2. Access to cash
The majority of Group cash is held at the London or South African corporate centres. It is Group policy for excess cash balances to be repatriated to the corporate centres by way of dividends or deposits. The remaining cash balances are held by the businesses for local working capital purposes.
Cash held at the London corporate centre and certain businesses is primarily invested in highly rated, instant access USD-denominated money market and treasury funds. Cash held in South Africa is first applied inter-group and any residual cash is invested in rated money market funds, bank deposits as well as government bonds through repo transactions.
As the Group operates in South Africa, all subsidiaries of the Group registered in South Africa are subject to prevailing South African Exchange Control Regulations. These regulations are not expected to have a material effect on the ability of the Group to meet its ongoing obligations.
