At the same time, the group will continue to advance our sustainability initiatives to support longterm value creation.

“While ongoing global uncertainties may continue to influence consumer sentiment and spending patterns, we expect underlying demand to remain resilient, supported by steady spending on essential goods, sustained in-mall activity and supportive government stimulus initiatives,” said Seko.

He noted that the group remains focused on executing its strategic priorities, navigating evolving challenges and delivering sustainable long-term value to our shareholders.
