а, с этапами. "Поэтапные стратегии" как-то не очень звучит. Может быть здесь как-то прояснится?: As a result, the Board proposes a re-basing of the 2002 full year dividend to 23 pence (2001: 38 pence).

From this new base, we expect to adopt a ***progressive policy*** of growing dividends by approximately 5% per annum, whilst looking to sustain a target cover in a range of 1.5 to 2.0 times operating earnings after tax, measured on a modified statutory solvency basis. |
