Structural drivers of demand remain intact

Slide 17

•Cautious on the short term economic outlook for the developed world and Europe in particular

•No simple solution for the structural imbalances and high levels of sovereign indebtedness in the OECD

•The longer term structural drivers of industrialisation and urbanisation in the developing world remain intact

•Commodities demand will evolve as emerging economies transition from construction to consumption based growth

•As a uniquely diversified resources company, BHP Billiton is well positioned for this transition
