As for Soc Gen's "strategic plan", I always am very suspect when I hear the old "strategic review" from ASX boards. The point of having a board , management and meetings is to contiually asses and tune their strategy, not wait for a disaster to appear on the balance sheet before taking action.

Anyway, -0.2% annual growth for SG is what prompted this (according to the AFR), so its not a disaster, but recognition that lean times are ahead.

Market has to pull back off the Covid highs, then the 2019 highs, then the 2016 highs. Just so overdue for a correction, its almost like its thrown off the shackles completely and doesnt want to adhere to market protocol!
