Barclays 2011 Final Results

Financials - Performance Highlights

"I am proud of what our people at Barclays achieved in 2011. Against the backdrop of challenging economic and market conditions, we maintained our focus on clients and customers while supporting the real economy, as well as the needs of our shareholders, colleagues and the communities in which we operate. As a result, we have delivered a strong set of results, both financially and in terms of our execution priorities. 

Barclays universal banking model continues to be a competitive strength. Revenues remained resilient overall, reflecting the strength of our customer franchise and the balanced mix of our business. We have intensified our cost discipline while selectively investing in growth areas that support our execution priorities. We are not satisfied with the return on equity we delivered in 2011 and are committed to delivering steady improvement moving forwards. Our rock solid capital, liquidity and funding positions provide us with the flexibility and confidence to meet the economic and regulatory challenges ahead.

These results are further evidence of Barclays ability to execute on our priorities as we deliver sustainable long term value for all of our stakeholders."

Bob Diamond, Chief Executive
