EBA's report to the European Commission on crypto-assets

The European Banking Authority (EBA) published its quarterly Risk Dashboard together with the results of the autumn edition of the Risk Assessment Questionnaire (RAQ). The NPL ratio declined to 2.1% and the stage 2 ratio contracted to 8.7%. Return on equity (RoE) was reported higher than pre-pandemic levels at 7.7%.

The decline in the NPL ratio (20bps QoQ) was driven by a 5% decrease in NPLs to EUR 419bn and was broad based. The NPL ratio for household exposures declined to 2.5% (2.7% in Q2) and for loans towards non-financial corporates (NFCs) to 4.2% (4.4% in Q2). The sectors more vulnerable to Covid-related measures continue to have higher NPL levels but have also shown improvement. For example, the NPL ratio of accommodation and food service activities decreased by 20bps to 9.5% and for arts, entertainment, and recreation by 50bps to 7.7%. The rising trend observed in the volume of forborne loans since the beginning of the pandemic halted at around EUR 383bn (2.0% of total loans).

Low impairments supported profitability which is higher than pre-pandemic. The RoE was reported at 7.7% (2.5% in Q3 2020 and 6.6% in Q3 2019). Cost of risk was 0.47%, substantially lower than at the same period last year (0.74%) and at the same level as December 2019. The downward trend of the net interest margin (NIM) stopped. Net interest income (NII) continues to be the main contributor to banks' net operating income (55.4%), yet net fee and commission income has an increasing relevance (31.9%, up from 30.2% in Q3 2020 and 28.5% in Q4 2019). The latter remains one of banks’ key target areas to improve profitability in future, according to RAQ results. The questionnaire’s results also show that the share of banks charging negative rates to NFCs continued to rise (60% vs 55% before) whereas the share of banks charging negative rates to households remains stable at around 15%.

L’operazione, dopo una fase di analisi preliminare e di selezione da parte della Luzzatti delle posizioni individuate dalle Banche, è stata realizzata attraverso un beauty contest dedicato rivolto a investitori istituzionali, promosso dal consorzio con il supporto dell’arranger finanziario Intesa Sanpaolo – Divisione IMI Corporate & Investment Banking. All’operazione, che è stata suddivisa in due tranche – una entro fine dicembre 2021 e una nel I° trimestre 2022 – hanno aderito 11 Banche, in gran parte azioniste della Luzzatti.
