Increasingly they are concentrating on big ticket investment banking as the operating environments allow for greater product proliferation – Africa might not be considered to be core to their global strategy and their financial targets are thought to be less aggressive than in other larger non-African markets, they are here by virtue of history and their client bases z Nigeria is a noteworthy exception where all have expressed an intention to grow their presence 10 5 Who are our competitors We compete against two major classes of banks: Multi-national and Large Local z Large local banks – Increasingly these are becoming regional players and are expanding their footprint into neighbouring countries – Many are well capitalised with significant market shares, if not dominant – Provide significant competition to ourselves by virtue of their: ¾ Low cost of funds, expansive distribution networks, good government relationships, strong ties with top local corporates and increasing product sophistication off recent large investments in systems – Could be considered weak in: ¾ Treasury, Debt Capital Markets, Project Finance and Structured Trade 11 What is our offering? 12 6 Standard Bank Africa Personal & Business Banking Banking, investment, insurance and other financial services to individuals and small- to medium-sized enterprises Transactional Instalment sale Card products Mortgage lending Bancassurance products and finance leases ● Includes deposit ● Credit card ● Home loans to ● Instalment ● Short- to long- taking activities, solutions to individual finance in the term insurance electronic individuals and customers consumer products to banking and businesses market, mainly clients, through cheque accounts vehicles, and third parties, and utilising various finance of financial planning contact channels vehicles and services to equipment in the clients business market 13 Standard Bank Africa Corporate & Investment Banking CIB is responsible for all aspects of investment banking services offered to international corporate and institutional clients The combination of experience, diverse skills, product range offered and the substantial capital base of Standard Bank Group enables CIB to provide effective integrated investment banking solutions Global Transactional Coverage & Global Markets Investment Banking Products & Services Distribution ● Custodial Services ● Money Markets ● Client facing sales ● Acquisition Finance ● Transactional ● Forex activities within ● Equities Banking Corporate and ● Commodities Investment Banking ● Corporate Finance ● Trade Services ● Debt Capital Markets division ● Equity Capital Markets ● Interest Rate Sales ● Asset syndication & ● Project Finance distribution and Structuring ● Private Equity and ● Securitisation Specialised Funds ● Global Markets ● Structured Trade Research Finance ● Asset based finance 14 7 Standard Bank Africa Wealth and Life Management Standard Bank, via Liberty Life/ Stanlib provides investment management and life insurance products to the majority of our markets in Africa Offering a comprehensive range of long-term insurance products and services to both the individual and corporate markets Insurance Business Assurance Corporate Benefits Healthcare Committed to building long-term African relationships, developing creative solutions to problems and partnering our clients on the road to investment success Investment for Investment for Financial Planning Individuals Institutions 15 Standard Bank Africa Channel Strategy An integrated shared channel strategy across all products.

Of the countries in our coverage, we see only a handful of economies escaping recession in 2020. • Economic growth in Q2:20 contracted by 6.1% y/y, 3.3% y/y, and 3.2% y/y in Nigeria, Mozambique and Uganda respectively. The Ghanaian economy too contracted by 3.2% y/y in Q2:20, even worse than the 0.4% y/y contraction that we forecast for our bear scenario in the May edition of this publication. • The more diversified economies and those with large subsistence agriculture sectors could post mild, yet positive, growth in 2020. Most East African countries fall into this bracket. Egypt too might also avoid a technical recession this year. • However, Nigeria, Angola, Zambia and even Botswana, being overly reliant on just a few sectors to drive growth, will most likely contract this year. The only question is by how much? • Tourism-dependent economies will take a hit. We still don’t see any meaningful recovery in tourism until a global vaccine is at hand. The weakness in the tourism sector is mostly a BOP problem rather than a growth problem for many African countries. However, the service value chain that relies on a robust tourism sector too, will most likely weigh down growth in these economies.
