Brent crude oil prices declined USD 2.4/bbl vs. the previous month, to USD 67.2/bbl, due to OPEC+ quota increases. In July, OPEC production hit its highest level, again, since November 2023. Our benchmark margin fell by USD 1.7/bbl in August, to USD 12.6 /bbl, but is still very high. Most petrochemicals margins weakened further.

TBC has announced GEL 346m in net income (before minorities) for 2Q25, up 8% qoq and 5% yoy. This was 1% lower than our EUR 348m estimate and 3% lower than the GEL 358m consensus. The group-level results were in line, supported by an 8% beat in Georgia (GE), driven by a 40bps qoq NIM expansion and the NII coming in 8% above our estimate. That said, our overall bias on 2Q25 is negative, due to a significant 44% earnings miss in Uzbekistan (UZ) (our forecast at GEL 58m, vs. the GEL 32m actual UZ n...

Brent crude oil prices were flat vs. the previous month, at USD 69.6/bbl, after disruption fears eased. A subsequent OPEC+ decision has made little difference at the start of August. Our benchmark margin increased by USD 1.3/bbl in July, to USD 14.3/bbl, a significant increase, which takes it to the highest level since February 2024. Once again, the less said about petrochemicals margins, the better, in our view.
