The British company said it expects full-year like-for-like net sales growth of between 2% and 4%, and that it has so far this year seen a boost from sales in emerging markets such as India and China.

JOHANNESBURG, Sept 12 (Reuters) - The South African rand was little changed in early trade on Thursday ahead of the release of local mining output figures and an inflation expectations survey.
At 0600 GMT the rand traded at 17.8925 against the dollar , not far from its previous close of 17.9050.
The rand has mainly tracked global markets this week, including closely watched U.S. inflation data and its implications for next week's Federal Reserve meeting, but that could change on Thursday.
