BHP's plan to divest the South African assets of its target Anglo American are key to the strategy behind the proposed takeover and is expected to be a part of any revised offer, investors briefed on the miner's thinking said. The "Big Australian" was rebuffed by its smaller rival on April 26 after submitting a $39 billion takeover proposal, in a plan seen as complex because it required Anglo to offload its shares in Kumba Iron Ore and Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) to Anglo American's shareholders before any deal took place. Anglo American owns 78.6% of Amplats and 69.7% of Kumba.
(Reuters) -ANZ Group on Tuesday unveiled a new A$2 billion ($1.32 billion) share buyback after the bank's first-half cash earnings largely met analyst estimates, but flagged its concerns about challenges in Australian and global economies.

(Reuters) -Australian bank Westpac raised its share repurchase programme by A$1 billion ($661 million) and declared a special dividend on Monday citing a strong balance sheet, even as its first-half profit fell 16% on tight competition and high costs. Traditionally beneficiaries of rising interest rates, the country's so-called Big Four lenders have spent the past year sacrificing margins to write new home loans and paying more to depositors, narrowing their closely watched "net interest margin". Westpac's net interest margin slipped to 1.89%, down 7 basis points from a year earlier, while net interest income remained largely flat at A$9.13 billion.
