Bank of Ireland Group (LON:BIRG) used its annual general meeting to highlight what Chairman Akshaya Bhargava described as a strong conclusion to the bank’s three-year strategy, while also setting out plans through 2028 amid geopolitical uncertainty, evolving customer expectations and rapid technological change.
Bhargava said the bank plays an important role for more than 4 million customers and remains integral to the Irish economy and society. He credited the group’s 11,000 employees, Group Chief Executive Myles O’Grady and the senior executive team for growing the balance sheet, maintaining lending discipline, managing costs and delivering returns for shareholders during 2025.
