LONDON--Barclays PLC (BARC.LN) said Thursday it is confident
2015 will be a year of "continued delivery" and is targeting 16.3
billion pounds ($24.7 billion) of savings this year as it continues
running down its non-core assets, its chief executive said
Thursday.
Speaking to shareholders at the annual meeting, Antony Jenkins
added that the priority is to continue to strengthen the company's
capital position.
"Although the global macroeconomic environment remains
volatile--a situation expected to persist through the year--we
believe that there will be greater clarity on regulation and on
several conduct issues during 2015. This will give us much more
certainty in predicting future performance," he said.
