  5. Including loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT 3.6 bn;

Net income decreased by 16.5% to KZT 74.9bn for 2Q 2020 compared to KZT 89.7bn for 2Q 2019 mainly as a result of increase in credit loss expenses.

 

Interest income slightly increased by 0.3% to KZT 180.5bn for 2Q 2020 compared to KZT 179.9bn for   2Q 2019 mainly as a result of increase in average balances of interest-earning assets. Interest expense decreased by 7.4% compared to 2Q 2019. In comparison with 2Q 2019, net interest margin decreased by 0.1% as a result of decline in interest rates on FX interbank deposits and increase in share of placement in lower yielding FX instruments.

 

Cost of risk increased to 1.0% compared to 0.3% in 2Q 2019 due to the additional allowances for expected credit losses reflecting the increased risk and uncertainty from COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown restrictions.

 

Fee and commission income reduction by 4.2% in comparison to 2Q 2019 was caused by decrease in fees derived from cash operations in 2Q 2020 due to the effect of COVID-19 lockdown, and as  a result of some fees on payment card operations became free of charge.

 

Fee and commission expense increased by 12.2% compared to 2Q 2019 due to growth of service fees payable to the international payment systems as a result of increase of non-cash transactions.

 

Other non-interest income(7) decreased by 85.1% to KZT 3.0bn for 2Q 2020 vs. KZT 20.2bn for 2Q 2019 due to net loss from derivative operations and securities mainly related to loss from revaluation of swap with NBRK and as a result of lower income from the sale of property by subsidiary SPVs.

 

Insurance income(8) for 2Q 2020 increased by 4.3 times vs. 2Q 2019 due to the growth of insurance premium on life insurance of the borrower under the Bank's new unsecured lending program.

 

Operating expenses (including loss from impairment of non-financial assets) for 2Q 2020 increased by 15.5% vs. 2Q 2019 mainly due to loss from impairment of non-financial assets of KZT 1.7bn in 2Q 2020 and loyalty program bonuses payable to the customers, which are included in operating expenses related to the advertisement starting from 4Q 2019.

 

The Bank's cost-to-income ratio increased to 28.2% compared to 21.8% for 2Q 2019 due to lower operating income in 2Q 2020.

As at the end of 2Q 2020, total assets increased by 5.4% vs. YE 2019 due to growth in deposits and total equity. Whereas, the decrease by 3.0% vs. the end of the 1Q 2020 was caused by revaluation of FX balance sheet positions due to KZT appreciation versus US dollar during 2Q 2020 and decrease in the volume of funds raised under REPO transactions.

 

Compared with the end of 1Q 2020, loans to customers decreased by 0.9% on a gross basis and 0.7% on a net basis. Decrease of gross loan portfolio in 2Q 2020 was attributable to decrease in corporate loans (5.1% on a gross basis) mainly due to revaluation of FX loans, whereas SME and retail loans increased by 8.3% and 3.9% on a gross basis, respectively.

 

As at the end of 2Q 2020, Stage 3 ratio increased to 15.7% from 15.5% as at the end of 1Q 2020 mainly due to impairment of a corporate borrower previously considered as the borrower with increased credit risk.

 

Deposits of legal entities and individuals increased by 4.1% and 6.7%, respectively, compared to YE 2019 mainly due to fund inflow from the Bank's clients and positive revaluation of FX-denominated deposits due to KZT depreciation in 1H 2020. As at the end of 2Q 2020, the share of corporate KZT deposits in total corporate deposits was 56.7% compared to 50.8% as at the end of 1Q 2020, whereas the share of retail KZT deposits in total retail deposits was 43.6% compared to 37.6% as at the end of 1Q 2020.

 

Amounts due to credit institutions decreased by 35.3% vs. the end of 1Q 2020 mainly due to decrease in loans under REPO agreements attracted in 1Q to provide current cash flows in KZT within the Bank's operating activities. As at 30 June 2020, 77.3% of the Bank's obligations to financial institutions were represented by loans from Kazakhstan banks (incl. loans under REPO agreements), KazAgro National Managing Holding, DAMU Development Fund, Development Bank of Kazakhstan drawn in 2014-2017 within the framework of government programs supporting certain sectors of economy.

 

Debt securities issued decreased by 5.8% compared to the end of 1Q 2020 as a result of revaluation of FX denominated debt securities due to KZT appreciation versus US dollar during 2Q 2020.

EME Macro/Strategy: dividends in EMEA – yield hunting after markets ha...

The macro backdrop entering 2026E remains broadly supportive for high-dividend strategies across Emerging Europe and the frontier markets, but the opportunity set has clearly narrowed. After a year of sharp repricing across the WOOD universe, the high dividend conditions of 2024-25 have largely disappeared, as a result of many sectors rerating materially.
