We st ongl believe that Walma t is the best positioned global

Growth. Fi st, we continue to have agg essive g owth plans. I believe
that no othe global etaile can delive the kind of g owth that
Walma t can ove the next seve al ea s. In the United States, we
have conside able oppo tunities in majo met opolitan ma kets,
with innovative new fo mats and b making ou existing assets

so custome s can shop and expe ience Walma t when, whe e and
how the want.
Leverage. Second, we a e committed th oughout the o ganization
to leve age expenses and imp ove p oductivit . Ou goal emains
ve clea : we will g ow ope ating expenses slowe than sales and
