Cash at bank and in hand includes bank balances of $33m (2023: $51m) which are matched by bank overdrafts of $17m (2023: $44m) under the Group’s cash pooling arrangements. Under these arrangements, each pool contains a number of bank accounts with the same financial institution and interest is paid/received on pooled net balances for each currency. The cash pools are used for day-to-day cash management purposes and are managed as closely as possible to a zero balance on a net basis for each pool. Overseas subsidiaries are typically in a cash-positive position with the matching overdrafts, which are repayable on demand, held by the Group’s central treasury company in the UK. Accordingly, bank overdrafts are included within cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the cash flow statement. Cash and cash equivalents with restrictions on us e
