Meets our expectations and on track to meet full year guidance


  • ​​No surprises with earnings in line with our expectations, flat earnings over the year due to higher loan loss charges 
  • Preliminary CoR guidance of <60bps for FY 17e compared with c.55bps for FY 16e as NPL formation increases in its retail segment, whilst SME/commercial credit quality remains challenging
  • Growth remains subdued as balance sheet re-engineering continues, while deposit growth was entirely driven by its international operations during the quarter, making up for the government deposit outflow (tends to be volatile on a quarterly basis)
