Barclays achieves full deconsolidation of Barclays Africa Group Limited for regulatory purposes

Barclays announces that the PRA has confirmed its non-objection to Barclays fully deconsolidating Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL) for regulatory purposes effective 30 June 2018. Barclays has been applying proportional consolidation for regulatory purposes since Q2 2017. Barclays' shareholding in BAGL of 14.9% will now be treated as a 250% risk-weighted asset.

The full deconsolidation of BAGL for regulatory purposes results in a pro forma positive impact on the Group's 31 March 2018 Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of approximately 10 basis points.
