Detailed SWOT Analysis of Standard Bank Group

 

Strength

1. Consistent value creation and returns for shareholders: Standard Bank Group has delivered consistent shareholder returns over the past several years. The results are commendable taking into account the challenging economic conditions in Africa marked by political uncertainty and weakness in asset prices. Dividend per share has increased by a CAGR of 13% from 2011 to 2106 while EPS has seen a CAGR of 10% over the same period. Standard Bank gave a Return on Equity (ROE) of 15.3% in 2016.

2. Strategic cooperation agreement with ICBC: Standard Bank’s partnership with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is an important strategic alliance. It serves the banks African and global interests and gives opportunity to provide financial services to clients in the China-Africa sector. The bank has also a funding agreement with ICBC for renewable projects in South Africa. Standard Bank’s Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) division has also developed a joint client franchise with the ICBC. Standard Bank is also working with ICBC on the internationalization of the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (RMB) which will increase its RMB dominated cross border capabilities. ICBC is also a 20.1% shareholder in the Standard Bank group.

3. Transparency Revised strategic direction with Africa growth focus: Standard Bank revised its strategic direction from aspiring to be a leading player in emerging markets to a being an established market leader in Africa, its home continent. In 2010, Standard Bank had $3 bn in international operations (23% of NAV) which was reduced to US$ 800 million (7% of NAV) in 2016. Africa region infrastructure and reach was increased considerably with number of branches increasing to 570 branches from 98 in 2010. The Africa region revenue has also trebled from R10 bn to R30 bn in the span of 6 years.

4. Strong core banking platform built for the digital journey: Standard Bank’s core banking program (CBP) across Africa is a key differentiator amongst its peer group. New implementations went live in Nigeria, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Swaziland and more countries are scheduled for 2017. The South African implementation will get completed in 2017 after the release of updated versions. Standard Bank has invested considerable financial and human capital into these implementations and the new platforms will help bank serve its clients better through the digital journey. The core banking platforms will also help Standard Bank leverage data analytics to understand customers better through a 360 degree customer view and thus improve customer centricity, credit risk and reduce costs. The CBP implementation has also enabled the roll out of integrated mobility platforms across the Standard Bank Group
