the security of our ICS systems and processes, our ICS capabilities include a formal process for internal controls testing, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (an authorised simulated attack on a computer system, performed to evaluate the security of the system). We continue to deploy the Threat Scenario-led Risk Assessment which enables a more dynamic threat-led identification and management of ICS Risk by our businesses. Our ICS policies and standards are also aligned to a number of best practice global guidance, and we remain watchful on proposed new guidance.
Our ICS training programme includes annual mandatory learning and phishing readiness exercises, along with ongoing thematic campaigns which highlight the most prevalent threats and risks that colleagues face. We also deliver regular Group Board training on ICS risks. In addition to general ICS awareness, colleagues in roles identified as critical have additional training linked to their responsibilities.

Managing Climate Risk: Managing the risks from climate change is a core element of our strategy and Stands. We have made good progress this year in embedding Climate Risk considerations across the impacted Principal Risk Types. By using the results from our scenario analysis, we are building a good understanding of the markets and industries where the effects of climate change will have the greatest impact. Climate Risk assessments are now considered as part of Reputational and Sustainability transaction reviews for impacted clients in high-carbon sectors, and integrated into the credit application process for approximately 70 per cent of our corporate client exposure and the physical risk identification of our CPBB mortgage portfolios in our largest markets. As part of our ongoing academic partnership with Imperial College London, we supported new climate research on the range of opportunities that exist for private investors in nature related investments and cross-sectoral implications of electrification of transport in India. Key focus areas for 2023 include establishing and clarifying the linkages between net-zero portfolio management across high transition risk sectors and the impact thereof on Credit Risk parameters, building and embedding our in-house Climate Risk models, training and education, and working with our data providers and clients. All of these support the Group's commitments made as part of Accelerating Zero.
More details can be found at sc.com/sustainability and sc.com/tcfd
Further details on our overall approach to net zero can be found at sc.com/netzero
Managing our environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk: We continue to advance risk management across the organisation in both our CCIB and CPBB client segments with end-to-end reviews of inherent risks and controls in line with our internal Environmental and Social Risk Catalogue. In keeping with our sustainable and transition finance goals, our risk management approach seeks to ensure that our Green, Sustainable and Transition Finance labels reflect the standards set out in our Green and Sustainable Product Framework, Transition Finance Framework and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Managing Financial Crime Risk: The Group is managing its financial crime risk within acceptable levels as assessed under the Group's risk assessment measures, including the Financial Crime Risk Type Framework, Risk and Control Self-Assessments and assurance reviews. However, some issues in 2022 have required re-medial actions in order to avoid an unacceptable increase in Financial Crime Risk in certain areas. Russia-related sanctions have continued to escalate and are increasingly complex in nature to operationalise. While the Group has limited direct exposure to Russia-related sanctions, we continue to monitor and respond to changing sanction requirements. The Group continues to build and maintain partnerships with industry, government and the third sector to build consensus on effective efforts to combat financial crime and the damages it causes.
More information about the Group's commitment to fighting financial crime can be found at sc.com/fightingfinancialcrime
Technology and Innovation: Our technology capabilities are delivering our strategy of being a digital driven second-line of defence function, supporting first-line driven risk management processes. We have expanded our Climate Risk reporting capabilities and integrated ESG factors to help streamline risk assessment across the client lifecycle. We have automated the model development lifecycle with a digitised model inventory and approval workflow, and have deployed a single platform to support standardised model creation, review and validation. We have continued to expand our Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance with automated workflows in Operational Risk, Business Continuity, Assurance, and BCBS 239 assessments and peer reviews. Policy documentation management has been transitioned to a new platform and a significantly improved user experience. The Group Risk assessment process has been transitioned to a Big Data technology stack that utilises data more effectively and improves assessment turnaround time. We continue to build more intelligence into our self-service and case management tooling. The ASK Compliance platform serves as a single portal, where the first line of defence and our employees get answers to simple compliance queries using self-service tools, with an enhanced user experience launched in 2022. We will prioritise integrating relevant risk use cases into the existing self-service tools in 2023. Advisor Connect which is a configurable case management framework launched in Q3 2022 provides an auditable, consolidated view of cases and serves as a knowledge repository for the advisory teams. Advisor Connect is planned to be rolled out to prioritised group and country CFCC teams in 2023.

Risk overview continued
We continuously enhanced the country regulatory obligation management to improve the user experience. We continue to explore the application of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Application build through configuration and remain focused on streamlining the identification of new regulations through horizon scanning, tracking amendments to existing regulations, and automating the mapping and impact analysis to policies and processes. Surveillance platforms are continuously enhanced with supervised model-based monitoring and voice and multilingual monitoring capabilities.
Digitalisation and technological developments remain key items on the Group's agenda as we pursue the execution of the Group's strategy. We continue to ensure that our control frameworks and risk appetite evolve accordingly to keep pace with new business developments and asset classes.
Embedding and strengthening Digital Asset Risk management capabilities: The Group recognises the increasing prevalence of digital asset activity and associated risks. At present, the Group has very limited, and immaterial, direct exposure to digital asset related activity. Any potential increase in activity or exposures will be subject to detailed review and enhanced due diligence in accordance with the Group's Digital Asset Risk Management Approach. Notwithstanding the limited exposure, as a regulated global Bank with digital asset capabilities, we continue to strengthen our Digital Asset Risk management capabilities under the ERMF, with consideration given to learnings from existing initiatives as well as external market developments.
Our risk profile and performance in 2022
The proportion of the Group's gross loans and advances to customers in stage 1 has remained stable at $295.2 billion or 93 per cent (31 December 2021: $279.2 billion or 92 per cent) reflecting our continued focus on high-quality origination. Overall stage 2 gross loans and advances to customers decreased by $3.8 billion to $13.0 billion driven by CCIB due to exposure reductions and rating upgrades in Transport, telecom and utilities sectors, $1 billion decrease in the Energy sector, offset by increase in stage 2 in China commercial real estate. Stage 3 loans decreased by $0.2 billion to $7.9 billion (31 December 2021: $8.1 billion) primarily as repayments, client upgrades and write-offs more than offset new inflows, including those relating to the sovereign ratings downgrade of Ghana and Sri Lanka and the China commercial real estate sector. The stage 3 cover ratio of 57 per cent was lower by 1 percentage point, while the cover ratio post collateral at 76 per cent increased by 1 percentage point.
In 2022, we have seen a 10 per cent decrease in Early Alerts exposure (31 December 2022: $5.0 billion, 31 December 2021: $5.5 billion), reflecting the net impact of regularisations of accounts back into non-high-risk categories, net impact of downgrades into credit grade 12 and exposure reductions partly offset by new inflows. Credit grade 12 balances decreased to $1.6 billion (31 December 2021: $1.7 billion) as the sovereign ratings downgrade of Pakistan was more than offset by downgrades into stage 3 primarily as a result of Sri Lanka and Ghana sovereign ratings downgrade. The Group remains vigilant in view of persistent challenging conditions in some markets and sectors.
The overall CPBB portfolio remains 86 per cent fully secured (31 December 2021: 86 per cent), with average residential mortgage loan-to-value (LTV) at 44.7 per cent (31 December 2021: 41.1 per cent). The portfolio has remained resilient with overall 30+ days past due across our programme lending segments at 0.58 per cent, which is consistent with pre-pandemic credit performance.
The percentage of investment-grade corporate exposure has also increased to 76 per cent compared with 69 per cent from 31 December 2021, reflecting the increase in reverse repurchase agreements held to collect and some increase in exposures to investment grade clients. Exposure to our top 20 corporate clients as a percentage of Tier 1 capital has increased to 65 per cent (31 December 2021: 61 per cent), driven by increased exposure to investment grade clients.

The Group's ongoing credit impairment was a net charge of $838 million (31 December 2021: $263 million), including a $83 million charge split across CCIB and Central and other items segments relating to sovereign ratings downgrade of Pakistan into credit grade 12. The impairment charge includes $582 million in relation to China commercial real estate sector and $283 million in relation to sovereign downgrades, partly offset by releases in the management overlay relating to COVID-19.
CCIB stage 1 and 2 impairments of $148 million are driven by China commercial real estate downgrades, including a $78 million increase for China commercial real estate overlay and sovereign downgrades in Africa and the Middle East which is offset by a $102 million full release of COVID-19 overlay. Stage 3 impairment of $279 million is largely from China Commercial Real Estate downgrades, clients' rating changes due to the Sri Lanka and Ghana sovereign rating downgrade, offset by releases and repayments of a few notable clients.
CPBB charge decreased by $20 million to $262 million (31 December 2021: $282 million). Stage 1 and 2 charge increased by $121 million to $150 million (31 December 2021: $29 million). Stage 3 charge decreased by $141 million to $112 million (31 December 2021: $253 million) as markets returned to normalised flows following the expiry of the majority of COVID-19 relief schemes in 2021. In 2022, there were increased charges for Korea and Taiwan due to worsening macroeconomic forecasts, as well as China due to portfolio maturity and book growth. This was offset by a net release of $110 million (31 December 2021: $15 million) in management overlays and a $25 million release from significant increase in credit risk methodology changes and model updates largely in the Asia region.
Ventures impairment charge increased by $13 million to $16 million (31 December 2021: $3 million) due to book growth in Mox Bank and Trust Bank Singapore.
Central and other items stage 1 and 2 impairments of $95 million were driven by the sovereign downgrades in Asia. Stage 3 impairment charge of $38 million was driven by the sovereign rating downgrade of Ghana and Sri Lanka.

1 Following the increased strategic importance and reporting of Ventures to management, this has been established as a separate operating segment from 1 January 2022. Prior period has been restated
The average level of total trading and non-trading Value at Risk (VaR) in 2022 was $52.5 million, 4.2 per cent lower than 2021 ($54.8 million). The actual level of total trading and non-trading VaR as at the end of the 2022 was $55.8 million, 28.6 per cent higher than 2021 ($43.4 million), due to an increase in market volatility in H2 2022, driven by a number of Central Banks increasing interest rates to curb inflation.
Our Group liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) is 147 per cent (31 December 2021: 143 per cent) with a surplus to both Risk Appetite and regulatory requirements. The Group's advances-to-deposits ratio has decreased from 59.1 per cent to 57.4 per cent, driven by a reduction of 2 per cent in our customer deposits and 5 per cent in customer loans and advances.
Our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is 14.0 per cent (31 December 2021: 14.1 per cent). Further details can be found in the Capital Review section.

An update on our risk management approach
Our ERMF outlines how we manage risk across the Group, as well as at branch and subsidiary level1. It gives us the structure to manage existing risks effectively in line with our Risk Appetite, as well as allowing for holistic risk identification.
Principal and Integrated Risk Types
Principal risks are risks inherent in our strategy and business model. These are formally defined in our ERMF which provides a structure for monitoring and controlling these risks through the Board-approved Risk Appetite. We will not compromise adherence to our Risk Appetite in order to pursue revenue growth or higher returns. The table below provides an overview of the Group's principal and integrated risks and risk appetite statement. In addition to principal risks, the Group has defined a Risk Appetite Statement for Climate Risk.
|
Principal Risk Types |
Risk Appetite Statement |
|
Credit Risk |
The Group manages its credit exposures following the principle of diversification across products, geographies, client segments and industry sectors. |
|
Traded Risk |
The Group should control its financial markets activities to ensure that Traded Risk losses do not cause material damage to the Group's franchise. |
|
Treasury Risk |
The Group should maintain sufficient capital, liquidity and funding to support its operations, and an interest rate profile ensuring that the reductions in earnings or value from movements in interest rates impacting banking book items do not cause material damage to the Group's franchise. In addition, the Group should ensure its Pension plans are adequately funded. |
|
Operational and Technology Risk |
The Group aims to control Operational and Technology Risks to ensure that operational losses (financial or reputational), including any related to conduct of business matters, do not cause material damage to the Group's franchise. |
|
Information and Cyber Security (ICS) Risk |
The Group has zero appetite for very high ICS residual risks and low appetite for high ICS residual risks which result in loss of services, data or funds. The Group will implement an effective ICS control environment and proactively identify and respond to emerging ICS threats in order to limit ICS incidents impacting the Group's franchise. |
|
Compliance Risk |
The Group has no appetite for breaches in laws and regulations related to regulatory non-compliance; recognising that while incidents are unwanted, they cannot be entirely avoided. |
|
Financial Crime Risk |
The Group has no appetite for breaches in laws and regulations related to financial crime, recognising that while incidents are unwanted, they cannot be entirely avoided. |
|
Model Risk |
The Group has no appetite for material adverse implications arising from misuse of models or errors in the development or implementation of models, while accepting model uncertainty. |
|
Reputational and Sustainability Risk |
The Group aims to protect the franchise from material damage to its reputation by ensuring that any business activity is satisfactorily assessed and managed by the appropriate level of management and governance oversight. This includes a potential failure to uphold responsible business conduct or lapses in our commitment to do no significant environmental and social harm. |
|
Integrated Risk Types |
Risk Appetite Statement |
|
Climate Risk |
The Group aims to measure and manage financial and non-financial risks from climate change, and reduce emissions related to our own activities and those related to the financing of clients, in alignment with the Paris Agreement. |

Risk overview continued
Topical and Emerging Risks
Topical Risks refer to themes that may have emerged but are still evolving rapidly and unpredictably, while Emerging Risks refer to unpredictable and uncontrollable outcomes from certain events which may have the potential to adversely impact our business.
As part of our continuous risk identification process, we have updated the Group's Topical and Emerging Risks (TERs) from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report. We summarise these below, outlining the risk trend changes since the end of 2021, and the mitigating actions we are taking based on our current knowledge and assumptions. This reflects the latest internal assessment as performed by senior management.
The TER list is not exhaustive and there may be additional risks which could have an adverse effect on the Group. Our mitigation approach for these risks may not eliminate them but shows the Group's awareness and attempt to reduce or manage the risk. As certain risks develop and materialise over time, management will take appropriate steps to mitigate the risk based on its impact on the Group.
The key changes to the TERs since the 2021 Annual Report are as follows.
We have added two new TERs: "High inflation and US dollar strength" and "Global economic downturn risk". This reflects that continued inflation and consequent rate hikes will impact global growth, with a chance of global recession in 2023.
"Energy security" has been broadened to "Energy security and shifting political alliances" to reflect those practicalities around energy security, that may reshape some political relationships, with a shift in power towards exporters.
"Supply chain dislocations" has been renamed as "Extended supply chain issues and key material shortages" due to continuing supply shortages and restrictions of some exports, the impact of Russia-Ukraine war and China-US rivalry, and the push for sustainable alternative supply chains.
"Social unrest" and "Adapting to endemic COVID-19 and a K-shaped recovery" are no longer presented as independent TERs; rather they are now considered as drivers for other overarching themes.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Considerations
There is interconnectedness between risks due to the importance of US dollar financing conditions for global markets, and the global or concentrated nature of key supply chains for energy, food, semi-conductors and rare metals. The Group is exposed directly through investments, or indirectly through its clients to these risks. While the main risk impacts are financial, other ramifications may exist, for example, reputational, compliance or operational considerations.
High inflation and US dollar strength
Inflation is now a global concern and a top policy issue in many countries which are experiencing the highest inflation levels in decades. Prices have surged due to a combination of customer demand and supply shortages.
The Federal Reserve's sustained fight against US inflation has led to US dollar appreciation against many other global currencies. This increases global import costs and debt servicing costs on US dollar denominated debt. There have been widespread price corrections for some asset classes. Some markets, especially emerging markets, have limited options to defend their currencies without causing other detrimental effects.
The operating environment is likely to be testing for the Non Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs) sector; segments within it could find it challenging to manage liquidity, credit, refinancing and market risk. The Archegos collapse of 2021 and the liability-driven investments volatility are the most notable recent examples. There are heightened expectations from major regulators with regard to the management of NBFI risks.
Price inflation for essential goods, such as food and fuel has prompted a cost-of-living crisis across both developed and emerging markets in which the Group operates. This has sparked social unrest in some countries, with a heightened risk in emerging markets which experience disproportionate effects. However, the impact is felt across a wider bracket, including the vast global middle class, which raises the threat of instability, even in traditionally less volatile countries.
Page 53
Risk overview continued
Global economic downturn risk
Continued tightening of monetary policy to combat inflation in developed markets has contributed to the possibility of a global recession in 2023. Higher rates could increase debt distress levels across both developed and emerging economies.
Global growth slowed to 3.4 per cent in 2022, with the outlook for 2023 growth remaining muted at 2.9 per cent. Although China's reopening could lead to a faster than expected recovery, supply chain bottlenecks remain and severe COVID-19 outbreaks could lead to a reversal. Geopolitical escalation could also limit the speed of recovery, and supply chain restrictions may lead to deglobalisation and less efficient international trade.
The Group is exposed to downturns in China, such as observed turbulence in the property development sector.
Expanding array of global tensions
The Russia-Ukraine war has catalysed a fundamental shift in power dynamics with a demarcation of underlying political alliances. Pressure is mounting on Russia, which may lead to increasingly desperate military and political actions.
Relations between China and other developed markets, particularly in the West, remain fragile, with sanctions being imposed by both sides. Increasing technological restrictions and potential escalations in relation to Taiwan's sovereignty are among a number of flashpoints. Economic geopolitical actions could also escalate distrust, decoupling, and increase inefficient production, potentially generating further inflationary pressures.
Election wins for extremist parties in a number of countries are adding to increased vulnerability and volatility - especially as economics is becoming subservient to politics. Volatility in traditionally stable economies could cause further disruption.
Rivalry between the United States and China may have structural, operational and strategic impacts on business models for companies that straddle both.
Emerging markets sovereign risk
Emerging markets have been squeezed by escalating oil and food prices, high interest rates and the legacy of COVID-19 on key industries such as tourism.
Distress has already been observed across several of the Group's footprint markets, including defaults in Sri Lanka and Ghana, political instability in Pakistan, high inflation in Turkey, and issues across Africa, particularly economies that are sensitive to fuel prices.
For some countries with fragile governance frameworks, there is a heightened risk of failure to manage social demands, which might culminate in increased political vulnerability. Furthermore, food and energy security challenges have the potential to drive other social impacts.
Tightening of financial conditions in developed markets has also led to local currency depreciations against the US dollar, increasing debt servicing costs, and potentially restricting debt re-financing. Foreign Exchange reserves have already been heightened depleted in some markets, and local monetary policy may undermine already weak growth.
Extended supply chain issues and key material shortages
Demand and supply imbalances in global supply chains have become persistent as they are increasingly structural in nature. The main dislocations are linked to conflict and political restrictions on trade or investment. Repercussions range from companies that are a party in the particular supply chain, to end consumers and sovereigns.
Concentrated impacts to specific key industries such as semi-conductors can have contagion effects. Political wrangling over technological supremacy further increases the risk of market disruption and a retreat from globalisation. Potential targeted restrictions on semiconductors could lead to complete restructuring of global supply chains, impacting most sectors.
Page 54
Risk overview continued
This could lead to a shift in supply chains for the future, with increased contingency costs and production potentially moving closer to consumers. This is further compounded by increased scrutiny around the environmental and social impacts of supply chains.
Energy security and shifting political alliances
The Russia-Ukraine war has exacerbated an already strained energy supply model in developed markets, spurring a rapid pivot away from traditional supply lines. This came amid already increased tensions between nations as negotiating power shifted towards energy exporters.
Rising energy prices and potential supply shortfalls may cause a rise in social unrest, especially in countries where there is high dependence on energy imports.
In the wake of the conflict, a trade-off between pragmatism and environmentalism has materialised, with significant divergence as some countries have embraced the renewables opportunity while others have reversed, with rollbacks of green policies observed in some markets. Policymakers must balance supply and price pressures with climate goals, with a heightened risk of short term crises diverting attention and resources away from longer term required climate action.
Rising material costs will also impact renewable energy development, potentially slowing the transition. The Group's plans for sustainable finance business growth could be achieved at a slower than expected pace.
How these risks are mitigated/next steps
• We conduct thematic stress tests and portfolio reviews at a Group, country, and business level to assess the impact of extreme but plausible events and manage the portfolio accordingly.
• Vulnerable sectors are regularly reviewed and exposures to these sectors are managed as part of Credit Risk reviews.
• Sovereign ratings, exposures, outlooks and country risk limits are regularly monitored, and mitigating actions taken as required.
• Exposures that may result in material credit impairment and increased risk-weighted assets are closely monitored and managed.
• We utilise Credit Risk mitigation techniques including credit insurance and collateral.
• We track the participation of our footprint countries in G20's Common Framework Agreement and Debt Service Suspension Initiative for Debt Treatments and the associated exposure.
• We remains vigilant in monitoring geopolitical relationships. Increased scrutiny is applied when onboarding clients in sensitive industries and in ensuring compliance with sanctions.
Environmental and Social Considerations
ESG stakeholder expectations
Environmental targets are becoming embedded in global business models, with increased pressure to set ambitious sustainability goals or apply more restrictions on financing to sensitive sectors.
There is also an increase in stakeholder expectations around fair and balanced disclosures, including marketing campaigns. Scrutiny around greenwashing has accelerated with various regulatory developments, such as the Financial Conduct Authority's consultation on anti-greenwashing rules.
There is fragmentation in the pace and scale of adoption and regulation around the world, which adds complexity in managing a global business. Fragmentation in ESG taxonomies may also lead to unintended consequences, including misallocation of capital, political and litigation risks.
Page 55
Risk overview continued
Human rights concerns are increasing in focus with scope expanding beyond direct abuses to cover other areas such as data management, technological advancement, and supply chains.
There are risks if the Group is required to adapt to new fragmented regulations quickly, as well as meeting publicly stated sustainability goals and helping clients transition.
How these risks are mitigated/next steps
• Increased scrutiny is applied to environmental and social standards when providing services to clients.
• We monitor regulatory developments in relation to sustainable finance and ESG risk management and provide feedback on consultations bilaterally and through industry groups on emerging topics.
• We focus on minimising our environmental impact and embedding our values through our Position Statements for sensitive sectors and a list of prohibited activities that the Group will not finance.
• We are integrating the management of greenwashing risks into our Reputational and Sustainability Risk Type Framework, policies and standards. Green, Sustainable and Transition Finance labels for products, clients and transactions reflect the standards set out in our Green and Sustainable Product Framework, Transition Finance Framework and TCFD reporting. We regularly review these frameworks and annually obtain external verification on the Sustainable Finance asset pool.
• The Group is committed to respecting universal human rights and we assess our clients and suppliers against various international principles, as well as through our social safeguards and supplier charter. More details can be found in our Modern Slavery Statement and Human Rights Position Statement.
• Detailed portfolio reviews and stress tests are conducted to test resilience to climate-related risks, in line with applicable regulatory requirements.
• Work is under way to embed Climate Risk considerations across all relevant Principal Risk Types. This includes stress testing/scenario analysis, integration of client Climate Risk assessments within the Credit process, building an internal modelling capability and linkages with our net zero targets to understand the financial risks and opportunities from climate change.
Technological Considerations
Data and Digital
Regulatory requirements and client expectations relating to data management and quality, including data protection and privacy, data sovereignty, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the ethical use of data are increasing. Regulation is also becoming more fragmented and complex, requiring more resources to ensure ongoing compliance.
Geopolitical tensions have added impetus to data sovereignty legislation, sometimes extraterritorial in nature. There can also be conflicting guidance within the same jurisdiction. There is heightened focus on economic sanctions and financial crime controls, reinforcing the need for robust control frameworks.
Data protection risks are increasingly driven by highly organised and sophisticated threat actors, with developments such as ransomware available as a service.
Data is becoming more concentrated in the hands of governments and big private companies, with relatively few providers of new technologies such as cloud services. Some third parties are reluctant to disclose AI model details, citing intellectual property, which increases model risk.
A balance between resilience and agility is required, as new technologies are onboarded while existing systems are maintained. Clear ownership, frameworks and oversight of new technologies is also required.
Page 56
Risk overview continued
How these risks are mitigated/next steps
• We monitor regulatory developments in relation to all aspects of data management, taking into account country specific requirements. We take a holistic view across data risks to facilitate an efficient and comprehensive risk control environment.
• We have established a Data Management and Privacy Operations team to assist with compliance with data management regulations. This includes a dedicated AI governance forum which includes review of third party solutions.
• We have an inflight programme of work to drive compliance to BCBS 239 requirements on effective risk data aggregation and risk reporting.
• We continue to deliver new controls and capabilities to increase our ability to identify, detect, protect and respond to ICS threats.
New business structures, channels and competition
Failure to harness new technologies and new business models would place banks at a competitive disadvantage. However, these innovations require specialist skills, present new vectors for threats to materialise and require robust risk assessment accordingly. Differing access to new developments will also cause divergence and inequality to grow across countries and social groups.
Digital assets are gaining adoption and linked business models continue to increase in prominence. These present material opportunities for businesses and consumers, as well as potential risks as the space evolves, as evidenced by the collapse of Futures Exchange (FTX) and other recent events, further exacerbating digital asset market volatility.
Increasing use of partnerships and alliances increases exposure to third-party risk. There is also risk of inadequate risk assessments of new and unfamiliar activities.
How these risks are mitigated/next steps
• We monitor emerging trends, opportunities and risk developments in technology that may have implications for the banking sector.
• Enhanced digital capabilities have been rolled out in CPBB, particularly around onboarding, sales, and marketing.
• A Digital Asset Risk Management Approach and policy has been implemented. This is regularly updated in response to evolving digital assets market activity.
• Strategic partnerships and alliances are being set up with Fintechs to enhance our competitiveness.
People Considerations
Talent pool of the future
The expectations of the workforce, especially skilled workers, are significantly shifting. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated changes on how people work, connect and collaborate, with expectations on flexible working now a given. The focus is increasingly on 'what' work people do and 'how' they get to deliver it, which are becoming differentiators in the war for future skills. There is greater desire to seek meaning and personal fulfilment at work that is aligned to individual purpose.
These trends are even more distinct among Millennials and Gen Zs who make up an increasing proportion of the global talent pool, and as digital natives also possess the attributes and skills we seek to pursue our strategy.
With attrition increasing year on year, to sustainably attract, grow and retain talent, we must continue to invest in and further strengthen our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), through both firm-wide interventions as well as targeted action.
Page 57
Risk overview continued
How these risks are mitigated/next steps
• Our culture and EVP work is designed to address the emerging expectations of the diverse talent we seek. The quarterly Brand and Culture Dashboard monitors our D&I Index and colleagues' perceptions of our EVP and whether we are living our Valued Behaviours. Local Management teams discuss the dashboard to identify actions, supported by a central library of interventions from across the Group.
• Our Future Workplace Now programme, which formalises hybrid working where suitable, has been rolled out across 43 markets, and 78 per cent of colleagues in these markets are now on flexi-working arrangements. We continue to monitor for potential people risks, and mitigating actions include hybrid learning festivals, watercooler moments toolkits, a social connections platform and people leader guidance.
• We are undertaking a multi-year journey of developing future-skills by creating a culture of continuous learning, to balance between 'building' and 'inducting' skills. We are deploying technology that democratises access to learning content and developmental experiences.
• To address our talent pool's increased expectations of us being purpose-led, we have published our Stands which guide our strategy.

The main movements in capital in the period were:
• CET1 capital decreased by $4.2 billion as retained profits of $3.0 billion were more than offset by share buybacks of $1.3 billion, distributions paid and foreseeable of $0.9 billion, foreign currency translation impact of $1.9 billion, movement in FVOCI of $1.3 billion, regulatory changes including removal of software benefits of $1.2 billion and an increase in regulatory deductions and other movements of $0.7 billion
• AT1 capital decreased by $0.3 billion following the redemption of $1.0 billion of 7.5 per cent securities and the final $0.6 billion derecognition of legacy Tier 1 securities, partly offset by the issuance of $1.3 billion of 7.75 per cent securities
• Tier 2 capital remains largely unchanged as issuance of $0.8 billion of new Tier 2 instruments and recognition of ineligible AT1 were offset by regulatory amortisation and the redemption of $1.8 billion of Tier 2 during the year

Financial statements continued
Basis of preparation
The consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of cash-settled share-based payments, fair value through other comprehensive income, and financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) at fair value through profit or loss.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars ($), being the presentation currency of the Group and functional currency of the Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest million dollars, except when otherwise indicated.
Going concern
These financial statements were approved by the Board of directors on 16 February 2023. The directors have made an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment has been made having considered the impact of COVID-19, macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, including:
• Review of the Group Strategy and Corporate Plan
• An assessment of the actual performance to date, loan book quality, credit impairment, legal, regulatory and compliance matters, and the updated annual budget
• Consideration of stress testing performed, including both the Bank of England annual stress test and a Group Recovery and Resolution Plan (RRP) as submitted to the PRA. Both these submissions include the application of stressed scenarios including; COVID-19 additional waves with the accompanying economic shocks, credit impact and short term liquidity shocks. Under the tests and through the range of scenarios, the results of these exercises and the RRP demonstrate that the Group has sufficient capital and liquidity to continue as a going concern and meet minimum regulatory capital and liquidity requirements
• Analysis of the capital, funding and liquidity position of the Group, including the capital and leverage ratios, and ICAAP which summarises the Group's capital and risk assessment processes, assesses its capital requirements and the adequacy of resources to meet them. Further, funding and liquidity was considered in the context of the risk appetite metrics, including the ADR and LCR ratios
• The Group's Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP), which considers the Group's liquidity position, its framework and whether sufficient liquidity resources are being maintained to meet liabilities as they fall due, was also reviewed
• The level of debt in issue, including redemptions and issuances during the year, debt falling due for repayment in the next 12 months and further planned debt issuances, including the appetite in the market for the Group's debt
• A detailed review of all principal and emerging risks
Based on the analysis performed, the directors confirm they are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in business for a period of at least 12 months from 16 February 2023. For this reason, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for preparing the financial statements.

The maturity distributions are presented in the above table on the basis of contractual maturity dates. The weighted average yield for each range of maturities is calculated by dividing the annualised interest income for the year by the book amount of debt securities at that date.
Average balance sheets and yields and volume and price variances
Average balance sheets and yields
For the purposes of calculating net interest margin the following adjustments are made:
• Statutory net interest income is adjusted to remove interest expense on amortised cost liabilities used to provide funding to the Financial Markets business
• Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss are classified as non-interest earning
• Premiums on financial guarantees purchased to manage interest-earning assets are treated as interest expense
In the Group's view this results in a net interest margin that is more reflective of banking book performance.

The following tables set out the average balances and yields for the Group's assets and liabilities for the periods ended 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 under the revised definition of net interest margin. For the purpose of these tables, average balances have been determined on the basis of daily balances, except for certain categories, for which balances have been determined less frequently. The Group does not believe that the information presented in these tables would be significantly different had such balances been determined on a daily basis.

The interim results will be announced to the London Stock Exchange, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and put on the Company's website.
Country-by-Country Reporting
In accordance with the requirements of the Capital Requirements (Country-by-Country Reporting) Regulations 2013, the Group will publish additional country-by-country information in respect of the year ended 31 December 2022, on or before 31 December 2023.

ShareCare
ShareCare is available to shareholders on the Company's UK register who have a UK address and bank account. It allows you to hold your Standard Chartered PLC shares in a nominee account. Your shares will be held in electronic form so you will no longer have to worry about keeping your share certificates safe. If you join ShareCare, you will still be invited to attend the Company's AGM and you will receive any dividend at the same time as everyone else. ShareCare is free to join and there are no annual fees to pay.
Donating shares to ShareGift
Shareholders who have a small number of shares often find it uneconomical to sell them. An alternative is to consider donating them to the charity ShareGift (registered charity 1052686), which collects donations of unwanted shares until there are enough to sell and uses the proceeds to support UK charities. There is no implication for capital gains tax (no gain or loss) when you donate shares to charity, and UK taxpayers may be able to claim income tax relief on the value of their donation.
Bankers' Automated Clearing System (BACS)
Dividends can be paid straight into your bank or building society account.

Important notices
Forward-looking statements
The information included in this document may contain 'forward-looking statements' based upon current expectations or beliefs as well as statements formulated with assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, projections, estimates, commitments, plans, approaches, ambitions and targets (including, without limitation, ESG commitments, ambitions and targets). Forward-looking statements often use words such as 'may', 'could', 'will', 'expect', 'intend', 'estimate', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'plan', 'seek', 'aim', 'continue' or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements may also (or additionally) be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by other factors that could cause actual results, and the Group's plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place reliance on, and are cautioned about relying on, any forward-looking statements.
There are several factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include (but are not limited to): changes in global, political, economic, business, competitive and market forces or conditions, or in future exchange and interest rates; changes in environmental, geopolitical, social or physical risks; legal, regulatory and policy developments, including regulatory measures addressing climate change and broader sustainability-related issues; the development of standards and interpretations, including evolving requirements and practices in Environmental, Social and Governance reporting; the ability of the Group, together with governments and other stakeholders to measure, manage, and mitigate the impacts of climate change and broader sustainability-related issues effectively; risks arising out of health crises and pandemics; risks of cyber-attacks, data, information or security breaches or technology failures involving the Group; changes in tax rates, future business combinations or dispositions; and other factors specific to the Group, including those identified in this Annual Report and financial statements of the Group. Any forward-looking statements contained in this document are based on past or current trends and/or activities of the Group and should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future.
No statement in this document is intended to be, nor should be interpreted as, a profit forecast or to imply that the earnings of the Group for the current year or future years will necessarily match or exceed the historical or published earnings of the Group. Except as required by any applicable laws or regulations, the Group expressly disclaims any obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement contained within this document, regardless of whether those statements are affected as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
