Weaknesses ( International & Local)

Zimbabwe controversy and raised questions about Barclays ethical

position: investors are increasingly concerned about ethics.? Large bonuses for Directors have attracted unwanted attention

from commentators, and speculations regarding bank financingpolicy.

Plans to expand in Asia were limited when Barclays were outbid forABN Amro in 2006, and alternative expansion plans have had to beadopted.

The bank does not plan to pay dividends on its shares until the

second half of 2009, making them less attractive to investors.: Very few branches in Pakistan.

Initial lay off of workers in the beginning of business.


22/26

.

Opportunities: (Worldwide & Local)

Barclayswas keen to acquire some of Lehmans( Lehman Bros.)

assets prior to its collapse: after the collapse, they have been able

to negotiate a better deal with liquidators which also allowed themto be very selective in which parts of the business they acquired .

The banks strategy is to offer a full portfolio of services worldwide,

providing a wide range of cross-selling opportunities.

Asia is still considered an opportunity for Barclays expansion, andoperations are being set up in a number of locations in which

Pakistan is one of them.


23/26

Welfare provision has decreased in many countries because of thecost to governments, and Barclays sees self-provision as anincreasing trend that it can utilize.

The court recently found that Barclays banking charges, which hadbeen challenged legally, were enforceable, thus repayment is notnecessary and charges can continue to be enforced.

Threats ( Internationally + Locally )

If the economic downturn is prolonged, acquisition ofLehmans assets could prove to be a mistake.

Political Instability in Pakistan. Cut throat competition in the market.

World recession


24/26

While offering a wide range of services provides opportunities,

there is also the threat that customers may prefer to go to suppliers

who present a more specialized approach.

Barclays acquired a reputation for closing branches because of a

high incidence of this in 2000, and competitors have been able toposition themselves as more consumer-friendly through a strategy

of keeping branches open.

The Asia expansion is seen as risky given that Barclays are in a less

strong position than banking industry leaders regarding

capitalization, and this may detract investors.
