Strong regional footprint in Eastern and South Eastern Europe

  • Attractive regional access and exposure to 10 countries in SEE/EE, with group headquarters based in Germany
  • Strong underlying growth dynamics due to
    • relatively high expected GDP growth 2021E, although temporarily impacted by Covid-19
    • GDP per capita still significantly below Western Europe
    • Loan/GDP ratio (banking sector penetration) markedly below Western Europe
  • Stringent governmental response to Covid-19 in place (e.g. fiscal and monetary measures, state of emergency and lockdown measures, moratoria recommended/enforced, eased liquidity and capital requirements)
  • ProCredit in a favourable competitive situation due to
    • Long track record and experience in SEE/EE markets
    • Strong reputation as "Hausbank" for SMEs, whilst SMEs are still underserved in most markets

In the medium term, assuming a stable political, economic and operating environment, we see potential for around 10% p.a. growth in the total loan portfolio, a cost-income ratio (CIR) of < 60%, and a return on average equity (RoAE) of about 10%.

Risk factors to guidance:

Include negative economic effects from further spreading of COVID-19, major disruptions in the Eurozone, a significant change in foreign trade or monetary policy, a worsening of the interest rate margin, and pronounced exchange rate fluctuations.
