With the improving economic environment, TNB's prospects for FY2010 seem encouraging. The Group continues to record strong recovery in demand for the industrial and commercial sectors.

However, the Group remains cautious of the challenges posed by the uncertainties in foreign exchange rate for US Dollar and Japanese Yen, and increases in fuel price due to expected increase in coal prices.
