Mr Smith said the focus would now be on building the ANZ brand as a stand-alone franchise with the intention of being a "leading foreign bank", both in China and India.

There was also the possibility of a market listing in Asia with interest in the bank's prospects prompting the first Chinese shareholders to recently join its share register, he revealed. The three other areas identified for a major push were institutional banking, wealth management and an across-the-board investment in technology.

史密斯先生说将要致力于使澳洲ANZ 银行成为独一无二的特许经营的品牌银行，并使其成为在中国和印度的“领先外国银行”。
他还透露有可能在亚洲成立上市清单，激励第一批中国股东加入他的股份。其他三个确定主要推进的领域为制度银行业，财富管理和技术上的全面投资。
