Our super
regional strategy

Our super regional strategy

The rationale behind our super regional strategy is simple. It is about delivering shareholders long-term growth and differentiated returns through a balanced exposure to Asian growth.

OUR BUSINESS

Together, our franchise, our clear strategy and the actions we have taken have uniquely positioned us to ride the wave of growth in the Asia Pacific region and to create value for our customers and for our shareholders.

Today, ANZ is the only Australian bank with a clearly articulated strategy to take advantage of Australia and New Zealand's geographic, business and cultural linkages with Asia, the fastest growing region in the world.

WHERE WE OPERATE

In 2007 we set an aspiration to become a super regional bank - a bank of global quality with a clear strategy to focus on growth in Asia Pacific.

We had strong franchises in retail, commercial and institutional banking in our home markets of Australia and New Zealand, the Pacific and an existing but under-developed presence in Asia dating back more than 40 years.

With our roadmap for change, ANZ remained well capitalised and profitable through a time of great turmoil in global markets.

This has enabled us to take advantage of opportunities to grow and to make tangible progress towards becoming a leading bank in the Asia Pacific region.
