THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
EXECUTIVE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Under the context of the demerger performed on 16 April 2021, Alpha Bank S.A. was renamed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A." ("Alpha Holdings") and has transferred its banking sector ("hive down") to a newly established credit institution under the corporate name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Bank" ). Alpha Holdings is the parent company of the Bank and retains the insurance intermediary activity and the provision of accounting and tax services to affiliates and third parties, as well as the issuance of securities to raise regulatory capital. More information are presented in the section ("The Hive Down").
Alpha Holdings has been licensed and is supervised as Financial Holdings Institution by ECB according to the provisions of article 22a of Law 4261/2014 from 18.1.2022. This license does not impose any other supervisory obligation on Alpha Holdings other than the obligation to ensure at Group level that the Group's supervised and consolidated companies comply with their obligations under Regulation 575/2013 and the rest Legislation on Financial Institutions.
The swift and strong recovery of economic activity in the 2021, recouped a significant part of the losses registered in 2020, as GDP at constant prices increased by 8.3% on an annual basis, compared to a decrease of 9% in 2020.
The European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Winter 2022) expects a further increase of 4.9% in 2022 and 3.5% in 2023. Furthermore, according to the latest projections by the Bank of Greece (Interim Monetary Policy Report, December 2021), the GDP growth rate is estimated to reach 5% in 2022 and 3.9% in 2023.
The steep rebound of GDP in 2021 can be attributed, firstly, to the strong increase of private consumption, driven by the sharp increase in savings accumulated during the pandemic and the significant gains in employment secondly, to the rise in investment, especially in machinery and technological equipment and, thirdly, to the higher-than-expected performance of exports of services, due to the remarkable recovery of tourism in the summer of 2021. .The rebound of economic activity in Greece in 2021 was in line with the evolution of the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI), which is a leading indicator of economic activity and stood at 110 points in December 2021, compared to 91.5 points in the same month of 2020.
Fiscal support remained in place in 2021, as the government adopted additional fiscal measures of EUR 17 billion, whereas the 2022 State Budget incorporates fiscal interventions, to address the pandemic impact of EUR 3.3 billion.
The Greek Government securities were eligible for purchase under the European Central Bank's (ECB) Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP), which contributed to the formation of favorable borrowing conditions. The decision of the ECB (December 2021) to continue buying Greek Government Bonds (GGBs), after the end of the PEPP in March 2022, is expected to sustain favorable lending conditions for the Greek State, as well as for the private sector.
In 2021, Greece has successfully tapped the international debt capital markets in January, March, May, June and September, through a 10-year, a 30-year and a 5-year bond issuances, as well as, through the reopening of all the above, raising in total Euro 14 billion.
In April 2021, Standard & Poor's upgraded Greece's sovereign credit rating by one notch from BB- to BB while maintaining a positive outlook. In parallel, the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) General Index recorded an increase in 2021, by 10.4%.
According to the 2022 State Budget, Greece's primary deficit (following the enhanced surveillance definition) reached 7.9% of GDP in 2020 and is estimated to drop to 7.3% of GDP in 2021 and 1.2% of GDP in 2022. Furthermore, the General Government Debt rose to 206.3% in 2020, before re-entering a downward trend, reaching 197.1% of GDP

(estimation) in 2021 and 189.6% in 2022, as a result, mainly, of the economic rebound.
Residential property prices growth recouped their strong dynamics in 2021. According to the latest available provisional data by the Bank of Greece, nominal house prices accelerated following a steeper uphill trajectory in Q32021, rising by 7.9% y-o-y from 6.2% y-o-y in the previous quarter and 4.3% in Q1 2021.
Inflation, as measured with the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), followed an upward trend in the second half of 2021, mainly due to the rising energy prices globally, the supply chain disruptions and the shortages in raw materials. In December 2021, HICP increased by 4.4% y-o-y, compared to -2.2%, respectively, in the same month of 2020, whereas the average index rose by 0,6% in 2021, compared to the previous year. In 2022, HICP is forecast to rise by 3.1% according to the the European Commission (European Economic Forecast, Winter 2022) and by 3% according to the European Central Bank (Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area countries, December 2021).
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in December 2021 was equal to 12.8% compared to 15.5% in December 2020.
According to the Interim Monetary Policy Report (December 2021) of the Bank of Greece, the Greek banks, in the first nine months of 2021, recorded losses, mainly due to the provisions related to the non-performing loans (NPL) transactions. The Capital Adequacy ratio for the Greek banks, on a consolidated basis, stood at 15.1% in September 2021, whereas the corresponding Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio reached 12.6%.
The private sector's deposits amounted to Euro 180 billion in December 2021, of which Euro 135.1 billion were household deposits and Euro 44.8 billion deposits of corporates. Net inflow of deposits by the private sector rose by Euro 16.2 billion in 2021, due to the increase of "forced" savings (due to lockdown measures in force in the first few months of 2021), as well as the increase of "precautionary" savings (due to high uncertainty for the future). In addition, the measures adopted by the Greek government to support the economy, as well as the rise in employment in the second half of 2021, contributed to the rise of the deposit base.
The outstanding amount of total credit granted to the private sector amounted to Euro 109.6 billion at the end of December 2021, while the annual rate of change stood at 1.3%. More specifically, the annual rate of credit to nonfinancial corporations stood at 3.8% in December 2021.
According to the latest data by the Bank of Greece, NPLs at the end of September 2021 amounted to Euro 20.9 billion, reduced by 26.3 billion compared to December 2020, primarily due to the loans' sales, under the state guarantee scheme regarding the securitization of the NPLs of the credit institutions ("Hercules" program). In terms of key quality indicators of NPLs, the total NPL ratio remained high (15%) at the end of September 2021. The respective ratio for mortgages (11.8%) performed better compared to business (15.2%) and consumer loans portfolios (24.8%).
The deteriorating epidemiological situation in the last few months of 2021, the emergence of new mutations, the emerging inflationary pressures and the geopolitical risks, are the main sources of uncertainty in the short term, which may slow down the recovery of the Greek economy.
The causes of inflationary pressures in 2021 were primarily the rising energy prices, the supply chains disruptions, which led to shortages of raw materials and increased production costs, as well as the increased demand, which was largely supported by the fiscal measures in effect, to address the negative effects of the pandemic. It should also be noted that the support measures - part of which was phased out in 2021 - are associated with additional medium-term fiscal risks (e.g. potential loan defaults for which the state has provided guarantees).
The geopolitical risks and in particular the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in early 2022, are further pushing energy prices upwards, due to the fact that Russia is currently the main supplier of natural gas to the European Union.
The Greek economy might be impacted by the geopolitical developments through two additional channels: the tourism sector (directly, as regards tourist arrivals from Russia and Ukraine and indirectly, through the expected reduction in the purchasing power of consumers in the origin countries, as a consequence of the increasing energy prices) and a possible disruption of the financial markets.
The accumulation of savings in the last two years, however, combined with the tax cuts and the fiscal interventions in effect from 2022, are estimated to partially offset the negative impact of inflation on the disposable income and therefore on consumption.
In particular, in 2022, a favorable environment is being created for a change in the composition of economic growth, which is expected to be driven mainly by the rise in investment. The increase of investment in the shortterm, will be determined by the evolution of the country's sovereign credit rating towards the so-called "investment grade", the disbursement of funds in the context of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centerpiece of the recovery plan of the European Union (Next Generation EU), with the aim to deal with the negative impact of the pandemic-as well as the implementation of structural reforms that will establish a business-friendly environment.
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) refers to the utilization of the RRF funds and incorporates investments and reforms aiming at the green and digital transition of the Greek economy, the strengthening of the infrastructure, as well as its exporting orientation. According to the NRRP, the RRF funds are expected to mobilize new investments of around EUR 57.5 billion in 2021-2026, covering to a large extent the investment gap that was created in Greece in the previous decade. Furthermore, the Greek government has already planned a structural reform agenda, which, combined with an improved debt risk profile, is expected to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
Risks however, may also arise from delays in the absorption of the RRF funds, which would deteriorate business sentiment.
In 2021, the international economy recovered strongly, despite the significant challenges it faced, such as coronavirus variants, inflationary pressures, the energy crisis and supply chain disruptions. However, based on the available economic data, the economic recovery is not expected to be equal among countries, as it is linked to the progress of vaccination programs and to the expansionary policies implemented in the fiscal and monetary field, in each country. Some countries recovered faster compared to others. The explanation for the different rate of economic growth is largely attributed to the accessibility of vaccines of each country. Advanced economies outperformed emerging and low-income economies, as vaccination programs have covered a large proportion of the population, allowing for a faster recovery from pandemic losses, in terms of gross domestic product (GDP).
Global GDP shrank by 3.1% in 2020, while according to the International Monetary Fund (World Economic Outlook Update, January 2022) it is expected to increase by 5.9% in 2021 and by 4.4% in 2022, supported by additional fiscal support in some economies, the strengthening of vaccination programs and the continued adjustment of economic activity.
The volume of the international trade decreased in 2020 by 8.2%, while in 2021 is estimated to increase by 9.3%.
According to the International Monetary Fund (World Economic Outlook Update, January 2022), the volume of the international trade of goods and services is expected to increase by 6% in 2022.
In 2022, the international economy is expected to return to a new normal, as the pandemic either accelerated major changes that were expected to take place at a later stage, or triggered risks and highlighted significant opportunities.
The main uncertainties for 2022 are related to both the future pandemic path and inflationary pressures, especially in energy prices.
The Omicron variant, first identified in November 2021, confirms that the Covid-19 pandemic remains among the threats to global economic growth. Some countries have been forced to reintroduce restrictive measures to mitigate the spread of the new variant. Despite the growing adjustment of economies to restrictive measures, this development is expected to slow down, to some extent, the economic activity, especially in countries vulnerable to disruptions in international demand.
Global inflation rose, in 2021, mainly in advanced economies and especially in the US. The sharp rise in inflation was caused by the imbalance between demand and supply, causing excess demand. The gradual normalization of economic activity, in 2021, led to a rapid increase in demand for goods and services, resulting in a rise in the general level of prices (Demand-pull inflation). In addition, this increase is largely attributed to rising energy costs, as the inability of supply to meet the growing demand for oil and natural gas -which is considered as an intermediate fuel in the transition to renewable energy sources- has led to a large increase in their prices, burdening businesses and households. Furthermore, the global supply chain disruptions have resulted in shortages of intermediate goods, while rising commodity and raw material prices have led to rising production costs, part of which has been passed on to final product prices (cost-push inflation).
Globally, addressing inflationary pressures is crucial, as rising prices for basic goods and especially energy decrease disposable income and, consequently, consumption. The central banks seek to choose the appropriate monetary policy, in order to reconcile the support of the economic recovery and a high inflation, so that it does not exceed its target. The Bank of England was the first major central bank to raise interest rates, in December 2021, while other major central banks, such as the US Federal Reserve, are expected to raise interest rates in 2022. A change in monetary policy in advanced economies due to faster growth rate and growing inflationary pressures could lead to negative changes in the financing conditions of emerging economies, causing capital outflows.
Additional uncertainties that could affect the international economy are:
First, the French presidential election. The election result, combined with the new governing coalition in Germany, will shape the trends within the European Union on a number of important issues, including the need for a reform of the EU fiscal rules, as their current form is obsolete, given the new fiscal situation, especially due to the pandemic.
Second, the possible slowdown in China's economy. The liquidity crisis of the property developer Evergrande Group has plunged into a crisis the Chinese real estate sector. In addition, electricity shortages, in the autumn of 2021, slowed down industrial production, undermining the growth prospects of the world's second largest economy.
Third, the economic implications of the full-scale invasion and sanctions against Russia are basically related with a longer period of inflation in Eurozone fueled by gas, oil and food prices over the medium term, as well as increased uncertainty from the disruption in financial markets. Additionally, a weaker increase in private consumption is expected, because of the large impact of high energy prices on households' real incomes and industries supply lines. At the same time, geopolitical tensions are observed in various areas worldwide, the escalation of which could have adverse economic impact, due to strong economic interactions. The US-China geopolitical competition in various fields (trade, technological) may lead to an increase in protectionist policies (eg tariff increases), adversely affecting free trade and economic activity worldwide. Relations between the two countries could deteriorate sharply, if tensions between China and Taiwan escalate.
Fourth, the evolution and intensity of the energy crisis in 2022 may slow down or accelerate the "green" transition, i.e the shift of production towards renewable energy sources. In 2022, the urgent need to take action on the effects of climate change will once again be in the spotlight. Extreme weather events (drought, fires) occur more often due to global warming, with high economic and social costs. It is therefore an urgent need to accelerate the adoption of more environmental policies, despite the high transition costs.
The occurence of the third wave of the pandemic caused the contraction of GDP in Euro area
in the first quarter of 2021 by 1.1% on an annual basis according to Eurostat. However, GDP increased by 14.4%, 3.9% and 4.6% in the second, third and fourth quarter of 2021 respectively, as the effectiveness of the restrictive measures and the progress of the vaccination programs, has led the European Union Member States to reopen their economies, mainly for the benefit of service companies. An important development is the recovery of consumption, which is also fueled by the accumulated deposits, during the pandemic.
GDP in Euro area increased by 5.2% in 2021, while the European Commission (Winter 2022 Economic Forecast) forecasts growth of 4% in 2022, with private consumption being the driving force, while investment and exports are projected to record stronger momentum. The disbursement of the funds, under the "Next Generation EU (NGEU)" program, is crucial for the economic growth, as it is expected to mobilize additional investment. It is reminded that the European Commission adopted, in July 2020, the "Next Generation EU" program, i.e. of a Development Fund (or Recovery Fund), amounting to Euro 750 billion, with the aim of recovering and strengthening the resilience of the European economy after the pandemic crisis, through a combination of grants and loans to the Member States of the European Union. A significant part of the resources will be directed to actions focused on the green and digital transitions.
The unemployment rate in the Eurozone stood at 7.2% in November 2021, the lowest level recorded since the outbreak of the pandemic crisis. The unemployment rate stood at 7.7% on average, in the period January-November 2021, while it is projected to decrease to 7.3% in 2022 (European Central Bank, December 2021). The European Central Bank (ECB), at its December 2021 meeting, decided to slow, in the first quarter of 2022, the asset-buying program, in the context of the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP), with the aim of ending the program at the end of March 2022. The amounts from the repayment of securities acquired under this program will be reinvested, at least, up to the end of 2024. At the same time, net purchases under the asset purchase program (APP) will expand by Euro 40 billion per month, in the second quarter of 2022, Euro 30 billion per month, in the third quarter and Euro 20 billion per month, from the fourth quarter of 2022. The key interest rate remained unchanged at 0%, in 2021, while according to the ECB's president, it is not expected to increase in 2022, as in such a case, the economic growth might be undermined. In addition, the escalation of inflationary
pressures, according to the ECB, is temporary. Inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, increased from 0.3% in 2020, to 2.6% in 2021, with 39% attributed to rising energy prices. According to the ECB, inflation is expected to rise to 3.2% in 2022, exceeding the 2% target for most of the year, but following a downward trend. According to the new ECB's single monetary policy strategy, price stability is better maintained, with a medium-term inflation target of 2%. This target is symmetric, meaning negative and positive deviations of inflation from the target are equally undesirable.
Economic activity in Cyprus, according to the available data from the Statistical Authority (CYSTAT), increased by 5.6% (annual change, seasonally adjusted figures) in the third quarter of 2021, against an increase of 13.4% in the second quarter and a decrease of 2.1% in the first quarter of 2021.
The European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast) estimates GDP growth rate to stand at 5.4% in 2021 and by 4.2% in 2022. The recovery is expected to be mainly based on domestic demand and the increased tourist arrivals. It is noted, however, that tourism will gradually recover, returning to pre-pandemic level by the end of 2023. Investment is expected, in 2022, to exceed the 2019-level, boosted by funds from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP).
Annual harmonised inflation, according to the CYSTAT, increased from -1.1% in 2020, to 2.3% in 2021, mainly due to the rise in energy prices, non-energy industrial goods and services prices. According to the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast), it is forecast to increase to 1.7% in 2022.
Although public debt increased significantly from 91.1% of GDP in 2019, to 115.3% in 2020, due to fiscal measures to support the economy, it is expected to fall to 104.1% in 2021 and further to 97.6% in 2022 (European Commission, Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast).
The current account deficit, according to the Central Bank of Cyprus, decreased to EUR 144.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, from EUR 616.9 million in the corresponding period of the previous year, due to the significant increase in the services surplus, while the trade deficit marginally declined.
According to the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast), the current account deficit is expected to decline from 10.1% of GDP in 2020, to 9.1% in 2021 and 7.3% in 2022.
GDP, according to available data from the Statistical Authority (INSSE), increased by 8.2%, on an annual basis, in the third quarter of 2021 (seasonally adjusted figures), compared with a larger increase of 13.8% in the second quarter and a decrease of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2021.
According to the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast), GDP is expected to increase by 7% in 2021, exceeding pre-pandemic level and recording one of the strongest GDP growth rate among EU member states. Private consumption, construction activity and investment are expected to perform strongly, while net exports are forecast to have a negative contribution to GDP, despite the expected increase in exports. Regarding 2022, the European Commission estimates GDP growth rate to increase by 5.1%. Private consumption is forecast to increase further, driven by the expected increase in employment and wage growth, while the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) is expected to support investment activity.
Annual harmonised inflation, according to INSSE, increased to 4.1% in 2021 from 2.3% in 2020, while the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast) predicts that harmonised inflation will rise to 4% in 2022.
According to the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast), the government debt-to-GDP ratio is estimated to increase from 47.4% in 2020, to 49.3% in 2021 and to rise further to 51.8% in 2022, due to high primary budget deficits.
Additionally, the current account deficit increased by 57%, on an annual basis, to EUR 15.3 billion, in the period January-November 2021, according to the Central Bank of Romania (BNR). Significant deterioration of Euro 3.9 billion and Euro 800 million, was recorded in the balances of goods and primary incomes, while the surpluses of the balances of secondary incomes and services decreased. The European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast) estimates that the current account deficit will rise from 5.5% of GDP in 2020, to 6.5% in 2021 and decline to 6.3% in 2022.
According to the available data of the Statistical Authority (INSTAT), GDP increased by 7%, on an annual basis, in the third quarter of 2021 (non-seasonally adjusted data). Overall for 2021, the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast) estimates GDP to rise by 6.9%, mainly due to increased investment, private consumption and tourist arrivals from neighbouring countries. The European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic

Forecast) estimates annual inflation to rise from 1.6% in 2020 to 2.2% in 2021 and 2.8% in 2022.
With regard to public debt ratio, the European Commission (Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast) predicts that it will increase from 75.7% of GDP in 2020 to 77.6% in 2021 and decline to 74.9% in 2022.
The current account deficit is also projected to decrease from 8.7% of GDP in 2020 to 7.7% in 2021 and 7.3% in 2022 (European Commission, Autumn 2021 Economic Forecast).
GDP increased by 6.8%, on an annual basis, in the third quarter of 2021, compared with a larger increase of 24.2% in the second quarter and a decrease of 5.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Private and public consumption as well as investment contributed positively to the change in GDP in the third quarter, while net exports contributed negatively. Τhe International Monetary Fund (World Economic Outlook Update, January 2022) predicts GDP to increase by 7.2% in 2021 and 4.7% in 2022. It is noted that, in 2020, the UK economy has received one of the strongest blows among the world's major economies, as GDP shrank by 9.4%.
In December 2021, the Bank of England raised its base rate by 15 basis points to 0.25%. The decision was catalytically affected by the sharp rise in inflation. Inflation in the United Kingdom rose to 5.4% on an annual basis, in December 2021, while the Bank of England estimates that it will remain at these levels, during the winter months, to peak around 6%, in April 2022. Inflation is expected to decline in the second half of 2022.
On 12.3.2021, the Board of Directors of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. (former Alpha Bank S.A.) decided the convening of the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders on 2.4.2021, with agenda items, among others, the approval of the demerger of the société anonyme under the corporate name "Alpha Bank S.A." by way of hive-down of its banking business sector with the incorporation of a new entity and of the Draft Demerger Deed dated 15.9.2020, including the transformation Balance Sheet of 30.6.2020 of the hiveddown banking Business sector, as well as the approval of the Articles of Incorporation of the beneficiary new entity. Following the resolutions of the Extraordinary General
Meeting of the Shareholders held on 2.4.2021, along with the receipt of the required regulatory approvals, on 16 April 2021, the demerger of the former Alpha Bank S.A., then authorized to operate as a credit institution (under G.E.MI. number 223701000 and Tax Identification Number 094014249), which has been already renamed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.", ("Alpha Holdings") was announced pursuant to the Decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments under protocol no 45089/16.4.2021 by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company, which was licensed to operate as a credit institution under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (under G.E.MI. number 159029160000 and Tax Identification Number 996807331) (the "Bank"), in accordance to the provisions of Article 16 of Greek law 2515/1997, as well as Articles 54 paragraph 3, Article 57 paragraph 3, Articles 59-74 and Article 140 paragraph 3 of Greek law 4601/2019 and Article 145 of Greek law 4261/2014, as in force (the "Hive Down"). As a consequence of the Hive Down, the Bank substituted Alpha Holdings by operation of Greek law, as universal successor, in all of its assets and liabilities, rights and obligations and in general its legal relationships within the banking business sector. Moreover, the Bank continues its operation through the existing organizational structure, network of branch offices and premises. Alpha Holdings, which on 19 April 2021 ceased to operate as a financial institution, maintains the assets and activities not related to the banking business sector, while its shares remain listed on the Main Market of the Athens Exchange (the "ATHEX").

That treatment is supported by the fact that the transaction is an intragroup capital reorganization and as such there is no substantial financial change in the Group. The reorganisation had also no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Net profit for the year 2021 increased by Euro 243 million compared to Euro 87 million for the year 2020 and was mainly affected by the recognition (a) of reduced interest income by Euro 151 million mainly due to the reduction of the overdue loan portfolio partially offset by the improvement in Eurosystem borrowing costs and the use of an interest rate of -1% for the TLTRO III program for the period from 24.6.2020 to 31.12.2021, (b) increased commissions on bond loans, mutual funds and cards and (c) in reduced credit risk impairments that do not relate to loan sale scenarios included in the transactions envisaged by the strategic plan.
In December 2021, following:
The Executive Committee of the Bank took the decision to minimize the usage of the FVOCI portfolio towards the utmost operational needs of the Bank's Capital Markets, and long-term securities to be used to collect interest income which is also consistent with the Strategic decision of the Bank and to reclassify bonds amounting to € 4.16 billion to the hold to collect category.
The above decision was assessed that meets the criteria for a change in the business model in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 and therefore from 1.1.2022 the relevant investment portfolio is reclassified to the portfolio of investment securities measured at amortized cost. The securities will be reclassified at their fair value on 1.1.2022 which however will be adjusted
for the cumulative losses of € 6.98 million that have been recognized in equity, and as a result the value of the bonds will be as they had always been measured at amortised cost. Their original interest rate and expected credit losses that have already been recognized are not affected.
The Group has established a framework of thorough management of risks, based on best practice and supervisory requirements. This framework, based on the common European legislation and the current system of common banking rules, principles and standards, is improving continuously over time in order to be applied in a coherent and effective way in the daily conduct of the Group's activities within and across borders, and making the corporate governance of the Group effective.
Since November 2014, the Group falls within the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) - the financial supervision system which involves the European Central Bank and the Bank of Greece - and as a major banking institution is directly supervised by the European Central Bank. The Single Supervisory Mechanism is working with the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Parliament, the Eurogroup, the European Commission and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) within their respective competences.
Moreover, since January 1st, 2014, the EU Directive 2013/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council dated June 26, 2013 along with the EU Regulation 575/2013/EU dated June 26, 2013 ("CRD IV"), are effective. The Directive and the Regulation gradually introduce the new capital adequacy framework (Basel III) of credit institutions, as amended with the Directive 2019/878 and the Regulation 2019/876.
In addition, according to its press release of 27.10.2021, the European Commission has adopted a review of the Capital Requirements Regulation and the Capital Requirements Directive. The proposed package finalises the implementation of the Basel III agreement in the EU. This agreement was reached by the EU and its G20 partners in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and marks the final step in the reform of the banking rules, aiming to ensure that EU banks become more resilient to potential future economic shocks, while contributing to Europe's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to climate neutrality.
In this regulatory and supervisory risk management framework, the Group continuously strengthens its internal governance and its risk management strategy, in order to achieve full compliance within the increased regulatory requirements and the extensive guidelines. The initiatives are related to the governance of data risks, the collection of such data and their integration in the required reports of the management and supervisory authorities.
The Group's approach constitutes a solid foundation for the continuous redefinition of Risk Management strategy through (a) the determination of the extent to which the Group is willing to undertake risks (risk appetite), (b) the assessment of potential impacts of activities in the development strategy by defining the risk management limits, so that the relevant decisions to combine the
anticipated profitability with the potential losses and (c) the development of appropriate procedures for the implementation of this strategy through a mechanism which allocates risk management responsibilities and accountability between the Group units.
More specifically, the Group, taking into account the nature, the scale and the complexity of its activities and risk profile, has developed a risk management strategy based on the following three lines of defense, which are the key factors for its efficient operation:
Credit risk arises from the potential weakness of debtors' or counterparties to meet all or part of their payment obligations to the Group.
The primary objective of the Group's strategy for credit risk management, in order to achieve the maximization of the adjusted to risk performance is the continuous, timely and systematic monitoring of the loan portfolio and the maintenance of credit risks within the framework of acceptable overall risk limits. At the same time, the conduct of daily business within a clearly defined framework of granting credit is ensured.
The framework of the Group's credit risk management is
developed based on a series of credit policy procedures, systems and models for measuring, monitoring and validating credit risk. These models are subject to an ongoing review process on order to ensure full compliance with the current institutional and regulatory framework and their adaptation to the respective economic conditions and to the nature and extent of the Group's business.
Under this perspective and with main objective to further strengthen and improve the credit risk management framework during 2021, the following actions have been implemented:
of the Covid-19 crisis" (EBA/GL/2020/02) are not applicable from 1.4.2021 onwards.
Additionally, the following actions are in progress in order to enhance and develop the internal system of credit risk management:
• Continuous upgrade of databases for performing statistical tests in the Group's credit risk rating models.
The Group acknowledging the potential implications of climate change in economic activity, which in turn affects the financial system, has developed a comprehensive action plan, submitted to ECB in May 2021, presenting how the climate risk assessment will be incorporated in its operations and in the risk management process. In that direction and in alignment with the ECB expectations and in the context of the Action Plan submitted to the ECB in May 2021, the Group has incorporated in its Risk Appetite Framework, the following qualitative statements on climate risks in the context of Credit Risk:
directly or indirectly, specific activities considered as harmful to the environment and society, i.e thermal coal mining or coal-fired electricity generation capacity, upstream oil exploration, upstream oil development projects, except in rare and exceptional circumstances where the proceeds of the project exclusively target the reduction of GHG emissions or flaring from existing producing fields.
Regarding the impact of climate risk on the calculation of Expected Credit Risk Loss, detailed information on the location of collateral as well as information on energy performance certificates is being collected. The information will be incorporated into the respective data systems and methodological approaches will be developed in order to adapt the models for calculating expected credit risk loss. More specifically, the following are in progress:
Additionally, the Bank established an ESG governance structure, to provide proactive management of all ESG topics, ensure internal alignment and enable effective dispersal of expertise into the bank's units. In this respect the Corporate Governance and Nominations Committee, was renamed as "Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee" and was assigned the central role in ESG oversight, while at executive level, a "Group Sustainability Committee" was established, with responsibility for steering and management of all ESG and sustainability issues. The Committee's main tasks are the following:
banks ESG policy and its targets including Financial and Non-Financial KPIs.
Implementation of the plan began in June 2021 and will, continue throughout 2022-2023.
The Group has set as paramount objective the effective management of NPEs, as this will lead not only to the improvement of the Group's financial strength but also to the restoration of liquidity in the real economy, households and productive business sectors, contributing to the development of the Greek economy in general.
In this context, the Group further accelerated the NPE reduction effort in 2021 even compared with the revised NPE Business Plan (submitted on April 2021).
Total NPE securitizations and transactions within 2021 amounted to Euro 16.3bn and this was the result of a dedicated effort towards achieving more than the initial NPE reduction target.
Moreover, the dedicated efforts on the organic NPE management resulted to a contained net NPE formation of Euro 0.1bn. And this was the outcome of the following combined actions and initiatives within 2021:
The further successful implementation of the Group's NPE Strategy within 2022 is also affected by a number of external/systemic factors that include, among others, the following:
The Group's full commitment towards the active management and reduction of NPEs over the Business Plan period is reinforced through the constant review and calibration of the Group's strategies, products, and processes to the evolving macroeconomic environment.
In addition to the efficient and effective management of its NPEs, during the latest years the Bank has captured within its strategic priorities the successful management of NPAs as well. In this context the Bank during 2021 continued its strategy adopted historically as follows:
Ongoing implementation of a uniform management strategy for repossessed real estate properties through the roll out of AREMI, with the aim to:
With regards to the asset commercialization it should be noted that AREMI has launched its own website which promotes both REOs and Bank's (as a lender) auctioned properties.
Further to the above, the Group has launched within 2021 the Project Skyline which entails the set-up of a Joint Venture with an international partner in the real estate market. This is expected to lead to the creation of a unique large-scale real estate investment platform in Greece.
In the context of the Russia and Ukraine conflict impact, markets, excluding Russian assets, have so far reacted in an orderly manner. "Safe-haven" assets are performing well, while commodities and Russian equities, bonds and currency continue to be severely impacted. On the back of the recent developments, outflows from investment funds have been reported. Overall, market participants are trying to assess the negative implications of the war, sanctions, trade disruptions and the mitigating actions. It is worth highlighting however, that capital markets both in terms of pricing and liquidity are currently quite challenging. Hence, the Group's timetable and funding mix may change to accommodate for these new developments.
Prolonged uncertainty will affect consumer's confidence. Higher commodity prices on the back of the war and trade disruptions will be headwinds to growth dynamics for Eurozone and Greece. ECB's chief Economist has already been commenting a downward revision to the region's 2022 growth by 0.4%. On the other hand, it is reasonable to expect that the fiscal and monetary policy will be tweaked accordingly to mitigate those risks. European officials have been discussing to extend fiscal easing measures due to the pandemic and ECB, in front of this new threat, may delay the expected gradual monetary tightening.
Banks from France, Italy and Austria are expected to have the greater share of direct exposure to Russia but in an interconnected financial world the impact can spread out to other financial geographies and/or industries. Undoubtfully for Greece, the impact from higher commodities prices, especially energy, will affect the consumer's disposable income and the businesses' balance sheets. For tourism in particular, a potential loss from Russian flow is anticipated to be manageable. The bigger threat for tourism would be an overall uncertain macro environment. The new order in geopolitics and a subsequent negative economic backdrop may change structurally the global consumer behavior in the near to medium term. Bookings from rest of Europe and the US will be the determining factor for the upcoming summer season.
The Group's direct exposure to Russia/Ukraine as well as of funds transfers from/to Ukraine and Russia, are relatively immaterial. It is noted that the Group has direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine from loans to customers of circa Euro 43 million.
The Group closely monitors the ripple effects of the
conflict and the subsequent sanctions to assess the medium-term implications for the country, the clients and financial system. At household level, the available income is expected to be affected by the inflationary pressures due to the overall increase of energy prices that will consequently lead in an increase of production costs of consumer goods.
Regarding Group's preparedness and ability to apply the sanctions and comply with the terms of the restrictive measures which vary based on the type of transactions, range, currency, country, banks, customers, and the organization that imposes them, the competent Divisions of the Group ensure that operational procedures have been adapted within a short timeframe, in order for the Group to fully comply with the relevant obligations and directives. Moreover, after examining Bank's suppliers list and active contracts as they exist in its repository, there is no supplier side dependency with any firm from the countries directly involved in the conflict.
Regarding possible Cyber risk incidents, the Bank has intensified its monitoring and alert analysis both internally and through services including receipt, analysis and response to cybersecurity incidents with increased sensitivity for elements related to the invasion in Ukraine. The Bank is in regular communication with the National authorities as well as its commercial Threat Intelligence services and memberships (FS-ISAC and Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). Relevant information is shared with the Group companies as well as the other Greek Banks for mutual update and coordinated activity if required.
As the Russia/Ukraine conflict is still evolving, any assessment of its impact is premature. However, the Group has an established and robust UTP process to assess the viability of borrowers and their long-term ability to pay. The UTP process takes place during the periodic review of existing limits, upon request of a new loan exposure, upon ad-hoc requests, upon notification of the Credit Committee for Wholesale Banking, or upon the examination of a modification request and the respective implementation status for Retail Banking. The UTP process in conjunction with the Early Warning System Mechanism that is in place, ensure the Group's early identification of events, at borrower (corporate and individuals) and portfolio level, as well as the relevant actions that must be taken in order to manage the borrowers concerned.
In the following paragraphs specific information are presented per region.

Alpha Bank Romania has a very limited exposure towards the respective region. From a transactional perspective Alpha Bank Romania has no correspondent bank relationship with entities in Russia or Ukraine. The payment flows (incoming and outgoing) are not material, representing 0.37% of the total number of payments and 0.96% of the total payment volumes. The overall deposit amounts to Euro 1.83 million representing roughly 0.10% of the bank's deposit base. From a credit exposure perspective, the overall amount is around Euro 13.14 million representing roughly 0.48% of the bank's loan portfolio.
Cypriot economy will be affected at a moderate to a marginally significant degree, since:
The level of the impact from the Russia and Ukraine conflict depends on the level of escalation and duration of the conflict as well as from the degree of international reaction to resolve it.
Alpha Bank Cyprus exposure to Russian and Ukrainian Borrowers is not considered material (Euro 6.7 million Project Sky).
Alpha Bank London does not conduct business in the respective region, therefore the Russia/Ukraine conflict has no direct impact.
Alpha Bank Albania has a very limited exposure towards the respective region and also has been classified as "Held for sale". Thus, the Russia and Ukraine conflict has no direct impact.
Liquidity Risk comprises both funding liquidity risk and asset liquidity risk, although these two dimensions of liquidity risk are closely related. Funding Liquidity risk refers to the inability of a financial institution to raise the cash necessary to roll over its debt, fulfill the cash, margin, or collateral requirements of counterparties; or to meet capital withdrawals. Asset – market liquidity risk, results from the Group's failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.
During 2021, customer deposits increased by Euro 3.6 billion. This is an 8.29 % increase compared to 31.12.2020. Direct Greek Government deposits, which are monitored separately, decreased by Euro 0.4 billion in 2021, thus amounted to zero 31.12.2021.
During 2021, the subsidiaries continued to have increased liquidity. Their buffer, comprising of Cash and Reserves to Central Bank, government securities both acceptable and non-acceptable as collateral by the Central Bank, senior securities issued by financial institutions, subordinated securities both non-acceptable as collateral by the Central Bank, etc., on 31.12.2021 stood at the level Euro 1.28 billion for Cyprus and Euro 0.55 billion for Romania.
The decision of the European Central Bank (on 7.4.2020 and on 22.4.2020) to accept Greek sovereign debt instruments as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations even though they do not meet minimum ECB rating requirements was sustained through 2021. With this decision, the European Central Bank recognizes the recent progress achieved by the Hellenic Republic and helps common confrontation among states in the Eurozone.
Already from 24.6.2020, the Bank participated in the TLTRO III program which provides long-term financing with a conventional negative interest rate -0.5%. It is noted that the financing rate of this program can be set at -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2022, provided that specific goals have achieved, regarding the amount of the Bank's loans granted for individual periods. In particular:
Moreover, following the announcement of 10.12.2020, three additional dates for participation in this program were added (June, September and December 2021) and the borrowing allowance under TLTRO III was increased from 50% to 55% of eligible loans.
In this context, the Bank's financing from the Eurosystem,
which stood at Euro 13.0 billion on 31.12.2021, increased compared to 31.12.2020 by 1.1 billion. Since specific goals, regarding the amount of the Bank's loans granted for individual periods, Euro 2 billion of the programme have been renewed in December 2021, giving the Bank the benefit of receiving the increased negative rate of -1% .
This increased access to ECB funding, led to a decrease of the more expensive interbank repurchase agreements (repos) by Euro 0.32 billion. Through the financing of this program, the Bank managed to extend the duration of long term financing, as well as to improve the pricing conditions in relation to the repurchase agreements.
In order to ensure that the Banks are prepared to confront the crisis of the pandemic of Covid-19, Single Supervisory Mechanism requested an exceptional liquidity monitoring exercise conducted on a monthly basis. From this exercise, SSM has not up to this point identified any specific issues.
In the context of the Internal liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process, the Bank reviewed the policies and procedures of the liquidity stress test scenarios.
The interbank financing (short, medium to long-term) and the Early Warning Indicators of the Bank, and of Group's subsidiaries are monitored on a daily basis, and analysis is performed in order to capture daily variations.
Taking into consideration the instability of the Greek economy and the new conditions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, liquidity stress tests are conducted on a regular basis in order to assess potential outflows (contractual or contingent). The purpose of this process is to determine whether the existing liquidity buffer is adequate in order to cover Bank needs. These exercises are carried out in accordance with the approved Liquidity Buffer and Liquidity Stress Scenario Group policies Alpha Bank successfully overcomes the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer.
During 2021, the Contingency Funding Plan was updated to incorporate an increased liquidity buffer. The Contingency Funding Plan is complementary to the Recovery Plan. Its purpose is to facilitate increased awareness in the beginning of a possible liquidity crisis in order to perform remedial actions, in a timely manner, to mitigate a reduction in liquidity buffer.
Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is the risk that examines how a change in base interest rates (i.e. Euro swap curve) will affect Net Interest Income of the Group and the Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities (Economic Value of Equity).
The change in net interest income and the change in economic value of equity, which results from a change in base interest rates, are calculated for internal and prudential stress scenarios on a regular basis. The relevant IRRBB stress results are presented to Asset Liability Management Committee and Board Risk Management Committee.
During 2021, interest rate risk of the banking book decreased significantly due to the Non-performing loan portfolio decrease that carried fixed interest rates. Specifically, a significant decrease of NPE was realized through Galaxy & Cosmos securitization and Orbit & Sky sale. Furthermore, IRRBB remained within risk appetite framework limits. This also includes subsidiary level limits.
The system used for IRRBB analysis is Sendero Data Management and Risk Manager system. The Bank finalized the upgrading of Sendero to a newer version which is on production from January 2021. Furthermore, the automated process of inclusion foreign Subsidiaries in the Sendero system has been finalized.
The upgraded version resulted to better support for regulatory reports & KRIs, Dynamic Gap, DV01 by time bucket and Fair Value Gap. Moreover, it enhanced the Earning at Risk calculation. Finally, the subsidiaries Banks in Cyprus and Romania have already been integrated into the Sendero system, resulting in better data quality for the subsidiaries, due to the automatic integration of their data into the application.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), one of the main and most important interest rate benchmarks used in global financial markets ceased to exist or lost its representativeness since January 1st, 2022. Specific GBP and JPY settings, following guidance from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, continued to be published under a changed methodology known as "synthetic" for a short period of time to facilitate with the transition. Furthermore, the continuation of some USD LIBOR settings through June 30th, 2023, is intended only to support the maturity of legacy products.
Despite its importance, LIBOR's shortcomings have led regulators to opt for a transition away from LIBOR to alternative reference rates known as Risk-Free-Rates (RFRs). National Working Groups developed new rates,
based on recommendations of the Financial Stability Board, an international body monitoring the global financial system. Financial Institutions across the globe switched smoothly to RFRs. The changes affected LIBOR and EONIA (Euro Overnight Index Average) while EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) was fundamentally reformed and compliant with Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 ("Benchmark Regulation") which has established a common framework to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the indices used as benchmarks in financial instruments.
In October 2021 the European Commission has adopted the option provided in paragraph 8 of article 23b of the Benchmark Regulation on the designation of a replacement for a benchmark that will cease to be provided and issued the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1847 on the designation of replacement rates for certain settings of CHF LIBOR and the fixed spread adjustments that should be added to them, accordingly. In addition, European Commission adopting the same option of the Benchmark Regulation as described above, issued the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1848 on the designation of replacement for the benchmark EONIA.
The Group took all the necessary steps and complied with the above Regulations. A detailed action plan has been formulated and the internal Working Group, representing several workstreams, identified dependencies to LIBORs and implemented the necessary amendments. A Steering Committee was also closely monitored the Bank's transition to the new RFRs on a bi-weekly basis, informing the Assets and Liabilities Management Committee for the progress and challenges the Group faced during the transition.
The Group informed well in advance its clientele on the LIBOR transition by uploading on its web site all the relevant information. Furthermore, dedicated correspondence was sent to clients with direct exposure to LIBOR reform.
The Group has developed a strong control environment, applying policies and procedures in accordance with the regulatory framework and international best practices, in order to meet business needs involving market and counterparty risk while limiting adverse impact on results and equity. The framework of methodologies and systems for the effective management of those risks is evolving on a continuous basis in accordance with the changing
circumstances in the markets and in order to meet customer requirements.
Market risk is the risk of losses arising from unfavorable changes in the price or volatility of products with underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock exchange indices, equity prices and commodities. The valuation of bonds and derivative positions are monitored on an ongoing basis. Stress tests are conducted on a regular basis using extreme scenarios in order to assess the impact for each scenario on profit and loss and capital adequacy, in the markets where the Group operates.
A detailed structure for trading limits, investment limits and counterparty limits has been adopted and implemented. This structure involves regularly monitoring trigger events that could signal increased volatility in certain markets. This increased volatility means that a limit decrease is applied in these markets. The limits above are monitored on an ongoing basis and any limit breaches identified are reported officially.
For the mitigation of interest rate and foreign currency risk of the banking portfolio, hedging strategies are applied using derivatives and hedge effectiveness is tested on a regular basis.
During 2021 Trading book risk, as measured by Value at Risk, fluctuated between Euro 3,7 million and Euro 5,4 million. Value at Risk is the maximum loss that could take place in one day with 99% Confidence level. Value at Risk captures foreign currency risk, interest rate risk price risk and commodity risk in the trading book.
As of 01/07/2021 the risk engine KVAR was replaced by MX3, for the calculation of capital requirements for general market risk under the Internal Model Approach (IMA) and for market risk management purposes. During the third quarter 2021 the project for the calculation of market risk capital requirements according to the Standardized Approach in scope of the FRTB framework (FRTB-SA) concluded and report production started with reference date September 30, 2021, according to regulatory requirements.
Operational Risk is defined as the risk of financial or qualitative negative effects resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, IT systems, people (intentionally or unintentionally) and external events. Operational Risk includes legal risk.
In the context of its capital calculation process for Operational Risk, the Group implements the Standardized

Approach and meets all the qualitative criteria required by this Approach.
During year 2021, the Group implemented its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk Management Framework responding to the increased regulatory focus on this Operational Risk category.
Furthermore, the Group continued with the implementation of the new operational risk (GRC) system which is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2022.
The development of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) as a control monitoring mechanism has been continued at the Group level. Concurrently, the operational risk events management processes have been further strengthened.
In line with the Group's established Operational Risk framework, the Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) procedure was implemented across the Group, according to the year 2021 annual plan. The RCSA procedure aims to identify and assess risks that may affect the operations and processes of the Banks' Units/Group Companies, recognize potential control gaps, as well as design and implement action plans for their remediation.
The evolution of Operational Risk Events, the RCSA results, and all other Operational Risk related issues are closely monitored by the Group's responsible Operational Risk and Internal Control Committees, which are empowered to monitor and review the Group's Operational Risk exposures and ensure that appropriate measures for their mitigation are adopted.
The Group's Capital Strategy commits to maintain strong capital adequacy both from economic and regulatory perspective. It aims at monitoring and adjusting Group's capital levels, taking into consideration capital markets' demand and supply, in an effort to achieve the optimal balance between the economic and regulatory considerations.
The overall Group's Risk and Capital Strategy sets specific risk limits, based on management's risk appetite, as well as thresholds to monitor whether actual risk exposure deviates from the limits set.
The objectives of the Group's capital management policy are to ensure that the Group has sufficient capital to cover the risks of its business, to support its strategy and to comply with regulatory capital requirements, at all times.
According to the SREP Decision of the 28th December 2020, since 31st January 2021 the minimum limit for the Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) stood at 14%, and remained unchanged from 2020. On 2 February 2022 the ECB informed the Group that from 1 March 2022 the minimum limit for the consolidated Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) is 14.25%.
The OCR is composed by the minimum own funds requirements (8%), according to article 92(1) of the CRR, the additional Pillar II own funds requirements (P2R), according to article 16(2) (a) of the Regulation 1024/2013/EU which corresponds to 3%, and the combined buffer requirements (CBR), according to article 128(6) of the Directive 2013/36/EU which correspond to 3%, for 2021 and 3.25% for 2022 due to the increase of the O-SII buffer by 0.25%. The minimum ratio should be maintained on a phase-in basis under applicable transitional rules of the CRR/CRD IV, at all times
The capital adequacy requirements set by the SSM / ECB and economic capital are used by the Group as the basis for its capital management. The Group seeks to maintain sufficient capital to ensure that these requirements are met.
As the economic effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) started becoming apparent, the ECB, the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Commission (EC), announced a number of measures to ensure that the banks they supervise will continue to fulfil their role in funding the real economy.
Specifically, starting from March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced the following relaxation measures for the minimum capital requirements for Banks in the Eurozone:
(AT1) capital by 18.75% and Tier 2 (T2) capital by 25% and not only by CET 1.
• In parallel ECB issued a recommendation to banks to limit the payment of dividends and share buy-backs. According to a press release issued by the ECB on 23 July 2021 this recommendation remained applicable until 30 September 2021. In addition, on 23 July 2021, the ECB announced that it expects that banks will adopt a prudent and forward-looking approach when deciding on remuneration policies.
The European Commission decided to revise the existing regulatory framework by bringing forward regulations that would normally come with the CRR2/CRDV framework as well as provide a greater flexibility to the phase-in of the impact of the IFRS 9 on capital. The revised framework was published in the Official Journal of the European Union as at June 22, 2020.
On 26 June 2020, the Bank of Greece under an Executive Committee Act determined the capital buffer of systemically important institutions (O-SII) at 0,50%, maintaining stable for 2021 and extending consequently the existing phasing-in period. The third and the fourth phases have been delayed by 12 months each and will apply starting from 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2023 respectively. This decision is in the context of the response to Covid19 pandemic in order to mitigate the subsequent financial impact.
On 22 December 2020, the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2176 of the Council of 12 November 2020, amending Delegated Regulation (EU 241/2014 concerning the deduction of software assets from CET1items, was published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Regarding the International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9), the Group makes use of Article 473a of the Regulation No 2395/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by EU Regulation 873/2020, and applies the transitional provisions for the calculation of Capital Adequacy. The Group is adequately capitalized to meet the needs arising from the application of the Standard, which will be fully implemented at 2023. The impact from the full implementation is estimated at approximately 2,34 % and the CET1 ratio would stand at 10,9 % as of 31.12.2021, for the Group.
At 31.12.2021, the consolidated Common Equity Tier
I capital (CET I) stood at Euro 4.7 billion, and the RWAs amounted to Euro 35.3 billion, resulting in a CET1 ratio of 13.2 %, down by 404 bps versus 31.12.2020, affected mainly by the application of IFRS9 transitional arrangements for 2021, the recent share capital increase, and the Galaxy, Cosmos and Aurora transactions.
As part of the strategic capital management during 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. has successfully completed:
Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs) at 31.12.2021 stood at Euro 5.4 billion. According to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 as amended by article 4 of Law 4340/1.11.2015 «Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the Ministry of Finance» deferred tax assets that have been recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, which were accounted until 30.6.2015, are converted into final and settled claims against the Greek State. The above mentioned are set into force in case the accounting result for the period after taxes is a loss, according to the audited and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting financial statements.
In accordance with article 39 of CRR 575/2013 of the European Parliament and its Council, on precautionary requirements supervision for credit institutions and investment companies and the amendment of CRR 648/2012, a risk weight of 100% will be applied to
the above-mentioned deferred tax assets that may be converted into tax credit, instead of being deducted from regulatory capital.
On 31.12.2021, the amount of deferred tax assets which is eligible to the scope of the aforementioned Law for the Bank and the Group and is included in Common Equity Tier I amounts to Euro 2.9billion and constitutes 61.9 % of the Group's Common Equity Tier I and 8.2 % of the respective weighted assets.
Any change in the above framework that will result in the non-recognition of deferred tax assets as a tax credit will have an adverse effect on the Bank's and Group's capital adequacy.
The approaches adopted for the calculation of the capital requirements under Pillar I are determined by the policy of the Group in conjunction with factors such as the nature and type of risks the Group undertakes, the level and complexity of the Group's business and other factors such as the degree of readiness of the information and software systems.
Capital Requirements for Credit Risk are calculated using the Standardized Approach (STA). The advanced method is used for the valuation of financial collaterals. For the Operational Risk capital requirements, the Group follows the Standardized Approach (STA). For the Market Risk the Bank uses a Value at Risk (VaR) model developed at a bank level for the significant exposures and approved by the Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Bank uses the Standardized approach to calculate Market Risk for the remaining, non-significant exposures.
Following the postponement of the 2020 Stress Test due to the outbreak of COVID – 19 (Coronavirus) and its global spread, the European Banking Authority (EBA) launched the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test on 29 January 2021. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (2020- 2023). The exercise will be used as an input in the Supervisory Evaluation Process (SREP).
The results of the exercise were published on 30 July 2021. According to the results the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test under both scenarios. More specifically:
• Under the baseline scenario, the capital generation for
the 3-year period was 2.8% fully absorbing 2.4% IFRS 9 phase-in, resulting in 2023 to a CET1 fully loaded ratio of 17.3% while the 2023 Leverage ratio (fully loaded) came to 13.0%.
The ICAAP and ILAAP processes are an integral part of the Internal Control System (ICS) of the Group. They are aligned with the best practices and the general principles and requirements set by the regulatory Framework, including the guidelines provided by SSM and/ or EBA. These guidelines allow for:
ICAAP and ILAAP are integrated into the business, decision-making and risk management processes of the Group, contributing to its continuity by ensuring its capital and liquidity adequacy from different but complementary perspectives (e.g. the economic perspective and the normative perspective), while both perspectives mutually inform each other and are integrated into all material business activities and decisions.
The Board of Directors has the overall responsibility of the ICAAP/ILAAP implementation with a clear and transparent assignment of responsibilities to the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management members. The Board, following the Risk Management Committee endorsement, approves the results of the ICAAP and the ILAAP and signs the Group's Capital Adequacy Statement (CAS) and the Liquidity Adequacy Statement (LAS).
The related reports are updated at least annually, or on a more frequent basis if material changes occur and are submitted to the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank. ICAAP and ILAAP are assessed yearly by the ECB as part of the Supervisory Review and Examination Process (SREP).
The Group's balance sheet deleveraging, coupled with the customer deposits restoration trend, the restored market access and the issuances of Euro 1.4 billion, improved the Group's funding mix and increased its high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) buffer. As of 31 December 2021, the Group's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) stood at 183.4%, increased by 33.1% compared to 31 December 2020. Moreover, the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) required threshold of 100% was fully met by the Group on 31 December 2021, as it stood at 109%.
The MREL (Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities) constitutes a buffer that the Bank has to maintain in order to absorb losses in the event of resolution. The required minimum levels of MREL are determined by the Single Resolution Board (SRB) on an annual basis.
As per the latest official SRB decision, from 01 January 2022, Alpha Bank S.A. (resolution enity) shall comply, on a consolidated basis (referring to consolidated figures of Alpha Bank S.A) , with an intermediate MREL target equal to 14.02% of Total Risk Exposure Amount (TREA) and 5.91% of Leverage Exposure (LRE).
From 01 January 2026, the consolidated MREL will become "fully loaded" and will be set equal to 22.76% of TREA and 5.91% of LRE.
With the aim of reinforcing compliance with the above requirements, Alpha Bank SA, successfully carried out the following issuances in 2021:
The Group's organization and operation are governed by principles such as integrity and honesty, impartiality and independence, confidentiality and discretion, as provided for in the Bank's Code of Ethics and in the principles of Corporate Governance.

It should be noted that Alpha Holdings is capturing the Max weight in the index of 10% (capping process).
The Group identified early on, the opportunities and challenges posed by the new digital era and consequently, began elaborating on its digital transformation since 2017. The program includes both operational levers and innovation-focused initiatives, whose implementation continued steadily in 2021. Alpha Bank's digital transformation has focused on enhancing customer experience, through strengthening the capabilities of the Bank's digital channels, deployment of innovative digital infrastructure technologies as well as redesigning the key customer journeys. The current heath pandemic has significantly accelerated the adoption of digital services by the customers, as evidenced by the 93% of customer transactions being conducted through digital channels (as opposed to the branches) in 2021.
In 2021, the Bank continued to improve the digital channels capabilities (web and mobile banking), supporting the daily transactional needs of the customers while offering ease of use as well as speed and security of service. The registration of new users in e-Banking recorded an increase of 31%, exceeding 400,000 new subscribers in 2021, with 1 out of 3 completing their registration exclusively remotely via my Alpha Mobile. The number and value of transactions via the Bank's digital channels recorded an increase of 19% and 20% respectively, compared to 2020.
Since May 2021, all customers used the new and redesigned my Alpha Web for Individuals (the older optional version was cancelled out), which encompasses new functionalities and administration capabilities, such as, subscriber KYC (Know Your Customer) information update through the new "gov.gr" service without requiring any branch visit, immediate activation of inactive customer accounts, constant online loan instalment payments as well as a dark mode version for even greater usability and convenience. Another addition has been the ability to issue a prepaid Bleep Smile Visa card which offers unlimited recharges for the Bank's customers.
Similarly, Web banking for businesses was strengthened with new capabilities such as, the increase in number of credited accounts in multiple transfers, multiple payments to organizations, activation of immediate transfers with Euro 50 thousand limit, with multiple other improvement under way in order to enhance my Alpha web for businesses and support Greek companies during this challenging period.
In 2021, for the first time, the number of transacting customers through the Bank's mobile channel overtaking the ones via the web channel, marking a year where digital banking became more mobile-driven than ever before.
A number of 7 out of 10 bank digital channel subscribers used my Alpha Mobile app consistently on a monthly basis, while the number and value of transactions through the mobile app recorded an increase of 53% and 57% respectively. Aiming at enhancing the mobile customer experience, new features were incorporated in the Bank's mobile app such as, detailed views on all card products, issuing of new debit cards online, addition of customer credit and debit cards to the bank's digital wallets.
Moreover, there has been impressive acceptance recorded among youth between 18-25 years old who chose Alpha Bank for issuing their governmentsponsored Freedom Pass card, in the context of being rewarded for their covid-19 vaccination, with total cards issued exceeding the number of 200,000.
The trend for online sales was further enhanced e.g. debit card issuance through e-Banking for individuals recording +130% increase, reaching 40% of total issues, with mobile contributing 1 in 4 cards issued.
In terms of customer journeys, the Bank's mobile onboarding service for individuals was launched in December 2020, offering prospect customers the ability to open an account, get a debit card as well as web banking credentials via their mobile phone in approximately 15mins, without the need for any branch visit. Throughout 2021, this service successfully delivered approximately 35% of the total new relationships/accounts opened in the bank.
Similarly, the Bank's innovative digital onboarding service for businesses, was launched in February 2021 offering prospect customers the ability to open a business sight account and subscribe to web banking through an exclusively online environment, without requiring the company representative to visit a branch. Throughout 2021, approximately 1 out of 3 companies who started their cooperation with Alpha Bank chose the digital onboarding channel.
In view of further strengthening the digital product sales for Alpha Bank, by December 2021, the majority of design and implementation work for myAlpha QuickLoan was completed, i.e. the first fully digital consumer loan offering of the bank via mobile, without documents with digital signature and immediate loan disbursement to the customer account. The full launch is planned for 2022 and will cover both a mobile and web offering.
Alpha Bank, following the success of its fully redesigned digital wallet "myAlpha Wallet" for android users, offered to its customers all the available digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay and Garmin). Alpha Bank's customers were able to add their Visa and Mastercard cards to the digital wallet of their choice and carry out their payments contactless in an easier, faster, and more secure manner. The acceptance was significant, with the number of new transactions that were carried out via the Bank's digital wallets exceeding the number of 13,500,000.
In December 2021, the Bank's mobile banking applications received a number of distinctions at the Mobile Excellence Awards 2022, in the following categories:
We also continued the program of replacing off-Site ATMs with high-tech machines with the ability to deposit a bundle of banknotes, which resulted in an increase of 27% of the number of deposit transactions and 24% of their value compared to 2020. At the same time, the functionality of voice-guided transactions for people with limited vision was extended to 145 ATMs of the network, first in the market in terms of ATM coverage, giving customers the opportunity to carry out cash withdrawals and balance inquiries, by simply connecting their headphones to the corresponding ATM jack.
Regarding the network of Automated Cash Transaction Centres (ACTCs), 94.5% of the branches had at least one ACTC in 2021, through which numerous deposit and payment transactions are carried out both in cash and by charging an Alpha Bank card. In November 2021, the functionality of payments to assigned loans (from sold/ assigned loan portfolios) was implemented facilitating the migration of similar transactions from the branch tellers.
Alpha Bank also recorded significant growth in e-commerce services in 2021, i.e. increase of 28% in new ecommerce business customers, increase of 37% in number of ecommerce transactions and increase of 41% in value EUR year-on-year.
In 2021, the Bank also launched the capability to issue Approved Electronic Signatures for its customers and staff in accordance with European Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS) thereby enabling the remote signing of documents by the customers and setting the foundation for a new era of end-to-end remote service experiences.
Alpha Bank actively continued to pursue the development of an open innovation ecosystem. Its third digital innovation competition (i3 ), open exclusively to Bank staff, launched in April 2021, aiming at soliciting innovative employee ideas to improve customer or employee experience through digital technology. I3 2021 welcomed 125 entries from colleagues across the bank nation-wide, 10 teams were formulated which were coached by 21 bank mentors, and resulted in 3 winning ideas for further detailing.
Finally, the 3rd , international digital innovation competition, FinQuest by Alpha Bank started in Dec 2021. The competition is looking for innovative B2B and B2C solutions, that (a) use open data in order to improve the experience of the Bank's customers or to serve the Bank's partners, (b) leverage data analytics to offer ESG profiling of medium or large companies. Finquest has already received more than 60 entries from 17 different countries, who will be assessed, accelerated and coached during 2022 under the mentorship of external experts, Alpha Bank executives and associates. This process aspires to identify and create some of the future innovation partners for Alpha Bank to assist in transforming the value propositions and deliver value to the Bank's customers
The Group monitors, from the beginning of the pandemic crisis until today, the Government's announcements regarding the restrictive measures and adjusts the way of working accordingly with consistency and responsibility to
the Employees and their Families. The physical presence of the Personnel in the workplaces is fully harmonized with the instructions of the competent authorities in a way that ensures on the one hand the proper operation of the Group and on the other hand the reduction of the risk of spreading the virus.
In addition, given the high rates of working remotely, training in new applications and collaboration tools is constantly expanding. At the same time, the content of the Intranet is enriched and actions are developed that aim to make the work from home easier, and to support the Employees in general with advice on various issues such as health, finess, personal development and culture Furthermore, we have developed a special section about coronavirus related news and information.
In May 2021, the Group announced its updated Strategic Plan, Project Tomorrow, which includes a series of strategic initiatives which are intended to drive future performance. The strategic priority (as presented in Project Tomorrow) is to capture the opportunity to participate in the anticipated credit growth for the Greek banking sector, that is expected to be driven by EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility ("RRF") funds and the investments that these funds will mobilize. Capturing a fair market share of that growth will allow the Group to reach higher profitability levels sooner, while the targeted NPE reduction under the Updated Strategic Plan and the transformation plan will allow achievement of a low level of NPEs, a normalized cost of risk and a lean cost base that will support reaching a 10% RoTBV by 2024. Group's Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:
organic NPE reduction (i.e. cures, debt forgiveness, collateral based recoveries and other closing procedures). After the successful completion of the NPE Initiatives, the Group will be able to achieve significantly reduced cost of risk levels and improved asset quality levels on par with other European banks, while maintaining a satisfactory capital position above applicable minimum capital requirements;
Significant milestones have already been achieved, paving the way for solid performance in the years ahead:
Asset Management along with the recently announced business development initiatives that strengthened our franchise positioning, allowed the Group to record c. +20% y-o-y increase on fee income reaching the fee income generation target of c. Euro 0.4 billion for 2021;
• Transformation program has progressed swiftly enabling the Greek operations to reach a more productive and efficient profile
The main objectives for 2022, that will allow to remain aligned with the priorities set through the updated Strategic Plan (Project Tomorrow) for the period up to 2024, are to:
Alpha Bank's Transformation program supports the delivery of the Bank's strategic plan across three pillars: customer-centric growth, organizational effectiveness, and operational efficiency. Following the completion of the bottom-up planning and design phase in May 2021, the plan is now in the implementation phase. The bottom-up phase produced detailed implementation plans for more than 100 initiatives across 20 workstreams, each of which has a direct sponsorship of one or more General Managers. The plan was delivered with the involvement of more than 150 colleagues over a period of more than 9 months. A detailed IT delivery plan with more than 70 projects until 2023, underpinning the respective initiatives, has been defined.
The program has already started delivering financial (cost savings and revenue growth enablement) and non-financial impact (e.g., capabilities, platforms, change management) and remains on track to achieve its ambitious goals in 2024. In Retail Banking, the Bank has shifted towards a segmentbased organization, with adjustments in the servicing model to enable better focus on priority segments. Administrative and back-office activities from Branches have been centralized and automated to free up frontline capacity to be redeployed in sales activities. In Wholesale Banking, a new central team has been established to monitor client profitability and proactively manage each account and the overall portfolio. Moreover, a significant proportion of branch transactions from business customers were migrated to digital channels. In Growth & Innovation, customer experience improvements (CX) for the first (pilot) journey were completed. The Bank has launched the digital consumer loan and has started to actively grow its sales through digital channels. In Operations, the first wave of third party spend savings was completed. Furthermore, efficiency projects (e.g., automations and operating model changes) started delivering impact. In organizational effectiveness, the Bank's performance and talent management framework was strengthened and the new Employee Value Proposition was defined. Over the past 6 months, the Transformation has already built significant momentum and delivered significant step changes to the Bank's operating model and capabilities. 2022 will be a pivotal year as a significant number of projects and initiatives will be delivered, enabling a step change for the bank's capabilities and competitive positioning.

The Business Model of Alpha Bank aims to create value for its Stakeholders. Alpha Bank invests in its Employees, in its network and infrastructures in order to develop and place

Business Model Alpha Bank
on the market high quality services and products. It also works together with its Stakeholders in order to identify their requirements in a timely manner, to ensure its responsible operation and to support the society. Alpha Bank provides a healthy work environment, in which its Employees broaden their knowledge and skills and contribute to the development of new products and services. Alpha Bank supports the Greek economy, enhances its electronic services, offers products and services with specific social and environmental characteristics, and actively contributes to the society.
Value creation for financial institutions is, inherently, closely tied to the level of economic activity in the countries it operates, as well as the overall financial environment. It is therefore inevitable that exceptional events, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic, which cause a severe strain on individual businesses and the economy at large, will also have a significant impact on the financial institutions. The deceleration of economic activity caused by the pandemic has created a series of effects, such as reduced turnover and profits for businesses and/or loss of income for employees in affected sectors, which in turn has impacted the ability of both businesses and individuals to meet their obligations for loan repayments.
However, a number of factors ensure that financial institutions can exhibit resilience against such impacts. Alpha Bank has been consistently performing well in relevant stress tests, demonstrating the resilience of its business model and its prudent management of financial resources, maintaining healthy capital and liquidity buffers and avoiding exposure to excessive or uncontrolled risks.
The European Banking Authority has taken decisive measures to assist Banks in continuing to support their customers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The issued guidelines on the implementation of payment moratoria for customers affected by the crisis have provided an effective framework for Banks to assist their customers without incurring severe losses. Additionally, a temporary relaxation of capital requirements has been applied, allowing banks additional capacity to support businesses and households to financially recover.
Overall, Alpha Bank has exhibited adaptability and resilience during the pandemic, assisted by both State and the Regulatory authorities, and was able to continue supporting the economy and its customers under a controlled stress of its balance sheet and profitability, without affecting the longterm viability of its business model.
By closely monitoring the international developments
regarding the pandemic, Alpha Bank was able to take a proactive approach and activated its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) at an early stage, in order to ensure a coordinated response to any events that could potentially disrupt its operations.
It should be noted that the Alpha Services and Holdings Group initially developed its Pandemic response plan in 2009, at the time of the H1N1 virus outbreak. To ensure the Group's pandemic response plan is sufficiently robust, the Business Continuity Managementoffice reviews the Pandemic plan on a regular basis. As a result, the Bank was well prepared during the Covid-19 outbreak.
For the areas affected by Covid-19, both IT and Cybersecurity Division have established the necessary requirements based on the relevant risk and operational parameters to provide an effective and secure operating environment.
Even though the Bank has not experienced severe threats or incidents due to Covid-19 related activities, Phishing and Fraud campaigns have increased as expected. Alpha Bank has intensified its awareness efforts and technical measures to protect its Employees and Customers. Additionally, all the Employees in Alpha Services and Holdings Group are continuously trained through the Cybersecurity Awareness and Training Program, which also includes teleworking and remote access security.
In a similar way, Customers are continuously informed of the increased threats from phishing and fraud campaigns through the Bank's Web Banking (pop-ups before and after login), website portal (dedicated banner and info pages), Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages as well as through newsletters.
Furthermore, Alpha Bank is continuously increasing the readiness of its Security Services and the Bank's Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) collaborates with CSIRTs on a global scale as well as the Ministry of Digital Governance and the Hellenic National CSIRT, exchanging threat information related to Covid-19.
Alpha Bank' s fundamental policies in relation to environmental, social and governance issues are presented in the following table. Further details regarding Alpha Bank or Alpha Services and Holdings Group policies and corporate governance are included in the Corporate Governance Statement and the Annual Sustainability Report. It should be noted that the policies are available in a dedicated section at the Group Intranet, Once a new policy or an updated policy is published, a corresponding circular is also uploaded in the Group's intranet.
The Board of Directors with the support of the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee of Alpha Services and Holdings assesses on an annual basis its effectiveness as well as that of its Committees. During 2021, the collective evaluation of the Members of the Board of Directors and its Committees, for the year 2020, was conducted by a third party, with the assistance of the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee. The Individual Evaluation of the Members of the Board of Directors for the year 2020 was conducted, in 2021, by the Chair of the Board of Directors.
Further to the aforementioned evaluation of the Board of Directors, an assessment of the Board Members' collective suitability in terms of knowledge, skills and experience was conducted, based on the Joint ESMA/EBA Guidelines on the Assessment of the Suitability of Members of the Management Body and Key Function Holders with the support of the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee.
Alpha Services and Holdings Group's organization and operation are guided by best banking and business practices, which are accompanied by certifications in accordance with the most widely recognized International Standards (ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 20000 Information Technology Service Management System, ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System, ISO 27001 Information Security Management System, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System etc.) in critical areas of operations. The certified management systems which the Group has in place are designed to enable it to better respond to the ever-changing needs of Customers, in full alignment with the applicable legislative and regulatory requirements.
In 2021, Alpha Bank managed also to enhance its Environmental certifications by implementing the ISO 14064 Management System (Greenhouse Gases Emissions) and successfully receiving the verification by a third party. In addition, the Bank successfully developed and published its first Environmental Statement in accordance with the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and filed the Statement to the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy.
With a view to ensuring its sustainable development, Alpha Services and Holdings is committed to operating responsibly, taking into account the economic, social and environmental parameters of its operation, both in Greece and in the other countries where it is present. To this end, a "Corporate Responsibility Policy", has been developed.
The Corporate Communications Division supports the Bank's Management in matters of Sustainability, by submitting for approval related policies and strategies and by managing, coordinating, developing and promoting the Bank's Sustainability activities, seeking to continuously improve its performance in this area. Executives of the Division meet on a regular basis with Members of the Senior Management of Alpha Services and Holdings, the Board of Directors and the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee, to discuss the Bank's Sustainability actions (such as materiality analysis, disclosure of the Bank's nonfinancial information in accordance with Greek law, etc.). In 2021, a new comprehensive ESG Governance Structure has been developed at a Group level, which demonstrates the Group's strong commitment to Sustainability issues. More specifically, a Sustainability Committee has been established, which supports the Board of Directors in overseeing the Sustainable Development processes and operations. The Committee has a central role in ESG direction setting and oversight. The purpose of the Committee is to strengthen the Bank's long-term commitment in creating value through the ESG objectives and to monitor the effectiveness of Alpha Services and Holdings to meet its targets and goals in relation to ESG issues. Furthermore, a Group ESG coordinator has been appointed to oversee the ESG objectives within the crossfunctional ESG Working Group aiming to facilitate an efficient internal adoption of ESG practices across the organization.
Additionally, an extended ESG workplan has been developed in order not only to capture the opportunity to engage with our stakeholders and ensure the Company's sustainability, but also to be able to manage any ESG risks. Alignment with regulatory obligations regarding Climate Risk management, reduction of the Group's environmental footprint, alignment with sustainable finance principles, further contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals and creation of an attractive working environment are among the main objectives of the workplan.
The Bank has recognized as its Stakeholders the natural and/or legal persons who/which, either directly or indirectly, are connected to, and affect or are affected by, the Bank's decisions and its operation. Alpha Services and Holdings has identified four different Stakeholder groups (i.e. Analysts and Investors, Customers, Employees and Society). The Bank seeks to engage in an ongoing dialogue and collaboration with its Stakeholders. Analysts and investors are provided with full and prompt information via specific sections on the Bank's website, together with the Financial Statements, Business Review as well as Sustainability
Report of the Bank. Furthermore, the Bank pays great attention to ensuring its Customers' satisfaction, and to providing high quality products and services. The Bank's Customer Service Division is in charge of Quality Assurance and is committed to fulfilling these objectives. Alpha Bank ensures effective communication with Employees, by establishing the role of Human Resources Business Partners and visits by Human Resources Division Executives to Bank Units and Branches. Finally, the Bank is often involved in a dialogue and in consultations with State authorities, both in Greece and at European level. The Bank supports public administration services, local organizations, foundations and it communicates with representatives of local communities on a regular basis.
Alpha Services and Holdings, periodically, tries to identify and assess the ESG issues which are related to its activities and might impact the Group's operations and/ or its Stakeholders, through a materiality analysis process. In 2021, the Company performed a new process for the identification and mapping of the most material issues for its responsible operation (materiality analysis). Stakeholders and Senior Management Executives were involved in the process, in accordance with best practices (i.e. the GRI Standards) and evaluated the following 17 identified material issues.
It should be stressed that the non-financial matters identified in Law 4548/2018 and GEMI Circular 62784/2017 are a subset of the issues assessed by the Bank and its stakeholders. A mapping is presented in the following table.

In line with its firm and unwavering position against corruption, bribery and fraud, Alpha Bank has issued a GroupAnti Bribery and Corruption Policy and established relevant control mechanisms in order to mitigate the relevant risks. Those issues were included in the 2021 Compliance Training Program, in Alpha Services and Holdings Group Employees.

Alpha Services and Holdings' identified supply chain risks include:
Alpha Services and Holdings maintains a register of thirdparty suppliers.
The Bank has identified the Corporate Social Responsibility principles that should be applied by the Bank, its suppliers and partners in its Corporate Responsibility Policy. All suppliers are expected to comply with this Policy and operate responsibly. When evaluating suppliers' performance, the Bank assesses whether they have had their management systems certified according to international standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 45001/ OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001.
The Bank has also established a Group Outsourcing Policy, which sets specific criteria for third party service providers aiming to minimize potential risks for the Bank and its Customers. According to the Policy, every third party and
service provider is periodically evaluated by Alpha Bank Outsourcing Functional Area, in collaboration with different Divisions of the Bank. The initial or/and periodic assessment of suppliers of Outsourcing services (critical - noncritical) is carried out with specifically designed questionnaires containing many questions and information. Through these questionnaires, based on their competencies and scope, the specific jointly-competent Divisions assess any risks for the quality of services, counterparty risk (financial status, longterm sustainability), information security risk, confidentiality risk, personal data management risk, business continuity risk, regulatory/legal and tax compliance risk. Furthermore, the cooperation and service agreement contracts contain contractual terms for compliance with labor and insurance legalization and for taking the necessary measures to ensure the health and safety of Employees.
In association with the Market and Operational Risk Division, in 2022, the assessment criteria will be enhanced, in order to further ensure that the Group and its suppliers and outsourcing partners are working towards a more sustainable future.
The Bank has begun as of 2021 a transformation project concerning the outsourcing providers' scorecards, which align the Bank's demands of its vendors with the appropriate guidelines. The updated scorecards/questionnaires are to be presented and approved by the responsible Group Outsourcing Unit during Q1 of 2022.
Finally, Alpha Services and Holdings seeks to support local communities and create added value for the local economies. In 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings Group cooperated primarily with local suppliers, whenever possible.

Alpha Services and Holdings actively participates in the global effort to build a sustainable future for the economy and the planet. In 2019, the Bank signed the six Principles for Responsible Banking, which were developed as an international initiative of the United Nations – Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). A year earlier, in 2018, and Alpha Asset Management M.F.M.C. became a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Initiative.
For the purpose of implementing the Principles, in 2020, Alpha Bank conducted an Impact analysis of its portfolio and submitted its first self-assessment report to the UNEP FI. The Bank identified positive and negative associations between its portfolio and the 23 environmental, economic and social areas defined by the UNEP FI Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB). For this initial assessment, the analysis was focused on the Bank's operations in Greece, across its Retail, Small and Medium Businesses, Wholesale, and Investment activities.
The most significant impact areas were prioritized based on Alpha Bank's exposure in different sectors through its portfolio and on the priorities and challenges identified at the national level in Greece. To better capture Alpha Bank's actual impacts, members of the Senior Management as well as representatives of key business lines were involved in the process. The four (4) most significant impact areas identified were namely Water, Employment, Waste and Climate. For these four areas, Alpha Bank has set specific medium and long-term targets that will increase its positive impacts, while minimizing negative impacts.
Alpha Bank seeks to increase its positive effect on society and the environment, utilising new business opportunities and generating value for all stakeholders. The Bank offers thematic investments with a positive direct or indirect impact on humanity and the environment (Socially Responsible Investing - SRI) as well as on mutual fund choices that also take into account social responsibility and corporate governance with regards to the underlying assets under management (Environmental, Social and Governance - ESG criteria). Aiming to raise awareness regarding ESG and sustainable investments, Alpha Bank organizes informative events and on a regular basis publishes relevant informative material in reports. It supports households and business responsible investment choices and invests in large infrastructure projects and projects that have a positive environmental and social impact. On this basis, Alpha Bank regularly coordinates internal and external (Customer) events focused on the merits of ESG investing.
The Bank's Project Finance Unit works on securing financing for investments in projects aiming at benefiting society. In 2021, the Project Finance Unit continued its successful activity, providing financing for new investments in wind farms and solar parks, while it also undertook or participated in new financing arrangements.
Since 2016, the Group has incorporated the "Environmental and Social Risk Management Policy on Legal Entities Lending" in the Group's existing Credit Risk Management Framework and the Group's Credit Policy, thereby enhancing the effective management of the environmental and social dimension of financing. The Policy presents the responsibilities and the approach followed in managing environmental and social risk at every stage of the lending process and also provides an industry-specific Exclusion List (i.e. a list of sectors that the Group does not finance), as well as a list of crucial industry sectors/activities associated with environmental and social risk. All obligors-legal entities are evaluated, assessed and reviewed against the possible environmental or social risks in each stage of the Group's corporate credit procedure. When specific criteria are met, an environmental and social due diligence, i.e. on-site visit at customer's premises, is conducted by environmental and social specialists in order to assess customer's compliance with the respective legislation. Similarly, in order to assess the investments, the Project Finance team collaborates with specialized technical advisors on the projects' environmental licensing and environmental due diligence. Following the disbursement of credit, adherence to environmental terms and commitments is obligatory, throughout the long duration of the said financings.
In 2021, there were two (2) cases of non-approval of credits due to issues which occurred during the assessment of environmental and social risks.
Alpha Asset Management M.F.M.C. is committed to the implementation of the six Principles of the UN-supported international Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) Initiative. Alpha Asset Management's framework for responsible investments aims to better allocate capital by considering material environmental and social issues, as well as governance factors in the investment process.
In 2021, the company remained focused on supporting ESG incorporation into the portfolio management process and investment decision making while improving the capabilities on assessing issuers' sustainability credentials and enhancing risk analysis with ESG considerations. On stewardship, the company strengthened its activities by
exercising its voting rights in General Meetings and by engaging with investee companies on their decarbonization plans, disclosure of climate metrics, human rights, and compliance with the new law on corporate governance of listed companies in Greece. The ESG Investment Committee was established to govern and oversee the implementation of ESG incorporation and monitor ESG risks for financial products. Emphasis was placed in communicating the company's responsible investment approach and ESG developments to its stakeholders.
The company's framework to responsible investing as outlined in the "Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) policy" represents the guiding principles to ensure that information on ESG risks and opportunities is appropriately incorporated into the investment process. ESG factors are considered alongside traditional financial analysis and active ownership to provide a comprehensive and holistic view of investments, better manage risks and help identify those investments that have the potential to deliver sustainable returns. The methodology for responsible investment covers equity, fixed income and multi-asset portfolios and includes ESG due diligence in fund of funds' portfolios. The responsible investment approach combines an optimal blend of ESG strategies, adapted for each fund according to the specific characteristics of its asset class, investment process and geographical area.
The company repositioned the Alpha (LUX) Global Fund of Funds into an ESG offering that promotes environmental
and/or social characteristics. Moreover, the company prioritized its efforts to comply with the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), effective from March 10th, 2021 and classified three investment products in alignment with Article 8 of the SFDR. Disclosure requirements related to the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 can be found in the dedicated Sustainability Investments section of the company's website.
In addition, the company submitted the third annual PRI Transparency Report and completed an analysis of the main gaps for future development of its responsible investing practices.
Alpha Asset Management has been awarded the score of "A" (in an evaluation scale of E – A+) for its approach to responsible investing. The score was awarded by the PRI in its 2020 assessment report and demonstrates the level of Alpha Asset Management's expertise in terms of integration of ESG criteria across its investment processes.
Alpha Asset Management approach to responsible investment reflects the best interest of its stakeholders in delivering enhanced risk-adjusted returns over the long term and contributing to a sustainable world

Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy) was created to meet the need for a common system for the classification of environmentally sustainable economic activities. At the same time, it forms an integral part of the European Green Deal, as well as of the EU Action Plan on Sustainable Finance.
The EU Taxonomy Regulation is effective since July 12th, 2020, and establishes the following six environmental objectives:
d) it complies with the technical control criteria established by the Commission.
The 1st Delegated Act (commonly known as the "Climate Delegated Act") concerning the technical criteria for economic activities with a significant contribution to the first two objectives, (i.e., the climate change mitigation and the climate change adaptation), was adopted on July 4th, 2021, and is effective as from January 1st, 2022. The technical criteria for the remaining objectives are expected to be issued within the first half of 2022.
According to the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (EU Taxonomy), the term "eligible" is used for economic activities included in the Climate Delegated Act. However, it should be noted that even if an economic activity is eligible, it does not mean it is also environmentally sustainable. The term "environmentally sustainable activity or investment" is associated with alignment, which requires greater analysis compared to eligibility. To be Taxonomy-aligned an economic activity should comply with all the requirements listed in the respective technical criteria, should not do significant harm to other environmental objectives, and should be exercised in accordance with the minimum safeguards.
Alpha Bank, considering what has been published to date regarding the EU Taxonomy Regulation and by making some reasonable assumptions, where necessary, has begun to formulate its own strategy to be able to comply with the strict EU Taxonomy timetable:

1 Minimum safeguards (Article 18) are procedures applied by an undertaking engaged in an economic activity in order to ensure compliance with the guidelines of the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) for multinational companies and the UN Guiding Principles on Business, including the principles and rights set out in the eight fundamental conventions identified in the International Labour Organization's declaration on Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work and the International Bill of Human Rights.
Eligibility compliance at first and alignment with the EU Taxonomy Regulation as the next step, is a new obligation for corporations, including credit institutions, even though the technical criteria under the objectives 3 to 6 have not been issued yet. Alpha Bank closely monitors all relevant announcements to ensure transparency and completeness of the information required to be disclosed, both for the current year as well as for the upcoming years.
This section describes the contextual information in support of the quantitative indicators, including the scope of assets and activities covered by the KPIs, information on data sources and limitations.
Eligible economic activities included in the EU Taxonomy Regulation, based on the NACE code classification, are categorized in 11 sectors for the environmental objective of climate change mitigation and in 15 sectors for the
environmental objective of climate change adaptation.
Alpha Bank proceeded to the classification of its exposures in economic activities that are eligible and economic activities that are non-eligible according to the provisions of the EU Taxonomy Regulation, by making reasonable assumptions for the data available for the year 2021. As a result of the classification exercise, Alpha Bank concluded that Bank's exposures match against 10 eligible NACE sectors related to the environmental objective of climate change mitigation and against 12 NACE sectors related to the environmental objective of climate change adaptation. Note, though, that under each NACE code there are numerous 4-digit activity numbers (at class level), which, based on the Climate Delegated Act, have been categorized into eligible and noneligible activities. In other words, a NACE sector contains both 4-digit eligible and non-eligible sub-codes.
Detailed analysis of this exercise is illustrated in the table below:

As regards the KPIs and other ratios presented in this report, it should be emphasized that the figures have been calculated based on financial data of the Bank as of 31.12.2021 and not on the financial data of the Group as of 31.12.2021.
The proportion (%), nevertheless, of the Bank's total assets against the total assets of the Group accounts for approximately 90%. On this ground, the Bank has proceeded with the classification of exposures in accordance with EU Taxonomy Regulation using only the Bank's financial data.
All calculations were carried out based on accounting balances and other financial data denominated in Euro (€) as at 31.12.2021.
Alpha Bank proceeded to the classification of its exposures to loans and advances, debt securities and equity instruments in eligible economic activities, considering the
1 The NACE codes shown in the table below are in line with Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2.
eligible NACE activity codes, as set out in Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2139.
Based on the Delegated Act, exposures to household loans, loans to central governments, central banks and supranational issuers, as well as interbank loans, have been excluded from the scope for the determination of exposure to loans on eligible economic activities. Exposures to general public administration activities (central governments) have been excluded from the scope for determination of exposure to securities / bonds to eligible economic activities. As regards shares and mutual funds no need arose to scope out any exposures for the determination of exceptions to be made from the calculation of the exposures to eligible economic activities.
In addition, a separate assessment has been made for the proportion of exposures to eligible and non-eligible economic activities in undertakings that are obliged to publish non-financial information (NFRD) pursuant to Article 19a or 29a of Directive (EU) 2013/34.
An analysis on the proportions of exposures to loans and advances, debt securities and equity instruments on eligible and non-eligible economic activities was carried out for the two environmental objectives (namely, climate change mitigation and climate change adaptation) separately and for the total.
Regarding quantitative disclosures, the proportions of exposures to eligible and non-eligible economic activities, as described in the EU Taxonomy Regulation, have been calculated using the total assets of the Bank as denominator.
The following categories of exposures have been included or excluded for the calculation of the KPIs as necessary:

In this way, the Company will be able to monitor and analyze the sustainability of its financing activities and investments, throughout their life cycle, in an objective manner.
The structured collection, management and application of relevant sustainability data, for each customer, loan and investment, will enable the Group, to assess the quality of its assets, against the EU Taxonomy criteria. Moreover this will serve as the basis for target setting and enable directed actions to improve the Group's sustainability KPIs, in line with the evolving requirements of investors, regulators, markets and society.
The cornerstone of this plan is Alpha Services and Holdings' Sustainable Finance Strategy, which includes the design of specific financial products to enable its customers' transition to low-carbon business models and carbon-reduction / climate defense technologies.

By ensuring that investors, civil society and other stakeholders have the appropriate level of access to the correct information, Alpha Services and Holdings contributes to the development of a responsible attitude towards entrepreneurship and aims to create security for its investors and to protect them from "greenwashing" phenomena.
In addition, Alpha Services and Holdings is implementing international standards and protocols aiming to reduce its scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint, promote environmental protection and mitigate climate change.

Pursuant to article 152 par. 1 of Law 4548/2018, Law 4706/2020 and the Hellenic Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors' Annual Management Report of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.

By resolution of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on 2.4.2021 and following the receipt of the required regulatory approvals, the demerger of the former Alpha Bank S.A., then authorized to operate as a credit institution (with Registration Code Number 223701000 in the General Commercial Registry (G.E.MI.) and Tax Identification Number 094014249), which has already been renamed "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.", was announced on April 16, 2021, pursuant to the Decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments under Protocol Number 45089/16.4.2021, by way of hive-down of the banking business sector with the incorporation of a new company, which has been licensed to operate as a credit institution under the corporate name "Alpha Bank S.A."

The main Corporate Governance goals for 2022, include but are not limited to those presented below:
The Company places great emphasis on the identification, measurement and monitoring of all types of risks. Under the leadership of the Group Chief Risk Officer (CRO), who is a General Manager, an Executive Committee Member and a rapporteur to the Risk Management Committee, the Risk Management Unit (RMU) has developed an adequate structure to facilitate the implementation of the Risk Management Framework across the Group. The RMU exercises effective, functional oversight of risk management across the Group legal entities.
The Risk Management Framework is based on an extensive set of risk policies.
The main objective of the Risk Management Framework in place is to ensure that the outcomes of risk-taking activities are consistent with the Group's strategy and risk appetite and that there is an appropriate balance between risk and reward in order to maximize shareholder returns.
The Risk Appetite Framework (RAF), which constitutes a major component of the Risk and Capital Strategy, allows the Company to combine the corporate and business strategy with the financial and capital planning and with the Risk Management Framework.
The Company has fully complied with the provisions of the institutional framework with respect to its troubled assets. The Risk Management Committee, a Committee of the Board of Directors as described below, provides oversight of all the areas of Risk Management of the Company.
The Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee, in a joint session, provide oversight of certain key areas of risk and capital management and their repercussions on the Internal Control System and they review issues relevant to the remediation plans related to regulatory/ supervisory assessments, operational risk and other issues of importance and common interest.
The Internal Control System, on which the Company places great emphasis, comprises all mechanisms and procedures relating to all the activities of the Company at an individual and a consolidated level and is designed to ensure:
The Internal Control System is structured along the three lines of defense model: the business and operational or support units (first line); the risk management and compliance functions (second line) and the internal audit function (third line).
The Audit Committee is responsible for the monitoring of financial reporting processes, the effective operation of the internal control and risk management systems as well as for the supervision and monitoring of the performance and independence of the Statutory Certified Auditors.
The Audit Committee cooperates with the Risk Management Committee regarding the oversight of certain key areas of risk and capital management and their repercussions on the Internal Control System.
The evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Internal Control System of the Company is conducted:
Unit and the Management as well as on the basis of the findings and observations from the External Auditors and the Regulatory Authorities.
c. Periodically (every three years) by external auditors, other than the Statutory Certified Auditor: this is performed by professionals with specific competencies in the field of internal control, risk management and internal audit, who are independent of the Group.
The Internal Audit Unit at Group level performs audits based on a plan endorsed by the Audit Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors, following a risk-based methodology. The audit results are communicated to the Stakeholders and action plans are agreed upon. The implementation of the action plans is periodically followed up by the Internal Audit Unit.
The results of the audit engagements and the followup process are communicated regularly to the Audit Committee, which reports accordingly to the Board of Directors.
On an annual basis, a report on the Evaluation of the Internal Control System of the Group is submitted to the Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee and subsequently to the Bank of Greece, in accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements.
On a three-year basis, as mentioned above, an assessment of the adequacy of the Internal Control System of the Group is performed by independent external auditors, in accordance with the Bank of Greece Governor's Act 2577/2006. The latest assessment report was issued by PwC in June 2020, covering the period 2017-2019, and it was submitted to the Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, and then to the Bank of Greece.
With regard to the financial reporting and accounting processes in particular, the Company has in place policies and procedures established in accordance with the current legislation and the accounting standards in force, as defined in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), that have been adopted by the European Union, pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 July 2002.

The accounting system of the Company and the Group is supported by appropriate IT systems which have been

The Suitability and Nomination Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors is a document of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. that sets the principles and the framework for the selection, appointment, re-appointment and replacement of Members of the Board of Directors as well as the criteria to be used in the assessment.
The Policy complies with the legislative and regulatory framework in force, including the relevant Joint ESMA and EBA Guidelines on "the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders" (hereinafter the "ESMA/EBA Guidelines"), the ECB Guide to fit and proper assessments, as well as with European best practices in corporate governance. It also meets the requirements stipulated in the Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) with the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (the "HFSF").
The objectives of the Policy are to:
• Set general principles that provide guidance to the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee (hereinafter the "CGSNC") and its Chair on selecting, vetting and proposing candidates to the Board of Directors as well as replacing and renewing the tenure of the Members of the Board of Directors.
The Policy is monitored and reviewed annually by the CGSNC, approved by the Board of Directors and submitted for approval to the General Meeting of Shareholders. Any amendments to the Policy are approved by the Board of Directors and, in case they are material, they are submitted for approval to the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Policy and every material amendment thereto enters into force from the approval thereof by the General Meeting. Material are the amendments that provide for derogations or significantly change the content of the Suitability and Nomination Policy in particular as to the applied general principles and criteria. In preparing, amending or reviewing the Policy, the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee and the Board of Directors shall take into account recommendations or findings of other Board Committees and competent Departments, especially the internal control functions. Internal control functions should provide effective input to the review of the Suitability and Nomination Policy in accordance with their roles. Notably, the Compliance Division should analyze how the Suitability and Nomination Policy affects the Company's compliance with legislation, regulations, internal policies and procedures and should report all identified compliance risks and issues of non-compliance to the CGSNC.
The CGSNC will not propose candidates which it deems not suitable to become Members of the Board of Directors according to the criteria set out in the applicable regulatory framework and this Policy. Suitability is determined in relation to the Policy's criteria for candidates (fit and proper and general suitability) and current composition needs. For the purposes of this Policy, it is defined as the degree to which an individual is deemed to have good repute and to have, individually and collectively with other individuals, adequate knowledge, skills and experience to perform his/her duties and a
clear understanding of the Company's culture, values and overall strategy. Suitability also covers the honesty, integrity and independence of mind of each individual and his or her ability to commit sufficient time to perform his or her duties.
Further to the above, where Members of the Board of Directors do not fulfil the requirements set out, the European Central Bank in the framework of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (hereinafter the "competent authority") shall have the power to remove such Members from the Board of Directors. The competent authority shall in particular verify whether the requirements set out are still fulfilled where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that money laundering or terrorist financing is being or has been committed or attempted or there is increased risk thereof in connection with the Company.
In order to be considered as a suitable candidate by the Board of Directors and its CGSNC, the prospective nominee must: meet the fit and proper requirements, meet individual and collective suitability requirements, have no systematic conflict of interests with the Company, be able to devote sufficient time to the Board of Directors. All nominees must submit a declaration that they meet the relevant requirements.
With the support of the CGSNC, the Board of Directors annually assesses its effectiveness and that of its Committees.
From time to time and at least once every three years, the Board of Directors may appoint external consultants to facilitate a more in-depth review of its effectiveness.
The collective evaluation of the Members of the Board of Directors and its Committees, for the year 2020, was conducted by Nestor Advisors Limited, a London-based corporate governance consulting firm, with the assistance of the CGSNC. The Individual Evaluation of the Members of the Board of Directors for the year 2020 was conducted by the Chair of the Board of Directors.
The main highlights of the collective evaluation for the year 2020 are the following:
again the lowest scoring area, with an improvement over 2018 and 2017, but with a lower score than that of 2019.
Pertaining to the Individual Evaluation of the Members of the Board of Directors for the year 2020, the main finding is that the Board performed its functions effectively in 2020. This was an encouraging finding, since 2020 was an exceptional year. The Covid-19 pandemic changed dramatically the daily work and the general economic environment both worldwide and in Greece. In order to face the new challenges, the Board of Directors and its Committees worked very productively and supported the Management both in facing the consequences of the pandemic and in implementing the major plans of the Company.
During 2021, further to the aforementioned evaluation of the Board of Directors, an assessment of the Board Members' collective suitability in terms of knowledge, skills and experience based on the Joint ESMA/EBA Guidelines on "the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders" (the "Joint ESMA/EBA Guidelines") was conducted with the support of the CGSNC.
In this context and for the purposes of preparing the assessment of the collective suitability, each Member of the Board of Directors conducted an Individual Self-Assessment based on the criteria listed in the Joint ESMA/EBA Guidelines. The Chair of the Board of Directors completed the Collective Suitability Matrix of the Joint ESMA/EBA Guidelines based on the Individual Self Assessments and examining, among others, the areas of governance, risk management, compliance, audit, management, strategy, decision-making and past experience, as suggested by the said Guidelines.
Based on the approved Collective Suitability Matrix, the Board of Directors resolved that it would benefit from gender and ethnically diverse candidates, further Greek market expertise, experience in retail financial services, IT and Digital as well as Human Resources and ESG skills and knowledge and/or experience.
The Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors reviewed issues of potential conflict of interests between the Company and the Executive Members.
Additionally, the good cooperation between all the Executive Members of the Board of Directors and their Non-Executive peers was highlighted.
The Executive Members stand out for their professional expertise, their quality of character, their integrity and their team spirit. They devote sufficient time and demonstrate the required commitment in order to fully comply with the constantly increasing regulatory reporting requirements.
The Non-Executive Members of the Board of Directors expressed their satisfaction to the Executive Members about their positive contribution to the management of the Company.
The Induction and Training Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors is a document of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. for internal use that sets the principles and the approach for the induction and training programs addressed to the Members of the Board of Directors in accordance with the legislative and regulatory framework in force, including the relevant Joint ESMA and EBA Guidelines on "the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders" (ESMA71-99- 598 EBA/GL/2017/12, 21/3/2018) (the "Joint ESMA and EBA Guidelines"), as well as with European best practices in corporate governance.
The Policy applies to the Members of the Board of Directors individually and/or collectively.
The objectives of the induction and training programs provided to the Board of Directors are to:
The Policy is approved by the Board of Directors and is
reviewed every two years by the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee, which may propose relevant amendments to the Board of Directors.
All the newly-appointed Members of the Board of Directors receive key information one month after taking up their position at the latest and the induction should be completed within six months. For this purpose, the Company offers to all the new Members of the Board of Directors an induction program on:
Additionally, the Company, in the framework of the continuous training of the Members of the Board of Directors, provides informative and/or training sessions to all of them as well as the possibility for relevant informative and/or training seminars and meetings on the above-mentioned or other topics concerning the financial sector and the Company.
The Company also provides its Board Members with the opportunity to participate in training and education sessions offered by external institutions. Upon request by any Member, the Company may offer tailor-made programs to further enhance the Members' knowledge and competences.
The Company has established and implements policies and processes on Related Parties Transactions in order to identify, evaluate, approve and properly disclose the transactions it performs with the Related Parties at a Group level on a proportionate basis per legal entity.
All set processes and procedures aim at mitigating the
conflict of interests risk, in the context of which the Related Parties may put their own private interests before the interests of the Company. Specifically, the Compliance Division of each Company is the responsible Unit to monitor the Related Parties transactions for conformity with the principles and process applied.
On a quarterly basis, the Compliance Division reports to the Audit Committee and informs the Board of Directors regarding the outcome of the relevant review conducted, along with any remediation actions, when considered necessary.
The Board of Directors may establish permanent or ad hoc Committees to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities, facilitate its operations and effectively support its decision-making. The Committees have an advisory role but may also assume delegated authorities, as determined by the Board. Each Committee has its dedicated Charter prescribing its composition, tenure, functioning and responsibilities.
Four Committees operate at Board level, namely:
Each Committee consists of no fewer than three Members and shall be deemed in quorum when at least three Members are present, whether physically or via videoconference. The composition of each Committee is proposed to the Board of Directors by the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee taking into account the Suitability and Nomination Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors as well as the respective legal and regulatory framework.
The major focus of the Committees is placed on the oversight and diligence of policies, practices and procedures within their specific area of mandate, in the review of draft resolutions to be approved by the Board of Directors and in the submission of relevant briefings, reports, key information and recommendations to the Board. The Committees report regularly to the Board of Directors about their work.

The Diversity Policy is a document of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. for internal use that sets the principles and the approach for the achievement of diversity in both the Board of Directors and Employees in accordance with the legislative and regulatory framework in force, including the relevant Joint ESMA and EBA Guidelines on "the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders" (ESMA71-99-598 EBA/GL/2017/12, 21/3/2018) ("the Joint ESMA and EBA Guidelines"), as well as with European best practices in corporate governance.
Diversity is defined as the situation whereby the characteristics of the Members of the Board of Directors and Employees, including age, gender, geographical provenance and educational and professional background, are sufficiently different to an extent that allows a variety of views within the Board of Directors and Employees.
While the diversity of the Board of Directors is not a criterion for the assessment of the Members' individual suitability, diversity should be taken into account when selecting and assessing Members of the Board of Directors. Diversity within the Board of Directors leads to a broader range of experience, knowledge, skills and values and is one of the factors that enhance its functioning and address the phenomenon of "groupthink". Thus, a more diverse Board of Directors, in its supervisory and management functions, can reduce the phenomenon of "groupthink" and facilitate independent opinions and constructive challenging in the process of decisionmaking.
The Policy applies to the selection procedure followed for the Members of the Board of Directors and is also taken into consideration for the appointment of the Company's Senior Management and Employees.
The objectives of the Policy are to:
• Ensure that, when setting diversity objectives, the Company considers diversity benchmarking results published by competent authorities, the EBA or other relevant international bodies or organizations.
The Policy is approved by the Board of Directors and is reviewed every two years by the Corporate Governance, Suitability and Nominations Committee, which may propose relevant amendments to the Board of Directors.
According to the existing Greek legislative framework concerning the suitability requirements for the members of the Board of Directors of credit institutions which have received capital support from the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (Law 3864/2010, Article 10, as in force), the Members of the Board of Directors must fulfil certain criteria in addition to those required by the European legislation, such as:
• experience of at least ten years at senior managerial level in the areas of banking, audit, risk management or distressed asset management.
Additionally, the Non-Executive Members:
• must have served for at least three years as Board members of a credit institution, of a company active in the financial sector or of an international financial institution.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors:
• must include at least three experts as independent non-executive members with adequate knowledge and international experience of at least fifteen years in relevant banking institutions, of which at least three years' experience in a Board of an international banking group not operating in the Greek market. These experts should have no relationship with credit institutions operating in Greece over the previous ten years.
These requirements may have as a result the limitation of the potential diversity of candidates for the Board of Directors, in particular as far as age, gender and experience are concerned.
The Company, taking into account the existing framework, embraces the benefits of having a diverse Board of Directors. It recognizes that diversity can help achieve maximum team performance and effectiveness, enhance innovation and creativity and promote critical thinking and team cooperation within the Board. In this context, a diversified Board of Directors
fosters constructive challenge and discussion on the basis of different points of view. It can help improve decision-making regarding strategies and risk-taking by encompassing a broader range of views, opinions, experience, perception, values and backgrounds. It reduces the phenomena of "groupthink" and "herd behavior".
A truly diverse Board of Directors allows and makes good use of differences in skills, regional and industry experience, background, abilities, qualifications, professional training, gender and other distinctions between the Members. Pursuant to the Suitability and Nomination Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors of the Company, all Board appointments are made on merit in the context of the skills, experience, knowledge and independence which the Board as a whole requires in order to be effective.
The above differentiation parameters should be taken into consideration in determining the best possible composition of the Board of Directors and, when possible, should be balanced appropriately.
At least the following diversity aspects shall be taken into consideration for all Board appointments, without prejudice to the legislative and regulatory framework and to the Suitability and Nomination Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors of the Company:
In reviewing the composition of the Board of
Directors and in identifying suitable candidates for appointment, the Corporate Governance, Sustainability and Nominations Committee (the "CGSNC"), without prejudice to the provisions of Law 3864/2010, as in force, concerning the representative of the HFSF, will:
As part of the annual evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and its Committees, the CGSNC will consider the balance of values, skills, experience, independence and knowledge of the Board of Directors, the diversity representation in the Board, including gender, and other factors relevant to its effectiveness.
The CGSNC will discuss and agree annually upon all measurable objectives for achieving diversity in the Board of Directors. In the event that any diversity objectives or targets have not been met, the CGSNC shall explain the relevant reasons and the measures to be taken, in order to ensure that the diversity objectives and targets will be met.
The CGSNC shall review and monitor regularly the effectiveness of the Policy and make relevant recommendations to the Board of Directors. Furthermore, it will review regularly the proportion of women who are employed by the Company as a whole, in senior management positions and in the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors' actual target is that the percentage of the less represented gender in the Board is to reach at least 30% in the next three years, while always considering industry trends and best practices.
All the candidates for the Board of Directors shall be assessed on the basis of the same criteria, irrespective of gender, since the eligible Members for the Board of Directors must fulfil all the conditions set in relation to their qualifications. In this context, men and women shall have equal opportunities to be nominated under the condition that they fulfil all the other prerequisites in accordance with the Suitability and Nomination Policy for the Members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company shall not nominate Members of the Board of Directors with the sole purpose of increasing diversity to the detriment of the functioning and suitability of
the Board of Directors collectively or at the expense of the suitability of individual Members of the Board of Directors.

To the Shareholders of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Company and the Group), which comprise the separate and consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, and the separate and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate and consolidated financial position of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2021 and its separate and consolidated financial performance and its separate and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as endorsed by the European Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been incorporated into the Greek legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We have been independent of the Company and the Group during the whole period of our appointment, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as incorporated into the Greek legislation and the ethical requirements in Greece, relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements. We have fulfilled our ethical requirements in accordance with the applicable legislation and the abovementioned Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters and the assessed risks of material misstatements were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Loans at amortized cost of the Group amounted to € 30,943 million for the Group at 31 December 2021 excluding Senior Notes (€38,792 million at 31 December 2020) and allowance for expected credit losses amounted to € 2,077 million at 31 December 2021 (€9,080 at 31 December 2020).
Measurement of ECL on loans at amortized cost is deemed a key audit matter as the determination of assumptions used, involves critical Management judgments and accounting estimates with high level of subjectivity and complexity.
The most significant Management judgements and estimates, relate to:
Based on our risk assessment and following a risk-based approach, we have evaluated the impairment methodologies applied and assumptions made by Management in relation to this key audit matter, and we performed, inter alia, the following audit procedures:
| Key audit matters | How our audit addressed the Key audit matters | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) for loans at amortized cost – (continued) | |||||
| Management has provided further information about principles and accounting policies for determining the ECL on loans at amortized cost and management of credit risk in Notes 1.2.13, 11, 19 and 43.1 to the consolidated financial statements. |
We obtained and substantively tested evidence of timely identification of exposures with significant increase in credit risk and timely identification of credit impaired exposures. We performed substantive procedures to test the accuracy and completeness of critical data used in the ECL models by agreeing a sample of ECL calculation data points to source systems or documentation, including balance sheet data used to run the models. |
||||
| Οn a sample basis we assessed whether the approach used in the measurement of impairment for the individually assessed credit impaired exposures is appropriate, and we tested the reasonableness of significant assumptions used, including valuation of collaterals (where we also made use of our real estate specialists), time to liquidate collaterals, and the estimation of the discounted future cash flows. |
|||||
| We assessed the appropriateness of post model adjustments, including those which were applied as a result of the expected sale of certain loan portfolios and as a result of ad hoc management actions by considering the data, judgements, methodologies and governance of these adjustments. |
|||||
| Given the complexity and granularity of the related disclosures, we assessed their completeness and accuracy in accordance with the provisions of the relevant accounting standards. |
The Group have recognized a deferred tax asset of € 5,428 million as at 31 December 2021 compared to € 5,279 million as at 31 December 2020.
The recognition and measurement of the deferred tax asset is considered a key audit matter as it is involves a high degree of judgment and significant accounting estimates to be made by Management regarding the ability to generate sufficient future taxable profits.
The most significant judgements and estimates used by Management regarding future profit forecasts and recoverability of deferred tax assets include:
Management has provided further information about the deferred tax asset in Notes 1.2.16, 13 and 25 to the consolidated financial statements.
Key audit matters How our audit addressed the Key audit matters
Based on our risk assessment, we evaluated the method used to determine the amount of deferred tax asset recognized and examined the budgets prepared and significant assumptions made by Management relating to the future taxable profits.
Our examination included the following elements where we also made use of our tax specialists:
We evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements including the appropriateness of the assumptions disclosed.
The Company's and the Group's financial reporting processes are highly dependent on Information Technology ("IT") systems supporting automated accounting and reconciliation procedures, thus leading to a complex IT environment, pervasive in nature and in which a significant number of transactions are processed daily, across numerous locations.
This is a key audit matter since it is important that controls over access security, cyber risks, system change control and datacenter and network operations, are designed and operate effectively to ensure complete and accurate financial records and information.
Management has provided further information about General Information Technology Controls under the header "Internal Control System" in Section C of the Corporate Governance Statement for the year 2021
Based on our risk assessment, we have tested the design and operating effectiveness of General Information Technology Controls (GITCs) relevant for financial reporting. Our assessment included the evaluation of user access over applications, operating systems and databases, the process followed over changes made to information systems, as well as the evaluation of datacenter and network IT operations.
In summary, our key audit activities included, among others, testing of:

• We assessed the design and implementation of controls around the review and approval of this transaction, as well as the determination of the appropriate accounting treatment. |
||||
| b) In April 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. (former Alpha Bank S.A.) proceeded to the demerger by way of a hive-down of its banking operations into a newly incorporated banking institution named Alpha Bank S.A. |
• We examined the related legal documents for the hive down, the transformation balance sheet and the related accounting entries to ascertain whether this was done in accordance with IFRS. |
||||
| c) In June 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. sold 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes issued by three of the Galaxy SPEs to funds managed by Davidson Kepner S.A. together with 80% of its wholly owned subsidiary Cepal Holding Single Member Firm S.A. ("Cepal") and proceeded with the derecognition of the underlying securitized loans from Group financial statements and the deconsolidation of Cepal which continued to be recognised as an equity |
• We examined relevant asset transfer agreements and other related legal documents including the operational agreement of the related securitization vehicles as well as the relevant quantitative assessment performed by the Group to ascertain whether the criteria for derecognition according to IFRS are met. |

| investment. The group recognised a loss of Euro 2,260 million from the sale of the notes and the derecognition of the securitised loans and a gain of Euro 111 million from the sale of the 80% of Cepal |
• We analysed the contractual terms, substantial assumptions and conditions to assess if the Group retained control over the transferred loans or Cepal. |

| Due to the complexity and magnitude of the above transactions and the significance of their relating accounting effect we have considered the above transactions as a key audit matter. |
• We reviewed and assessed the accounting policy of the Group and the accounting assessment for the specific transaction. |

Management has provided further information about the aforementioned transactions in Notes 19 and "Corporate Transformation – Hive Down" to the Group financial statements.
judgements and estimates and assessed their adequacy against the relevant accounting standards.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information, included in the Annual Report prepared in accordance with Law 3556/2007, comprises the Board of Directors' Annual Management Report, referred to in the section "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements", the Statement by the Members of the Board of Directors, the Explanatory Report of the Board of Directors and the Corporate Governance Statement but does not include the separate and consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company and the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (article 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's and Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as these have been incorporated into Greek legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as these have been incorporated into Greek legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters.
Taking into consideration that Management is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors' Annual Management report which also includes the Corporate Governance Statement, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 of Law 4336/2015 (part B) we note the following:
Our audit opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee of the Company referred to in Article 11 of the European Union (EU) Regulation 537/2014.
We have not provided to the Company and the Group any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 of EU Regulation 537/2014.
The allowable non-audit services provided to the Company and the Group by Deloitte Certified Public Accountants S.A., which is a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited ("DTTL"), during the year ended 31 December 2021 are disclosed in Note 43 and 46 to the separate and consolidated financial statements respectively.
We were first appointed as statutory auditors by the general assembly of the shareholders of the Company (former Alpha Bank S.A.) on 30 June 2017. The year ended 31 December 2021 is the fifth consecutive year that we serve as statutory auditors.
The Company retains an Internal Regulation according to the provisions of article 14 of Law 4706/2020.
We have examined the digital file of the Company and the Group of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., prepared in accordance with the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF), defined by the Commission Delegated EU Regulation 2019/815 as amended by EU Regulation 2020/1989 ("ESEF Regulation"), which include the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 in XHTML format (ab-2021-12-31.xtml) as well as the XBRL file (5299009N55YRQC69CN08- 2021-12-31-en.zip) with the appropriate tagging on these consolidated financial statements.
The ESEF digital files are prepared in accordance with the ESEF Regulation, and the Interpretation Announcement 2020/C 379/01 of the European Commission dated 10 November 2020, as provided by L.3556/2007 and the relevant announcements of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and the Athens Stock Exchange (the "ESEF Regulatory Framework"). In summary this Regulatory Framework includes, inter alia, the following requirements:
Regulatory requirements included in ESEF Regulatory Framework consist an appropriate basis for the purpose of expressing a conclusion that provides reasonable assurance.
Management is responsible for the preparation and submission of these separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021, in accordance with the requirements set by the ESEF Regulatory Framework and for such internal controls as Management determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the digital files that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to design and perform this assurance procedures in accordance with the decision 214/4/11- 02-2022 of the board of Hellenic Accounting and Auditing Oversight Board (HAASOB) and the "Guidelines in connection with the procedures and the assurance report of the certified auditors on the ESEF reported of Issuers with listed shares in the Hellenic capital market" dated 14/02/2022 as issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "ESEF Guidelines") in order to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group, prepared by Management in accordance with ESEF, comply in all material respects with the ESEF Regulatory Framework, as currently in force.
In conducting this work, we have complied with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as incorporated into the Greek legislation and the independence rules, in accordance with Law 4449/2017 and EU Regulation No 537/2014.
The assurance work performed, is limited to the items included in the ESΕF Guidelines and has been performed in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 "Assurance engagements other than audits or review of historical financial information". Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that this work will always detect a material misstatement when it exists relating to the compliance with the requirements of ESEF Regulatory Framework.
Conclusion
appropriate tagging on these consolidated financial statements are prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of ESEF Regulatory Framework. Athens, 31 March 2022 Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, we conclude that the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 prepared in XHTML format (ab-2021-12-31.xtml) as well as the XBRL file (5299009N55YRQC69CN08-2021-12-31-en.zip) with the appropriate tagging on these consolidated financial statements are prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of ESEF Regulatory Framework.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, we conclude that the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 prepared in XHTML

On 16 April 2021, the demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector of Alpha Bank S.A. (the "Demerged") was completed and its core banking operations were contributed into a new company – credit institution which was registered under G.E.M.I. on the same date under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Beneficiary"). Specifically, Alpha Bank S.A substituted the Demerged as universal successor, in all of its assets and liabilities within the banking business sector transferred to it, as these are included in the Transformation balance sheet of 30.6.2020 and were formed until 16.4.2021, the completion date of the demerger.
The "Demerged" by assuming the 100% of the issued shares of Alpha Bank S.A., becomes the parent entity of the bank and its subsdiaries (Alpha Bank Group).

The present annual financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 31st March 2022.
The financial statements for the current period ending at 31.12.2021 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, in accordance with Regulation 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on 19 July 2002.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the financial statements are the same as those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended on 31.12.2020, after taking into account:
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. However, some assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Those assets are the following:
The financial statements are presented in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
The financial statements as at 31.12.2021 have been prepared based on the going concern principle. For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the formation, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the following areas which are considered important during its assessment:
In early 2020, the emergence and rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic overturned the growth prospects of the global and the Greek economy. Many governments, in an effort to boost the resilience of their national economies, have taken to an unprecedented extent emergency fiscal measure to support national health systems and ensure employment and entrepreneurship. The fiscal support policy that the government has followed mitigated, in part, the adverse effects of the recession that reached 9% on an annual basis in 2020. The swift and strong recovery of economic activity in the first nine
months of 2021, recouped a significant part of the losses registered because of the recession of the previous year, as GDP at constant prices increased by 8.3% on an annual basis based on the adjusted criteria.
The steep rebound of GDP in 2021 can be attributed, firstly, to the private consumption, which increased by 7.8%, on an annual basis, contributing by 5.5 points on GDP growth and which was driven by the sharp increase in savings and the rise in employment. Investments have marked the second greater positive contribution to the GDP increase in 2021 (2.3 percentage points), as they increased by 19.6%, which amongst individual categories was mainly attributed to the rise of investment in machinery and technological equipment (+34.5% on an annual basis). The good performance of exports of services, and especially the remarkable recovery of tourism in 2021, have resulted in the positive contribution of net exports to the GDP increase, by 0.9 percentage points. Finally, public consumption has increased by 3.7% in 2021, in comparison to 2020, contributing to GDP increase by 0.8 percentage points, as a result of fiscal interventions addressing the negative impacts of the pandemic, as well as other fiscal support measures for the strengthening of households and businesses, which include, amongst others, the provision of subsidies for heating, electricity and petroleum. On the contrary, inventories have significantly decreased, during the previous year, deducting 1.1 percentage points from the GDP rise.
Some particularly favorable indications that the recovery of the Greek economy will be strong are the following: first, conditions for the change of the composition of the economic growth are put in place, which is expected to derive mainly from investment expenditure. The increase of investment in the short-term will be determined by the evolution of the country's sovereign credit rating towards the so-called "investment grade", the disbursement of funds in the context of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as well as the implementation of structural reforms that will establish a business-friendly environment. The RRF funding can be demonstrated a stable basis for a strong continued growth of the Greek economy and is expected to mobilize new investments and sustainable growth rates. The funds, according to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), are expected to mobilize new investments of around EUR 57.5 billion in 2021-2026, covering to a large extent the investment gap that was created in Greece in the previous decade. Secondly, in the estimation for new increase of tourist arrivals and proceeds from tourism, the significant recovery of turnover of businesses and finally, the gradual stabilisation of the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI).
Despite the positive expectations, the challenges and uncertainties are retained with regards to the evolution of the disease Covid-19 and its mutations, as well as the potential impacts of permanent nature in productivity, employment, behavior of households, resilience of businesses and risks of financing the economically weak economies. In addition, inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, has increased the second half of 2021 primarily due to the rising energy prices globally, the supply chains disruptions and shortages of raw materials. In December 2021 the harmonized index of consumer prices increased by 4.4%, compared to -2.4% in the respective month of 2020, while the average ratio increased in 2021 by 0.6% compared to the previous year. In 2022, the harmonized index is expected to amount to 3.1% according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (World Economic Outlook, December 2021) and to 3% according to the European Central Bank (Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area countries, December 2021).
Finally, the economic implications of the full-scale invasion from Russia to Ukraine at the beginning of the year, as well as the sanctions against Russia, are basically related with a longer period of inflation tensions in Eurozone. These tensions are fueled by gas, oil and food prices which are expected to remain high over the medium term, as well as from increased uncertainty from the disruption in financial markets. As a result, the impact of high energy prices on households' real incomes as well as on industries supply lines, is expected to weaken the increase in private consumption. Consequently, the three basic channels through which it is expected that the geopolitical developments will affect the Greek economy are the energy prices, tourism and a potential disruption of financial markets. The potential economic or non-economic impact of these conditions on the Group depends on the manner that the crisis is going to unfold. This crisis and its impact on the domestic and global economic conditions could affect the capacity of the Group to generate income or satisfy financial targets, increase expenses, or result in higher expected credit losses. Given the uncertainty that exists it is not possible to estimate with reliance the future economic impact (note 43.8).
Regarding the liquidity levels of the Group, it is noted that there was no adverse change due to Covid-19 in terms of the ability to draw liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and from repos interbank transactions (with or without collateral). The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with very low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 31.12.2021 amounts to € 12.9 billion (note 27). In addition,
in order to reinforce its liquidity, the Bank issued on 16.9.2021 a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 500 mil., with a 6.5 year maturity, callable in year 5.5 with a coupon of 2.5% and a yield of 2.625%, while, additionally on 10.12.2021 the Bank issued a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 400 mil, with a 2-year maturity, with a coupon of 3% and callable the first year. In addition, it is important that the European Central Bank, in its decisions in March, April and December 2020, accepted the securities of the Hellenic Republic as collateral for liquidity operations. It is noted that the available eligible collaterals through which the drawing of liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and / or from third sources is ensured, to the extent required, amounts to € 13 billion as of 31.12.2021. In addition, during the year there was an increase in private sector deposits of € 3.6 billion. As a result of the above, the liquidity ratios (liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio) exceed the supervisory limits that have been set. In addition, considering the conditions that form the current economic environment, stress test exercises are carried out regularly for liquidity purposes, in order to assess possible outflows (contractual or potential). Based on these exercises, the Group successfully overcomes the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer. As a result, based on the Group's plan as well on internal stress tests the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves to meet its needs.
On 31.12.2021, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group stands at 13.2%, while the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio at 16.1%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank as further described in note 44. It is also important that due to the spread of Covid-19, the European Central Bank decided to temporarily deviate from the minimum limits of regulatory capital for European Banks at least until the end of 2022. The Bank in order to strengthen its capital proceeded on 4.3.2021 to the issuance of new Tier 2 bond amounting to € 500 mil, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with initial fixed coupon of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, which resets to a new rate effective from the call date until maturity and which is set based on the 5-year swap rate plus a margin 5.823% for the residual maturity. It is also noted that within 2021 the Group recognized significant losses due to the finalisation of Galaxy (sale of 80% of Cepal Holding SA and of 51% of Mezzanine and Junior securitization notes of Galaxy securitization) and Cosmos (sale of 51% of Mezzanine and Junior securitization notes of Cosmos securitization) transactions, as well as due to the increased impairment losses, which are related to the imminent sales of portfolios of overdue loans. However, given the relief of risk weighted assets from the Galaxy and Cosmos transactions, the Group capital adequacy stood at a level higher that the capital requirement thresholds. In addition, within the third quarter of 2021 the share capital increase of the parent company was completed resulting in raising funds of € 800 million. Finally, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (2020-2023). Taking into consideration the results of the capital Stress Test and the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), the actions performed within 2021 (share capital increase, Tier 2 issuance, NPE reduction) as well as the actions that aim in the creation of internal capital through profitability, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio and the MREL ratio will remain higher than the required minimum levels.
In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan which is intended to drive the sustainable development and profitability of the Group. The updated Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:
In addition, in the context of the updated strategic plan, capital measures are taken through the implementation of specific transactions that provide additional capital buffers.
For the support of the implementation of the updated strategic plan with regards to the asset growth initiative, the parent company has successfully completed increase of share capital, raising new capital of € 800 million. The Group estimates that the share capital increase ensures from the start the growth capital that is expected to be utilised for this purpose until the end of 2024.
The updated strategic plan aims in aggregate at the reform of the Group's balance sheet and in the mid-term at the increase of return on equity, preserving at the same time the capital position, over the required minimum thresholds that apply.
Based on the above and taking into account:
the Board of Directors estimates that, at least for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the conditions for the application of the going concern principle for the preparation of its financial statements are met.
The following are the amendments to standards applied from 1.1.2021:
‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 4 "Insurance Contracts": Extension of the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 (Regulation 2020/2097/15.12.2020)
On 25.6.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 4 with which extended the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 by two years. In this context, companies that have used the temporary exception from applying IFRS 9 shall apply the standard by 1.1.2023.
The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group since the Group has not made use of the temporary exception from IFRS 9.
‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 9 "Financial Instruments", to International Accounting Standard 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement", to International Financial Reporting Standard 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures", to International Financial Reporting Standard 4 "Insurance Contracts" and International Financial Reporting Standard 16 "Leases": Interest rate benchmark reform – phase 2 (Regulation 2021/25/13.1.2021)
On 27.8.2020 the International Accounting Standard Board issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 in the context of Phase 2 of the IBOR project that address issues that arise following the reform of an interest rate benchmark rate, including the replacement of one benchmark rate with an alternative one. The key reliefs provided by the Phase 2 amendments are as follows:
benchmark reform will not result in an immediate gain or loss in the income statement but in the recalculation of the interest rate. The same practical expedient applies for insurers that are applying the temporary exemption from IFRS 9.
The adoption of the above amendment does not have an impact on the financial statements because on the one hand changes in the contractual cash flows of the financial instruments are treated through the change of the discount rate and on the other hand because the existing hedging relationships are not affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. Relevant disclosures are presented in note 43.7.
‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 16 "Leases": Covid-19 Related rent concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (Regulation 2021/1421/30.8.2021)
On 31.3.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS16 with which it extended by one year the possibility of the lessee to elect (practical expedient) not to assess whether a rent concession is a lease modification. The practical expedient had been provided with the amendment of the standard issued on 28.5.2020.
The adoption of the above amendment had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.
Except for the standards mentioned above, the European Union has adopted IFRS 17 as well as the following amendments to standards which are effective for annual periods beginning after 1.1.2021 and have not been early adopted by the Group.
‣ Amendment to the International Financial Reporting Standard 3 "Business Combinations": Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022
On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 3 in order to update references to the Conceptual Framework. More specifically:
The adoption of the above amendment is not expected to have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.
On 18.5.2017 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 17 which replaces IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts". In contrast to IFRS 4, the new standard introduces a consistent methodology for the measurement of insurance contracts. The key principles in IFRS 17 are the following:
An entity:
available information about the fulfilment cash flows in a way that is consistent with observable market information; plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset)
On 25.6.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 17 which aimed to ease implementation of the standard and make it easier for entities to explain their financial performance. Additionally, with the amendment the effective date of the standard was postponed to 1.1.2023.
Finally, it is noted that under the Regulation of the European Union that adopted above standard, an entity may choose not to apply paragraph 22 of the standard, in accordance with which an entity shall not include contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group, to:
(a) groups of insurance contracts with direct participation features and groups of investment contracts with discretionary participation features and with cash flows that affect or are affected by cash flows to policyholders of other contracts; (b) groups of insurance contracts that are managed across generations of contracts and that meet the conditions laid down in Article 77b of Directive 2009/138/EC and have been approved by supervisory authorities for the application of the matching adjustment.
The Group is examining the impact form the adoption of IFRS 17 on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Disclosure of accounting policies (Regulation 2022/357/2.3.2022)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 12.2.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 1 with which it clarified that:
The Group is examining the impact form the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors": Definition of accounting estimates (Regulation 2022/357/2.3.2022)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 12.2.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 8 with which:

The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 16 "Property, plant and equipment": Proceeds before intended use (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022
On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 16 which prohibits deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, the proceeds from selling such items and the cost of producing them must be recognized in profit or loss.
The Group is examining the impact form the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 37 "Liabilities, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets": Onerous Contracts – Cost of fulfilling a contract (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022
On 14.5.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 37 in order to clarify that the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract. These costs are both the incremental costs of fulfilling a contract – for example direct labour and materials- and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling a contract – for example the depreciation charge of an item of property plant and equipment used in fulfilling that contract.
The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Annual Improvements – cycle 2018-2020 (Regulation 2021/1080/28.6.2021)
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2022
As part of the annual improvements project, the International Accounting Standards Board issued on 14.5.2020 non-urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41.
The above amendments are not expected to have any impact on the financial statements of the Group.
In addition, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued the following standards and amendments to standards the effective date of which is for annual periods beginning after 1.1.2021, which have not yet been adopted by the European Union and which have not been early applied by the Group.
‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and to International Accounting Standard 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.
Effective date: To be determined.
On 11.9.2014 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in order to clarify the accounting treatment of a transaction of sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. In particular, IFRS 10 was amended in order to be clarified that in case that as a result of a transaction with an associate or joint venture, a parent (investor) loses control of a subsidiary, which does not constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, it shall recognise to profit or loss only the part of the gain or loss which is related to the unrelated investor's interests in that associate or joint venture. The remaining part of the gain from the transaction shall be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate or joint venture. In addition, in case the investor retains an investment in the former subsidiary and the former subsidiary is now an associate or joint venture, it recognises the part of the gain or loss resulting from the remeasurement at fair value of the investment retained in that former subsidiary in its profit or loss only to the extent of the
unrelated investor's interests in the new associate or joint venture. The remaining part of the gain is eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment retained in the former subsidiary.
In IAS 28, respectively, it was clarified that the partial recognition of the gains or losses shall be applied only when the involved assets do not constitute a business. Otherwise, the total of the gain or loss shall be recognised.
On 17.12.2015, the International Accounting Standards Board deferred the effective date for the application of the amendment that had been initially determined. The new effective date will be determined by the International Accounting Standards Board at a future date after taking into account the results of its project relating to the equity method.
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2016
On 30.1.2014 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 14. The new standard, which is limited-scope, addresses the accounting treatment and the disclosures required for regulatory deferral accounts that are maintained in accordance with local legislation when an entity provides rate-regulated goods or services. The scope of this standard is limited to first-time adopters that recognized regulatory deferral accounts in their financial statements in accordance with their previous GAAP. IFRS 14 permits these entities to capitalize expenditure that non-rate-regulated entities would recognize as expense.
It is noted that European Union has decided not to launch the endorsement of this standard and to wait for the final standard. The above standard does not apply to the financial statements of the Group.
‣Amendment to International Financial reporting Standard 17: "Insurance Contracts": Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative information
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 9.12.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 17 according to which entities are permitted on initial application of IFRS 17 to classify financial assets in the comparative period in a way that aligns with how the entity would classify them on IFRS 9 transition. The amendment specifies how this option is applied depending on whether the entity applies IFRS 9 for the first time at the same time as IFRS 17 or whether it has already applied it in a previous period.
The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of liabilities as current or non-current
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 23.1.2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 1 relating to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:
On 15.7.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board extended effective date by one year taking into account the impact of Covid-19.
The above amendment will have no impact on the financial statements of the Group since in Group's balance sheet liabilities are not classified as current and non-current.
On 7.5.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 12 with which it narrowed the scope of the recognition exception according to which, in specific circumstances, entities are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendment clarifies that the exception no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The Group is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Alpha Services and Holdings, its subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. The financial statements used to prepare the consolidated financial statements have been prepared as at 31.12.2021 and the accounting policies applied in their preparation, when necessary, were adjusted to ensure consistency with the Group accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group.
The Group takes into account the following factors, in assessing control:
Power arises from currently exercisable rights that provide the Group with the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee. In a straightforward case, rights that provide power are derived from voting rights granted by equity instruments such as shares. In other cases, power results from contractual arrangements.
The Group's returns are considered variable, when these returns have the potential to vary as a result of the investee's performance. Variability of returns is judged based on the substance of the arrangement, regardless of their legal form.
The Group, in order to evaluate the link between power and returns, assesses whether it exercises its power for its own benefit or on behalf of other parties, thus acting as either a principal or an agent, respectively. If the Group determines that it acts as a principal, then it controls the investee and consolidation is required. Otherwise, control does not exist and there is no requirement to consolidate.
In cases where the power over an investee arises from voting rights, the Group primarily assesses whether it controls the investee through holding more than 50% of the voting rights. However, the Group can have power even if it holds less than 50% of the voting rights of the investee, through:
In cases of structured entities where the voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements (i.e. securitization vehicles or mutual funds), the Group assesses the existence of control based on the following:
Furthermore, regarding the structured entities that are managed by the Group, the Group assesses if it acts as principal or an agent based on the extent of its decision – making authority over the entity's activities, the rights of third parties and the degree of its exposure to variability of returns due to its involvement with the entity.
The Group, based on the above criteria, controls structured entities established for the securitization of loan portfolios.
The Group reassess whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method is applied when the Group obtains control of other companies or units that meet the definition of a business. Application of the acquisition method requires identifying the acquirer, determining the acquisition date and measuring the consideration transferred, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non controlling interest in the acquiree, in order to determine the amount of goodwill or gain arising from the business combination.
The consideration transferred is measured at fair value on acquisition date. Consideration includes also the fair value of any contingent consideration. The obligation to pay contingent consideration is recognized as a liability or as an equity component, in accordance with IAS 32. The right to the return of a previously transferred consideration is classified as an asset, if specified conditions are met. Subsequently, and to the extent that changes in the value of the contingent consideration do not constitute measurement period adjustments, contingent consideration is measured as follows:
The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are initially recognised on acquisition date at their fair value, except from specific assets or liabilities for which a different measurement basis is required. Any non controlling interests are recognised at either fair value or at their proportionate share in the acquiree's identifiable net assets, as long as they are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation. Otherwise, they are measured at their acquisition date fair values.
is recognised as goodwill if the above difference is positive or as a gain in profit or loss if the difference is negative.
During the measurement period, the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date are adjusted in order to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. These adjustments affect accordingly the amount of goodwill. The measurement period ends as soon as the information about facts and circumstances existed as of the acquisition date has been obtained. However, the measurement period shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date.
When the Group's interest in a subsidiary increases as a result of an acquisition, the difference between the consideration paid and the share of net assets acquired is recognized directly in retained earnings.
Sales of ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control for the Group are accounted for as equity transactions and the gain or loss arising from the sale is recognized directly in retained earnings.
Intercompany transactions are eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred, in which case, it is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Group holds, directly or indirectly, more than 20% of the share capital of the company concerned without having control or joint control, unless the ownership of more than 20% does not ensure significant influence, e.g. due to lack of representation of the Group in the company's Board of Directors or due to the Group's non-participation in the policy making process.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The investment is initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post acquisition change in the Group's share of net assets of the associate. In case the losses according to the equity method exceed the investment in ordinary shares, they are recognized as a reduction of other elements that are essentially an extension of the investment in the associate.
The Group's share of the associate's profit or loss and other comprehensive income is separately recognized in the income statement and in the statement of comprehensive income, accordingly.

The Group applies IFRS 11 which deals with the accounting treatment of interests in joint arrangements. All joint arrangements in which the Group participates and has joint control are joint ventures, which are accounted for by using the equity method.
A detailed list of all Group subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, as well as the Group's ownership interest in them, is provided in note 40.
Operating segments are determined and measured based on the information provided to the Executive Committee of the parent Company of the Group, which is the body responsible for the allocation of resourses between the Group's operating segments and the assessment of their performance.
Based on the above, and given the Group's administrative structure and activities, the following operating segments have been determined:
Since the Group operates in various geographical areas, apart from the operating segments identified above, the financial statements contain information based on the below distinction:
It is noted that the methods used to measure operating segments for the purpose of reporting to the Executive Committee are not different from those required by the International Financial Reporting Standards.
Detailed information relating to operating segments is provided in note 42.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency and the currency of the country of incorporation of the parent company of the Group.
Items included in the financial statements of the subsidiaries are measured in the functional currency of each subsidiary which is the currency of the company's country of incorporation or the currency used in the majority of the transactions held. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of each subsidiary at the closing exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising from the translation are recognized in the income statement.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date, except for nonmonetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value which are translated at the exchange rate of the date that the fair value is determined. The exchange differences relating to these items are part of the change in fair value and they are recognized in the income statement or recorded directly in equity depending on the classification of the non-monetary item.
The financial statements of all group entities that have a functional currency that is different from the presentation currency of the Group financial statements are translated as follows:
The resulting exchange difference from the retranslation and those arising from other monetary items designated as a part of the net investment in the entity are recorded in equity. When a foreign entity is sold, the exchange differences are reclassified to the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consists of:
Short-term balances are amounts that mature within three months of the balance sheet date.
Non-restricted placements with Central Banks, short-term balances due from banks and Reverse Repo agreements are measured at amortised cost.
The Group recognises financial assets or financial liabilities in its statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the terms of the contract.
At initial recognition the Group measures financial assets and liabilities at fair values. Financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value plus or minus transaction costs and income or fees that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized at the settlement date with the exception of equity shares and derivatives that are recognized on trade date. For bonds that are measured at fair value, the change in fair value during the period between the trade date and the settlement date is recognized in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income based on the bond's classification category.
The Group classifies its financial assets as:
For each of the above categories the following apply:
In this category are classified the financial assets that satisfy both of the following criteria:
The above category is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and is periodically assessed for expected credit losses, as it is further described in notes 1.2.13 and 1.2.14.
In this category are classified the financial assets that satisfy both of the following criteria:
The above category is periodically assessed for expected credit losses, as it is further described in notes 1.2.13 and 1.2.14.
In this category are classified equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination and that Group decides, at initial recognition, to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income. This decision is irrevocable. With the exception of dividends, which are directly recognized in profit or loss, all other gains and losses arising from those instruments are directly recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss. For those equity instruments there is no impairment assessment.
Financial assets included in this category are:
As at the reporting date, the Group had not designated, at initial recognition, any financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss.
The business model reflects how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, the Group's business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Group's business model is determined at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. Accordingly, business model does not depend on management's intentions for an individual instrument but it is determined on a higher level of aggregation.
The business models of the Group are determined by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) or the Executive Committee (ExCo) which decide on the determination of the business model both for the loans and advances to customers and the securities portfolio. In this context:
The determination of the above business models has been based on:
The Group, at each reporting date, reassesses its business models in order to confirm that there has been no change compared to the prior period or application of a new business model. In the context of the reassessment of the hold to collect business model past sales as well as expected future sales are taken into account. In this assessment, the following cases of sales are considered consistent with a hold to collect business model:
For bonds portfolio, sales deemed insignificant are those that sum up to 5% of the current total portfolio size or the portfolio of the last quarterly reporting period, whichever is higher.
In addition, for bond portfolio the following sales are considered consistent with a hold to collect business model:
For the purposes of applying the SPPI assessment:

Contractual terms that introduce exposure to risks and volatility in the contractual cash flows that are not related to a basic lending arrangement, such as exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
In this context, in assessing whether contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Group assesses whether the instrument contain contractual terms that change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows. More specifically, the following are taken into account:
Especially in the case of financing of a special purpose vehicle, in order for the loan to meet the criterion that its cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, among other, at least one of the following conditions should apply:
In addition, in determining whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, it is assessed whether time value of money element has been modified. Time value of money is the element of interest that provides consideration for only the passage of time. That is, the time value of money element does not provide consideration for other risks or costs associated with holding the financial asset. However, in some cases, the time value of money element may be modified. That would be the case, for example, if a financial asset's interest rate is periodically reset but the frequency of that reset does not match the tenor of the interest rate or if a financial asset's interest rate is periodically reset to an average of particular short- and long-term interest rates. In such cases, the Group assesses the modification to determine whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The objective of the assessment is to determine how different the contractual (undiscounted) cash flows could be from the (undiscounted) cash flows that would arise if the time value of money element was not modified (benchmark test). The effect of the modified time value of money element must be considered in each reporting period and cumulatively over the life of the instrument. If the Group concludes that the contractual (undiscounted) cash flows could be significantly different from the (undiscounted) benchmark cash flows, the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. According to the policy set by the Group, the above assessment test does not result in significant different contractual cash flows when the cumulative difference over the life of the instrument does not exceed 10% and at the same time the number of individual cash flows with a difference of more than 10% do not exceed 5% of total reporting periods of the asset until maturity.
Reclassifications of financial assets between measurement categories occur when, and only when, the Group changes its business model for managing the assets. In this case the reclassification is applied prospectively. Changes in the business model of the Group are expected to be rare. They arise from decisions of the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) or the Executive Committee (ExCo) as a result of external or internal changes which must be significant to the entity's operations and demonstrable to external parties.
It is noted that during the fourth quarter the Bank amended the operating model for the management of long-term securities that had been included within hold to collect and sell business model, a fact which will lead, on 1.1.2022, to the reclassification


of those securities from the securities portfolio measured at fair value through other comprehensive income to the securities portfolio measured at amortized cost (note 20).
If the Group reclassifies a financial asset out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category, its fair value is measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from a difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognized in profit or loss. The same happens if the Group reclassifies a financial asset out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category, however in this case the difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and the measurement of expected credit losses are not adjusted as a result of the reclassification. However, the loss allowance would be derecognized (and thus would no longer be recognized as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount) but instead would be recognized as an accumulated impairment amount in other comprehensive income.
If the Group reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss measurement category and into the amortised cost measurement category, its fair value at the reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount. At this date, the effective interest rate of the asset is calculated while the date of the reclassification is treated as the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes.
If the Group reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. As in the above case, at this date, the effective interest rate of the asset is calculated while the date of the reclassification is treated as the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes.
Ιf a financial asset is reclassified out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the amortised cost measurement category, the asset is reclassified at its fair value at the measurement date. However, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reversed and adjusted against the fair value of the financial asset at the reclassification date. As a result, the financial asset is measured at the reclassification date as if it had always been measured at amortised cost. This reversal affects other comprehensive income but does not affect profit or loss and therefore is not a reclassification adjustment under IAS 1. The effective interest rate and the calculation of expected credit losses are not affected. However, the loss allowance is recognized as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the reclassification date.
If the Group reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment (in accordance with IAS 1) at the reclassification date.
The Group derecognizes financial assets when:
In the case of transactions where despite the transfer of the contractual right to receive the cash flows from financial assets both the risk and rewards remain with the Group, no derecognition of these financial assets occurs. The amount received by the transfer is recognized as a financial liability. The accounting practices followed by the Group in such transactions are discussed in notes 1.2.21 and 1.2.22.
In the case of transactions, whereby the Group neither retains nor transfers risks and rewards of the financial assets, but retains control over them, the financial assets are recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. If the Group does not retain control of the assets then they are derecognised, and in their position the Group recognizes, distinctively, the assets and liabilities which are created or retained during the transfer. No such transactions occurred upon balance sheet date. In case of a change in the contractual terms of a financial asset, the change is considered significant and therefore it
results in the derecognition of the original financial asset and the recognition of a new one when one of the following criteria is met:
In case of derecognition due to significant modification, the difference between the carrying amount of the original asset and the fair value of the new asset is directly recognized in the Income Statement, as specifically mentioned in notes 1.2.27 and 1.2.28. Additionally, in case the original asset was measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss.
In contrast, if the change in contractual cash flows is not significant, the gross carrying amount of the asset is recalculated by discounting new contractual cash flows with the original effective interest rate and the difference compared to the current gross carrying amount is directly recognized in profit or loss (modification gain or loss) in the line item "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". Fees related to the modification adjust the carrying amount of the asset and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial asset through the effective interest method.
The Group classifies financial liabilities in the following categories for measurement purposes:

It is noted that in the above case, the amount of the change in fair value attributable to the Group's credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless this treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are never tranferred to profit or loss.
As at the reporting date, the Group had not designated, at initial recognition, any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.
The liabilities classified in this category are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Liabilities to credit institutions and customers, debt securities issued by the Group and other loan liabilities are classified in this category.
In cases when financial liabilities included in this category are designated as the hedged item in a hedge relationship, the accounting principles applied are those set out in note 1.2.6.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make a payments when due in accordance with the agreed terms.
The financial guarantee contracts and the commitments to provide loans at a below market interest rate are initially recognized at fair value, and measured subsequently at the higher of:
In the first case the liability should be equal to the amount received during the transfer while in the second case it should measured in such a way that the net carrying amount of the transferred asset and the associated liability is:
Such contingent consideration is subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities (or part thereof) are derecognized when the contractual obligation is been discharged, cancelled or expires.
When a financial liability is exchanged for another liability with substantially different terms, the exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new one. The same applies in cases of a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor). The terms are considered substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms (including any fees paid net of any fees received), discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In cases of derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the amount are reported net on the balance sheet, only in cases when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there is the intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivatives are financial instruments that upon inception have a minimal or zero fair value that subsequently changes in accordance with a particular underlying instrument or indices defined in the contract (foreign exchange, interest rate, index or other variable).
All derivatives are recognized as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Derivatives are entered into for either hedging or trading purposes and they are measured at fair value irrespective of the purpose for which they have been transacted.
The change in the fair value of the interest and currency derivatives, excluding options, is separated into interest, foreign exchange differences and other gains or losses from financial transactions.
In case a derivative is embedded in a financial asset, the embedded derivative is not separated and the hybrid contract is accounted for based on the classification requirements mentioned in note 1.2.5.
In case a derivative is embedded in a host contract, other than a financial asset, the embedded derivative is separated and measured at fair value through profit or loss when the following conditions are met:
The Group uses derivatives as a means of exercising Asset-Liability management within the guidelines established by the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO).
In addition the Group uses derivatives for trading purposes to exploit short-term market fluctuations, within the Group risk level set by the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO).
Valuation differences arising from derivatives are recognized in Gains less losses on financial transactions except when derivatives participate in hedging relationships in which case the principles for hedge accounting mentioned below apply.
When the Group uses derivatives for hedging purposes hedge relationships are formally designated and documented at inception and effectiveness is monitored on an ongoing basis at each balance sheet date.
We emphasize the following:
Alpha Bank, in order to increase the return on deposits to selected customers, uses synthetic swaps.
This involves the conversion of a Euro deposit to JPY or other currency with a simultaneous forward purchase of the related currency to cover the foreign exchange exposure.
The result arising from the forward transaction is recognized as interest expense, which is included in deposits' interest expense, foreign exchange differences and other gains less losses on financial transactions.
These types of swaps are entered into primarily to economically hedge the exposures arising from customer loans and deposits. For those cases for which no hedge accounting is applied, swaps are accounted for as trading instruments. The result arising from these derivatives is recognized as interest and foreign exchange differences, in order to match with the
interest element and foreign exchange differences resulting from the deposits and loans, and as other gains less losses on financial transactions.
Hedge accounting establishes the valuation rules to offset the gain or loss of the fair value of a hedging instrument and a hedged item which would not have been possible if the normal measurement principles were applied. It is noted that the Group has opted to continue to apply the provisions for hedge accounting of IAS 39.
Documentation of the hedging relationship upon inception and of the effectiveness of the hedge on an on-going basis are the basic requirements for the adoption of hedge accounting.
The hedge relationship is documented upon inception and the hedge effectiveness test is carried out upon inception and is repeated at each reporting date.
A hedge is regarded as highly effective only if both of the following conditions are met:
A fair value hedge of a financial instrument offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item in respect of the risks being hedged.
Changes in the fair value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged item, in respect of the specific risk being hedged, are recognized in the income statement.
When the hedging relationship no longer exists, the hedged items continue to be measured based on the classification and valuation principles set out in note 1.2.5. Specifically any adjustment, due to the fair value change of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used, up to the point that the hedging relationship ceases to be effective, is amortised to interest income or expense based on a recalculated effective interest rate, over its remaining life.
The Group uses interest rate swaps (IRS's) to hedge risks relating to borrowings, loans and bonds.
A cash flow hedge changes the cash flows of a financial instrument from a variable rate to a fixed rate.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in cash flow hedge reserve, whereas the ineffective portion is recognized in Gains less losses on financial transactions. The accounting treatment of the hedged item does not change.
When the hedging relationship is discontinued, the amount recognized in equity remains there separately until the cash flows or the future transaction occur. When the cash flows or the future transaction occur the following apply:
When a forecasted transaction or the expected cash flows are no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. In particular, the amount that has been recognized in equity, as a result of revoked cash flow hedging relationships for term deposits, is linearly amortised as interest expense in the periods during which the hedged cash flows from the aforementioned term deposits affect profit or loss.
The Group uses foreign exchange derivatives or borrowings to hedge foreign exchange risks arising from investment in foreign operations.

Hedge accounting of net investment in a foreign operation is similar to cash flow hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is reversed and recognized in profit or loss, at the time that the disposal of the foreign operation takes place.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The Group measures the fair value of assets and liabilities traded in active markets based on available quoted market prices. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. Especially, for the measurement of securities, the Group uses a particular range of prices, within the bid-ask spread, in order to characterize the prices as prices of an active market (the difference between bid and ask prices quoted should not exceed 1.5/100 nominal value). Furthermore, if quoted market prices are not available on the measurement date, but they are available during the three last working days of the reporting period and there are quoted prices for 15 working days during the last month of the reporting period and the criteria of the bid-ask spread is met, then the market is considered to be active.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by the use of valuation techniques, appropriate in the circumstances, and for which sufficient data to measure fair value are available, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. If observable inputs are not available, other model inputs are used which are based on estimations and assumptions such as the determination of expected future cashflows, discount rates, probability of counterparty default and prepayments. In all cases, the Group uses the assumptions that 'market participants' would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized according to the inputs used to measure their fair value as follows:
• Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs used by the Group, to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available
In particular, the Group applies the following:
For financial instruments the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is the transaction price, unless the fair value can be derived by other observable market transactions relating to the same instrument, or by a valuation technique using mainly observable inputs. In these cases, if the fair value differs from the transaction price, the difference is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. In all other cases, fair value is adjusted to defer the difference with the transaction price. After initial recognition, the deferred difference is recognized as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor that market participants would take into account when pricing the instrument.
When measuring fair value, the Group takes into consideration the effect of credit risk. Specifically, for derivative contracts, the Group estimates the credit risk of both counterparties (bilateral credit valuation adjustments).
The Group measures fair value for all assets and liabilities separately. Regarding derivative exposures, however, that the Group manages as a group on a counterparty basis and for which it provides information to the key management personnel, the fair value measurement for credit risk is performed based on the net risk exposure per counterparty. Credit valuation adjustments arising from the aforementioned process are allocated to either assets or liabilities, depending on whether the net exposure to the counterparty is long or short respectively.
Furthermore, the fair value of deposit accounts with a demand feature (such as saving deposits) is no less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid.
The principal inputs to the valuation techniques used by the Group are:

The most important category of non financial assets for which fair value is estimated is real estate property.
The process, mainly, followed for the determination of the fair value is summarized below:
To derive the fair value of the real estate property, the valuer chooses among the three following valuation techniques:
Examples of inputs used to determine the fair value of properties and which are analysed to the individual valuations, are the following:
It is noted that the fair value measurement of a property takes into account a market's participant ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in it's highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in it's highest and best use.
This caption includes: land, buildings used by branches or for administrative purposes, additions and improvements of leased

property and equipment. It also includes right of use assets in case those assets are used by the Group (the accounting policies applicable to those assets are presented in note 1.2.11).
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost which includes any expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequently, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is recognized on the carrying amount of the item when it increases future economic benefit.
Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is recognized in profit or loss as an expense as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and it is calculated on the asset's cost minus residual value.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Land is not depreciated but is tested for impairment.
The residual value of property and equipment and their useful lives are periodically reviewed and adjusted if necessary at each reporting date.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis to determine whether there is an indication of impairment and if they are impaired the carrying amount is adjusted to its recoverable amount with the difference recorded in profit or loss.
In case of sale of property, plant and equipment as well as when no economic benefits are expected for the Group, the fixed asset is derecognised. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group includes in this category buildings or portions of buildings together with their respective portion of land that are held for the purpose of long-term lease or for capital appreciation. The Group has also included in this category right of use assets when the Group is an intermediate lessor in an operating lease (the accounting policies applicable to those assets are presented in note 1.2.11).
Investment property is initially recognised at cost which includes any expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequently investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is recognized on the carrying amount of the item when it increases future economic benefit and can be measured reliably. All costs for repairs and maintenance are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The estimated useful lives over which depreciation is calculated using the straight line method are the same as those applied to property, plant and equipment.
Transfers to and from the category of investment property are made when the property meets (or ceases to meet) the definition of investment property and there is evidence of change in its use. In particular, the property is reclassified in "Property, plant and equipment" if the Group decides to use it while it is reclassified in the category of property held for sale if a decision is taken to sell it and if the criteria referred to in paragraph 1.2.17 are met. Conversely, for property not classified within "Investment Property", its lease constitutes a proof of change of use and leads to the reclassification to investment property.
In case of sale of investment property as well as when no economic benefits are expected for the Group, the fixed asset is derecognised. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.


Goodwill represents the difference between the cost of an acquisition as well as the value of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the entity acquired, as at the acquisition date.
Positive goodwill arising from acquisitions after 1/1/2004 is recorded to "Goodwill and other intangible assets", if it relates to the acquisition of a subsidiary, and it is tested for impairment at each balance sheet date. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates or joint ventures is included in "Investment in associates and joint ventures".
Negative goodwill is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group has included in this caption:
a) Intangible assets which are recognized from business combinations or which are individually acquired. These intangible assets include the value attributed to the acquired customer relationships and to deposit bases. Intangible assets arising from business combinations are initially measured at fair value while those individually acquired are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, they are depreciated, using the straight line method, during their useful life, which has been determined from 6 to 9 years, and are assessed for impairment when there are triggers for impairment.
It is noted that during the year the Group fully impaired intangible assets relating to customer relationships acquired during the acquisition of Citi retail business and subsequent absorption of Citi Wealth Management and credit cards clientele of Citi/Diners (note 10).
b) Software, which is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Expenditure incurred to maintain software programs is recognized in the income statement as incurred. Software that is considered to be an integral part of hardware (hardware cannot operate without the use of the specific software) is classified in property, plant and equipment.
More specifically, separately acquired software is initially measured at cost which comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the software for its intended use, including employee benefits or professional fees. Software acquired as part of a business combination is initially measured at fair value. Both software separately acquired and acquired as part of a business combination is depreciated during its useful life which has been set from 1 to 15 years.
Regarding internally generated software, the Group recognizes an intangible asset when it can demonstrate all of the following at the development phase:
Expenditure incurred during the research phase is directly recognized in profit or loss.
Consequently, the cost of an internally generated intangible asset is the sum of expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the above criteria, including employee benefits arising from the generation of the software. Internally generated software is depreciated, using the straight line method, during its useful life which has been set from 2 to 15 years.
All intangible assets are assessed for impairment when there are triggers for impairment (note 1.2.15).
No residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
In case of sale of an intangible asset the intangible asset is derecognised, while when no economic benefits are expected
for the Group, its value is fully impaired. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group enters into leases either as a lessee or as a lessor. At inception, the Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. If the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time for consideration, then the contract is accounted as a lease.
The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. After lease commencement, upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the lessee, the Group, as a lessee, reassesses the lease term. The Group, either as a lessee or lessor, revises the lease term if there is a change in the noncancellable period of a lease.
When the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee they are classified as finance leases. All other lease agreements are classified as operating leases.
The accounting treatment followed depends on the classification of the lease, which is as follows:
For finance leases where the Group is the lessor the aggregate amount of lease payments is recognized as loans and advances.
The difference between the present value (net investment) of lease payments and the aggregate amount of lease payments is recognized as unearned finance income and is deducted from loans and advances.
The lease rentals received decrease the aggregate amount of lease payments and finance income is recognized on an accrual basis.
The finance lease receivables are subject to the same impairment testing as applied to customer loans and advances as described in note 1.2.13.
When the Group is a lessor of assets under operating leases, the leased asset is recognized and depreciation is charged over its estimated useful life. Income arising from the leased asset is recognized as other income on an accrual basis.
The Group, as a lessee, for all leases recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the commencement of the lease. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the initial lease liability amount, any initial direct costs and an estimate of the obligation for costs to refurbish the asset, less any lease incentives received.
Right-of use assets are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Right-of-use assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment and if they are impaired the carrying amount is adjusted to its recoverable amount with the difference recorded in profit or loss (note 1.2.15).
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (less than 5.000 EUR when new) the Group does not recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability but instead recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date, net of cash lease incentives. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index (such as an inflation index) or a rate and are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rate is determined by using as reference rate Alpha Bank's secured funding rate, adjusted for different currencies and taking into consideration government yield curves, where applicable.
After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest, reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
Right of use assets are included within Property, plant and equipment and the lease liability is included in Other liabilities. In cases where the Group is an intermediate lessor in an operating lease, right of use assets recognized for the head lease are included within Investment property while in case the Group is an intermediate lessor in a finance lease right of use asset, or the part of it which is subleased, is derecognized and a finance lease receivable is recognized.
An insurance contract is a contract with which significant insurance risk is transferred from the policyholder to the insurance company and the insurance company agrees to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event affects him adversely. Insurance risk is significant if, and only if an event could force the company to pay significant additional benefits. For the Group, insurance risk is significant when the amount paid in the event of insurance risk exceeds 5% of the total benefit arising from the contract.
In accordance with IFRS 4 contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are characterized as investment and/or service contracts, and their accounting treatment is covered by IAS 32 and IFRS 9 for financial instruments and IFRS 15 for revenue.
All types of contracts offered by the Group are classified as insurance life contracts, as they represent individual, traditional insurance contracts that provide earnings participation based on surplus revenue from investment (in relation to the technical interest rate) on the mathematical reserves.
The insurance reserves are the current estimates of future cash flows arising from insurance life contracts. The reserves consist of:
The insurance reserves for the term life contracts (e.g. term, comprehension, investment) are calculated on actuarial principles using the present value of future liabilities less the present value of premiums to be received.
The calculations are based on technical assumptions (mortality tables, interest rates) in accordance with the respective supervisory authorities on the date the contract was signed.
If the carrying amount of the insurance reserves is inadequate, the entire deficiency is provided for.
They concern liabilities on claims occurred and reported but not yet paid at the balance sheet date. These claims are determined on a case-by-case basis based on existing information (loss adjustors' reports, court decisions etc) at the balance sheet date. They include also provisions for claims incurred but not reported at the balance sheet date (IBNR). The calculation of these provisions is based on statistical experience and the estimated average cost of claim.
Revenue from life insurance contracts is recognized when it becomes payable.


The Group currently does not use reinsurance contracts.
In accordance with IFRS 4 an insurer shall assess at each reporting date whether its recognized insurance reserves less deferred acquisition costs are adequate to cover the risk arising from the insurance contracts.
The methodology applied for life insurance products was based on current estimates of all future cash flows from insurance contracts and of related handling costs. These estimates were based on assumptions representing current market conditions and regarding parameters such as mortality, cancellations, future changes and allocation of administrative expenses as well as the discount rate. The guaranteed return included in certain insurance contracts has also been taken into account in estimating cash flows.
If that assessment shows that the carrying amount of its insurance reserves is inadequate, the entire deficiency is recognized against profit or loss.
The Group, at each reporting date, recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on loans and advances to customers not measured at fair value through profit or loss as well as for off-balance sheet exposures (letters of guarantee, letters of credit, undrawn loan commitments).
The loss allowance for loans and off-balance sheet exposures is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the financial asset falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
The Group, with the application of new EBA Guidelines (GL/2016/07), amended from 1.1.2021 default definition and adopted a new default definition as stated in note 43.1.
For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the exposures are classified into stages as follows:
As an exception to the above, for purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) exposures, lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized. Purchased or originated credit impaired exposures include:
In determining significant increase in credit risk of an exposure since initial recognition and the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses instead of 12 months expected credit losses, the Group assesses, at each reporting date, the risk of default compared to the risk of default at initial recognition for all its performing exposures including those with no delinquencies.
The assessment of the significant increase in credit risk is based on the following:
The measurement of expected credit losses is made as follows:
For present value calculation, original effective interest rate is used as a discount rate. Especially for POCI assets creditadjusted effective interest rate is used.
The Group calculates impairment losses either on a collective (collective assessment) or on an individual basis (individual assessment), taking into account the significance of an exposure or the borrower's limit. In addition, exposures that do not have common credit risk characteristics or for which there are no sufficient historical behavioral data are assessed on an individual basis.The Group calculates expected credit losses based on the weighted probability of three scenarios. More specifically, the Economic Research Division produces forecasts for the possible evolution of macroeconomic variables that affect the level of expected credit losses of loan portfolios under a baseline and under alternative macroeconomic scenarios and also generates the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios.
The mechanism for calculating expected credit loss is based on the following credit risk parameters:
time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those expected to be received, including the liquidation of collaterals and cure rate.
Receivables from customers are derived from the Group's commercial, other than loan, activity. The loss allowance for receivables from customers is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (there is no stage allocation) based on the simplified approach provided by IFRS 9.
Loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the Balance Sheet as follows:
The amount of expected credit losses for the period is presented in the caption "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". In the same caption the following are also recognized: recoveries from written-off loans measured at amortised cost, modification gains or losses of loans measured at amortised cost, the favourable changes in expected credit losses of POCI assets in case expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses included in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition, loans servicing fees arising from a contract signed in the context of the transfer of the entity that services overdue loans as well as protection fee and reimbursement from a special purpose entity paid as part of the synthetic securitization. For servicing fees, this presentation reflects more accurately the nature of these fees taking into account the new model for the servicing of overdue loans as well as the fact that impairment losses on these loans and the impact from the modification of their contractual terms is also presented in the same line item. Corresponding is the presentation of protection fee and reimbursement paid as part of synthetic securitization since those amounts relate to credit risk coverage.
The Group proceeds with the write-off of loans and advances to customers when it has no reasonable expectations for their recovery. In this case, the loss allowance is used against the carrying amount of the financial asset. Write-off is an event of derecognition.
The Group, at each reporting date, recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on due from banks and bonds not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the financial asset falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
Due from banks and bonds are considered impaired when the external rating of the issuer/counterparty is equivalent to default (D). In case there is no external rating, then the instrument is characterized as impaired based on internal rating. If there is also
an exposure to the corporate issuer/counterparty to the loan portfolio which has been classified as impaired, the instrument is also characterized as impaired.
For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the exposures are classified into stages as follows:
As an exception to the above, for purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) instruments, lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized. An instrument is characterized as purchased or originated credit impaired when:
When a debt security has been purchased at a large discount and does not fall into any of the categories mentioned above, the Group examines the transaction in detail (transaction price, recovery rate, issuer's financial condition at the time of purchase, etc.) in order to determine whether it should be recognised as purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI). Classification in this category requires documentation and approval by the relevant committees of the Group.
The classification into stages for the purpose of expected credit loss measurement is based on the credit rating of rating agencies or, for corporate securities issued by Greek issuers for which there is also an exposure in loan portfolio, on the issuer's internal rating.
The Group defines as low credit risk all investment grade securities, which are classified in Stage 1.
The determination of significant increase in credit risk for non-investment grade securities is based on the following two conditions:
Additionally, the Group monitors the change in the credit spread since initial recognition. A change in credit spread at the reporting date that exceeds a specific threshold compared to the credit margin prevailing at the date of initial recognition is a trigger for reviewing the securities classification stage.
The expected credit loss is the present value of the difference between:
(a) the contractual cash flows and
(b) the cash flows that the Group expects to receive
For present value calculation, original effective interest rate is used as a discount rate. Especially for POCI assets creditadjusted effective interest rate is used.
For the calculation of the expected credit loss, the following parameters are used:
• Probability of default (PD): the probability of default over the next 12 months is used to calculate the expected credit loss
for 12 months, and the probability of default over the life of the instrument is used to calculate the lifetime expected credit losses.
Loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the Balance Sheet as follows:
The amount of expected credit losses for the period is presented in the caption "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". The caption includes also the favourable changes in expected credit losses of POCI assets in case expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses included in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition.
The Group assess as at each balance sheet date its investments in associates and joint ventures as well as non-financial assets for impairment, particularly, right of use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and at least annually property, plant and equipment and investment property.
In assessing whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired both external and internal sources of information are considered, of which the following are indicatively mentioned:
Specifically for right of use assets, triggers for impairment include:
An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Fair value less costs to sell is the amount received from the sale of an asset (less the cost of disposal) in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash –generating unit through their use and not from their disposal.
For the valuation of property, plant and equipment, the calculation of the recoverable amount includes all improvements which render the asset perfectly suitable for its use by the Group. In this way, the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in it's highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use is taken into account.
Income tax consists of current and deferred tax.
Current tax for a period includes the expected amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current reporting period, based on the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is the tax that will be paid or for which relief will be obtained in future periods and it is calculated based on the temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their respective carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses, based on the tax rates (and laws) enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
In addition, deferred tax assets are not recognized from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time it takes place affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Furthermore, regarding investments in associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Income tax, both current and deferred, is recognized in profit or loss except when it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In such cases, the respective income tax is also recognized in equity.
Non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale.
The above classification is used if the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable. The sale is considered highly probable when it has been decided by the competent bodies of the Management, an active programme to locate a buyer has been initiated, the asset is actively marketed for sale at a price which is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Non-current assets that are acquired exclusively with a view to their subsequent disposal are classified as held for sale at the acquisition date when the one-year requirement is met and it is highly probable that the remaining criteria will be met within a short period following the acquisition (usually within three months).
Before their classification as held for sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the respective accounting standard.
Assets held for sale are initially recognised and subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Any loss arising from the above measurement is recorded in profit or loss and can be reversed in the future. In this case, the gain from any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell cannot exceed the cumulative impairment losses that have been recognized. When the loss relates to a disposal group it is allocated to assets within the disposal group with the exception of specific assets that are not within the scope of IFRS 5. The impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro-rata basis.
Assets in this category are not depreciated.
Gains or losses from the sale of these assets are recognized in the income statement.
Non-current assets held for sale, that the Group subsequently decides either to use or to lease, are reclassified to the categories of property, plant and equipment or investment property respectively. During their reclassification, they are measured at the lower of their recoverable amount and their carrying amount before they were classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or revaluation that would have been recognized had the assets not been classified as held for sale. Non - current assets that the Group intends to sell but which are not available for immediate sale or are not expected to be sold within a year are included in Other Assets and are measured at the lower of cost (or carrying amount) and net realizable
value in accordance with IAS 2. Net realizable value is considered equal to fair value less cost to sell.
The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
A defined contribution plan is where the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in current or prior years. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement which is dependent, among others, on years of service and salary on date of retirement and it is guaranteed by the entity of the Group.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated, separately for each plan, based on an actuarial valuation performed by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The net liability recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (which is the expected future payments required to settle the obligation resulting from employee service in the current and prior periods) less the fair value of plan assets. The amount determined by the above comparison may be negative, an asset. The amount of the asset recognised in the financial statements cannot exceed the total of the present value of any economic benefits available to the Group in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated based on the return of high quality corporate bonds with a corresponding maturity to that of the obligation, or based on the return of government bonds in cases when there in no deep market in corporate bonds.
Interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset), which is recognised in profit or loss, is determined by multiplying the net defined benefit liability (asset) by the discount rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligation, as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset).
Service cost, which is also recognised in profit or loss, consists of:
Before determining past service cost or a gain or loss on settlement, the Group remeasures the net defined benefit liability (asset) using the current fair value of plan assets and current actuarial assumptions, reflecting the benefits offered under the plan before its amendment, curtailment or settlement.
Past service cost, in particular, is directly recognized to profit or loss at the earliest of the following dates
Likewise, the Group recognizes a gain or loss on the settlement when the settlement occurs.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) which comprise:
are recognized directly in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified in profit or loss in a subsequent period.
Finally, when the Group decides to terminate the employment before retirement or the employee accepts the Group's offer of benefits in exchange for termination of employment, the liability and the relative expense for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of the following dates:
a. when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and
b. when the Group recognizes restructuring costs which involve the payment of termination benefits.
The granting of share options to the employees, their exact number, the price and the exercise date are decided by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Shareholders' Meeting approvals and after taking into account the current legal framework.
The fair value calculated at grant date is recognized during the servicing period and recorded in staff costs with an increase of a reserve in equity respectively. When there are no vesting conditions, it is considered that services have been received. On the contrary, when there are service vesting conditions the expense is recognized as the relative services are received. In case there are conditions that are not vesting conditions, they are taken into account in share options valuation. The amount paid by the beneficiaries of share options on the exercise date increases the share capital of the Group and the reserve in equity from the previously recognized fair value of the exercised options is transferred to share premium. The reserve in equity from the previously recognized fair value of the unexercised options is transferred to retained earnings.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions are, also, recognized in cases of restructuring plans with which management attempts either to change the subject of a corporate activity or the manner in which it is conducted (e.g. close down business locations). The recognition of provision is accompanied with the relevant, authorized by the Management, program and with the suitable actions of disclosure. A restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those that are both necessarily entailed by the restructurings and not associated with the ongoing activity of the Group.
The amount recognized as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is equal to the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Amounts paid for the settlement of an obligation are set against the original provisions for these obligations. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Additionally, provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Future events that may affect the amount required to settle the obligation, for which a provision has been recognized, are taken into account when sufficient objective evidence exists that they will occur.
Reimbursements from third parties relating to a portion of or all of the estimated cash outflow are recognized as assets, only when it is virtually certain that they will be received. The amount recognized for the reimbursement does exceed the amount of the provision. The expense recognized in profit or loss relating to the provision is presented net of the amount of the reimbursement.

The Group does not recognize in the statement of financial position contingent liabilities which relate to:
The Group provides disclosures for contingent liabilities taking into consideration their materiality.
The Group enters into purchases of securities under agreements to resell at a certain date in the future at a fixed price (reverse repos). Securities purchased subject to commitments to resell them at future dates are not recognized in the balance sheet.
The amounts paid, including interest accruals, are recognized in loans and advances to either banks or customers. The difference between the purchase price and the resale price is recognized as interest income using effective interest method. Similarly, securities that are sold under agreements to repurchase (repos) are not derecognized but they continue to be measured in accordance with the accounting policy of the category that they have been classified.
The proceeds from the sale of the securities are reported as liabilities to either banks or customers. The difference between the sales price and the repurchase price is recognized as interest expense using effective interest method.
Securities borrowed by the Group under securities lending agreements are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet except when they have been sold to third parties whereby the liability to deliver the security is recognized and measured at fair value.
The Group securitises financial assets by transferring these assets to special purpose entities, which in turn issue bonds.
In each securitization of financial assets the assessment of control of the special purpose entity is considered, based on the circumstances mentioned in note 1.2.1, so as to examine whether it should be consolidated. In addition, the contractual terms and the economic substance of transactions are considered, in order to decide whether the Group should proceed with the derecognition of the securitised financial assets, as referred in note 1.2.5.
Financial instruments issued by Group companies to obtain funding are classified as equity when, based on the substance of the transaction, the Group does not undertake a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial instruments under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the issuer.
In cases when Group companies are required to issue equity instruments in exchange for the funding obtained, the number of equity instruments must be fixed and determined on the initial contract, in order for the obligation to be classified as equity. In the context of the above assessment, hybrid securities issued by the Group entity Alpha Group Jersey Ltd were classified within the equity of the Group.
Distributions to the holders of equity instruments are directly recognized by debiting the equity of the Group.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from retained earnings.


Share premium includes the difference between the nominal value of the shares and the consideration received in the case of a share capital increase.
It also includes the difference between the nominal value of the shares issued and their market value, in cases of exchanges of shares as consideration for the acquisition of a business by the Group.
The cost of acquiring treasury shares is recognized as a reduction of equity. Subsequent gains or losses from the sale of treasury shares, after deducting all direct costs and taxes, are recognized directly in retained earnings.
Dividends are deducted from retained earnings and recorded as a liability in the period that the dividend is approved by the Shareholders in General Meeting.
Distributions of non-cash assets take place at the fair value of the asset distributed. Any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset distributed is directly recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income and expense is recognized in the income statement for all interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. Interest income and expense is recognised on an accrual basis and measured using the effective interest method, with the exception of derivatives as described in detail in note 1.2.6. Especially for POCI assets, interest income is calculated using credit-adjusted effective interest rate.
Effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
For financial assets, in particular, the following apply:
In case of negative interest rates, interest is presented within interest income for interest bearing financial liabilities and within interest expense for interest bearing financial assets.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to assets that require a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are complete.
Fees and commission income from contracts with customers are recognized based on the consideration specified in the contract when the Group satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the service to the customer. With the exception of specific portfolio management fees which are calculated on the basis of the size and performance of the portfolio, the
services provided have a fixed price. Variable portfolio management fees are recognized when all related uncertainties are resolved.
For commissions on services provided over time, revenue is recognized as the service is being provided to the customer, such as commissions to provide account management services, fees for administration of syndicated loans, fees for portfolio management and investment services advice as well as management fees and fees for collection of receivables.
For transaction-based fees, the execution and completion of the transaction executed signals the point in time, in which the service is transferred to the customer and the revenue is recognized, such as currency transactions, purchases / sales of securities as well as issue and disposal of syndicated loans and bonds.
Transaction revenues relating to the recognition of a financial instrument not measured at fair value through profit or loss are capitalized and amortised in the income statement using the effective interest method over the life of the financial instrument and included in interest income.
Dividend income from investments in shares is recognised in the income statement when the dividend distribution is approved by the appropriate body of the company that the Group has invested in.
Gains less losses on financial transactions include:
Gains less losses on derecognition of financial assets measured at amortised cost include:
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or has been classified as held for sale and represents:


The profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations and any losses recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group are presented in a separate line in the face of the income statement after net profit from continuing operations.
The comparative financial statements are restated only for the income statement and the cash flow statement.
According to IAS 24, a related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements. For the Group, in particular, related parties are considered:
a. An entity that constitutes for the Group:
This category includes Hellenic Financial Stability Fund and its subsidiaries because, in the context of the L.3864/2010, the HFSF participates in the Board of Directors and in significant committees of the parent company and the Bank and as a result is considered to have significant influence over the Group.
c. A person and his close family members, if that person is a member of the key management personnel.
The Group considers as key management personnel all the members of the Board of Directors and of the Executive Committee of the parent company of the Group while as their close family members it considers their children and spouses or domestic partners and their dependants and the dependants of their spouses or domestic partners.
Related parties are also considered the entities controlled or jointly controlled by the above mentioned persons and more specifically the entities in which the above persons participate with more than 20%.
To the extent considered necessary the comparatives have been adjusted to facilitate changes in presentation of the current year amounts.
The Group, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments and assessments relating to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at the end of the period that relate to the future. Final amounts in the next year may be significantly different from those recognised in the financial statements. Those judgements relate to the following:
The Group, at initial recognition of a debt financial asset, assesses whether cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The assessment requires judgement mainly on:

satisfaction of those ESG criteria relates to the change in credit risk and/or change in profit margin.
The Group, in the context of the application of its accounting policies for the measurement of the expected credit losses makes judgments in order to identify:
Applying different judgments could significantly affect the number of financial instruments classified in stage 2 or significantly differentiate expected credit loss.
The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax is carried out based on the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, it may be affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. When assessing the tax treatment of all significant transactions, the Group takes into account and evaluates all available data (Circulars of the Ministry of Finance, case law, administrative practices, etc.) and / or opinions received from internal and external legal advisers. Future tax audits and changes in tax legislation may result in the adjustment of the amount of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and in tax payments other than those recognized in the financial statements of the Group.
The Group classifies non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, as held-for-sale when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable to be completed within one year. The assessment of whether the above criteria are met requires judgment mainly as to whether the sale is likely to be completed within one year from the reporting date. In the context of this assessment, the Group takes into account the receipt of the required approvals (both regulatory and those given by the General Meeting and the Committees of the Group), the receipt of offers (binding or note) and the singing of agreements as well as of any conditions included in them.
The Group in the context of its actions for liquidity and for strategic management of non - performing loans proceeds with the securitization of assets through the establishment of special purpose entities whose activities are guided by contractual agreements. The Group makes judgments in order to assess whether it controls those companies taking into account the possibility to make decisions on their relative activities as well as the degree of its exposure to the variability of their returns.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Group in the context of applying its accounting principles and which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are presented below:
For assets and liabilities traded in active markets, the determination of their fair value is based on quoted, market prices. In all
other cases the determination of fair value is based on valuation techniques that use observable market data to the greatest extent possible. In cases where there is no observable market data, the fair value is determined using data that are based on internal estimates and assumptions i.e. determination of expected cash flows, discount rates, prepayment probabilities or potential counterparty default.
The measurement of expected credit losses requires the use of complex models and significant estimates of future economic conditions and credit behavior, taking into account the events that have occurred until reporting date. The significant estimates relate to:
The Group, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment non – financial assets, and in particular, right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as its investments in associates and joint ventures and at least on an annual basis property, plant and equipment and investment property. Internal estimates are used to a significant degree to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, i.e. the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Defined benefit obligations are estimated based on actuarial valuations, which are mainly conducted on an annual basis, that incorporate assumptions regarding discount rates, future changes in salaries and pensions, as well as the return on any plan assets. Any change in these assumptions will affect the amount of obligations recognized.
The amounts recognized by the Group in its financial statements as provisions are derived from the best estimate of the outflow required to settle the present obligation. This estimate is determined by Management after taking into account experience from relevant transactions and in some cases expert reports. In case the amount recognized as a provision is affected by a variety of factors, its calculation is based on the weighting of all possible results. At each balance sheet date, provisions are revised to reflect current best estimates of the obligation.
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that it will have sufficient future taxable profit available, against which, deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized. The estimation of future taxable profits is based on forecasts for the development of the accounting results, as these are formulated in accordance with the business plan of the Group. In particular, the business plan includes actions aimed at enhancing profitability through:

The main categories of deferred tax assets which have been recognized by the Group relate to losses from the Greek government bonds exchange program (PSI) and the December 2012 Greek government bond buyback program and to deductible temporary differences arising from loans' impairment.
Deferred tax assets associated with tax losses incurred by the PSI and the participation of the Bank in the December 2012 Greek government bond buyback program were recognized as a "debit difference" according to Law 4046/14.2.2012, Law 4110/23.1.2013 and a respective legal opinion. According to Law 4110/23.1.2013 the "debit difference" is deductible for tax purposes, gradually in equal installments, within 30 years, a fact which, according to the Group's estimation, provides a sufficient time period for its gradual utilization against taxable profits.
Regarding the temporary differences arising from loans' impairment, there are no time constraints concerning their recovery, as is the case for the other deferred tax assets categories. The Group assessed their recoverability based on estimates for future taxable profits, as these are forecasted on the basis of the aforementioned business plan. In order to assess deferred tax asset recoverability, the Group's business plan was extended for a limited number of years during which estimates were made regarding the production of new loans and the evolution of the operating results.
In addition, tax losses resulting from the write-down of debts and the sale of loans, as specifically mentioned in note 13, are recognized as a debit difference. In this context, during the period a significant amount of this kind of debit difference was recognized due to the securitization of loans under Cosmos transaction. It is noted that the debit difference is recognized gradually and equally over a period of 20 years, a fact which in accordance with Group's estimations provides sufficient time for offsetting against taxable profits. In addition, in accordance with the amendment of article 27 of L. 4172/2013 that was enacted during the year, the amount of the annual deduction of the debit difference due to credit risk that is not offset against the taxable profits of the year is transferred in order to be deducted in subsequent tax years within the twenty-year period. If at the end of the twenty-year depreciation period there are balances that have not been offset, they constitute a loss that can be carried forward in order to be offset with future taxable profits within five years.
The Group, based on the above, estimates that the total deferred tax assets recognized and that relate to temporary differences and to tax losses carried forward is recoverable.
In addition, and regardless of the assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets that is carried out based on what is mentioned above, Law 4303/2014 provides that in case that the after tax accounting result for the period is a loss, deferred tax assets arising from the PSI debit difference and from the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk are eligible to be converted into a final and settled claim against the Greek State, as described in detail in note 13.
The main uncertainties concerning the estimations for the recoverability of the deferred tax assets relate to the achievement of the goals set in the Group's business plan, which is affected by the general macroeconomic environment in Greece and internationally. These goals mainly concern the reduction of non-performing exposures, the production of new loans as well as the evolution of operating results. At each balance sheet date, the Group reassesses its estimation regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets in conjunction with the development of the factors that affect it.
The estimates and judgments applied by the Group in making decisions and in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis in order to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any changes is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.
The demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector resulted in the incorporation of a new company (under the name Alpha Bank S.A.) which assumed all the activities of the Company relating to the banking sector. It is therefore considered as business combination between entities under common control, Alpha Bank S.A. is the subsidiary of the Company which in turn becomes into a Holding entity under the name Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.
The respective transaction, as business combination between entities under common control, is scoped out of the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". In addition, since Alpha Bank S.A. is a newly established entity, it cannot be considered as the acquirer in the transaction and therefore the demerger cannot be considered as a business combination but as a reorganization within the Group.
In accordance with the accounting policy of the Group, the transactions between group entities that involve the incorporation of new entities to which the assets and liabilities of a sector of another group entity are transferred at their book values in the books of the transferring entity. Furthermore, information from the date of the intragroup reorganization and onwards will be included in both separate and consolidated financial statements of Alpha Bank S.A.
In this context the accounting treatment of the Demerger involved the following:
The table below presents the assets, liabilities and equity reserves transferred to the Bank, at hive-down date, the required adjustments in the context of the application of the accounting treatment as well as the statement of financial position of the Bank and the Company at the same date.

During 2021, net interest income decreased compared to 2020, mainly due to the reduction in interest income from loans, due to the derecognition of the Galaxy perimeter loans, as well as the decrease in interest rates.
The aforementioned decrease was partially offset by the recognition of additional interest income € 88,368 for the program TLTRO III, relating to the period from 24,06,2020 to 31,12,2021 as detailed in note 16 and is included in the line "Negative interest from interest bearing liabilities" and the decrease in the interest expense Due to customers mainly because of a decrease in interest rates.

| Options Rights canceled during the year due to non-registered | (76,838) |
| Options Rights exercised during the year | (2,281,716) |
| Options Rights expired during the year | (282,229) |
| Balance 31.12.2021 | 6,802,236 |
The price of the Company's share at the time of exercising the Options rights amounted to € 0.77.
The Periods for the Exercise of the active rights on 31.12.2021 are depicted below.
| Exercise period | Total maximum number of exercised options |
|---|---|
| January 2022 | 3,703,742 |
| January 2023 | 1,232,064 |
| January 2024 | 1,160,132 |
| January 2025 | 706,298 |
| Total | 6,802,236 |
The weighted average lifespan of the above rights is 19.5 months.
For the Options rights awarded on 31.12.2021 with an exercise date of January 2022, the fair value was determined as the difference between the share price on 31.12.2021, which is the date of issue, and the exercise price. A similar methodology was applied for the rights awarded on 31.12.2020 with an exercise date of January 2021.
For the rest of Options rights the fair value was determined using the Black & Scholes valuation model. The key variables that used in the model, as presented in the table below, are the share price, the exercise price, the volatility of the share price as well as the remaining duration until the expiration. Historical volatility has been used as volatility i.e. the standard deviation of the logarithmic changes of the daily share price for a period equal to the remaining duration of each right.
| Options under the Performance Incentive Program for the years 2018 and 2019 |
Options, under the Performance Incentive Program for the year 2020 |

| Average weighted value | 0.7 | 0.79 |
| Expected volatility | 72.23% | 58.20% |
| Expected duration (in years) | 2 | 2 |
| Weighted average share price | 0.9702 | 1.077 |
| Exercise price | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| Expected dividends | ||
| No-risk interest rate | (0.52)% | (0.48)% |

The weighted average fair value of the rights granted during the year under the Performance Incentive Program for the year 2021 amounted to € 3,083 (31.12.2020: € 1,667).
As at 31.12.2020, the caption "Cost of staff transfered to Cepal subsidiary" relates to the compensation to the Bank's staff, in the context of the transfer of the Bank's Non-performing Management Activity (carve-out), to its subsidiary Cepal Hellas S.A. ("Cepal") as detailed described in note 40. The voluntary termination of the employment contract required the payment by the Bank of an amount equivalent to ten (10) gross monthly salaries, as these would be determined on 1.12.2020 based on the provisions of the Sectoral Collective Agreement OTOE - Banks 2019 -2021 (basic scale) with a minimum limit of € 25,000. The abovementioned amount, includes cost for the compensation of senior executives transferred to Cepal Hellas S.A. as described below in the relevant program.
All the employees of the Bank are insured for their main pension plans by the Social Insurance Fund (IKA-ETAM). The Social Insurance Fund (IKA-ETAM) as of 1.1.2017 consists part of the Single Social Security Body (E.F.K.A.), a Public law entity established under the provisions of Law 4387/2016. In addition for the Bank's employees, the following also apply:
The plan assets consist of investment for the fixed monthly contributions of the Bank and its employees. Initially the plan included Bank's personnel that were hired and insured for the first time on 1.1.1993 and onwards. After signing the Collective Labor Agreement for the 3-year period of 2016-2019, the personnel of the Bank may be included in the savings plan.
Except from those employees, that were hired by the Bank and were members of the main pension scheme for the period from 1.1.1993 until 31.12.2004 for which a minimum payment guarantee is required(Law 2084/1992), for the remaining employees, the plan is considered to be a defined contribution plan, given that the beneft is paid out from a savings fund that was accumulated up to the date they leave.
ii) Following the Board of Directors' and General Assebly's decision, the Bank provides to its senior management a group retirement and savings Insurance Plan with effect from 1.1.2018. The plan is a defined contribution plan and aims to provide a lump-sum benefit upon retirement. The savings fund sums up from the investment of defined monthly contributions paid by the senior management and the Bank.
The Bank's "Investment Committee for group insurance employee plans of Alpha Bank" is responsible for determining the appropriate structure of the portfolio of the aforementioned saving plans.
Αn analysis of liabilities arising from defined benefit plans is included in note 31.

According to the three-year Strategic Plan for the period 2020-2022, as announced on November 2019, a transformation plan in the entire network of branches and the central units of the Bank is to be implemented, with the objective of rationalizing the organizational structure of all units and the decrease of operational costs.
As a result of the above, the Bank recognized a provision of € 97,200 for employee separation schemes in the context of the above objectives, as stated in note 18.
Additionally, on 29.6.2018 the General Assembly of Shareholders approved the senior executives' compensation plan, a benefit which was further specified by a Regulation subsequently issued. It is noted that the payment of the benefit is voluntary, does not constitute a business practice and may be terminated in the future with the decision of the General Assembly of Shareholders. The charge for the year 2021 for this program amounted to € 501 (31.12.2020: € 1,165).
In October 2020, Alpha Bank Cyprus Ltd implemented a Voluntary Retirement Plan, which provided for one-time compensation based on age, years of service and annual gross income. At the same time, additional incentives were provided by increasing the amount of compensation for specific services. The total cost of the Voluntary Exit Program, which was recognized in the results of the fiscal year 2020, amounted to € 26,214.

"Losses from disposals/write-off/impairments on plant, property and equipment, intangible assets and rights of use assets" as at 31.12.2021 includes the following:
• The Bank at the acquisition of the banking activity of Citi and the acquisition of Diners' in 2014, recognized intangible assets relating to customer relations as a result of the acquisition of the Wealth Management sector of Citi and credit card base of Citi/Diners. The fair value of the intangible assets on initial recognition was € 83,073 while as at 31.3.2021 their net book value was € 16,217.
Recently, the external events (pandemic Covid-19), the internal initiatives taken, such as the restructuring of the Bank's service and sales channels, the acceleration of rebalancing of customer portfolios in the context of coping with the pandemic and the expected business changes of the transformation plan, resulted in a substantial diversification of the customer base management in comparison with previous years. In addition, following initial recognition of the intangible assets, the Bank has established its cooperation with the Citi customer base through new contractual relationships, diversification of products, services and pricing, resulting in a significant decrease in the distinction between the two.
The above were considered triggers and an impairment test was performed on 31.3.2021 from which it derived that it wzas no longer possible to distinguish the future economic benefits that are expected to flow from the above intangible assets, and they were therefore fully impaired.
The aforementioned impairment losses and losses from disposals of assets are included in the operating segment "Other/Elimination Center" in note 23 "Operating segments".
"Provisions" relate to provisions for legal cases against the Bank and its subsidiaries.
Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 50.

"Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses" for year 2021 amounted to € 1,433,013 (31.12.2020: € 1,318,984) and include the total of the captions presented in the table below, along with the impairment losses on other financial instruments, as presented in note 12.
The following table presents the impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers, financial guarantee contracts, other assets, recoveries, commissions for credit protection as well as servicing fees of non-performing loans as the Bank considers that their presentation along with impairment losses presents more accurately the nature of these expenses.

For the year 2021, Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk on loans and advances to customers and related expenses amounted to € 1,411,984 (31.12.2020: € 1,305,625).
Impairment losses on loans for the year include an amount of € 1,038 million which represents the impact of incorporating probabilities of sale in the estimation of expected credit losses, in order to take into account the impact of expected sales of loans of the following projects:
The above transactions are included in the NPE Business plan, as detailed in Note 52. The Group, for the determination of the sale probabilities, evaluated the uncertainties that relate to each project and mainly refer to the stage of preparation and the uncertainty relates to the fullfillment of the prerequisites that are linked with these sales (other capital actions, obtaining approvals etc.)
Orbit and Sky loan portfolios were classified as at 31.12.2021 as Assets held for sale. In this context, the expected credit loss were estimated by using a 100% probability of the sale scenario. As a result, the carrying amount of the loan portfolios reflect the amounts expected to be recovered through sale.
For the Solar and leasing portfolios a 20% probability of sale scenario has been calculated.
Additionally, for a portfolio of non performing corporate loans (project "Hermes" transaction) the Bank has not calculated a sale scenario propability as at 31.12.2021.
For the Solar, Leasing and Hermes transactions in case the Group applied a sale scenario with a probability of 100%, the additional impairment loss would amount to approximately € 250 million.
On 17.12.2021, the Bank completed the Aurora synthetic securitization transaction. With this transaction the Bank receives protection against the credit risk of a specific portfolio of performing corporate loans amounted to € 1.9 bil. through a credit

protection/financial guarantee agreement with a special purpose entity. The total amount of credit protection is € 152 million and represents the mezzanine tranche. In the context of the transaction, the guarantee is activated in the event of a default payment, default or loss due to modification of contractual terms in the context of restructuring and given that the respective loss (for all loans in aggregate) has exceeded a certain limit, which is stated in the contractual terms and which is bared by the Bank.
The Bank pays a variable commission every quarter to the special purpose entity for the guarantee. The above guarantee is not an integral part of the securitized loans and as a consequence is not taken into account during the calculation of expected credit losses. The claim for compensation is recognized in income statement when its collection is in substance certain. For disclosure purposes, the commission expense paid by the Bank as well as the income from the recognition of the receivable from the claim are recognized in the caption "Impairment losses and provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses", as in this way, their nature which is related to credit risk is better reflected. The expense for the year that relates to the commission for the guarantee amounts to € 588. whereas until the end of the year no claim for compensation has been made.
The Group, in the context of renegotiation with borrowers or of restructurings, proceeds with the modifications of the contractual cash flows of the loans in order to ensure their repayment.
The following table presents the carrying amount of those loans and advances to customers for which there was gain or loss from the modification of the contractual terms and loss allowance were measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss i.e. loans categorised Stages 2, or stage 3 or loans Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI).

It is noted that Covid-19 pandemic did not lead to a significant increase in credit risk of those debt securities held by the Group.

"Debit difference L.4465/2017" of the period, includes mainly the deferred tax amounting of € 477,172 twich resulted from the securitizations of loans (project Cosmos).
"Debit difference L.4465 / 2017" from 1.1.2020 to 31.12.2020 includes the deferred tax amounting to € 1,486,703 which resulted from the securitization of loans (project Galaxy). According to the terms of the transaction, the relevant expected credit losses were considered as definitive losses for tax purposes subject to 20 years' amortization resulting in an increase of the balance with an equal reduction of the deferred tax of the "Loans" category.
"Debit difference of Law 4046/2012" relates to the deferred tax asset on tax losses, due to the Bank's participation in the Greek government bonds exchange program (PSI) and the Greek government bond buyback program on December 2012, which have been recognized as a debit difference in accordance with Law 4046/14.2.2012 and Law 4110/23.1.2013, According to Law 4110/23.1.2013 the "debit difference" is deductible, gradually in equal installments, within 30 years.
Moreover, according to article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 "Ratification of the Legislative Act Emergency legislation to replenish the General Secretary of Revenue upon early termination of office (A' 136) and other provisions", which replaced article 27A of Law 4172/2013, deferred tax assets of legal entities supervised by the Bank of Greece, under article 26 paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of Law 4172/2013 that have been or will be recognized and are due to the debit difference arising from the PSI and the accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, with respect to existing amounts up to 31.12.2014, are converted into final and settled claims against the State, if, the accounting result for the period, after taxes, is a loss, according to the audited and approved financial statements by the Ordinary Shareholders' General Meeting.
The inclusion in the Law is implemented with the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders and relates to tax assets arising from 2016 and onwards, relating to fiscal year 2015 and onwards, whereas it is envisaged the end of inclusion in the Law with the same procedure and after obtaining relevant approval from the Regulatory Authority.
According to article 4 of Law 4340/1.11.2015 "Recapitalization of financial institutions and other provisions of the Ministry of Finance" the above were amended regarding the time of the application which is postponed for a year. In addition the amount of the relevant deferred tax asset which is included in the above provisions of article 5 of Law 4303/17.10.2014 and relates to
Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 50.
accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk, is limited to the amount related to the provisions for credit risk, which were accounted for on 30.6.2015.
In connection with the amount included in caption "Debit difference of Law 4465/4.4.2017", according to article 43 of Law 4465/4.4.2017 "Integration of Directive 2014/92/EU of the European Parliament and Council held on 23.7.2014 for the comparability of charges related to payment accounts, the change of payment account and the access to payment accounts with basic characteristics and other provisions", the articles 27 and 27A of the Income Tax Code were amended (Law 4172/2013), In particular, par, 3 of article 27, as amended, provides the right to amortise losses registered by the above legal entities, for a period of 20 years, if those losses resulted from debt write-offs from their balance sheet due to loan settlement or restructuring contractually, judicial or extrajudicial or due to the transfer of the loan to companies of loan acquisition or securitization or to credit and financial institutions or other companies and legal entities under the conditions that the management of those loans is carried out by a claims servicing company. The tax benefit of the 20-year depreciation is given only to the realized losses. In case of an accounting write-off of the loan considering that the events for the final debt writeoff or transfer of the loan have not yet completed, the tax result for the year of the accounting write-off is not affected. When these events occur, the amount that was written off will be converted into a debit difference and will be amortised over the estimated 20-year period.
The amended provisions of Article 27A explicitly provide that in addition to the deferred tax assets relating to the amount of accumulated provisions and other general losses due to credit risk and to the remaining (amortized) balance of the PSI, the deferred tax asset relating to accounting write-offs and final losses due to final write-off or transfer of loans, under certain conditions, can be converted to final and settled receivable against the State and therefore to be included in the regulatory capital, It is noted that the right to convert deferred tax asset into final and settled against the State, had already been provided in the legislative framework since 2014 in order to avoid losses in the regulatory capital of credit institutions.
Based on the above mentioned Law, the total amount of deferred tax asset from (a) the debit difference due to the permanent write off of debtors' debts and the sale of loans, (b) the temporary differences from any accounting write-off of loans and credits and (c) the temporary differences from accumulated provisions and other losses due to credit risk, is limited to the total tax amount related to accumulated provisions and other losses due to credit risk, recognised until 30.6.2015.
This amendment ensures that the loan write-offs and disposals, aiming to decrease the non-performing loans, will not result in the loss of regulatory capital.
In accordance with article 125 of L.4831 / 2021 "Legal Council of the State (NSK) and situation of its officials and employees and other provisions", article 27 of L.4172 / 2013 was amended. Pursuant to the new provisions, the debit difference from the exchange of Greek government bonds or corporate bonds guaranteed by the Greek State, in application of a participation program in the redistribution of Greek debt (of par. 2 of article 27 of law 4172/2013), deducts as a priority compared to the debit difference due to credit risk of law 4465/2017 (par. 3 of article 27 of law 4172/2013). The amount of the annual debit difference from credit risk deduction is limited to the amount of gains determined under tax law, before the deduction of these debt differences and after the deduction of the debit difference resulting from the PSI bond exchange. The remaining amount of the annual deduction that has not been offset is carried forward for deduction in subsequent tax years within the twenty-year period, in which the remaining profits will remain after the annual deduction of the debit differences corresponding to those years. The order of deduction of the transferred amounts is preceded by the older debit difference balances compared to the newer ones. If at the end of the twenty-year amortization period there are balances that have not been offset, these are losses subject to the five-year transfer rule.
It is noted that the above provision does not affect the rate of the depreciation for regulatory purposes of the deferred tax asset (DTA), neither retrospectively nor in the future, ie DTA will continue to be depreciated on a straight line basis (1/20 per year), for both previous, as well as for future sales of non-performing loans.
The above is valid from 1.1.2021 and concerns debit differences of par. 3 that have arisen from 1.1.2016. Within the context of the above article, the Bank recognized a deferred tax asset of € 119,852, on the unamortised balance of debit difference of FY 2021.
As of 31.12.2021, the amount of deferred tax asset which is in the scope of L.4465 / 2017 and includes the amount of the debit difference of L.4046 / 2012 (PSI), amounts to € 2,891 million (31.12.2020: € 3,030 million).
In accordance with article 82 of Law 4472/19.5.2017 "Pension provisions of the State and amendment of provisions of Law 4387/2016, measures for the implementation of fiscal objectives and reforms, measures of social support and employment regulations. Medium-Term Framework of the Fiscal Strategy 2018-2021 and others provisions "provides the obligation of credit institutions and other companies that fall under the provisions of article 27A of Law 4172/2013) to pay an annual fee of 1.5% for the amount of the tax claim guaranteed by the Greek State arising from the difference between the current tax rate (currently 29%) and the tax rate that was valid on 31.12.2014 (26%). The amount of the commission for the year 2021 amounts to € 5,086.
Pursuant to article 24 par. 8 of law 4172/2013, the new established credit institution Alpha Bank Societe Anonyme made use of the beneficial provisions of the law and postponed the depreciation for tax purposes of its fixed assets for the first three tax years. Based on Circular 1073 / 31.3.2015 of AADE, the postponement of tax depreciation does not include the amortization of the debit difference of article 27 par. 2 of law 4172/2013 (loss from the exchange of Greek government bonds) and of the debit difference of article 27 par.3 of Law 4172/2013 (loss from final write-off or transfer of doubtful receivables). From 1.7.2020, which is the date of commencement of the first fiscal year of Alpha Bank S.A., tax depreciation of € 177.4 million and deferred tax of € 51.4 million, which is included in the item "Write-offs, depreciation, impairment of plant, property and equipment and leases" was reversed.
As at 31.12.2021, the Group has not recognized deferred tax asset related to tax losses of FY 2021 amounting to € 420,138, which have resulted mainly from the sale of the 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of Galaxy securitisation.
Deferred tax assets that have not been recognized as at 31.12.2021 deriving from relevant tax losses are presented in the following table by year of maturity.
| Year of maturity of tax losses | Deferred Tax Assets |

| 2027 | 843 |
| 2028 | 292 |
| Total | 420,138 |
Moreover, thr Group has not recognized deferred tax asset on temporary differences of amount € 282,264 out of which amount € 267,503 derives mainly from the valuation of the 44% of the junior and mezzanine notes held by Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., due to the fact that it is not expected that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which those losses can be set off. The year for the reversal of the above temporary differences can not be reliably determinated.
The non-recognized deferred tax assets as at 31.12.2020 amounted to € 213,161.

It is noted that in January 2021, 2,281,716 options rights were exercised which resulted in the issuance of 2,281,716 ordinary, registered, voting shares with nominal value of Euro 0.30 each. The share capital of the Company increased by € 685 and the share premium increased by € 1,483.
Additionally, the share capital increase of Alpha Services and Holdings SA was completed on July, and the share capital of the Company increased by € 240,000 with the issuance of 800,000,000 common, registered, voting shares with nominal value of € 0.30 each, while the share premium increased by the amount of € 560,000 which occurred from the difference between the nominal value of € 0.30 each and the issue price of € 1.00 each.

Diluted earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period with the dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company holds shares of this category, which arise from a plan of awarding stock options rights to employees of the Company and its connected entities (note 8).
For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that the option rights are exercised and that the related inflows derive from the issuance of common shares at the average market price of the year during which the options were outstanding. The difference between the number of options to be granted and the ordinary shares issued at the average market price for ordinary shares, is recognized as issuance of ordinary shares without exchange.

The Group uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair values due to changes in market rates of fixed interest rate: a) Greek Government Bonds, b) retail loans and c) a specific corporate loan.
For all hedges of interest rate risk, the Group determines the reference interest rate associated with the hedged risk (Euro rate) at inception of the hedging relationship and calculates the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument with respect to euro interest rate curve.
The amendments of the IFRS 39 that address issues arising from the interest rate benchmark reform do not expect to have any impact to the existing fair value hedges considering that the hedging instruments are applied with the corresponding Euribor referenced interest rate and that it is not replaced with any alternative interest rate.
In order to measure hedge effectiveness, the changes in the fair value of the hedged item are compared to the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and in order for the hedge to qualify as effective, the ratio of the change in the fair value
of the hedging instrument over the change in the fair value of the hedged item is required to be within 80% -125% (dollar offset method).
The Group has identified the following sources which may lead to hedging ineffectiveness:
During the year, the Group did not identify any other source of hedging ineffectiveness.

In regards to cash flows hedging relationships, the Group determines the referenced interest rate associated with the hedged risk (Euro rate) at inception of the hedging relationship and measures the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and a hypothetical derivative relating to Euro interest rate curve changes.
The floating leg of the hypothetical derivative replicates the cash flows of the hedged item, whereas the fixed leg cash flows are determined so that the hypothetical derivative has a value equal to zero at inception. In order to measure the effectiveness of the hedge, the changes of the hypothetical derivative are compared to the changes of the hedged item, and in order for the hedge to qualify as effective the ratio of the change in the fair value of the hypothetical derivative over the change in the fair values of the hedged item should be between 80% - 125% (dollar offset method).
The Group has identified the following sources that may lead to ineffective hedging:
No other sources of ineffectiveness were identified during the year.
On 31.12.2021 there are no cash flow hedging instruments in force. Regarding the discontinued hedging relationships, on 31.12.2021 the amount of € 20.78 million before tax (31.12.2020: € 20.84 million) was reclassified from the negative cash flow hedging reserve of time deposits to interest expense of deposits and therefore the negative cash flow hedging reserve amounted to € 294.25 million before tax (31.12.2020: € 315.03 million).
The Group hedges part of the net investment in RON through loans in RON and foreign exchange swap derivatives. In addition, the Group hedges part of the net investment in GBP in the subsidiary Alpha Bank London through forward foreign exchange derivative transactions that are renewed. For the hedging of the foreign currency risk of the net investment in foreign operations, valuation of the net assets takes place using the spot exchange rate, while any foreign exchange differences arising from this valuation are compared to exchange rate differences from the derivative. In order to measure the effectiveness of the hedge, the changes in the hedged item are compared to the changes in the hedging instrument, and in order for the hedge to qualify as effective the ratio of the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument over the change in the fair value of the hedged item should be between 80% - 125% (dollar offset method).
The Group recognizes the following sources which may lead to ineffective hedging:
During the year, no other sources of ineffectiveness were identified.

In the context of the reassessment of the hold to collect business model of loans and advances to customers, past sales are taken into account.
Considering that:
the Group has assessed that the "hold to collect" business model is not challenged.
On 30.4.2020 the Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger completed, in accordance with the provisions of article 10 of Law 3156/2003, the securitization of a portfolio of consumer, mortgage and corporate loans and receivables to special purpose entities. In particular, Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger transferred non-performing loan portfolios to four special purpose entities, Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company, set up for this purpose, which in turn issued notes. The three securitizations follow a three-tranche structure and have issued senior, mezzanine and junior notes. The Company acquired the total of the notes and maintained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from the securitized portfolios, which resulted to not derecognizing the loans as it retained in all cases the risks and rewards of securitized portfolios.
In February 2021, a binding agreement was concluded with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, which provided for the sale of 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of the Non-performing Exposure portfolio issued by Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company.
The sale was concluded on 18.6.2021 for a consideration of € 5,778. Following the sale of the mezzanine and junior notes, the Group ceased to have the control over the securitized loans, given that the special purpose entities have practically the right to transfer them to third party. As a result the Group derecognized the loans and recognised a loss from derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost amounting to € 2,238,989.
The calculation of the loss included besides the consideration the following:
The derecognition of the abovementioned loan portfolio was preceded by the transfer of loans of carrying amount € 28,497,491 to the new credit institution in the context of the hive-down of the banking business sector.
The carrying amount of securitized loans in the special purpose entity Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company was classified at 31.12.2021 to asets held for sale (note 48). On 31.12.2020 the total amount of securitized loans in the special purpose enterprizes of the Galaxy securitization was € 6,043,792.
Additionally, the Bank in the context of the galaxy transaction recognized senior notes amounting to € 3,839,596 in loans measured at amortized cost, as well as mezannine and junior notes amounting to € 1,991 to loans measured at fair value trough profit or loss.
On 28.6.2021 the Bank transferred portfolios of non-performing loans to the special purpose vehicle "Gemini Core Securitization Designated Activity Company" based in Ireland which was established for this purpose and which in turn issued notes. The Bank covered all issues, which resulted in the control of the special purpose vehicle by the Bank and the non-

derecognition of these loans from its balance sheet as it retained all risks and rewards arising from the securitized portfolios. The balance of securitized loans of the aforementioned transaction measured at amortized cost amounted to € 4,526,627 as of 31.12.2021.
On 17.12.2021 the "Cosmos" transaction was completed which included:
As a result of the above the Group recognized in loans measured at amortized cost the senior notes amounting to € 1,720,935 and also recognized in loans measured in fair value through profit or loss the mezzanine and junior notes amounting to € 570. The Cosmos loan portfolio had been classified in assets held for sale as of 30.9.2021. Additionally, the Group owns a portfolio of business and consumer loans, credit cards and receivables from financial leases that have been securitized through special purpose entities controlled by the Group. After an examination of the contractual terms and and structure of the above transactions (i.e. guarantees or/ and credit support or ownership of bonds issued by special purpose entities) it occurs that the Group maintained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from the securitized portfolios. The aforementioned securitized loans and advances to customers after allowance for expected credit losses, measured at amortized cost, as of 31.12.2021 amounted to 1,378,329.
Mortgage loans as at 31.12.2021 include loans amounting to € 3,420,371 (2020: € 3.370.323) which have been used as collateral in the Covered Bond Issuance Program I and Covered Bond Issuance Program II of the Bank and the Direct Issuance Covered Bond Program of Alpha Bank Romania.

For the above loans the allowance for expected credit losses recognized as at 31.12.2021 amounts to € 1,392 (31.12.2020 € 2,083).
As at 31.12.2021, the Group classified the Sky and Orbit portfolios under "Assets Held for sale". The first portfolio concerned a Cypriot portfolio of retail and wholesale loans, with a book value of € 555,496. and the second portfolio related to retail banking loans mainly unsecured with a carrying amount of € 34,903.

In December 2021, following
The Executive Committee of the Bank took the decision to minimize the usage of the FVOCI portfolio towards the utmost operational needs of the Bank's Capital Markets, and long-term securities to be used to collect interest income which is also consistent with the Strategic decision of the Bank and to reclassify bonds amounting to € 4.16 billion to the hold to collect category.
The above decision was assessed that meets the criteria for a change in the business model in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 and therefore from 1.1.2022 the relevant investment portfolio is reclassified to the portfolio of investment securities measured at amortized cost. The securities will be reclassified at their fair value on 1.1.2022 which however will be adjusted for the cumulative losses of € 6.98 million that have been recognized in equity, and as a result the value of the bonds will be as they had always been measured at amortised cost. Their original interest rate and expected credit losses that have already been recognized are not affected.
The Group has made the irrevocable election on initial recognition to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income equity instruments that have the following characteristics:

The Group's share in equity and profit/(losses) of each associate and joint venture is set out below:
The Group's associates include Zero Energy Buildings Energy Services Societe Anonyme, in which the subsidiaries of the Group Alpha Ventures and Ionian Equity Participations participate with 49% in the total share capital having preferred shares acquired through the conversion of its bonds. The significant influence that the Group exercises on the company derives from the fact that these preferred shares have voting rights while there is also the right of appointing a member to the Board of Directors of the Company. However, the preferred shares based on their characteristics, including the term for their mandatory redemption by the issuer, do not constitute an equity instrument and are therefore valued under IFRS 9 as Securities valued at fair value through profit or loss.
The Group's associates include the non-consolidated special purpose company Aurora SME I DAC through which the Bank in December 2021 made a synthetic securitization transaction of small and medium and large business loans. While the activities and returns of the company are predetermined, the Bank reserves the right to make decisions on specific core activities that arise if the special purpose company suffers a credit event and/or if the collateral of the bond issued to third parties is down graded. Therefore, the Bank exerts a significant influence on the special purpose company. As the Bank does not participate in its share capital and has no exposure to any of its equity instruments, the equity method is not applicable.
The Group considers as significant the associates and joint ventures in which it participates by taking into account the activities that are considered to be of strategic importance, the book value of the Group's participation in the companies and the loans and receivables that consist part of the Group's net investment in the companies, if any.
On the basis of the above, the associates Cepal Holdings S.A., Alpha Investment Property Elaionas S.A., Perigenis Commercial Property S.A. and the joint venture APE Investment Property S.A. are considered as significant.

* Τhe companies are parent companies of groups as mentioned in Note 40.

All the above-mentioned companies are established in Greece, are not listed on a regulated market and therefore there is no reference value for their fair value. Except for the associates and joint ventures that have been classified as Assets held for sale and are valued in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5, the other associates and joint ventures are valued using the equity method.
Condensed financial information of Alpha Investment Property Eleonas S.A., Cepal Holdings S.A.

"Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund" relates to the Bank's participation in the assets of Investment Cover Scheme and Deposit Cover Scheme and comprises the following:
The above difference is considered, according to Law 4370/7.3.2016 in "Deposit Guarantee Scheme (transposition of Directive 2014/49/EU), Deposit and Investment Guarantee Fund and other regulations" a distinct group of assets, which are considered to be assets of the participating depository institutions according to their participation.
"Tax advances and withholding taxes" is presented, net of provisions amounted to € 64,763 in year 2021 (31.12.2020 € 64,763).
As at 31.12.2021 the Group measured "Property obtained from auctions and other property held for sale" at the lowest value between the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. For the cases where the fair value was lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss of € 15,452 was recognized in "Other expenses" of the Income Statement. As at 31.12.2020 the relevant impairment loss amounted to € 7,471. The main part of the impairment losses for the current year related to properties with carrying amount of € 20,384 on 31.12.2021 that were transferred to the Assets for Sale (note 48). The recoverable amount of the property which was impaired during the current year amounted to € 22,372 (31.12.2020: € 133,280).
The fair value of the assets has been estimated based on the methods mentioned in note 1.2.7 and are classified in terms of fair value hierarchy in Level 3, since is based on market research data, assumptions and inputs relating to properties of relevant characteristics and therefore encompass a wide range of unobservable market inputs. The capitalization rate used was between 6.5% and 8%.
It is noted that further to the updated reports obtained by the competent divisions of the Bank relating to the effect of Covid-19 on the values of real estate properties it is estimated that these values have not been affected by the pandemic in order to merit further impairment in the fair values during 31.12.2021.

In order to cope with the effects of Covid-19 pandemic, ensure adequate liquidity, normalize market's condition and support the credit expansion, European Central Bank gradually announced since March 2020 a series of measures such as amendment on terms of the Targeted Longer Term Refinancing Operations III and a new bunch of non-targeted longer term refinancing operations due to the pandemic (Pandemic Emergency Longer Term Refinancing Operations). On 24.6.2020 the Bank proceeded to the early termination of the borrowed amount of € 3,1 billion, through the existing program of targeted long term refinancing II (TLTRO II) with an interest rate of -0,40% and raised additional liquidity of € 11.9 billion through the Targeted Long Term Refinancing Operations III (TLTRO III) with an interest rate -0,50% while at the same date an amount of € 7.5 billion that was raised during the nine month period of 2020 through the Long-Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) matured. It is noted that the interest rate of TLTRO III can reach -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2021 and remain to -0.5% for the residual period until maturity, provided that the amount of loans falling under the program remain for the period between March 2020 and March 2021, at March 2020's levels. The ECB announced on 10.12.2020 a further amendment to the terms of the TLTRO III program, according to which if, in addition to the achievement of the target set for the period March 2020 - March 2021, loans for the period October 2020 - December 2021 remain at the levels of October 2020 the interest rate can be set at -1% for the next period from June 2021 to June 2022. The Bank recognized interest for the year 2020 based on the interest rate of -0.50%.
The additional funding of € 1.0 billion received in March 2021, the repayments of € 1.9 billion and € 2.0 billion in September and December 2021 and the concurrent renewals of € 4.0 billion, resulted in total borrowing through the TLTRO III program of € 13 billion as at 31.12.2021. In terms of loans, the target for the period March 2020 - March 2021 has been achieved, while it is also estimated, on the basis of the available data, that the target for the period October 2020 - December 2021 is also being achieved. Following the above, an income of € 152,759 was recognized, which includes the retrospective recognition of income amounting to € 31,568 with the additional margin of -0.50% for the period 24.6.2020-31.12.2020 and an income of € 121,191 relating to the current fiscal year of which an amount of € 56,800 relates to the additional margin -0.50%.
In particular, given that changes in the interest rate based on the level of the achievement of the objectives are contractually prescribed, the effective interest rate will be adjusted as a conventionally predetermined variable interest rate when the estimates for the achievement of the objectives become reliable and cummulative adjust of the amount recognized in interest income. It is also noted that the interest rate of this loan has not been treated as an off-market interest rate loan as the European Central Bank has provided it to all credit institutions under its supervision.
Regarding the reduction in liabilities to other credit institutions, the increase of ECB funding led to reduction in repos transactions.
The caption "Borrowing Funds" includes mainly liabilities of the Group towards multilateral development banks.
The interest income recognized for the period of 2021 and 2020 from these transactions is presented in the caption 'Interest and similar income' of the Statement of Income.

In 2021, due to customers increased by € 3,138,686 compared to the comparative year on the one hand due to the increase in private savings, as a result of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and the reduced amount of consumer spending, as consumers cannot spend - in a degree - due to the measures of limiting the economic activity, and on the other hand due to the increase of the saving accounts of corporates, as a result of the restraint of the expenses, due to the uncertainty, but also due to the extraordinary measures adopted by the Greek Government in order to support businesses.

Liabilities to merchants arising from the use of credit cards, despite being related to the card acquiring industry, are not included in the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, as during the completion of the spin-off in Alpha Payment Services and the disposal of 51% of the company, this obligation will be replaced by an obligation to Alpha Payment Services which will no longer be a subsidiary company (note 43).
More specifically for the Bank, the duration of the lease agreement in new branches is set at three years with the possibility of extension by the Bank for an additional period, taking into account current conditions at that respective period. The extensions are performed with the same terms as with the initial leases, retaining the right to terminate the contract at any time within the agreed period. The Bank's policy is to renew these contracts, if needed.
In the case of renewals of existing leases, the new lease is set at three years with the possibility of an extension by the Bank for an additional period, which decides whether to exercise in accordance with current conditions at that respective period. The extensions performed is with the same terms as of the initial lease, retaining the right to terminate the contract at any time within the agreed period. The Bank's policy is to renew these contracts, if needed.
In particular, in the case of branch leases, which the Bank decided that the lease should be extended, the term of the lease is set at one or two years on the basis of the relevant extension right.
Finally, for leases of off-site ATMs, for the majority of them, the lease duration is set at one or two years and if extended, since contractually the extension transpose them to indefinite, the duration of the lease is estimated for ten years.
It is noted that there are no property leases which include a variable lease term while variable leases have been included in the expenses relating to other types of leases. However, variable lease terms, which concern other lease categories, were recorded in expenses.
It is noted that there are initial lease agreements relating to the operation of Off Site ATM that were signed in the last days of 2021 and have been implemented since 1.1.2022, however they do not have a significant impact on the Group's amounts.
In addition, there are no cases where the Group has sold and subleased a property owned.

The Group through the subsidiary AlphaLife A.A.E.Z. undertakes insurance risk. Insurance risk is defined as the risk of a change in the liabilities (technical provisions) of an insurance policy due to a deviation from the expected, in relation to mortality, longevity, maturity of insurance contracts and expenses. In particular, the risks of mortality and longevity result from the death or survival of more than expected policyholders (non-verification of the mortality table), while the risks of acquisitions, cancellations and expenses arise from the change from the expected cancellations and redemptions and any change in the forecasted expenses.
The Group performs a liability adequacy test in accordance with IFRS 4 to determine whether the recognized mathematical provisions, less carrying forward acquisition costs, are sufficient to cover liabilities arising from insurance policies. These liabilities are calculated as the present value of future expenses less the present value of future income. Income means premiums and expenses are the benefits arising from the conclusion of the insurance policy as well as the management expenses of the Group as well as the commissions. Assumptions are used for the calculations which concern the mortality, the discount rate, the cancellation of the contracts and the expenses of the Group. These assumptions are determined based on the Group's experience and the sensitivity of the results to these changes is checked.
In order to limit the insurance risk, the Group has an insurance risk-taking policy based on which rules and limits have been established regarding the design of new products, the pricing and the characteristics of the contracts. The results are monitored on a regular basis through profitability audits and incorporate sensitivity assessments into key risk factors such as mortality, survival, costs and acquisitions and risk reduction techniques such as reinsurance. In addition, the Group has a policy of calculation and control of technical provisions ensuring the completeness, accuracy of technical provisions and the appropriateness of the methodology used. For the most effective and substantial categorization of the above, the risks regarding their importance are monitored and recorded through the results obtained from the capital adequacy calculation exercises as well as the Own Risk Self-Assessment (ORSA) and Operational Risk (RSC) Exercises.

Following the acquisition of control of Acarta Construct Srl, the Group recognized after eliminations total revenue of € 237 and losses before income tax of € 364 from the consolidation of its results in 2020.

On 30.12.2021, the group acquired the control of the company Engromest, which operates in the business of real estate management, as the lender of the company that based on the agreement mentioned below, it is the one who decides on its main business activities related to the management of its property while it is also the one that is most exposed to the variable returns of the company due to the borrowing.
More specifically, the shares of the borrower Engromest were transferred to a SPV which has undertaken to provide management services of the property of Engromest for a fee. On the same date, an agreement was signed between the Group, Engromest and the SPV, which acquired its shares, according to which it is determined that the property is managed in accordance with the instructions received from the lender of Engromest. In particular, the management is based on an initial business plan approved by the lender, any amendments to the business plan are also approved by the lender, and any decision to transfer Engromest's property or shares requires the lender' s approval. The lender has the right to acquire the shares of Engromest (call option) for € 1.

No dividends were distributed by the aforementioned companies, for the years 2021 and 2020.
The Group's significant restrictions regarding the use of assets or the settlement of liabilities, are those imposed by the regulatory framework in which its subsidiaries operate and concerns mainly those that are subject to supervision for their capital adequacy. In particular, the regulatory authorities request, where appropriate and depending on the nature of the company, the compliance with specific thresholds, for example maintaining minimum capital adequacy ratios, holding a predetermined level of highly liquid assets, minimizing their exposure to other Group companies and complying with specified ratios. The total assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries operating in the banking, insurance and other mainly financial sectors with significant restrictions amount to € 10.276 million (31.12.2020 € 9.226 million) and € 9.082 million (31.12.2020 € 7.988 million) respectively.
In addition, all Greek subsidiaries are subject to the restrictions imposed by the regulatory framework (Codified Law 4548/2018 or any other specific legislation depending on the nature of their operations) regarding the minimum threshold of the share capital and net assets as well as the ability to distribute dividends and to transfer equity shares.
Moreover, the cash withdrawals and capital restrictions imposed by Legislative Act within 2015 and applied to all companies operating in Greece, ceased to be effective within 2019, according to a relevant amendment incorporated in Law 4624/2019, causing the whole removal of existing restrictions on capital movement until then.
There are no options of protection rights held by third parties in the share capital of subsidiaries that could otherwise limit the Group's ability to utilize those assets or settle the Group's liabilities.
The Group on 31.12.2021 consolidates six special purpose entities that serve securitization transactions of loan portfolios held by companies of the Group. The Group exercises control over these special purpose entities as it has authority over their activities and significant exposure to their returns.
During 2021 the Group carried out two new securitization transactions of non-performing loans by transferring loan portfolios to the special purpose entities Gemini Core Securitisation DAC and Cosmos Securitization DAC, which were established for this purpose and issued notes covered by the Group. During the year, 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of Cosmos Securitization DAC were transferred by the Group to a third party investor, which resulted in a loss of control of the special purpose entity and termination of its consolidation. Regarding the securitization transactions of non-performing loans established in 2020, it is noted that the Group in 2021 sold 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes issued by the companies Orion Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC and Galaxy IV Funding DAC, which resulted in the loss of control of the above special purpose entities and the cessation of their consolidation. The Group continues to hold all of the issued notes of the Galaxy III Funding DAC, which it consolidates.
The other securitization of loan portfolio transactions that were in force on 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020 were established in previous years for liquidity purposes through the issuance of notes or other legal form of lending. Within 2021, securitization transactions were revoked through Katanalotika Plc and Alpha Quantum DAC with the repayment of all notes issued.
The table below presents the nominal value of notes or other forms of lending, excluding subordinated loans, issued by a company with a special structure that is consolidated by the Group. On 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020 all the following notes and other financial instruments issued by the entities were held by the Group.

With resepct to securitization transactions aimed to raise liquidity, depending on the criteria to be met for each securitized portfolio, the Group, without having any relevant contractual obligation, proceeds as appropriate in ad hoc repurchases of securitized loans. In addition, for those securitization transactions that are in replacement period, the Group engages in new securitization transactions of loan portfolios by transferring them to those entities, in order to meet the specific quantitative criteria related to the amounts of the bonds issued. The intention of the Group is to continue this practice.
Furthermore, on 31.12.2021 the Group had granted subordinated loans amounting to € 148,043 (31.12.2020: € 174,171) to the special purpose entities for credit enhancement purposes of the securitization transactions. It is noted that on 22.1.2021 the high repayment priority loan of Alpha Shipping Finance Ltd was repaid with an equal increase of the reduced collateral loan also held by the Group. This loan is now the only form of lending by Alpha Shipping Finance Ltd and therefore under these circumstances is preceded in the repayment priority order. Apart from the above mentioned loan, the Group has no contractual obligation to grant additional funding to the entities, except for the loan to the Alpha Shipping Finance Limited to which the Group is obliged, if needed, to grant additional amounts.
Regarding non-performing loan transactions, in particular the Gemini transaction, repurchases and new securitizations are carried out to ensure that the eligibility criteria are met. Repurchases and new securitizations are not settled in cash but adjust the value of the bond issued by the company. Also, the Group has granted a loan of € 50 million in order to provide liquidity to the special purpose entity and has no contractual obligation to provide additional financing. In the Galaxy III transaction, repurchases and new loan securitizations may be made on an ad hoc basis to optimize the amount of the portfolio in relation to the nominal value of the note issued, as well as individual loan repurchases in order to meet specific eligibility criteria set for the transaction.

The Group, through its subsidiary Alpha Asset Management AEDAK, manages 41 (31.12.2019: 41) mutual funds which meet the definition of structured entities and at each reporting date, it assesses whether it controls any of these according with the provisions of IFRS 10.
The Group, acting as the manager of the mutual funds has the ability to direct the activities which significantly affect the level of their return by selecting the investments made by the funds within the framework of permitted investments as described in the regulation of each fund. As a result, the Group has power over the mutual funds under management but within a clearly defined decision making framework. Moreover the Group is exposed to variable returns through its involvement in the mutual funds as it receives fees for the purchase, redemption and management of the funds under normal market levels for similar services. The Group also holds direct investments in some of the funds under management, the level of which is assessed to be determined whether it leads to a significant variability in its returns compared to the variability of the respective total rate of return of the mutual fund. Due to these factors, the Group assessed that, for all mutual funds under management, it exercises, for the benefit of unit holders, the decision making rights assigned to it acting as an agent without controlling the mutual funds.
The following table presents by category of investments the total assets of the mutual funds managed but not controlled by the Group.
In particular, the below table shows the total assets of the mutual funds under management but not controlled by the Group by category of investment. During the year 2020, the commision income from the management fees of these Mutual Funds amounted to € 31,379 (2020: € 17,819).

In the context of Galaxy and Cosmos transactions carried out within the year 2021, the Group acquired notes issued by the special purpose entities Orion Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC, Galaxy IV Funding DAC and Cosmos Securitization DAC that were established to serve the respective non-performing loan securitization transactions. Initially, the Group covered all the issues, which resulted in the exercise of control over the special purpose entities. With the sale of 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes to a third party investor within the year 2021, the Group ceased to control and consolidate these companies. The Group maintained 100% of the senior notes which were classified in the category of loans measured at amortized cost and 49% of the mezzanine and junior notes, of which 5% were classified in the category of loans measured at fair value through profit or loss and 44% was classified in the category of securities measured at fair value through profit or loss, based on the business model and the contractual terms of these notes. The following table presents the book value of 31.12.2021 of the above notes and the results recognized by the Group from the respective securities during the year. It is noted that the total nominal value of the securities issued by the aforementioned special purpose entities on 31.12.2021 amounts to € 14 billion.

The Group has granted loans with a book value of € 112.4 million as of 31.12.2021 to the special purpose entities Orion Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC, Galaxy IV Funding DAC and Cosmos Securitization DAC in order to finance their reserves. The total results recognized by the Group from these loans in the year 2021 amounted to € 505. The above companies hold deposits with the Group amounting to € 270.7 as of 31.12.2021.
Regarding the Group's liabilities arising from the specific securitization transactions, it is pointed out that the securitized portfolios that were transferred included letters of guarantee. In case of forfeiture of any of them, the Group disburses a loan which it transfers directly to the respective special purpose entity at a price equal to the value of the loan. The payment of the price is made from special deposit accounts, with pledged balances kept by the aforementioned companies specifically for the specific purpose in the Group. Also, the Group has undertaken to issue letters of guarantee for the above securitization companies, up to a total limit of € 205 million, in exchange for a commission. In case of forfeiture of a guarantee, the amount paid becomes immediately due and is repaid through the reserves and accounts of the securitization company, while in case these are not enough, it is placed in a high order of payment priority and it is repaid through interest payments.
Also, in the context of the above transactions Galaxy and Cosmos, the special purpose entities Reoco Orion X MAE, Reoco Galaxy II MAE, Reoco Galaxy IV MAE and Reoco Cosmos MAE were established, whose main activity is to participate in auctions for the purchase of properties that are collaterals of the respective securitized portfolios and their subsequent management. The Group retains 100% of the share capital of these companies, however it does not control them as their main activities are performed by the manager according to the instructions given by the holders of the mezzanine notes, the majority of which are
owned by the third investor. The Group's participation in the above companies has been classified in the portfolio of securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and on 31.12.2021 amounted to € 133. It is noted that the Group has undertaken to provide financing through granting of loans to the above companies for the acquisition of properties. In the event that a relevant loan is required to be granted, this is transferred immediately to the respective special purpose entity holding the securitized portfolio with an advance payment of the relevant price to the Group. In the event that the price is not prepaid, the Group is not obliged to proceed with the disbursement of the loan and therefore the Group's exposure to credit risk from the above transaction is zero. The above companies keep deposits with the Group that amount to € 175 on 31.12.2021.
The aforementioned book values of Notes, loans and participations together with the aforementioned commitments of the Group for the provision of loans and guarantees constitute the maximum possible exposure of the Group to the special purpose entities established in the context of Galaxy and Cosmos transactions.
In December 2021, the Group entered into a synthetic securitization transaction of a portfolio of small and medium-sized and large business loans, through which the non-consolidated special purpose entity Aurora SME I DAC, in which the Group has a significant influence, provides the Group with a guarantee for a part of credit losses of the securitized portfolio, in accordance with the terms specified in the contract between them. For this purpose, Aurora SME I DAC issued a bond with a nominal value of € 152 million, which was covered by third parties not affiliated with the Group, and the proceeds from the issuance that are a collateral for the Group's compensation in case of forfeiture of the quarantee. The Group pays a commission to the special purpose entity for the provision of the guarantee and has also undertaken to cover its expenses. During the year, a relevant expense of € 588 was recognized in the results. Also, the Group is the collateral manager, investing in eligible securities according to specified criteria.
In addition, the Group has investments in special purpose entities through its participation in venture capital mutual funds which it does not manage as well as in companies subject to the issuance of securities secured by its assets (asset-backed securities).

Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 50.
The Group has established a thorough and prudent risk management framework which is being built on best supervisory practices which, considering on the common European legislation and banking system rules, principles and standards is evolved over time in order to be implemented in a coherent and effective manner on the Bank's and Group's companies conduct of the day-to-day business to ensure the effectiveness of the corporate governance of the Group entities.
The Group's critical focus in 2021 was to maintain high standards in corporate governance and compliance with regulatory risk rules and retain confidence in the conduct of its business activities through sound and robust provision of financial services.
The Board of Directors supervises the overall operations of the Risk Management Unit. Regarding Risk Management, the Board of Directors has established a Risk Management Committee (RMC), which convenes on a monthly basis and reports to the BoD. The RMC recommends to the BoD risk undertaking and capital management strategy, checks its implementation and evaluates its effectiveness.
The risk management framework and its effectiveness are re-assessed on a regular basis in order to ensure compliance with supervisory and regulatory requirements.
For a more comprehensive and effective identification and monitoring of all risk types, Management Committees have been established (Assets and Liabilities Committee, Operational Risk Committee and Credit Risk Committee).
The General Manager - Group Chief Risk Officer supervises the Risk Management Unit of the Group and reports on a regular basis and ad hoc to the Management Committees, the Risk Management Committee and to the Board of Directors. As far as credit risk is concerned the reporting to the above-mentioned Committees covers the following areas:
In the Group, under the supervision of the General Manager - Group Chief Risk Officer, the following Risk Management Divisions operate within the Group and have been assigned with the responsibility of implementing the risk management framework, according to the principles of the RMC.
For credit risk management purposes, facilities are separated into Wholesale and Retail, as described below.
Wholesale Banking credit facilities are included in each of the following categories subject to the characteristics of the credit facility and the obligor, as shown in the table below:
| Portfolio | Characteristics | |
|---|---|---|
| Obligors under the competence of Wholesale Banking |
Corporate | Companies with turnover > Euro 75 million Includes financing in shipping companies, as well as, obligors under the management of the Investment Banking Division |
| SME | Companies with turnover > Euro 2.5 million and up to Euro 75 million or companies with credit limit > Euro 1 million |
The Group, following best international practices and taking into account the prevailing institutional framework set by legislation, regulations, ministerial decrees/decisions, etc, has established a robust credit risk framework, where the key principles and guidelines, the procedures and actions followed and the responsibilities of all related Units and Officers are clearly defined based on the four eyes principle.
Within this context, all credit proposals are prepared by the Business Units, are reviewed by the Credit Units and are subsequently forwarded for assessment and final decision to the respective Credit Committee based on the total credit exposure, the borrower risk rating, the provided collaterals and the environmental and social risk evaluation.
The limits of the Wholesale Banking Credit Committees are determined in accordance to Total Credit Exposure, defined as the sum of all credit facilities of the obligor (single company or group of associated companies) which can be approved by the Group and include the following:
Credit Committees decisions are multidimensional, with the main assessments performed being as following:
The credit limits' expiry/renewal date is determined by the relevant Wholesale Banking Credit Committees. The basic factor for the determination of the credit limit expiry is the client's credit rating, which is not a standalone approval or rejection criterion, but the basis for determining the minimum security/collateral required and the respective pricing. As a rule, for obligors that have been rated in the Low, Medium and Acceptable credit risk zones, reviews are carried out on an annual basis, for Watch List clients, on a semi-annual basis while obligors that have been rated in the High Risk zone are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Deviations from the above rule are not allowed, except when the request by the responsible Business Units is approved by the competent Credit Committees.
The assessment of the borrower's creditworthiness and their rating in credit risk scales is established through rating systems.
The rating of the Group's borrowers with the use of credit risk rating systems constitutes a basic tool for:
The aim of the credit risk rating systems is the estimation of the probability that the borrowers will not meet their contractual obligations to the Group as well as the Expected Credit Loss estimation.
The rating systems employed by the Group are the Alpha Bank Rating System (ABRS) and Moody's Credit Lens which incorporate different credit rating models.
All current and future clients of the Group are assessed based on the appropriate credit risk rating model and within prespecified time frames.
For the estimation of the probability of default of the obligors of the Group the credit risk rating models evaluate a series of parameters, which can be grouped as follows:
The credit rating models which are currently employed by the Group are differentiated according to:
For each of the credit rating models, different parameters may be used, each of which contributes in a specific manner the relevant assessment.
The statistical validation of the credit risk rating models is reviewed regularly in order to ensure the maximum predictive and discriminatory ability according to the supervisory and regulatory framework for credit risk management.
Borrowers are rated in the following rating scales:
For special purpose finance (Structured and Shipping Financing) special models have been designed (slotting) with the following categorization scale:
For presentation purposes of table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS9 Stage", the "strong" rating includes the rating scales AA, A+, A, A-, BB+ and BB and Categories 1 and 2, "satisfactory" rating includes the rating scales BB-, B+, B, B-, CC+, CC and Category 3, and " under close monitoring" (higher risk) includes the rating scales CC-, C and Category 4. Last, default category, includes the rating scales D, D0, D1, D2.
Retail banking involves the lending facilities offered from the Group to borrowers covering traditional banking products and services such as:
The Group monitors customer Total Credit Risk Exposure (For Individuals and Small Businesses), which refers to the sum of all revolving limits of an obligor, all the balances of long term facilities and for the case of small businesses the total exposure of facilities given to stakeholders of customer companies. Additionally, facilities for which the customer is guarantor or co-debtor are also taken into account.
The Group has developed and implemented a strict framework for the conduct of credit policy (legislative and supervisory / regulatory) and has also formulated and put into effect an internal system of credit principles, procedures and rules clearly applicable to the Group's lending business, in order to promote sound practices for managing credit risk.

Credit policies establish the framework for lending and guide the credit-granting activities of Retail Banking through:
The enforcement of the Credit Policy requires certain criteria to be met. These criteria play a significant role in the achievement and maintenance of a healthy portfolio and in the Group's Capital allocation. In particular:
The approval process of credit to individuals (individuals with earnings from salaries, pensions or other sources of income not related with business activities) is performed on the basis of the classification of borrowers into risk groups, which represent a certain level of undertaken risk. The level of risk undertaken by the Group is adjusted, when deemed necessary, according to its credit policy.
The credit assessment for individuals is based upon the following pillars:
Small Businesses are defined as following:
The creditworthiness of Small Businesses in the Retail Banking sector is related to the creditworthiness of company's stakeholders/ managers of the company and vice versa. Therefore, the evaluation of claims in this category is based on two dimensions:
The creditworthiness of a company's stakeholders or managers is based on the specific pillars:
The credit assessment for the small businesses is based on the following:
The fundamental parameter in assessing Retail Banking Credit Risk is the Credit Scoring Models that are developed and
employed throughout the credit cycle at the Group level. The above models segments populations into homogenous risk groups (pools) and are categorized as follows:
These models and the probabilities of default that derive from them, contribute a significant role in risk management and decision making throughout the Group.
Specifically, the models are used in the following segments:
The parameters taken into account vary, according to the model's type and product category that it assesses. Indicatively, some factors are:
Models are reviewed, validated and updated on a yearly basis and are subject to quality control so as to ensure at their predictive power at any point in time.
Furthermore, on a regular basis the Group conducts exercises simulating crisis situations (Stress Tests), which explore the potential impact on the financial results of the Group due to unfavorable developments both in obligors' transactional behavior as well as in the broader financial macroeconomic environment.
For presentation purposes of table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage", the classification in "Strong", "Satisfactory" and "Watchlist" categories, for Retail Banking loans is generally based on the twelve-month Probability of Default as well as Staging criterion and EBA status. Specifically, for Alpha Bank Greece,the range of probabilities that determines this classification, has derived from an analysis aiming at optimizating discriminatory power between categories. Therefore ranges might differ for each portfolio and for each subsidiary- Specifically for the Bank, the range of probability default which determine the classification of a loans is presented below:
| Range of probability of default | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rating Classification | Mortgages | Consumer | Credit cards | Small Businesses | |
| Strong | up to 5% | up to 5% | up to 3% | up to 5% | |
| Satisfactory | from 5% up to 13% | from 5% up to 13% | from 3% up to 13% | from 5.0% up to 13% | |
| Watchlist | over 13% | over 13% | over 13% | over 13% |
According to the risk management and control framework, there are three "lines of defence" with distinctly allocated roles and responsibilities and specifically the Business and Operations Units (first "Line of Defence"), the Risk Management Units (second "Line of Defence") and the Internal Audit Unit (third "Line of Defence").
In the context of the second line of defence operation and within the single context of operations set out for the sectors of Retail Banking, Wholesale Banking and Private and Investment Banking, credit controls are carried out in order to optimise Credit Risk management, to assess the quality of the loan portfolio and to ensure that the first "line of defence" operates within the framework set out for effective Credit Risk management.
This second line of defence is independent and aims, among else, to:
In order to reinforce the second line of defense the Group has established, the Risk Models Validation Division, an independent division from model development activities, with direct reporting line to General Manager and CRO.
The role of Risk Models Validation Division, in the context of the MRM Framework, encompasses different responsibilities and activities related to the monitoring of the performance of the models undertaken by the first line of defense. Its primary task is to independently challenge and ensure that models are sound, fit-for-purpose as well as aligned with the regulatory guidelines. Risk Models Validation Division responsibility is to develop systematic procedures for the evaluation of models' performance as well as model related processes, on a periodic basis.
The frequency, rigor and sophistication of the validation process followed for each model is determined by the overall use, complexity and materiality of models, as well as the size and complexity of the Group's operations. The associated level of inherent model risk, as assessed by the Tiering methodology, determines the validation requirements in terms of frequency, extent and intensity.
Collaterals are received in order to mitigate credit risk that may arise from the obligor's inability to fulfill his contractual obligations, at the loan origination or during the loan lifetime, either by consensus or after forced executions, auctions, etc. Collaterals include all kind of assets and rights which are made available to the Group either by their debtors or by third parties, in order to be used as complementary liquidity sources of relative loans.
In any case, the necessary legal control of the offered collaterals is carried out, in order to ensure their validity, as well as the possibility to be liquidated or to come into the possession of the Group.
The mitigation tools applied by the Group include two broad categories: intangible and tangible collaterals.
Intangible collaterals form the framework of the obligations and rights that are typically included and described in specific contractual documents that bind the Group and the borrowers during the lending process with specific commitments. The commitments involve a third party who substitutes for the primary debtor in the event of the latter's default or the primary debtor itself (natural or legal entities) to honor the contractual loan agreements and their prompt repayment to the Group and on the other hand the Group has the right to claim them.
The main type of intangible collateral used to protect the Group against debtor insolvency is the Guarantee.
The guarantee constitutes a legal relationship between the guarantor and the lender (Bank), through which the guarantor assumes the responsibility that the debt will be paid. It is drafted in writing and presupposes the existence of a basic legal relationship between the Bank and the borrower (principal debt), i.e. it is a relationship of principal to ancillary.
The guarantor can be an individual or a legal entity and the guarantee can be provided for future or conditional debt.
It is noted that the intangible collaterals include the guarantees of the Greek State which are taken into account in the calculation

of the expected credit loss, unlike other intangible collaterals which are not counted in the calculation of the allowance for expected credit losses.
Tangible collaterals provide the Group with the rights over an asset (movable or immovable), owned by the obligor or the guarantor, providing priority in the satisfaction of the creditor by the liquidation proceeds of the asset.
Tangible collaterals are distinguished between mortgages and prenotation on mortgages which are registered over immovable properties and pledges on movable assets (e.g., commodities, checks, bills of exchange) or on claims and rights.
In order to better secure credit facilities granted, all mortgage and pledged assets are covered by an insurance contract, with assignment of the relevant insurance contract to the Bank.
Mortgages are registered on real estate or immovable assets which can be liquidated as indicatively reported below:
According to the Group's Credit Policy, the existence and the valuation of mortgaged property are closely monitored. The property revaluations should be carried out on a yearly basis all property types, except for cases where contract foresees something different, in cases of known changes on the property or in the business process, or in case there are urban planning changes or any other considerable factors. In addition to the review of collateral values, the Group also validates such collateral values on an annual basis.
The initial valuations of a real estate property, provided as collateral, are carried out through on site appraiser visits and internal inspection.
Revaluations of properties, which are collaterals to performing exposures, are mainly carried out using the following methodologies:
The revaluations for property used as collateral to non-performing exposures, are mainly carried out using the following methodologies:
• Alignment with the property price statistical index of the Bank of Greece, for Residential Properties and for non-performing exposures up to Euro 300 thousand.
The Group in the context of the credit control process performs on a regular basis and through proper sampling, audits for the procedures of implementation of the Group Loan Collateral Policy, audits (back-testing) for the verification of property valuations. Audits are based on indices and individual assessmentsin order to ensure that the proper collateral valuation is captured in the Group's Companies core systems according to the values mentioned in the relevant Committee approvals.
Pledges provide seniority rights over liquidation proceeds from a movable third party asset.
Pledges can be registered on movable assets, securities, rights or claims that have not been excluded or banned from exchanges and which can be liquidated, including:
Depending on the right or the underlying asset on which a pledge is registered, the periodic revaluation varies from one month to one year.
During the approval process, the Group calculates the value of the collaterals received based on the potential proceeds that could arise if and when these are liquidated, in order to reduce potential risk. This estimation is referred to as the acceptable guaranteed value of the collaterals provided to the Group for the determination of which the quality of the assets as well as their market value are taken into account. In this way, the ratio of acceptable guaranteed values are determined for each type of collateral, those are expressed as a percentage of their market value, nominal or weighted value, depending on the type of collateral.
In order to optimise the management of Lending and, in particular, limit the loans whose status changes from Performing Loans (PLs) to Non-Performing Loans (NPLs), the Group has developed the Credit Risk Early Warning System, which is defined as the aggregation of actions, processes and reports required to ensure the early identification of events, at borrower (corporate and individuals) and portfolio level, which may possibly lead to either an increase in NPLs due to the debtor's negligence or financial difficulty of a temporary or permanent nature or an increase in exposures with significant increase in credit risk, as well as the relevant actions that must be taken in order to manage the borrowers concerned.
A comprehensive and effective Credit Risk Early Warning System is composed of the following stages:

The perimeter to which the Credit Risk Early Warning System is implemented encompasses all performing exposures, as well up to up to 10 days-past-due for Retail (beyond 11 days-past-due assignments for management) and 30 days delinquent loans (PLs) for Wholesale which have not been forborne.
Additionally to the early identification and management of borrowers or loan portfolio segments with signals of deterioration, the Group also monitors through the Early Warning System the loan portfolio, regardless of days past due, to ensure that the evolution and performance of the lending portfolio are in accordance with the Bank's and Group's Credit Risk Appetite.
The Group enhanced its Early Warning (EW) system to introduce Covid-19-specific events and expanded policies to ensure their applicability to the Covid-19 general moratoria perimeter. Specifically:
The effectiveness of the Credit Risk Early Warning System is being monitored on a regular basis by three "lines of defence":
The Group has updated its Risk Inventory to include in the internal risks definitions the dimension of climate-related risks. The main climate risk transmission channels in the area of credit risk include transition risk (e.g. the energy efficiency standards may trigger substantial adaptation costs and therefore lower profitability for counterparties as well as lower collateral values) and physical risk (e.g. a damage to counterparties' physical capital reduces the value of their assets and therefore, collateral valuations). Thus, climate risks may have an impact on Group's main credit risk parameters (PD, LGD, EAD).
The Group is currently in the process of identifying the sectors mostly sensitive to climate related risks, through a materiality assessment exercise. In this vein, the Group is in the process of conducting a transition risk assessment exercise in its corporates portfolio, to identify its exposure per sector and the allocation of portfolio to potentially high transition risk categories. Furthermore, the Group is in the process of conducting a qualitative analysis on its top 15 clients in terms of transition risk. On physical risk, the Group is in the process of conducting a materiality assessment for flood risk as regards the allocation of its real estate secured exposures per risk class of the geographical location of exposures, taking also into consideration the collateral assurance against natural disasters for its whole secured building portfolio.
In alignment with the ECB expectations and in the context of the Action Plan submitted to the ECB in May 2021, the Group has incorporated in its Risk Appetite Framework, the following qualitative statements on climate risks in the context of Credit Risk:
define and communicate their client related commitments and to develop and execute effective strategies to mitigate climate risks.
It should be also underlined that the Group has already updated its Credit Policy to expand the exclusion list activities i.e the activities that does not finance. Specifically, the Group does not finance the following activities: Thermal coal mining or coal-fired electricity generation capacity; Upstream oil exploration; Upstream oil development projects, except in rare and exceptional circumstances where the proceeds of the project exclusively target the reduction of GHG emissions or flaring from existing producing fields.
In 2022, the Group is participating in the following ECB supervisory initiatives regarding climate related and environmental risks: ECB Climate Risk Stress Test and the Thematic Review on the incorporation of climate-related and environmental risks into Groups' risk strategies, governance and risk management frameworks and processes.
The ECB Climate Risk Stress Test is a learning exercise for banks and supervisors. It aims to identify vulnerabilities, best practices and challenges that banks face when managing climate risk. Importantly, this is not a success or failure exercise, nor does it have a direct impact on banks' capital levels.
The purpose of the 2022 Thematic Review, is to carry out further deepenings in institutions' strategies related to climate and environmental risks, governance risks as well as risk management frameworks and procedures. In this way, the ECB will assess and assess the soundness and completeness of its key policies and processes, as well as the ability of institutions to effectively steer their strategies and risk profiles for the climate and the environment.
Regarding the impact of climate risk on the calculation of Expected Credit Risk Loss, detailed information on the location of collateral as well as information on energy performance certificates is being collected. The information will be incorporated into the respective data systems and methodological approaches will be developed in order to adapt the models for calculating expected credit risk loss. More specifically, the following are in progress:
Concentration Risk is a specific form of credit risk and arises due to the low degree of diversification between counterparties, products or group of counterparties, sectors, geographic regions, or collaterals.
The Group monitors on a regular basis concentration risk at sector level and at borrower/group of borrowers level as well through detail reporting which informs senior management and Committees of the Board of Directors.
The Group categorizes the financed companies according to their NACE Rev.2 codes into Industry groups/Sectors, which are rated into risk zones. The Sectors ranking relative to their credit risk is carried out by an independent and certified company and is based on a predictive indicator that, focusing on future estimates rather than solely on past data, captures the risks and prospects of each sector. The Group determines the Credit Risk Appetite per sector and manages the concentration risk by monitoring the evolotion of its portfolio.

Additionally, the Group manages concentration risk at borrower/group of borrowers level by setting and monitoring compliance with limits set both by regulatory guidelines and by internal policies that have been developped.
Regulatory limits are mandated externally as following:
Apart from the above limits set by external/ regulatory guidelines, the Bank has developed internal Policies that set limits aiming at managing and monitoring the concentration risk at borrower/group of borrowers level, taking into account the total credit limits as well as the credit rating of Borrowers. It is noted that, the relevant Policy is approved by the Board of Directors through the Risk Management Committee.
In line with the supervisory framework, the Group applies and complies with the regulatory directives regarding large exposures, while the capital requirements for single name and sector concentration risks are estimated in the context of Pillar 2 of Basel II.
The following definitions are provided as guidance to tables that follow:
The Public Sector includes:
An Exposure is past due if the counterparty's exposure is, materially, more than one day past due (sum of the principal, interests and charges/commissions due more than one day at an account level).
An exposure is considered as Non-Performing when at least one of the following criteria apply at the time of the credit risk rating assessment:
When a Wholesale Banking borrower has an exposure that is more than 90 days past due and the amount of this exposure exceeds 20% of total exposures of the borrower, then all exposures of the borrower are considered as non-performing (Pulling Effect).
An exposure is considered as performing when the following criteria are met:

or
• The exposure is classified as forborne performing exposure, as defined in the aforementioned Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/227 of 9 January 2015.
An exposure is flagged as 'Unlikely To Pay' (UTP) when it is less than 90 days past due and the Group assesses that the borrower is unlikely to fully meet his credit obligations without the liquidation of collateral, regardless the existence of any past due amount or the number of days past due, with the exception of collaterals that are part of the production and trade chain of the borrower (e.g. properties for Real Estate companies, corporate shares for Holding companies).
For Wholesale Banking, the procedure is the following:
(a) Identification of events which when occur lead to the transfer of the exposure to Non-Performing status without requiring an assessment by any Credit Committee (Hard UTP Triggers),
(b) Identification of triggers which when occur, lead to borrower's credit assessment by the relevant Wholesale Banking Credit Committee in order to determine whether borrower's exposures should be classified as Non-Performing or not (Soft UTP Triggers). This assessment takes place when reviewing borrower's credit limits depending on its credit ratings and in accordance with Wholesale Banking Credit Manual. If a borrower is flagged as UTP, then his credit risk rating should be D (Default) according to Group's rating system or Default for Borrowers assessed using Slotting Models. If a borrower flagged as UTP belongs to a group of companies, then the group should also be assessed by the competent Credit Committee for the existence or not of UTP trigger.
For Wholesale Banking exposures the following Hard UTP Triggers exist:
Additionally, for Wholesale Banking exposures the following Soft UTP Triggers exist:

For Retail Banking, the procedure is the following:
(a)Identification of events which when occur lead to the transfer of the exposure to Non-Performing status without requiring an assessment by any Credit Committee (Hard UTP Triggers),
(b)Identification of triggers which when occur, lead to borrower's credit assessment by the relevant Retail Banking Credit Committee in order to determine whether borrower's exposures should be classified as Non-Performing or not (Soft UTP Triggers). This assessment takes place at the date of a forbearance request. If an exposure is flagged as UTP, then it should be classified as Non-Performing in the systems of the Group's companies.
For Retail Banking exposures the following Hard UTP Triggers exist:
Additionally, for Retail Banking exposures the following Soft UTP Triggers exist:
It is noted that the Group has adopted the new Definition of Default that applies from 1.1.2021, according to the EBA guideline (Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013), adjusting its Policies and updating the Hard and Soft UTP triggers by implementing new ones (see par. "NEW Definition Of Default"), for both the Retail and Wholesale Banking Portfolios.
In order to support a more harmonised approach with regard to the definition of default, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has adopted the following, that guide the application of the definition of default: the Guidelines for the application of the default definition, EBA/GL/2016/07 and the Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the materiality threshold for credit obligations in arrears; EBA/RTS/2016/06.
The Group adopts the new Definition of Default of credit exposures that applies from 1.1.2021.
The main changes introduced by the new Definition of Default are presented as follows:
The Group has decided since 2018 to align Default, NPE and IFRS 9 "Credit Impaired" perimeter.
A Default event is considered to have occurred, regarding a particular Borrower, when at least one of the following criteria has taken place:
The Borrower is past due more than 90 consecutive days on any material amount of the credit obligation(s).
Particularly, for Alpha Bank Greece, exposures at Alpha Leasing and ABC Factors are taken into consideration at the calculation of the Past Due Criterion.
The Bank considers that the Borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations without recourse by the Bank to actions such as realizing security.
Additionally the Default classification and the EBA classification should be aligned and thus any FNPL or NPL exposure is considered as Defaulted.
For Retail exposures, the above specified definition of Default is applied at the level of an individual credit facility.
For Non-Retail exposures, the definition of Default is applied at the obligor level meaning that when at least one of the above specified criteria are met, the Obligor is considered as Defaulted. The Past Due Criterion is applied both at facility and at obligor level for exposures classified as Non-Retail, in order to be able to identify exposures for which the Past Due Criterion is satisfied at facility level, but not at obligor level.


An exposure is considered as Credit Impaired when the criteria specified by the definition of Non-Performing Exposures are met.
An exposure is considered as Default when the criteria specified by the definition of Non-Performing Exposures are met.
For credit risk reporting purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost includes also the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their acquisition or origination (POCI) since the Bank, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the provisions. These loans were recognized either in the context of acquisition of specific loans or companies (i.e. Emporiki Bank and Citibank's retail operations in Greece), or as a result of significant modification of the terms of the previous loan that led to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has been performed to the carrying amount of the loans before allowance for expected credit losses.
The collateral value taken into account is the latest market value available. In the case of immovable properties, collateral value is considered the lower amount between the prenotation amount and the market value of the real estate. Value of guarantees only includes the amount that exceeds the value of collaterals. All collateral values are capped at 100% of the outstanding amount of the loan.
The Group, at each reporting date, recognizes a provision for expected credit losses on loans and advances to customers not measured at fair value through profit or loss as well as for letters of guarantee, letters of credit and undrawn loan commitments.
The Loan Impairment Methodology is common and applicable for both the Wholesale and Retail Banking Portfolios.
The Group has fully aligned the perimeters of the portfolios characterized as "EBA Non-performing Exposures", "Exposures in Default" and "IFRS 9 Impaired Exposures".
The definition of Non-Performing Exposures is consistently used to develop models for estimating credit risk parameters (Probability of Default, Loss Given Default, Exposure at Default).
In addition, the definition of default is consistent with the one used for internal credit risk management purposes, as well as capital adequacy measuring objectives.
Following an exposure's initial recognition, exposure is classified into stages based on its credit risk characteristics. The classification of loans in stages is based on the changes of the credit quality compared to its initial recognition.
Upon initial recognition of an exposure, the Group must determine whether this exposure is considered as credit impaired (Credit Impaired at Initial Recognition).
The POCI category (Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired, POCI) includes the following:
For exposures not classified as POCI, the classification in stages is performed as follows:
• The Stage 1 includes performing credit exposures that have no significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition
date. The expected credit losses calculated are based on the probability of default within the next 12 months and the assessment is carried out on a collective basis with the exception of borrowers assessed on an individual basis
With regards to the POCI exposures, the expected credit losses calculated are the lifetime losses.
All possible movements between Stages of credit risk are presented below
All exposures in default status (Stage 3), except from those related to distressed restructuring, in order to be reclassified as non-default, a probation period of at least 3 months is needed from the time when the conditions leading to default status are not applied. Exposures with distressed restructuring, regardless of whether the restructuring took place before or after the default, should have a minimum probation period of 12 months from the most recent event of the following:
The Group does not make use of the exemption provided by the standard for low credit risk exposures.
For classification purposes, for wholesale banking revolving exposures, initial recognition date is the date of the most recent credit assessment reflecting the annual thorough credit risk review practice of the Group.
For the timely identification of significant increase in credit risk for an Exposure after the initial recognition (SICR) leading to the calculation of lifetime credit lossed of the exposure instead of twelve months credit losses, the risk of default at the reference date is compared to the risk of default at the initial recognition date for all Performing Exposures, including those with no days past due (Delinquencies).
The assessment to determine whether an exposure shows significant increase in credit risk or not is based on the following three types of Indicators:
• Quantitative Indicators: They refer to the use of quantitative information and specifically to the comparison between the probability of default (PD) at the reference date and the probability of default at the initial recognition date.
The assessment of significant increase in credit risk is based either on a relative or on an absolute increase of PD between the reporting date and the initial recognition date. The relative increase can range between 125% and 200% depending on the asset class of the loans. For Wholesale exposures, the relative increase can range between 50% and 200% as Obligor rating is taken into consideration. The absolute threshold, when used, can range between 3 and 5 percentage points depending on the asset class of the loans and acts as a backstop to the relative (i.e., just one of the two triggers needs to
be hit in order to trigger stage 2). Also, the threefold increase in annualized PD as backstop is ensured. The SICR thresholds are derived based on portfolio level analyses. The assessment of the exposures for significant increase in credit risk is applied on account level. Absolute and relative thresholds determining the significant increase between reporting and initial recognition date are validated on an annual basis, in order to ensure the correct application of stage 1 and stage 2 along with the verification that the criteria capture the credit risk deterioration.
The Expected Credit Losses calculation is carried out either on an individual basis, taking into account the significance of the exposure, the fact that certain exposures do not share common credit risk characteristics and the existence or not of sufficient historical data, or on a collective basis.
For companies where the corporate guarantee from the parent company represent 100% of the exposure of the companies, or for other important interdependencies between group of companies, the assessment may be performed at a group level.
Regarding the exposures to companies, with at least one non-performing exposure, they are individually assessed if they exceed the limits set by each company of the Group (following the permission/approval of the Bank). All other exposures to Companies are collectively assessed.
Specifically for the Bank, Exposures to Companies assessed on an individual basis are the following:
Any remaining Exposure to Companies is assessed collectively.
Non-performing Exposures to Individuals are individually assessed, if the exposures of retail banking customers exceed the defined limits according to the specifications of each Group company. All other exposures to individuals are collectively assessed.
Specifically for the Bank, Exposures to Individuals are assessed individually, if they are Non-Performing Exposures (NPE), and if the following threshold, per portfolio, applies:
Any remaining exposure to Individuals is assessed collectively.
Collective Assessment applies to credit exposures which are not assessed individually, i.e. exposures classified in Stage 1 and Stage 2 as well as non-performing exposures that do not meet the above criteria for individual assessment, after having been categorised based on similar credit risk characteristics by portfolio.
For the classification of credit facilities into groups with similar credit risk characteristics, the followings are considered:
The groupings are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that each group is comprised of homogenous exposures. Expected Credit Loss is calculated on account level.
Allowance for expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect the changes in the credit risk since initial recognition and thus provide timely information on evolution of expected credit losses.
The measurement of Expected Credit Losses is performed as follows:
(a) the contractual cash flows that will be due if the loan commitment is drawn down; and
(b) the cash flows that the Group expects to receive if this amount is disbursed.
− For letters of guarantee and letters of credit, the loss is equal to the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs less any amounts that the Group expects to receive from the holder.
Calculation of Expected Credit Loss is based on the following credit risk parameters which are developed through internal statistical models based on historical data.
Specifically, regarding 2021, in the context of the annual update of Credit Risk parameters, the following adjustments have been performed:
It is an estimate of the probability of a borrower to default over a specific time horizon.
For assessing the probability of default, the credit risk rating models assess a series of parameters that can be grouped as follows:

Regarding Specialized Lending the Probability to Default is estimated on facility level based on dedicated expert based models.
It is an estimate of the probability of an account to default over a specific time horizon.
For assessing the probability of default, credit risk behavioural models have been developed which assess a series of parameters that can be grouped as follows:
Credit Risk models/Ratings models constitute the main input in order to determine the probability of default. The Group uses statistical models in order to analyze the collected data and make estimates of the remaining probability of default over the life of the exposures and how they will evolve over time based, among other things, on macroeconomic variables. Specifically, based on historical time series of observations, specialized models have been developed per portfolio and portfolio type, which evaluate separately the twelve-month probability of default (12-month PD models) as well as the probability of default throughout the lifetime of exposures (Lifetime PD models). The twelve-month default models basically evaluate the behavioural models of the loan, while the Lifetime models evaluate two types of factors: the endogenous such as the maturity of the loan and the exogenous ones such as the macroeconomic environment (indicatively unemployment, annual percentage change in GDP, change in property prices). The final estimate of the probability of default is derived from the combination of the two components (12-month PD & Lifetime PDs).
• Exposure at default (EAD): Exposure at Default is an estimate of the amount of the exposure at the time of the default taking into account: (a) expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including principal and interest payments; (b) the expected use of credit limits and (c) accrued interest. The approved credit limits that have not been fully disbursed represent a potential credit exposure and are converted into a credit exposure equal to the approved undrawn loan commitments multiplied by a Credit Conversion Factor (CCF). The Credit Conversion factor of credit exposure is calculated based on statistical models. The maximum period for which credit losses are calculated is the remaining contractual maturity of a financial instrument unless the Group has the legal right to recall the financial instrument earlier. In particular, for Credit Cards and loan agreements to individuals, the maximum period is set at three years, while for revolving loans to Small Businesses, the corresponding maturity is set at four years. Regarding Wholesale Banking loan agreements, the period is set to one year, given the throrough credit review performed at least once a year. If the residual maturity of the loan agreements classified in Stage 2 was increased by one year, Expected Credit Losses would increase by € 7.5 million as at 31.12.2021.
The Group uses models that reflect the characteristics of the portfolios.
• Loss given default (LGD): Loss given default is an estimate of the loss that will occur if the default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those expected to be received, including the liquidation of collaterals, probability of cure and probability to modify which are both based on historical data. For unsecured loans, the Estimated Expected loss at the time of the default, takes into account expected recovery rates which vary throughout the recovery period as well as the probability of curing and probability to modify. Expected recoveries from tangible collaterals are based on the following inputs: the most recent (updated within the

year) market value of the collateral, the time required for the liquidation or sale of the collateral (ranging between 1 to 4 years depending on the legal action status of the loan), the expected market value at liquidation /sale date based on the evolution of RRE/ CRE indices for the next 4 years, the expected recoveries through foreclosure process or sale (as derived from historical data obtained for foreclosures and sales of collateral). The recovery rate is adjusted at the end to reflect value of preferential claims. Expected cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate.
Last, it is noted that for exposures secured with tangible collaterals and with cash recoveries, the LGD may vary following changes of macroeconomic scenarios. The estimates for expected recovery through payments are adjusted by incorporating macroeconomic indicators (indicatively unemployment, annual percentage change in GDP, change in property prices) through the development of corresponding statistical models. More specifically, based on historical time series of observations, specialized models (regression) have been developed per portfolio, which assess the expected recovery combined with the impact of macroeconomic indicators.
Regarding the cure rate estimates, statistical models (regression) per portfolio have been developed on the basis of historical time series of observations, which incorporate the impact of the macroeconomic environment through relevant indicators (indicatively unemployment, annual percentage change in GDP, change in property prices).
Management overlays refer to temporary adjustments applied to allowance for expected credit losses, in the context of the preparation of financial statements, in order to incorporate recent developments and information that cannot be captured by the internal models used for the estimation of the expected credit losses.
The Group implements a robust governance framework to review and support the management, calculation and application of these adjustments. The Group's governance framework requires such adjustments to be well documented, controlled and appropriately approved.
More specifically, the adjustments performed by the Group relate to the incorporation of alternative recovery scenarios in relation to the objectives of reducing the stock of outstanding non-performing loans, included in its business plans.
Where the business plan of the Group includes objectives and recovery strategies through portfolio disposals, then for the portfolio of non-performing loans that may be disposed of, the recoverable amount is quantified by weighting (i) the value in the event of sale (fair value) and (ii) the amount expected to be recovered according to the internal methods adopted by the Group for the impairment of non-performing loans, i.e. based on the individual assessment for the exposures exceeding a defined threshold and based on collective assessment for the others.
The weighting is based on the probability assigned to each non-performing loan portfolio by assessing the stage of preparation of the underlying portfolios, the significance of the conditions precedent for materialization of the sale as well as the recovery time.
For 2021, the portfolios where a sale scenario was considered include the Solar portfolio and the Leasing portfolio for which the probability of sale was estimated at 20%. For the Sky and the Orbit portfolios the probability of sales was estimated at 100%.
The effect of the incorporation of the sale scenario in the ECL calculation for 2021 amounted to € 1,038 mil. (2020: € 320 mil.) (note 11).
In addition, the Group performed an overlay in the output of the ECL for specific non performing residential and non residential loan portfolios, in order to incorporate the effect of ad hoc management actions (i.e. conditional write downs) on these portfolios determined on the basis of the time in default.
The effect of the incorporation of the sale scenario in the ECL calculation for 2021 amounted to € 93 mil.
The Group calculates allowance for expected credit losses based on the weighted probability of three alternative scenarios. More specifically, the Economic Research Division produces forecasts for the possible evolution of macroeconomic variables that affect the level of allowance for expected credit losses of loan portfolios under a baseline and under two alternative macroeconomic scenarios (an upside and a downside one) and also produces the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios.
The macroeconomic variables affecting the level of expected credit losses are the Gross Domestic product (hereinafter "GDP"), the unemployment rate and forward-looking prices of residential and commercial real estates.
The Bank updated the existing scenarios on 31.12.2020, which for 31.12.2021 provide growth rates for 2021, ranging from 9.1% (upside scenario) of quasi-V shape to return to pre-Covid-19 and strong growth rates in the coming years, up to 7.6% (downside scenario) of quasi-shape (incomplete) with relatively lower growth rates in the medium term.
Regarding Alpha Bank Cyprus, the growth rate for 2021 ranges from 5.9% (upside scenario) to 4.7% (downside scenario), while for Alpha Bank Romania it ranges from 7.0% (upside scenario) to 2.5% (downside scenario).
The above approach is due to the gradual weakening of the pandemic phenomenon, the scale and effectiveness of its containment efforts, combined with the scope and speed of fiscal and monetary policy measures. In this context, an important negative factor was the maintenance of a degree of uncertainty and supply chain disruptions.
The main features of these scenarios can be described as follows:
The baseline scenario predicts a strong recovery in comparison to the initial shock. This positive impact on domestic economic activity is estimated to come from:
Fiscal support remained in place in 2021, weakening the negative impact on economic activity and confidence, as the government adopted additional fiscal measures of Euro 17 billion, while the Budget for 2022 provides for additional budgetary interventions for of the consequences of the pandemic, amounting to Euro 3.3 billion.
The dynamics of the baseline scenario in 2022 is based on the formation of conditions for a change in the composition of economic growth, which is expected to come to a greater extent from investment expenditure. The conditions for the increase of investments, in the next period, will be determined
(a)from the course of the debt of the Greek economy to the investment grade, and
(b)the inflow of funds from the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) - which is the central element of the European Union (Next Generation EU) recovery plan to address the negative effects of the pandemic, as well as the implementation of structural reforms that create an entrepreneurial environment.
Regarding real estate prices, their growth rate was revised to improve over the forecasts of December 2020 for both 2021 and cumulatively for the period 2021-23, due to the strong recovery of economic activity. The above revision on the improvement of the Group's estimates for real estate prices for 2021 and beyond (eg from 3.2% to 6.3% on an annual basis for the current year) is significantly linked to enrichment of the analysis with the historical data of the second quarter (+ 6.1% on an annual basis) and the third quarter (+ 7.9% on an annual basis) of the BoG index, a development that shows a strong dynamics of housing prices real estate
In the upside scenario the development of the pandemic crisis is more favorable than originally expected. It is believed that the economy will recover at a stronger pace, achieving a rapid and complete return to normalcy before the pandemic.
Real estate prices exceed their pre-Covid-19 potential, assisted by other structural factors besides the rise of construction activity
The downside scenario shows a partial restoration of losses in terms of GDP in 2020, predicting a relatively limited increase in 2021 and the next two years. The scenario reflects inflationary pressures, but also geopolitical tensions, as well as a possible deterioration of epidemiological data, which are the main factors of uncertainty in the short term, slowing down the recovery of the Greek economy.

Specifically in Greece, the macroeconomic variables per year for the period 2022-2025, which affect both the estimation of the probability of default and the estimation of the expected Loss in case of default when calculating the expected credit loss are the following:
| Downside scenario | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real GDP growth (% change) | 3,00% | 2,00% | 0,90% | 0,40% |
| Unemployment (% change) | 13,90% | 13,60% | 12,30% | 11,70% |
| RRE prices (% change) | 3,30% | 0,40% | 1,00% | 1,70% |
| CRE Price Index (% change) | 3,50% | 2,90% | 2,50% | 3,00% |
| Baseline scenario | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
| Real GDP growth (% change) | 5,20% | 4,10% | 2,80% | 2,20% |
| Unemployment (% change) | 13,20% | 11,90% | 10,50% | 9,70% |
| RRE prices (% change) | 5,40% | 2,20% | 2,20% | 2,60% |
| CRE Price Index (% change) | 4,50% | 4,20% | 4,40% | 3,90% |
| Upside scenario | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
| Real GDP growth (% change) | 7,40% | 6,30% | 4,70% | 4,10% |
| Unemployment (% change) | 12,40% | 10,20% | 8,60% | 7,70% |
| RRE prices (% change) | 7,60% | 4,00% | 3,50% | 3,50% |
| CRE Price Index (% change) | 5,70% | 5,70% | 6,60% | 5,00% |
Respectively, the macroeconomic variables per year for the period 2021-2024 that affect the expected credit risk loss of 31.12.2020, are the following:
| Downside scenario | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real GDP growth (% change) | 2,00% | 2,60% | 1,90% | 0,50% |
| Unemployment (% change) | 17,10% | 17,00% | 15,50% | 14,80% |
| RRE prices (% change) | 0,90% | 0,00% | 1,40% | 1,90% |
| CRE Price Index (% change) | 0,60% | 2,40% | 3,60% | 1,30% |

The production of baseline scenario, supported by a consistent economic description, constitutes the most likely scenario according to the current economic conditions and the Group's basic assessment of the course of the economy.
The cumulative probabilities of the macroeconomic scenarios for the Greek economy indicate that the economy performs better or worse than forecasts of the baseline scenario and the alternative scenarios, i.e. the upside and downside scenario. For each one of the alternative scenarios, the allowance for expected credit losses is calculated and weighted against the probability of each scenario in order to calculate the weighted expected credit loss
The cumulative probability assigned to the baseline scenario remained 60%, while cumulative probability assigned to the downside and upside scenario remained 20% for each of the scenario.
If the assigned cumulative probability of the downside scenario was weighted at 100%, Expected Credit Losses would increase by € 88.0 million as at 31.12.2021 (31.12.2020: € 275.3 million). If the assigned cumulative probability of the upside scenario was weighted at 100%, Expected Credit Losses would decreaseby € 87.2 million as at 31.12.2021 (31.12.2020: € 261.0 million).
The following table shows in more detail this impact per Classification Stage.

According to IFRS 9, these contracts fall within the scope for expected credit losses recognition.
In estimating the allowance for expected credit losses over the life of an undrawn loan commitment, the Group assesses the expected part of the loan commitment that will be used throughout its expected life.
Τhe Group recognizing the inherent model risk, derived from the model complexity and aggregated model risk, has adopted a Model Risk management framework which includes the principles of credit risk models development policy and risk models validation framework. In this context, the independent Risk Models Validation division validates all credit risk models used for the calculation of IFRS 9 allowance for expected credit losses.
The Credit Risk Committee is responsible for approving the Expected Credit Losses as well as the methodologies developed by the Group for calculating the expected credit loss (ECL Methodology) for loan portfolio.
The Board of Directors approves the Group Loan Impairment Policy through the Risk Management Committee.
The Group, in order to support its customers who are affected by the crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has taken a series of measures in order to support businesses as well as individuals facing temporary payment difficulties and liquidity shortages. Initially, the Group provided its customers with "installment suspension payment" programs until 31.3.2021, according to the relevant EBA guidelines (EBA / GL / 2020/02, EBA / GL / 2020/08 and EBA / GL / 2020/15). It is noted that on the 31st of December 2021, there were no active exposures that have received payment suspension scheme. Since 01/04/2021, for those customers whose ability to pay has not been restored to the pre-Crisis levels, by the "installment suspension payment" programs, the Group proceeded to the following actions:
Moreover, it is noted that the Bank closely monitors and actively participates in Business as well as Individual Financing Support Programs running either by the Greek Government or by the competent European Institutions (Program "Gefyra" Ι & ΙΙ, EAΤ, ΤEPIX, European Investment Fund, COSME, EIF etc.).
During the second quarter of 2021, the Bank Loan Impairment Policy has been amended by the Group, as the EBA guidelines on legislative and non-legislative loan payment moratoria, applied due to the Covid-19 crisis (EBA / GL / 2020/02, EBA / GL / 2020/08) cease to be valid from 1.4.2021 and no further payment suspensions are granted due to Covid-19. In addition, Post model adjustments (PMAs) are no longer applicable to exposures affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. More specifically, the following are no longer applicable:
indicaton of permanent financial difficulty, were classified in Stage 2 and Lifetime ECL is calculated for the remaining maturity of the exposures.
During 2020 the Group adopted sound staging and provisioning policies and procedures, in line with established IFRS 9 best practices, in order to ensured appropriate credit risk management and coverage during the COVID-19 crisis. To that direction, the following post model adjustments were performed both in terms of risk parameters and Stage Classification criteria.
More specifically, in order to adress the delays anticipated in the liquidation of the collaterals, the expected time to sale increased by one year compared to 31.12.2019, both for the collectively assessed exposures and for the individually assessed exposures for which the recovery is not based on the operating cash flows (gone concern).
Additionally, the Group has enhanced its credit rating assessment and risk parameter quantification processes to ensure they remain appropriate in the Covid-19 environment. More specifically, the Group conducted an extensive sectoral analysis in order to inform its Covid-19-adjusted segmentation framework. The segmentation was used to identify high-risk segments for prioritisation in terms of the customer outreach. The feedback from the borrower campaign fed the Bank's:
The aforementioned adjustments were still in force in 2021, until the expiration of the supporting measures taken by the Group.
Considering that the aim of overlays is to reduce any uncertainty that cannot be captured by the existing models, any decision whether these adjustments should be factored in the model is examined during the regular update of the model. To that direction, and in line with Group's Model Management Policy and ECL methodology framework, all credit risk parameters have been calibrated with 2021 figures in order to account for any post covid effect. In addition, the most recent financial data were used for the calculation of ECL for the individually assessed exposures and for the rating of Wholesale Banking obligors. With this approach, the calculation of Expected Credit Risk Loss was based on the updated Credit Risk parameters and the most recent financial data, without any additional adjustment.
Finally, as the Group's models assess the evolution of next year's GDP (forward-looking), in order to ensure a strong model estimate and avoid abrupt effects, for the purpose of calculating the expected loss, the estimate of the period 2020-2021 has been used for GDP as more representative. This approach was applied until 30.9.2021. As of 31.12.2021, and given that the templates were updated incorporating the trading behaviour of 2021, they take into account the evolution of next year's GDP without any specific adjustment.

Maintaining a healthy loan portfolio depends on the constant monitoring and assessment of the borrowers in order to allow early detection of future liquidity problems, which could affect the normal repayment of their obligations to the Group.
The credit tools which are normally used by the Group for managing the liquidity problems that borrowers are facing for repaying their obligations are the restructuring of debt through the renegotiation of the original terms and conditions of the loan agreement they have entered into.
The Executive Committee "Act 175/2/29.7.2020 of the Bank of Greece, has determined the supervisory framework for the management of loans in arrears and non-performing loans, over and above the already applicable requirements of Law 4261/2014, the CRR 575/2013, and delegated the decision authority to the Bank of Greece.
Furthermore, in the context of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/227 of the European Commision dated January 9, 2015 and the executive technical standards of the European Banking Authority, the Group assumes the resulting regulatory obligations for forborne exposures.
Forbearance measures should be applied on the basis of the risk, cooperativeness and viability of each debtor and consist of concessions assessed to be robust and sustainable, through the renegotiation of the initial terms and conditions of the debt contract duly taking into account the causes of the debtor's financial difficulties.
Forbearance measures may be applied a) on the basis of a customer's request, b) in accordance with the Code of Conduct under Law 4224/2013, as currently is in force, which is a State initiative under the supervision of the Bank of Greece. Apart from the forbearance measures applied to existing Retail lending exposures, which are initiated by the Group in accordance with the directives of the Executive Committee Acts of the Bank of Greece (No. 175/2/29.7.2020) and Arrears Resolution Process (ARP) of the Code of Conduct under L.4224/2013 as currently is in force, there are restructuring solutions according to the Legislative Framework.
The existence of more favorable terms for renegotiating and modifying the terms and conditions of the bilateral arrangement between the Group and the debtor (concession), who is facing or is about to face difficulties in meeting his financial commitments ("financial difficulty"), are defined with respect to:
Financial Difficulty is defined as the situation where the debtor is unable to comply or is about to face difficulties in servicing his credit obligations as per the current loan repayment schedule due to the worsening of his financial status.
Following the Executive Committee Act 42/30.5.2014, ("Act 42") as subsequently amended by the Act 47/9.2.2015 ("Act 47") and by the Act 102/30.8.2016 ("Act 102") 134/5.3.2018, 136/2.4.2018 and 175/2/29.7.2020 of the Bank of Greece, the Group has undertaken a series of actions to ensure adherence to the supervisory obligations and requirements arising from the above Acts. These changes cover the following distinct sections:
Bad Debt Write-off is defined as the reduction of the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, when there is no reasonable
expectation of recovery. The write-off refers to the accounting write-off of a debt or a portion of it, i.e. the removal of the financial asset or part of it from the balance sheet, which does not necessarily entail the waiver of the legal right to recover the debt. In the event that the Group decides to waive its legal right to recover the debt, this is called Debt Forgiveness and this waiver may include either on or off-balance sheet items as well.
Bad Debt Write-down is defined as the definitive reduction of a debt or portion of it, as a result of a legally binding decision or agreement (court judgment, contractual agreement etc.), which is not further claimable. It is noted that this category encompasses Definitive write-downs which are unconditional and Conditional Write-Downs (Contingent Write-Down) subject to the achievement by the Customer of a specific performance (usually, upon the successful implementation of a specific repayment program). In the case of Definitive Write-downs, both the accounting and the legal reduction (Debt Forgiveness) take place immediately and simultaneously, whereas in the case of Contingent Write-downs, the accounting reduction takes place when the relevant decision is taken or when the agreement is concluded, while the legal reduction (Debt Forgiveness) takes place either simultaneously with the relevant decision or at a later (future) time, depending on the type of the condition.
Contingent Write-downs of debts are in turn classified into:
Indicative conditions for the submission of proposals for writing-off part or total amount of the exposure include, but are not limited to, the following:
The write-off requires the existence of an equal amount of provision for impairment, established no later than in the quarter preceding the submission of the proposal.
Exposure to credit institutions relates to loans, interbank transactions (which include positions in derivatives), reverse repos transactions and International Trade activities. Following the basic rules of designation, monitoring and revision of corporate lending, boundaries are established by the relevant Credit Committees for the monitoring of credit risk for the overall exposure per credit institution counterparty, excluding positions related to bonds issued by them. The approved credit limits are monitored on a daily basis. The validity period of the limits is specified in the approval of the limits in accordance with the counterparty credit institutions rating from international credit rating agencies.
In addition to the regular revisions of counterparty credit institutions limits, interim revisions may be carried out either due to circumstances associated with the trading activity of the Group or due to markets conditions or problems associated with counterparty credit institutions. Trigger events for an extraordinary review are regularly monitored per counterparty in order to review the relevant limits when such trigger events exist.
At each reporting date, a loss allowance for expected credit losses on due from banks is recognized.
The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the receivable falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
Due from bank's credit risk is assessed based on credit rating of rating agencies or internal credit rating of the counterparty when a loan exposure exists at bank level.
The Group defines as low credit risk all investment grade counterparties, for which it calculates a credit allowance equal to a 12-month expected credit loss (Stage 1).
For counterparties which do not meet the criteria of investment grade, the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk for which calculation of lifetime expected credit losses is required (Stage 2), is based on the two following conditions (whichever occurs first):
Investments in debt securities relate to securities that are classified into investment security portfolio. If there is a loan relationship with the counterparty issuer at the time of classification of the security position as investment, the Corporate Credit Policy procedures apply. These positions are subject to Group investment limits and issuer's limits and are monitored on a daily basis.
At each reporting date, a loss allowance for expected credit losses on bonds, which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized.
The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the debt securities fall under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
Credit risk of investment in debt securities is assessed based on credit ratings of rating agencies or internal credit rating in case of Greek corporate issuers for which loan exposure exists.
The Group defines as low credit risk all investment grade securities, for which it calculates a credit allowance equal to a 12-month expected credit loss (Stage 1).
For debt securities, which do not meet the criteria of investment grade, the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk for which calculation of lifetime expected credit losses is required (Stage 2), is based on the two following conditions:
In addition, the Group is monitoring, the change in credit spreads since the initial recognition date. A change in the credit spread of the issue of more than 500bps since the initial recognition date is a trigger for the review of the debt instrument staging.
Depending on the outcome of the above review the debt instrument will remain at Stage 1 or be allocated at Stage 2, regardless of whether the primary staging criteria for allocation to Stage 2 have been triggered or not.

Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 50.
For credit risk disclosure purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost includes also the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their acquisition or origination (POCI) since the Group, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the provisions. These loans were recognized either in the context of acquisition of specific loans or companies (i.e. Emporiki Bank and Citibank's retail operations in Greece), or as a result of significant modification of the terms of the previous loan that led to derecognition. Relevant adjustment has also been performed at the carrying amount of loans before allowance for expected credit losses.
It is noted that the credit risk tables do not include the outstanding balances and allowance for expected credit losses of loans that have been classified as assets held for sale.
The following tables present past due and not past due loans, measured at amortised cost, per IFRS 9 Stage as well as loans that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, as at 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020:

"Foreign exchange and other movements" includes a provision for a letter of guarantee given as collateral to cover credit risk of subsidiary that was forfeited and transferred to the other loan and advances to customers.

Advances to customers derive mainly from Group's commercial activity other than lending, including mainly receivables from letters of guarantee, receivables from credit cards and other receivables from banking activities. The calculation of allowance for expected credit losses for the receivables that are exposed to credit risk, is being performed using the simplified approach, taking into account their lifetime (without being allocated into stages), as provided by IFRS 9.
The expected credit loss rate applied by the Group was determined based on the assessment of expected credit losses taking into account the time that the aforementioned receivables, which are mainly short-term, remain due.
Advances to customers as at 31.12.2021 amounted to € 285,242 (31.12.2020: € 314,251), while allowance for expected credit losses amounted to € 47,987 (31.12.2020: € 47,227).

Within 2018 the Group created a uniform management strategy for repossessed assets by setting up two new Committees and assigning to a group company the management of all the repossessed properties of the Bank and its subsidiaries. When the Group acquires the legal title of properties in the context of the management of non-performing exposures (NPEs), the respective company is in charge of monitoring the repossession procedures (asset on - boarding), determining the best property management strategy and assigning to the appropriate channels, within or outside the Group, the management of the properties.
Depending on the defined strategy, the property is classified for accounting purposes, in the appropriate category. The classification process is repeated periodically so that the classification of each property is updated based on its current status.
Finally, there is continuous supervision and co-ordination of collaborating asset management channels on the implementation of the defined strategies as well as of the asset commercialization in accordance with the Group's policy and monitoring of their performance through appropriate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

The following tables present the interest income from loans for the year 2021 and 2020 by IFRS 9 Stage.
For loans classified in Stages 1 and 2, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the loan.
For loans classified in Stage 3, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate on the amortised cost of the loan (i.e. gross carrying amount after allowance for expected credit losses), while for Purchased or Originated Credit Impaired loans (POCI) interest income is calculated by applying the adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the loan.

Market risk is the risk of losses arising from unfavorable changes in the value or volatility of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock exchange indices, equity prices and commodities. Losses may also occur either from the trading portfolio or from the Assets-Liabilities management.
More specifically:
The Bank's Market Risk Management Policy elaborates on how market risk is managed within the Bank, i.e. the identification, measurement, monitoring and control of market risk inherent in Treasury assets and liabilities transacted by the Bank and the country local Treasury Management Units, as well as the determination that adequate capital is held against this type of risk. The ultimate objective of the Policy is to provide the framework and principles for the effective management of market risk, in order to:
All competent Bank units and country local Units apply the Policy by developing and applying corresponding processes.
Market risk of trading portfolio is measured by Value at Risk - VAR, that is the maximum amount of loss with a given probability (confidence level). The method applied for calculating Value at Risk is historical simulation with full revaluation with 99% confidence level. The historical observation period is one year at minimum. Risk factor returns are calculated according to the absolute or relative approach.
The Bank calculates VAR on a daily basis and the data sets are updated daily. A holding period of one and ten days is applied for regulatory purposes. Additional holding periods may be applied for internal purposes, according to the time required for the liquidation of the portfolio.
According to regulatory expectations a prospective and retrospective test is performed on a daily bases for the regulatory trading book of the Bank using hypothetical and actual results. The Bank monitors the numbers of days that the results exceed the respective risk limit.

The Value at Risk methodology is based on certain theoretical assumptions, which under extreme market conditions might not capture the maximum loss the Bank may suffer. The limitations of the methodology may be summarized as follows:
On a daily basis, a perspective and retrospective test of Value at Risk model is carried out, taking into account hypothetical and actual changes in the trading book's profit and loss. According to best practices, the model is validated by an independent unit at the Bank on an annual basis.
The Value at Risk methodology is complemented with scenario analysis and stress testing, in order to estimate the potential size of losses that could arise from the trading portfolio for hypothetical as well as historical extreme movements of market parameters (stress-testing).
Within the scope of market risk control, open position, maximum loss (stop loss) and value at risk limits have been set across trading positions.
In particular, limits have been set for the following risks:
Positions held in these products are monitored on a daily basis and are examined for the corresponding limit percentage cover and for any limit excess.
The Market risk may derive, apart from the trading portfolio, from the structure of assets and liabilities and from the portfolio of loans and deposits of the Bank. This risk is a foreign exchange and interest rate risk.
The Bank takes on the risk arising from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
The management of foreign currency position is centralized.
The policy of the Bank is the positions to be closed immediately using spot transactions or currency derivatives. In case that positions remain open, they are daily monitored in the context of the financial risk management policy and they are subject to limits.

Τhe open foreign exchange position as at 31.12.2021 presents the following sensitivity analysis:
Interest rate risk in the banking book relates to the volatility on Equity and interest income of the Bank due to the mismatch between the non-negotiable Assets-Liabilities and the measured at fair value through other comprehensive income portfolio. The interest rate risk management framework is determined in accordance with the Asset Liability Risk Management Policy. Based on this framework, the risk analysis of the Banking Portfolio is analyzed through the Interest Rate Gap Analysis. Particularly, assets and liabilities are classified in Gaps depending on their reprising date for floating-rate items, or maturity date for fixed rate items.
For those assets and liabilities with no maturity date, the distribution of flows is based on models of their behavior analysis. These models have been validated by the competent independent Division of the Bank. Interest rate risk management is carried out by ALCO, following proposals by the Asset -Liability Management Committee, treasury division and market division. Stress interest rate scenarios are carried out on a monthly basis and their impact on the interest income change through EAR (Earnings at Risk) and Equity Value through EVE (Economic Value of Equity) is calculated. Corresponding limits have been set for both measures (EaR & EVE) which are monitored and presented to ALCO and RMC on a regular basis.

The following table presents the Interest Rate Repricing Analysis of both Assets and Liabilities, financial and non financial.

Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 50.
From the Interest Rate Gap Analysis and from the application of alternative scenarios regarding the changes in the market interest rates or the changes in the base interest rates of the Bank and Group companies, the immediate change in the net interest income and equity relating to securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is directly calculated and the respective hedging instruments. In the Interest Rate Gap Analysis, the variance, up to the point it's feasible (interest rate equals to zero), is studied, according to the interest rate curves by currency in force.

Liquidity risk relates to Group's ability to maintain sufficient funds to cover its planned or extraordinary obligations. Liquidity Risk comprises both funding liquidity risk and the risk arising from the Group's failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value (asset liquidity risk).
For those assets and liabilities with no maturity date, the distribution of flows is based on models of their behavior analysis. These models have been validated by the competent independent Division of the Bank.
According to Group's Liquidity Risk Management Policy, the Board Risk Management Committee assigns the overall responsibility for overseeing asset and liability management to Asset - Liability Committee (ALCo). ALCo is responsible on one hand to monitor the quantitative and qualitative aspects of liquidity risk and on the other hand to ensure that appropriate policies and procedures are in place to control and limit liquidity risk. In addition to that, ALCo is responsible for approving the guidelines, principles, risk measurement techniques and limits that have been proposed by the Group Market and Operational Risk Division, Financial Markets Division and Asset Liability Management Division.
Group's executive and senior management is informed on current liquidity risk exposures on a daily basis, ensuring that the Group's liquidity risk profile stays within approved limits. Moreover, management receives on a daily basis a liquidity report, which presents a detailed analysis of Bank's funding sources and counterbalancing capacity. Among others, for the purpose of proper management of liquidity risk and in line with supervisory requirements, the Bank monitors and manages on a monthly basis, the amount, quality and concentration of counterbalancing capacity, the cash flows arising from assets and liabilities (inflows, outflows - maturity ladder) over time, the concentration and cost of funding, the rollover of funding.
The Group calculates the Liquidity Coverage Ratio* and Net Stable Funding Ratio on a monthly and quarterly basis respectively as defined by Regulation (EU) 575/2013.
On 31.12.2021 both ratios (LCR and NSFR) exceeded the minimum acceptable supervisory threshold (100%) with Liquidity Coverage Ratio reaching 151%. This is attributed to the increase in customer deposits, improved access to interbank markets, the issuance of Tier 2 bonds in February 2020 as well as the increase in long-term lending through the Eurosystem (TLTRO-III).
The ratios with reference date 31.12.2021 and 31.12.2020 are presented below:
| 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) | 114% | 109% |
| Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) | 183% | 150% |

* Liquidity Coverage Ratio will be published under Pillar III.
The main reports which are produced on a periodic basis in order to inform the Group's executive and senior management and the ALCo comprise the Static Liquidity Gap analysis, regulatory liquidity ratios of the Group and the subsidiaries, deposit concentration report per subsidiary per currency, Group's Loans to Deposit ratio, liquidity risk indicators and triggers as defined in Recovery Plan of each subsidiary and the Group, liquidity stress testing according to scenarios that evaluate the impact of systemic and idiosyncratic stress events on each subsidiary's liquidity position.
Stress tests are carried out on a monthly basis and/ or more frequently, for liquidity purposes, in order to assess potential outflows (contractual or contingent) to determine the level of immediate liquidity available to cover the Bank's needs. These tests are carried out according to the approved, Liquidity Buffer and Liquidity Stress Scenario Policy of the Group and evaluate the risk in idiosyncratic extraordinary events (idiosyncratic stress test) in the Bank's liquidity, in systemic (systemic stress test) as well as combined events (combined stress test), while it has to be noted that stress tests are also used in order to determine the Liquidity buffer for recovery purposes. According to the policy and within the context of ILAAP, the Bank also applies a reverse stress test in order to examine its impact on its liquidity.
Taking into account that liquidity risk management seeks to ensure that the respective risk of the Group is measured properly and is maintained within acceptable levels, even under adverse conditions, then the Group must have access to funds in order to cover customer needs, maturing liabilities and other capital needs, while maintaining at the same time the appropriate counterbalancing capacity to ensure the above.
More analytically, the total funding can be divided into two main categories:
Deposits that are intended to meet short term needs of customers are the savings accounts and the sight deposits. Although these deposits may be withdrawn on demand, the number of accounts and type of depositors ensure that unexpected significant fluctuations are limited. Therefore, these deposits constitute a significant factor of stability of the deposit base.
The customer term deposits and bonds for investment purposes issued by the Group companies usually consist of customer deposits for a certain period and customer repurchase agreements (repos), whereas the bonds issued by the Group companies are disposed through outright sale. Customers have the ability of early withdrawal of deposits or early liquidation of bonds which may result in potential need of finding alternative liquidity in case of extensive outflows.
For this purpose and for the general safety of customer deposits, the Bank takes care for the existence of adequate liquidity surpluses which are calculated based on stress testing exercises due to loss of liquidity or the existence of sufficient credit lines of financial instruments as shown below.
The Bank's constant aspiration is to cooperate with international investors who may offer medium term financing through purchase of securities issued by the Group companies. For this purpose, the Bank retains special financing programs appealing to international investors and provides adequate coverage of credit needs through international capital markets by planning asset level needs on an annual basis. However, the Bank acknowledges that the demand of these bonds may not be enough to fully meet the needs in specific time intervals as a result of factors which concern the credit assessment in the domestic and international economic environment.
An alternative way of Bank funding is the liquidity from financial instruments of the Central Banks- Euro system and especially from the European Central Bank (ECB). This funding regards loan granted with pledge of assets according to instructions and the eligible assets determined by the ECB. During the last years this additional source funding has become a major financial instrument by hedging the inadequate or loss of basic forms of Bank funding. Furthermore, under the period on which Greece is under the restructuring program of economy and fiscal improvement of financial figures and simultaneously servicing financing needs of the network of institutions that have the supervision of the program, the Bank can use available assets in order to increase liquidity from the Euro system to cover any financing gap. The Bank recognizes the short-term nature of this liquidity source and pursues gradually to release, if circumstances allow. However, for as long as the country is experiencing financial and economic crisis, the Bank ensures the smooth financing from these financial instruments which may be either conventional marginal lending from the ECB (MRO), or Emergent Liquidity Assistance from Bank of Greece (ELA) has ceased since February 2019. The Bank ensures the adequacy of collateral required in order to serve the financing from the above financial instruments, while recognizing both the type and the amount of financing that is under the discretion of the Euro system.
The announcements of the European Central Bank, on the dates 7.4.2020, 22.4.2020 and 10.12.2020, regarding a broad set of policy measures, in order to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic, are still in force. Among these measures was the waiver to accept Greek sovereign debt instruments as collateral in Eurosystem credit operations. Greek Treasury Bills and Greek Government Bonds, are eligible to be used as collateral for ECB financing, even though they do not meet minimum ECB rating requirements. According to ECB, these measures recognize the recent progress achieved by the Greek Economy from the economic fallout of the pandemic, and helps funding access across the euro area.
Already from 24.6.2020, the Bank participated in the TLTRO III program which provides long-term financing with a conventional negative interest rate -0.5%. It is noted that the financing rate of this program can be set at -1% for the period from June 2020 to June 2022, provided that specific goals have achieved, regarding the amount of the Bank's loans granted for individual periods. In particular:
Moreover, following the announcement of 10.12.2020, three additional dates for participation in this program were added (June, September and December 2021) and the borrowing allowance under TLTRO III was increased from 50% to 55% of eligible loans.
European System funding amounted to € 12.9 billion on 31.12.2021, derived exclusively from the Targeted longer-term refinancing operations (TLTRO-III). Through the financing of this program, the Bank managed to extend the time horizon of its financing into long-term loans as well as to improve the pricing conditions in relation to the repurchase agreements, which in 2021 decreased by 0.25 billion
According to the Liquidity Gap Analysis, the cash flows arising from balance sheet items are calculated and classified into time periods in accordance with the contractual maturity date or an estimated date based on a statistical analysis (convention). An exception to the above, are the securities portfolios, which can contribute directly to raise liquidity, and they are allocated in the first period under the condition they have not been used to raise liquidity either by the Central Bank or through interbank repos.

The above tables set out the fair values and carrying amounts of those financial assets that are not measured at fair value classified by fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is estimated using the discounting cash flow models for the discounting of the contractual cash flows to maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium and the expected loss rate. For the loans that for credit risk purposes are classified as impaired and are individually assessed for impairment, the model uses the expected future cash flows excluding expected credit losses. For the fair valuation of the impaired loans which are collectively assessed for impairment, estimates are made for principal repayment after taking into account the allowance for expected credit losses.
The interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium serve as the discount rate for the impaired loans.
The fair value of deposits is estimated based on the interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium until their maturity.
Level 1 includes securities and debt securities in issue that are traded in active markets.
Level 2 includes securities and debt securities in issue, the fair value of which, is determined based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or through the use of discounted cash flow methodologies such (income approach) using interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.
Level 3 includes the Group's liabilities to the Special Purpose Entities, related to securitized loans. The fair value of these liabilities was calculated by discounting future cash flows taking into account non-observable market data.
The fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost and include mainly due from banks and central banks as well as due to banks, does not differ materially from their respective carrying amount.

The above tables present the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments measured at fair value by the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurement is categorized.
Level 1 includes securities which are traded in an active market and exchange-traded derivatives.
Level 2 includes securities whose fair value is calculated based on non-binding market prices provided by dealers-brokers or securities whose fair value is estimated based the income approach methodology with the use of interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.
Level 3 includes securities whose fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.
Relating to impact of Covid-19, it is noted that the Group, following the relevant measures taken by the Central Banks and the member states as well as the consequent normalization of the financial markets and capital markets, did not consider that it was appropriate to change in the methodology for calculating fair values of securities and derivatives as at 31.12.2021.
The valuation methodology of securities is subject to approval by the Treasury and Balance Sheet Management / Assets Liabilities Management Committees. It is noted that specifically for securities whose fair value is calculated based on market prices, bid prices are considered and daily checks are performed with regards to their change in fair value.
The fair value of loans measured at fair value through profit or loss, is estimated based on the valuation methodology as described above regarding the disclosure of fair value estimation for loans measured at amortized cost.
Shares whose fair value is estimated are classified to Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the extent of the contribution of unobservable data to the calculation of the final fair value. The fair value of non-listed shares, as well as shares not traded in an active market is determined either based on the Group's share on the issuer's equity or by the multiples valuation method or the estimations made by the Group regarding the future profitability of the issuer taking into account the expected growth rate of its operations, as well as the weighted average rate of capital return which is used as discount rate.
For the valuation of over the counter derivatives income approach methodologies are used: discounted cash flow models, option-pricing models or other widely accepted financial valuation models.
The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives is subject to approval by the Treasury and Balance Sheet Management / Assets Liabilities Management Committees. Mid prices are considered as both long and short positions may be open. Valuations are checked on a daily basis with the respective prices of the counterparty banks in the context of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non-observable inputs are significant, the fair value that arises is classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2. We note that the reference rate in the discount rate of interest rate derivatives in euro (interest rate swaps) that are cleared centrally, changed from Euro overnight index average (EONIA) to Euro short term rate (€ STR). Due to the change in valuation methodology the fair value of the derivatives was changed and at the same time a compensation amounting to € 2,933 (31.12.2021 € 745) was collected and recognized in gains less losses on financial transactions, so that there is no transfer of value between the two parties. The change in the discount curve has no effect on the Group's results.
In addition, the Group calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to take into account the counterparty credit risk for the OTC derivatives. In particular, taking into consideration its own credit risk, the Group calculates the bilateral credit valuation adjustment (Bilateral CVA/BCVA) for the OTC derivatives held on a counterparty level according to netting and collateral agreements in force. BCVA is calculated across all counterparties with a material effect on the respective derivative fair values taking into consideration the default probability of both the counterparty and Group, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of Group and the specific characteristics of netting and collateral agreements in force.
Collaterals are simulated along with the derivative portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. Calculations performed depend largely on observable market data. Market quoted counterparty and Bank's CDS spreads are used in order to derive the respective probability of default, a market standard recovery rate is assumed for developed market counterparties, correlations between market data are taken into account and subsequently a series of simulations is performed to model the portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. In the absence of observable market data, the counterparty probability of default and loss given default are determined using the Group's internal models for credit rating and collateral valuation. BCVA model is validated from an independent division of the Group according to best practices.
A breakdown of BCVA per counterparty sector and credit quality, as defined for the presentation purposes of the table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage" is given below:

The Group recognizes the transfer between fair value hierarchy Levels at the end of each reporting period.
During the year, corporate bonds of Greek issuers were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 in the total amount of € 51,864 due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.
Within the previous year, corporate bonds of Greek issuers were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 in the total amount of € 49,166 due to the formation of the liquidity margin (bid-ask spread) outside the limit set for the classification of the market as active.

The Group in its ordinary course of business, transfers financial assets. In cases that, despite the fact that the contractual right to receive cash flows has been transferred, the risks and rewards remain with the Group, these assets continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.
On 31.12.2021 the financial assets that have not been derecognized, despite the contractual transfer of their cash flows, derive from the following categories:
The Bank has securitized corporate, shipping and retail loans and credit card loans and Alpha Leasing S.A. has securitized leasing loans in order to draw liquidity. In the context of these transactions, these assets have been transferred to special purpose entities fully consolidated by the Group which have issued bonds. The securitized financial assets continue to be recognized in loans and advances to customers as the Group retains all risks and reward associated with them. This is justified by several factors, which include the full consolidation of the special purpose entities, retention of the notes issued and the right to receive the deferred consideration from the transfer. As a result of the holding of the notes by the Group, there is substantially no liability associated with the transfer. The book value of the securitized receivables at 31.12.2021 amount to € 1,398,364 (31.12.2020 € 1,525,876).
In addition in 2021, two of the securitisations of Alpha Bank S.A. before the hive down, was revoked and the notes were repaid, i.e. the securitization of a bond loan through the special purpose entity Alpha Quantum DAC (revoked on 19/3/2021) and the securitization of retail loans through the special purpose entity Katanalotika Plc (revoked on 17/6/2021). For the time that the above mentioned securisations were in place the special purpose entities were fully consolidated in the Group and the securitization loans were recognized in loans and advances to customers as the Group retained all risks and rewards associated with them through the holding of the issued notes and/or the right to the deferred consideration. On 31.12.2020 the book value of the loans securitized through Katanalotika Plc amounted to € 493,145 and the loans securitized through Alpha Quantum Dac to € 275,096, while there was substantially no liability associated with these transfers as the total of the notes issued were retained by the Group.
In addition, Alpha Bank S.A. before the hive down proceeded on 30.4.2020 with a securitization of non-performing retail and business loans which were transferred to the fully consolidated special purpose entities Orion X Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC, Galaxy III Funding DAC and Galaxy IV Funding DAC, established in Ireland. Initially, due to the ownership of the notes issued by the entities the Group retained the risks and reward of the securitized loans and continued to recognize them on its balance sheet. On 18.6.2021 the Group sold 51% of the senior and mezzanine notes issued by Orion Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC and Galaxy IV Funding DAC, which led to the derecognition of the respective loan portfolios from the financial statements of the Group since the control was lost. The carrying amount of the securitized loan portfolio of Galaxy III Funding DAC which continues to be recognized by the Group at 31.12.20201 amounts to € 52,959 and due to the ownership of the notes there is no associated liability. Ον 31.12.2 2020 the book value of the loans securitized through the four special purpose entities amounted to € 6,148,287 and there was no associated liability.
Finally, on 28.6.2021 the Bank securitized non performing loans which were transferred to the special purpose entity "Gemini Core Securitisation DAC" based in Ireland and established for this purpose, which in turn issued notes. The loans continue to be recognized on financial statements of the Group since the Group retains all risks and rewards due to the ownership of the notes issued by the special purpose entity. The book value of these loans at 31.12.2021 amounts to € 4,526,627, and there is practically no liability from the transfer.

As of January 2022, the London Interbank Interest Rate (LIBOR), one of the main and most important interest rate benchmarks used in global financial markets, has been abolished or ceased to be representative. Specific LIBORs indexes in English pounds (GBP) and Japanese Yen (JPY) benchmarks, following instructions from the UK Financial Conduct Authority, will continue to be published using a different calculation methodology known as "Synthetic", for a limited period of time, in order to facilitate the transition. In addition, the continuation of some specific durations of LIBORs benchmarks in US Dollar (USD) until June 30, 2023 has the sole purpose of supporting the transition of existing products (legacy products).
The Group took all the necessary measures for the timely preparation of the transition to the new alternative reference rates. More specifically, it proceeded with the following actions:
Indicatively, the main actions that took place are mentioned:
On August 27, 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board amended IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 in the context of the 2nd phase of the project to address the accounting issues that arise due to the interest rate reform. These amendments are effective from 1.1.2021 and the basic powers they provide are as follows:
The adoption of the above amendments did not have an impact on the Group's financial statements as on the one hand the Bank makes use of the option provided regarding changes in contractual cash flows, and on the other hand the hedging instruments used in hedging relationships have Euribor as the reference interest rate that remains in force and is not replaced by any alternative interest rate.

Alpha Bank Group closely monitors the effects of the conflict and the ensuing sanctions to assess the medium-term effects on the country, its customers and its financial system. At household level, disposable income is expected to be affected by inflationary pressures due to the overall increase in energy prices which will consequently lead to an increase in the cost of producing consumer goods.
Regarding the readiness and ability of Alpha Bank Group to apply sanctions, the terms of the restrictive measures vary in terms of their classification depending on the type of transaction / range, currency, country, Banks, customers, and Organization that imposes them. The responsible Divisions of the Group are to proceed with the adjustment of the operating procedures in a short period of time, for the Group to fully comply with the relevant obligations and instructions. In addition, after examining the list of suppliers and the active contracts of the Bank, there is no dependence on the part of the supplier with any company from the countries directly involved in the conflict.
Alpha Bank Group implements a strong Cyber Risk mitigation program based on International Standards. Additional measures are in place to effectively monitor and respond to potential cyber-risk incidents.
As the Russia / Ukraine conflict continues to evolve, any impact assessment is premature. However, the Group has an established and robust "Unlikeness to Pay (UTP)" process for assessing borrowers' viability and long-term ability to repay. The UTP process takes place during the periodic review of the existing limits, upon request for new lending, upon extraordinary requests, upon notification of the Wholesale Banking Credit Board or when considering a request for modification and the corresponding implementation for Retail Banking. The UTP process in combination with the mechanism of the Early Warning System that exists, ensure the timely detection of events by the Bank / Group, at the level of the borrower (legal entities and individuals) and the portfolio, as well as the relevant actions to be taken to manage of these borrowers.
Alpha Bank Romania has a very limited exposure in the respective region. From a transactional point of view, Alpha Bank Romania has no correspondent banking relationship with entities in Russia or Ukraine. Payment flows (incoming and outgoing) are not substantial, representing 0.37% of the total number of payments and 0.96% of the total volume of payments. The total deposits amount to €1.83 million, representing approximately 0.10% of the bank's deposit base. In terms of credit risk exposure, the total amount is about €13.14 million, which represents 0.48% of Bank's loan portfolio.
The Cypriot economy will be affected to a moderate to marginally significant degree, as:
The level of impact of the Russia / Ukraine conflict depends on the level of escalation and duration of the conflict as well as the degree of the international response to resolving it.
Alpha Bank Cyprus's exposure to Russian / Ukrainian borrowers is not considered significant (€6.7 million after Project Sky).
Alpha Bank London is not active in the area, so the Russia / Ukraine conflict is not expected to have a direct impact.
Alpha Bank Albania has very limited exposure in the area, which is "held for sale", so the Russia / Ukraine conflict has no direct impact.

The policy of the Group is to maintain strong capital ratios and ample buffers over requirements in order to ensure the delivery of Alpha Bank's strategy and the development and trust of depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners.
Share capital increases are conducted following resolutions of the General Meeting of Shareholders of Board of Directors, in accordance with articles of incorporation or relevant laws.
For the period that the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund (HFSF) participates in the Share Capital of the Bank, the purchase of own shares is not allowed without its approval, according to the Relationship Framework Agreement (RFA) which has been signed between the Bank and the HFSF.
The Capital Adequacy ratio compares the Group's regulatory capital with the risks that it undertakes (Risk Weighted Assets - RWAs). Regulatory capital includes Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital (share capital, reserves, minority interests), additional Tier 1 capital (hybrid securities) and Tier 2 capital (subordinated debt). RWAs include the credit risk of the investment portfolio (including counterparty risk and credit valuation adjustment), the market risk of the trading book and the operational risk.
Alpha Bank, as a systemic bank, and consequently it's parent company Alpha Services and Holdings S.A., is supervised by the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) of the European Central Bank (ECB),to which reports are submitted every quarter. The supervision is conducted in accordance with the European Regulation 575/2013 (CRR) as amended, inter alia, by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council ("CRR 2"), and the relevant European Directive 2013/36 (CRD IV), which was incorporated into the Greek Law through the Law 4261/2014 and was amended, inter alia, by Directive 2019/878 (CRD V) and incorporated into national law by Law 4799/2021.
For the calculation of capital adequacy ratio the above regulatory framework is followed. In addition:
These limits should be met both on a standalone and on consolidated basis.
The following table presents the capital adequacy ratios of the Group:
| 31.12.2021 | 31.12.2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Common Equity Tier I Ratio | 13.2% | 17.3% |
| Tier I Ratio | 13.2% | 17.3% |
| Capital Adequacy Ratio* | 16.1% | 18.4% |
On 28 December 2020, the ECB informed Alpha Bank (before hive down) that since 31st January 2021 the minimum limit for the Overall Capital Requirement (OCR) remains unchanged from 2020 at 14%. On February 2, 2022, the ECB informed Alpha Services and Holdings SA. that from March 2022 the minimum limit of the consolidated Overall Capital Requirements (OCR) is increased to 14.25%. The OCR consists of the minimum threshold of the Total Equity Ratio (8%), in accordance with Article 92 (1) of the CRR, the additional supervisory requirements for Pillar II (P2R) in accordance with Article 16 (2) (a) of Regulation 1024/2013 / EU, which amount to 3.0%, as well as the combined security requirements (CBR), in accordance with Article 128 (6) of Directive 2013/36 / EU, which amount to 3, 25% in 2022 due to the increase of the security stock of systemically important institutions (O-SII buffer) by 0.25%. The minimum rate should be observed on an ongoing basis, considering the CRR / CRD IV Transitional Provisions.
* Supervisory disclosures regarding capital adequacy and risk management in accordance with Regulation 575/2013 (Pillar III) will be published on the Bank's website.
As part of management strategy during 2021, Alpha Services and Holdings Societe Anonyme has successfully completed:
As per the announced regulatory measures by European Banking Authority (EBA) and ECB, in view of the Covid-19 outbreak, decided that European banking institutions can temporarily deviate from the minimum capital regulatory thresholds.
Both ECB and SSM took measures, to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, in order for them to continue finance the economy and fulfil their role.
Specifically, on 12 March 2020, the ECB and the EBA announced the following relaxation measures for the minimum capital requirements for Banks in the Eurozone:
The European Commission decided to revise the existing regulatory framework by bringing forward regulations that would normally come with the CRR2/CRDV framework as well as provide a greater flexibility to the phase-in of the impact of the IFRS 9 on capital. The revised framework was published in the Official Journal of the European Union as of June 22, 2020.
On June 26, 2020, the Bank of Greece, in an Act of the Executive Committee (RIP), set the security reserve of systemically significant institutions (O-SII) at 0.50%, maintaining the stable for 2021 and extending the existing period of gradual adjustment. The third and fourth phases are transferred by 12 Months respectively, with effect from 1 January 2022 and 1 January 2023. This decision is part of the Covid-19 Pandemic Tree Response.

Following the postponement of the 2020 Extreme Simulation Exercise due to the outbreak of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) and its worldwide spread, the European Banking Authority (EBA) has launched the 2021 Extreme Stimulation Exercise (EUwide Stress Test) on January 29, 2021.
The Extreme Statement Simulation Exercise was carried out based on the hypothesis for static balance sheets, under the basic and adverse macroeconomic assumptions scenario, over a period of three years (2020-2023). The result of the Exercise feeds the overall Supervisory Evaluation Process of the Bank.

The results were published on July 30, 2021 and according to them Alpha Services and Participations SA (Group) successfully completed the EU-wide Stress Test 2021. More specifically:

In May 2021 the Strategic Plan of the Group was presented, which includes a number of strategic initiatives which are expected to affect the future financial results of the Group until 2024 and which include specific financial targets. These initiatives aim to the participation in the expected credit expansion of the Greek banking sector which is expected to be achieved through the financing of the Recovery and Resilience Facility as well.
These initiatives are as follows:
• Targeted reduction of non-performing exposures through a series of transactions of mainly non-performing exposures of a total book value up to € 8.1 billion for the Group with the intention to decrease the exposure of the Group in non-performing exposures by € 19.8 billion until 2024 (compared to the year end of 2020, including the effect of Galaxy securitization) and to allow the Group to achieve a single digit NPE ratio in the first semester of 2022 and target to an NPE ratio of 2% until the end of 2024.
For the majority of the above transactions the sale process has either completed or relevant binding agreements are signed. More specifically the transactions completed (or with binding agreements signed) are:
a) Sale of a securitized loan portfolio of up to € 3.4 billion. This relates to project Cosmos for which an application for the
inclusion of the securitization in the state guarantees scheme "Haps ΙΙ" had been submitted and the relevant Ministerial Decision has been issued for the inclusion in the program (note 48).
b) Sale of a portfolio of non-performing exposures in Cyprus of a total book value of € 2.2 billion before allowance for expected credit losses (project Sky). The transaction also includes real estate properties of a book value of € 113.20 million (Note 48).
c) Sale of a non performing unsecured loan portfolio in Greece of a total book value of € 1.2 billion. It concerns the project Orbit (note 48).
Impact on the provisions for impairment of loans of the above transactions for the Group amounted to € 1.016 million and comprises € 284 million for project Cosmos, € 457 million for project SKY project and € 275 million for project Orbit.
For transactions with a total value of € 0.7 billion before allowance for expected credit losses relating to transactions for the sale of non-performing wholesale and leasing exposures for which the Group has initiated the sale procedures, additional provisions of € 22 million were recognized through the incorporation of a sales scenario in the calculation of expected credit losses (note 11).
For the remaining sale transactions included in the Strategic Plan with a total value before impairment of approximately € 0.7 billion, the Group did not use the probability of a sale scenario in the calculation of the expected credit losses as the Management does not have reasonable and sound assumptions to base their realization.
For the loan portfolios that on 31.12.2021 a sale scenario has been taken into account with a probability of less than 100% as well as for those portfolios for which a sale scenario has not been incorporated as the Management does not have reasonable and valid assumptions to base this assessment, the total impact from the calculation of the expected credit risk losses based on the estimated selling prices is estimated at approximately € 250 million.
It is noted that on 31.12.2021 these portfolios were not classified as held for sale as the relevant sale transactions are still at an early stage and therefore at this stage cannot be reliably estimated the possibility of their completion within the next 12 months.
In addition to the above the Strategic plan also includes the following projects:
The successful completion of the above capital initiatives will contribute to the increase of the capital adequacy of the Group.


During 2021 the following have been completed:
the United Kingdom and others affected the transactions with the parties involved in the sanctions. It is noted that the Group has direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine from loans to customers of circa € 43 million. The Group is monitoring the unfolding crisis and assesses the impact on its business, financial position and profitability. Since high uncertainty exists as to how the situation will develop, it isn't possible currently to assess the broader implications of the crisis. Additional information for the evaluation of the impact are included in note 43.8 "Assessment of the impact of the crisis in Russia and Ukrain and related sanctions".

On 16 April 2021, the demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector of Alpha Bank S.A. (the "Demerged") was completed and its core banking operations were contributed into a new company – credit institution which was registered under G.E.M.I. on the same date under the name "Alpha Bank S.A." (the "Beneficiary"). Specifically, Alpha Bank S.A. substituted the Demerged as universal successor, in all of its assets and liabilities within the banking business sector transferred to it, as these are included in the Transformation balance sheet of 30.6.2020 and were formed until 16.4.2021, the completion date of the demerger.
The "Demerged" by assuming the 100% of the issued shares of Alpha Bank S.A., becomes the parent entity of the bank and its subsidiaries (Alpha Bank Group).
On 19.4.2021 the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the "Demerged" was approved, by virtue of the decision of the Ministry of Development and Investments number 45898/19.4.2021, and the banking license of the Demerged was revoked, while its corporate name changed to "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A."
As a result of the above it is noted that in the notes to the Financial Statements "Alpha Bank" (the "Demerged") and "Alpha Services and Holdings S.A." will be mentioned as "the Company", while "Alpha Bank S.A." after the demerger will lbe mentioned as "the Bank".
The Company's business scope is:
100% of rights of the Financial Stability Fund was retained after the completion of the Demerger.

The financial statements as at 31.12.2021 have been prepared based on the going concern principle.

For the application of this principle, the Board of Directors considered current economic developments and made estimates for the formation, in the near future, of the economic environment in which it operates. In this context, the Board of Directors assessed the following areas which are considered important during its assessment:
In early 2020, the emergence and rapid spread of the Covid-19 pandemic overturned the growth prospects of the global and the Greek economy. Many governments, in an effort to boost the resilience of their national economies, have taken to an unprecedented extent emergency fiscal measure to support national health systems and ensure employment and entrepreneurship. The fiscal support policy that the government has followed mitigated, in part, the adverse effects of the recession that reached 9% on an annual basis in 2020. The swift and strong recovery of economic activity in the first nine months of 2021 recouped a significant part of the losses registered because of the recession of the previous year, as GDP at constant prices increased by 8.3% on an annual basis based on the adjusted criteria.
The steep rebound of GDP in 2021 can be attributed, firstly, to the private consumption, which increased by 7.8%, on an annual basis, contributing by 5.5 points on GDP growth and which was driven by the sharp increase in savings and the rise in employment. Investments have marked the second greater positive contribution to the GDP increase in 2021 (2.3 percentage points), as they increased by 19.6%, which amongst individual categories was mainly attributed to the rise of investment in machinery and technological equipment (+34.5% on an annual basis). The good performance of exports of services, and especially the remarkable recovery of tourism in 2021, have resulted in the positive contribution of net exports to the GDP increase, by 0.9 percentage points. Finally, public consumption has increased by 3.7% in 2021, in comparison to 2020, contributing to GDP increase by 0.8 percentage points, as a result of fiscal interventions addressing the negative impacts of the pandemic, as well as other fiscal support measures for the strengthening of households and businesses, which include, amongst others, the provision of subsidies for heating, electricity and petroleum. On the contrary, inventories have significantly decreased, during the previous year, deducting 1.1 percentage points from the GDP rise.
Some particularly favorable indications that the recovery of the Greek economy will be strong are the following: first, conditions for the change of the composition of the economic growth are put in place, which is expected to derive mainly from investment expenditure. The increase of investment in the short-term will be determined by the evolution of the country's sovereign credit rating towards the so-called "investment grade", the disbursement of funds in the context of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as well as the implementation of structural reforms that will establish a business-friendly environment. The RRF funding can be demonstrated a stable basis for a strong continued growth of the Greek economy and is expected to mobilize new investments and sustainable growth rates. The funds, according to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), are expected to mobilize new investments of around EUR 57.5 billion in 2021-2026, covering to a large extent the investment gap that was created in Greece in the previous decade. Secondly, in the estimation for new increase of tourist arrivals and proceeds from tourism, the significant recovery of turnover of businesses and finally, the gradual stabilisation of the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI).
Despite the positive expectations, the challenges and uncertainties are retained with regards to the evolution of the disease Covid-19 and its mutations, as well as the potential impacts of permanent nature in productivity, employment, behavior of households, resilience of businesses and risks of financing the economically weak economies. In addition, inflation, as measured by the harmonized index of consumer prices, has increased the second half of 2021 primarily due to the rising energy prices globally, the supply chains disruptions and shortages of raw materials. In December 2021 the harmonized index of consumer prices increased by 4.4%, compared to -2.4% in the respective month of 2020, while the average ratio increased in 2021 by 0.6% compared to the previous year. In 2022, the harmonized index is expected to amount to 3.1% according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (World Economic Outlook, December 2021) and to 3% according to the European Central Bank (Eurosystem staff macroeconomic projections for the euro area countries, December 2021).
Finally, the economic implications of the full-scale invasion from Russia to Ukraine at the beginning of the year, as well as the
sanctions against Russia, are basically related with a longer period of inflation tensions in Eurozone. These tensions are fueled by gas, oil and food prices which are expected to remain high over the medium term, as well as from increased uncertainty from the disruption in financial markets. As a result, the impact of high energy prices on households' real incomes as well as on industries supply lines is expected to weaken the increase in private consumption. Consequently, the three basic channels through which it is expected that the geopolitical developments will affect the Greek economy are the energy prices, tourism and a potential disruption of financial markets. The potential economic or non-economic impact of these conditions on the Group depends on the manner that the crisis is going to unfold. This crisis and its impact on the domestic and global economic conditions could affect the capacity of the Group to generate income or satisfy financial targets, increase expenses, or result in higher expected credit losses. Given the uncertainty that exists it is not possible to estimate with reliance the future economic impact.
Regarding the liquidity levels of the Group, it is noted that there was no adverse change due to Covid-19 in terms of the ability to draw liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and from repos interbank transactions (with or without collateral). The Bank made use of the TLTRO III program of the European Central Bank and ensured long-term liquidity with very low interest rates. In this context, the total financing from the European Central Bank on 31.12.2021 amounts to € 12.9 billion. In addition, in order to reinforce its liquidity, the Bank issued on 16.9.2021 a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 500 mil., with a 6.5 year maturity, callable in year 5.5 with a coupon of 2.5% and a yield of 2.625%, while, additionally on 10.12.2021 the Bank issued a senior preferred bond, amounting to € 400 mil, with a 2-year maturity, with a coupon of 3% and callable the first year. In addition, it is important that the European Central Bank, in its decisions in March, April and December 2020, accepted the securities of the Hellenic Republic as collateral for liquidity operations. It is noted that the available eligible collaterals through which the drawing of liquidity from the Eurosystem Mechanisms and / or from third sources is ensured, to the extent required, amounts to € 13 billion as of 31.12.2021. In addition, during the year there was an increase in private sector deposits of € 3.6 billion. As a result of the above, the liquidity ratios (liquidity coverage ratio and net stable funding ratio) exceed the supervisory limits that have been set. In addition, considering the conditions that form the current economic environment, stress test exercises are carried out regularly for liquidity purposes, in order to assess possible outflows (contractual or potential). Based on these exercises, the Group successfully overcomes the liquidity short term stress scenarios (idiosyncratic, systemic and combined), retaining a high liquidity buffer. As a result, based on the Group's plan as well on internal stress tests the Group has sufficient liquidity reserves to meet its needs.
On 31.12.2021, the Common Equity Tier I of the Group stands at 13.2%, while the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio at 16.1%. These levels are significantly higher than the levels set by the European Central Bank. It is also important that due to the spread of Covid-19, the European Central Bank decided to temporarily deviate from the minimum limits of regulatory capital for European Banks at least until the end of 2022. The Bank in order to strengthen its capital proceeded on 4.3.2021 to the issuance of new Tier 2 bond amounting to € 500 mil, with a 10.25-year maturity callable anytime between year 5 and year 5.25 with initial fixed coupon of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, which resets to a new rate effective from the call date until maturity and which is set based on the 5-year swap rate plus a margin 5.823% for the residual maturity. It is also noted that within 2021 the Group recognized significant losses due to the finalization of Galaxy (sale of 80% of Cepal Holding S.A. and of 51% of Mezzanine and Junior securitization notes of Galaxy securitization) and Cosmos (sale of 51% of Mezzanine and Junior securitization notes of Cosmos securitization) transactions, as well as due to the increased impairment losses, which are related to the imminent sales of portfolios of overdue loans. However, given the relief of risk weighted assets from the Galaxy and Cosmos transactions, the Group capital adequacy stood at a level higher that the capital requirement thresholds. In addition, within the third quarter of 2021 the share capital increase of the Company was completed resulting in raising funds of € 800 million. Finally, the Group successfully concluded the 2021 EU-wide Stress Test. The Stress Test was conducted based on a static balance sheet approach under a baseline and an adverse macro scenario with a 3-year forecasting horizon (2020- 2023). Taking into consideration the results of the capital Stress Test and the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), the actions performed within 2021 (share capital increase, Tier 2 issuance, NPE reduction) as well as the actions that aim in the creation of internal capital through profitability, it is estimated that for the next 12 months the Total Capital Adequacy Ratio and the MREL ratio will remain higher than the required minimum levels.
In May 2021 the Bank announced the Updated Strategic Plan which is intended to drive the sustainable development and profitability of the Group. The updated Strategic Plan is based on the following key initiatives:
In addition, in the context of the updated strategic plan, capital measures are taken through the implementation of specific transactions that provide additional capital buffers. For the support of the implementation of the updated strategic plan with regards to the asset growth initiative, the Company has successfully completed a share capital increase, raising new capital of € 800 mil. The Group estimates that the share capital increase ensures from the start the growth capital that is expected to be utilised for this purpose until the end of 2024.
The updated strategic plan aims in aggregate at the reform of the Group's balance sheet and in the mid-term at the increase of return on equity, preserving at the same time the capital position, over the required minimum thresholds that apply.
Based on the above and taking into account:
the Board of Directors estimates that, at least for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the conditions for the application of the going concern principle for the preparation of its financial statements are met.

An entity:
On 25.6.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 17 which aimed to ease implementation of the standard and make it easier for entities to explain their financial performance. Additionally, with the amendment the effective date of the standard was postponed to 1.1.2023.
Finally, it is noted that under the Regulation of the European Union that adopted above standard, an entity may choose not to apply paragraph 22 of the standard, in accordance with which an entity shall not include contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group, to:
(a) groups of insurance contracts with direct participation features and groups of investment contracts with discretionary participation features and with cash flows that affect or are affected by cash flows to policyholders of other contracts;
(b) groups of insurance contracts that are managed across generations of contracts and that meet the conditions laid down in Article 77b of Directive 2009/138/EC and have been approved by supervisory authorities for the application of the matching adjustment.
IFRS 17 does not apply to the financial statements of the Company. However, the application IFRS 17 will have an impact on the second largest subsidiary of the Company which is an insurance company and as a result the Company is examining any impact on the acquisition cost of the subsidiary.

‣ Amendment to International Financial Reporting Standard 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and to International Accounting Standard 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.
On 11.9.2014 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in order to clarify the accounting treatment of a transaction of sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. In particular, IFRS 10 was amended in order to be clarified that in case that as a result of a transaction with an associate or joint venture, a parent (investor) loses control of a subsidiary, which does not constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, it shall recognise to profit or loss only the part of the gain or loss which is related to the unrelated investor's interests in that associate or joint venture. The remaining part of the gain from the transaction shall be eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment in that associate or joint venture. In addition, in case the investor retains an investment in the former subsidiary and the former subsidiary is now an associate or joint venture, it recognises the part of the gain or loss resulting from the remeasurement at fair value of the investment retained in that former subsidiary in its profit or loss only to the extent of the unrelated investor's interests in the new associate or joint venture. The remaining part of the gain is eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment retained in the former subsidiary.
In IAS 28, respectively, it was clarified that the partial recognition of the gains or losses shall be applied only when the involved assets do not constitute a business. Otherwise, the total of the gain or loss shall be recognised.
On 17.12.2015, the International Accounting Standards Board deferred the effective date for the application of the amendment that had been initially determined. The new effective date will be determined by the International Accounting Standards Board at a future date after taking into account the results of its project relating to the equity method.

On 30.1.2014 the International Accounting Standards Board issued IFRS 14. The new standard, which is limited-scope, addresses the accounting treatment and the disclosures required for regulatory deferral accounts that are maintained in accordance with local legislation when an entity provides rate-regulated goods or services. The scope of this standard is limited to first-time adopters that recognized regulatory deferral accounts in their financial statements in accordance with their previous GAAP. IFRS 14 permits these entities to capitalize expenditure that non-rate-regulated entities would recognize as expense.
It is noted that European Union has decided not to launch the endorsement of this standard and to wait for the final standard. The above standard does not apply to the financial statements of the Company.
‣Amendment to International Financial reporting Standard 17: "Insurance Contracts": Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative information
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 9.12.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IFRS 17 according to which entities are permitted on initial application of IFRS 17 to classify financial assets in the comparative period in a way that aligns with how the entity would classify them on IFRS 9 transition. The amendment specifies how this option is applied depending on whether the entity applies IFRS 9 for the first time at the same time as IFRS 17 or whether it has already applied it in a previous period.
The above amendment does not apply to the financial statements of the Company.
‣ Amendment to the International Accounting Standard 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of liabilities as current or non-current
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 23.1.2020, the International Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to IAS 1 relating to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:
The amendments specify that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period are those which will be used to determine if the liability must be classified as current or non-current.
Management expectations about events after the balance sheet date must not be taken into account.
On 15.7.2020 the International Accounting Standards Board extended effective date by one year taking into account the impact of Covid-19.
The Company is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
‣ Amendment to International Accounting Standard 12 "Income Taxes": Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction
Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1.1.2023
On 7.5.2021 the International Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment to IAS 12 with which it narrowed the scope of the recognition exception according to which, in specific circumstances, entities are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendment clarifies that the exception no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The Company is examining the impact from the adoption of the above amendment on its financial statements.
The financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency and the currency of the Company's country of incorporation.
Items included in the financial statements for foreign branches are measured at the functional currency which is the currency of the country of incorporation in which the branch operates or the currency used in the majority of the transactions held.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the closing exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the closing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Foreign exchange differences arising from the translation are recognized in the income statement.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the rate of exchange at the transaction date, except for non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value which are translated at the exchange rate of the date that the fair value is determined.
The exchange differences relating to these items are part of the change in fair value and they are recognized in the income statement or recorded directly in equity depending on the classification of the non-monetary item.
The results and financial position of all foreign branches that have a functional currency that is different from the presentation currency of the Bank's financial statements are translated as follows:
The resulting exchange differences from the above translation and those arising from other monetary items designated as a part of the net investment in a foreign entity are recorded in equity. These translation differences are reclassified to the income statement when a foreign branch is sold.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consists of:
Short-term balances are amounts that mature within three months of the balance sheet date.
Non-restricted placements with Central Banks, short-term balances due from banks and Reverse Repo agreements are measured at amortised cost.
The Company recognises financial assets or financial liabilities in its statement of financial position when it becomes a party to the terms of the contract.
At initial recognition the Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair values. Financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value plus or minus transaction costs and income or fees that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized at the settlement date with the exception of equity shares and derivatives that are recognized at the trade date. For bonds that are measured at fair value, the change in fair value during the period between the trade date and the settlement date is recognized in profit or loss or in other comprehensive income based on the bond's classification category.
The Company classifies its financial assets as:
For each of the above categories the following apply:
In this category are classified the financial assets that satisfy both of the following criteria:
The above category is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and is periodically assessed for expected credit losses, as it is further described in notes 1.2.11 and 1.2.12.
In this category are classified the financial assets that satisfy both of the following criteria:
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
The above category is periodically assessed for expected credit losses, as it is further described in notes 1.2.11 and 1.2.12.
In this category are classified equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination and that Company decides, at initial recognition, to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income. This decision is irrevocable. With the exception of dividends, which are directly recognized in profit or loss, all other gains and losses arising from those instruments are directly recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss. For those equity instruments there is no impairment assessment.
Financial assets included in this category are:
i. those acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term to obtain short term profit (held for trading).
The Company has included in this category bonds, treasury bills and a limited number of shares.
This classification option, which is irrevocable, is used when the designation eliminates an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise from measuring financial assets and liabilities on a different basis (i.e. amortised cost) in relation to another financial asset or liability (i.e. derivatives which are measured at fair value through profit or loss).
As at the reporting date, the Company had not designated, at initial recognition, any financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss.
The business model reflects how the Company manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, the Company's business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The Company's business model is determined at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. Accordingly, business model does not depend on management's intentions for an individual instrument but it is determined on a higher level of aggregation.
The business models of the Company are determined by the Executive Committee (ExCo) which decides on the determination of the business model both for the loans and advances to customers and the securities portfolio. In this context:
The determination of the above business models has been based on:
The Company, at each reporting date, reassesses its business models in order to confirm that there has been no change compared to the prior period or application of a new business model. In the context of the reassessment of the hold to collect business model past sales as well as expected future sales are taken into account. In this assessment, the following cases of sales are considered consistent with a hold to collect business model:
For bonds portfolio, sales deemed insignificant are those that sum up to 5% of the current total portfolio size or the portfolio of the last quarterly reporting period, whichever is higher.
In addition, for bond portfolio the following sales are considered consistent with a hold to collect business model:
For the purposes of applying the SPPI assessment:
Contractual terms that introduce exposure to risks and volatility in the contractual cash flows that are not related to a basic lending arrangement, such as exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
In this context, in assessing whether contractual cash flows are SPPI, the Company assesses whether the instrument contain contractual terms that change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows. More specifically, the following are taken into account:
Interest-free deferred payments
Terms based on which the performance of the instruments is affected by equity or commodity prices
Especially in the case of financing of a special purpose vehicle, in order for the loan to meet the criterion that its cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, among other, at least one of the following conditions should apply:
In addition, in determining whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, it is assessed whether time value of money element has been modified. Time value of money is the element of interest that provides consideration for only the passage of time. That is, the time value of money element does not provide consideration for other risks or costs associated with holding the financial asset. However, in some cases, the time value of money element may be modified. That would be the case, for example, if a financial asset's interest rate is periodically reset but the frequency of that reset does not match the tenor of the interest rate or if a financial asset's interest rate is periodically reset to an average of particular short- and long-term interest rates. In such cases, the Company assesses the modification to determine whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The objective of the assessment is to determine how different the contractual (undiscounted) cash flows could be from the (undiscounted) cash flows that would arise if the time value of money element was not modified (benchmark test). The effect of the modified time value of money element must be considered in each reporting period and cumulatively over the life of the instrument. If the Company concludes that the contractual (undiscounted) cash flows could be significantly different from the (undiscounted) benchmark cash flows, the contractual cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. According to the policy set by the Company, the above assessment test does not result in significant different contractual cash flows when the cumulative difference over the life of the instrument does not exceed 10% and at the same time the number of individual cash flows with a difference of more than 10% do not exceed 5% of total reporting periods of the asset until maturity.
Reclassifications of financial assets between measurement categories occur when, and only when, the Company changes its business model for managing the assets. In this case the reclassification is applied prospectively. Changes in the business model of the Company are expected to be rare. They arise from decisions of the Executive Committee (ExCo) as a result of external or internal changes which must be significant to the entity's operations and demonstrable to external parties.
If the Company reclassifies a financial asset out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category, its fair value is measured at the reclassification date. Any gain or loss arising from a difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognized in profit or loss. The same happens if the Company reclassifies a financial asset out of the amortised cost measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category, however in this case the difference between the previous amortised cost of the financial asset and fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income. The effective interest rate and the measurement of expected credit losses are not adjusted as a result of the reclassification. However, the loss allowance would be derecognized (and thus would no longer be recognized as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount) but instead would be recognized as an accumulated impairment amount in other comprehensive income.
If the Company reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss measurement category and into the amortised cost measurement category, its fair value at the reclassification date becomes its new gross carrying amount. At this date, the effective interest rate of the asset is calculated while the date of the reclassification is treated as the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes.
If the Company reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss measurement category and into the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. As in the above case, at this date, the effective interest rate of the asset is calculated while the date of the reclassification is treated as the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes.
Ιf a financial asset is reclassified out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the amortised cost measurement category, the asset is reclassified at its fair value at the measurement date. However, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reversed and adjusted against the fair value of the financial asset at the reclassification date. As a result, the financial asset is measured at the reclassification date as if it had always been measured at amortised cost. This reversal affects other comprehensive income but does not affect profit or loss and therefore is not a reclassification adjustment under IAS 1. The effective interest rate and the calculation of expected credit losses are not affected. However, the loss allowance is recognized as an adjustment to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the reclassification date.
If the Company reclassifies a financial asset out of the fair value through other comprehensive income measurement category and into the fair value through profit or loss measurement category, the financial asset continues to be measured at fair value. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment (in accordance with IAS 1) at the reclassification date.
The Company derecognizes financial assets when:
In the case of transactions where despite the transfer of the contractual right to receive the cash flows from financial assets both the risk and rewards remain with the Company, no derecognition of these financial assets occurs. The amount received by the transfer is recognized as a financial liability. The accounting practices followed by the Company in such transactions are discussed in notes 1.2.19 and 1.2.20.
In the case of transactions, whereby the Company neither retains nor transfers risks and rewards of the financial assets, but retains control over them, the financial assets are recognized to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. If the Company does not retain control of the assets then they are derecognised, and in their position the Company recognizes, distinctively, the assets and liabilities which are created or retained during the transfer. No such transactions occurred upon balance sheet date.
In case of a change in the contractual terms of a financial asset, the change is considered significant and therefore it results in the derecognition of the original financial asset and the recognition of a new one when one of the following criteria is met:
In case of derecognition due to significant modification, the difference between the carrying amount of the original asset and the fair value of the new asset is directly recognized in the Income Statement as specifically mentioned in notes 1.2.24 and
1.2.25. Additionally, in case the original asset was measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss.

In contrast, if the change in contractual cash flows is not significant, the gross carrying amount of the asset is recalculated by discounting new contractual cash flows with the original effective interest rate and the difference compared to the current gross carrying amount is directly recognized in profit or loss (modification gain or loss) in the line item "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". Fees related to the modification adjust the carrying amount of the asset and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial asset through the effective interest method.
The Company classifies financial liabilities in the following categories for measurement purposes:
It is noted that in the above case, the amount of the change in fair value attributable to the Company's credit risk is recognized in other comprehensive income, unless this treatment would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are never transferred to profit or loss.
As at the reporting date, the Company had not designated, at initial recognition, any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss.
The liabilities classified in this category are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Liabilities to credit institutions and customers, debt securities issued by the Company and other loan liabilities are classified in this category.
In cases when financial liabilities included in this category are designated as the hedged item in a hedge relationship, the accounting principles applied are those set out in note 1.2.4.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due in accordance with the agreed terms.

The financial guarantee contracts and the commitments to provide loans at a below market interest rate are initially recognized at fair value, and measured subsequently at the higher of:
In the first case the liability should be equal to the amount received during the transfer while in the second case it should measured in such a way that the net carrying amount of the transferred asset and the associated liability is:
Such contingent consideration is subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities (or part thereof) are derecognized when the contractual obligation is been discharged, cancelled or expires.
When a financial liability is exchanged for another liability with substantially different terms, the exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new one. The same applies in cases of a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor). The terms are considered substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms (including any fees paid net of any fees received), discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
In cases of derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability (or part of the financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the amounts are reported net on the balance sheet, only when the Company has the legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and there is the intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivatives are financial instruments that upon inception have a minimal or zero fair value that subsequently changes in accordance with a particular underlying instrument or indices defined in the contract (foreign exchange, interest rate, index or other variable).
All derivatives are recognized as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative.
Derivatives are entered into for either hedging or trading purposes and they are measured at fair value irrespective of the purpose for which they have been transacted.
The change in the fair value of the interest and currency derivatives, excluding options, is separated into interest, foreign exchange differences and other gains or losses from financial transactions.

In case a derivative is embedded in a financial asset, the embedded derivative is not separated and the hybrid contract is accounted for based on the classification requirements mentioned in note 1.2.3.
In case a derivative is embedded in a host contract, other than a financial asset, the embedded derivative is separated and measured at fair value through profit or loss when the following conditions are met:
Valuation differences arising from derivatives are recognized in Gains less losses on financial transactions except when derivatives participate in hedging relationships in which case the principles for hedge accounting mentioned below apply. When the Company uses derivatives for hedging purposes hedge relationships are formally designated and documented at inception, and effectiveness is monitored on an ongoing basis at each balance sheet date.
Hedge accounting establishes the valuation rules to offset the gain or loss of the fair value of a hedging instrument and a hedged item which would not have been possible if the normal measurement principles were applied. It is noted that the Company has opted to continue to apply the provisions for hedge accounting of IAS 39.
Documentation of the hedging relationship upon inception and of the effectiveness of the hedge on an on-going basis are the basic requirements for the adoption of hedge accounting.
The hedge relationship is documented upon inception and the hedge effectiveness test is carried out upon inception and is repeated at each reporting date.
A hedge is regarded as highly effective only if both of the following conditions are met:
A fair value hedge of a financial instrument offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item in respect of the risks being hedged.
Changes in the fair value of both the hedging instrument and the hedged item, in respect of the specific risk being hedged, are recognized in the income statement.
When the hedging relationship no longer exists, the hedged items continue to be measured based on the classification and valuation principles set out in note 1.2.3. Specifically any adjustment, due to the fair value change of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used, up to the point that the hedging relationship ceases to be effective, is amortised to interest income or expense based on a recalculated effective interest rate, over its remaining life.
A cash flow hedge changes the cash flows of a financial instrument from a variable rate to a fixed rate.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in cash flow hedge reserve, whereas the ineffective portion is recognized in Gains less losses on financial transactions. The accounting treatment of the hedged item does not change.
When the hedging relationship is discontinued, the amount recognized in equity remains there separately until the cash flows or the future transaction occur. When the cash flows or the future transaction occur the following apply:


When a forecasted transaction or the expected cash flows are no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. In particular, the amount that has been recognized in equity, as a result of revoked cash flow hedging relationships for term deposits, is linearly amortised as interest expense in the periods during which the hedged cash flows from the aforementioned term deposits affect profit or loss.
Hedge accounting of net investment in a foreign operation is similar to cash flow hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is reversed and recognized in profit or loss, at the time that the disposal of the foreign operation takes place.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The Company measures the fair value of assets and liabilities traded in active markets based on available quoted market prices. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. Especially, for the measurement of securities, the Company uses a particular range of prices, within the bid-ask spread, in order to characterize the prices as prices of an active market (the difference between bid and ask prices quoted should not exceed 1.5/100 nominal value). Furthermore, if quoted market prices are not available on the measurement date, but they are available during the three last working days of the reporting period and there are quoted prices for 15 working days during the last month of the reporting period and the criteria of the bid-ask spread is met, then the market is considered to be active.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by the use of valuation techniques, appropriate in the circumstances, and for which sufficient data to measure fair value are available, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. If observable inputs are not available, other model inputs are used which are based on estimations and assumptions such as the determination of expected future cash flows, discount rates, probability of counterparty default and prepayments. In all cases, the Company uses the assumptions that "market participants" would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value or for which - fair value is disclosed-, are categorized according to the inputs used to measure their fair value as follows:
In particular, the Company applies the following:
For financial instruments the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition is the transaction price, unless the fair value can be derived by other observable market transactions relating to the same instrument, or by a valuation technique using mainly observable inputs. In these cases, if the fair value differs from the transaction price, the difference is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. In all other cases, fair value is adjusted to defer the difference with the transaction price. After initial recognition, the deferred difference is recognized as a gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor that market participants would take into account when pricing the instrument.
When measuring fair value, the Company takes into consideration the effect of credit risk. Specifically, for derivative contracts, the Company estimates the credit risk of both counterparties (bilateral credit valuation adjustments).
The Company measures fair value for all assets and liabilities separately. Regarding derivative exposures, however, that the Company manages as a group on a counterparty basis and for which it provides information to the key management personnel, the fair value measurement for credit risk is performed based on the net risk exposure per counterparty. Credit valuation adjustments arising from the aforementioned process are allocated to either assets or liabilities, depending on whether the net exposure to the counterparty is long or short respectively.
Furthermore, the fair value of deposit accounts with a demand feature (such as saving deposits) is no less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first date that the amount could be required to be paid.
The principal inputs to the valuation techniques used by the Company are:
The most important category of non financial assets for which fair value is estimated is real estate property.
The process, mainly, followed for the determination of the fair value is summarized below:
To derive the fair value of the real estate property, the valuer chooses among the three following valuation techniques:
Examples of inputs used to determine the fair value of properties and which are analysed to the individual valuations, are the following:

It is noted that the fair value measurement of a property takes into account a market's participant ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in it's highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in it's highest and best use.
This caption includes Company's investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are carried at cost, plus any expenses directly attributable to their acquisition less impairment losses.
Dividends received by the Company from the above investments are recognised in the income statement when the dividend distribution is approved by the appropriate body of the company that the Company has invested in.
In case of absorption of a subsidiary or of a sector that satisfies the definition of a business, the Company applies the provisions of IFRS 3 for business combinations, as described in more detail in note 1.2.1 of the consolidated financial statements as at 31.12.2021.
Corporate reorganizations under the same Group, which are made through the establishment of a new company that absorbs assets and liabilities of another company which satisfy the definition of business under IFRS 3, are not business combinations since the new company does not satisfy the definition of an acquirer. Under the policy applied by the Company, those transactions are accounted for by transferring assets and liabilities at the book values in the books of the company that makes the transfer. Additionally, both in the separate and group financial statements of the new company, information is included from the date of the corporate reorganization. However, in case corporate reorganization is inextricably linked to the transfer of the new company or of the above assets and liabilities to a third party investor, the transfer of the assets and liabilities is accounted for at their fair value at the date of the corporate reorganization.
This caption includes: land, buildings used by the branches or for administrative purposes, additions and improvements of leased property and equipment. It also includes right of use assets in case those assets are used by the Company (the accounting policies applicable to those assets are presented in note 1.2.10).
Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at cost which includes any expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequently, property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure is recognized on the carrying amount of the item when it increases future economic benefit for the Company and it can be measured reliably.
Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is recognized in profit or loss as an expense as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and it is calculated on the asset's cost minus residual value.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Land is not depreciated but is tested for impairment.
The residual value of property and equipment and their useful lives are periodically reviewed and adjusted if necessary at each reporting date.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis to determine whether there is an indication of impairment and if they are impaired the carrying amount is adjusted to its recoverable amount with the difference recorded in profit or loss.
In case of sale of property, plant and equipment as well as when no economic benefits are expected for the Company, the fixed asset is derecognised. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Company includes in this category buildings or portions of buildings together with their respective portion of land that are held for the purpose of long-term lease or for capital appreciation. The Company has also included in this category right of use assets when the Company is an intermediate lessor in an operating lease (the accounting policies applicable to those assets are presented in note 1.2.10).
Investment property is initially recognised at cost which includes any expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.
Subsequently, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditure is recognized on the carrying amount of the item when it increases future economic benefit and can be measured reliably.
All costs for repairs and maintenance are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
The estimated useful lives over which depreciation is calculated using the straight line method are the same as those applied to property, plant and equipment.
Transfers to and from the category of investment property are made when the property meets (or ceases to meet) the definition of investment property and there is evidence of change in its use. In particular, the property is reclassified in "Property, plant and equipment" if the Company decides to use it while it is reclassified in the category of property held for sale if a decision is taken to sell it and if the criteria referred to in paragraph 1.2.15 are met. Conversely, for property not classified within "Investment Property", its lease constitutes a proof of change of use and leads to the reclassification to investment property.
In case of sale of an intangible asset the intangible asset is derecognised, while when no economic benefits are expected for the Company, its value is fully impaired. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Company has included in this caption:
a) Intangible assets which are recognized from business combinations or which are individually acquired. These intangible assets include the value attributed to the acquired customer relationships and to deposit bases. Intangible assets arising from business combinations are initially measured at fair value while those individually acquired are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, they are depreciated, using the straight line method, during their useful life, which has been determined from 6 to 9 years, and are assessed for impairment when there are triggers for impairment.
It is noted that during the year the Company fully impaired intangible assets relating to customer relationships acquired during the acquisition of Citi retail business and subsequent absorption of Citi Wealth Management and credit cards clientele of Citi/ Diners (note 19).
b) Software, which is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Expenditure incurred to maintain software programs is recognized in the income statement as incurred. Software that is considered to be an integral part of hardware (hardware cannot operate without the use of the specific software) is classified in property, plant and equipment.
More specifically, separately acquired software is initially measured at cost which comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable cost of preparing the software for its intended use, including employee benefits or professional fees. Software
acquired as part of a business combination is initially measured at fair value. Both software separately acquired and acquired as part of a business combination is depreciated, using the straight line method, during its useful life which has been set from 2 to 15 years.
Regarding internally generated software, the Company recognizes an intangible asset when it can demonstrate all of the following at the development phase:
Expenditure incurred during the research phase is directly recognized in profit or loss.
Consequently, the cost of an internally generated intangible asset is the sum of expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the above criteria, including employee benefits arising from the generation of the software.
Internally generated software is depreciated during its useful life which has been set from 2 to 15 years.
All intangible assets are assessed for impairment when there are triggers for impairment (note 1.2.13).
No residual value is estimated for intangible assets.
In case of sale of an intangible asset the intangible asset is derecognized, while when no economic benefits are expected for the Company, its value is fully impaired. When selling the asset, the difference between the sale price and its carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Company enters into leases either as a lessee or as a lessor. At inception, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. If the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time for consideration, then the contract is accounted as a lease.
The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. After lease commencement, upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the lessee, the Company, as a lessee, reassesses the lease term. The Company, either as a lessee or lessor, revises the lease term if there is a change in the noncancellable period of a lease.
When the risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee they are classified as finance leases. All other lease agreements are classified as operating leases.
The accounting treatment followed depends on the classification of the lease, which is as follows:
For finance leases where the Company is the lessor the aggregate amount of lease payments is recognized as loans and advances.
The difference between the present value (net investment) of lease payments and the aggregate amount of lease payments is recognized as unearned finance income and is deducted from loans and advances.
The lease rentals received decrease the aggregate amount of lease payments and finance income is recognized on an accrual basis.

The finance lease receivables are subject to the same impairment testing as applied to customer loans and advances as described in note 1.2.11.
When the Company is a lessor of assets under operating leases, the leased asset is recognized and depreciation is charged over its estimated useful life. Income arising from the leased asset is recognized as other income on an accrual basis.
The Company, as a lessee, for all leases recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the commencement of the lease. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the initial lease liability amount, any initial direct costs and an estimate of the obligation for costs to refurbish the asset, less any lease incentives received.
Right-of use assets are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. Right-of-use assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment and if they are impaired the carrying amount is adjusted to its recoverable amount with the difference recorded in profit or loss (note 1.2.13).
For short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less at the commencement date) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (less than 5.000 EUR when new) the Company does not recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability but instead recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date, net of cash lease incentives. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index (such as an inflation index) or a rate and are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. Incremental borrowing rate is determined by using as reference rate Alpha Bank's secured funding rate, as well as its difference from Hellenic Republic government yield curves.
After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest, reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
Right of use assets are included within Property, plant and equipment and the lease liability is included in Other liabilities. In cases where the Company is an intermediate lessor in an operating lease, right of use assets recognized for the head lease are included within Investment property while in case the Company is an intermediate lessor in a finance lease right of use asset, or the part of it which is subleased, is derecognized and a finance lease receivable is recognized.
The Company, at each reporting date, recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on loans and advances to customers not measured at fair value through profit or loss as well as for off-balance sheet exposures (letters of guarantee, letters of credit, undrawn loan commitments).
The loss allowance for loans and off-balance sheet exposures is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the financial asset falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
The Company, with the application of new EBA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2016/07), amended from 1.1.2021 default definition and adopted a new default definition.
For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the exposures are classified into stages as follows:
As an exception to the above, for purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) exposures, lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized. Purchased or originated credit impaired exposures include:
In determining significant increase in credit risk of an exposure since initial recognition and the recognition of lifetime expected credit losses instead of 12 months expected credit losses, the Company assesses, at each reporting date, the risk of default compared to the risk of default at initial recognition for all its performing exposures including those with no delinquencies.
The assessment of the significant increase in credit risk is based on the following:
The measurement of expected credit losses is made as follows:
For present value calculation, original effective interest rate is used as a discount rate. Especially for POCI assets creditadjusted effective interest rate is used.
The Company calculates impairment losses either on a collective (collective assessment) or on an individual basis (individual assessment), taking into account the significance of an exposure or the borrower's limit. In addition, exposures that do not have common credit risk characteristics or for which there are no sufficient historical behavioral data are assessed on an individual basis.
The Company calculates expected credit losses based on the weighted probability of three scenarios. More specifically, the Economic Research Division produces forecasts for the possible evolution of macroeconomic variables that affect the level of expected credit losses of loan portfolios under a baseline and under alternative macroeconomic scenarios and also generates the cumulative probabilities associated with these scenarios.
The mechanism for calculating expected credit loss is based on the following credit risk parameters:
Receivables from customers are derived from the Company's commercial, other than loan, activity. The loss allowance for receivables from customers is measured at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses (there is no stage allocation) based on the simplified approach provided by IFRS 9.
Loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the Balance Sheet as follows:
The amount of expected credit losses for the period is presented in the caption "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". In the same caption the following are also recognized: recoveries from written-off loans measured at amortised cost, modification gains or losses of loans measured at amortised cost, the favourable changes in expected credit losses of POCI assets in case expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses included in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition and loans servicing fees arising from a contract signed in the context of the transfer of the unit that services overdue loans. For servicing fees, this presentation reflects more accurately the nature of these fees taking into account the new model for the servicing of overdue loans as well as the fact that impairment losses on these loans and the impact from the modification of their contractual terms is also presented in the same line item.
The Company proceeds with the write-off of loans and advances to customers when it has no reasonable expectations for


their recovery. In this case, the loss allowance is used against the carrying amount of the financial asset. Write-off is an event of derecognition.
The Company, at each reporting date, recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on due from banks and bonds not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the financial asset falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
Due from banks and bonds are considered impaired when the external rating of the issuer/counterparty is equivalent to default (D). In case there is no external rating, then the instrument is characterized as impaired based on internal rating. If there is also an exposure to the corporate issuer/counterparty to the loan portfolio which has been classified as impaired, the instrument is also characterized as impaired.
For the purposes of calculating expected credit losses, the exposures are classified into stages as follows:
As an exception to the above, for purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) instruments, lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized. An instrument is characterized as purchased or originated credit impaired when:
When a debt security has been purchased at a large discount and does not fall into any of the categories mentioned above, the Company examines the transaction in detail (transaction price, recovery rate, issuer's financial condition at the time of purchase, etc.) in order to determine whether it should be recognised as purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI). Classification in this category requires documentation and approval by the relevant committees of the Company.
The classification into stages for the purpose of expected credit loss measurement is based on the credit rating of rating agencies or, for corporate securities issued by Greek issuers for which there is also an exposure in loan portfolio, on the issuer's internal rating.
The Company defines as low credit risk all investment grade securities, which are classified in Stage 1.
The determination of significant increase in credit risk for non-investment grade securities is based on the following two conditions:
Downgrade in the issuer / counterparty's credit rating on the reporting dates compared to the credit rating on the date of the initial recognition.
Increase in the probability of default of the issuer / counterparty for the 12-month period compared to the corresponding probability of default at initial recognition.
Additionally, the Company monitors the change in the credit spread since initial recognition. A change in credit spread at the reporting date that exceeds a specific threshold compared to the credit margin prevailing at the date of initial recognition is a trigger for reviewing the securities classification stage.
The expected credit loss is the present value of the difference between:
For present value calculation, original effective interest rate is used as a discount rate. Especially for POCI assets creditadjusted effective interest rate is used.
For the calculation of the expected credit loss, the following parameters are used:
Loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the Balance Sheet as follows:
The amount of expected credit losses for the period is presented in the caption "Impairment losses, provisions to cover credit risk and related expenses". The caption includes also the favourable changes in expected credit losses of POCI assets in case expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses included in the estimated cash flows on initial recognition.
The Company assess as at each balance sheet date its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures as well as non-financial assets for impairment, particularly, right of use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and at least annually property, plant and equipment and investment property.
In assessing whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired both external and internal sources of information are considered, of which the following are indicatively mentioned:
In addition, collection of dividends from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures is considered as a possible impairment indicator when investments are tested for impairment at each reporting date.
Specifically for right of use assets, triggers for impairment include:
An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss when the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
Fair value less costs to sell is the amount received from the sale of an asset (less the cost of disposal) in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash –generating unit through their use and not from their disposal.
For the valuation of property, plant and equipment, the calculation of the recoverable amount includes all improvements which render the asset perfectly suitable for its use by the Company. In this way, the market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in it's highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use is taken into account.
Income tax consists of current and deferred tax.
Current tax for a period includes the expected amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current reporting period, based on the tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is the tax that will be paid or for which relief will be obtained in future periods and it is calculated based on the temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their respective carrying amounts in the financial statements.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply when the temporary difference reverses, based on the tax rates (and laws) enacted at the balance sheet date.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.
In addition, deferred tax assets are not recognized from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time it takes place affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Furthermore, regarding investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates and joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Income tax, both current and deferred, is recognized in profit or loss except when it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In such cases, the respective income tax is also recognized in equity.
Non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale.

The above classification is used if the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable. The sale is considered highly probable when it has been decided by the competent bodies of the Management, an active programme to locate a buyer has been initiated, the asset is actively marketed for sale at a price which is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year. Non-current assets that are acquired exclusively with a view to their subsequent disposal are classified as held for sale at the acquisition date when the one-year requirement is met and it is highly probable that the remaining criteria will be met within a short period following the acquisition (usually within three months).
Before their classification as held for sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the respective accounting standard.
Assets held for sale are initially recognised and subsequently remeasured at each balance sheet date at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
Any loss arising from the above measurement is recorded in profit or loss and can be reversed in the future. In this case, the gain from any subsequent increase in fair value less costs to sell cannot exceed the cumulative impairment losses that have been recognized. When the loss relates to a disposal group it is allocated to assets within the disposal group with the exception of specific assets that are not within the scope of IFRS 5. The impairment loss on a disposal group is first allocated to goodwill and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro-rata basis.
Assets in this category are not depreciated.
Gains or losses from the sale of these assets are recognized in the income statement.
Non-current assets held for sale, that the Company subsequently decides either to use or to lease, are reclassified to the categories of property, plant and equipment or investment property respectively. During their reclassification, they are measured at the lower of their recoverable amount and their carrying amount before they were classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation, amortization or revaluation that would have been recognized had the assets not been classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets that the Company intends to sell but are not available for immediate sale or are not expected to be sold within a year are included in Other Assets and are measured at the lower of cost (or carrying amount) and net realizable value in accordance with IAS 2. Net realizable value is considered equal to fair value less cost to sell.
The Company has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.
A defined contribution plan is where the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and the Company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not have sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in current or prior years. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement which is dependent, among others, on years of service and salary on date of retirement and it is guaranteed by the Company.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated, separately for each plan, based on an actuarial valuation performed by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.
The net liability recognized in the financial statements is the present value of the defined benefit obligation (which is the expected future payments required to settle the obligation resulting from employee service in the current and prior periods) less the fair value of plan assets. The amount determined by the above comparison may be negative, an asset. The amount of the asset recognised in the financial statements cannot exceed the total of the present value of any economic benefits available to the Company in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated based on the return of high quality corporate bonds with a corresponding maturity to that of the obligation, or based on the return of government bonds in cases when there is no deep market in corporate bonds.
Interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset), which is recognised in profit or loss, is determined by multiplying the net
defined benefit liability (asset) by the discount rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligation, as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset).
Service cost, which is also recognised in profit or loss, consists of:
Before determining past service cost or a gain or loss on settlement, the Company remeasures the net defined benefit liability (asset) using the current fair value of plan assets and current actuarial assumptions, reflecting the benefits offered under the plan before its amendment, curtailment or settlement.
Past service cost, in particular, is directly recognized to profit or loss at the earliest of the following dates:
Likewise, the Company recognises a gain or loss on the settlement when the settlement occurs.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset) which comprise:
Finally, when the Company decides to terminate the employment before retirement or the employee accepts the Company's offer of benefits in exchange for termination of employment, the liability and the relative expense for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of the following dates:
The granting of share options to the employees, their exact number, the price and the exercise date are decided by the Board of Directors in accordance with Shareholders' Meeting approvals and after taking into account the current legal framework.
The fair value calculated at grant date is recognized during the servicing period and recorded in staff costs when employees offer their services to the Company or increase the acquisition cost of the subsidiary (as a capital contribution) to which the employees offer their services (or the intermediate subsidiary in case the employees offer their services to a subsidiary in which the Company has an indirect interest) with a corresponding increase of a reserve in equity. When there are no vesting conditions, it is considered that services have been received. On the contrary, when there are service vesting conditions the expense or the increase in subsidiary's acquisition cost are recognized as the relative services are received. In case there are conditions that are not vesting conditions, they are taken into account in share options valuation. The amount paid by the beneficiaries of share options on the exercise date increases the share capital of the Company and the reserve in equity from the previously recognized fair value of the exercised options is transferred to share premium. The reserve in equity from the previously recognized fair value of the unexercised options is transferred to retained earnings.
A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.

Provisions are, also, recognized in cases of restructuring plans with which management attempts either to change the subject of a corporate activity or the manner in which it is conducted (e.g. close down business locations). The recognition of provision is accompanied with the relevant, authorized by the Management, program and with the suitable actions of disclosure. A restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those that are both necessarily entailed by the restructurings and not associated with the ongoing activity of the Company.
The amount recognized as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is equal to the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.
Amounts paid for the settlement of an obligation are set against the original provisions for these obligations. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed. Additionally, provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Future events that may affect the amount required to settle the obligation, for which a provision has been recognized, are taken into account when sufficient objective evidence exists that they will occur.
Reimbursements from third parties relating to a portion of or all of the estimated cash outflow are recognized as assets, only when it is virtually certain that they will be received. The amount recognized for the reimbursement does exceed the amount of the provision. The expense recognized in profit or loss relating to the provision is presented net of the amount of the reimbursement.
The Company does not recognize in the statement of financial position contingent liabilities which relate to:
The Company provides disclosures for contingent liabilities taking into consideration their materiality.
The Company enters into purchases of securities under agreements to resell at a certain date in the future at a fixed price (reverse repos). Securities purchased subject to commitments to resell them at future dates are not recognized in the balance sheet.
The amounts paid, including interest accruals, are recognized in loans and advances to either banks or customers. The difference between the purchase price and the resale price is recognized as interest income using effective interest method.
Similarly, securities that are sold under agreements to repurchase (repos) are not derecognized but they continue to be measured in accordance with the accounting policy of the category that they have been classified.
The proceeds from the sale of the securities are reported as liabilities to either banks or customers. The difference between the sales price and the repurchase price is recognized as interest expense using effective interest method.
Securities borrowed by the Company under securities lending agreements are not recognized in the balance sheet except when they have been sold to third parties whereby the liability to deliver the security is recognized and measured at fair value.
The Company securitises financial assets, by transferring these assets to special purpose entities, which in turn issue bonds.
In each securitization of financial assets the Company considers the contractual terms and the economic substance of transactions, in order to decide whether the Company should proceed with the derecognition of the securitized assets, as referred in note 1.2.3.


Financial instruments issued by the Company to obtain funding are classified as equity when, based on the substance of the transaction, the Company does not undertake a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial instruments under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the issuer.
In cases when the Company is required to issue equity instruments in exchange for the funding obtained, the number of equity instruments must be fixed and determined on the initial contract, in order for the obligation to be classified as equity.
Distributions to the holders of equity instruments are directly recognized by debiting the equity of the Company.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from retained earnings.
Share premium includes the difference between the nominal value of the shares and the cost consideration received in the case of a share capital increase.
It also includes the difference between the nominal value of the shares issued and their market value, in cases of exchanges of shares as consideration for the acquisition of a business by the Company.
The cost of acquiring treasury shares is recognized as a reduction of equity. Subsequent gains or losses from the sale of treasury shares, after deducting all direct costs and taxes, are recognized directly in retained earnings.
Dividends are deducted from retained earnings and recorded as a liability in the period that the dividend is approved by the Shareholders' General Meeting.
Distributions of non-cash assets take place at the fair value of the asset distributed. Any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset distributed is directly recognised in profit or loss.
Interest income and expense is recognized in the income statement for all interest bearing financial assets and liabilities.
Interest income and expense is recognised on an accrual basis and measured using the effective interest method with the exception of derivatives as described in detail in note 1.2.4. Especially for POCI assets, interest income is calculated using credit-adjusted effective interest rate.
Effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Company estimates the expected cash flows by considering all the contractual terms of the financial instrument but does not consider the expected credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
For financial assets, in particular, the following apply:
− For those financial assets classified within Stage 1 or Stage 2 for the purpose of expected credit losses measurement, interest income is calculated by applying effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the asset.
In case of negative interest rates, interest is presented within interest income for interest bearing financial liabilities and within interest expense for interest bearing financial assets.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to assets that require a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are complete.
Fees and commission income from contracts with customers are recognized based on the consideration specified in the contract when the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the service to the customer. With the exception of specific portfolio management fees which are calculated on the basis of the size and performance of the portfolio, the services provided have a fixed price. Variable portfolio management fees are recognized when all related uncertainties are resolved.
For commissions on services provided over time, revenue is recognized as the service is being provided to the customer, such as commissions to provide account management services, fees for administration of syndicated loans, fees for portfolio management and investment services advice.
For transaction-based fees, the execution and completion of the transaction executed signals the point in time, in which the service is transferred to the customer and the revenue is recognized, such as currency transactions, purchases / sales of securities as well as issue and disposal of syndicated loans and bonds.
Transaction revenues relating to the recognition of a financial instrument not measured at fair value through profit or loss are capitalized and amortised in the income statement using the effective interest method over the life of the financial instrument and included in interest income.
Gains less losses on financial transactions include:
Gains less losses on derecognition of financial assets measured at amortised cost include:
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that either has been disposed of, or has been classified as held for sale and represents:
The post tax profit or loss from discontinued operations and any losses recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group are presented in a separate line in the face of the income statement after net profit from continuing operations. The comparative financial statements are restated only for the income statement and the cash flow statement.
According to IAS 24, a related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements. For the Company, in particular, related parties are considered:
b. A person or an entity that have control, or joint control, or significant influence over the Company.
This category includes Hellenic Financial Stability Fund and its subsidiaries, because, in the context of the L.3864/2010, the HFSF participates in the Board of Directors and as a result is considered to have significant influence over it.
c. A person and his close family members, if that person is a member of the key management personnel.
The Company considers as key management personnel all the members of the Company's Board of Directors and of the Company's Executive Committee while as their close family members it considers their children and spouses or domestic partners and their dependents and the dependents of their spouses or domestic partners.
Related parties are also considered the entities controlled or jointly controlled by the above mentioned persons and more specifically the entities in which the above persons participate with more than 20%.
To the extent considered necessary the comparatives have been adjusted to facilitate changes in presentation of the current year amounts. Taking into account the hive down of the banking sector in the current year, the notes to the financial statements do not include disclosures of the balance sheet items of the comparative period in those cases where these items have no balances in the current year as, according to IAS 1, this information is not relevant to the understanding of the financial statements for the current year. It is noted that the relevant disclosures for the items of the comparative period are described in the published financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2020.
The Company, in the context of applying accounting policies, makes judgments and assessments relating to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities at the end of the period that relate to the future. Final amounts in the next year may be significantly different from those recognised in the financial statements. Those judgements relate to the following:
Due to the classification of most of the financial assets for which expected credit risk losses are calculated in the assets

held for sale, the expected credit risk losses were calculated by incorporating a 100% probability of sale. Therefore, as at 31.12.2021 there were no significant judgments related to the selection of methodologies and models for the calculation of the expected credit risk losses.
The recognition of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax is carried out based on the interpretation of the applicable tax legislation. However, it may be affected by factors such as the practical implementation of the relevant legislation and the settlement of disputes that might exist with tax authorities etc. When assessing the tax treatment of all significant transactions, the Company takes into account and evaluates all available data (Circulars of the Ministry of Finance, case law, administrative practices, etc.) and / or opinions received from internal and external legal advisers. Future tax audits and changes in tax legislation may result in the adjustment of the amount of assets and liabilities for current and deferred tax and in tax payments other than those recognized in the financial statements of the Company.
The Company classifies non-current assets or disposal groups that are expected to be recovered principally through a sale transaction, along with the related liabilities, as held-for-sale when the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition and its sale is highly probable to be completed within one year. The assessment of whether the above criteria are met requires judgment mainly as to whether the sale is likely to be completed within one year from the reporting date. In the context of this assessment, the Company takes into account the receipt of the required approvals (both regulatory and those given by the General Meeting and the Committees of the Company), the receipt of offers (binding or note) and the singing of agreements as well as of any conditions included in them.
Despite the fact that Company's cost of investment in the Bank exceeds Bank's net assets on a consolidated level, the Company made the judgment that there are no triggers for impairment considering that this is a temporary difference taking into account the following:
Key sources of estimation uncertainty used by the Company in the context of applying its accounting principles and which have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in the financial statements are presented below:
For assets and liabilities traded in active markets, the determination of their fair value is based on quoted, market prices. In all other cases the determination of fair value is based on valuation techniques that use observable market data to the greatest extent possible. In cases where there is no observable market data, the fair value is determined using data that are based on internal estimates and assumptions i.e. determination of expected cash flows, discount rates, prepayment probabilities or potential counterparty default.

Due to the classification of most of the financial assets for which expected credit risk losses are calculated in the assets held for sale, the expected credit risk losses were calculated by incorporating a 100% probability of sale. Therefore, as at 31.12.2021 there were no significant estimates related to the calculation of expected credit losses.
The Company, at each reporting date, assesses for impairment non – financial assets, and in particular, right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures and at least on an annual basis property, plant and equipment and investment property. Internal estimates are used to a significant degree to determine the recoverable amount of the assets, i.e. the higher between the fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
The estimates and judgments applied by the Company in making decisions and in preparing the financial statements are based on historical information and assumptions which at present are considered appropriate. The estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis in order to take into account current conditions, and the effect of any changes is recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.
The demerger by way of hive-down of the banking business sector resulted in the incorporation of a new company (under the name "Alpha Bank S.A.") which assumed all the activities of the Company relating to the banking sector. It is therefore considered as business combination between entities under common control, the Bank is the subsidiary of the Company which in turn becomes into a Holding entity under the name Alpha Services and Holdings S.A.
The respective transaction, as business combination between entities under common control, is scoped out of the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". In addition, since the Bank is a newly established entity, it cannot be considered as the acquirer in the transaction and therefore the demerger cannot be considered as a business combination but as a reorganization within the Group.
In accordance with the accounting policy of the Group, the transactions between group entities that involve the incorporation of new entities to which the assets and liabilities of a sector of another group entity are transferred at their book values in the books of the transferring entity. Furthermore, information from the date of the intragroup reorganization and onwards will be included in both separate and consolidated financial statements of the Bank.
In this context the accounting treatment of the Demerger involved the following:

The activities transferred in the context of the hive-down to the Bank., meet in the second quarter of 2021 the definition of discontinued operations in the separate financial statements of the Company and therefore the relevant results and cash flows are presented as deriving from discontinued operations in the Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flow, restating the comparative period. It is noted that the separation of results between continuing and discontinued operations does not include any deemed revenue or expenses or the result of transactions between the demerged Banking business sector and the sectors that remained in the Company.
The table below presents the assets, liabilities and equity reserves transferred to the Bank. hive-down date, the required adjustments in the context of the application of the accounting treatment as well as the statement of financial position of the Bank and the Company at the same date.

It is noted that in January 2021, 2,281,716 options rights were exercised which resulted in the issuance of 2,281,716 ordinary, registered, voting shares with nominal value of Euro 0.30 each. The share capital of the Company increased by € 685 and the share premium increased by € 1,483.
Additionally, the share capital increase of Alpha Services and Holdings S.A. was completed on July, and the share capital of the Company increased by € 240,000 with the issuance of 800,000,000 common, registered, voting shares with nominal value of € 0.30 each while the share premium increased by the amount of € 560,000, which resulted from the difference of the nominal value € 0.30 per share and the issue price of € 1.00 per share.
Diluted earnings/(losses) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period with the dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company holds shares of this category, which arise from a plan of awarding stock options rights to employees of the Company and its connected entities (note 36).
For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, it is assumed that the option rights are exercised and that the related inflows derive from the issuance of common shares at the average market price of the year during which the options were outstanding. The difference between the number of options to be granted and the ordinary shares issued at the average market price for ordinary shares, is recognized as issuance of ordinary shares without exchange.

During the current year, the balance of loans and advances to customers decreased significantly compared to the comparative period due to:
• The hive-down of banking sector
• The derecognition of securitized loans due to the completion of the Galaxy transaction and
• The classification of securitized loans to the SPV Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company to Assets held for sale Specifically:
On 30.4.2020 the Company before the demerger completed, in accordance with the provisions of article 10 of Law 3156/2003, the securitization of a portfolio of consumer, mortgage and corporate loans and receivables to special purpose entities. In particular, the Company transferred non-performing loan portfolios to four special purpose entities, Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company, set up for this purpose, which in turn issued notes. The three securitizations follow a three-tranche structure and have issued senior, mezzanine and junior notes. The Company acquired the total of the notes and maintained in all cases the risks and rewards deriving from the securitized portfolios, which resulted to not derecognizing the loans as it retained in all cases the risks and rewards of securitized portfolios.
In February 2021, a binding agreement was concluded with Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, which provided for the sale of 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes of the Non-performing Exposure portfolio issued by Orion Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company.
The sale was concluded on 18.6.2021 for a consideration of € 5,778. Following the sale of the mezzanine and junior notes, the Company ceased to have the control over the securitized loans, given that the special purpose entities have practically the right to transfer them to third party. As a result the Company derecognized the loans and recognised a loss from derecognition of financial assets measured at amortized cost amounting to € 2,238,989.
The calculation of the loss included besides the consideration the following:
The derecognition of the aforementioned loan portfolio was preceded by the transfer of loans of carrying amount € 28,497,491 to the new credit institution in relation to the hive-down of banking sector.
The balance of securitized loans in the special purpose entity Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company was classified at 31.12.2021 to Assets held for sale (note 35). As at 31.12.2020 the total of securitized loans in special purpose entities of the Galaxy securitization amounted to € 6,043,792.

The movement of allowance for expected credit losses for the current year includes an amount of € 48,636 (31.12.2020: € 823,820) which relates to discontinued operations.
"Impairment losses for the period" as of 31.12.2021, do not include impairment losses of € 292 (31.12.2020: € 22,209) which relate to impairment losses for loans classified as held for sale and the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their initial recognition (POCI) which is included in the carrying amount of the loans.
"Transfer of allowance for expected credit losses from/(to) Assets held for sale" includes amount of € 794,240 which relates to the carrying amount of accumulated impairments of securitized loans to the special purpose enterprise Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company which was classified in Assets held for sale at 31.12.2021. "Transfer of allowance for expected credit losses from/(to) Assets held for sale" includes an amount of € 327,731, which relates to a part of the loan portfolio of non-performing loans with collaterals, which was classified in the category "Assets held for sale" which are included in the securitization of non-performing retail and wholesale loans (Galaxy).


The carrying amount of advances to customers at amortized cost as at 31.12.2021 concerns receivables from the special purpose enterprize Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company in relation to the securitization transaction as well as trade receivables related to supporting accounting and tax services rendered to Group companies. The previous fiscal year advances to customers derived mainly from the Company's commercial activity other than lending, including mainly receivables from letters of guarantee, receivables from credit cards and other receivables from banking activities. The calculation of allowance for expected credit losses for the receivables that are exposed to credit risk, is being performed using the simplified approach, taking into account their lifetime expected credit losses (without being allocated into stages), as per IFRS 9.
The expected credit loss rate applied by the Company was determined based on the assessment of expected credit losses taking into account the time that the aforementioned receivables, which are mainly short-term, remain due.
Advances to customers as at 31.12.2021 amounted to € 18,446 (31.12.2020: € 299,196), while for the receivables that are exposed to credit risk, an allowance for expected credit losses amounting to € 36,995 was formed as at 31.12.2020.
The following tables present the reconciliation of advances to customers for the years 2021 and 2020:

For credit risk reporting purposes, the allowance for expected credit losses of loans measured at amortised cost includes also the fair value adjustment for the contractual balance of loans which were impaired at their acquisition or origination (POCI) since the Bank, from credit risk perspective, monitors the respective adjustment as part of the provisions. These loans were recognized either in the context of acquisition of specific loans or companies (i.e. Emporiki Bank and Citibank's retail operations in Greece), or as a result of significant modification of the terms of the previous loan that led to derecognition. Relevant adjustment have been performed to the carrying amount of the loans before allowance for expected credit losses.
It is noted that the credit risk tables do not include the carrying amounts and expected credit losses of loans classified in Assets held for sale.
In the context of the hive-down of the banking sector, loans and advances to customers measured at fair value, of a carrying amount of € 285,962, were transferred to the new crediti institution while in the context of the completion of the Galaxy transaction (as mentrioned above), loans and advances to customers measured at fair value, of carrying amount € 253 were derecognized.

The above movement for the current year includes an amount of € 22,850 (31.12.2020: € 66,293) which relates to amortizations from discontinued operations. All impairments for the year relate to discontinued operations.
The Company during the acquisition of the Citi retail banking operations and the acquisition of shares of Diners in 2014 recognized intangible assets which related to the customer relationships it obtained as a result of the transaction and the acquisition of citi's Wealth Management and the Citi/ Diners credit card clientele. During initial recognition the value of intangible assets was € 83,073 while as at 31.3.2021 their net book value was € 16,217.
During the recent period, the occurrence of external events (Covid-19 pandemic), the initiatives taken internally, like the restructuring of service and sales channels of the Company, the acceleration of rebalancing of customers' portfolios in the context of dealing with the pandemic as well as the operational changes that are expected to occur as a result of the implementation of the Transformation Program, resulted in the essential differentiation of the management of the clientele in total, compared to previous years. Additionally, in the period since the original recognition of intangibles, the Company has established a relationship of cooperation with the clientele obtained from Citi through new contractual relationships, diversification of products and services as well as pricing, resulting in the distinction between the two declining significantly.
The above gave the initiative for carrying out an impairment test on 31.3.2021, of which it was concluded that the explicit determination of future financial benefits from the above intangible assets is no longer feasible, which led to their total impairment.
The additions of current year mainly concern software implementations and purchases of computer licenses.
Additions in Software during 2021, include an amount of € 2,378 relating to development expenditure for software. Related amortization for the year amounted to € 0.01. Respectively, during 2020 the value of development expenditure for software recognized amounted to € 11,565 with related amortizations of € 233. The net book value of the above software at the date of the hive-down of banking sector that were contributed to the Bank was € 13,516.
Within 2020, the Company transferred to "Assets held for Sale" software with carrying amount of € 16,747 in the context of the transfer of the NPE business unit to Cepal Hellas.

According to the Demerger Deed, the credit institution under the name "Alpha Bank S.A" substituted as the universal successor of the Banking Business Sector and therefore all the liabilities related to the covered bonds and senior debt securities were contributed to the Bank in the context of the Corporate Transformation- Hive Down on 16.4.2021. All liabilities related to subordinated debt and hybrid securities remained within the Company.
Change in covered bond liabilities are summarized as follows:
| Balance 1.1.2021 | 512,449 |

| Changes for the year 1.1 - 31.12.2021 | |

Liabilities arising from the securitization of consumer loans, business loans and credit cards are not included in the account "Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds", because the respective securities, with nominal amount of € 1,666,200 (31.12.2020: 1,958,935) issued by special purpose entities were owned by the Company. These securities were contributed to the Bank with the corresponding liabilities.
On 30.4.2020, the Company proceeded with a securitization transaction of a portfolio of non-performing retail and wholesale loans ("Galaxy securitization"), and the terms of the securitization were finalized on 24.6.2020. More specifically, non-performing loans were transferred to the special purpose entities Orion X Securitization Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company, established in Ireland. The carrying amount of these loans at 16.4.2021 was € 6,022,689 (31.12.2020: € 6,148,332). Until the demerger of the banking business sector on 16.4.2021 the liabilities that arose from the aforementioned securitization, were not included in the caption "Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds", due to the fact that the respective notes of a total nominal value of € 11,713,951 (31.12.2020 € 11,722,272), issued by the special purpose entities, were held by the Company at an acquisition cost equal to the carrying amount of the loans securitised. It is noted that the change in the total nominal amount in relation to 31.12.2020 is due to the finalization of the perimeter of the transaction.
On 16.4.2021 the Senior notes (Class A) with a nominal value of € 3,763,000 as well as the 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes (Class B and Class C) with a nominal value of € 350,221 were contributed to the Bank. Respectively, the Company recognized a liability from the securitization equal to the value of the bonds recognized by the Bank, in which the net amounts of receivables and liabilities arising from the securitization and from transactions with special purpose companies are offset.
* Financial disclosures regarding covered bond issues, as determined by the 2620/28.8.2009 Act of the Bank of Greece, have been published on the Bank's site.
The remaining 95% of the mezzanine and junior notes with a nominal value of € 6,654,192 remained with the company.
Following the sale transaction of the 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes which was concluded on 18.6.2021, the respective securitized loans were derecognized from the balance sheet.
The movement of the liability from the securitization from the date of the corporate transformation until 18.6.2021 is presented in the table below:
| Balance 1.1.2021 | - |
|---|---|
| Changes for the year 1.1 - 31.12.2021 | |

The note issued by the special purpose company Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company, with a nominal value of € 946,538, is still owned by the company. Therefore the liability from this securitization of non-performing loans is not included in the " Debt securities in issue and other borrowed funds " line.
In the context of the Euro Medium Term Note Program of € 15 billion, Alpha Bank S.A. before the hive down issued on 13.2.2020 a subordinated debt at a nominal value of € 500 million for a period of ten years, with the option to recall in five years and with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.25%,until 13.2.2025 which is adjusted to a new interest rate valid from the recall date until expiration, determined on the five-year swap rate plus margin of 4.504%.
On 11.3.2021 Alpha Bank S.A. before the demerger issued a subordinated debt of nominal value € 500 million, expired at 11.6.2031, with the option to recall between 11.3.2026 and 11.6.2026 and a fixed annual interest rate of 5.5% until 11.6.2026, adjusted to a new interest rate effective from the recall date until maturity, determined on the five-year swap rate plus margin of 5.823%.

| Return on plan assets | 1.50% | |
| Future salary growth | 2.00% | 1.70% |

Following the completion of the corporate transformation, the main financial risks to which the Company is exposed are as follows:
The credit risk to which the Company is exposed comes from the following:
Exposure to credit institutions relates to loans, interbank transactions (which include positions in derivatives), and International Trade activities. Following the basic rules of designation, monitoring and revision of corporate lending, boundaries are for the monitoring of credit risk for the overall exposure per credit institution counterparty, excluding positions related to bonds issued by them. The approved credit limits are monitored on a daily basis. The validity period of the limits is specified in the approval of the limits in accordance with the counterparty credit institutions rating from international credit rating agencies.
In addition to the regular revisions of counterparty credit institutions limits, interim revisions may be carried out either due to circumstances associated with the trading activity of the Company or due to markets conditions or problems associated with counterparty credit institutions. Trigger events for an extraordinary review are regularly monitored per counterparty in order to review the relevant limits when such trigger events exist.
At each reporting date, a loss allowance for expected credit losses on due from banks is recognized.
The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. In addition, if the receivable falls under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized.
Due from bank's credit risk is assessed based on credit rating of rating agencies or internal credit rating of the counterparty when a loan exposure exists at company level.
The Company defines as low credit risk all investment grade counterparties, for which it calculates a credit allowance equal to a 12-month expected credit loss (Stage 1).
For counterparties which do not meet the criteria of investment grade, the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk for which calculation of lifetime expected credit losses is required (Stage 2), is based on the two following conditions (whichever occurs first):
Investments in debt securities relate to securities that are classified into investment security portfolio. If there is a loan relationship with the counterparty issuer at the time of classification of the security position as investment, the Corporate Credit Policy procedures apply. These positions are subject to Bank investment limits and issuer's limits and are monitored on a daily basis. At each reporting date, a loss allowance for expected credit losses on bonds, which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, is recognized. In addition, if the debt securities fall under the definition of purchased or originated credit impaired (POCI) financial assets, a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses is recognized. The loss allowance is based on expected credit losses related to the probability of default within the next twelve months, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from the date of initial recognition in which case expected credit losses are recognized over the life of the instrument. Credit risk of investment in debt securities is assessed based on credit ratings of rating agencies or internal credit rating in case of Greek corporate issuers for which loan exposure exists.
The Company defines as low credit risk all investment grade securities, for which it calculates a credit allowance equal to a 12-month expected credit loss (Stage 1).
For debt securities, which do not meet the criteria of investment grade, the assessment of the significant increase in credit risk for which calculation of lifetime expected credit losses is required (Stage 2), is based on the two following conditions (whichever occurs first):
In addition, the Company is monitoring, the change in credit spreads since the initial recognition date. A change in the credit spread of the issue of more than 500bps since the initial recognition date is a trigger for the review of the debt instrument staging.
Depending on the outcome of the above review the debt instrument will remain at Stage 1 or be allocated at Stage 2, regardless of whether the primary staging criteria for allocation to Stage 2 have been triggered or not.
The maximum credit risk exposure per category of financial asset in which the Company is exposed is depicted in the "Net exposure to credit risk" column.

An additional income amounted to € 101 (31.12.2020 € 92 expense), has been recognized in the expected credit losses of the period, which relates to the difference in the accumulated impairment losses between the trade and the settlement date for the securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The above mentioned accumulated impairment, depending on the valuation of the securities, is recognized in "Other assets" or "Other liabilities".
Market risk is the risk of losses arising from unfavorable changes in the value or volatility of interest rates, foreign exchange rates, stock exchange indices, equity prices and commodities.
The company is exposed to market risk, which is the risk of potential loss due to adverse changes in market variables, such as changes in interest rates and exchange rates.
The financial assets and liabilities of the Company are in Euro, therefore the foreign exchange risk is eliminated.
Banking book interest rate risk relates to the volatility on Equity and interest income of the Bank due to the mismatch between the nonnegotiable Assets Liabilities and the measured at fair value through other comprehensive income portfolio. The interest rate risk management framework is determined in accordance with the Asset Liability Risk Management Policy. Based on this framework, the risk analysis of the Banking Portfolio is analyzed through the Interest Rate Gap Analysis. Particularly, assets and liabilities are classified in Gaps depending on their reprising date for floating rate items, or maturity date for fixed rate items.
For those assets and liabilities with no maturity date, the distribution of flows is based on models of their behavior analysis. These models have been validated by the competent Division. Stress interest rate scenarios are carried out on a monthly basis and their impact on the interest income change through EAR (Earnings at Risk) and Equity Value through EVE (Economic Value of Equity) is calculated. Corresponding limits have been set for both measures (EaR & EVE) which are monitored on a regular basis.

The following table presents the Interest Rate Repricing Analysis of both Assets and Liabilities, financial and non financial.

From the Interest Rate Gap Analysis and from the application of alternative scenarios regarding the changes in the market interest rates or the changes in the base interest rates of the Company, the immediate change in the net interest income and equity relating to securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is directly calculated and the respective hedging instruments. In the Interest Rate Gap Analysis, the variance, up to the point it's feasible (interest rate equals to zero), is studied, according to the interest rate curves by currency in force.
It is noted that the sensitivity of the net interest income for the Company is zero as the investment portfolios, Assets and Liabilities, include fixed interest rate securities.
Certain figures of the previous year have been restated as described in note 38.
Liquidity risk relates to Company's ability to maintain sufficient funds to cover its planned or extraordinary obligations. Liquidity Risk comprises both funding liquidity risk and the risk arising from the Company's failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value (market liquidity risk).
For those assets and liabilities with no maturity date, the distribution of flows is based on models of their behavior analysis. These models have been validated by the competent Division.
Company's executive and senior management is informed on current liquidity risk exposures on a daily basis, ensuring that the Company's liquidity risk profile stays within approved limits. Moreover, management receives on a daily basis a liquidity report, which presents a detailed analysis of Company's funding sources and counterbalancing capacity. Among others, for the purpose of proper management of liquidity risk and in line with supervisory requirements, the Company monitors and manages on a monthly basis, the amount, quality and concentration of counterbalancing capacity, the cash flows arising from assets and liabilities (inflows, outflows – maturity ladder) over time, the concentration and cost of funding, the rollover of funding.
According to the Liquidity Gap Analysis, the cash flows arising from balance sheet items are calculated and classified into time periods in accordance with the contractual maturity date or the estimated maturity date based on a statistical analysis (convention). Investment portfolios, which may be used to raise liquidity, and they are allocated in the first period under the condition they have not been used to raise liquidity either through the Central Bank or through interbank repos agreement, are an exception to the above.
The Company's constant aspiration is to cooperate with international investors who may offer medium term financing through purchase of securities issued by the Company. For this purpose, the Company retains special financing programs appealing to international investors and provides adequate coverage of credit needs through international capital markets by planning asset level needs on an annual basis. However, the Company acknowledges that the demand of these bonds may not be enough to fully meet the needs in specific time intervals as a result of factors which concern the credit assessment in the domestic and international economic environment.

The tables above depict the fair value and the carrying amount of those financial assets that are not measured at fair value, per fair value hierarchy.
For the comparative period, the fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is estimated using model for discounting estimated contractual cash flows until maturity. The components of the discount rate are the interbank market yield curve, the liquidity premium and the expected loss rate. For those loans that for credit risk purposes are classified as impaired and are individually assessed for impairment, the model uses the expected future cash flows excluding expected credit losses. For the fair valuation of the impaired loans which are collectively assessed for impairment on product level, assumptions for principal repayment after taking into account the allowance for expected credit losses are utilized.
The interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium constitute the discount rate for impaired loans.
For the current year, the fair value of advances from customers does not differ from the book value as they represent short term receivables from Group companies.
The fair value of deposits is estimated based on the interbank market yield curve and the liquidity premium until their maturity.
Level 1 includes securities and debt securities in issue that are traded in active markets.
Level 2 includes securities and debt securities in issue, the fair value of which, is determined based on nonbinding market prices provided by dealers brokers or through the use of discounted cash flow methodologies such (income approach) using interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.
Level 3 includes other borrowed funds of the company to Special Purpose Entity. The fair value of these liabilities was calculated by discounting future cash flows taking into account nonobservable market data.
The fair value of the remaining financial assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised does not differ materially from their respective book value.

The tables above depict the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value by fair value hierarchy based on the data used for its determination.
In order to determine the fair value of the securities issued under the Galaxy transaction and recognized on 18.6.2021, it has been used the consideration for the sale of loans at 18.6.2021 and they are presented at level 3, as it has been considered that no change occur until 31.12.2021.
In order to determine the fair value of the securities issued under the Cosmos transaction and recognized on 17.12.2021, it has been used the consideration for the sale of loans at 17.12.2021 and they are presented at level 3, as it has been considered that no change occur until 31.12.2021.
In regards to the determination of the fair value of securities and derivatives as at 31.12.2021 and their classification at fair value hierarchy levels the following apply:
Level 1 includes securities which are traded in an active market and exchange traded derivatives.
Level 2 includes securities whose fair value is calculated based on nonbinding market prices provided by dealers brokers or securities whose fair value is estimated based the income approach methodology with the use of interest rates and credit spreads which are observable in the market.
Level 3 includes securities whose fair value is estimated using significant unobservable inputs.
The valuation methodology of securities is subject to approval. It should be noted that specifically for securities whose fair value is calculated based on market prices, bid prices are considered and daily checks are performed in regards to their change in fair value.
Equity shares whose fair value is estimated based on models are classified to Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the extent of the contribution of unobservable data to the calculation of the final fair value. The fair value of nonlisted shares, as well as shares not traded in an active market is determined either based on the Company's share on the issuer's equity or by the multiples valuation method or the estimations made by the Company regarding the future profitability of the issuer taking into account the expected growth rate of its operations, as well as the weighted average rate of capital return which is used as discount rate.
For the valuation of over the counter derivatives income approach methodologies are used: discounted cash flow models, option pricing models or other widely accepted financial valuation models.
The valuation methodology of the over the counter derivatives is subject to approval. Mid prices are utilized as they can relate to both long and short positions. Valuations are checked on a daily basis with the respective prices of the counterparty banks or clearing houses in the context of the daily process of provision of collaterals and settlement of derivatives. If the non observable inputs are significant, the fair value that arises is classified as Level 3 or otherwise as Level 2.
In addition, the Company calculates the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) in order to take into account the counterparty credit risk for the OTC derivatives. In particular, taking into consideration its own credit risk, the Company calculates the bilateral credit valuation adjustment (Bilateral CVA/BCVA) for the OTC derivatives held on a counterparty level according to applicable netting and collateral agreements. BCVA is calculated across all counterparties with derivatives with a significant fair value in total taking into consideration the default probability of both the counterparty and Company, the impact of the first to default, the expected OTC derivative exposure, the loss given default of the counterparty and of Company and the specific characteristics of the applicable netting and collateral agreements.
Collaterals are simulated along with the derivative portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. Calculations performed depend largely on observable market data. Market quoted counterparty and Company's CDS spreads are used in order to derive the respective probability of default, a market standard recovery rate is assumed for developed market counterparties, correlations between market data are taken into account and subsequently a series of simulations is performed to model the portfolio exposure over the life of the related instruments. In the absence of observable market data, the counterparty probability of default and loss given default are determined using the Company's internal models for credit rating and collateral valuation.
A breakdown the fiscal year of 2020 of BCVA per counterparty sector and credit quality, as defined for the presentation purposes of the table "Loans by credit quality and IFRS 9 Stage" is given below:

The Company had carried out securitization transactions of corporate, shipping, consumer loans and credit cards in order to raise liquidity. Securitized loans continued to be recognized in the Company's balance sheet as it retained in all cases the risks and rewards, as evidenced by the characteristics of the transactions (eg full consolidation of special purpose companies, bond ownership and the right to collect the deferred consideration from the transfer). The book value of these securitized loans at 31.12.2020 amounted to € 2,050,515, while there was essentially no obligation from these transfers as all notes of the special purpose companies are owned by it. Within 2021 and before the corporate transformation, one of the above transactions was revoked with the full repayment of the notes of the special purpose company, ie the securitization of a bond loan through the Alpha Quantum DAC (revocation at 19.3.21). Receivables and liabilities from other transactions were transferred to the Bank in the context of the corporate transformation and ceased to be recognized by the Company.
In addition, the Company, on 30.4.2020, proceeded to a securitization transaction of non performing retail and corporate loans ("Galaxy"). More specifically, non performing loans were transferred to the special purpose entities Orion X Securitisation Designated Activity Company, Galaxy II Funding Designated Activity Company, Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company and Galaxy IV Funding Designated Activity Company, established in Ireland.
Initially, due to the fact that the bonds issued by the above special purpose companies owned by the Company, the Company continued to recognize securitized loans in its balance sheet as it retained the risks and rewards. On 31.12.2020 the book value of securitized loans through the four special purpose companies amounted to € 6,148,287, without any obligation to transfer. As part of the corporate transformation of 16.4.2021, 100% of the senior notes and 5% of the mezzanine and junior notes were transferred to the Bank, while the Company continued to recognize securitized loans. On 18.6.2021 the Company sold 51% of the mezzanine and junior notes issued by the companies Orion Securitisation DAC, Galaxy II Funding DAC and Galaxy IV Funding DAC, which led to the derecognition of the respective loan portfolios as it ceased to has control over them. The book value of the securitized loan portfolio of Galaxy III Funding DAC that continues to be recognized by the Company as at 31.12.2021 amounts to € 52,959 and given the fact that the notes are owned by the Company ownership of the bond issue, there is no transfer obligation.

During 2021, the Bank initiated the process through onephase procurement procedure to dispose a portfolio of loans of retail banking mostly without collaterals, which consists of:
a) The Company's securitized loan portfolio to the special purpose entity Galaxy III Funding Designated Activity Company
b) Loan perimeter within the Bank
During December 2021, binding offers were submitted by potential investors and the Bank proceeded with their evaluation.
With the decision of 20.12.2021 of the Executive Committee of the Bank, a preferred investor emerged and with the decision of 22.12.2021 of the Board of Directors, an approval for the signing of the binding transfer agreement between the Bank and the said investor was given.
On 28.12.2021 the Bank entered into a binding agreement with the investor for the sale of the portfolio.
Taking into account the above,as well as the estimate that the transaction is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2022, the Company classified loans with a book value of € 52,959 in the category "Assets held for sale", which are going to be transferred to the Bank for the implementation of the transaction.
The fair value, including costs to sell, of this loan portfolio on 31.12.2021 does not differ from the respective book value, since for the calculation of the expected credit risk losses, a 100% probability of completion of the above transaction has been taken into account.
It is noted that, within the first quarter of 2021, the Company transferred from the category "Assets held for sale" to the category "Loans and advances to customers" loans with a book value of € 115 million as they did not meet the conditions for its classification in the category " Assets held for sale ". The remaining loan portfolio was contributed to the Banking sector.
On 25.1.2021, the Company completed the transfer of Alpha Bank Albania S.A. to Alpha International Holding S.M.S.A. at its book value of € 66,938 which was the same as its fair value.
Moreover, on 12.2.2021, completed the sale of its subsidiary AIP Attica II S.A. As at 31.12.2020, the book value amounted to € 21,782, while the price, considering the Company's shareholding, amounted to € 26,165.In the above mentioned amount it is also included the contingent consideration payable after the end of three years, subject to collection of specific rents. The transfer resulted in a profit of € 4,043 after transaction costs and was recognized in "Gains less losses on financial transactions" of the Income Statement and it is included in the results from discontinued operations.
In the assets held for sale, as at 31.12.2020, were included fixed assets with a carrying amount of € 435 which were transferred in the Banking sector as well as the Company's participation in the "Forthnet S.A. with a carrying amount of one euro. On 13.11.2020 a partial sale of the abovementioned participation was completed, for an amount of € 95 leading to a recognition of profit of € 90 after transaction costs in "Gains less losses on financial transactions for discontinued operations". In addition, on 8.9.2020 and on 13.11.2020 the convertible bonds of "Forthnet S.A." were sold for an amount of € 374, leading to a recognition of profit of € 364 after transaction costs in "Gains less losses on financial transactions from discontinued operations". On 5.3.2021 the sale of the remaining shareholding (0.27% of the share capital of Forthnet S.A.) was completed and from the outcome of the transaction a profit amounting to € 280 was recognized in "Gains less losses on financial transactions from discontinued operations".

| Options Rights expired during the year | (282,229) |
| Balance 31.12.2021 | 6,802,236 |
The price of the Company's share at the time of exercising the Options rights amounted to € 0.77.
The Periods of Exercise of the active rights on 31.12.2021 are depicted below.
| Exercise period | Total maximum number of options that can be exercised |
|---|---|
| January 2022 | 3,703,742 |
| January 2023 | 1,232,064 |
| January 2024 | 1,160,132 |
| January 2025 | 706,298 |
| Total | 6,802,236 |
The weighted average lifespan of the above rights is 19.5 months.
From the disposal of the above rights, an amount of € 3,083 was recognized in reserve equity credit, of which € 175 was recognized as expense from discontinued activities in the Income Statement of 31.12.2021 (31.12.2020: € 1,495) and an amount of € 2,908 (31.12.2020: € 172) was recognized in the acquisition cost of the Investments in subsidiaries.
For the Options rights awarded on 31.12.2021 with an exercise date of January 2022, the fair value was determined as the variation between the share price on 31.12.2021, which is the date of issue, and the exercise price. A similar methodology was applied for the rights awarded on 31.12.2020 with an exercise date of January 2021.
For the other Options rights the fair value was determined using the Black & Scholes valuation model.
