Dear Colleagues,
As the year draws to a close, it is time once again to reflect on how far we have come and what we have achieved in 2014.
It has been an eventful one marked by uneven growth across regions as they adjusted and adapted to the changes brought on by the global financial crisis and its aftermath. We take some comfort in knowing that UOB has weathered these uncertainties by focusing on strengthening our regional franchise and keeping our customers’ interests at heart.
Our business in Southeast Asia has been resilient, fuelled by growing intra-regional trade flows and rising consumer affluence. And we have been recognised for our efforts including the award of a foreign bank licence in Myanmar, multiple banking accolades such as the Most Admired ASEAN Enterprise for ASEAN Centricity Award, and the Singapore Quality Award for business excellence. We know we are on the right track and I thank you for all your efforts in taking us this far.
As you know, we do not rest on our laurels and 2015 is not going to be an easier year for us. The competition is more fierce with our peers focused on integrating their acquisitions, increasing profitability and harnessing technology to sharpen their understanding of customers and business opportunities. The face of competition is also changing. We are being challenged by fast and agile movers from the consumer to the technology industries. Doing more of the same is not an option for us.
We must stay ahead of the curve and seize opportunities when the timing is right. And there will be opportunities for us not least with the economic integration of Southeast Asia. To continue growing, we must accelerate our pace and be prepared to make effective changes. We have just closed our budget session with a focus on key investments and fresh initiatives that will build upon the strengths of our extensive regional footprint, valuable customer franchise and strong credit ratings. I look forward to progress on these fronts in the coming year.
Timely execution is key in these times of rapid change, but this can only be achieved if we all work together. Empower and support one another.
My warmest wishes to you and your families for the festive season. Have a good rest, and let us look forward to the new year with renewed energy and vigour.
