Transcript signals
Bull points
- total loans were up 3% sequentially and doubled year over year in real terms, with growth almost entirely driven by retail lending, which rose 196% year on year and now represents nearly 52% of our total loan portfolio, an increase from 36% a year ago and 48% at year end.
- client-related net financial income rose 17% sequentially, reflecting the momentum in retail lending. Loan portfolio NIM improved 60 BPS to 21.3% in the period, benefiting from the growing share of higher yield products and a lower funding cost base.
- For the full year, we now expect to deliver real loan growth between 50% to 60% contingent on monetary policy. This compares to our prior perspective of over 60% growth.
Bear points
- our NPL ratio reached 2% this quarter, marking a normalization from historically low levels but reflecting concerns regarding credit quality as it increases alongside loan growth.
- we now expect the NPL ratio to range between 2.2% to 2.5% at year end, up from our original expectation of 2% to 2.2%, reflecting a higher weight of retail loans.
- Net cost of risk expectations now range between 4% to 4.5% compared to our prior range of 3.7% to 4% on higher share of retail loans.
