Lloyds Banking

CEO Charlie Nunn said Lloyds expects a 'resilient but slower' U.K. economy with real GDP growth of 1–2% and outlined the Accelerate 2030 strategy aiming for mid-single-digit revenue growth, high-single-digit other operating income growth and a cost‑income ratio below 45% by 2030. The bank will invest about £13 billion annually for four years, seek a further £2 billion in cost savings and prioritize payments, digital wallets, AI and new business lines. Lloyds said mortgages and key lending portfolios remain resilient despite higher borrowing costs, while deposit competition has intensified and the group will focus on current-account share rather than unattractive time-deposit pricing. » Więcej na finance.yahoo.com

AI is a central part of the strategy: more than 40,000 Copilot licences have already been rolled out and there is an AI revenue target of £100 million for 2026.
