Capital returns

  • Barclays' diversified income streams position the Group well for the ongoing economic recovery and rising interest rates
  • Impairment charge is expected to remain below pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in coming quarters given reduced unsecured lending balances and an improved macroeconomic outlook
  • Inflationary pressures and planned investment spend are expected to result in FY22 costs excluding structural cost actions and performance costs being modestly higher than £12.0bn1
  • The CET1 ratio is expected to be impacted by c.80bps of regulatory changes which took effect from 1 January 2022
  • Capital returns policy incorporates a progressive ordinary dividend, supplemented as appropriate, including with share buybacks

1 Group cost outlook is based on an average rate of 1.35 (USD/GBP) in 2022 and subject to foreign currency movements |
