The future

Despite competition from alternative channels in the bill payment market, agency services revenue recorded an increase of 0.8 per cent.

Overall revenue from retail business was slightly lower (3.2 per cent) than in the previous year. However, our profits increased by 7.1 per cent. This reflects a major focus during the year on introducing greater discipline to our stock management methods.
