European G-SIBs Pulse Report Year 2020
A&M’s first edition of the European G-SIBs Pulse (“The Pulse”) Q4’ analyses eleven leading Europeans banks (of which ten are known as the European G-SIBs) and highlights the top performers based on three key areas:
- Business profitability
- Balance sheet resilience
- CO2 footprint estimation
In addition, we have added a ‘Merger & Acquisitions’ section with the objective of understanding the value and risk of all potential (and challenging) integrations in the European market. This report aims to help banking executives and board members stay current on industry trends.
All the data used in this report has been obtained from publicly available sources. The methodology for all the calculations is homogeneous and discussed in the glossary.
Headline trends for 2020 EoY include:
- Loans and Advances (L&A) decreased this year by 1.5% driven by households' loans drop, deposits grew at a 6.4% pace
- Net Interest Margin (NIM) decreased slightly to 1.07%, driven by yield on credit decrease despite cost of funds decrease
- Operating income margin also decreased driven by lower NIM and fees & commissions
- Cost to Income (C/I) ratio stable close to 65% as a result of the lower income and lower costs
- Non-performing Loans (NPL) ratio slightly increased. Cost of Risk (CoR) increases as well to 70 bps (x1.8)
- Return on Equity (RoE) and other profitability ratios show a significant decrease due to the increased provisioning for loan losses
- CET1 fully loaded ratio increased 71 bps to 14.2% driven by the dividend restrictions and a decrease in RWA
