We updated our model due to better 2023 results, better NII and risk cost outlook. While the Romanian reference rate is set to decline to below 6% this year, but NII could be higher compared to 2023 on stellar volumes and repricing could be slower on the asset side. Asset quality should stay benign but positive contribution to earnings is unlikely to be sustainable thus we project it to be 32bps and 47bps for 2024 and 2025, respectively. We also included the turnover tax for the 2024-2026 p...

Operating expenses were also up by 13% q-o-q partially due to seasonality and 8% y-o-y. Amongst expense lines besides PEREX, other operating expenses also increased substantially (+15% y-o-...
