The African rankings SBM eNewsletter | Issue 05 | April 2010 estatus 02 ` resultats financiers Groupe SBM : Bénéfices de Rs 1,1 milliard La SBM a enregistré des résultats financiers encourageants pour les six premiers mois de cette année financière malgré des conditions économiques difficiles au niveau mondial. Ces résultats intérimaires pour la période se terminant au 31 décembre 2009 ont été approuvés le jeudi 11 février 2010 par le conseil d’administration de la banque, qui a réitéré l’emphase sur la diversification de la base des revenus. Fusion Les opérations de la SBM Lease Ltd, filiale en propriété exclusive, ont été fusionnées avec celles de la banque le 7 décembre 2009. Les bénéfices après impôt de la SBM Lease Ltd à cette date, qui s’élèvent à Rs 16.4m, ont été inclus dans les résultats semestriels actuels de la banque. Dans le contexte de conditions économiques difficiles au niveau mondial, les bénéfices nets de la banque pour les six premiers mois de l’année se sont élevés à Rs 1 040,2m (2008 : Rs 1 077,9m) alors que le Groupe SBM a enregistré des bénéfices nets de Rs 1 106,5m (2008 : Rs 1 257,1m). La réduction des bénéfices comparé à la même période de l’année précédente est principalement dû à une baisse du montant des dividendes reçues à Rs 134,0m pendant la période actuelle, aussi bien qu’une augmentation dans les frais d’impôt de Rs 31,6m qui comprend la hausse du special levy sur les banques. Le revenu d’intérêt net a crû positivement de 7.6% grâce à une gestion active des passifs ainsi qu’une croissance des foreign assets. Les devises étrangères et le fee-based income ont toutefois été impactés négativement dû à l’incertitude prévalant sur les marchés nationaux et internationaux. Le Groupe SBM continue à diversifier ses actifs et ses sources de revenus. Les prêts du Groupe ont augmenté de 6,7% durant le premier semestre de l’année avec une croissance d’environ 23% dans le segment international. Vu la situation de liquidité confortable de la banque, la gestion des passifs du Groupe s’est axée sur la mobilisation des dépôts à faible coût. Le rapport crédits-dépôts s’est ainsi nettement amélioré de 64% en juin 2009 à 70% en décembre 2009. La qualité du portefeuille d’actifs demeure saine avec les ratios relatifs aux gross et net impaired advances demeurant en dessous de 1,6% et 0,6% respectivement. Le ratio de capital adequacy du Groupe a été maintenu à 23,6%, ce qui est nettement supérieur à la limite réglementaire de 10%. Dividende Un dividende final de Rs 2,75 par action a été déclaré pour l’année financière 2009 et a été payé en octobre 2009, ce qui représente un payout ratio de 35% (2008 : 31%). « Alors que la situation économique montre des signes d’amélioration, la croissance du crédit devrait rester faible à court terme vu que les investisseurs continuent de faire preuve de prudence avant de s’engager dans des projets majeurs. Le marché devrait donc rester très liquide exerçant ainsi une pression continue sur les marges. Le volume des échanges pourrait également stagner compte tenu de la faible demande locale et internationale. D’autre part, la mise en œuvre prévue des projets d’infrastructure à grande échelle devrait stimuler l’activité économique sur le moyen terme. Dans le cadre de ses objectifs à long terme, le Groupe continue de prospecter les opportunités de diversifier ses revenus tout en développant la capacité interne en investissant notamment dans ses ressources humaines, » commente Rajah Ramdaursingh, président du conseil d’administration de la SBM.

Image de marque pluriculturelle pour la SBM La philosophie Equality & Diversity demeure centrale dans la stratégie de communication de la SBM.

SBM eNewsletter | Issue 05 | April 2010 estatus Understanding the Trust Mechanism and Keeping Ahead of Port Development Two themes of high socio-economic interest were chosen for the past two SBM Talk sessions, namely the Trust concept and port development. planning, asset protection, tax planning, off-balance sheet transactions, corporate finance/asset financing and securitisation.

SBM eNewsletter | Issue 05 | April 2010 estatus 06 economic update Economic update The global economy is pursuing its way out of recession. All developed nations are growing on a quarterly basis, albeit with uncertainty arising from persistent structural problems and other risks to recovery. Emerging markets are showing a relatively stronger bounce back supported by a number of drivers such as recovery in international trade, government spending, manufacturing, and to a lesser extent, consumption. It is interesting to note that latest reported growth figures have fared better than consensus estimates. The IMF has also noted that the global recovery is off to a stronger start than expected. However, sensing that the pace of recovery would vary Shailen Sreekeessoon Team Leader Strategic Planning & Research considerably, particularly across the G-20, the IMF has advised all countries to maintain policy stimulus at least through 2010 except those that would face the need to unwind stimulus more quickly as capital inflows surge or inflationary pressures build up. A relatively better external environment and accommodative monetary policy, supported by subdued inflationary pressures, should give a boost to prospects in the domestic economy, although the outturn could be below potential owing to a rather fragile evolution observed in our major export-oriented sectors. Selected growth rates (%) – Mauritian economy 2008 2009 e 2010 f 3.7 21.1 1.1 (excl. sugar) 7.5 3.0 3.0 Textile manufacturing 0.0 -4.0 1.0 Other manufacturing 2.4 0.0 1.0 11.1 3.0 8.0 Wholesale & retail trade 4.6 1.4 n/a Hotels & restaurants 2.7 -6.4 5.0 6.0 5.3 6.0 Financial Intermediation 10.8 5.0 6.0 Business activities 10.8 8.1 8.5 5.1 2.8 4.3 5.2 2.4 4.4 Sugar Food manufacturing Construction Transport, storage & communications Overall economy (including sugar) Overall economy (excluding sugar) Source: CSO A poll of 12 economists, conducted by Reuters, reveals analysts’ expectations for an average growth rate of 4.2% in 2010, close to the official forecast of 4.3%. The growth momentum is expected to be bolstered by the revival, albeit moderate, of traditional European markets, new visitors from Asia along with higher value-added sugar exports. Inflation should gather pace towards the end of 2010 but would remain contained. Moody’s has also recently come up with a better appreciation of the domestic economic situation commenting the resilience of the economy and the ability of public finances to absorb financial shocks in spite of the economy’s small size and relatively high level of public sector debt. The country’s openness and dependence on world markets, particularly the European Union, warrants a note of caution. In effect, should economic recovery in our main markets - notably the euro area, UK and the US - not be fast enough, it might be difficult to sustain domestic economic growth, the more so if government does away with the stimulus package at the end of 2010 as promised.

Les documentaires réalisés par Alain GordonGentil et son équipe, du Bihar en terre Indienne, sur les terres rouges du Mozambique et de Madagascar, jusqu’aux falaises de Saint Malo fouettées par la mer et dans la province de Meixian, mettent en lumière les courants d’immigration dont est née la nation arc-en-ciel mauricienne. parainage In line with the SBM 50:50 Matching Scheme, the Quatre-Bornes Service Unit team recently organised a fundraising activity for the Crèche Cœur Immaculée de Marie.
