Financials Stock NAB held its AGM today, where it stated it expects a challenging 2012 as it faces a combination of volatile markets and subdued consumer and business sentiment.

CEO Mr Cameron Clyne said the group was committed to its strategic agenda, which drove a solid performance in 2011.

Mr Clyne also flagged increasing offshore funding costs which were placing further pressure on the bank's margins.
