In 2012, the activity of banks in Portugal was constrained by the worsening of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area and by the entry into force of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme agreed, in May 2011, between the Portuguese State, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank. The recessive climate created resulted in the decrease of the disposable income of households and in the increase of unemployment and credit delinquency, generating deflationary pressures in the Portuguese economy.
Within this context, 2012 was a crucial year in the life of Banco Comercial Português, which demonstrated its capacity to sustain itself as a privately-owned Bank and with management autonomy.
The Funding and Capital Plan
The Funding and Capital Plan presented to the Bank of Portugal, within the scope of the Bank's access to public investment, and approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 25 June 2012, resulted from the new regulatory requirements, in terms of minimum capital requirements, namely from the Bank of Portugal and the European Banking Authority (EBA). However, Banco Comercial Português chose to adopt even more stringent criteria to create a temporary capital buffer.
The increase in the share capital of Banco Comercial Português involved two components: i) Public investment, consisting of hybrid instruments in the amount of 3 billion euros, qualifying as Core Tier I, subscribed by the Portuguese State, at the end of June and ii) Private investment, through a rights issue amounting to 500 million euros, at the price of 0.04 euros per share, which was completed at the start of October 2012.
The plan consists of three key phases: in the 1st phase, covering the 2012-2013 period, in a challenging economic context, the priorities will be strengthening the balance sheet structure, seeking to achieve comfortable capital ratios, reinforcing the liquidity position and improving the quality of the balance sheet. The main objectives of the 2nd phase, covering the 2014-2015 period, will be the preservation of the strategic position in Portugal, the recovery of profitability, optimisation of capital allocation, and a focus on international operations, namely the continued development of the business in Poland, Mozambique and Angola. Lastly, in the 3rd phase, covering the 2016-2017 period, the plan provides for sustained growth of results and a better balance between the contribution of the domestic component and that of the international component.
Through the Funding and Capital Plan and the 2012-2017 Strategic Programme in progress, Millennium bcp will succeed in strengthening its solvency and liquidity positions and recover its profitability, thus laying the necessary foundations to meet future challenges.
However, at present, the recapitalisation of Portuguese banks and the demanding deleveraging process, agreed under the Economic and Finance Assistance Programme, performed in a particularly adverse macroeconomic and financial environment, have contributed to the deterioration of the profitability and efficiency indicators.
Banco Comercial Português complied with the relevant regulatory requirements, having reported a Core Tier I ratio of 9.7% in June 2012 and of 9.8% in December 2012, according to the criteria of EBA. Adjusted for the values of 31 December 2012, the sovereign buffer would be zero euros, implying a ratio of 11.4%, according to the criteria of EBA. The Bank also achieved a Core Tier I ratio of 12.4% in December 2012, according to the criteria of the Bank of Portugal.
The commercial gap decreased by 7.3 billion euros relative to December 2011, with the loan-to-deposit ratio (according to the criteria of the Bank of Portugal) declining to 129% and the ratio of net loans and advances to on balance sheet customer funds which fell to 112%, at the end of 2012. It is worth highlighting the 5.1% increase in balance sheet customer funds relative to the end of 2011, with growth of deposits in Portugal and the evolution of credit in line with the liquidity plan, having decreased 6.5% relative to the end of 2011.
The consolidated net income of Millennium bcp was negative by 1,219.1 million euros in 2012, compared with the loss of 848.6 million euros in 2011. This result was penalised by impairments for estimated
losses and for the loss generated by the operation in Greece, in a total amount of 693.6 million euros. It was also constrained by impairments and provisions in the activity in Portugal, in the amount of 1,236.0 million euros, with the incorporation of the reinforcement needs detected in 2012 within the scope of the on-site inspections programme (OIP) coordinated by the Bank of Portugal, in the amount of 290 million euros.
In addition to these negative factors, there is the adverse impact on the net interest margin of the liability management operations of 2011 and the hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State, as well as the commission costs for the issuance of debt securities guaranteed by the Portuguese State and a component of costs related to the restructuring programme and early retirements.
The aim of the restructuring programme in progress is the structural adjustment of the institution, with particular emphasis on the non-commercial areas and the administrative reorganisation in line with the new business model and current economic environment. In 2012, the number of employees decreased in net terms by 977, corresponding to 619 terminations by mutual agreement, 191 through early retirement and a current reduction of 199, at a total cost already reflected in the accounts of 2012 of 69.3 million euros. As a result of this process, we expect future annual savings of more than 30 million euros.
Administrative costs fell 3.3% in 2012, in spite of a significant reduction in costs over the last few years (-22.2% over the 2007-2011 period). The Bank expects to achieve savings of 70 million euros annually in the medium term, namely through organisational simplification, process reengineering, redesign of the Bank's IT strategy and the resizing of the commercial network.
It is also important to point out the favourable performances of Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola, which together reported a positive net result of 236 million euros. In Poland, the new strategic initiatives are aligned with the Bank's sustainability assumptions. These assumptions include: a high capital base, comfortable levels of liquidity, strict risk management, ongoing cost control and optimisation of processes. In Mozambique and Angola the Bank continues its expansion plan, confident that these operations have a high growth margin, given the GDP growth prospects in these countries and their low rate of banking penetration.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
The creation of social value, sustained by a culture of rigour intrinsic to the activity developed, continued to be one of our transversal priorities, with the objective of contributing to the economic and social development of the countries in which the Bank operates and interacting in a balanced manner with all our Stakeholders.
In a particularly adverse context, numerous initiatives were undertaken, within the scope of social responsibility, among which the following are particularly noteworthy: the dissemination of culture undertaken by the Millennium bcp Foundation, with the majority of cultural resources belonging to the Bank and the extension of its support to scientific studies; the "More Mozambique for Me" programme which has been developing a social welfare project to promote education among young people with the participation of civil society, over the last six years; the involvement of many Employees in all of the Bank's operations, in community initiatives that have contributed to the improvement of many people's living standards; and the Microcredit operation, in Portugal, which continues to support and reward entrepreneurs with viable projects having supported 2,534 projects that helped to create 3,798 jobs over its seven years of activity as an autonomous network.
At the end of the year the sentiment in international markets improved, stemming from the efforts to minimise the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area, which led to a drop in public debt interest rates, allowing some Portuguese financial institutions and the Portuguese Republic to access the international funding market. This, in turn, increased the confidence of investors in European listed banks. Nonetheless, the next few years, coinciding with the public investment horizon and the execution of the Strategic Plan, will not be any less challenging for the Bank. Our success will depend not only on the sound execution of the plan but also on the recognition by the markets of the efforts undertaken by Portugal to meet the targets set forth in the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme.
The year of 2013 is a pivotal year for our Bank. In spite of the context of uncertainty associated to the compensatory measures required by the European Commission within the scope of approval of the restructuring plans of banks that resorted to state investment, we believe that the current conditions set out in the Recapitalisation Plan are balanced, since they take into account exogenous and transitory factors that justify resorting to state investment, the management model and the investment strategy of the Bank to strengthen its solvency.
The Bank also faces the requirement of having to repay the state investment. The Recapitalisation Plan presented to the Bank of Portugal foresees the repayment of the hybrid instruments progressively, from 2014 onwards and prior to the maximum period of 5 years. Compliance with the targets of the plan shall be achieved through the internal generation of results and the reduction of the risk-weighted assets portfolio, through deleveraging, optimisation and extension of the IRB to other loan portfolios, namely Poland.
With the strengthening of the capital and liquidity position and the simplification of the organisation, the Bank is better prepared to face future challenges and support the economy, in particular companies with good risk operating in tradable goods sectors.
With the commitment of all the Stakeholders, in particular the more than 5 million Customers, the approximately 190 thousand Shareholders, and the more than 20 thousand Employees, the Bank will execute its 2012-2017 Strategic Plan and create conditions to strengthen its leadership position in the national financial sector.

In 2011, the Bank formalised a license application for the opening of an official branch in the Popular Republic of China. The Bank also has a presence in the Cayman Islands through BCP Bank & Trust with a type B license. Particular reference should be made to the signing, in 2011, of the partnership agreement with Banco Privado Atlântico for the constitution/acquisition of a bank in Brazil, aiming to explore opportunities in the Brazilian market, namely in the areas of corporate and trade finance, through partnerships.
Millennium bcp aspires to be the reference Bank in Customer service, based on innovative distribution platforms, where over two thirds of the capital is allocated to Retail and Companies, in markets of high potential which are projected to have an annual growth of turnover above 10%, and also to achieve higher efficiency levels, reflected in a commitment to an efficiency ratio at reference levels for the sector and with tighter discipline in capital and cost management.
The Bank's mission is to create value for Customers through high quality banking and financial products and services, complying with rigorous and high standards of conduct and corporate responsibility, growing with profitability and sustainability, in order to provide an attractive return to Shareholders, which supports and strengthens its strategic autonomy and corporate identity.

The Group provides a wide variety of banking services and financial activities in Portugal and internationally, where it holds a prominent position in the Africa markets, through countries with which it maintains a historical and cultural affinity (Mozambique and Angola) and has an important presence in Europe through its operations in Poland, Greece, Romania and Switzerland. All the operations develop their activity under the Millennium brand. Always attentive to the challenges imposed in an increasingly global market, the Group also ensures its presence in the five main continents of the world through representation offices and/or commercial protocols.
The Bank provides a vast range of financial products and services: current accounts, means of payment, saving and investment products, private banking, asset management and investment banking, as well as mortgage loans, consumer credit, commercial banking, leasing, factoring and insurance, among others. The back-office operations for the distribution network are integrated, in order to benefit from economies of scale.
In Portugal, Millennium bcp has the second largest distribution network, focused on retail where it provides services to its Customers in a segmented manner. The operations of the subsidiaries generally provide their products through the Millennium bcp distribution networks, offering a wide range of products and services, with special emphasis on asset management and insurance.
Millennium bcp is the largest private banking institution in Portugal, with a leadership position and particular strength in various financial products, services and market segments based on a strong and significant brand franchise.
The activity in the domestic market focuses on Retail Banking, which is segmented in order to best serve the Customers's interests, both through a value proposal based on innovation and speed aimed at Massmarket Customers, and through the innovation and personalised management of service targeting Prestige and Business Customers. The Retail Network also has a bank aimed specifically at Customers who are young in spirit, intensive users of new communication technologies and prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering innovative products and services.
The Bank also offers remote banking channels (banking service by telephone and Internet), which operate as distribution points for its financial products and services. The remote channels also underlie a new concept of banking, based on the ActivoBank platform.
At the end of 2012, the Bank was supported by the second largest banking distribution network of the country – 839 branches, serving over 2.3 million Customers, and held the position of second bank (first private bank) in terms of market share both concerning loans to customers (19.1%), and customer deposits (18.1%).
The generalisation of the liquidity and credit crises, which began in 2007, has brought new challenges to the financial system. The aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis has required additional effort from national banks in order to overcome the adversities.
Millennium bcp, in particular, has proven its robustness by successfully exceeding the successive requirements on matters of capital and liquidity. The Bank's solidity is based on a time-tested and distinguished business model, confirmed through its performance indicators and external recognition (where we highlight the impressive number of awards received and high levels of Customer satisfaction).
The State's underwriting of hybrid instruments that qualify as Core Tier I capital to the total value of 3 billion euros, concluded on 29 June 2012 and the share capital increase to the value of 500 million euros, finalised in October, enabled the Bank to achieve more comfortable capital ratios. For the threeyear period of 2013-2015, the goals of Millennium bcp consist of the recovery of profitability in Portugal and the continued development of the business in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.
The capacity of resilience of the business model is essentially based on the Bank's concentration on retail banking, by nature more stable and less volatile, in relation to the reduced weight of financial operations. The resilience of net operating revenues, even in the current context of the financial crisis and high efficiency levels which have been strengthened progressively since 2008, are the result of a continued strategy based on cost reduction.
Under the motto "We seek to see the world through our Customers' eyes, because we aspire to meet all their needs and contribute to the fulfilment of their dreams", Millennium bcp has chosen "Focus on the Customer" as one of its strategic pillars, and this is a critical factor for the Bank's success.
The Bank has strengthened its commitment to Customers as one of its strategic priorities since 2009, having implemented a set of initiatives in this context, in particular: i) Programmes of enhancing proximity to the Customer base, through an increased number of contacts and regular monitoring of their activity, enabling the identification of new business opportunities and detection of any signs of potential default which allow the Bank to take preventive action and ii) Programmes aimed at attracting of Customers in the main international operations.
At the same time, Millennium bcp has promoted the information sharing with its Customers, through a variety of events, where the Millennium Meetings have been of special importance, both for Individual and Corporate Customers.
The recognition shown by the Customers has been visible. In 2012, Millennium bcp was distinguished as the "Consumer Choice" in Portugal, by Consumerchoice – Consumer Satisfaction Assessment Centre, thus becoming the first brand to achieve this award in the "Banking" category.
With a view to the continuous and permanent search to improve Customer service and because it believes that the confidence of its Customer is the most valuable asset, the Bank regularly monitors customer satisfaction, through studies of measurement of the quality of the service provided.
During 2012, 804,255 questionnaires were sent by postal and electronic mail, with an overall response rate of 8.4%. The in-depth diagnosis carried out amongst Customers of the Retail Network has enabled the identification of "trust" and "quality of service" as the attributes clearly highlighted by Customers as the main reason for the choice of their primary Bank.
The monitoring of Retail Customer satisfaction with the global offer and service rendered has enabled the conclusion that the high levels of satisfaction have been maintained based on the strengthening of Customer relations, support and information / financial advisory services as well as the suitability of the offer.
Since its incorporation, BCP has built a reputation based on dynamism, innovation, competitiveness, profitability and financial strenght. The Bank is considered a benchmark in several market segments in Portugal, and an institution with an international reputation in the distribution of financial products and services. BCP was the first bank in Portugal to introduce several concepts and innovative products, including direct marketing methods, design of branches based on the customers' profile, salary accounts, smaller and more efficient branches ("NovaRede"), telephone banking (through Banco 7, which subsequently became the first online platform in Portugal, health insurance (Médis) and "Seguro Directo" insurance, and was the first Portuguese bank with a website dedicated to companies.
In view of the importance of innovation, as a distinguishing factor of excellence relative to the competition, BCP was also a pioneer in the launch of a new banking concept, supported by the ActivoBank platform, based on the simplicity of customer service, convenience, transparency and presence of emerging distribution and communication channels (e.g. Mobile Banking). ActivoBank has been recognised by the international financial community and distinguished with the attribution of awards such as "Best Consumer Internet Bank 2012 in Europe" and "Best in Mobile Banking", given by Global Finance magazine, amongst others, and was short-listed as one of the five finalists, amongst 200 candidates, for the Global Banking Innovation Awards in the category "Disruptive Innovation" promoted by the BAI. ActivoBank was also distinguished by World Finance magazine as "Best Commercial Bank" in Portugal, in the World Finance Banking Awards 2012.
The persistent search for new solutions, as long as new means better, is a commitment that reaches across the organisation. The Employees are involved in this process through an internal programme of improvement, "Mil Ideas", based on the recognition of the Employees as a creative force generating ideas of value and focusing on a culture of innovation.

During 2012, the Bank developed a set of structural projects and initiatives in the different areas of the Information Technology Department, with the aim of continuing a process of continuous improvement of operating and application efficiency, service levels, optimisation of costs and timely adaptation to business requirements.
For this purpose, consistent with the reference framework established by the Bank, some critical areas of action were defined, in particular the new segmentation of Customers, renewal of the website for Individual Customers, in accordance with a new strategy and commercial approach, the upgrading the commercial monitoring platform (iPAC) and support system extended to all products of Trade Finance activity (IMEX) and the provision of new functionalities in terms of Trade Finance and e-invoicing, on the Internet channels.
The Millennium brand is a base for the global offer of the Bank and a fundamental part of its commercial strategy with direct impact on net income, leading to the positioning of Millennium bcp in the mind of its Customers, projecting credibility, strengthening the relation of trust in the Bank and creating feelings of loyalty, boosting the value of the brand.
The Millennium brand reflects also a promise of value for Customers and enables the differentiation of the Bank and its service in relation to the competition by clearly embodying the principles and values undertaken by Millennium bcp and perceived by the market, where "Innovation", "Modernity/Youth", "Dynamism" and "Quality" have a particular importance, according to independent research conducted by Marktest (BASEF) and Grupo Consultores (BrandScore).
The main strategic guidelines of Millennium bcp's business involves the areas of attraction of Customers and business, in particular customer funds, and were conveyed during 2012 through the launch of a series of advertising campaigns which aligned the commercial discourse with the key values of the Bank. The communication process focused on a sustainable and coherent message, based on the premise of perfect harmony between the intended institutional positioning and the defined business objectives.
This strategy was supported by a specific offer of solutions and products. In this context, special note should be made of the institutional campaign personified by José Mourinho, to which the "Special One Top Term Deposit" was linked. Based on José Mourinho's testimonial on strategic concepts for the Bank such as Savings, the Family and Portugal, this campaign was constructed around and inspired by the statement "We Believe" as a manifestation of a common belief, transversal to Millennium and to Society itself.
The perfect harmonisation between current event and communication was also present in the main initiatives launched during this period, particularly in the "Olympic Deposit" campaign, which reinforced Bank's status as the Official Bank of the Portuguese Olympic Committee, and in the strategic campaigns at a commercial level such as "Vantagem Ordenado" (Salary Advantage), "Frequent Customer", "Millennium GO!" and "Rendimento Mensal" (Monthly Income).
It is also important to highlight Millennium's focus on innovative actions such as the "M Imóveis" (Real Estate Properties) project, whose communication strategy enabled significant commercial leverage and the presentation of tactical initiatives such as the "25 Euro Gift Voucher", launched at the beginning of December for the Christmas period.
The good results and success of the Communication that has been developed were reflected not only in the different awards received - including the Bronze Award for the category of Financial Services and Insurance of the Communication Effectiveness Awards for the "Rock in Rio Lisboa 2012" Campaign - but also in the distinction as "Consumer Choice" in the Banking category, with special reference to "Service", "Pricing of products and services" and "Conditions offered" and, also, in the Bank's recognition as a "Superbrand 2012".
The reputation of Millennium bcp in 2012 was consolidated, with the Bank having been awarded, once again, a position of special importance amongst the private Banks operating in Portugal, being considered the Banking leader in "Top of Mind" and "Total Spontaneous Recall", according to the latest data from independent studies by Marktest (BASEF).
During 2012, Millennium bcp continued its policy of association with major events and entities which, due to their scale and positioning in the market, are fundamental for the presence of the brand with the general public. In this context, we highlight the Bank's continued association with Rock in Rio Lisboa which, in celebrating its 5th edition, was once again supported by Millennium bcp as its "Main Sponsor". This event is considered to be the most important and widely known music festival held in Portugal, with a total recall of 97% amongst the population. During the 2012 edition, the festival received over 350 thousand visitors, strengthening the perception of Millennium bcp as the dominant banking brand in the music field, having been referred to by 77% of the people questioned in the study conducted by Grupo Consultores (BrandScore).
Particular note should also be made of the signing of the protocol with the Portuguese Olympic Committee (COP) for the Portuguese participation in the London 2012 Olympic Games, with Millennium bcp having become the "Official Bank" of the COP and Portuguese Olympic Team. The association of the brand to the Olympic athletes embodies the value of work, ambition, passion and spirit of victory.
Following its mission to add value to its Customer and other stakeholders, Millennium bcp actively entered the Social Networks in May 2010, and now has several dozens of thousands of "followers", in particular on Facebook, whose higher number of visitors and ongoing activity support a communication strategy based on the immediacy and proximity to target groups, with discosure of information of general interest in the context of the activity of each area.
During 2012, the presence of Millennium bcp in the social networks was consolidated through a concerted and integrated communication strategy, involving internal and external resources which, through the monitoring of various platforms and constant active participation, increased the number of "followers" and interactions with the different areas. From social responsibility to products, involving entertainment and support to Customers, Millennium bcp's action in the Social Networks is a benchmark of good practices and success which is expected to grow in 2013, covering new challenges.

The activities foreseen in the Sustainability Master Plan for 2010-2012 have practically all been implemented, except for a few defined under the environmental strategy and which resulted from alterations in market circumstances. Further details on the degree of compliance of the activities are available on the Institutional website of Millennium bcp www.millenniumbcp.pt in the area of Sustainability.
The year 2012 will be recorded as one of the most challenging periods for the Employees of Millennium bcp, not only as a result of the economic, financial and social context of Portugal, but also due to the changes inside the Organisation which have had direct impact on the Bank's daily activity. The new Board of Directors and respective Executive Committee was elected and a new strategic plan defined in three phases for the next 5 years, under which the adaptation of the Bank's structure started in 2012, with the objective of simplifying it and making it more efficient.
However, since the Employees constitute one of the most important Stakeholders and a strategic pillar for business sustainability, investment was maintained in valorisation and incentives as well as the promotion of a balance between work and family life through: i) maintenance of the different mechanisms of listening to Employees, ii) strengthening internal communication on the different strategic topics of the Bank, iii) continuation of the training effort so as to reinforce the skills and development of the Employees, iv) strengthening partnerships with external entities in order to gain access to products and services under better financial conditions, and v) boosting of actions to strengthen relations between Employees and the Community.
Millennium bcp has developed internal processes since 1992, integrated in the Satisfaction Management System, so that the opinion of our Employees are heard, seeking to ensure work relations based on ethics, the creation of value and stimulation of participative management.
The survey to assess the level of satisfaction of the Employees conducted in 2012 recorded its highest participation ever within the Group and in Portugal, with a response rate of 85% and 84% respectively. The results obtained from these surveys, which are provided to and analysed by the different structures and hierarchies, have shown a positive evolution in the 4 overall indicators, in particular Satisfaction with Direct Hierarchy and with Organic Unit which achieved, in Portugal, a level of excellence of 80 points, and Satisfaction as an Employee and Motivation which recorded indices of 78 and 76 points, respectively.
Professional fulfilment, belonging to the Group, leadership through example and pride in belonging to the teams are the attributes most highlighted by the Employees and which, consequently, influence the performance of the 4 overall indicators.

Various surveys have been conducted within the satisfaction of internal customers process, in order to assess the opinion of the Employees as internal customers, seeking to identify opportunities for improvement of the different processes of the Organisation, with the objective of defining action plans to improve the quality of the service provided to the final Customer and the involvement and motivation of the teams and their Employees.
The efficacy of this process is reflected in the positive evolution, between 2010 and 2012, of the satisfaction levels, which increased by 1.5 i.p. in Portugal and by 5.3 i.p. in the international operations.


During 2012, in Portugal, 75 studies were carried out
with a participation rate of 64%, and in the international operations, 20 studies were made in which 62% of the Employees participated.
Under the appraisal system, to identify the main needs relative to training, development and mobility, of the Employees eligible for this process, the following percentages were assessed: 99% in Portugal and 86% in the international operations, with a recorded disagreement of 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively.
The principles of action of the BCP Group have established values and benchmarks of action, applicable to all Employees, of all operations, which include unequivocal guidance so that: (i) regardless of the respective hierarchical or responsibility level, all Employees act in a fair manner, refusing any situation of discrimination; and (ii) the commitment to the ten Global Compact Principles is reaffirmed, under which the Group recognises and supports the freedom of association and the right to collective work agreement negotiation and rejects the existence of any form of forced and compulsory labour, as well as child labour.
A negative overall net change of 5.3% was recorded in the total number of Employees in 2012, with a reduction of 7.4% in the European countries and an increase of 6.1% in the African countries.

The variation of Employees' number, by country, it's result of recruitment, leavings and mobility between Group's countries/ companies.
In Portugal, 1,009 Employees left during 2012. Of the 810 Employees who left at the end of the year, after the implementation of the resizing process foreseen in the strategic plan, 619 left through termination by mutual agreement and 191 through early retirement. The termination by mutual agreement process included a voluntary option, which represented 30.4% (188 Employees) of the total termination of work contracts, with a view to allowing any Employee interested in this form of layoff to benefit from the respective conditions.
The process of termination by mutual agreement included measures to mitigate the social and financial impact implied by this type of action and the layoff conditions corresponded to the best offer which, given the circumstances, the Bank could offer, both in the financial and social area, and greatly exceed the legal minimum, reflecting the respect and consideration that all Employees involved deserved. Hence, the following were assured: (i) 1.7 gross wages for every year of work plus the holidays to be taken during the year, the holiday bonus and the holidays for 2013, (ii) assumption of the cost of health insurance (which covers the household) for one year for Employees aged below 50 years, for two years for Employees aged above 50 years, or the equivalent value in cash, (iii) maintenance of the special interest rate conditions contracted for mortgage loans and social purposes underway and until the end of the contract, (iv) special conditions for the option of amortisation of mortgage loans underway, (v) access to a microcredit line specifically for Employees with a project to start their own business, (v) support by a specialised outplacement company, during one year, for job search or start-up of own business, and (vi) access to Social Security unemployment benefit. The details and implementation of the programme were shared in a continuous manner with the Workers Committee and Unions in order to facilitate the process of support and counselling offered to Employees.
In Poland, 1,049 people left of which 57% went through personal initiative. These layoffs were partially offset by the recruitment of 723 new Employees. In Romania and Greece, the net change in the number of Employees was low – 51 and 26 respectively; in Greece 75% of the people left through personal initiative and in Romania 69% of the people who left their employment at the Bank followed termination by mutual agreement.
In the African operations, the total staff number maintains the trend of growth, with the recruitment of 322 new Employees in Angola and 272 in Mozambique. The majority of the Employees who left their employment in these countries left through their own initiative, with 187 Employees having left in Angola (55% through own initiative) and 217 Employees in Mozambique (61% through own initiative).
Under the initiatives to attract talent, the "Come and Grow With Us" (CGWU) programme was maintained in Portugal, with its 7th Edition taking place in 2012. During this edition, 3,290 young people enrolled to participate in the various CGWU initiatives.

In Greece, 11 Employees participated in the Top Performers programme.
The Employees involved in these development programmes are supervised by a Mentor (senior staff of the Bank) who provides counselling and guidance on their career progression. This focus of the Bank on the Mentoring process continues to create mechanisms to increase proximity between the Employees and top management.
The investment in training continued in 2012, aimed at strengthening Employee skills in a perspective of personal development, increasing service quality levels and maximising efficiency in the services provided to Customers. The programmes implemented in each country were in line with their specific needs and objectives.
In overall terms, 606 thousand hours distributed over 2,266 training actions were given, with an average of 30 training hours per Employee.

A strong component of training for the commercial areas was maintained in all operations. In Portugal, a new programme was launched – Service to Sales – which involved the training of all the Employees, of the branches selected as pilots, whose success was reflected in an increase 4.2 i.p. in overall satisfaction with service, in the satisfaction surveys conducted to Customers.
Following the expansion of the Credit Recovery Area, in Portugal, 5,708 hours of training were given to 445 Employees.
The Legal Department of Millennium bcp, in Portugal, continued to promote the Banking Law conferences, having held 5 sessions in 2012. Close to 200 Employees participated in each of these sessions, and the average assessment, obtained through direct questionnaires completed by the participants on their overall level of satisfaction with the action, was 84%.
In Greece and Romania, training on Anti Money Laundering, Know Your Customer and IT Security was held under the Culture of Rigour programme.
In Angola, the training was transversal to all functions, with approximately 90% of the Employees having been involved in specific training actions.
Millennium bank in Poland launched two training actions in 2012, which include e.learning courses, aimed at all Employees: i) an environmental education programme, "PRO-ECO", aimed at conveying general knowledge on environmental protection and preservation of natural resources, as well as offering advice on behaviour to be adopted at home and at the workplace, in order to minimise environmental impacts, and ii) a programme for the adoption of a healthy life-style, "Recommendation Z", which addresses issues such as the benefits of the regular practice of sports, healthy eating habits and healthy attitudes at the workplace and at home.
The social benefits of each country are applicable, in general, to all the Employees of the respective countries. In Portugal, Employees with a fixed term contract do not have access to the specific conditions of the credit lines for the purchase of their own house or credit for social purposes. Employees working part-time have access to transversal benefits however, whenever these benefits are related to seniority, their value is calculated in proportion to their effective time of employment. This principle of proportionality, for Employees working part-time is also applicable in Romania and Switzerland.

The strengthening of Employees involvement in initiatives beyond the scope of their daily activities has led to the launch of a different challenge to the participants in the Young Specialist programme and to a group of Employees of the Retail Network (of the Ourém branches). Approximately 60 Employees developed a unique and innovative project: a Social Shop. The objective of the shop, which was called "Ponto de Partilha"

and is supported by a website and Facebook page, is to offer a space prepared with essential items (adult and children's clothing, articles for the home, workshops for senior citizens) in order to meet the needs of vulnerable families in the Municipality of Ourém. In partnership with Ourém City Hall, which provided the use of a former primary school in the centre of the Municipality, it was possible to create a welcoming space to receive these families. Two workshops were also held in 2012, organised by Employees of Millennium bcp, dedicated to the topic of "Domestic Management" targeting beneficiaries of Social Insertion Income and the Committee of Protection of Children and Young People of Ourém. The objective of these sessions was to guide people towards an efficient management of the family budget and share experiences on best practices of personal finance management.
Under the partnership with the association Aprender a Empreender – Associação de Jovens Empreendedores de Portugal, aimed at the development of entrepreneurship, a taste for risk-taking, creativity and innovation in the next generations, during the academic year of 2011/2012, 114 Millennium bcp volunteers participated in the following elementary education programmes: "The Family" (1st year), "The Community" (2nd year), "Europe and I" (5th year), "It's my Business" (7th year), "Economy for Success" (9th year), "Banks in Action" (10th year) and "The Company" (12th year). Millennium bcp was one of the Companies selected to test two new Programmes in Portugal: "Europe and I" and "It's my Business", involving 19 volunteers.

The Millennium bcp Foundation continues to be the exclusive sponsor of the Startup Programme of Junior Achievement Portugal, which involved 30 tutors of the Bank during the academic year of 2011/2012 who, with the support and guidance of teachers, provided entrepreneurship training to close to 150 university students of various parts of the country. The role of the Tutor (Millennium bcp volunteer) is fundamental in this initiative and consists of supervising a team of university students in the creation of their own company, sharing with
them the experience of the business world. The N2FIX project of Porto University was the winner of the national final, and in the European competition JA-YE Europe Enterprise Challenge 2012, received the "Responsible Leadership Award", attributed due to presenting the best business plan in terms of financial analysis, innovation, and social and environmental responsibility. The 2012/2013 edition began in November 2012, involving the participation of approximately 20 volunteers.
For the 3rd consecutive year, Millennium bcp joined Microsoft Portugal in yet another initiative as part of "Safe Internet Day". Employees of Microsoft and 29 Bank Employees, together, promoted awarenessraising actions at 1st to 3rd grade schools aimed at a safer and more responsible use of the Internet and Social Networks.

The Direct Banking Department, through its SIM@DBD programme organised various actions over the year for the collection of items – food, clothing, toys, school material – amongst Employees of different Departments, that were donated to the Parish Council of Porto Salvo, which supports around 200 vulnerable families resident in the parish. As a result of this partnership and under the commemoration of the 19th anniversary of the Parish Council, the Direct Banking Department was distinguished with the Solidarity Award. In the food collection campaigns, promoted by the Food Bank, the Direct Banking Department is also responsible for the mobilisation of Millennium bcp Employees for the work carried out at the Lisbon warehouses for the separation of food collected at
supermarkets. In this context, in 2012, approximately 50 people participated in each action, involving Employees and their families. Under the 14th Edition of the Global Contact Centre, this Department received the Social Responsibility Trophy for the work developed in the community.
The IT Department, with the "Green IT" programme, carried out two actions, one of which was an action of sharing amongst Employees - "Book Exchange - IT" - with school manuals having been collected which were reused by the children of the Department's Employees. The second action

started in October 2012 - Winter Campaign - aimed at promoting, amongst Employees, the collection of clothing, blankets and warm garments to donate to Comunidade Vida e Paz. During this action, 600 articles of clothing were raised which were donated at the Christmas party of this Institution.
Millennium bcp in Poland also organised different actions of Employee involvement with the community: i) campaigns for the collection of items were organised involving toys, games, hygiene products and educational/school material, which were donated to the Infants Centre in Kijany, ii) 150 Employees participated in the 8th edition of the ECCO Marathon, the largest "walking" charity event in the world, held in Warsaw, where the total kilometres walked are converted into donations which, this year, were given to the Institutions TVN Foundation "You Are Not Alone", Radio Zet Foundation and the Warsaw Zoo, iii) a campaign to collect plastic bottle caps was organised - "Bottle Cap Mania" - where the funds raised from their sale to a recycling company were donated to the Home-Family-Person Association, for the acquisition of wheelchairs and treatment equipment for disabled people, and iv) under the activities of the "Come and Grow with Us" programme, 16 young people participating in internships held workshops in banking and finance amongst young students of nine universities.
As part of the cooperation of Millennium bank in Poland with the Nikifory programme, in addition to the organisation of the exhibition and annual sale of the work produced by intellectually challenged artists, at the Bank's premises, in 2012, eight Employees participated in an integration workshop, whose objective was to learn how to overcome barriers of communication.
A group of 21 Employees of Millennium bank in Romania participated, during a day, in a voluntary action to support the construction of a house for Habitat for Humanity, in Ploiesti (65 Km from Bucharest). This is the third year that Millennium bank has supported Habitat for Humanity, to help families in difficult economic and social conditions to live in better conditions. The house in Ploiesti is the result of the "A new beginning" project, by Habitat for Humanity, for the construction of houses for

families with low incomes or health problems living in circumstances that lack minimally decent conditions.
Under the "Child's smile - To Hamogelo Tou Paidou" programme, aimed at children who were victims of abuse or abandoned, which Bank Millennium in Greece has supported for five years, Employees were invited to participate in the "Volunteer Chain of Employees" campaign, through the offer of clothes, food and toys.

Employees of Banco Millennium Angola commemorated the "Day of the African Child" (16 June) with around 200 children, aged between 5 and 13 years old. This initiative, included under the "Happy Child" social responsibility programme of Millennium Angola, took place at the Parish of Imaculado Coração de Maria, with the collaboration of various entities, including Caritas de Angola, and participation of children from the different parishes of Luanda in the many recreational activities.
In Mozambique, actions within the community were encouraged with the participation of Employees in the "Responsible Millennium bim" and "A Clean City for Me" programmes:
During 2012, the various processes of listening to Customers were maintained, through which it was possible to monitor the levels of Customer satisfaction with the Bank. The analyses and studies carried out also helped identify a series of challenges and opportunities which led to specific measures, such as the systematisation of new commercial practices and better adjustment of the offer of financial products and services.
In Portugal, the level of overall satisfaction of Customers remained at the value of 80.2 i.p., on a scale of 100.

Regarding Customer satisfaction levels with the Bank's Mobile services, the majority of the attributes was classified above 80 i.p., with a margin for progress being evident in the attributes Response Time (78.8 i.p.) and Help through the Contact Centre (74.4 i.p.). Of the 26% of Customers who refer to using the Mobile Banking of Millennium bcp and other banks, 81% consider that the service is better at Millennium bcp.
The level of overall satisfaction of Customers, in the international operations, declined by 2 i.p., explained by the results of Mozambique in the surveys conducted amongst Prestige Customers, where the result obtained was below 70 i.p.
In Poland, the overall satisfaction levels remained identical to those of 2011 (78 i.p.), where the following was highlighted in the various studies conducted: (i) as strengths: the kindness and knowledge of the Employees and efficiency in the processing of operations, and (ii) as points requiring improvement: swiftness in the approval of credit operations and the need for more competitive pricing in terms of commissions, fees and interest rates.
Customer complaints recorded an overall rise of 8.7%. In Portugal, the 17.1% increase was mainly due to the values of expenses and commissions related to current accounts and the value of the annuity and payment orders of credit cards. In the international operations, Poland continues to be the country with the highest number of complaints presented (48,177), where the processing of transfers and cards are the main motives of complaint. The two countries with the largest variation in number of complaints presented, between 2011 and 2012, were: i) Greece which recorded a decrease of 19.8%, and ii) Mozambique which had an increase of 15.4%.

Millennium bcp provides a complete and broad range of financial products and services, and, in the development of its business lines, is responsible for offering products and services that incorporate social principles and respect for the environment.
During 2012, Millennium bcp reiterated its commitment to Microcredit activity. In order to mitigate the difficulties arising from the current context of increasing unemployment and extreme difficulty of entry of university graduates into the labour market, the Microcredit unit defined its approximation to the population as a strategic priority, in order to ensure that as many people as possible receive information on a potential alternative to support own job creation. As a result: i) close to 300 meetings were held with institutions, namely entities with local intervention amongst the most vulnerable populations and Polytechnic Institutes and Universities, ii) the unit participated in approximately 160 events to promote employment, and iii) signed 12 cooperation protocols to promote entrepreneurship.
In order to publicise the best projects and encourage new entrepreneurs to implement their ideas:
the "Realizar" – Microcredit and Entrepreneurship Award was created, aimed at distinguishing the entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, innovation and dynamism of Millennium bcp micro-entrepreneurs. Two awards were given - Dynamism and Innovation, and Best Implementation – of 5,000 euros as well as four honourable mentions, each with an award worth 1,000 euros;
In adittion to its commercial activity, Millennium bcp Microcredit is part of the Board of the EMB - European Microfinance Network, as a corporate member and participates in the working party of this entity which is preparing an analysis of the growth of microfinance in Europe. During 2012, the unit also supported the participation of an Employee in the "Bankers without Borders" project, a voluntary work programme of the Grameen Foundation, with over 5,000 professionals all over the world who offer their time, experience and technical know-how to support microcredit institutions operating amongst the most vulnerable populations at a worldwide level. This Employee developed her voluntary work in Varanasi, in India.
During 2012, Millennium bcp Microcredit financed 259 new operations, with 3.1 million euros of total credit granted, having helped to create 371 jobs.
With the objective of continuing to support Customers, as a form of prevention of default on credit liabilities, the "Financial Advisory Service for Individuals" solutions have been strengthened, giving a greater range of application and flexibility, proposing to Customers the solution that is most suited to their available budget, through the consolidation of debt, expansion of repayment periods or restructuring of payment plans under more advantageous conditions. In the case of Individual Customers during 2012, 13,284 Customers were supported, with 27,098 contractual amendments having been made (8,703 mortgage loans and 18,395 consumer credit loans), with a restructuring value of 646 million euros (537 million euros in real estate loans and 109 million euros in consumer credit).
In the financial sphere, for students who intend to pursue an academic career, in 2012 the Bank attributed the entirety of the ceiling defined under the University Credit Line with Mutual Guarantee. This credit line establishes interest rate conditions that are very favourable and may be reduced, since they are indexed to the grades achieved by the students. Since the entry into force of the protocol in 2007, 1,480 loans have been granted to a total of 11.55 million de euros. During 2012, 137 new loans were contracted to a total value of 1.24 million euros.
Millennium bcp closed 2012 in a position of leadership in the number of companies supported under the SME Growth line, specifically in the Micro and Small Enterprises sub-line with a share of the number of operations of 15.4% in this segment.
The Points Programme of Millennium bcp cards awards points for the use of the Millennium bcp Gold and Classic Twins credit cards. During 2012, part of these points was materialised in donations, worth approximately 11 thousand euros, given to various social solidarity institutions, including UNICEF, the Portuguese League Against Cancer, Caritas, O Gaiato, Acreditar and AMI's Portugal Reforestation Programme, upholding the commitment of solidarity of the Bank and card holders to those most in need.
Younger Customers of Millennium bcp now benefit from the ZON Lusomundo offer and partnership. Young people up to the age of 17 years old, when buying a cinema ticket at ZON Lusomundo cinemas with their Millennium bcp Free Junior card, receive a 2nd ticket free of charge for the chosen film, as has already been the case for holders of Millennium bcp Prestige, GO!, Classic, Gold and M Salary credit cards. During 2012, over 120 thousand Customers benefited from the Millennium bcp offer of cinema tickets.
Throughout 2012, the use of the digital statement continued to be promoted, with the double objective of reducing paper consumption and offering improved Customer service, by making it more accessible, practical and faster. The number of customers receiving their bank statement in digital format grew by approximately 6% relative to 2011.
During 2012, ActivoBank offered Customers 22 investment funds which incorporate social responsibility criteria, of which 8 are ethical funds and 14 are environmental funds. Of these 22 funds, 15 had subscriptions, by December 2012, and the total portfolio represented around 1% of the total portfolio of funds, with approximately 1 million euros subscribed.
Banco Millennium Angola, as a result of the deposits attracted under the Woman Saving Plan where, for every 1,000 USA invested by Customers, the Bank donated 10 USD, resulting in a donation of approximately 4.2 million kwanzas to the Women Against Breast Cancer Foundation.
During 2012, the plan for the evolution and consolidation of policies, procedures and mechanisms of control and monitoring of matters associated to the prevention and combat of money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML/CTF) continued.
Using risk-based approach, the optimisation of new software for monitoring entities and operations (Actimize) enabled higher quality in control procedures and broader coverage of the topics in the classification of detected operations. As a result the Customer Due Diligence (CDD) information has improved substantially and the transaction profiles that are obtained correspond to a more suitable work base.
In accordance with the regulations in force, the Bank entrusted the Compliance Office with the duty to supervise and validate all the advertising material, isolated or included in promotional and information product or service campaigns marketed by the Group. The duties of information and transparency in the advertising of financial products and services have been gradually incorporated by the Communication and Marketing Departments, and in 2012 there was a generalised trend of compliance with these duties by the Departments involved, should be noted that in terms of penalties, the BCP Group had no administrative offence proceedings by the Bank of Portugal or the CMVM.
Preventing non-compliance by Employees requires ongoing training and an information plan on relevant matters, which has been achieved with specific training plans and, in general, through the Culture of Rigour programme, started in 2010.

The strategic objectives defined by the Compliance Office include growing interaction between the parent company and local Compliance Offices in the international operations, and the process of implementation of the Actimize monitoring software, in conformity with the approved plan. For the next two years, plans have been laid for consolidating the involvement of the Compliance Office in process, product and service risk assessment functions and in Employee training.
Note should also be made of the relations of cooperation and loyalty upheld with the judicial authorities, both concerning national and international behavioural supervisory authorities.

The prevention and mitigation of the risk of fraud, as well as the detection and investigation of situations or attempts of fraud, internal or external, and the conduct and follow-up of any disciplinary or judicial proceedings resulting thereof, are a priority in the allocation of the Audit Department's resources. In adittion, all claims, complaints or denouncement of situations indicating socially inappropriate behaviour of Employees, whether amongst one another or relative to Customers, are also analysed and investigated, resulting in disciplinary procedures whenever justified.
The Coordinating Director of the Audit Department is responsible for the coordination of the internal audit function in all subsidiaries of the BCP Group, promoting the harmonisation of procedures and criteria of analysis and sharing of knowledge.
Regarding the prevention, detection and analysis of potential situations of fraud, during 2012, 121 preventative control routines were carried out, which led to around 500 individual analyses of potentially anomalous situations. As a result of the analyses conducted by the Department and of irregular situations reported by other organic units of the Bank, during 2012, the Audit Department completed 367 preliminary investigation procedures. During this same year, 36 disciplinary proceedings of the Bank's Employees in Portugal were concluded, with 14 proceedings still underway at the end of the year. None of these cases involved situations of corruption. Regarding the programmes of audits of the networks, particular note should be made of the procedures of prevention and detection of practices which might indicate money laundering.
As an integral part of the implementation of its Activities Plan, the Audit Department also analysed matters relative to environmental and social management practices arising from or related to the object of each specific audit. In the audits conducted in person to branches, the respective programmes include the assessment of the conditions of hygiene and maintenance of the premises and respect for the recycling policies adopted at the Bank, with recommendations and corrections being issued whenever flaws are detected.
Involvement with local communities is one of the vectors of the social policy of the BCP Group, which is public and available for consultation on the Bank's Institutional website, and whose objective is, in a manner complementing its activity, the promotion of yet another vehicle for the economic and social development of the countries in which the Bank operates. In 2011, the monetary values allocated to the surrounding community were distributed as follows: 32% for Education, 49% for Culture and 19% for Charity.
In Portugal, the Millennium bcp Foundation and in Mozambique, the "More Mozambique for Me" programme, have developed a vast number of specific social support and interaction activities.

DONATIONS ALLOCATED FOR INTERVENTION AREA
The Millennium bcp Foundation selects the projects and initiatives to be supported based on criteria which cover, amongst others, the innovation of the projects, the merit and specialisation of the institutions in their respective areas of action, the impact of the actions on society, multi-annual nature of the initiatives, geographical coverage and capacity of self-sustainability.
The main projects developed and supported by the Millennium bcp Foundation for the promotion of culture were:
Following this logic, an application was also created for mobile access to the kiosk for Apple and Android.
In the area of Science and Education, the Millennium bcp study grant programme continued, aimed at students from Portuguese-speaking African countries and Timor (PALOP), which supported the grants of 22 students during the academic year of 2011/2012. Seeking to participate in the promotion of quality education and constant expansion of access to education, the Foundation also supported grant programmes of other institutions and universities, such as: i) partnership with Millennium bim to award grants to young people of low income and demonstrated academic merit. Three grants were awarded in the current academic year; ii) protocol with Banco Millennium Angola to support the grant programme for Angolan university students attending courses, in Angola, of Economics, Management, Business Administration, Accountancy, Auditing, Bank Management, Law, Computer Engineering and Computerised Management Information. Some 16 candidates were chosen; iii) Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Faculty of Law – Support to three foreign students of the Master of Laws; iv) Universidade Católica Portuguesa – Faculty of Economics and Business Studies – Study grants for the Lisbon MBA; v) Institute of Banking Law, Stock Markets and Insurance (BBS): Support to Post-Graduation in Banking Law, in collaboration with the Faculty of Law of Coimbra University, vi) Institute for Legal Cooperation – Masters Course in Legal Economics at Eduardo Mondlane Law School in Mozambique. The impact of the Foundation's support is reflected in the continuity of the course, previously non-existent in the Mozambican market, and in the respective expansion and differentiation of the education offer in Mozambique. As a long term benefit, this is expected to narrow the gap arising from the lack of professional lawyers specialised in the financial area, foster know-how in the areas of banking regulation and supervision, introduce improvements in conditions for academic careers and enhance the quality of higher education.
The presence of the Foundation as patrons of educational projects is also marked in entrepreneurship, sustainability and other forms of transfer of knowledge:
This year, the support given to scientific projects was reinforced, with protocols having been signed with:
The Millennium bcp Foundation also supported a variety of institutions and initiatives in the area of social action, as well as projects addressing situations of social and economic vulnerability, disabled people, and actions in the area of health. The following are particularly noteworthy:
Millennium bim, under the "More Mozambique for Me" programme, selects projects aimed at supporting education, as well as children's and youth sports. During 2012, the main activities developed were:
Banco Millennium Angola, under its social responsibility actions:
Converted the sum usually spent on Christmas presents into a donation to Cáritas Angola for the construction of a house in Cacuaco where it will be possible to house, feed and educate vulnerable children.
In Poland, the following initiatives were supported:
In all its operations, Millennium bcp continues to favour a procurement process involving Suppliers from the respective country, where all operations record a value above 85%. In Portugal the value of 92% is in line with the figures recorded for the last three years, and in the international operations the value increased slightly by 1.4 i.p. to 89% relative to 2011, due to increased acquisition from local suppliers in Mozambique.
In most countries, 30 days is established contractually as the period of payment. Overall, the periods were respected.
In Portugal and Poland, the main suppliers of the Bank are companies which publish their environmental and social performance, while Millennium bcp in Portugal includes, for companies which do not publish specific information, an appendix to the procurement contracts - "Principles of the Suppliers" -, which establish requirements of action in the context of labour, social and environmental practices. The appraisal regularly conducted by the Bank to the Suppliers includes a set of parameters of appraisal of the level of compliance with these principles.
The results of the appraisal, carried out in Portugal, reveal a good level in the provision of services and sale of products to the Bank with an overall performance of 80%, representing a positive evolution of 3 p.p. relative to the previous survey. Actions for improvement were proposed for approximately 10% of the Suppliers assessed and contracts were terminated with around 2%.
The efficiency of the operations, one of the pillars of the Bank's strategic vision, continued to guide the investment made, with the objective of reducing the Bank's ecological footprint. As was the case in the previous year, in 2012 the investment in the reduction of the Bank's ecological footprint was based on three complementary pillars:

The Employees play an essential role in the pursuit of higher efficiency levels, both through the diagnosis and reporting of inefficiencies, and via the implementation of the Bank's policies, practices and projects.
As the Bank reaches higher levels of efficiency, it becomes increasingly more relevant to implement differentiating practices which encourage the Employees to reduce consumption with environmental impact. In 2012, the Bank implemented a series of projects for the purpose of involving and changing the behaviour of the Employees, with the following being of special relevance:
Supported by careful cost/benefit analyses, in 2012, the Bank invested in the reduction of its energy, water and paper expenditure in Portugal, Poland and Greece, without loss of Customer satisfaction.
In Portugal, the plan was continued in terms of replacement of conventional lamps with LED lamps, replacement of lighting ballasts, replacement of ventilation and air-conditioned heating with more efficient equipment and the installation of capacitor batteries to correct the power factor. All these measures, implemented in the branches and buildings during 2012, enabled an estimated saving of 1,529,369 KWh, which represents 2% of the total Bank's electricity consumption in this geography.
In terms of the optimisation of water consumption, identified as a priority, the programme of installation of economizers in all water taps of the Millennium bcp buildings in Tagus Park was completed, with an estimated saving of 30% in the water consumption at these locations.
In Poland, the investment focused on the replacement of 700 computers with new models which consume 30% less power than the previous models. In terms of the lighting of the exterior signs of the branches, the conventional lamps were replaced with LED lamps. The Computer Cloud, implemented in Portugal in 2011, which consists of the use of Cloud Computing in the environment of development of technological solutions supporting the business, was expanded to Poland in 2012. This project is estimated to ensure 20% saving in the power consumption of the data centres.
In Greece, the investment concentrated on the installation of systems which enable the automatic switching off of lighting and AVAC systems at pre-established times in all buildings of the Bank. This initiative has already been implemented successfully in other geographical areas.
Launched as a pilot project in 2011, Verdiem was extended to all branches and central units of Millennium bcp in Portugal and Poland during 2012. This project implied an investment in the installation of a technological solution which enables the centralised management of computer equipment, placing them in stand-by mode and off-mode during periods of non-use, thus efficiently eliminating power consumption and consequent greenhouse gases, for a total number of around 16 thousand Millennium bcp Employees. With this project it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the computer equipment by about 33%.
Aiming to maximize the dematerialization of documents, the Bank continued to invest in communicating the benefits of statements and debit/credit notes in digital format for Customers. On Arbor Day, a campaign involving all employees of commercial networks was conducted to encourage the use of this service by the Customers, clearly showing its advantages. In 2012, the debit/credit notes and digital statement issued in digital format represented respectively 87.8% and 40.7% of the total.
"Ser Lean DO", a programme focused on the continued improvement of processes, increased quality and cost-cutting, covered all the divisions of the Operations Department and three other areas of the Bank in 2012: i) Retail Credit Area, ii) Retail Monitoring Area, iii) Customer Assistance Centre. This programme currently involves a total of 700 Employees of the Bank, in Portugal. In 2012, a computer application was developed to support the continuous improvement where 50 Employees of the Operations Department were trained to play the role of agents of change (Lean Agents). Through these agents and the Lean methodology, which seeks to optimise processes and reduce waste, 518 activities of 55 processes in which the Operation Department is involved were analysed. This analysis resulted in over 1,400 initiatives to eliminate redundancies and inefficiencies, which led to an estimated reduction of paper consumption of 1.5 million sheets of paper per year in the Operations Department. In the rest of the areas of the Bank which were covered by this programme, it was possible to identify and prioritise the efficiency measures to be implemented in the future.
In order to minimise electricity energy consumption, Millennium bcp strengthened the implementation of measures which enabled an estimated saving of 3,667,671 KWh, representing 4.9% of the Bank's total electricity consumption in this geography, in 2012. The principal measures which contributed to this reduction were: i) reduction of the period of operation of the lighting of the branches, ii) reduction of the period of operation of the AVAC systems, and iii) optimisation of the "Set Point" of the AVAC systems.
In order to minimise the consumption of fuel and consequent greenhouse gas emissions: i) the programme of reduction of the motor power of the vehicles in the vehicle fleet was continued, ii) the collective transport services for the Employees was maintained, and iii) the use of the available means at the Bank to hold video and audio conferences continued to be encouraged, thus replacing travel and journeys to meetings, which implied expanding the webex licenses and providing new software and hardware equipment. As a result, with these two last measures, the Bank increased the use of collective transport services by 8% and recorded the participation of 4,905 Millennium bcp Employees in webex sessions.
In terms of water consumption, as was the case in previous years, the period of irrigation of green areas was adjusted to the season of the year, which enabled an estimated saving of 20% of irrigation water at Tagus Park.
In Poland, the Bank conducted energy audits of the 98 branches with highest power consumption, enabling a diagnosis of the sources and waste of consumption, facilitating the communication and planning of the changes to be made to structures and processes over the next few years. Furthermore, the Bank replaced 175 cars of the Bank's fleet, with new cars that pollute less. Regarding paper consumption in Poland, the layout and text of forms and drafts that are most frequently used were optimised, for the purpose of reducing paper consumption.
In Greece and Romania, the Bank, similarly to the measures implemented in Portugal, started to change the period of operation of the lighting of the branches, in order to optimise consumption without affecting the service offered to Customers.
During 2012 the Bank improved its ecological footprint with respect to consumption per Employee of electricity and paper, which fell by 3.9% and 13.4% respectively. In the opposite direction, greenhouse gas emissions per Employee increased by 16.0%, due to the higher consumption of thermal power in Poland and the consumption of fuel for the production of electric power in Angola. In the same way water consumption per Employee increased by 2.3%, due to Poland.
The consumption of indirect energy by Millennium bcp includes the electric and thermal power used by all the Bank's branches and administrative buildings. In 2012, the consumption of indirect power increased by 3.4% relative to 2011, due to an increase of 68.9% of thermal power in Poland, explained by the particularly harsh winter experienced in this geographic region. In spite of this increase, electric power consumption declines by 4.8% relative to the values recorded in 2011, as a result of the efficiency measures implemented.
The Bank's direct energy use, which includes diesel, petrol and natural gas consumption, increased by 6.7%, especially due to the higher consumption of diesel in Mozambique (135%) and the values recorded in Portugal for natural gas which increased by 12.7% relative to 2011. In Portugal, natural gas is an energy source for the production of the cogeneration plant which supplies 15.3% of the total consumption of electricity in this geography. Natural gas also provides the boilers installed in several Bank buildings, which produce thermal energy for heating. The variation in natural gas consumption in Portugal was due to the longer period of operation of boilers, a result of the biggest heating needs. The production of energy in cogeneration plant and boiler minimises the risk of interruptions in the supply of fundamental power services which ensure the safety and sustainability of the Institution's operations.
Reflecting the net change in the Bank's energy consumption, context 1 and 2 emissions increased by 5.7% and 8.5%, respectively. The exacerbation of scope 2 indirect emissions also reflect the aggravation of the emission factor (indicator supplied by the energy regulator) associated to the purchase of electric and thermal power.
On the other hand, scope 3 indirect emissions, which arise from employee travel by airplane, train and home-work-home journeys, declined by 3.6%. The lower number of airplane and train journeys taken by the Employees were key to this reduction.

In Poland and Greece, a reduction of 17.4% was recorded in the waste produced, and in Romania a marginal increase of 0.4%.

Millennium bcp has published Sustainability Reports since 2004, on an annual basis (Report of Social Responsibility in 2004).
The Responsible Business reporting, included in this report and the information provided online, seeks to address the principal material topics identified by the Stakeholders, in observance of the guidelines established by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), version 3.1. for level A+ and its respective financial sector supplement, the principles of inclusion, material relevance and response of Standard AA1000APS (2008). The data reported for the year were examined by an external entity in conformity with the principles defined by the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000.
The scope of the reporting is international, and covers: social indicators – Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania, Mozambique, Angola and Switzerland; environmental indicators - Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania, Mozambique and Angola.
In 2012 the reporting of Angola's environmental indicators began. In order to maintain the comparability of the analyses carried out, all changes made between 2011 and 2012, in absolute value, presented in the ecological footprint exclude data from Angola. In all values, expressed per Employee, we have included data from Angola allowing analysis of the Bank's performance in this domain.
The calculation criteria used, the table of GRI indicators and the correspondence with the Global Compact Principles are available for consultation at the Bank's institutional website.
The General Meeting of Shareholders of Banco Comercial Português, held on 28 February 2012, approved the amendment and restructuring of the articles of association, including the adoption of a one-tier management and supervisory model, composed of a Board of Directors and respective Executive Committee (the Bank's current management body), an Audit Committee (with non-executive members only accordint to the law), and Statutory Auditor. An International Strategic Board was also created for the purpose of ensuring the development of the international expansion strategy of the Bank and Group, entrusted with the analysis and reflection on this strategy, and supervision of its evolution and implementation.
During this same General Meeting, the members of the new boards and governing bodies were elected for the term of office of 2012-2014. As a result of the Recapitalisation Plan adopted by the Bank, and under the legally established terms, the State, on 3 December 2012, appointed two non-executive members to the Board of Directors to perform duties during the period of the public investment to strengthen the Bank's own funds. The Annual Report of Banco Comercial Português includes a description of the activity performed by non-executive directors, which is detailed in the Corporate Governance Report. It is worth mentioning that non-executive directors encountered no constraints to their corporate activity.

ORGANISATIONAL CHART OF THE COMPANY'S CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MODEL
REFORMULATION OF THE ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Millennium bcp carried out a reformulation of its organisational structure in December 2012.
The adaptation of the Bank's structures to the needs and circumstances of the market context was the main objective of this restructuring, reflected in an increase of organisational efficiency through the streamlining of the structure, with a lower number of leadership positions, higher span-of-control, less fragmentation of areas, resizing of the central support structure and elimination of duplication of competences. As a result, the Bank's management structure has become lighter, enabling greater proximity between the employees and top leadership, increased team's responsability and facilitating some renewal of the leadership. The alterations had an impact across the organisation, both in the commercial areas and central services, and lead to small changes in the Director's areas of responsibility.
The new organisational model involved a resizing of staff levels in line with average productivity benchmarks in the sector, the optimisation of the Retail network and focus on the Marketing function, a new management model in the companies to simplify their structure, an adjustment of the corporate banking model to promote synergies between business and geographic areas, and the rationalisation of the central and corporate areas, capturing functional synergies.
In terms of the areas reporting directly to the Executive Committee, the main changes involved the integration, into current departments, of the Financial Holdings Department, Specialised Credit Department, M Project, General Secretariat, Cards Department, Interfundos, Prevention and Safety Office, and the Regional Departments of Madeira and Azores. The Quality Department was merged with the Network Support Department and financial areas into a single department, aggregating the Budgetary Planning and Control Department, ALM Department and Research Office. At the same time, the following departments were created through the autonomisation of functions: Corporate Marketing Department, Cost Control Department, Department of Residents Abroad and Large Corporates Department.

The persistence of global macroeconomic distortions and the uncertainty relative to the path of economic policy were reflected in a slowdown of world economic growth in 2012, from 3.9% to 3.2%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) data. During 2013, it is expected that the performance of the world economy will continue to be constrained by debt reduction in most of the industrialised countries, as well as by the correction of the distortions that affect some of the main emerging economies. Even so, the IMF foresees a modest acceleration of world GDP (3.3%), mainly explained by the prospect of clarification of the monetary and fiscal policy perspectives in the United States of America (USA) and in the euro zone.
The worsening of the sovereign debt crisis led the euro zone into a new period of recession in 2012 which was reflected in a GDP contraction of 0.6%, compared with the growth of 1.4% in 2011. In this context of deterioration of the economic situation and resurgence of tensions in the financial markets, the risks of disintegration of the euro were heightened, requiring the announcement of additional measures. The beneficial effect of these measures on the confidence of economic agents should contribute to a stabilisation of the economy of the euro zone, which, however, will remain constrained in its capacity to expand
GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH REMAINS MODERATE Annual growth rate of real GDP (in %)

due to the fiscal consolidation measures and structural reforms underway.
In the USA, the recovery of economic activity has progressed at moderate pace, though insufficient to allow a sustained improvement of the labour market, leading the Federal Reserve to reinforce the level of accommodation of its monetary policy. During 2013, concerns about the sustainability of public finances constitute the strongest obstacle to a swifter recovery of the American economy.

In 2012, the emerging economies recorded modest growth rates due to the weakening of external demand and, in some cases, the need to correct domestic macroeconomic imbalances. The policies which have been implemented in this group of economies should confer greater resilience to external shocks, which may be translated into a slight acceleration of economic activity in 2013.
The performance of international financial markets in 2012 was characterised by high volatility, arising from the fragility of global economic activity and the uncertainty associated with the sovereign debt crisis of the euro zone and the course of the fiscal policy in the USA. These circumstances pressured the world authorities to strengthen monetary policy measures in order to restore confidence in the financial markets, which favourably influenced the evolution of the main asset classes in the 2nd half of the year.
In this context, in spite of the considerable fluctuations in risk aversion sentiment, global stock markets closed 2012 with reasonable gains (around 14%), with the performance of the European banking sector having been particularly noteworthy, spurred by the measures to enhance the robustness of the financial sector that were announced by the European authorities.
In the foreign exchange market, the trend of depreciation of the euro observed in the 1st half reversed after the announcement of a series of measures by the European Central Bank (ECB) to safeguard the integrity of the euro zone. In the USA and Japan, the

implementation of monetary policy was reflected in the depreciation of the respective currencies.
As in all other markets, the widespread announcement of additional monetary stimulus was determinant for the favourable performance of fixed income asset, which, however, was not uniform throughout the year. Indeed, the instability enduredby the European debt markets during the 1st half ultimately gave rise to a movement of sustained reduction of the risk premia of the debt of the peripheral countries of the euro zone, to the stabilisation of the yields of German and USA government bonds at historically very low levels, and to the strong performance of the private debt market.
In a context where the world economic activity should show modest growth rates in 2013, and where the sovereign debt crisis of the euro zone and the future direction of the fiscal policy of the USA constitute important risk factors, the behaviour of global financial markets should continue subject to considerable levels of uncertainty and volatility.
During 2012, the evolution of the Portuguese economy continued to be dominated by the adjustment process taking place as a result of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme (PAEF). Despite being crucial for the reduction of the high levels of indebtedness and the promotion of the long term potential of wealth generation of the national productive structure, in the immediate term, this adjustment has exerted a recessive effect of considerable magnitude. The fiscal consolidation measures, added to the reduction of private expenditure as a result of the deterioration in economic
and financial prospects, led to a significant cutback in domestic demand, which has been reflected in an expressive contraction of the production levels of the non-tradable sector, in particular construction. In marked contrast, the export sector has shown a notable recovery, benefiting from benign external circumstances and noticeable gains in competitiveness associated, above all, with the decline in unit labour costs. This trend, combined with the strong fall in imports, has enabled an expressive improvement of the external trade balance of Portugal. To summarise, economic activity is likely to have contracted by some 3.2% in 2012, after the decrease of 1.6% recorded in 2011.

For 2013, it is expected that the recessive context will be maintained, albeit with a lower intensity than that observed in the previous year, in view of the perspective of easing of the rate of contraction of internal demand. Nevertheless, Portugal's economic situation remains shrouded in uncertainty. Internally, the focus of concern lies with the impact of the enormous rise of taxation on private consumption and investment, in a context where the public expenditure cannot play its traditional role ofautomatic stabiliser. Externally, the main risks reside in the possibility of setbacks in the resolution of the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis, which would not only affect foreign demand directed at the Portuguese economy, but would also aggravate financial conditions in Portugal.
In the financial area 2012, while challenging, ended in the undeniable improvement of the liquidity and capitalisation levels of the main national financial institutions. This evolution was largely determined by the unconventional monetary policy decisions of the ECB, as well as the recapitalisation effort undertaken by Portuguese banks, in some cases resorting to State support. The Banking Union project, whose purpose includes to break the connection between the specific risk of each bank and the risk of the respective sovereign, has proven to be a fundamental element in sustaining the progress achieved so far. As a corollary of the recovery of confidence in the financial system, the risk premia associated with the debt of Portuguese issuers, both in the public sphere and the private sector have fallen significantly. Even so, important challenges remain as a result of the intrinsic connection between the performance of the banking system and that of the economy as a whole.
The recessive context of the last few years has been reflected accordingly in the profitability of national banks, both via the decline in the level of banking activity and through the deterioration of credit quality. Added to these factors is the compression of the net interest income inherent to the continued reduction of euro interest rates. However, the sharp fall in the profitability of the domestic business has been mitigated by the sustained growth of the net income from the international operations.
In spite of the risks and challenges to the activity and the scarcity of funding, the banking system will continue focused on adjusting its business model to the requirements of the economic adjustment process underway, namely by supporting investment in the most critical sectors for economic development and by encouraging the domestic savings required for the structural reduction of the external funding needs, without neglecting the financial strength requirements, which have become stricter in the new regulatory system.
The levels of extreme instability that Greece faced in 2012, triggered by the uncertainty related to its permanence in the euro zone had a significant impact on economic activity which contracted by 6.4%. During 2013, the adverse effects of the fiscal consolidation measures on household income, the restrictions to bank credit, the rise in the unemployment rate and the risks of political and social instability should contribute to the continuation of a recessive environment in Greece, albeit more mitigated.
After two years of strong growth, a period in which it stood out as one of the most dynamic economies in the European Union, the Polish economy recorded a significant slowdown in 2012 due to the dissipation of the positive contributions of infrastructure projects, as well as the impact of the deterioration of the labour market on private consumption. The moderation of the rate of expansion of activity should extend into 2013, given the climate of weak growth in the euro zone, the on-going process of domestic fiscal consolidation, and the moderation of wage growth. The fall of inflation, induced by internal and external factors, gives the Polish central bank some room to increase the degree of accommodation of monetary policy.
In 2012, the Romanian economy expanded at a much lower rate than that observed in the previous year, reflecting the reduction of external demand and the impact of the adverse weather conditions on the supply of agricultural products. However, the evolution of investment was particularly positive. For 2013, an acceleration of activity is expected, based on the positive effects of the reforms undertaken on the labour market and on the external competitiveness of the Romanian economy, with a favourable impact on private consumption, investment and exports. The likely persistence of inflationary risks constitutes a restriction to the reduction of interest rates.
The available estimates suggest that the rate of growth of the Mozambican economy has remained robust. The strong performance of the mining industry, especially with respect to coal, has offset the slowdown of agricultural production. Inflation remained at historically low levels, benefiting from the benign behaviour of import prices and the stabilisation of some regulated prices. In 2013, the implementation of infrastructure projects with potential to boost the capacity of the mining industry should ensure the continued buoyancy of activity. The consequent increase of inflationary pressures might lead to greater restrictiveness in monetary policy.
The Angolan economy continued to show the vigour that, over the last decade, has positioned it as an economic power-house in Sub-Saharan Africa. As in the past, the buoyancy of the activity in 2012 was strongly influenced by the robust oil sector, whose production increased to the highest level of the last
two years. The expansion of oil revenues and the satisfactory implementation of the adjustment programme supported by the IMF led to a significant improvement in the fiscal framework. The non-oil sector, with a more moderate but still robust performance continued to benefit from the impulse conferred by public investment. The downward trend of inflation over the entire year allowed the government to achieve the 10% target. For 2013, a slowdown in oil activity is expected, meaning a likely deceleration of GDP.

The extremely adverse macroeconomic context arising from the persistence of the economic and financial crisis which began in 2007 has brought new challenges to banking activity. During 2012, with the aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis in the Euro Zone, especially in the peripheral member states of the Euro, the environment in which banks develop their activity has further deteriorated. It is expected that the extremely demanding economic conditions will continue during 2013 in the peripheral countries and especially in Portugal, as a result of the maintenance of the recessive environment, rising unemployment, reduction of disposable family income, and deflationary pressures on the economy operating on the market of products and services, real estate and on wages. This combination of factors is likely to continue to constrain banking activity.
In Portugal, 2012 was marked by the implementation of the bank recapitalisation programme and by a climate of growing austerity, imposed by the Economic and Financial Adjustment Programme (PAEF), agreed in May 2011. 2013 will be marked by the continuation of the deleveraging process (lower volumes) and, simultaneously, efforts will be developed to recover profitability in a context of increased default and past due loans. 2013 will also be characterised by the implementation of the restructuring plan agreed with the European Commission, for the banks which received public investment.
The banks at a European level were confronted with higher regulatory requirements, namely with respect to the strengthening of solvency levels in 2012. In December 2011, the European Banking Authority (EBA) issued a recommendation appealing to the National Authorities to request, from the selected banks, an exceptional and temporary buffer to ensure the achievement of a minimum level of 9% for their Core Tier 1 ratio by June 2012. Most of the banks complied with this target and Portuguese banks were no exception. However, over the coming years the banks will have to adapt to a much more complex and demanding regulatory framework (transition to Basel III).
The recapitalisation of Portuguese banks and the management of a demanding deleveraging process, agreed under the PAEF, developed in a particularly adverse macroeconomic context have contributed to the deterioration of profitability and efficiency indicators. Return on equity has fallen in a widespread manner, to stand below the cost of capital and the Cost-to-Income indicator has started on an upward trend. Banks are also faced with the deterioration of the quality of their assets and consequent reinforcement of allocations for impairment. As a result, banking institutions have seen a progressive decline in stock market capitalisation, as a result of the downward revision of prospects for the generation of earnings in the future and downgrade of their ratings.
The global economic environment continues to generate volatility and risk aversion on the part of international investors and led to the closure of the wholesale funding markets, making the European banking system more vulnerable and dependent on financing obtained from the European Central Bank (ECB). In this context and with the objective of replacing short term funding, the banking institutions decided on the massive use of long term refinancing operations (LTRO) in order to limit the pressures on their liquidity.
Even if Portugal complies with the targets of the memorandum, the scale and scope of the financial assistance received by the country might not be sufficient to ensure the return of the Republic to market funding in 2013, which limits the options open to Portuguese banks. Portuguese banks remain dependent on the willingness of the ECB to continue to supply the funding needs of European banks, in particular of the peripheral countries, in an unlimited form.
These circumstances should continue to be pervasive during 2013, creating pressures towards the reformulation of the business models of banks and organisational restructuring. Moreover, the changes in regulations on the structure of the banking sector have given rise to new measures aimed at restricting the activities developed in terms of investment banking and global finance, re-segmenting domestic operations and adjusting the banks to the new interbank funding system.
In this context, Millennium has successively implemented a vast series of measures and initiatives with a view to strengthening its capital base, namely concerning the levels of share capital and own funds, including liability management operations, asset management and transfer of Pension Fund liabilities to Social Security. The underwriting of hybrid instruments that qualify as Core Tier I capital by the State, on 29 June 2012, to the total value of 3,000 million euros, and the successful share capital operation through new cash entries, intended for subscription by its shareholders in the exercise of their legal preemptive right, of a total amount of 500 million euros, in October of the same year, reflect compliance with the priority of financial solidity, defined in the management agenda for 2012.
However, the issue of hybrid instruments poses new challenges for the management of net interest income and commissions, operating costs and allocations for impairment.
In 2012, BCP prepared and presented to the Government a restructuring plan, required by national law and by the applicable European rules on matters of State assistance, which was formally submitted by the State to the European Commission, in observance of the maximum period of six months after the approval of the respective Order number 8840-B/2012 of the Minister of State and Finance, on 28 June 2012. The final version of the restructuring plan which will be approved might contain an additional series of measures, on top of those already established in the Recapitalisation Plan, pursuant to the decision of the Commission which authorises the general recapitalisation regime of credit institutions in Portugal and of the Implementing Order. The restructuring plan referred to above will have to (i) demonstrate the Bank's long term without any assistance from the State; (ii) demonstrate the contribution that the Bank and its shareholders have provided and shall provide to support the necessary efforts of recapitalisation and restructuring of the Bank; and (iii) define measures to limit any potential unfair competition arising from the public assistance that the Bank has received from the Portuguese Republic. To this extent, and in addition to that already foreseen in the Recapitalisation Plan and above-mentioned Order number 8840-B/2012 of the Minister of State and Finance, on 28 June 2012, the restructuring plan might need to establish an extra series of measures and conditions associated with the approval of the public investment by the European Commission, namely possible commitments of a behavioural and/or structural nature.
BCP believes that the conditions currently established in the Recapitalisation Plan and in Order number 8840-B/2012 of the Minister of State and Finance, on 28 June 2012, which approved the public investment stipulated in the Recapitalisation Plan, as well as in the annexes of both documents, and the additional management measures that the Bank has already considered, are balanced and in proportion, particularly in view of the exogenous factors and transitory nature which justify resorting to public investment, the Bank's management model and investment strategy and, furthermore, the measures of reinforcement of solidity which the Bank has successively adopted over the last few years. Nevertheless, there is still uncertainty regarding the extent of the restructuring that the Bank will have to carry out and on the precise content of the restructuring plan which will be approved by the European Commission.
In September 2012, BCP presented a Strategic Plan composed of three phases for the next 5 years: i) Strengthening of the capital and liquidity position (underway during 2012-2013); ii) Creation of conditions to ensure growth and profitability (for implementation over 2014-2015); iii) Sustainable growth (from 2016 to 2017).

Hence, the priorities of the 1st phase, which took place from 2012 to 2013, were the achievement of comfortable capital ratios, improvement of the liquidity position and strengthening of provisions.
During this period, BCP undertook a significant deleveraging effort, with loans and advances to customers (gross) having declined by 8 billion euros and customer funds on the balance sheet having increased by 3 billion euros. The commercial gap decreased by 13 billion euros between December 2009 and December 2012, the ratio of loans and advances (gross) to customer funds on the balance sheet (loan-to-deposit ratio) fell from 152% in December 2009 to 120% in December 2012. The Bank had amortised 18.5 billion euros of medium and long term debt by December 2012 and the use of ECB funding declined from 15 billion euros in December 2010 to 13 billion in December 2012, of which 12 billion are LTRO (long term refinancing operations) with the objective of replacing short term funding.
The Core Tier 1 ratio increased from 6.4% in December 2009 to 12.4% in December 2012, benefiting from the reinforcement of Core Tier 1 by 3 billion euros as a result of liability management operations (2011 and 2012) and issue of hybrid instruments (2012), in spite of the negative impacts of Greece and pension fund and the reduction of RWA by 12 billion euros, arising from the deleveraging process and adoption of internal rating based (IRB) methodologies, despite the downgrade of ratings. The Bank implemented a Capitalisation Plan reflected in the issue of 3 billion euros of hybrid instruments and a share capital increase of 500 million euros.
In relation to the reinforcement of provisioning, allocations for impairment of the value of 3,282 million euros were carried during the period of 2010-2012. Part of this provisioning effort resulted from inspections conducted pursuant to the measures and actions agreed by the Portuguese authorities in relation to the financial system, under the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme established with the IMF, EU and ECB. Thus, the Special Inspection Programme (SIP) of the Bank of Portugal was reflected in the strengthening of provisioning by 381 million euros, while the On-site Inspection Programme (OIP) covering exposure to the construction and real estate development sectors resulted in the strengthening of provisioning by 290 million euros.
During the 2nd phase, the Bank intends to ensure the recovery of profitability in Portugal and the continued development of the business in Poland, Mozambique and Angola. The priority of the 3rd phase is the sustainable growth of net income, with an improved balance between the contributions of the domestic and international operations.
It is the objective of BCP to create conditions of growth and profitability from 2014 to 2015 (2nd phase).
During 2013, the Bank intends to recover the profitability in Portugal through 3 areas of action: improve net interest income, reduce operating costs and decrease allocations for impairment. The improvement of net interest income should result from the reduction of the cost of deposits and continued repricing of loans and advances through the recomposition of the mix of the credit portfolio. The objective for operating costs points to an annual reduction of 100 million euros, through scale reduction (decrease of the network of branches by over 40 in 2012-2013 and cutting of staff numbers by 977 Full Time Employees (FTE) until 2013) and administrative reorganisation, consisting of the simplification of the organisation, improvement of processes and optimisation of the commercial network. Regarding allocations for impairment, the implementation of a new credit management model, covering the stages of its granting, monitoring and recovering, should lead to a reduction of the cost of risk. These actions should result in a recovery of profitability.
BCP has a unique international presence focused on key markets where our bussiness model add value and with a large population (Poland) or high rates of growth of the population's participation in the banking system (Mozambique and Angola). By the end of December 2012, these three operations represented 40% of the total branch network, 47% of total Employees, 19% of Turnover and 37% of Net Operating Revenues.
In Poland, Bank Millennium has a well distributed network of branches, supported on modern multichannel infrastructure, reference service quality, high brand recognition, a robust capital base, comfortable liquidity and solid risk management and control. The principal initiatives consist of the exploration of new market opportunities in the corporate segment with strong focus on Medium-sized Enterprises and the expansion of consumer credit. Bank Millennium has already announced its Strategic Plan for 2013-2015.
Mozambique is a market of high growth of GDP, based on natural resources and with rates of expansion of the population's participation in the banking system that are above the regional average. The potential for credit expansion is significant.
Similarly, Angola is also a market of strong growth of GDP, based on the export of oil. However, the contribution of the non-oil sector to the expansion of GDP has been increasing, essentially as a result of the investment in major infrastructure and agriculture. Also in Angola, the rates expansion of the population's participation in the banking system are higher than the regional average.
In Greece, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. ("BCP") signed on 22 April definitive agreements with Piraeus Bank regarding: (i) the sale of the entire share capital of Millennium Bank (Greece) ("MBG") and, (ii) the investment by BCP in the forthcoming capital increase of Piraeus Bank.
The signing of these agreements marks the successful conclusion of the negotiations between BCP and Piraeus Bank following the announcement on 6 February 2013 that the parties had entered into exclusive discussions.
This agreement falls within the framework that has been defined by the Bank of Greece and the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund ("HFSF") aiming at the restructuring of the Greek banking system and strengthening its financial stability. The terms and conditions of the transactions have been approved by the HFSF.
The transactions are expected to be consummated in the second quarter of 2013, subject in particular to the obtaining of final regulatory approvals.
The key elements of the sale transaction are the following:
The key elements of the investment transaction are the following:
BCP to invest 400 million euros in the forthcoming rights issue of Piraeus Bank within the framework of recapitalisation of Greek banks with the participation of the HFSF, i.e., at the same price as HFSF, leading to a minority stake in Piraeus Bank's share capital.
If this disposal is achieved, the Group ceases to consolidate the Greek's subsidiaries.
Annual Report for 2012
2012 marked the return of the stock market indices to gains, but in two distinctive phases. During the 1st half, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe deepened, with serious consequences for the performance of the economies, principally of the peripheral countries of the euro zone. Throughout this period, the European leaders intensified their meetings and summits, searching for solutions for the most serious economic scenario since the creation of the single currency.
In January, the anticipation of the implementation of the European Stability Mechanism was decided, increasing the levels of requirement and discipline of the finances of the Member States, which, combined with the capital ratio targets for Banks defined by the European Banking Association (EBA), enhanced fears of an economic slowdown and led to a weakening of the Euro with respect to the USD.
In order to combat this increasingly adverse scenario, the leaders of the euro zone approved, in June, the possibility of the European Rescue Fund being activated and used under more favourable conditions than those of previous rescue packages. This facility, already used by the banking sector in Spain, brought fresh enthusiasm to the markets. This agreement also had an important positive impact on public debt markets, particularly for debt with lowest ratings, where interest rates fell significantly.
The recovery of European indices, especially those of the Latin countries, and of the euro in the 2nd half, started after the commitment by the president of the European Central Bank (ECB) that this would do whatever was necessary to preserve the euro zone, following the cut in the reference rate to the historical minimum of 0.75%. Subsequently, the ECB announced the purchase of unlimited amounts of sovereign bonds, which led to a sharp decrease in the interest rates of the sovereign debt of the peripheral countries, with the rates returning to normality, back to the levels of 2010, below the psychological barrier of 7% for Portuguese public debt with 10 years maturity.
The main index of the Portuguese stock exchange, the PSI-20, closed the year with gains of 2.9%, thanks to the good performance achieved at the end of the year, after the declines of 10% in 2010 and 21% in 2011. The recovery of the Portuguese reference index, which had been following along in the red in mid-November, was possible after the intensification of efforts to minimise the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone, which led to a decrease of debt interest and increased the confidence of investors in European listed companies and particularly due to the market recognition of the effort that has been sustained in Portugal to comply with the targets established in the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme.

successful completion of the share capital increase, the BCP share recorded a very strong recovery, albeit insufficient to close the year on positive ground.
Following the approval of the Bank's Recapitalisation Plan at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 25 June 2012, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. increased its share capital from 3 billion euros to 3.5 billion euros, through the issue of 12,500 million ordinary shares, book-entry and nominative, without nominal value, with the issue value and unit subscription price of 0.04 euros, with shareholders' preemptive right.
12,117,641,349 shares were subscribed under the exercise of subscription rights, representing close to 96.94% of the total shares to be issued under the Offer, with 382,358,651 shares having remained available for apportionment. The supplementary requests for shares subject to apportionment came to a total of 8,281,476,975 shares, resulting in a total demand 21.7 times in excess of the available quantity for the effect.
In 2012, there was a considerable increase in the liquidity of BCP shares, which continue to be among the securities most traded on the Portuguese market and the most liquid of the financial sector.
During 2012, 18,104 million BCP shares were traded, representing an increase of 54% in relation to the previous year and corresponding to an average daily volume of 70.7 million shares (45.6 million in the previous year). The capital rotation index remained one of the highest among the companies of the PSI 20, corresponding to 180% of the annual average number of shares issued (194% in the previous year).
In terms of turnover, BCP shares represented 9.6% (1.96 billion euros) of the total volume of transactions on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon.

Pursuant to the conditions of the issue of Core Tier I Capital Instruments underwritten by the State, under Law number 63-A/2008 and Implementing Order number 150-A/2012, the Bank cannot distribute dividends until the issue is fully reimbursed, so the previous dividend policy is suspended.
BCP shares are covered by the leading national and international investment firms, which issue regular investment recommendations and price targets on the Bank.
The average price target of the investment firms that monitor the Bank showed a decrease which reflects the intensification of the sovereign debt crisis, the prospects for the Portuguese and world economy, as well as the new capital requirements.
During the year, the Bank participated in various events, having held roadshows in two major world financial markets - London and Paris – during the share capital increase. The Bank also participated in ten investor conferences, organised by other banks such as Banco Espírito Santo, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Merril Lynch, Caixa Banco de Investimento, Banco Santander and Commerzbank, and in Euronext Portuguese Day in New York, where institutional presentations were made and one-to-one meetings were held with investors. During 2012, 180 meetings were held, and it should also be highlighted that there was a significant increase of contacts with the Bank's debt investors.
In order to deepen relations with its shareholder base, the Bank created a telephone line to support shareholders. Created in June, after the announcement of the Bank's Recapitalisation Plan, the line has been used intensely (2,144 calls in 2012), particularly during the period preceding the General Meetings of Shareholders held on 25 June and during the Bank's share capital increase, which took place between September and October.
In keeping with commercial law and the deliberation of the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Bank may acquire or dispose of treasury shares up to the limit of 10% of its share capital.
As at 31 December 2011, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. held 4,431,776 treasury shares in its portfolio. During 2012, the Bank traded 8,805,556 treasury shares, corresponding to 0.04% of the share capital.

Following the request submitted by Millennium Group, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risks from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. Subsequently, within the framework of the process of sequential adoption of IRB methodologies to calculate capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal granted authorisation for the extension of this methodology to the sub-classes of risk "Retail Revolving Exposures" and "Other Retail Exposures" in Portugal with effect from 31 December 2011. More recently, with effect from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of credit conversion factors ("CCF") for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. During the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorisation from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advance method (internal model) for generic market risk and the standard method for operational risk.

(4) The adoption of the Standard method of operational risk was authorised in 2009 for application on a consolidated basis.
Consolidated core tier I, calculated in accordance with the Bank of Portugal rules, came to 12.4% as at 31 December 2012, above the minimum threshold defined by the Bank of Portugal (10%), having increased 309 basis points compared to 9.3% as reported at the end of 2011.
This performance essentially reflects the impact of the operations to reinforce core tier 1 undertaken in 2012, on the one hand, and the reduction of risk-weighted assets, resulting from both the extension of the use of IRB methodologies to calculate capital requirements for credit risk and the deleveraging undertaken during 2012, on the other hand.
Core tier 1 increased by 1,444 million euros in 2012, with emphasis on:
The increases arising from the higher fair value reserves of Millenniumbcp Ageas in the amount of +152 million euros, the minority interests in the amount of +82 million euros, the reversal of the impact of own credit risk on liabilities recognised at fair value in the amount of +32 million euros and the exchange rate differences in the amount of +25 million euros, which were partially offset by the increase in deductions associated with deposits with high interest rates in the amount of -82 million euros and to the shortfall of impairment to regulatory provisions related to credit exposures treated by the standardised approach in the amount of -26 million euros and by the costs recorded with the increase in share capital which came to -13 million euros.
Risk-weighted assets decreased by 2,185 million euros in 2012, mainly reflecting:
In parallel, the core tier 1 ratio determined in accordance with the EBA criteria reached 9.8% as at 31 December 2012, compared favourably with the 9.7% ratio recorded as at 30 June 2012 (first reporting date of this ratio) and exceeded the minimum defined limit (9%). Regarding the core tier 1 ratio of the Bank of Portugal, the core tier 1 ratio of EBA is reduced by 50% of both the value of significant investments held in shareholdings and the impairment shortfall relative to the expected losses of the exposures treated by the IRB methodologies, on the one hand, and by the capital buffer that was set by EBA with reference to 30 September 2011 to cover sovereign risks, adjusted by the provisioning undertaken subsequently within the scope of the restructuring of Greek public debt, on the other hand.

Note: the Bank received authorisation from the Bank of Portugal to adopt IRB approaches for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risks, covering a substantial part of the risks from the activity in Portugal, as from 31 December 2010. Estimates of the probability of default and the loss given default (IRB Advanced) were used for retail exposures to small companies and exposures collateralised by commercial and residential real state, and estimates of the probability of default (IRB Foundation) were used for corporate exposures, excluding property development loans and entities from the simplified rating system. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk under IRB approaches, the Bank of Portugal formally authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) for the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
2012 was characterised by the widespread difficulty Portuguese banks faced in accessing short-, medium- and long-term funding markets. Even so, in the 2nd half there were modest improvements as demonstrated by the first issues made by some Portuguese banks on the international wholesale funding market, a situation which had not occurred since the 1st quarter of 2010.
In December 2011, the Board of the European Central Bank (ECB) approved a set of additional measures aimed at promoting liquidity and the normalization of the monetary markets functioning within the Euro Zone, broadening, amongst others, the criteria for the determination of the eligibility of assets to be used as collateral in the Eurosystem's monetary policy operations.
The main priorities defined in the Bank's Liquidity Plan for 2012 are based on the reinforcement and preservation of the portfolio of eligible assets for discount at the ECB, in order to mitigate and compensate the effects of the loss of eligibility of some securitisations and other assets. The achievement of this objective implied the development and implementation of the following actions:
The bank's Liquidity Plan also established the continuity of the deleveraging policy, implemented successfully through the reduction of the commercial gap by 7.3 billion euros, in consolidated terms. This fact simultaneously enabled the amortisation of the medium- and long-term debt that was redeemed in 2012 (3.9 billion euros) and undertaking of two liability management operations (1.4 billion euros, in the 1st half of 2012) and other repurchases (0.2 billion euros), increasing the repayment of this type of liability to 5.5 billion euros.
The issue of 3 billion euros of hybrid capital instruments eligible as Core Tier 1 both for the Banco de Portugal and EBA, underwritten by the Portuguese State enabled the Bank to amortise wholesale debt with a material reduction in the net exposure to the ECB from 12.7 billion euros to 10.6 billion euros, thus maintaining the amount of the non-pledged eligible assets at the ECB at comfortable levels.
Following the accomplishment of another of the main goals of the Liquidity Plan for 2012, the timeframe of the Bank's wholesale funding was extended, by resorting to a second ECB long-term refinancing operation (LTRO), which enabled to increase the total amount borrowed for 3 years from 5.1 billion euros to 12.1 billion million.
For 2013, the Bank's liquidity position is expected to be positive as a result of the continuation of the deleveraging process underway and in view of the modest refinancing needs in the short-term (1 billion euros).
The aggravation of the sovereign debt crisis with adverse impact both on the conditions of access to funding in the international wholesale markets, and in the operating context of the banking sector in Portugal, as well as the lack of optimism regarding the Portuguese economy in the short term, have led to various actions by the Rating Agencies targeting Portuguese banks in general and namely BCP. The recapitalisation process undertaken by Portuguese banks, with a view of strengthening solvency levels, namely compliance with the targets defined by the European Banking Authority (EBA) and Bank of Portugal, relative to the Core Tier 1 capital ratio, has not prevented some of these Agencies from proceeding with the downward revision of ratings.
On 31 January 2012, following the revision of the Portuguese Republic's rating from "BBB" to "BBB (low)", DBRS announced the revision of the long term rating of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. from "BBB" to "BBB (low)", maintaining the negative outlook (similar rating to the Portuguese Republic) and short term rating from R-2 (high) to R-2 (mid) with a negative outlook. On 24 May 2012, DBRS placed the ratings of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. under review with negative implications, following similar action on the Portuguese Republic. On 5 December, after confirmation of the long term rating of the Portuguese Republic on 30 November, DBRS reaffirmed the ratings of four Portuguese banks, maintaining the long term rating of BCP at "BBB (low)", with a negative outlook.
On 31 January 2012, following the downward revision of the Portuguese Republic's rating from "BBB-/A-3" to "BB/B", S&P placed under review with negative outlook, the long term rating of some Portuguese banks, including BCP. On 14 February 2012, Banco Comercial Português, S.A. disclosed that, following the revision of the Portuguese Republic's rating from "BBB-" to "BB" and the revision of the Banking Industry Country Assessment for Portugal, Standard & Poor's announced that it had revised the ratings of Portuguese banks. In this context, the long term rating of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. was downgraded from "BB" to "B+" with negative outlook, while the short term rating was confirmed at "B". On 11 July 2012, following the analysis of the implications of the recapitalisation measures adopted by Portuguese banks, S&P announced that it maintained the principal ratings of BCP.
On 16 February 2012, Moody's revised the ratings of 114 European financial institutions of 16 European countries. In this context, Moody's placed the long term rating of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. of "Ba3" under observation for a possible downward revision and confirmed the short term rating at "Not Prime". On 28 March 2012, Moody's, also following the downgrade of the long term rating of the Portuguese Republic from "Ba3" to "Ba2" on 13 February, proceeded with the revision of the ratings of seven national banks and banking groups. The Bank Financial Strength Rating converted to Baseline Credit Assessment - BFSR (BCA) - of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. was downgraded to E+(B2) from E+(B1) and the ratings of debt and deposits were restated at "Ba3/Not Prime", with negative outlook. On 4 December 2012, this rating agency revised the rating of three Portuguese banks, cutting the long term rating of BCP by one notch to "B1", with indication of negative outlook.
On 18 June 2012, Fitch Ratings proceeded with the downward revision of the Viability Rating of Banco Comercial Português from "b" to "cc". The long and short term ratings were confirmed to remain at "BB+"/"B", maintaining the negative outlook. On 17 July, Fitch announced its upward revision of the following ratings for BCP - Viability Rating of "cc" to "b", Subordinated Debt (Lower Tier 2) from "C" to "B-" and Preferred Shares from "C" to "CC", in order to reflect the improved capital base and the perspective that the Bank will be better positioned to overcome the recessive situation currently experienced in Portugal.

The consolidated Financial Statements were prepared under the terms of Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002, of 19 July, and in accordance with the reporting model determined by the Bank of Portugal (Bank of Portugal Notice no. 1/2005), following the transposition into Portuguese law of Directive no. 2003/51/EC, of 18 June, of the European Parliament and Council in the versions currently in force.
The consolidated financial statements are not directly comparable between 2012, 2011 and 2010, due to the sale in 2010 of 95% of the share capital of Millennium bank in Turkey (current Fibabanka, Anonim Sirketi) and the entirety of the branch network of Millennium bcpbank in the United States of America (USA), the respective deposits portfolio and part of the loan portfolio. However, the impact of these transactions is considered not materially relevant on the Group's profit and loss account and balance sheet as a result of the small size of these operations in the context of the consolidated activity.
Moreover, at the end of 2011, in view of the agreement signed between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the banking employees unions for the transfer to the General Social Security Scheme of the liabilities related to pensions for retired employees and pensioners, the Bank decided, prior to the said transfer, to change the accounting policy associated with the recognition of actuarial deviations.
Following the analysis of the alternatives allowed by International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 Employee Benefits, the Group decided to begin to recognise actuarial deviations for the year against reserves. Previously, the Group had deferred actuarial deviations in accordance with the corridor method, where unrecognised actuarial gains and losses exceeding 10% of the greater value between the present value of the liabilities and the fair value of the Fund's assets were recognised against profit or loss according to the estimated remaining working life of the active employees.
In accordance with IAS, and in order to reflect the abovementioned change, the entirety of the deferred actuarial deviations was recognised in equity with retroactive effect on 1 January 2010. Under the applicable rules, the Group restated the financial statements with reference to 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010, for comparative purposes.
In 2012, the activity of the Portuguese banking system continued to be developed in an adverse macroeconomic and financial environment, both domestically and internationally. The continued implementation of the economic and financial assistance programme, involving the correction of structural imbalances of the Portuguese economy, among with demanding budgetary consolidation, determined an immediate prolongation of the economic recession in Portugal, exacerbated by the persistence of high uncertainty regarding the economic evolution of the international economy and the resolution of the sovereign debt crisis of the euro area, which collectively continue to bring significant risks to financial stability in Portugal.
The deterioration of economic activity in Portugal in 2012 had a negative effect on the profitability of the Portuguese banking system, both due to a greater materialisation of credit risk and to pressures on net interest income associated with the low level of market interest rates. It should be added that the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area and the interaction between sovereign risk and banking sector risk perceived by investors persisted as additional vulnerability factors of Portuguese banks, continuing to limit the access to funding in wholesale funding markets. However, the continuation of the process of deleveraging of the economy and the non-conventional monetary policy measures adopted by the European Central Bank (ECB), together with the capitalisation initiatives of the Portuguese banks, contributed to a substantial improvement of liquidity and capital in the Portuguese banking system.
In this adverse environment, the operating conditions of Millennium bcp were negatively affected by the high credit impairment charges, as a result of the materialisation of the loan portfolio risk, and by the higher cost of funding the activity, specifically determined by the evolution in opposite directions of the Euribor rate and the average cost of customer deposits and also as a result of the effect of the recourse to public investment. In 2012, Millennium bcp continued the effort to adjust its balance sheet structure to the new regulatory and market requirements, having achieved a significant reduction of the commercial gap, through the contraction of the loan portfolio and the increase in balance sheet customer funds, and strengthened its liquidity and capital position through the issue of 3 billion euros of hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State and a share capital increase of 500 million euros.
The recourse to public investment, as mentioned above, despite the recapitalisation process that the Bank has been undertaking since 2008 and which contributed to unprecedented capitalisation levels, resulted from the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation in Portugal and in Greece, the impact of the partial transfer of liabilities related to pensions to the General Social Security Scheme and the impairments charged in 2012 within the scope of SIP-Special Inspection Programme (both reflected in June 2012, given that they were neutralised on 31 December 2011), the persistently tighter access of Banks to financing markets and the new regulatory requirements imposed by the Bank of Portugal and the EBA.
Total assets stood at 89,744 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 93,482 million euros as at 31 December 2011. The loan portfolio, before loan impairments, reached a total of 66,861 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 71,533 million euros as at 31 December 2011, driven by the contraction both in terms of loans to companies and to individuals. This evolution was influenced by the adjustment of demand, greater selectivity in loan concession, with a particular focus on supporting and funding the most productive segments of the national economy, and by the impact of the continuation of the balance sheet adjustment process through the gradual deleveraging of the intermediation activity, reflected in the decrease of the commercial gap.
Total customer funds increased to 68,547 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared to 65,530 million euros as at 31 December 2011, benefiting from the performance of balance sheet funds, in particular of customer deposits, which continued to be the main source of funding of the activity. At the same time, total customer funds were positively influenced by the increase in off-balance sheet funds, due to the positive performance of both capitalisation products and assets under management.
Net income was negative by 1,219.1 million euros in 2012, compared to the loss of 848.6 million euros in 2011, influenced above all by the high credit impairment charges associated with the activity in Portugal, in addition to the impact of the loss recorded by the subsidiary in Greece together with the impairment charges attributed to the activity of this subsidiary.
Millennium bcp's consolidated net income was negative by 1,219.1 million euros in 2012, compared with a loss of 848.6 million euros in 2011, influenced by a set of factors which negatively affected the levels of profitability in both years. In 2012, special reference should be made of the impacts related to the strengthening of impairments and provisions in the activity in Portugal, reaching a total of 1,236.0 million euros, including the impairments constituted within the scope of the On-site Inspections Programme ("OIP"), as well as of the impairment charges for estimated losses together with the negative net income generated by the operation in Greece, in the global amount of 693.6 million euros.
The performance of net income in 2012 reflects the deterioration of economic activity in Portugal, with an impact on the decline in domestic demand and investment and on the rise in unemployment, affecting the levels of confidence and income of both companies and households, in addition to the uncertainty surrounding the resolution of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area, affecting in particular the European peripheral countries.
Net income for 2012 was also affected by the following factors, net of taxes, considering the marginal tax rate: (i) unfavourable effect on net interest income related to costs of both the liability management operations undertaken in 2011, in the amount of 138.7 million euros, and of the issue of hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State, in the amount of 95.8 million euros; (ii) cost of 49.1 million euros of commissions associated with the issue of debt securities guaranteed by the Portuguese State; (iii) costs related to the restructuring programme and early retirements of 49.2 million euros, despite the favourable impact from the legislative change related to the mortality allowance, in the amount of 45.4 million euros; (iv) a gain of 130.9 million euros,
(669) 143 (694) (1,219) Portugal International Greece exposure Consolidated NET INCOME 2012 Million euros
generated by the repurchase of own debt issues, and gains associated with Portuguese sovereign debt securities held in portfolio of 75.2 million euros.
The consolidated net income in 2011 was especially influenced by the recognition of impairment losses of Greek sovereign debt securities of 408.9 million euros (net of taxes), by the increase in credit impairment charges of 270.5 million euros (net of taxes), following the Special Inspections Programme ("SIP"), and by the recognition of impairment relative to the remaining goodwill of Millennium bank in Greece of 147.1 million euros. In addition, the consolidated net income of 2011 incorporated the following impacts, net of taxes: i) the losses associated with Portuguese public debt securities held in portfolio of 91.0 million euros; (ii) the costs associated with the partial transfer of the liabilities related to pensions for retired employees and pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme

of 117.0 million euros, the recording of costs related to early retirements of 8.7 million euros and the annulment of provisions related to the pension fund of former members of the Executive Board of Directors and to the complementary plan for employees in the global amount of 34.3 million euros; and (iii) the recognition of deferred tax assets in the amount of 132.5 million euros within the scope of the restructuring process of the Group's shareholdings.
Consolidated net income in 2012, in spite of the impacts mentioned above, was favourably influenced by the reduction of operating costs, in particular in terms of staff costs, other administrative costs and depreciation for the year, by the performance of net trading income and by the higher appropriation of equity accounted earnings, when compared with the previous year.
The evolution of profitability in the activity in Portugal was strongly constrained by the negative factors noted above, in spite of having benefited from the reduction in operating costs, as a result of the initiatives that have been implemented with a view to the rationalisation and contention of costs and from the adjustment of installed capacity to the new consumption patterns of customers and simultaneous reduction in the demand for banking services, in particular through the resizing of the branch network and the increased exploitation of the potential associated with remote distribution channels.

Net income from the international activity in 2012 was particularly penalised by the performance of the operation developed in Greece, despite the positive net income achieved by Bank Millennium in Poland, by Millennium bim in Mozambique and by Banco Millennium Angola, benefiting from the growth of the respective net operating revenues arising from the higher turnover, efficiency gains obtained in Poland and lower impairments and provisions in Mozambique and in Angola.
Bank Millennium in Poland recorded a net income of 113.1 million euros in 2012, in line with the 113.3 million euros registered in 2011, boosted by the favourable performance of net operating revenues, namely of net trading income, through gains associated with foreign exchange operations and sales of bonds, of net interest income related to loans and advances to customers and to securities, of the reduction in other administrative costs and in depreciation, which resulted in an improvement in operating efficiency. This favourable evolution was offset by the increase in credit impairment charges, the reduction of commissions and the increase in staff costs, partly associated with the increase in contribution to social security.
At Millennium bim in Mozambique, net income fell 4% to 85.5 million euros in 2012, compared with 89.4 million euros recorded in 2011, penalised by the reduction of net interest income, influenced by the decrease in interest rates associated with loans and advances to customers and the increase in the cost of customer deposits, as well as by the impact of the expansion plan in progress on the growth of operating costs, which were partially offset by lower credit impairment charges and by the favourable evolution of net trading income and commissions.
Banco Millennium Angola recorded an increase in net income to 37.3 million euros in 2012, compared with 33.3 million euros registered in 2011. This increase essentially reflects the performance of net operating revenues, in particular of commissions, associated mainly with transfers, loans and guarantees granted, as well as of gains associated with foreign exchange operations and of net interest income. The net income of Banco Millennium Angola was also constrained by the increase in operating costs, as a result of the expansion plan of the branch network in progress.
Millennium bank in Greece presented a loss of 266.4 million euros in 2012, compared with the loss of 3.5 million euros recorded in 2011. Net income was negatively influenced by the performance of net interest income, which in 2011 incorporates gains received in the repurchase of issued debt and, in 2012, reflects the decrease in interest rates associated with loans and advances to customers and the increase in interest rates associated with customer deposits, as well as the increase in credit impairment charges, resulting from the deterioration of the macroeconomic environment. However, the
positive performance of net trading income and the savings in operating costs contributed favourably to net income.
Banca Millennium in Romania recorded a loss of 23.8 million euros in 2012, compared with a loss of 17.8 million euros posted in 2011, influenced by the performance of net interest income, penalised largely by the reduction in interest on loans and advances, and by the partial reversion of deferred tax assets associated with past tax losses. The net income of Banca Millennium benefited from the reduction in operating costs, arising from the optimisation of the branch network.
Millennium Banque Privée in Switzerland recorded a positive net income of 2.5 million euros in 2012, compared with the loss of 12.0 million euros registered in 2011. This evolution fundamentally results from the reduction of credit impairment charges, which more than offset the unfavourable evolution of net interest income, reflecting the lower volume of loans and advances to customers, and the increase in operating costs, mainly associated with the cost of migration to a new IT system.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands posted a net income of 14.7 million euros in 2012, compared with 4.6 million euros in 2011, influenced by the performance of net interest income, reflecting the favourable effect of the reduction of the cost of deposits from credit institution.

Net interest income came to 1,023.6 million euros in 2012, compared with 1,579.3 million euros in 2011, constrained largely by the unfavourable interest rate effect of 381 million euros, negatively affected by the evolution in opposite directions of the Euribor rates and of the average cost of customer deposits, and by the negative volume effect of 198 million euros, reflecting essentially the performance of the loan portfolio.
The unfavourable interest rate effect was influenced by the higher cost of funding the activity, due to the higher interest rates of debt securities issued and financial liabilities and of subordinated debt, as well as the increased remuneration of customers' term

deposits, offsetting the favourable effect associated with the repricing of the loans to customers' portfolio, as a result of the adjustment of the funding cost to customers' risk profiles.
The negative volume effect reflects the contraction of loans to customers, as a result of lower demand and greater selectivity in credit concession, as well as the lower balance of financial assets, in spite of the growth of the balance of customer deposits, materialising the focus on the attraction of customer balance sheet funds, with a view to achieving the objectives of deleveraging and strengthening of stable funding in the funding structure.
The behaviour of net interest income was influenced above all by the activity in Portugal, penalised by the unfavourable interest rate effect, in particular the impacts associated with the issue of hybrid instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the capitalisation process of the Bank, the liability management operations undertaken during the course of the 2nd half of 2011, as well as the higher cost of customers' term deposits relative to the previous year. At the same time, net interest income performance was conditioned by the negative volume effect, resulting essentially from operations with customers, in particular the contraction in loans and advances to customers. However, in the fourth quarter of 2012, net interest income performed positively, reversing the trend observed in previous quarters, in particular due to the effect of the downward trend of remuneration of customers' term deposits over the course of the year.
In the international activity, net interest income performance was also penalised by the unfavourable interest rate effect, in particular in Millennium bank in Greece, despite the positive volume effect registered in the other international operations, in particular in Millennium bim in Mozambique, in Bank Millennium in
The analysis of the average balance sheet shows a decrease of 6.8% of average net assets to 90,629 million euros in 2012, compared with 97,231 million euros in 2011. This performance was influenced by interest earning assets, reflecting the reduction of the average balance of loans and advances to customers to 66,355 million euros in 2012 (72,783 million euros in 2011), as well as the reduction of the average balance of financial assets to 11,080 million euros in 2012 (12,247 million euros in 2011), while the average balance of deposits in credit institutions remained practically unaltered at 4,458 million euros in 2012 (4,363 million euros in 2011).

Total average liabilities decreased to 86,423 million
euros in 2012, compared with 91,721 million euros registered in 2011, due to the reductions in the average balance of debt issued and financial liabilities to 15,591 million euros in 2012 (19,732 million euros in 2011) and in the average balance of amounts owed to credit institution to 17,048 million euros in 2012 (19,956 million euros in 2011), reflecting the lower exposure to the European Central Bank. Nevertheless, subordinated debt increased to 2,764 million euros in 2012 (1,504 million euros in 2011), boosted by the issue of hybrid financial instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State, and the average balance of amounts owed to customers grew to 47,747 million euros in 2012 (46,821 million euros in 2011), reflecting the focus on the strengthening and attraction of stable funding. Overall, the performance of average balances reflects the continuation of the balance sheet adjustment process with a view to the gradual deleveraging of the activity and the consequent reduction of the commercial gap.

Note: Interest related to hedge derivatives were allocated, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, to the respective balance item.
In terms of the average balance sheet structure, the average balance of interest earning assets represented 90.4% of the average net assets in 2012 (91.9% in 2011). Loans and advances to customers continued to be the main component of the asset portfolio, corresponding to 73.2% of average total net assets, in spite of the contraction of loans and advances to customers relative to 2011, followed by the aggregate of financial assets, representing 12.2% of average net assets, supported by the investment securities portfolio, despite the decrease in financial instruments held for trading.
In the structure of average liabilities, customer deposits consolidated their position as the main source of funding the activity, representing 55.2% of average total liabilities, compared with 51.0% in 2011, boosted by the strategic focus on growth of customer balance sheet funds, with the weight of the debt issued and financial liabilities component having fallen in 2012 to 18.0% of average total liabilities (21.5% in 2011), as a result of the maturity and amortisation of some medium to long term debt operations, while the weight of subordinated debt was influenced by the issue of hybrid financial instruments which stood at 3.2% of average total liabilities (1.6% in 2011).
The balance of average shareholders' equity in 2012 decreased relative to 2011, influenced above all by the impact of the net losses generated during the course of the year, in spite of being partially offset by the increase in fair value reserves associated with financial assets available for sale. In 2012, as operation was undertaken to reduce the share capital of the Bank, along with an increase in reserves and retained earnings without altering equity. However, shareholders' equity benefited from the effect of the share capital increase in 2012, in the amount of 500 million euros, through the public subscription offer reserved for shareholders.
The net interest margin stood at 1.23% in 2012, compared with 1.74% in 2011, influenced largely by the activity in Portugal, in addition to the performance of the international activity. This evolution reflects the impacts of the issue in 2012 of hybrid instruments and of liability management operations undertaken in the 2nd half of 2011, in addition to the higher cost of customers' term deposits, benefiting, however, from the effect of the adjustment of pricing to customers' loans risk profile.

Other net income, which aggregates dividends from equity instruments, net commissions, net trading income, other net operating income and equity accounted earnings came to 1,157.0 million euros in 2012, corresponding to an increase of 16.8% compared with 990.3 million euros in 2011. The evolution of other net income, associated largely with the activity in Portugal, benefited above all from the performance of net trading income as well as, albeit to a lesser extent, from the equity accounted earnings.

Income from equity instruments, which include dividends received from investments in financial assets available for sale, stood at 3.9 million euros in 2012, compared with 1.4 million euros in 2011. The income from equity instruments recorded in both years correspond, above all, to the income associated with the Group's investments in its portfolio of shares and investment fund participation units.
Net commissions reached a total of 690.8 million euros in 2012, which compares with 789.4 million euros in 2011. Net commissions in 2012 include the cost related to the guarantee provided by the Portuguese State to debt issued by the Bank, in the amount of 69.2 million euros. Excluding this impact, net commissions fell 3.7% relative to 2011, reflecting the evolution of both commissions related to the markets and commissions more directly related to banking activity.
The performance of net commissions was essentially constrained by the activity in Portugal, while in the international activity there was an increase of 4.5% relative to 2011, underpinned by the performance of the subsidiaries in Mozambique, Angola and Greece.
The commissions more directly related to the banking business were influenced by the lower level of commissions associated with credit and guarantees operations, in addition to the commissions related to the bancassurance business and to the cards business, in spite of the increase in commissions associated with other banking services.
The commissions associated with the cards business came to 182.6 million euros in 2012, compared with 184.5 million euros in 2011, reflecting the decrease in income related to service rates, invoicing and annual fees in the activity in Portugal, despite the growth of commissions in the international activity, in particular in the subsidiaries in Mozambique, Angola and, albeit to a lesser extent, in Romania.
Commissions related to loan operations and guarantees totalled 175.2 million euros in 2012, compared with 184.9 million euros in 2011, penalised by lower demand and greater selectivity in loan concession to customers in the activity in Portugal, despite the favourable evolution of the subsidiaries in Greece, Angola and Mozambique.
Bancassurance commissions, which include the commissions received for the placement of insurance products through the Bank's distribution networks, stood at 60.4 million euros in 2012, compared with 72.7 million euros in 2011, reflecting the adverse economic environment that penalised the profitability of the banking and insurance activity.
Other commissions directly related to the banking business increased to 236.9 million euros in 2012, compared with 226.6 million euros recorded in 2011, benefiting in particular from the performances of the activity in Portugal, Poland and Angola. In the activity in Portugal, the commissions generated by various banking services evolved positively compared with the previous year, benefiting from the revision of the transactions price list.
The commissions related to financial markets came to 104.9 million euros in 2012, compared with 120.7 million euros in 2011, reflecting the evolution of both the activity in Portugal and the international activity, as a result of the persistence of factors of uncertainty and volatility that constrain investment in capital markets, with a direct impact on the lower volume of operations and on the financial investment management activity in general.

Commissions associated with transactions on securities reached a total of 62.3 million euros in 2012 (73.8 million euros in 2011), reflecting the lower level of commissions related to the structuring of operations and the placement of debt issues in the activity in Portugal, despite the favourable performance shown by Millennium bim in Mozambique.
Commissions related to asset management came to 42.6 million euros in 2012, compared with 46.9 million euros in 2011. This evolution was determined by both the activity in Portugal, driven essentially by the activity related to real estate investment funds, and the international activity. However, the performance shown by the international activity was partially compensated by the favourable evolution recorded by the operations developed in Switzerland and Mozambique.

Net trading income, which includes net gains from trading and hedging activities, from available for sale financial assets and from held to maturity financial assets, evolved from 207.6 million euros in 2011 to 462.8 million euros in 2012.
This evolution essentially reflects the increase in net gains associated with Portuguese sovereign debt securities, benefiting from the gain of 106.0 million euros recorded in 2012, compared with a loss of 128.2 million euros recorded in 2011.
In parallel, net trading income includes in 2012 the income associated with the activity in Portugal related to the repurchase of own debt issues, in the amount of

Net trading income in 2011 includes, in addition to the above mentioned losses associated with Portuguese sovereign debt securities, the negative variation of fair value associated with own credit risk in the amount of 20.6 million euros and the losses related to the sale of credit operations in the amount of 57.2 million euros, only partially offset by the gains associated with the repurchase operations of own debt securities issued.
In the international activity, net trading income decreased from 243.7 million euros in 2011 to 150.9 million euros in 2012, reflecting mainly the evolution of trading and derivative operations, in spite of being offset by the higher profit generated by foreign exchange transactions.

Other net operating income, which aggregates other operating income, other net income from nonbanking activities and gains from the sale of subsidiaries and other assets, registered net losses of 56.1 million euros in 2012, compared with losses of 22.7 million euros in 2011. In 2011, other net operating income in Portugal benefited from the positive effect associated with an adjustment of insurance premiums related to pensions, in the amount of 18.9 million euros.
The evolution of other net operating income was mainly determined by the activity in Portugal, penalised by taxes recorded in 2012 in the amount of 30.4 million euros (22.0 million euros in 2011) and by the extraordinary tax contribution on the banking sector of 33.9 million euros (32.0 million euros in 2011), in addition to the losses associated with the revaluation of repossessed assets, in spite of the favourable effect of net income associated with banking services provided.
Equity accounted earnings, which include the earnings appropriated by the Group associated with the consolidation of entities over which, despite having a significant influence, the Group does not control financial and operating policies, reached a total of 55.7 million euros in 2012, compared with 14.6 million euros in 2011.
The performance of equity accounted earnings benefited from the net income of Millenniumbcp Ageas in 2012, comparatively higher than that registered in the previous year, and from the consequent appropriation of results associated with the 49% shareholding in that company. In spite of the deterioration of the national and international macroeconomic environment, which strongly constrained the performance of the insurance market, Millenniumbcp Ageas benefited, in 2012, from improved operating performance and cost control, as well as the continuation of its strategic agenda called "Vision 2015" dealing with the strategic repositioning of its business model.

Operating costs, which aggregate staff costs, other administrative costs and depreciation for the year, decreased 10.7% to 1,458.6 million euros in 2012, compared with 1,634.2 million euros in 2011.
The evolution of operating costs includes the following impacts: (i) the favourable effect of the legislative change related to the mortality allowance, in the amount of 64.0 million euros, recorded in the second quarter of 2012; (ii) the recording of costs associated with early retirements and mutually agreed terminations, in particular within the scope of the restructuring programme, in the global amount of 69.3 million euros in 2012 (12.3 million euros in early retirement costs in 2011); (iii) the reversal of provisions related to the pension fund of former members of the Executive Board of Directors and the complementary plan for employees, in the global amount of 48.3 million euros registered in 2011; and (iv) the costs associated with the partial transfer of the liabilities related to pensions for
retired employees and pensioners to the General Social Security Scheme, in the amount of 164.8 million euros, recorded in 2011.
Excluding these impacts, operating costs fell 3.5%, benefiting from the reduction of 3.3% in other administrative costs, of 18.8% in depreciation for the year and of 1.8% in staff costs, as a result of the initiatives that have been implemented in the Group focused on the rationalisation and contention of costs, as well as the adjustment of installed capacity to the lower demand for banking services in Portugal, in particular through the resizing of the branch network.
In the activity in Portugal, operating costs stood at 871.5 million euros in 2012 (1,040.4 million euros in 2011). However, excluding the impacts mentioned above, operating costs fell 5.0% relative to 2011. This evolution reflects the lower costs associated with other administrative costs (-6,4%) and staff costs (- 3.2%), benefiting from the impact of the previously mentioned initiatives, as well as from the lower level of depreciation for the year (-15.5%) for most categories, with emphasis on depreciation related to properties and equipment.
In the international activity, operating costs fell 1.1% to 587.1 million euros in 2012, compared with 593.8 million euros in 2011, benefiting from the reduction of costs achieved by the subsidiaries in Greece and Poland, which more than offset the increases in Millennium bim in Mozambique and in Banco Millennium Angola, reflecting the reinforcement of the operational infrastructure and the support for the organic growth strategy underway in these two markets.
The consolidated cost-to-income ratio, excluding specific items, stood at 66.6% in 2012, which compares with 58.6% in 2011, penalised by the performance of income, in spite of the positive performance of the operating cost component, underpinned by the implementation of various initiatives with a view to strict cost control and improved operating efficiency. The cost-to-income ratio of the activity in Portugal stood at 69.1% in 2012, compared with 60.2% in 2011, while in the international activity it came to 63.3% in 2012 (56.3% in 2011), influenced by the lower total income for the year, whose effect was proportionately higher than that of the simultaneous reduction in operating costs.

Staff costs amounted to 815.4 million euros in 2012, compared with 953.6 million euros in 2011. Staff costs include the already mentioned specific impacts in the global amount of 5.3 million euros in 2012 and of 128.8 million euros in 2011. Excluding these impacts, staff costs fell 1.8% to 810.1 million euros in 2012 (824.8 million euros in 2011).
In the activity in Portugal, staff costs reached a total of 532.3 million euros in 2012 (673.3 million euros in 2011). However, excluding the specific impacts mentioned above, focusing overall on the activity in Portugal, there was a decrease of 3.2%, largely influenced by the lower social contributions relative to the previous year. Staff costs in the activity in NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

Portugal in 2012 do not yet reflect in the remuneration component the effect of the decrease to a total of 8,982 employees at the end of 2012 relative to the 9,959 employees at the end of 2011, since the mutually agreed terminations and early retirements undertaken within the scope of the restructuring programme, with a view to the optimisation of resources and the simplification of structures, took place mainly in the last few months of 2012.
In the international activity, staff costs reached a total of 283.1 million euros in 2012, representing an increase of 1.0% relative to the 280.3 million euros in 2011, due to the increases recorded by the subsidiaries in Mozambique, Angola and Poland, reflecting the higher number of employees, in the case of the first two, in line with the expansion of the respective distribution networks. Nevertheless, staff costs of Millennium bank in Greece in 2012 fell relative to the previous year, as a result of the decrease in the number of employees, which combined with the staff reduction in Bank Millennium in Poland, within the scope of the redefinition of the European operations, resulted in a reduction of in the number of employees in the international activity to a total of 11,383 employees at the end of 2012 (11,549 employees at the end of 2011).

Other administrative costs fell 3.3% to 565.1 million euros in 2012, from 584.5 million euros in 2011, with emphasis on the savings achieved in the outsourcing, insurance, advertising, rent and travel line items.
The decrease in other administrative costs benefited from the reduction of 6.4% in the activity in Portugal to 298.7 million euros in 2012, compared with 319.2 million euros in 2011, reflecting the lower costs associated with outsourcing, insurance, travel, maintenance and repairs and rent. This performance was favourably influenced by the continued efforts to rationalise and contain costs and by the redimensioning of the branch network in Portugal, reaching a total of 839 branches as at 31 December 2012, corresponding to a reduction of 46 branches relative to the end of 2011.

BRANCHES
In the international activity, other administrative costs came to 266.4 million euros in 2012, compared with 265.3 million euros in 2011, reflecting the increase in costs related to maintenance and repairs, security services and cash transport, in spite of the savings achieved in the advertising, rent, insurance and advisory services.

The evolution of other administrative costs in the international activity, despite the reductions recorded in the operations developed in Greece, Poland and Romania, essentially reflects the higher costs recorded in the subsidiaries in Mozambique and Angola, in line with the expansion of their respective
local distribution networks. This expansion contributed to the growth of the branch network of the international activity to 860 branches at the end of 2012 (837 branches at the end of 2011), thus exceeding the branch network in Portugal as at 31 December 2012.
The depreciation costs for the year fell 18.8% to 78.1 million euros in 2012, compared with 96.1 million euros recorded in 2011, benefiting from the reduction in the majority of headings, in particular depreciation related to tangible assets.
The decrease in depreciation was driven both by the activity in Portugal and international operations. In the activity in Portugal, depreciation for the year fell 15.5% relative to 2011, corresponding to a lower level of depreciation related to real estate and equipment, following the gradual end of the period of depreciation of investments.
In the international activity, depreciation for the year fell 22.0% relative to 2011, as a result of the decrease in depreciation for the year in the subsidiaries of Poland, Greece and Romania, as well as the slowdown in the pace of growth of depreciation in Banco Millennium Angola. This evolution, in spite of the increase in depreciation in Millennium bim in Mozambique, resulted in a decrease of the depreciation for the year - representing the international activity - to 48% of the consolidated amount in 2012 (50% in 2011).
Loan impairment (net of recoveries) reached a total of 1,684.2 million euros in 2012, compared with 1,331.9 million euros in 2011. This evolution was driven by the impact of the loan impairment charges related to the subsidiary in Greece that came to a global amount of 702.4 million euros in 2012 (89.5 million euros in 2011), in addition to the increase in charges undertaken following the On-site Inspections Programme ("OIP") in 2012, in the amount of 290.0 million euros, compared with the amount of 381.0 million euros in 2011 associated with the Special Inspections Programme ("SIP"), both focused on activity in Portugal.

above and by the persistence of an adverse macroeconomic and financial environment, with the consequent deterioration of the economic and financial situation of households and national companies, reflected in the worsening of the credit risk indicators. Nevertheless, in 2012 efforts to improve the risk monitoring and preventive action mechanisms continued, culminating in the implementation of a new

credit management model.
In the international activity, loan impairment (net of recoveries) largely reflects the increase in charges recorded by the subsidiary in Greece, as a result of the maintenance of a particularly unfavourable macroeconomic context and the resurgence of tensions associated with sovereign debt with the consequent impact on the deterioration of default levels.
The cost of risk, calculated by the proportion of credit impairment charges (net of recoveries) to the loan portfolio, stood at 252 basis points in 2012, compared with 186 basis points recorded in 2011.

Other impairments and provisions aggregate the line items of charges for impairment of other financial assets, for impairment of other assets, in particular repossessed assets arising from the termination of loan contracts with customers, for impairment of goodwill, as well as charges for other provisions.
Other impairments and provisions reached a total of 352.8 million euros in 2012, compared with 825.1 million euros in 2011. This evolution largely reflects the effect of the following impacts registered in 2011: (i) accounting of impairment losses associated with Greek sovereign debt securities, in the amount of 533.5 million euros; and (ii) recognition of impairment relative to the remaining goodwill of Millennium bank in Greece of 147.1 million euros. In turn, in 2012 other impairments and provisions mainly include the increase in charges in the activity in Portugal related to impairment losses in financial assets, in particular repossessed assets which, under the regular process of revaluation of these assets, registered a decrease of their respective market value. In addition, it includes the charges associated with financial assets available for sale, in particular impairment losses in investment fund units held by the Group, as well as other assets.
In the international activity, the evolution of other impairments and provisions, between 2011 and 2012, reflects the increase in charges recorded by the subsidiaries in Mozambique and Angola, partially offset by the lower level of charges recorded in Bank Millennium in Poland.
Income tax (current and deferred) reached -177.8 million euros in 2012, compared with -458.9 million euros recorded in 2011.
This tax includes current tax costs in the amount of 81.7 million euros (66.9 million euros in 2011), net of deferred tax income in the amount of 259.5 million euros (525.7 million euros in 2011).
The deferred tax income recorded in 2012 refers, above all, to the impairment losses that are not deductible for the purpose of calculation of the taxable profit for 2012 and the tax losses recorded for the year.
Non-controlling interests include the part attributable to third parties of net income of the subsidiary companies consolidated under the full consolidation method in which the Group does not hold, directly or indirectly, the entirety of their share capital.
Non-controlling interests reflect, essentially, the net income attributable to third parties related to shareholdings held in the share capital of Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bim in Mozambique and Banco Millennium Angola, standing at 81.8 million euros in 2012, compared with 85.9 million euros recorded in 2011. This evolution was determined by the performance of net income of Millennium bim in Mozambique and Bank Millennium in Poland, which was partially influenced by the exchange rate depreciation, in average terms, of the zloty against the euro.
The deterioration of the macroeconomic environment in Portugal in 2012, strongly influenced by the contractionary budgetary policy, with a significant impact on the decline of domestic demand and public and private investment, and by the continuation of restrictive funding conditions, in a context of persistence of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area, constrained the levels of activity and profitability of the banking sector. However, in 2012 solvency levels were significantly strengthened together with a progressive convergence to a more balanced structural liquidity position of the national banking system, benefiting, on the one hand, from the capitalisation plans implemented by banks and, on the other hand, from the ECB's non-conventional stimulus measures which improved bank's access to liquidity, namely the undertaking of long term refinancing operations (LTRO) and changes to the eligibility criteria for collateral for refinancing operations.
In 2012 Millennium bcp continued the deleveraging process which was reflected in the reduction of the commercial gap, driven by the growth of balance sheet customer funds and the contraction of the loan portfolio, which in combination with the implementation of a series of initiatives associated to the Group's liquidity management, namely the repayment of a portion of the medium to long term debt, the undertaking of two liability management operations, the repurchase of bonds and the issue of equity instruments fully underwritten by the State, contributed to the consolidation of a more stable medium term funding structure in parallel with a reduction of the net exposure to the ECB, without prejudice to the reinforcement of the pool of collateral under the new eligibility rules for monetary policy operations.
Total assets reached 89,744 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 93,482 million euros recorded as at 31 December 2011.
Loans and advances to customers, before loan impairment, decreased by 6.5%, to stand at 66,861 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (representing 75% of total assets), comparing with 71,533 million euros recorded at the end of the previous year. This evolution was fmainly the result of the adverse environment mentioned above, which resulted in lower demand and higher selectivity in credit concession. In addition, the contraction of the loan portfolio was also influenced by the sale of some credit operations and by the early repayment of mortgage loans, which contributed to the deleveraging effort and subsequent

channelling of resources to fund customers' sustainable projects.
The portfolio of securities, which represents 16.1% of total assets, decreased in terms of financial assets held to maturity, but was reinforced in terms of financial assets held for trading and available for sale. In fact, the financial assets held to maturity fell 30.8%, to stand at 3,569 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (5,160 million euros at the end of 2011), reflecting the lower exposure to bonds and other debt securities of public issuers, namely Portuguese and Greek public debt, as well as debt securities of other issuers, following the redemption of bonds of national and foreign private issuers. In turn, the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale increased overall to 10,914 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (6,919 million euros at the end of 2011), largely due to the effect of the reinforcement of the portfolio of assets available for sale, namely commercial paper, public debt securities and investment fund units.
Total liabilities decreased by 3.8%, to stand at 85,744 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 89,108 million euros at the end of 2011, largely influenced by: (i) the reduction of other financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (-87.2%), as a result of the maturity and repayment of a portion of the medium to long term debt, over the course of 2012; (ii) a 13.9% decrease of deposits of Central Banks and other credit institutions to stand at a total of 15,266 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (17,723 million euros at the end of 2011), reflecting the lower exposure to ECB funding; and (iii) the reduction of issued debt securities (-16.6%), reflecting, on the one hand, the impact of liability management operations undertaken in 2012 and, on the other, the persistent limitation of access to wholesale funding markets. It is important to highlight, however, the combined effect on total liabilities, resulting from the increase in subordinated liabilities (274.9%), through the issue of Core Tier 1 equity instruments subscribed by the State in the amount of 3,000 million euros, and of the 3.9% increase of customer deposits, which reached 49,390 million euros (47,516 million euros at the end of 2011), as a result of the continued commercial effort to reduce the commercial gap and the attraction and growth of customer balance sheet funds.
Equity evolved from 4,374 million euros at the end of 2011 to 4,000 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (-374 million euros), which includes the neutral effect of the reformulation of equity headings, through reduction of the share capital, alongside an increase in reserves and retained earnings without altering shareholders' equity, in addition to the effect of the share capital increase in 2012, through the public subscription offer reserved for shareholders, whose positive impact on equity came to 500 million euros. In addition, the evolution of equity was largely influenced by the impact of the recording of negative net income for the year of 1,219 million euros, partially offset by the positive variation of fair value reserves of 392 million euros, mainly related to the securities held by Millenniumbcp Ageas, in the proportion of the 49.0% stake held by the Group in this company, and of public debt securities and bonds of other public issuers in the Bank's portfolio.

During 2012, in parallel with a significant improvement of the liquidity gap of the Portuguese banking system, a trend of adjustment of demand and of the funding profile of the economy was observed. Indeed, there was, on the one hand, a contraction in demand for credit by individuals, reflecting the decline in consumer confidence, a decrease in the purchase of durable goods and unfavourable prospects relating to the housing market and, on the other hand, a growing demand from large companies for alternative sources of funding, even though Portuguese banks have continued to ensure, partly through monetary policy operations of the ECB, funding to the most dynamic and competitive segments of the national economy.

(*) Before loans impairment.
Millennium bcp continued to focus on innovation and
adjustment of its value proposal to meet the funding needs of its individual customers and companies, namely through the offer of integrated solutions aimed at rewarding the loyalty of specific customer segments, as well as through the offer of innovative solutions for treasury management and export support, assistance regarding access to agreed credit facilities under protocol and added value services in the investment banking and specialised credit areas.
Loans and advances to customers before impairments fell by 6.5%, to stand at 66,861 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 71,533 million euros recorded at the end of 2011. This evolution was largely determined by the contraction in the activity in Portugal (-9.1%), in spite of the increase recorded in the international activity relative to the end of 2011, influenced by the exchange rate appreciation of the zloty against the euro. However, excluding the foreign exchange rate effect, loans and advances to customers in the international activity decreased in most subsidiaries, despite the growth registered by Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium bim in Mozambique.
The behaviour of loans and advances to customers indicates the contraction both in terms of loans granted to companies (-9.9%), which stood at 33,105 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (36,728 million euros at the end of 2011), and to individuals (-3.0%), reflecting, on the one hand, the impact of the continued deleveraging efforts of the intermediation activity and, on the other hand, the deterioration of the perception of companies and households regarding the economic environment, expressed in the contraction of investment in durable goods and consequent decreased demand for funding.
The slowdown in credit concession to individuals in 2012 resulted mainly from the lower demand for mortgage loans, due to the negative appraisal of the future evolution of disposable household income, and from the higher selectivity in loan concession, namely the lower values of loans relative to the real value of the housing (guarantee), while the retraction in loans to companies continued to take place, essentially, in the activity sectors that are traditionally more dependent on the evolution of internal demand, such as services, commerce and construction.

Between 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012, the structure of the loan portfolio maintained identical patterns of diversification, with loans to companies representing 49.5% of total loans granted, while loans to individuals represented 50.5% of the portfolio of loans to customers.
Loans to individuals stood at 33,756 million euros as at 31 December 2012, having decreased 3.0% compared with 34,805 million euros recorded at the end of 2011, largely determined by the behaviour of mortgage loans, which represented 87.4% of loans to individuals, reaching a total of 29,509 million euros as at 31 December 2012.
The evolution of mortgage loans in 2012 was largely influenced by the performance of the activity in


(*) Before loans impairment.
Portugal (-5.1%), since the international activity increased 3.5% relative to the end of 2011, determined above all by the subsidiaries in Poland and Romania.
Consumer credit stood at 4,247 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 4.497 million euros at the end of 2011, maintaining, however, its relative weight (6.4%) in the structure of the portfolio of loans granted to customers. Both the activity in Portugal, which fell by 8.2% relative to the end of 2011, and the international activity (-1.6%) contributed to this evolution, largely influenced by the performance of the operations in Greece and Mozambique, in spite of the growth in the subsidiary in Poland.
Loans to companies stood at 33,105 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 36,728 million euros as at 31 December 2011. The decrease in loan concession to companies takes place within the scope of the deleveraging process of the national economy, both through the adjustment of company balance sheets resulting in lower demand for loans, in particular of large companies with access to medium to long term funding opportunities in debt markets, and through the persistent limitation of bank access to funding in wholesale markets and consequent greater selectivity in loan concession, despite the support of Millennium bcp to company customers with sustainable economic and financial structures.

In 2012, support continued to be offered to customer companies focused on the production of tradable goods and services and that are export-oriented, as well as the support to enterpreneurial businesses and initiatives through the participation in the credit lines for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME), especially in the PME Crescimento (credit operations with mutual guarantee) and PME Investe/QREN (support to projects approved within the scope of the QREN incentive system) programmes, and within the scope of the protocol celebrated with Turismo de Portugal (support for
companies of the Tourism sector). The performance of loans to companies was largely influenced by the activity in Portugal, which registered a contraction of 12.1%, with particular emphasis on the Corporate and Companies Banking networks, since in the international activity the loans granted to companies were practically unchanged relative to the end of the previous year.
The quality of the loan portfolio, measured by the default indicators, namely by the proportion of overdue loans by more than 90 days as a percentage of total credit, came to 6.2% as at 31 December 2012 (4.5% at the end of 2011), reflecting the deterioration of the economic and financial situation of households and companies and the consequent effect of the materialisation of credit risk in the year.

CREDIT QUALITY
The coverage ratio for overdue loans by more than 90 days covered by impairments stood at 101.6% as at 31 December 2012, compared with 109.1% as at the same date of 2011, in line with the evolution registered in the activity in Portugal, since there was an improvement of the coverage ratio in the international activity.
Non-performing loans which, pursuant to Instruction no. 23/2011 of the Bank of Portugal, includes overdue loans by more than 90 days and doubtful debt reclassified as overdue for the effect of provisioning, accounted for 8.1% of total loans as at 31 December 2012, compared with 6.2% recorded at the end of 2011. In parallel, loans at risk, calculated under the terms defined in the Bank of Portugal instruction, stood at 13.1% of total loans as at 31 December 2012, compared with 10.1% recorded at the end of 2011.

Overdue loans by more than 90 days came to 4,175 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 3,196 million euros as at the same date of 2011. This evolution resulted from the performance of overdue loans in both the activity in Portugal and international activity, reflecting the growing materialisation of credit risk over the course of the year, although largely as a result of the deterioration of the recessionary cycle of economic activity in Portugal.
Overdue loans granted to companies represented 74.4% of total overdue loans in the portfolio as at 31 December 2012, with particular emphasis on the services, construction and commerce sectors. The ratio of overdue loans to companies as a percentage of total loans granted to companies increased to 9.8%, compared with 7.0% recorded at the end of 2011, as a result of the combined effect of the increase in overdue loans and the contraction of loans to companies held in portfolio. As at 31 December 2012,
overdue loans to companies presented a level of coverage of 101.9% by balance of impairments in the balance sheet.
For loans granted to individuals, overdue consumer credit and mortgage loans represented 18.9% and 6.7%, respectively, of the total overdue loans in the portfolio, with a ratio of overdue consumer credit to total consumer credit deteriorating to 19.4%, compared with 14.8% at the end of 2011, while the ratio of overdue mortgage loans remained practically stable in relation to the end of 2011, standing at 1.0% as at 31 December 2012.

In a context of persistence of difficulties in accessing funding on wholesale funding markets, in 2012 the strong competition to attract customer funds continued. These remained the main source of funding for Portuguese banks, even though deposits registered a more moderate growth relative to the previous year, which was associated to a readjustment of financial investments by private individuals, namely the substitution of diversified saving and investment products for bank deposits. In turn, the slowdown in the growth of deposits in 2012 was due to the significant flow of investments in debt securities, particularly from the second quarter, namely in bonds with attractive maturities and returns issued by large companies, without prejudice to the maintenance of the confidence of customers in the banking system.

In this context, Millennium bcp maintained its focus on the attraction and growth of customer funds, extending the offer of solutions concerning programmed small savings and medium to long term investments targeting individual customers and reinforcing its involvement in companies' cash
management, in order to contribute simultaneously to the reduction of the commercial gap and meet the expectations and needs for savings and investment of the different customer segments.
Total customer funds increased by 4.6% to 68,547 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 65,530 million euros recorded at the end of 2011, influenced both in terms of the 5.1% growth of balance sheet funds and the growth (+2.5%) of off-balance sheet funds, relative to the end of 2011.
In the activity in Portugal, total customer funds stood at 50,386 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 49.615 million euros as at 31 December 2011. In the international activity, total customer funds increased by 14.1% to 18,161 million euros at the end of 2012, relative to 15,915 million euros recorded at the end of 2011, largely determined by the performance of Bank Millennium in Poland, with particular emphasis on the growth of customer deposits.
Customer balance sheet funds grew 5.1% to 55,768 million euros as at 31 December 2012, relative to 53,060 million euros at the end of 2011, with emphasis on the increase of customer deposits (+3.9%), in addition to the placement of other savings products and with a stable character, thus continuing to focus on the attraction and growth of customer balance sheet funds with a view towards the sustainable reduction of the commercial gap.
Customer deposits increased by 3.9% to stand at 49,390 million euros as at 31 December 2012, relative to 47,516 million euros at the end of 2011, driven by the international activity which increased by 12.0%, benefiting above all from the performance of Bank Millennium in Poland, but also from the subsidiaries in Switzerland, Romania, Mozambique and Angola.

BALANCE SHEET CUSTOMER FUNDS
Debt securities owed to customers came to 6,378 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 5,544 million euros at the end of the previous year, reflecting the commercial effort in the placement of structured products in 2012, namely in the Retail and Private Banking networks in Portugal, such as "Investimento Mundial" and "Investimento Europa", with guaranteed capital and return indexed to stock market indices.
Customer off-balance sheet funds stood at 12,779 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 12,470 million euros recorded at the end of 2011. This positive evolution represented the inversion of the trend of the previous year and was determined by the favourable performances of both capitalisation products (+2.9%) and assets under management (+1.6%), benefiting from the revaluation of assets in financial markets and from the decreasing attractiveness of term deposits.
Assets under management stood at 3,798 million euros as at 31 December 2012 (3,739 million euros at the end of 2011). This performance was largely determined by the good performance of the international activity, in particular Bank Millennium in Poland and Millennium

Amounts owed to credit institutions and Central Banks less amounts owed by credit institutions came to 12,549 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 13,233 million euros recorded at the end of 2011. This evolution continued, in line with the previous year, to reflect the lower net exposure of the Group to the European Central Bank, as a result of the maintenance of the strategic focus of Millennium bcp in reducing the commercial gap, namely through the growth and attraction of customer balance sheet funds, with a view to, at the same time, the strengthening of stable funding in the funding structure, in a context of persistent restrictions on access to interbank and wholesale markets.
The "Funding and Liquidity" section presents an analysis of the main lines of action and the objectives of Millennium bcp within the scope of the liquidity management priorities defined in the Liquidity Plan for the year under analysis, namely the management of the portfolio of assets eligible for possible refinancing operations, so as to guarantee the convenient funding of the activity in the medium to long term.
The total amount of the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale increased to 10,914 million euros as at 31 December 2012, relative to 6,919 million euros recorded on the same date in 2011. This evolution was largely determined by the constitution in 2012 of a portfolio of commercial paper in the amount of 1,452 million euros and by the increased exposure to Portuguese and Polish public debt, as well as Bonds of other Portuguese issuers.
The portfolio of fixed yield securities, composed mainly by Treasury Bills and other public debt securities, Treasury Bonds and commercial paper which together represent 75% of the fixed yield portfolio and 59% of the total portfolio, stood at 8,609 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 5,322 million euros recorded at the end of 2011, reflecting the impacts mentioned above, namely the reinforcement of the Portuguese and Polish sovereign debt portfolio.
Variable yield securities increased to 962 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 282 million euros recorded at the end of 2011, mainly through the reinforcement of the portfolio of investment fund units.
Trading derivatives came to 1,348 million euros as at 31 December 2012, almost unchanged from the amount recorded on the same date of the previous year (1,320 million euros), to the extent that the decline in the volume of trading of loan derivatives was offset by the simultaneous increase in interest rate swaps and options.

Other on balance sheet items, which include assets with repurchase agreement, hedging derivatives, investments in associates, investment properties, non-current assets held for sale, other tangible assets, goodwill and intangible assets, current and deferred tax assets, and other assets, represented 7.1% of total consolidated assets (7.2% at the end of 2011) reaching a total of 6,345 million euros as at 31 December 2012, compared with 6,751 million euros recorded on the same date in 2011. This evolution is explained essentially by (i) the reduction of derivatives to hedge the Group's exposure to interest and exchange rate risks and (ii) the decline in the balance of other assets as at 31 December 2012, relative to the same date of 2011, related to the operations with securities and loan sales whose financial liquidation was carried over, impacts which were partially offset by the effect of the revaluation of the investment in Millenniumbcp Ageas, in the proportion of the 49.0% stake held by the Group in this insurance company.
Further information and details on the composition and evolution of the abovementioned items are described in Notes 24 to 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in Volume II of the Annual Report for 2012.

(1) Dedicated to companies with an annual turnover of between 2.5 million euros and 50 million euros.
(2) Directed at companies and institutional entities with an annual turnover exceeding 50 million euros.
The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, including the impact from capital allocation and balancing process of each entity, both at balance sheet and income statement levels, based on average figures. Balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit are re-calculated, given the replacement of their original shareholders' equity by the outcome of the capital allocation process, according to regulatory solvency criteria.
Considering that the capital allocation process complies with regulatory solvency criteria currently in place, the weighted risk, as well as the capital allocated to segments, are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of that methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland.
Additionally, the Bank was adopted the standard approach for operational risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, for the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocation for each segment, in 2011 and in 2012, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, with no impact on consolidated accounts.
Information related to 2011 is presented on a comparable basis with the information reported in 2012, reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas referred to in the Segment description described above, and considering the effect of the transfer of clients and also the redeployment of cost of funds held under the rationalization of the business platform.
The net contributions of each segment include, where applicable, the non-controlling interests. Thus, the net contribution reflects the individual results achieved by its business units, independent of the percentage held by the Group, including the impact of movements of funds described above. The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 31December 2012.

(1) Includes commercial paper in the Retail, Companies and Corporate & Investment Banking segments.
Note: Loans to companies and total customer funds on monthly average balances, excluding the foreign business segment.
The Retail segment in Portugal posted a negative net contribution of 135.8 million euros in 2012, compared favourably with the negative amount of 146.4 million euros, posted in 2011.
The decrease in net interest income is due to the lower volume of the loan portfolio and the reduction of the average customer rate for loans, namely mortgage loans, following the fall in the Euribor which serves as the benchmark index. The contraction of the loan portfolio is in line with the strategic priority of reducing the commercial gap, combined with greater selectivity in credit concession and lower demand for loans.
The decrease in other net income is related to lower commissions, in particular those related to loans to customers, despite the higher commissions associated with demand deposits.
Credit impairment charges decreased relative to 2011, as a result of the greater effort undertaken in 2011, essentially reflecting the impact of the Special Inspections Programme (SIP). The commercial gap evolved favourably, relative to 31 December 2011, due to the decrease in loans to customers having exceeded the reduction in balance sheet customer deposits. Loans to customers thus decreased by 6.7%, to stand at 26,166 million euros as at 31 December 2012, following the slowdown in mortgage loans and consumer credit. Total customer funds grew by 1.5%, to stand at 32,758 million euros as at 31 December 2012, resulting mainly from the increase in debt securities.
During 2012, the activity of the Retail Network was constrained by the persistence of the economic and financial crisis and deterioration of the economic and financial conditions of national agents, reflected in the increased unemployment, decline of disposable income, higher uncertainty and reduction of confidence. In this context, the strategic priorities for the development of the activity of the Retail network were essentially based on the completion of the process of segmentation of its Customer base, focus on the growth and retention of Funds, repricing of the credit portfolio, recovery of overdue loans and deleveraging of the balance sheet.
With the implementation of the Customer segmentation plan, the Bank now has a new model of commercial approach which, combined with the implementation of new Customer Intelligence tools, enables improved adjustment of the value proposition to each segment, allowing for the provision of better service to Customers.
Two new integrated solutions were launched in early 2012 - "More Portugal" aimed at Residents Abroad and "Millennium GO! TOP" targeting young people at the beginning of their career. These two novelties reinforced the concept of integrated solution, in existence since 2004, through the Frequent Customer service, enabling the achievement of 650,000 active solutions, reflecting the interest of our Customers in products adjusted to their daily financial needs.
Regarding to the Affluent Segment, particular note should be made of the development of the Prestige Programme, designed to offer more benefits to Customers, with extension of that to their respective family members. At the same time, and as a way of intensifying the involvement of its Customers with the Bank, Millennium bcp has sought to gain a better understanding of the investor profile of each Customer, with a view to improving the service and value proposal presented.
During the first half, the Bank completed a new segmentation of its Corporate Customers, based on their size and overall requirements for financial products and services arising from the type of economic activity developed. This new segmentation and the implementation of a new model of commercial approach have enabled improving the value proposal, offering more personalised monitoring of to a higher number of Customers.
The new segmentation of Customers highlighted the segment of Residents Abroad, with implications on the governance model, through the creation of a new department, reporting directly to the Executive Committee - the Department of Residents Abroad (DREX). This segment is of particular importance to the Bank's strategic objectives of growth of funds and profitability, as well as enhanced proximity to the different Portuguese Communities Resident Abroad.
During 2012, Millennium bcp developed a commercial strategy focused on the growth and retention of customer funds, with the ongoing concern of supporting and monitoring its Customers while the focus on savings underpinned commercial actions.
To this end, various initiatives were carried out which simultaneously sought the stabilisation of the portfolio of savings products, through the launch of medium and long term products, favouring financial investments which contribute to increasing balance sheet funds, and the expansion of the Customer base through the active marketing of products attracting programmed small savings and the success of the share capital increase operation, which was completed in October 2012 and helped increase the Bank's shareholder base.
During the first half of 2012, various products were launched supported by a variety of advertising campaigns of major visibility in the media, in particular the Monthly Income Deposit, the Special One Top Deposit and the Olympic Deposit. Premium Savings was launched in July 2012, with a view to the expansion of the customer base of programmed small savings, based on a minimum value of constitution/top-up of 10 euros, leading to a significant increase in new programmed savings during the second half.
Millennium bcp launched various issues of Short Term Securities, favouring higher investment values, essentially targeting the segment of Affluent Customers.
Regarding the Business segment, the focus on the strategy of attracting customer funds was embodied in the promotion of increased transactions with Customers, a process favoured by the placement of solutions, namely the Frequent Business Customer service, where participation surpassed 39,000 integrated solutions. Other integrated solutions were also produced, through the creation and development of partnerships with external entities, for the purpose of complementing the current offer with non-financial products and services of relevance to business management.

The policy of encouraging Customer loyalty was reaffirmed through the creation of innovative new products in terms of pricing and directed so as to award the best Customers, namely those who have maintained long-standing relations with the Bank. The auto vehicle insurance Móbis was launched for this purpose. Characterised by a simplified process in terms of its simulation and subscription, this product allows the user, with a minimum of interactions (at branches or on the website "millenniumbcp.pt") to obtain a first quote and issue the "provisional certificate" at that time.
Médis Health Insurance represents another example of retention of the loyalty of Millennium bcp Customers. During 2012, a new subscription process was developed, totally online and unique in Portugal, which enables any Millennium bcp Customer to subscribe to this insurance for all household members, in a fully secure and convenient manner. Médis continues to maintain its position as a product and Brand of excellence in the sale of insurance against Risk at Millennium bcp, having been elected "Trustworthy Brand" for the 4th time, "SuperBrand" for the 7th time consecutively, and "Memorable Brand" in the Category of Health Care.
Throughout 2012, there was also renewal of the offer of Plans for the Protection of Salaries, Domiciliation or Payment of Instalments, as well as the reinforcement of Housing Multi-risk coverage which offers "Extension of the Guarantee for Domestic Electrical appliances" coverage. The quality of the offer of these products has also been recognised by consumer defence group Deco, which elected the Mortgage Loan Life Insurance of Ocidental Vida as the "Right Choice".
Regarding the card business in 2012, several initiatives were developed to encourage the purchase and use of cards and defence of the respective P&L account, of which the following are of particular interest: i) Offer of prepaid cards, especially the "Free Refeição", a card which simultaneously enables lower costs for companies and higher disposable income for its employees; ii) Promotion of cash-back conditions and refunding of annuities, relative to the Blue card of American Express with cash-back of 5% on purchases; iii) Launch of the 3-D Secure system, strengthening security in electronic trade; iv) Stimulation of the placement of "Cartões Gémeos", resulting in an additional 25,000 cards; and v) Beginning of the roll-out of the first contactless cards during the last month of 2012.
In 2012, the recessive pressure of the economy determined a negative net change in the invoicing of cards, of 4.6%, from 13.0 billion euros to 12.4 billion euros. However, the portfolio measured in terms of number of cards remained stable throughout the year, with approximately 3 million cards.
In the American Express business area, the acquiring activity was strengthened through the growth of the points of sale network, with an increase of 4,500 new businesses. Multi-issuer acquiring was implemented at the same time in order to accommodate the new issuer of AmEx cards and the maintenance of high services levels were assured to points of sale. As a result, the American Express Acquiring operation was once again distinguished by AmEx/Global Network Services for the size, variety and excellence of coverage and services, ranking it as one of the best acquiring operations of the brand at an international level.
Maintaining its strategic positioning of proximity, convenience and innovation, Millennium bcp has focused on the modernisation of its platforms with a view to facilitating the implementation of its lines of action. The shift of consumer preferences towards alternative channels to the branch has created the need for ongoing innovation, a role that is not neglected by Millennium bcp. As a result, the Bank has developed a series of initiatives, in particular:
Regarding Instruments of Payment and Self Banking, the principal lines of action were concentrated on two main aspects: i) Ongoing search for solutions which reduce the circulation of cash and favour greater attraction in the Business segment, through various commercial actions of placement of Point of Sale Terminals (POS); and (ii) Maintenance and optimisation of the ATM machine network, one of the most modern and sophisticated, representing an offer which is better than that traditionally provided by the network of Multibanco services, with


Direct Banking has defined as a priority the continuity of the provision of an innovative and quality service to Customers using these channels (Internet, telephone, mobile) and services (response to claims). For this purpose, a series of projects have been completed, including: i) Launch of the new website for Individuals, offering a number of new services, in particular, the Personal Finance Manager, the new Investments area and Real Estate, which is of a strategic importance for the Bank's current objectives; ii) Expansion of the Bank's mobile offer which now has a Finance Manager on the Millennium app for iPhone and iPad, as well as a new application for Windows Phone; iii) Renewal of the Business area of the Companies portal and offer of new products relative to Treasury Management, Trade Finance and Factoring; iv) Implementation of the Multi-channel Attendance Platform, a solution which has endowed the call-centre with new technology and new facilities for Customers; v) Implementation of the Internet and Mobile Support Line, a service aimed at clarification and settlement of questions made by Customers who use these channels; and vi) Award of the Call Centre Trophy 2012 in the area of Social Responsibility, an initiative of the IFE/ Callcenter Magazine.
During 2012, another highlight was the introduction of iPAC 3, creating a Unique Platform of Multichannel Service and Customer Contact Management, for use by the branches and the contact centre. This new approach simplifyies the work of the commercial networks, and contributes to the reduction of operating risk.
The persistence of the international economic and financial crisis, the socio-economic context at a national level and the low level of confidence of investors and consumers characterised the entire year of 2012. The introduction of new regulatory frameworks, along with increased banking supervision, namely with respect to the reduction of the commercial gap, adjusting the degree of asset liquidity to the degree of liabilities term, has been reflected in the adoption of stricter credit concession policies.
In spite of the extremely adverse economic scenario, the Bank has continued to support the funding needs of its Customers.Accordingly, Millennium bcp has developed various internal initiatives with a view to increasing Personal Credit, aimed at stimulating consumption, namely through the adjustment of the offer and actions to boost the product.

At the same time, the Bank continued to distinguish the best Businesses Customers through the "Applause Customer" Programme, according to contribution to the economy and involvement with the Bank, strengthening the granting of credit line to commercial activity, and supported business projects and initiatives through agreed credit facilities.
With the goal of preventing overdue credit, the Bank has developed and implemented a series of solutions aimed at overcoming this type of situation and has continued to offer partnership solutions for the settlement of default on Mortgage Loans and Personal Credit, with special focus on periods up to 90 days, acting immediately in the event of default. Therefore, during 2012, the Bank maintained the an intense activity of collection and restructuring of overdue loans in the entire Retail Network, which has contributed to decelerating the growth of non-performing loans.
The management of the deleveraging process was also a priority for 2012.The Bank promoted various campaigns during the year, encouraging the early repayment of the principal of Mortgage Loans, favouring customer's funds acquisition, in order to reduce the commercial gap.
Simultaneously, the Bank maintained its focus on the sale of real estate properties, enabling the release of capital and reduction of the inherent maintenance costs. In view of the impact on the profit and loss account, various publicising and marketing actions were developed, namely alteration of the promotional financing conditions underlying the sale of these properties.
The activity of ActivoBank in 2012 was guided by the strategic objectives of growth of the Customer base and enhancement of the involvement of its Customers with the Bank. The strategic guidelines consisted of the following:
In order to achieve the focus on growth of the Customer base and respective Customer involvement, a series of initiatives were developed throughout 2012, in particular:
In 2012, ActivoBank strengthened its presence with the opening of any Activo Point in Chiado (Lisbon), and another in Norte Shopping, in Matosinhos.
Priority was given to the expansion of the strength of non-banking recommendation, as well as the reinforcement of addressing Employees of companies identified as the Bank's segment, partially capitalising on the expansion of the Activo Point network at a national level.
The three advertising campaigns aimed at the attraction of Customers via radio, television (cable channels), Internet and cinema, carried out during 2012 challenged the market with their irreverence, clearly catching the attention of the target group, first

on the 2nd anniversary of ActivoBank, under the motto "Whenever it's our birthday, the other banks always appear older", and then later in October and December with the campaign "Activo Battles", focusing on the competitive advantages that distinguish ActivoBank from the competition, which led to an increasing recall of the brand and a higher growth rate of its Customer base. Furthermore, the directed communication campaign carried out, promoting the new investments website, together with a stock market promotional offer, enabled the Bank to strengthen one of its main pillars on the market, that of investment.
Throughout the year, the intensification of the permanent advertising presence on the Internet, especially through campaigns on Google and social networks, enabled the development of a channel for the attraction of new Customers aligned with the online behaviour of ActivoBank's target group, composed of recurrent users of search engines such as Google to research and compare a variety of different financial solutions.
ActivoBank has reformulated its offer of insurance, savings and investment products, in order to continue to meet the needs of its Customers. In this regard, the implementation of a new customer relationship management (CRM) and segmentation model developed by the Bank, which seeks firstly to cement the relationship with its Customers concerning daily aspects, and then later focus on meeting the financial needs which arise over the Customers' life-time, represented yet another step towards ensuring sustained and long term involvement with the Customer.
Special note should be made of the launch of the BOOST product, a demand account with the already recognised advantages of ActivoBank in addition to a prepaid card and benefit programme with over 200 partners, targeting Customers aged between 18 and 30 years old, which enabled the Bank to sustain new forms of attracting and retaining Customer loyalty.
The set of actions carried out, combined with the continuous focus on innovation, also contributed to the rise to 40,000 Customers of ActivoBank by 2012, as well as to the recognition of the Bank by the international financial community, expressed in the attribution of awards such as "Best Commercial Bank in Portugal" by the World Finance magazine (Banking Awards 2012), and the awards given in 2012 by Global Finance in the categories of "Best Consumer Internet Bank", "Best Website Design" and "Best in Social Media", all attributed in the context of the European Area.
Companies recorded a negative net contribution of 131.9 million euros in 2012, compared with a negative net contribution of 124.1 million euros in 2011.
The decrease in net interest income in 2012, compared with 2011, resulted from the fall in turnover and the increase in funding cost, despite the effort to reprice credit operations.
With regard to operating costs, the increase registered in 2012 results from the readjustment of the business platform which materialised into a higher number of employees.

The decrease of credit impairment charges, despite the adverse macroeconomic context and the deterioration of the economic and financial conditions of companies, reflects the increase of charges undertaken in 2011 within the scope of the Special Inspections Programme.
Loans to customers decreased by 16.5%, relative to 2011, reaching a total of 9,290 million euros at the end of 2012, with emphasis on funding to customers, syndicated loans, real estate promotion and real estate leasing loans.
Total customer funds fell by 11.8%, relative to 2011, to stand at 2,978 million euros as at 31 December 2012.
The evolution of the Portuguese economy during 2012 was heavily constrained by the implementation of the measures established in the Memorandum of Understanding signed in May 2011 between the Portuguese State, the ECB, the IMF and the European Commission. The need to comply with the measures specifically aimed at the financial sector, namely with respect to capital and deleveraging indicators, was reflected in a greater selectivity by the Financial Institutions in the granting of loans and advances to companies. This factor, combined with the reduction in internal demand, culminated in a strong slowdown of economic activity and in the expressive increase of the number of company insolvencies at a national level. Even so, the positive evolution of exports mitigated the contraction of economic activity, constituting an opportunity for companies, especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).
In this context, during 2012 the activity of the Companies network was guided by the following strategic priorities:
The implementation of the strategy defined above was ensured through the development of a series of initiatives, in particular:
Implementation of new parameters of segmentation in the Companies Network, henceforth defining the SME Network as composed of companies with an annual turnover between 2.5 and 50 million euros, with a view to boosting the creation of value through a more personalised approach.
As a result, in 2012, there was a decrease in the commercial gap of 1.5 billion euros.
Prevention and recovery of overdue credit
Regarding Specialised Credit, the principal lines of action were centred on three aspects: i) selectivity in undertaking new operations based on small and medium-sized businesses; ii) definition of pricing that is adjusted to company risk; and iii) promotions of factoring in view of its potential increase of funds and reinforcement of the position of Millennium bcp as a partner of the Customers in treasury management. For this purpose, the following initiatives were carried out:
The portfolio of leasing and long-term rental (LTR) credit recorded, at the end of 2012, a reduction of 16.6% relative to the same period of the previous year. The new leasing business decreased by 32.3%, to stand at 204 million euros, with real estate leasing having shown an increase of 19.3%, based on the credit restructuring operations and sale of real estate properties of the Bank. The leasing of equipment and vehicles recorded reductions of 65.8%. According to data from the Portuguese Leasing and Factoring Association, in Portugal the new production of real estate leasing declined by 20.8% in 2012 and equipment leasing fell by 44.6%.
Regarding factoring, the invoices taken in 2012 reached a total value of 3,574 million euros, which represents a decrease of 20.5% relative to 2011, with the average credit balance showing a reduction of 23.1%. In terms of the sector, data from the Portuguese Leasing and Factoring Association show a reduction of 20.8%, with the credit portfolio having reached a total of 5,759 million euros.


The Real Estate Business Department (DNI) focused its main strategic priorities for 2012 on four fundamental pillars: i) strengthening of the recovery of loans granted for property development with systematic monitoring and preventative action amongst the property developers; (ii) strengthening of the organic structure of real estate project management; (iii) reduction of the time of legalisation of the properties and consequent increase of the properties placed in condition to be sold; and (iv) boosting of sales. The achievement of these objectives was assured by a series of initiatives which, combined with the completion of the process of reorganisation of the operating structure of the DNI, enabled an optimisation of the real estate business in all its aspects, in particular:
As a result, the balance of the portfolio of property development loans amounted to 2,399 million euros, a decrease of 9.2%, with net interest income improving over 2011, needed to face the growing level of sector risk.
In 2012, the activity of Closed Real Estate Investment Funds showed a negative evolution, having been strongly affected by the sharp retraction of the real estate market in Portugal, widespread on all its business fronts. This situation was further exacerbated by the implementation of a new package of supplementary tax measures which will be extended in 2013, contributing to the contraction of the Real Estate Investment Fund business.
Under this scenario, the strategic direction of Interfundos was based on focus on achieving higher efficiency in the management of the available funds, with a view to the business continuity of the 47 funds under its management, both through the continued development and restructuring of the real estate projects of each fund. At the same time, and counteracting the unfavourable tax environment, Interfundos focused its activity on the preparation of the launch of a group of 4 Closed Private Subscription Real Estate Investment Funds (FIIFSP) and 1 Real Estate Investment Fund for Residential Rentals (FIIAH). In this context, the Securities Market Commission (CMVM) authorised the constitution of the Grand Urban, MR, Imocapital, Predicapital and MRenda Real Estate Investment Funds.
It should be noted in particular that Interfundos consolidated its position of leadership in the market in FIIFSP management in 2012, with a market share of 17.2%, through the management of 47 Real Estate Investment Funds, involving a total of 1,206 million euros of net assets under management, corresponding to an increase of 1.1%, year-on-year.
In 2012, Millennium bcp Microcredit financed 259 new operations, with 3.1 million euros of total credit granted and, helping create 371 jobs (values include transactions made under the protocols with the Associação Nacional de Direito ao Crédito and Região Autónoma dos Açores). The total amount loaned to the 1,035 transactions in the portfolio until 31 December 31 2012 was 9.0 million euros.
There was an increase of 21% in the number of projects financed, the approved credit increased 42.9% and the jobs created had a positive evolution of 17.8%, compared with 2011.
The non-performing loans control remains a constant concern, with default events to be accompanied with flexibility and according to the financial capacity of the clients, through the proposal of repayment plans adjusted to the specific conditions of each micro-entrepreneur.

In 2012, about 41% of micro entrepreneurs who resort to Millennium bcp Microcredit, were in a situation of unemployment, with the increase of a new interested segment, composed of university graduates or finalists, which now represents 13% of the current portfolio.
The strategic priorities of Millennium bcp Microcredit in 2012, were based on the publicising of Microcredit in different regions of the country, through entities of local action closest to the target population, namely City Halls, Parish Councils, Universities and Vocational Schools. It also streamlined coordinated with the Bank's Retail Network, enabling the generation of synergies.
The Corporate & Investment Banking segment recorded a net contribution of 8.5 million euros in 2012, compared with the net contribution of 18.2 million euros in 2011.
The increase in credit impairment charges, relative to 2011, results from the increase in signs of impairment inthe loan portfolio, following the persistence of an adverse macroeconomic context, and of the deterioration of the economic and financial conditions of companies, namely in the construction and tourism sectors.
The 4.4% increase in net interest income is associated to the decrease of the customer rate on customer funds. In turn, the decrease in other net income also results mainly from the lower commissions related to financial services and credit operations.
Loans to customers decreased by 9.9% relative to the previous year, to stand at 12,456 million euros, with emphasis on the decrease of funding in national currency, loans for real estate development and commercial paper.
Total customer funds decreased by 3.5%, to stand at 11,164 million euros as at 31 December 2012, as a result of the decrease in debt securities, despite the increase in deposits.
The implementation of the measures stipulated in the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Portuguese State, in May 2011, were embodied in an austerity policy which constrained the evolution of the Portuguese economy in an expressive manner in 2012 and likewise the activity of companies with operations based in Portugal, consisting of a strong incentive for them to target markets abroad, contributing to the correction of the Portuguese external deficit.
The strategic priorities of the Corporate Network in 2012 consisted of the:
Maximisation of profitability, pursuant to a paradigm of management of reciprocal arrangements with Customers who have greater shares of credit and adjustment of the pricing of credit operations to the evolution of the risk of companies.
Particular note should be made of the following initiatives developed with a view to implementing the priorities referred to above:
Reduction of the commercial gap
With a view to responding to the new challenges posed in terms of relations with larger Company Customers, the Bank created the Large Corporates Department at the end of 2012, whose objective is the monitoring of a selected set of Groups called "Large Corporates", which, in addition to Portugal, currently develop (or are in progress of developing) their activity in various geographic areas, namely Poland, Angola, Mozambique and the East, aimed at creating Treasury, Investment Banking, Trade Finance and other operations. Hence, apart from the franchise in Portugal, making the most of the Group synergies of BCP in the different geographic areas in which it is present, it will now be possible to place at the service of Customers excellent products and services which will enable them to enter and develop their business in these geographic zones with the quality and security offered by Millennium bcp in its activity, combined with the high value added brought in by local partners.
With a market share close to 7%, representing a modest improvement relative to 2011, the Bank maintained a reference position on Euronext Lisbon in 2012. Even in an adverse context, it was possible to attract even more Customers for direct access to the trading room and also maintain strong activity in the publicising of the national market to resident and non-resident investors. The work developed by the research team kept up its past consistency, reflected in the contents published on websites and in the service rendered to national and international institutional Customers. Continuing its innovative programme, Millennium bcp consolidated its preeminent leadership in the trading of passive management products on Euronext Lisbon, with a market share above 50%. The exponential growth of the turnover of Certificates highlights the importance of Millennium bcp as an issuer of Certificates and the growing interest shown by medium-high wealth individuals in this type of investment in stock markets, benefiting from the positive performance of the main indices over the last three years. The expected continuation of their favourable evolution on stock markets during 2013 enables perceiving, with enthusiasm, the challenge of strong growth of these investments.
In the debt segment, the year of 2012 was marked by the return of Portuguese issuers to the international debt market. Indeed, the more positive confidence of investors during the second half of the year was reflected in a considerable narrowing of the spreads on the secondary market and resulted in opening various windows of opportunity for the undertaking of new public issues on the international debt market, which were seized by several issuers. In this regard Millennium investment banking acted as the joint issuer of the issues of EDP (750 million euros) and Brisa Concessão Rodoviária (300 million euros). This operation was particularly distinguished by the specialised press at a European level, due to the interest it raised amongst a very broad base of investors and due to representing the reopening of the international market to Portuguese issuers. At a domestic level, the deleveraging process, transversal across the entire Portuguese financial system, greatly limited the undertaking of new operations. In this context and on the Portuguese market, special mention should be made of the Commercial Paper Issue Programme led by the Bank for Estoril Sol III (20 million euros) and the issue of bonds for the Pestana Group (20 million euros). The corporate bond issue market for the retail segment (small savers) continued to be very buoyant, with Millennium investment banking having jointly led the Public Subscription Offers of bonds of EDP (250 million euros), Brisa Concessão Rodoviária (225 million euros), PT (400 million euros) and FC Porto SAD (30 million euros). It should also be noted that in the first half of 2012, the Bank structured two securitisation operations based on assets derived from Millennium bank in Greece: Kion Mortgages No.3, composed of the securitisation of a portfolio of mortgage loans to individuals, and Kion CLO No.1, which involved a portfolio of credit to companies. Both these securitised portfolios included credit denominated in euros and Swiss francs. We also highlight the activity developed in the organisation and placement of structured products, under a commercial effort aimed at the attraction of stable Customer funds, developed by the Retail Networks and by Private Banking. The total value placed reached approximately 2,852 million euros. Amongst the different structures, special note should be made of Investimento Mundial and Investimento Europa, equity products whose yield is associated to the performance of shares and share indices, reflecting greater Customer demand for potentially high yield products in view of the decline in the interest rates of risk-free investment products.
In spite of difficulties related to the macro and microeconomic environment, during 2012, positive results continued to be achieved from the sale of treasury products, both in the area of cash products (spot and forward foreign exchange transactions, short term investments and loans at fixed interest rates), and regarding interest rate, exchange rate and commodity risk hedge derivative products. Although the deleveraging process has limited the opportunities to hedge new operations, the renegotiation or refinancing of existing operations has been reflected in the need for adjustment of hedge structures on the part of some Customers.
In the area of corporate finance, the Bank participated in various major projects, in particular the financial advisory services provided to EDP in the operation of structuring and placement of an issue of bonds targeted at the national retail sector. The Bank continued to develop various projects providing advisory services to Customers in the merger and acquisition segment, where its action as financial advisor of the SGC Group in the sale of Biovegetal, and valuation of Dierre Ibérica were particularly noteworthy. It should also be noted that Millennium investment banking was mandated by Parpública to undertake the economic and financial appraisal of Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo, under the process of privatisation of this company, and likewise, the economic and financial appraisal of CTT – Correios de Portugal. Millennium investment banking successfully provided financial advisory services to VINCI – Concessions, S.A.S., the winning company of the privatisation tender of ANA – Aeroportos de Portugal, S.A. Millennium investment banking provided financial advisory services to EDP in relation to the entry of CTG as a minority shareholder and holder of supplies of wind farms in Portugal's EDPR, under the strategic partnership EDP / CTG in the context of the acquisition by CTG to Parpública of a
share holding of 21.35% in EDP. The signing of the transaction was completed in December 2012, with the financial closing and settlement scheduled for the first half of 2013.
During 2012, the Bank maintained an active role in the area of equity capital markets, where we highlight the overall joint coordination of the organisation and structuring of the Public Acquisition Offer of Brisa – Autoestradas de Portugal, S.A., announced by Tagus Holdings S.a.r.l., a company held by the José de Mello Group and Arcus Infrastructure Partners, the overall coordination of the Public Acquisition Offer of Fisipe – Fibras Sintéticas de Portugal, S.A., announced by the SGL Carbon Group, as well as the organisation and structuring of the Bank's own share capital increase, of the value of 500 million euros.
In the area of structured finance, Millennium investment banking successfully completed the financial restructuring processes of the Soares da Costa, Monte and Edifer groups, having, relative to the two latter groups, carried out the divestment of loans to an Investment Fund, and also participated in medium term syndicated loans to support their activity. The restructuring of a syndicated loan of 50 million euros was also carried out (in which the Bank holds close to 14%) granted to Holmes Place Iberia Group. This restructuring involved alteration of the corporate structure and new capital inputs, by the banking syndicate and new shareholders.
For 2013, the strategic guidelines for the area of Investment Banking are based on the maintenance of the focus on products and structures that enable increasing and diversifying the Bank's sources of financing, the maintenance of its position as a reference institution in the national market, the continuation of the activity's international expansion, namely through the offer of advisory services in project and/or corporate finance, preferably in countries where Millennium bcp is already present, also exploring potential opportunities in the strategic axis of China/Macau - Portuguese-speaking Africa - Europe, and close monitoring of the Customers and operations currently in the portfolio.

The strategic priority of the Financial Institutions Group of the International Department was to continue disclosing economic and financial information on the country and the Bank in the approximately 350 meetings held with the areas of credit and relations with the financial entities with which the Bank works.
Focus was placed on maintaining and attracting new facilities and ceilings to ensure the international operations of Customers and on publicising multilateral trade programmes to support external trade operations and investment projects, with a view to mitigating risk and lower capital consumption.
Initiatives were developed to make a difference to the service, quality and range of products offered, which was reflected, by the end of 2012, in the following market shares: 41% of total assets under custody held by non-resident institutional investors in the national market; 25% of commercial payments; and 24% of the export support business.
The service of institutional custody of securities, provided throughout 2012, merited the attribution of the highest classification of "Top Rated" by Global Custodian magazine, a highly reputed leader in the coverage of this industry.
Millennium Trade Solutions, the centre of competences of the International Department, covering all aspects of the international business from treasury management to trade finance, directly supported over 5,000 export companies.
The team of specialists was strengthened over 2012 in order to meet the requests of Customers seeking advice on the geographic areas where they intend to operate or the most suitable financial solutions to export with security and minimum risk.
In 2013, the Bank will continue to deepen its relations with export/import companies in relation to trade finance, presenting encompassing value propositions in accordance with the Customers' internationalisation needs. The offer of products and services will be improved through greater coordination with the banks of the Group and partner banks.
The Asset Management & Private Banking segment, considering the geographical segmentation criteria, registered a net contribution of 13.3 million euros in 2012, compared favourably with the negative net contribution of 56.7 million euros in 2011.
The increase in net interest income is underpinned by the Private Banking business in Portugal, reflecting the effort to reprice credit operations.
The decrease in credit impairment charges results from the increase of charges undertaken in 2011, despite the adverse macroeconomic context and the deterioration of economic conditions.
The decrease in operating costs results from the decrease in staff costs, as a result of the readjustment of the business platform which led to a fall in the number of employees.
Loans to customers decreased 26.3% overall, relative to 31 December 2011, mainly as a result of the contraction of the loan portfolio of International Private Banking.
Total customer funds decreased by 4.0% relative to 2011, to stand at 5,664 million euros as at 31 December 2012, influenced by the decrease in customer deposits and assets under management, despite the increase in debt securities.
The Asset Management area incorporates Millennium Gestão de Ativos, covering the activities of management, development and promotion of securities and real estate investment funds of the brand Millennium on the domestic market, Millennium Sicav, which groups 4 sub-investment funds incorporated in Luxembourg, targeting institutional investors and Customers of the Group abroad, and the discretionary management of individual portfolios.
2012 was, in general, a positive year for Asset Management activity, concerning the performance of the securities investment funds on the domestic market, and very challenging, regarding the net income of the Asset Management business area as a whole. This performance essentially reflects the negative evolution of net commissions, partially offset by strict and permanent cost control. The evolution of net commissions was particularly impaired by the downward trend in the evolution of real estate funds and the impact of non-recurring redemptions recorded in May and June in domestic mutual funds and Sicav.
Millennium was not offset by the benefits resulting from changes in the rate of commission distribution applied since the beginning of the year and the gradual growth of turnover, since the start of the 2nd half and marked the last quarter, the activity Management Discretionary Funds and Securities. Reducing the level of operating costs by approximately 6% reflects fewer charges registered with the pension fund, the non-recurring costs related to the implementation of the restructuring process, and, significantly, the savings achieved in most other aggregates administrative costs.
The adverse context, especially in first half of the year, caused an important impact on turnover and therefore unable to maintain the level of return in all business units of the Asset Management area.
In 2012, we highlight the performance of the Millennium investment funds, in particular with respect to the activity of Millennium Gestão de Ativos in the national market. All the securities investment funds showed positive one year returns, with one only exception, which is related to good markets performance at the year end and the adequation of the management strategy.
In terms of relative performance, Millennium funds of fund, European shares and (one of the) PPR (Retirement Savings Plan) categories compared favourably with the domestic competition of securities funds, holding the three first places of the national ranking by category of one year return, published by the Portuguese Association of Investment Funds, Pensions and Assets (APFIPP). Particular note should be made of Millennium Eurocarteira fund, which consistently showed the best performance of its category since the beginning of the year –first place in a total of 15 Stock Funds of the EU, Switzerland and Norway.
Regarding the behaviour of the open real estate investment funds, in spite of the deterioration of the indicators of the Portuguese economy, most of these funds recorded positive returns, albeit with a downward trend.
The AF Portfólio open fund followed the market trend, penalised by the difficulties portrayed in the main segments, namely with respect to asset devaluation, rent reductions, default and sluggish demand for vacant properties.
In 2012, Millennium Asset Management maintained its 5th position in terms of market share of domestic securities investment funds, measured by the volume of assets under management. Although having shown overall growth of 5.5% during the year, the rate was lower than that of the market.
The domestic industry of securities investment funds grew by 13.5% in terms of total volume of assets under management, which was even more impressive considering that this represented an inversion relative to previous years, in particular since 2009, having grown from 10,835 million euros in 2011 to 12,295 million euros in 2012. Millennium Asset Management increased by 5.5% having grown from 937 million euros to 988.6 million euros, corresponding to a market share of 8.0%, a minor reduction relative to the share in the beginning of the year, which stood at 8.7%. Limiting the analysis to the universe of harmonised funds, which represent approximately half the market, Millennium Asset Management held a market share of 13.8%, slightly lower than that of the previous year (14.9%).
This growth resulted partially from the promotion of commercial activity, which sought to respond to the preference demonstrated by the Customers, mostly with a conservative profile, for investments characterised by low volatility and almost immediate availability, as a result of the current climate of risk aversion, and took place in harmony with the strategy of the commercial networks which constitute the main placers of Millennium investment funds - the retail network and private banking network.
The restructuring of the offer of securities funds carried out by Millennium Asset Management, as well as various adjustments of commission rates have produced a favourable impact on the activity.
In terms of classes of funds, Millennium Asset Management has maintained its leadership of one of the segments of funds with highest value added - Funds of Funds - with a market share of 55.6% - and upheld the second place in Funds of Assets, with a market share of 19.8%. It has also achieved second place in Floating Rate Bond Funds (31.9%), representing close to one third of the market.
Concerning the real estate investment funds managed by Millennium Asset Management, the volume of assets under management stood at 350 million euros in 2102, 9.0% less than in 2011. However, it is important to note that most of the open real estate investment funds on the market showed a decline (- 2.6%). The redemptions observed, namely by private investors, are largely explained by the decline in the yield of funds which took place during 2012.
With respect to the funds marketed abroad, the amount of assets under management of the Millennium Sicav funds, domiciled in Luxembourg, showed a decrease of 70,9%, having fallen from 227 million euros managed at the end of 2011 to 66 million euros, corresponding to a reduction of 160 million euros following redemptions by institutional Customers.
The strategic priorities of Private Banking, underlying the commercial action in 2012, consisted of the:
These strategic priorities are embodied in the commitment of Private Banking to careful and personalised follow-up, cementing relations of trust and seeking to adjust the offer to the Customers' risk profile on the one hand, while monitoring and stimulating the performance of the portfolios on the other hand.
The commitment referred to above is based on the Advisory model, one of the pillars of the value proposal of Private Banking, which has been consolidated over time through close collaboration between the teams of Investment Specialists and Private Bankers and the monitoring of the Investment Control Committee.
During 2012, the following initiatives were of particular importance:
For 2013, the comercial dynamics of the Private Banking network will continue to pursue its challenge of placing the diversity of the offer and quality of service as differentiating factors for the Customer and contributing to the sustained growth of the Bank.
The negative net contribution of the Foreign Business segment, considering the geographical segmentation criteria, of 56.0 million euros in 2012, compares unfavourably with the positive 177.8 million euros registered in 2011. This performance was determined by the operation in Greece, despite the positive evolution of the contribution of the operations in Poland, Mozambique and Angola.
The decrease in net interest income relative to the same period of 2011 is mainly due to the Greek operation and is supported by the increase in customer rates on deposits and by the higher funding costs in the monetary market. The solid performance of the operations developed in Poland and Angola is worthy of mention.
The increase in other net income reflects primarily the performance of the operations in Greece, Mozambique and Angola.
Operating costs decreased by 1.1% relative to 2011, influenced by the reductions posted in Greece, Romania and Poland, which offset the increases registered in Mozambique and Angola, as a result of the organic growth strategy.
The increase in credit impairment charges relative to 2011 is associated with the higher level of provisioning recorded in the subsidiaries in Greece, Poland and Romania, partially offset by the lower charges in Mozambique, Angola and Switzerland.
Total customer funds increased by 14.1%, to stand to 18,161 million euros as at 31 December 2012, with emphasis on the 12.0% year-on-year increase in deposits. The growth of the balance sheet funds registered in the operations in Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Mozambique and Angola is worthy of mention.
Loans to customers increased by 0.1%, to stand at 16,327 million euros as at 31 December 2012, in which the decrease in operations in the Cayman Islands, Greece, Switzerland and Mozambique was only partially offset by the increases registered in Poland, Romania and Angola.
Bank Millennium announced a new strategy for 2013-2015 at the end of October 2012, at the time of the third quarter earnings presentation. The definition of the new strategy was based on the future prospects for the macroeconomic environment, trends for the banking industry in Poland and the ambition to achieve a higher performance and generate value for Shareholders, Customers and Employees.
The macroeconomic scenario for Poland assumes moderately optimistic medium term prospects, consisting of positive conditions to support banking business growth, in spite of the volatility induced by the sovereign debt crisis. On the other hand, unfavourable circumstances such as the recent slowdown of GDP growth, increased unemployment and the level of credit default continues to justify conservative risk management practices.
The medium term objectives defined for 2015, pursuant to the new strategy consist of achieving:
The strategic priorities for 2013-2015 involve:
Bank Millennium will seek to implement the following actions with a view to undertaking the strategic initiatives:
With a view to ensuring the sustainable growth of Bank Millennium, all strategic initiatives should ensure a high capital base, comfortable liquidity, conservative risk management, permanent cost control and simplified processes. Bank Millennium closed 2012 with a strong position of capital and liquidity, a Core Tier I ratio standing at 12.9%, clearly above the objective assumed under the new medium term strategy, and a loan-to-deposit ratio below 100%. Bank Millennium also managed to improve the efficiency of its operations, with its cost-to-income ratio standing below 60%. In terms of profitability,
net income increased in relation to 2011 in spite of the return on equity having been affected by the strengthening of equity, induced by the supervisor's recommendations for Polish banks to retain the entire profit for 2011 in their capital base.

In spite of some slowdown of the Polish economy since the third quarter of 2012, Bank Millennium achieved a solid business volumes growth. In 2012, total customer funds increased by 13.0%, as a result of the concentration on sales efforts, adjustment of pricing and targeted product campaigns. In turn, Bank Millennium's credit portfolio reached 41.5 billion zlotys by the end of 2012, corresponding to a decrease of 2.5%. However, in euros and due to the apreciation of zloty, credit portfolio increased by 6.6%. Mortagage loans (which represent 66.1% of the credit portfolio) fell by 3.6%, standing at 27.4 billion zlotys by the end of 2012, as a result of the exchange rate evolution which particularly affected this portfolio. Consumer credit reached 3.4 billion zlotys at the end of 2012, having increased by 5.1%. Loans to companies (including leasing) decreased by 2.1% in 2012, accounting for 25.7% of total credit portfolio.

The solid growth of volumes was accompanied by NIM stability, in spite of the decline in market interest rates during the 2nd half of 2012, enabling a recovery of net interest income, which is the main component of banking income. Net interest income reached 278.2 million euros, representing an increase of 0.3% relative to 2011. Operating costs fell by 1.7% in relation to 2011, to stand at 268.5 million euros, essentially reflecting the 3.7% reduction of other administrative costs. Staff costs increased by 1.9% in 2012, as a result of increased social security contributions in 2012. The combination of banking income growth, stable operating costs and increased impairment charges resulted in a slightly higher net income (in zloty) than in 2011.
2012 was also a year that was particularly focused on the definition of the highest standards in terms of the quality of the service provided to Customers. A special project aimed at improving quality was implemented in 2011, covering the areas of Customer relations, namely branches, call centres, Internet services and back office. During 2012, the bank continued this project and its results can be perceived through the external recognition gained by Bank Millennium: "The Best and Friendliest Internet Bank" and "The Second Friendliest for Individuals" granted by Newsweek, with the Bank awarded the highest classifications in the categories of communication channels, operations, service quality, Customer acquisition and retention; "The Best Internet Bank for Clients in Central and Eastern Europe" by Global Finance; "The Medal-Winning Bank in the Service Quality Programme" by the Polish weekly Wprost; and "The Second Best Bank for Companies" by Forbes, for the quality of the offer and service in the SME segment.
Service quality improvement has been one of the pillars continuously developed by the bank over the past few years with a view to support business growth. The other pillars constitute the current strengths of the bank and include a well-distributed branch network supported by a multi-channel infrastructure, high recognition of the brand and a successful franchise in mortgage loans, credit cards and specialised credit (leasing and factoring).
Millennium bank operates in Greece since 2000. Its activity is focused on Retail through a universal offer of a complete range of financial products and services for affluent and business Customers via a unique multi-segment network. Millennium bank's customer base of around 500 thousand Customers served through a unified network of 120 branches, located over the entire national territory of Greece.

The banking system continued to face unprecedented challenges in 2012 through the combined effects of the adverse economic conditions (the Greek economy is undergoing its 5th consecutive year of recession), loss of access to international markets, outflow of deposits (76 billion euros over the last 3 years), and the restructuring of Greek sovereign debt. The outflow of deposits from the Greek banking system reached 13 billion euros in 2012, leading the banks to use the ECB and the Greek Central Bank funding through the ELA (Emergency Liquidity Assistance). The poor macroeconomic prospects have increased non performing loans and consequent increase in impairment charges, combined with the insufficient capitalisation after participation in the Private Sector Involvement plan (PSI) and additional requirements arising from the new regulatory framework.
In December 2012, the Bank of Greece announced after an assessment of needs to restructure and recapitalize the Greek banking system, the allocation of an amount of 50 billion euros for the implementation of the economic adjustment program, with the purpose of the restructuring and recapitalization of the banking sector in Greece, to be finalized by April 2013.
Millennium bank has continued to rapidly adjust to the increased uncertainty in the market, by focusing on four strategic pillars:
The intensification of the economic recession and developments in the sovereign debt crisis were reflected in the earnings.

On the commercial front, the bank focused on expanding customer deposits with a view to improving its deposit base, as well as on repricing efforts and increased commission rates. 2012 also represented a year of innovation in Millennium bank's alternative distribution channels. The mobile banking launched in December 2011 introduced new functionalities, including a larger number of transactions, information on credit cards, a graphic presentation of the bank's commercial relation with the Client and credit card expenses by category, a functionality for branch location and "take me there", as well as a news section keeping Customers close to the bank wherever they are. eBanking continues to offer updated services to users with an improved view of the relationship with the Client (graphic presentation of the overall relationship and credit card expenses by category of expenditure) and more transactions at a low cost but with maximum convenience and security.
At the same time, non-Customers are offered improved services through the bank's marketing website with the option of opening an account online or taking out motor vehicle insurance and issuing the contract at home merely through a few clicks (also available for Customers). Regarding the Contact Centre, there has been an improvement in services with 168 new payments available, while the information on the bank's products and services is also available via the "Click to Call" functionality (through the marketing website), with Millennium bank currently being the only bank offering this service in Greece. The latest innovation in the bank's ATM network, providing a new demonstration of mobile banking at all ATM's in-lobby, as well as the introduction of payments through the debit of an account.

In view of the prevailing conditions under current circumstances, the strategic objectives of Millennium bank for 2013 continue to focus on the strengthening of solvency and liquidity ratios as well as the rigorous management of credit risk. Moreover, the bank will continue to improve efficiency, benefiting from the process of organisational simplification, the business model and attraction of business opportunities arising from the economic recovery and process of consolidation of the Greek banking sector.
Banca Millennium, a greenfield operation launched in Romania in 2007, currently operates with a network of 65 branches, which includes 7 corporate centres located in the main Romanian cities. In completing its 5th anniversary, Banca Millennium has consistently strengthened its position in the Romanian banking sector, supported by the sustainable business growth and a growing reputation in the market.

2012 continued to be marked by a highly competitive environment in the Romanian banking sector, further fuelled by the deceleration of GDP and by the fact that this sector is very fragmented, with over 40 banks developing their activity, most of them with market shares below 1%. As a result, the cost of funding remained high, in particular funds in foreign currency, exacerbated by the fact that the parent companies of the main Romanian banks no longer grant funds to their subsidiaries. The banking sector has also been penalised by the implementation of important regulatory changes which have limited the concession of loans in foreign currency, implying a switch to local currency loans. Consequently, the combined effect of the sluggish demand for deposits with the restrictive policies on credit concession has constrained the expansion of the latter. The deceleration of GDP together with a devaluation of the collateral underlying mortgage loans resulted in maximum historical values for credit impairment.
In spite of the extremely adverse and challenging environment for the development of banking activity in 2012, Banca Millennium has continued to consolidate its position in the Romanian banking sector through the expansion of its customer base and increased business volumes. In this context, the following strategic priorities were defined:

Change of credit concession policy by reducing the share of loans in foreign currency.
Compliance with the strategic objectives defined above was ensured through a series of lines of action, in particular:
of consumer loans portfolio in default, carried out in June 2012, in the amount of 20.8 million euros, contributed positively to the improvement of credit quality indicators.
During 2012, the Bank managed to uphold a solid situation in terms of solvency, at values above the average for the sector and in line with its peers. This factor benefited from the maintenance of a conservative approach to risk management, enhanced by the injection of capital of 20 million euros, concluded in February 2012.
At the same time, Banca Millennium continues to show comfortable levels of liquidity, with the loan-todeposit ratio remaining stable throughout 2012, a situation favoured by the stand-by credit facility of 75 million euros and by the extension, until 2016, of a medium term loan of the value of 150 million euros, both granted by the parent company.

In spite of the trend of reduction of net losses observed up to the end of 2011 and the significant cut in operating costs, the Bank's net income deteriorated in 2012. Various factors contributed to this scenario, especially the following: i) High provisioning effort, following the deterioration of the financial situation of various companies which were under a process of recovery in the medium term; ii) Devaluation of the collateral underlying the real estate loans; and iii) Necessity of the partial annulment of the deferred tax created in 2009 by the Bank which, according to the forecasted business projections, will generate insufficient taxable revenue until 2016 to compensate for the use of total fiscal losses of 2009.
The performance of income was relatively modest, having been constrained by the low rate of attraction of new Customers, which affected the business volumes' growth and earnings derived from cross-selling, in spite of the positive impacts of deposits cost reduction and repricing of the companies loans portfolio.
In 2013, Banca Millennium will focus on the significant improvement of net income, in order to contribute positively to the achievement of the break-even point forecast for 2014. Hence, the principal initiatives to be developed during this next financial year will concentrate on increasing the income base, in particular through: i) Expansion of the customer base, mainly in Retail; ii) Growth of the deposit base, increasing the share of current accounts so as to decrease the cost of funds; and iii) Boosting of the activity of granting loans to SMEs, especially in specific economic sectors, aimed at maximising revenue derived from cross-selling. Simultaneously, the Bank intends to maintain its strategic guidelines concerning improved efficiency, through strong cost discipline and streamlining of processes related to key businesses. Although the targets that have been defined are fairly ambitious, Banca Millennium intends to uphold a conservative policy in line with the economic reality, in order to ensure appropriate levels of solvency and liquidity.
Millennium bcp Banque Privée, constituted in Switzerland in 2003, is a private banking platform offering services to Group's Customers with high net worth, namely on matters of discretionary management, with financial advisory and order execution services.
One of the key strategic priorities in 2012 consisted in positioning the bank as a pure asset management player, reducing the loan to assets under management ratio, through the reduction of the Clients credit portfolio. During 2012, the bank managed to reduce its credit portfolio from 406 million euros to 280 million euros, concentrating the deleveraging effort on high risk loans and simultaneously improving the diversification of the assets used as collateral.

The focus on deleveraging resulted in increased profitability associated with lower level of loan impairment. Additionally, in 2012, Millennium bcp Banque Privée proceeded to a restructuring of IT costs, credit repricing and commission increase and the impacts will be fully visible in 2013, when new initiatives to reduce costs, in order to improve profitability, will be implemented.
The reduction of the loan portfolio, as well as the use of equity and customer deposits to finance short term loans through exchange rate swaps, enabled the bank to achieve autonomy in terms of funding, significantly reducing interest and equivalent costs and substantially increasing its contribution to the Group's liquidity.

The robustness of its equity, high solvency level and maintenance of appropriate liquidity levels are among the main indicators which make Millennium bim the most solid bank of the Mozambican market.
In the ranking defined by the magazine The Banker, in relation to the 300 most important African banking institutions, Millennium bim is the number one Mozambican bank, holding the 65th position of the ranking, thus reflecting the commitment and contribution assumed in the economic and financial development of Mozambique, as well as its leadership role in the process of increasing the banking penetration level.
Positioned as a universal Bank, Millennium bim has cemented its leadership with a value proposal sustained on 3 pillars: i) the implementation of a segmentation strategy for its Customers portfolio, which exceeded 1.17 million of Customers in December 2012; ii) the launch of innovative products and services in order to meet Customers' needs and expectations; and iii) the maintenance of the branch network expansion plan.
The bank has developed a value proposal for the Prestige segment, a dynamic and competitive sector, and adjusted its Corporate offer to the needs of Mozambican companies. This way, the bank maintained its leadership position in the Corporate, Prestige (Companies and Individuals) and Retail Banking segments during 2012.
In addition to new spaces designed specifically for the comfort and convenience of its Customers, the Prestige offer included value proposals that were innovative and differentiating on the market which are now being offered to Individual and Company Customers. The respective proposals offer not only a personalised and proximity service, but also a series of advantages in terms of debit and credit cards, insurance, transfers, the use of automatic channels, amongst others.
Pursuing its leadership tradition and search to surpass the requirements of its external and internal Customers, Millennium bim has continued to present market innovations, namely introducing applications which significantly simplify banking operations at branches, offering a differentiated Internet banking solution on the Mozambican market, thus expanding the set of functionalities at the disposal of Customers, introducing the "confirming" concept, as well as computerised solutions which facilitate the management and payment of customs duties, collection of social levies, and payment of social security contributions.
These factors greatly contributed to Millennium bim's repeated distinctions, by various national and foreign institutions, for Best Bank and Best Financial Group in Mozambique, in addition to receiving a large number of other distinctions, namely: "Bank of the Year in Mozambique" attributed by The Banker of Financial Times; "Best Bank in Mozambique" by EMEA Finance, as well as "Best Banking Group in Mozambique" by the World Finance and "Bank of the Year in 2012" by InterContinental Finance.
Furthermore, Millennium bim was distinguished as the "Best Brand of Mozambique in the banking sector" by the multinational GFK, and considered an excellent "Superbrand" by Superbrands Mozambique. Amongst the many awards received, Millennium bim was also distinguished with the "International Quality Summit Award" by BID-Business Initiative Directions.
The exchange rate stability of the metical and inflation rate control, which stands at historically low values, led to a change in the Bank of Mozambique's monetary policy, reflected in the reduction of the Permanent Lending Facility by 550 basis points (6 cuts over the year). These alterations constituted a clear sign of support for the country's credit expansion, albeit with a negative impact on the net interest income of the banking system.
In spite of the economic circumstances, the consolidated net income of Millennium bim reached 3.14 billion meticais, approximately 86 million euros, achieving a return on equity (ROE) above 26%. By the end of the year, total assets reached 73 billion meticais, corresponding to year-on-year growth above 18%. Notwithstanding the impact of the branch network expansion programme (exerting upward pressure on costs) and the macroeconomic situation (narrowing margins), cost-to-income ratio remained at a level below 45%.

Banco Millennium Angola (BMA) was constituted on 3 April 2006 through the transformation of the local branch into a bank under Angolan law. Benefiting from the strong image of the Millennium bcp brand, BMA presents distinctive characteristics such as innovation and dynamic communication, availability and convenience.

BMA also aspires to become an important partner of oil sector companies, through the constitution of a specific corporate centre, providing trade finance operations to these companies.
The Bank established the main strategic guidelines for 2012 as being the growth of the business, which includes the expansion of the customer base, strengthening of its position on the market, through the increased attraction of funds in all business segments, and the higher penetration of financial products amongst Customers.

Millennium bcp's presence in the East goes back to 1993. However, it was only in 2010 that the Macau branch's activity was expanded, through the attribution of a full license (onshore), aimed at establishing an international platform for business operations within the strategic diamond of affinity geographical areas: Europe, Brazil, China and Portuguese-speaking Africa.
The principal strategic guidelines in 2012 consisted of reinforcing relations with the geographical areas of affinity - China, Portuguese-speaking Africa and Brazil, strengthening the Bank's presence in the local economy, viewing to increase balance sheet funds of exclusively local origin, and expanding the services offer to the Bank's different networks through the Macau Platform.
In accordance with these guidelines, various initiatives were implemented, amongst which, in particular, the development of a commercial operations settlement platform especially directed at supporting Portuguese companies exploring Portuguese-speaking geographic areas where Millennium operates, the actions to attract new Institutional and Company Customers in the region of the Pearl River Delta, (a key economic centre of Southern China) and the intensification of support to Portuguese Entrepreneurs intending to internationalise their companies, for internationalisation options in markets such as Mozambique, Angola, Poland and China (Macau), capitalising on the experience and presence of Millennium in these geographic areas.
During 2012, customer deposits increased significantly to 1.160 billion euros, with the credit portfolio having recorded a similar evolution, reaching 1.032 billion euros, with the loan-to-deposit ratio standing at 89.0%.
Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, with its head office in the Cayman Islands and a "B" category banking license, provides international banking services to Customers who are not resident in Portugal. The Cayman Islands are considered to be a cooperative jurisdiction by the Bank of Portugal.
The evolution of the business volumes recorded in 2012 essentially results from loans' reduction, following the objective to reduce the Group's consolidated commercial gap. The net income in 2012 was 14.7 million euros.

The aggravation of the recessive economic environment in 2012 strongly constrained the performance of the national insurance market. Faced with the extremely adverse external environment, Millenniumbcp Ageas pursued the implementation of its new strategic agenda, called "Vision 2015", defined during the financial year of 2011 with the objective of strategically repositioning its business model, adapting it to the new market reality and ensuring its future development. After the dedication of 2011 to preparation, 2012 represented the year of implementation.
The guiding principles of the new strategic agenda, which is fully supported by the Shareholders, focus on the Non-Life branches where Millenniumbcp Ageas has the best opportunities of growth due to the low levels of penetration, simultaneously maintaining a position of leadership in Life, which will continue to be the main source of earnings over the next few years.
The implementation of this strategy is based on 3 pillars: i) Protection of the current franchise; ii) Grow of the bancassurance business model; and iii) Expansion of the distribution capacity beyond the founding boundaries of the Company.
The overview of 2012 is extremely positive. The 9 strategic projects launched under "Vision 2015" were concluded, with a significant part of them having been implemented or under implementation. Millenniumbcp Ageas grew at above market rates in Non-Life, achieved good technical results, continued to improve operating performance, cut costs, was distinguished by various independent and prestigious organisations, strengthened its balance sheet and solidity, and will continue to deliver results to its Shareholders in line with expectations.
However, this performance will only result in the creation of effective value if it is recognised by its Customers and the most relevant expression of the good work carried out by Millenniumbcp Ageas is the achievement of the highest levels of satisfaction ever.
In the Life branch, pursuing the behaviour shown in the previous year, but penalised by the current economic environment, the volume of premiums fell by around 9% as a whole over the year, reflecting the decline in saving capacity associated to the liquidity crisis in the economy. Millenniumbcp Ageas recorded a heavier reduction of the volume of premiums than that of the market. In contrast, the evolution of the volume of provisions under management was quite different, with Millenniumbcp Ageas having, inclusively, reinforced its market share in terms of mathematical provisions in 2012, upholding its leadership of the sector.
The Non-Life branch was likewise influenced by the negative behaviour of the economy, with the key economic indicators affecting this segment having strongly constrained the evolution of the group of Non-Life branches. During 2012, the negative evolution was even more severe in comparison to the same period of the previous year, with the sale of premiums having declined by close to 4%. Over the same period, Millenniumbcp Ageas differentiated itself from the rest of the market, having achieved a growth of 0.8% in the volume of premiums.
As a result of the development of its strategic agenda, the growth observed in both segments, Life and Non-Life, were allied to excellent technical results, improved operating performance and capacity to control costs, factors which proved to be fundamental in the achievement of a net income of 111 million euros in 2012, significantly higher than that recorded for the previous year. And likewise, financial strength, embodied in a consolidated solvency ratio of 274% at the end of 2012, was also reinforced.
For 2013, the outlook is one of a continued difficult environment, with latent risks whose materialisation might negatively affect the performance of the entire insurance industry. The strategic initiatives aimed at strengthening the operation are fully underway, not only to meet the challenges of the external environment, but also - and above all - to make the most of the business development opportunities that tough periods, such as the one currently experienced, offer to market players which, such as Millenniumbcp Ageas, are prepared to capture.

As at 31 December 2012, pension liabilities were fully funded and kept at a higher level than the minimum set by the Bank of Portugal, presenting a coverage rate of 119%. On the same date, the liabilities related to pensions came to 2,293 million euros, compared with 2.452 million euros recorded on 31 December 2011. The pension fund recorded, in 2012, a positive rate of return of 1.6% compared with the negative rate of return of 0.7% in 2011.
In December 2012, the bank changed the actuarial assumptions of the pension fund, leaving the discount rate at 4.5% (5.5% in 2011), the salary growth rate at 1.0% until 2016 and 1.75% after 2017 (2.0% in 2011) and the pension growth rate at 0% until 2016 and 0.75% after 2017 (1.0% in 2011), which resulted in negative actuarial differences of 90 million euros. The actuarial differences recorded in 2012, considering the financial, non-financial and those resulting from assumption changes, reached 164 million euros, of which 155 million euros were recognised in the 1st half of the year.
Actuarial differences in 2012 had a negative impact after tax and after corridor impact of 25 basis points in the Group's core tier I ratio. However, the impact in 2012 increased to 133 basis points as a result of the additional negative effects associated to the transfer of pension liabilities to the General Social Security Scheme, neutralised for prudential purposes as at 31 December 2011 following the authorisation granted by the Bank of Portugal, and the depreciation of deferred impacts allowed by the Bank of Portugal.
In 2012, the Group's risk management and control continued to be developed under a particularly difficult economic and financial scenario, considering that the domestic business portfolio (Portugal) is preponderant within in the Group's total portfolio. Hence, the negative constraints of an extremely adverse environment and the demanding requirements of the Economic and Financial Assistance Programme to Portugal (PAEF) remained, with declining economic activity, growing unemployment and increasing tax burden on families.
Under this scenario, the Group continued to consolidate and develop its functional and organisational framework committed to the management, measurement and control of risks, pursuing its objectives of extending the advanced approach to the calculation of capital requirements for credit risk, namely with respect to the operation in Poland or to the use of own LGD (Loss Given Default) and CCF (Credit Conversion Factors) parameter estimates for the Corporate segment in Portugal.
The main activities developed in 2012 in the context of risk management - the set of actions relative to the identification, assessment, monitoring and control (or mitigation) of the different risks to which the Group is exposed as a result of its business activities – were the following:
The activities aimed at the extensions of the authorisation for the use of an "Internal Ratings Based" (IRB) approach to the calculation of the risk-weighted assets in Portugal, for the assessment of the regulatory capital requirements relative to credit risk and counterparty risk, continued to be developed in 2012. At the same time, the Group had also submitted a formal application for the authorisation to use the IRB approach in relation to the Polish operation, at the end of 2011.
Therefore, within this context, an ongoing dialogue was maintained with the Bank of Portugal, KNF (the Polish Financial Supervision Authority) and, in general, with the BCP Group College of Supervisors, which includes representatives of all the supervisors from the countries in which the Group operates.
Specifically, during the first days of 2012, the Group formally submitted to the Bank of Portugal applications for the authorisation to use internal rating models for the exposures to Real-Estate Development in Portugal and to use its own estimates for the LGD and CCF parameters for the "Corporate" risk class (in Portugal).
In Poland, the Group received the approval for the IRB approach for the exposures of the Retail Portfolio collateralised by residential real-estate and for the exposure represented by renewable positions of this portfolio. In the beginning of 2013, Bank of Portugal granted the extension of the IRB authorisation requested in relation to the own estimates for the CCF parameters applicable to the Corporate exposures already covered by this methodology.
Concerning Operational Risk, the Group decided that it will submit to Banco de Portugal, in 2013, an application for the authorisation to use the "Advanced Measurement Approach" (AMA) to determine the regulatory capital requirements relative to this type of risk. Hence, by the last quarter of 2012, a number of steps have already been taken for the setup of this application, which will be beneficial for the Group since it implies the fine-tuning of the current high level of sophistication concerning the management of Operational Risk and its control and mitigation mechanisms.
Changes to the corporate governance model of Banco Comercial Português that occurred in the 1st half of 2012 have implied some adjustments in risk management governance, after its reinforcement regarding credit risk, from the last quarter of 2011, when the Risk Commission established a Credit Risk Monitoring Sub-commission (SCARC).
This Sub-commission its composition and capacities are detailed ahead – met every fortnight over 2012, systematically following-up the evolution of the overdue and impaired credit indicators, as well as the individually significant cases of clients under credit recovery processes.
It should be recalled that the Risk Commission and its Sub-Commissions for the monitoring of specific types of risk - such as the aforementioned SCARC and the Pension Funds Risk Sub-Commission (SCRFP) – are executive bodies that stem from BCP's Executive Committee and fit into the overall framework of risk management and control governance as represented in the following figure:

What following is a description of the competences and attributions of the bodies intervening in risk management governance at Group level – either with management or with internal supervisory capacities (besides the Board of Directors and its Executive Commission).
The Risk Assessment Committee is composed of three non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following competencies:
The Audit Committee is also composed of four non-executive members of the Board of Directors and has the following attributions:
The Audit Committee is the main recipient of the Internal Audit's, Certified Accountant's and External Auditors' reports and holds regular meetings with the Board Member responsible for the financial area, with the Group Risk Officer, with the Compliance Officer and the with the Head of Internal Audit.
This Commission is responsible, at an executive level, for the follow-up of the overall risk levels (credit, market, liquidity and operational risks), ensuring that these are compatible with the objectives, the available financial resources and the strategies approved for the development of the Group's activity.
It includes all of the members of the Executive Commission, the Group Risk Officer, the Compliance Officer and the Heads of the following departments: Internal Audit; Treasury and Markets; Research, Planning and ALM; Credit; Rating.
This body has the following duties and responsibilities:
Monitoring of the automatic decision-making and credit recovery processes.
The members of this Sub-commission are the Executive Commission's members responsible for the financial area and for risk management and two other members of the Executive Commission, the Group Risk Officer and the Heads of the following departments: Credit; Rating; Retail Credit Recovery; Specialised Credit Recovery; Research, Planning and ALM; Specialised Monitoring; Real Estate; Marketing.
The mission of this specialised Sub-Commission includes the monitoring of the performance and risk of BCP's Pension Funds (the Defined Benefits Fund and the Complementary Fund) and the establishment of adequate investment policies and its respective hedging strategies.
Its members are: the Executive Commission's members responsible for the financial area and for risk management, the Group Risk Officer, the Heads of Research, Planning and ALM and the Head of Human Resources. Through permanent invitation, the entities linked to the management of the Pension Funds (Pensõesgere and F&C) are also represented.
The Group CALCO is responsible for the management of the overall capital of the Group, for the management of assets and liabilities and for the definition of liquidity management strategies at a consolidated level. Specifically, the Group CALCO Group (also called the Planning and Capital Allocation and Assets and Liabilities Management Commission) is responsible for the structural management of market and liquidity risks, including, among others, the following aspects:
The Group CALCO is chaired by the Executive Commission's member responsible for the financial area and a further four members of the Commission are also members of this body. The other members of the CALCO Group are the Group Risk Officer and the Chief Economist, as well as other members appointed by the Executive Commission, including, among others, the Heads of the following departments: Research, Planning and ALM; Treasury and Markets; Management Data; Corporate Business; Marketing.
This is the person responsible for the risk control function for all entities of the Group. In order to ensure the transversal monitoring and alignment of concepts, practices and objectives, the Group Risk Officer is responsible for informing the Risk Commission on the general risk level and for proposing measures to improve the control environment and to implement the approved limits.
The Group Risk Officer has veto power concerning any decision that might have an impact on the Group risk levels and is not subject to the approval of the Board of Directors or its Executive Commission.
In order to fulfil its mission, the duties of the Group Risk Officer include:
Preparing information on risk management, for internal and market disclosure.
The Group Risk Officer is appointed by the Board of Directors and supports the work of the Risk Committee and the subcommittees that emanate from this Committee - Credit Risk Monitoring Sub-Commission and Pension Funds Risk Sub-Commission –mentioned above.
The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) constitutes, for the Group, an important step in the achievement of the best practices on matters of risk management and capital planning.
In fact, this process enables a connection between the Group's level of tolerance to risk and its capital needs, through the calculation of the internal (or "economic") capital which, independently of the regulatory capital, is adequate to the level of incurred risks, thus requiring an understanding of the business as well as of the risk strategies.
Through the ICAAP, all the material risks inherent to the Group's activity are identified and quantified, considering the effects of correlation between the different risks, as well as the effects of business diversification (which is developed along various product lines, in several geographical areas).
After the assessment of economic capital needs, these are compared with the available financial resources (Risk Taking Capacity), enabling an economic perspective of capital adequacy and also allowing the identification of value-creating activities and/or businesses.
Bearing in mind the nature of the Group's core activity in the markets in which it operates (Retail Banking), the main risks considered for the purposes of the ICAAP are the following:
The quantification approach used is based on a VaR (Value-at-Risk) methodology, where the maximum value of potential loss is calculated for each risk, for a time horizon of 12 months, with a 99.94% confidence level.

The metrics used in the calculation are illustrated by the figure below:
The aggregation of risks at the different levels of the Group's organizational structure includes the calculation of the effect of the diversification benefits, reflected in an overall result which is less than the sum of the various individual components.
A combination of two methods is used for this purpose: i) correlation method and ii) dependence of extreme events. In general terms, the correlation matrix is obtained by submitting the historical series of losses to an implicit linear correlation analysis, which differs from traditional linear correlation analysis since it recognizes the dependence of extreme events.
The following table presents the Group's overall risk position as at 31 December 2012 and 2011, represented by the value of the economic capital calculated on these dates:

At 31 December 2012, the increase in Economic Capital (after diversification effects) in relation to 31 December 2011 was of around € 409.3 M (+ 10.9%). The 2012 year-end position mainly results from:
An increase in capital needs associated to credit risk, due to the worsening of the Bank's portfolio quality in Portugal and in Greece, especially in what concerns the Corporate portfolio;
The Models Control Unit (UCM) ensures the monitoring and independent validation of the credit and market risk models
The implemented monitoring and validation framework also involves model owners, rating system owners, Validation Committees, the Risk Commission and Internal Audit.
During 2012, various actions relative to the follow-up and validation of credit and market risks models were carried out.
Regarding concerns the credit risk models, these actions were developed over the models for the Corporate and Retail exposure classes, concerning its main estimation components, for models used in Portugal and for some models used in non-domestic subsidiaries.
Within this process, the most relevant models are those relative to the estimation of Probabilities of Default (PD) – such as the models for the Large Corporate, Small and Mid Corporate sub-segments, the models applicable to the real estate promotion portfolio and the TRIAD behavioural models –, the models used for the calculation of LGD estimates and the models for off balance sheet CCF estimation.
The monitoring and validation actions developed are also aimed at monitoring and gaining in-depth knowledge on the models' quality, so as to strengthen the Group's prompt reaction capacity in view of changes in the models predictive abilities, thus allowing the Group to reinforce its confidence in the use and performance of each model and in the implemented rating systems.
It should also be noted that the UCM follows an annual validation plan proposed to and approved by the Risk Commission, according to the needs identified internally, but also resulting from the specific recommendations
In the 2nd half of 2012, the Bank of Portugal promoted a new and vast inspection of the banking system exposure to the construction and property development sectors in Portugal and Spain, with the objective of assessing the adequacy of the accounted impairment levels for the exposures to these sectors, designated by "On-Site Inspections Programme".
This inspection considered the Bank's accounts as at 30 June 2012 as the reference date and was developed with the support of external consultants appointed by the Supervisor, conducted between July and November 2012.
In adittion to considering the exposures to entities operating directly in the construction and property development sectors, OIP also included the exposures to (i) holdings of these entities, (ii) tourism sector entities, (iii) entities with strongly related activity to the construction sector (essentially, suppliers), and (iv) entities belonging to the same economic group as those referred to above (through a contamination concept), whenever the exposure of the first represented more than 25% of the total exposure of the economic group.
The Bank has dedicated special attention to the development of this project, having created a multidisciplinary team for its follow-up, involving staff from different areas, in particular from the Risk Office, Internal Audit and Credit Department, with weekly reporting to the Credit Risk Monitoring Sub-Commission and the Executive Committee.
The work was completed by the end of November 2012 and the results have been communicated simultaneously to the markets by the Bank of Portugal and by the 8 banks involved in the inspection during the first days of the following month.
The analysis of the Bank's credit portfolio led to the identification of the need to reinforce impairment by of 290 million Euros, corresponding to 3.1% of the assessed exposure, of which 232 million Euros resulted from the analysis of data and events occurring after the reference date, such as new insolvencies/bankruptcies and revaluation of collateral.
The identified reinforcement of impairments was fully stated in the accounts for 2012 and the respective impact on the Tier 1 ratio as at 31 December 2012 was not materially relevant.
In parallel to the assessment of the credit portfolio, the OIP developed two additional aspects:
In these aspects, the overall adequacy of the risk management and control policies and procedures was confirmed, even if some isolated improvement opportunities were identified.
This risk's occurrence is materialised through losses originated by the loan portfolio, due to the inability of borrowers (or their guarantors, when these exist, or issuers of securities, or contractual counterparties) to honour their obligations.
This type of risk - in itself very relevant and highly representative in terms of the Group's overall exposure to risk - is particularly incisive under adverse macroeconomic conditions (cases of Portugal and Greece), when families and companies are faced with financial difficulties.
Control and mitigation of this risk are carried out, on one hand, through a solid structure of risk analysis and assessment – using internal rating systems suited to the different business segments and a model for the early detection of potential defaults of the portfolio – and, on the other hand, through structural units that are exclusively dedicated to loan recovery, for the defaults that occur.
For 2012, the following activities should be highlighted, as they were, developed to strengthen the procedures of credit risk assessment, monitoring and control, for the various segments of the portfolio:
The table below illustrates the quarterly evolution of the main credit risk indicators over 2012, for the portfolios of Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania, Angola and Mozambique. This evolution shows the decrease of the credit portfolio quality in Greece and Portugal, but the indicators also point to a potential decline in the negative trend of the domestic portfolio (Portugal), taking into account the values for the last quarter of 2012.

The following charts present the breakdown of the loan portfolio as at 31 December 2012, in terms of EAD (Exposure at Default) and by Basel II exposure classes, in the main geographical areas in which the Group operates.

Regarding the distribution of these exposures by risk quality, measured by the internally attributed risk grades (RG), the position as at 31 December 2012, for each of the three main geographical areas is presented in the following chart:

Note: does not include exposures to Banks and Sovereigns, Specialised Lending and exposures treated by the Standardised Approach (for regulatory capital requirements calculation)
Regarding the average LGD by exposure segment in Portugal – arising from the calculation of regulatory capital and from the estimates that were based on the losses that effectively occurred (i.e. from loans recovery data) – are shown on the following chart:

The figures concerning credit concentration as at 31 December 2012 – measured by the weight of the 20 largest net exposures over the consolidated Own Funds or, alternatively, by the weight of these exposures in total exposure (in terms of EAD, for Portugal, Poland and Greece) – are presented in the next table.
The weight of these 20 largest net exposures Exposure at Default (EAD) in the total exposure of Portugal, Poland and Greece remained at the same level as that observed at the end of 2011 - 10.6% and 10.1% by the end of 2012 and 2011, respectively - demonstrating the stability of credit concentration exposure to the largest customers. This stability is confirmed even with a significant reduction of the calculation base of this indicator, since the decrease in EAD for the 3 geographical areas in question, between 31 December 2001 and 31 December 2012, was approximately of 4 thousand million Euros (5.15 thousand million Euros in Portugal). This was largely the result of the deleveraging effort carried out by the Group in Portugal, which led to a reduction of the commercial gap of 5.5 thousand million Euros.
Regarding the weight of these 20 largest net exposures in the value of Consolidated Own Funds, of 48.8%, there has been a very significant decrease of this concentration indicator (which had been of 61.0% at the end of 2011). However, this evolution was due to the increased value of own funds arising from the injection of State capital in May 2012 (contingent capital/CoCos) and from the share capital increase which also occurred at this time.
It should be recalled that the requirements of the Bank of Portugal on credit concentration risk are reflected in the Group's risk management and control policies through the establishment of limits for the weights of credit exposures in internal regulations, aimed at mitigating the concentration of this risk. Hence, the positioning of the largest exposures in view of the defined concentration limits is regularly monitored by the Risk Office and reported to the Audit Committee and to the Risk Commission.
| Clients' Groups | Net Exposure / Own Funds | EAD weight in total EAD |
|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | 7.5% | 1.4% |

Operational risk materialises in the occurrence of losses as a result of failures or inadequacies of internal processes, systems or people or, as a result of external events.
In the management of this type of risk, the Group adopts duly documented principles and practices, which are expressed in control mechanisms that are liable to continuous improvement. This framework has a variety of features, such as:
During 2012 the Group continued to promote initiatives aimed at improving efficiency in the identification, assessment, control and mitigation of exposures, through the strengthening and extension of the scope of the operational risk management system implemented in Portugal and in the main operations abroad.
The monitoring of operational risks by the Group's Risk Office is facilitated by software supporting the management of operational risk, used in the operations in which this framework has been adopted, thus ensuring a high level of uniformity (albeit showing differentiated stages of evolution as a result of the phased implementation of the management system referred to above and of the priorities attributed according to the relevance of the exposures in the different subsidiaries).
In 2012, the following achievements for Operational Risk management can be highlighted:
In the context of this last issue (the evolution towards AMA) it should be noted that the Bank has already taken specific steps towards the formalisation, in the very near future, of its application to join the ORX consortium (Operational Riskdata eXchange Association), currently composed of 60 banks and 18 countries, dedicated to the sharing of data on operating losses and exchange of information and experiences in all areas and aspects of operational risk management.
The operational risk management system has been based, from the very beginning, on a structure of end-to-end processes, taking into account that a transversal vision to the functional units of the organisational structure is the most suitable approach for the perception of risks and the estimation of the impact of the corrective measures that are introduced for its mitigation.
Furthermore, this processes model also supports other strategic initiatives related to the management of this risk, such as the quality certification of the main products and services offered (ISO 9001), the actions to improve operational efficiency and business continuity management.
As a result, the main subsidiaries of the Group have defined their own structure of processes, which is adjusted periodically according to the evolution of the business, so as to ensure an adequate coverage of the business activities (or business support activities) developed.
The responsibility for the management of the processes was entrusted to process owners (seconded by process managers), whose mission is the characterisation of the operational losses captured under their processes, the monitoring of respective key risk indicators, the undertaking of risks' self-assessment exercises, as well as the identification and implementation of suitable actions to mitigate operational risk exposures, thus contributing to the strengthening of control mechanisms and to the improvement of the internal control environment.
In Portugal, process owners are appointed by the Processes and Banking Services Committee (CPSB) based on the recognition of their know-how and professional experience concerning the activities developed under the processes for which they are responsible. The CPSB also has the following responsibilities:
Approval of changes to already existing processes, as well as of the design of new processes.
In all other operations of the Group the appointment of the process owners is a responsibility of the respective Boards of Directors or bodies to which this duty is entrusted.
The RSA exercises are aimed at promoting the identification and mitigation (or elimination) of risks in each process, either actual or potential, through the assessment of each of the 20 subtypes of operational risk considered. These assessments are positioned in a risk tolerance matrix, considering the worst case event that might occur in each process, for three different scenarios. This allows for:
The RSA exercises are based on workshops, attended by the Risk Office and with the participation of the process owners (and process managers), or on answers to questionnaires sent to the process owners for the review of the previous RSA results, according to pre-defined updating criteria. It is noteworthy that in Portugal, the macro-process owners participate in the workshops of the main processes in order to support the self-assessment exercise and add a more comprehensive perspective of the risks (top-down).
In 2012, new RSA exercises were carried out in the main geographical areas in which the Group operates - namely, in Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania and Mozambique - which allowed for the updating of the operational risks assessment in the various processes defined for each of these operations, as well as for the identification of improvements to mitigate the exposures classified above the defined tolerance thresholds, with a view to reduce its frequency or severity (or both).
These actions will be placed in an order of priority according to the assessment made and its implementation will be monitored through the IT software supporting operational risk management.
The following charts present the results of the RSA exercises that have been carried out, namely, the average score for each of the 20 subtypes of operational risk considered, for the set of processes of each geographical area. The outer line represents a score of 2 on a scale of 1 (lowest exposure) to 5 (highest exposure).

Another, more aggregate, perspective of these results for all of the 20 subtypes of operational risk, for the series of processes of each geographical area, is represented by the following chart:

The operational losses data capture (i.e. the identification, registration and characterisation of operational losses and of the events that originated the losses), carried out by the Group for the operations covered by the operational risk management framework, aim to strengthen the awareness of this risk and to provide relevant information to process owners, for incorporation within their processes' management. As such, it is an important instrument to quantify risk exposures. It should also be mentioned that data on operational losses is used for the back-testing of the RSA results, enabling the evaluation of the assessment made on each risk subtype, within each process.
The detection and reporting of operational losses is a responsibility of all employees of the Group, the process owners playing a crucial role in the promotion of these procedures within the context of the processes for which they are responsible. The identification and capture of operational loss events are also executed by the Risk Offices (at Group and local levels), based on data provided by central areas.
The identified events in which the losses, effective or potential, exceed the defined materiality limits (for each geographical area), are registered in a Grouplevel database of operational losses, related to a process and related to one of the 20 subtypes of operational risk, being characterised by its process owners and process managers. Besides the description of the respective cause-effect, this characterisation also includes the valuation of the loss and, when

The profile of the accumulated losses.In addition to the database by 31 December 2012 is presented in the charts below, showing that most of the losses were caused by procedural failings and external events, as well as the fact that a major proportion of the operational loss events were of low material relevance (below 20,000 euros).

KRI are metrics that draw attention to changes in the profile of the operational risks or in the effectiveness
of its control, enabling the identification of the need to introduce corrective actions within the processes, so as to prevent potential risks from materialising into effective losses.
The use of this management instrument has been extended to increasingly more processes, and currently covers the most relevant ones in the main Group operations (Portugal, Poland, Greece, Romania and Mozambique).
The data on the identified indicators is consolidated in a "KRI library", shared by the different entities of the Group, and currently includes over four hundred indicators, used for monitoring the risks of the main processes.
Business continuity management covers two complementary components: the Business Continuity Plan, relative to people, facilities and equipment, and the Disaster Recovery Plan, relative to information systems, software and communication infrastructures.
Both plans are defined and implemented for a series of critical business processes, considering the relevant adjustments to market evolution, to the Bank's strategic positioning and to its organisational matrix. These plans are promoted and coordinated by a dedicated structural unit, whose methodology is based on a process of continuous improvement, guided by international good practices and the recommendations of the supervisory entities.
These continuity plans are regularly tested and updated, through regular exercises aimed at improving the response capacity to incidents and at a better coordination between the emergency response, the technological recovery, the crisis management and the business recovery, usually involving the implementation of critical activities at alternative locations.
The contracting of insurance for risks related to assets, persons or third party liabilities is another important instrument in the management of operational risk, the objective being the transfer of risks (total or partial).
Proposals for the contracting of new insurance policies are submitted by process owners under the scope of their duties concerning the management of operational risks inherent to their processes, or are presented by the Heads of areas or organisational units, and then analysed by the Risk Commission and authorised by the Executive Committee.
The specialised technical and commercial functions within insurance contracting are entrusted to the Insurance Management Unit, which is specialised and transversal to all entities of the Group located in Portugal. This unit and the Risk Office share information for the purpose of strengthening the coverage of the policies, as well as for increasing the quality of the operational losses database.
Market risks consist in the potential losses that might occur in a given portfolio, as a result of changes in interest or exchange rates and/or in the prices of the different financial instruments of the portfolio, considering not only the correlations that exist between those instruments but also its volatilities.
For the purpose of profitability analysis and of the quantification and control of market risks, the following management areas are defined for each entity of the Group:
Trading - Management of positions with the aim of obtaining short term gains, through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, tradable without restrictions and can be valued frequently and accurately. The positions in question include securities and derivatives of sales activities;
The definition of these areas allows for effective management segregation of the trading and banking books, as well as for a correct allocation of each operation to the most suitable management area, according to its respective context. This definition of the trading portfolio is not the same as the accounting definition of trading portfolio: in this case, the concept of trading is directly related to the purpose of holding each position and not the respective accounting treatment.
In order to ensure that the risk levels incurred in the portfolios of the different management areas of the Group are in accordance with the Group's risk tolerance levels, several limits are defined for market risks (at least, once a year) and are applied to all management areas' portfolios that, in accordance with the management model, might incur in these risks.
The definition of these limits is based on the market risks metrics used by the Group in its control and monitoring, which are followed up on a daily basis (or intra-daily, in the case of the financial markets' areas - Trading and Funding) by the Risk Office.
In addition to these risk limits, stop loss limits are also defined for the financial markets areas, based on multiples defined for those areas, aiming at limiting the maximum losses which might occur within each of the areas. When these limits are reached, a review of the management strategy and assumptions for the positions in question must be undertaken.
In adittion to the market risk monitoring activities and representing relevant developments and achievements in the management of these risks in 2012, the following are particularly noteworthy:
The Group uses an integrated market risk measurement that allows for the monitoring of all of the risk subtypes that are considered to be relevant. This measurement includes the assessment of the following types of risk: generic risk, specific risk, non-linear risk and commodities' risk.
Each risk subtype is measured individually using an appropriate risk model and the integrated measurement is built from those measurements without considering any type of diversification between the four subtypes (worst-case scenario approach).
For the daily measurement of generic market risk - relative to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, equity risk and price risk of credit default swaps - a VaR (Value-at-Risk) model is used, based on the parametric approximation defined in the methodology developed by RiskMetrics (1996). This approach considers a time horizon of 10 business days and a significance level of 99%.
In this methodology, the volatility of each of the market risk factors (and respective correlations) considered in the model is estimated by an econometric estimation model, EWMA, with an observation period of one year and a time-weighting factor (lambda) of 0.94. The adequacy of this parameter is assessed regularly using standard methodology, verified by the Models Control Unit.
Furthermore, an internally-developed methodology is also applied, replicating the effect that the main non-linear elements of options' positions might have in the results of the different books in which these are included, in a similar way considered within the VaR methodology, using the same time horizon and significance level.
Specific and commodities' risks are measured through standard methodologies defined in the applicable regulations (arising from Basel II), with a corresponding change of the time horizon considered.
The amounts of capital at risk are thus determined, both on an individual basis and in consolidated terms, considering the effects of diversification of the various portfolios. It should be noted that this approach to the assessment of market risks is also applied to the other management areas (and not merely to the Trading area), when its books incur these types of risks.
The table below presents the values at risk measured by the methodologies referred to above, for the trading book, between 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012:

Throughout 2012, the risk of the Group's trading book remained, to a large extent, at reduced materiality levels, with several peak moments arising from sharp increases of market volatility, mainly observed in relation to public debt. In general terms, the trends of the previous year were maintained, with high volatility in public debt markets. The Bank continued to follow a very prudent policy, even in terms of the size of its trading book.
The graph below identifies the interest rate risk as the main risk type present in the Group's trading book in 2012. The peaks registered for this risk type were associated with sharp increases in the volatility of public debt positions.

Despite the constraints arising from the markets' evolution, the risk level of the trading book did not exceed the limits established for its management.
In order to ensure that the internal VaR model is adequate for the assessment of the risks involved in the positions held, several validations of different scope and frequency are performed, including backtesting, estimation of the effects of diversification and analysis of the scope of the risk factors considered.
The following graph illustrates the hypothetical backtesting for the trading book, through which the VaR indicators are compared with the hypothetical results of the model used.

As shown by this graph, only 3 excesses over the hypothetical results of the model were observed (1.2% of frequency for 250 business days), thus confirming its adequacy for the assessment of the risks in question.
The occurred excesses - in particular, those at the beginning of the year (January/February) - were the result of sudden market variations, higher than the volatility estimated by the model, mainly related to Portuguese public debt instruments.
As a complement to the VaR calculation and aiming to identify risk concentrations that are not captured by this measurement and, also, for the purpose of testing other possible loss dimensions, the Group continuously tests a broad set of stress scenarios over the trading book and analyses its results.
The results of these tests on the Group's trading book, as at 31 December 2012, were as follows:
| thousands of euros | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Tested scenarios | Negative results scenario | Result | |
| Parallel shift of the yield curve by +/- 100 bps | - 100 bps | -7.3 | |
| Change in the slope of the yield curve | - 25 bps | -1.5 | |
| (for maturities from 2 to 10 years) by +/- 25 bps | |||
| 4 possible combinations of the previous 2 scenarios | - 100 bps e - 25 bps | -8.8 | |
| Variation in the main stock market indices by +/- 30% | - 30% | -2.8 | |
| Variation in foreign exchange rates (against the euro) by +/- | |||
| 10% for the main currencies and by +/- 25% for other | - 10%, - 25% | -2.6 | |
| Variation in swap spreads by +/- 20 bps | - 20 bps | -0.5 |
The results of these stress tests demonstrate that the exposure of the Group's trading book to the different risk factors considered is limited, and that the main adverse scenario to take into account is the decrease of the interest rates level, especially if this also implies a reduction in the slope of their curves (i.e. when the decrease in long term interest rates is higher than the decrease in short term interest rates).
The interest rate risk derived from the banking book operations is assessed through a process of risk sensitivity analysis, undertaken every month, covering all the operations included in the Group's consolidated Balance Sheet.
The variations in market interest rates influence the Group's net interest income, both under a short and a medium/long term perspective, affecting its economic value in the long term. The main risk factors arise from the repricing mismatch of the portfolio's positions (repricing risk) and from the risk of variation of market interest rates (yield curve risk). Moreover - although of a lesser impact - there is the risk of unequal variations in different reference rates with the same repricing period (basis risk).
In order to identify the exposure of the Group's banking book to these risks, the monitoring of the interest rate risk takes into consideration the financial characteristics of the positions registered by the information systems, with the respective expected cash-flows being forecasted in accordance with the repricing dates, thus calculating the impact over economic value resulting from alternative scenarios of change of the market interest rate curves.
This analysis, referred to 31 December 2012 and performed by assessing the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch (discounted at market interest rate levels) and the mismatch present value discounted at a +100 bps level (for all terms) results in, approximately, a 16 million Euros negative impact for the position expressed in euros.
The following table presents the impact on economic value of this interest rate variation, for each of the banking book management areas and for the different terms to maturity of the positions in question.

Hence, the sensitivity of the banking book to euro interest rate variations decreased (measured in this way, at the end of each year): as at December 2011, an interest rate increase of 100 b.p. corresponded to an economic value loss of approximately 72 million euros, which would be of only 16 million euros (approximately) as at December 2012, for the same rates variation.
The risk positions that are not subject to specific market hedging operations are transferred internally to the two markets' areas (Funding and ALM), thus becoming an integral part of the respective portfolios. As such, these are assessed daily through the VaR model.
The exchange rate risk of the banking book is transferred internally to the Trading area (Treasury), in accordance with the risk specialisation model followed by the Group for the management of the exchange rate risk of the Balance Sheet.
The only exposures to exchange rate risk that are not included in this transfer – the financial holdings in subsidiaries, in foreign currency - are hedged on a case-by-case basis through market operations. As at 31 December 2012, the Group's financial holdings in USD, CHF and PLN were covered (in this last case, partially).
On a consolidated basis, these hedges are identified, in accounting terms, as "Net Investment" edges, pursuant to IFRS nomenclature. On an individual basis, for entities which have financial holdings with exchange rate risk, hedge accounting is also carried out, in this case through a Fair Value Hedge methodology.
The Group maintains some equitiy' positions of non-significant magnitude in the banking book which are not meant to be for trading purposes.
The management of these positions is carried out by a specific area of the Group, its risk being included in the Investment area and followed-up on a daily basis, through measurements and limits defined for the control of market risks.
These positions are very small in size and have a low risk within the Group's Investment Portfolio, only accounting for 6.5% of the VaR of this portfolio (as at 31 December 2012).
Liquidity risk reflects the Group's potential inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring significant losses, resulting from the deterioration of funding conditions (funding risk) and/or sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
In this context, 2012 was characterised by the generalised difficulty of Portuguese banking institutions in gaining access to short and medium-long term funding markets, in spite of the moderate improvement denoted in the 2nd half of the year, with the first medium-long term issues by national financial institutions on the international.
Under these circumstances, during 2012, the Group continued to pursue the strategy of reduction of the commercial gap (difference between customer funds and loans to customers), with the objective of reducing its funding risk. As a result, in the activity in Portugal, the commercial gap decreased by 5.5 thousand million Euros, with a favourable impact on the reduction of funding needs.
Simultaneously, as a complementary measure to mitigate liquidity risk, the Bank maintained its optimisation policy regarding of the management eligible collateral for discount at the European Central Bank (ECB) which, combined with the valuation of the main categories of assets included in the monetary policy pool, allowed for a significant reinforcement of these assets' portfolio along the year, as illustrated by the graph on the side.
Future funding needs are permanently monitored, as highlighted, for example, by distribution over time of the maturity of medium/long term debt in 2013 and 2014 represented in the graph on the side.
The Group's wholesale funding structure is defined for each annual period by the Liquidity Plan, which is an integral part of the budgeting process, formulated at consolidated level and for the main subsidiaries of the Group. The setup of this plan is coordinated by the Group Treasurer and its implementation is monitored continuously along the year, being revised whenever necessary or advisable.

| Subordinated debt | 1.4% | 1.3% | 0.0% |
| TOTAL | 100.0% | 100.0% | - |
It should be noted that there was a new source of funding in 2012, the contingent capital instruments (CoCos), with a weight practically on level of that of the EMTN (Euro Medium Term Notes) issues. The weight of these last instruments has fallen systematically over the last few years, in view of the impossibility of new funding in this market. On the other hand, the relative importance of the funding obtained from the ECB has grown slightly, and continues to be the main source of funding.
The control of the Group's liquidity risk, for short term time horizons (up to 3 months) is carried out on a daily bases, through two internally defined indicators - the immediate liquidity indicator and the quarterly liquidity indicator - which measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise cumulatively over the respective time horizons, considering cash flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively. These indicators, for 31 December 2012, are presented in the following table:
| millions of euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| Liquidity indicators | Immediate liquidity | Quarterly liquidity |
| Portugal | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Poland | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Greece | -244.5 | -351.0 |
| Romania | 0.0 | 0.0 |
| Angola | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Note: null values represent a positive treasury position (net of Highly Liquid Assets).
In all geographic areas, with the exception of Greece, there was surplus liquidity, according to the measure and methodology of these indicators, both in terms of immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity, reflecting the prudent management of the different Treasuries of the Group in relation to this risk.
At the same time, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors underlying the variations that have occurred.
The Group controls the structural liquidity profile through the regular monitoring, by its management structures and bodies, of a series of indicators defined both internally and by regulations, aimed at characterising liquidity risk, such as:
As at 31 December 2011 and 2012, these indicators were as follows:
| Liquidity control indicators | Reference value | Dec/12 | Dec/11 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accumulated net cash-flows up to 1 year as a % of total accounting liabilities | Not below -6% | 9.6% | -1.6% |

The PCCL states, as its objective, the maintenance of a balanced liquidity and capital structure, also establishing the need for the continuous monitoring of market conditions, as well as lines of action and triggers aimed at timely decision-taking in adverse scenarios, either anticipated or observed.
The PCCL defines a composite indicator of the main parameters identified as advanced indicators of liquidity stress situations of (29 variables) which can affect the Group's liquidity situation. This indicator is calculated in the last week of each month and its evolution is followed-up by the Executive Committee, the Group CALCO and the Group Treasurer.
This risk stems from the potential devaluation of the Bank's Defined Benefit Pensions Fund, or from the decrease of its expected returns, implying the need to make unplanned contributions. The Pension Funds Risk Sub-commission is responsible for the regular monitoring of this risk and for the supervision of its management.
On 31 December 2012, the Fund attained a yearly net return of 1.62% (TWR – time weighted return) and a balance of 2.4 thousand million Euros, approximately.
This amount reflects the final transfer of the retired employees and pensioners to the General Social Security System, as defined by Decree-Law number 127/2011 of 31 December, which took place in June 2012, as well as the liquidation of the supplementary benefits plan which occurred in December 2012 (with reference to 1 January 2012).
This type of risk materialises as negative impacts on net income and/or capital, arising from i) decisions with adverse effects; ii) the implementation of inadequate management strategies; or iii) the inability to respond effectively to market changes and variations.
The variation in the stock market price of the BCP share is a relevant indicator for the measurement of this type of risk, with its quantification being made under the internal model used to assess/quantify the internal capital needs (economic capital).
The calculation of the economic capital required to cover this type of risk is based on a long series of the price evolution of the BCP share, this evolution being analysed after deduction of the external influence of the stock market, estimated from a time series of share prices of the largest banks listed at Euronext Lisbon.
The Group's portfolio does not have any exposure either to the US sub-prime/Alt-A mortgage market, namely through Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS"), Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities" (CMBS), Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) or Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDO), or in relation to monoline type insurers.
The Group carries out transactions with derivatives fundamentally to hedge structured products for Customers (guaranteed capital and other products), risks stemming from the Bank's daily business, essentially including hedging interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The trading activity of the Group's own portfolio in derivatives is immaterial insofar as Group profits or risk exposure is concerned.
Over the years, the Group has carried out credit securitisation operations based on loans to individuals – mortgage loans and consumer credit – as well as loans to companies. Credit securitisation is used as a liquidity and capital management tool, aimed at financing the Group's business and, under certain circumstances, releasing capital. The Group has no exposure to Special Purpose Entities (SPE) other than that arising from its own securitisations and normal credit business, as described in the Notes on Accounting Policies and on Customer Loans and Advances of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Furthermore, the accounting policies relative to SPE and securitisations have not been altered over the past 12 months.
The international financial crisis revealed structural imbalances in State expenditure in many jurisdictions of the world, including Greece, Ireland and Portugal. As at 31 December 2012, the Group's net exposure to Portuguese sovereign debt was 5.4 billion euros, net exposure to Greek sovereign debt was 45 million euros, net exposure to Irish sovereign debt was 0.2 billion euros, net exposure to Italian sovereign debt was 50 million euros and net exposure to Spanish sovereign debt was 4 million euros, amongst which 235 million euros was recorded under the portfolio of financial assets held for trading and available for sale, and 7.9 billion euros under the portfolio of financial assets held to maturity. Further information on exposure to the sovereign debt of countries of the European Union in bailout situations is presented in Note 57 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Group's accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, included in the Accounts and Notes to the Accounts of 2012. Further information on valuation of financial assets and risk management is presented in the Notes on Financial assets held for trading and available for sale; Hedge derivatives; Financial assets held to maturity; Fair value reserves, Other reserves and Retained earnings; Fair value and Risk Management in the Report referred to above.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
31 December, 2012
Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the 'Bank') is a public bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operations on 5 May, 1986, and these consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the operations of the Bank and all its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group') and the Group's interest in associates, for the years ended 31 December, 2012 and 2011.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002, and as transposed into Portuguese Law through Decree-Law no. 35/2005, of 17 February and Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Group's consolidated financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as endorsed by the European Union ('EU') since the year 2005. IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') and their predecessor bodies. The consolidated financial statements presented were approved on 6 May 2013 by the Bank's Executive Committee. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
All the references in this document related with any normative always report to current version.
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2012 were prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the EU and effective on that date.
The Group has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2012, as referred in note 55.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently throughout the Group's entities and for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
The Group's financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and available for sale assets, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are hedged under hedge accounting are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is being hedged, if applicable. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortised cost or historical cost. Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The liability for defined benefit obligations is recognised as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the value of the fund.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Executive Committee to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The issues involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or for which assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant, are presented in note 1 ad).
As from 1 January, 2010, the Group applied IFRS 3 (revised) for the accounting of business combinations. The changes in the accounting policies resulting from the application of IFRS 3 (revised) are applied prospectively.
The investments in subsidiaries, where the Group holds control, are fully consolidated from the date the Group assumes control over its financial and operational activities, until the control ceases to exist. Control is presumed to exist when the Group owns more than half of the voting rights. Additionally, control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to manage the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities, even if the percentage of capital held is less than 50%.
As from 1 January, 2010, accumulated losses are attributed to non-controlling interests in the respective proportion, implying that the Group can recognise negative non-controlling interests. Previously, when the accumulated losses of a subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest exceed the equity of the subsidiary attributable to the non-controlling interest, the excess was attributed to the Group and charged to the income statement as it occurs. Profits subsequently reported by the subsidiary are recognised as profits of the Group until the prior losses attributable to non-controlling interest previously recognised by the Group have been recovered.
As from 1 January, 2010, on a step acquisition process resulting in the acquisition of control, the revaluation of any participation previously acquired, is booked against the profit and loss account when goodwill is calculated. On a partial disposal resulting in loss of control over a subsidiary, any participation retained is revalued at market value on the sale date and the gain or loss resulting from this revaluation is booked against the income statement.
Investments in associated companies are consolidated by the equity method from the date that the Group acquires significant influence and the date it ceases to exist. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence but not control over the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. It is assumed that the Group has significant influence when it holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of the investee. If the Group holds, directly or indirectly less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee, it is presumed that the Group does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated.
The existence of significant influence by the Group is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
material transactions between the Group and the investee;
interchange of the management team; or
provision of essential technical information.
The consolidated financial statements include the part that is attributable to the Group of the total reserves and results of associated companies accounted on an equity basis. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the carrying amount is reduced to zero and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred in a legal obligation to assume those losses on behalf of an associate.
Goodwill arising from business combinations occurred before 1 January 2004 was charged against reserves.
Business combinations that occurred after 1 January 2004 are accounted under the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value, determined at the acquisition date, of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed including the costs directly attributable to the acquisition, for acquisitions up to 31 December, 2009.
As from 1 January, 2010 onwards, costs directly attributable to the acquisition of a subsidiary are booked directly in the income statement.
As from the transition date to IFRS (1 January 2004), positive goodwill arising from acquisitions is recognised as an asset carried at acquisition cost and is not subject to amortisation.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates is defined as the difference between the cost of acquisition and the total or corresponding share of the fair value of the net assets and contingent liabilities acquired, depending on the option taken.
Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised directly in the income statement in the year the business combination occurs.
The recoverable amount of the goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher between the assets value in use and the market value deducted of selling costs, calculated using valuation methodologies supported by discounted cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, the time value of money and the business risks.
Until 31 December 2009, the contingent acquisition prices were determined based on the best estimate of probable future payments, being the future changes booked against goodwill. As from 1 January 2010, goodwill is no longer adjusted due to changes in the initial estimate of the contingent purchase price and the difference is booked in the income statement, or in equity, when applicable.
Until 31 December, 2009, when an investment in a subsidiary was disposed of, without a loss in control, the difference between the sale price and the book value of the equity allocated to the proportion of capital to be sold by the Group, plus the carrying value of goodwill in that subsidiary, was recognised in the income statement of the period as a gain or loss resulting from the disposal. The dilution effect occurred when the percentage of investment in a subsidiary decreased without any sale of interest in that subsidiary, for example, when the Group did not participate proportionally in a share capital increase of that subsidiary. Until 31 December, 2009, the Group recognised the gains or losses resulting from a dilution of a subsidiary following a sale or capital increase in the income statement.
Also in an acquisition of non-controlling interests, until 31 December 2009, the difference between the acquisition value and the fair value of the noncontrolling interests acquired was accounted against goodwill. The acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related to investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests were recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. Any difference between the non-controlling interests acquired and the fair value of the liability was recorded as goodwill. The fair value of the liability was determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against goodwill and the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding) was recognised in the income statement. This accounting treatment is maintained for all options contracted until 31 December 2009.
Since 1 January 2010, the acquisition of the non-controlling interests that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary is accounted as a transaction with shareholders and, therefore, is not recognised additional goodwill resulting from this transaction. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of non-controlling interests acquired is recognised directly in reserves. On this basis, the gains and losses resulting from the sale of non-controlling interests, that does not impact the control position of a subsidiary, are always recognised against reserves.
The gains and losses resulting from the dilution or sale of a financial position in a subsidiary, with loss of control, are recognised by the Group in the income statement.
Similarly, as from 1 January 2010, the acquisitions of non-controlling interests through written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests, are recorded as a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, against non-controlling interests. The fair value of the liability is determined based on the contractual price which may be fixed or variable. In case of a variable price, the changes in the liability are recognised against the income statement as well as the effect of the financial discount of the liability (unwinding). As from 1 January 2010 onwards, in an acquisition (dilution) of non-controlling interests not resulting in a loss of control, the difference between the fair value of the non-controlling interests acquired and the acquisition value, is accounted against reserves.
The Group fully consolidates SPEs resulting from securitization operations of assets from Group entities (as referred in note 22) and from operations regarding the sale of loans, when the substance of the relation with those entities indicates that the Group exercises control over its activities, independently of the percentage of the equity held. Besides these SPEs resulting from securitization and sale of loans operations, no additional SPEs have been consolidated considering that they do not meet the criteria established on SIC 12 as described below.
The evaluation of the existence of control is determined based on the criteria established by SIC 12, which can be analysed as follows:
The activities of the SPE, in substance, are being conducted on behalf of the Group, in accordance with the specific needs of the Group's business, in order to obtain benefits from these activities;
The Group has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of the benefits of the activities of the SPE or, by setting up an autopilot mechanism, the Group has delegated these decision-making powers;
The Group has the rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPE and therefore may be exposed to risks inherent to the activities of the SPE;
The Group retains the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain benefits from its activities.
The Group manages assets held by investment funds for which the participation units are held by third parties. The financial statements of these entities are not consolidated by the Group, except when it has the control over these investment funds, namely when it holds more than 50% of the participation units.
When the Group consolidates real estate investment funds, the real estate property resulting from these funds are classified as investment property, as described in note 1 r).
The financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries and associates of the Group are prepared in their functional currency, defined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate or the currency in which the subsidiaries obtain their income or finance their activity. In the consolidation process, assets and liabilities, including goodwill, of foreign subsidiaries are converted into euros at the official exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The goodwill existing on these investments is valued against reserves.
Regarding the investments in foreign operations that are consolidated under the full consolidation, proportional or equity methods, for exchange differences between the conversion to Euros of the opening net assets at the beginning of the year and their value in Euros at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date for consolidated accounts are charged against consolidated reserves - exchange differences. The exchange differences from hedging instruments related to foreign operations are eliminated from profit and loss in the consolidation process against the exchange differences booked in reserves resulting from those investments. Whenever the hedge is not fully effective, the ineffective portion is accounted against profit and loss of the year.
The income and expenses of these subsidiaries are converted to Euros at an approximate rate of the rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Exchange differences from the conversion to Euros of the profits and losses for the reporting period, arising from the difference between the exchange rate used in the income statement and the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, are recognised in reserves - exchange differences.
On disposal of investments in foreign subsidiaries for which there is loss of control, exchange differences related to the investment in the foreign operation and to the associated hedge transaction previously recognised in reserves, are transferred to profit and loss as part of the gains or loss arising from the disposal.
The balances and transactions between Group's companies, or any unrealised gains and losses arising from these transactions, are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated in the proportion of the Group's investment in the entity.
Loans and advances to customers includes loans and advances originated by the Group which are not intended to be sold in the short term and are recognised when cash is advanced to costumers.
The derecognition of these assets occurs in the following situations: (i) the contractual rights of the Group have expired; or (ii) the Group transferred substantially all the associated risks and rewards.
Loans and advances to customers are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and fees and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, being presented in the balance sheet net of impairment losses.
The Group's policy consists in a regular assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment in the loan portfolios. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period.
After the initial recognition, a loan or a loan portfolio, defined as a group of loans with similar credit risk characteristics, can be classified as impaired when there is an objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events and when these have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan or of the loan portfolio that can be reliably estimated.
According to IAS 39, there are two basic methods of calculating impairment losses: (i) individually assessed loans; and (ii) collective assessment.
Impairment losses on individually assessed loans are determined by an evaluation of the exposures on a case-by-case basis. For each loan considered individually significant, the Group assesses, at each balance sheet date, the existence of any objective evidence of impairment. In determining such impairment losses on individually assessed loans, the following factors are considered:
Group's aggregate exposure to the customer and the existence of overdue loans;
The viability of the customer's business and capability to generate sufficient cash flow to service their debt obligations in the future;
Impairment losses are calculated by comparing the present value of the expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the loan, with its current carrying value, being the amount of any loss charged in the income statement. The carrying amount of impaired loans is reduced through the use of an allowance account. For loans with a variable interest rate, the discount rate used corresponds to the effective annual interest rate, which was applicable in the period that the impairment was determined.
Loans that are not identified as having an objective evidence of impairment are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics, and assessed collectively.
(ii) Collective assessment
Impairment losses are calculated on a collective basis under two different scenarios:
for homogeneous groups of loans that are not considered individually significant; or
losses which have been incurred but have not yet been reported (IBNR) on loans for which no objective evidence of impairment is identified (see last paragraph (i)).
The collective impairment loss is determined considering the following factors:
The methodology and assumptions used to estimate the future cash flows are reviewed regularly by the Group in order to monitor the differences between estimated and real losses.
Loans for which no evidence of impairment has been identified, are grouped together based on similar credit risk characteristics for calculating a collective impairment loss. This analysis allows the Group's recognition of losses whose identification in terms individual only occur in future periods.
In accordance with "Carta-Circular" no. 15/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals, for the part of the loans which is collateralised, is effectively received. This chargeoff is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.
(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement
1) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss
The financial assets and liabilities acquired or issued with the purpose of sale or re-acquisition on the short term, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, or that are part of a financial instruments portfolio and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking or that can be included in the definition of derivative (except in the case of a derivative classified as hedging) are classified as trading. The dividends associated to these portfolios are accounted in gains arising on trading and hedging activities.
The interest from debt instruments is recognised as net interest income.
Trading derivatives with a positive fair value are included in Financial assets held for trading and the trading derivatives with negative fair value are included in Financial liabilities held for trading.
The Group has adopted the Fair Value Option for certain own bond issues, loans and time deposits that contain embedded derivatives or with related hedging derivatives. The variations of the Group's credit risk related to financial liabilities accounted under the Fair Value Option are disclosed in Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities.
The designation of other financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss is performed whenever at least one of the requirements is fulfilled:
The financial assets and liabilities at Fair Value Option are initially accounted at their fair value, with the expenses or income related to the transactions being recognised in profit and loss and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accrual of interest and premium/discount (when applicable) is recognised in Net interest income according to the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as for accrual of interest of derivatives associated to financial instruments classified as Fair Value Option.
Financial assets available for sale held with the purpose of being maintained by the Group, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, are classified as available for sale, except if they are classified in another category of financial assets. The financial assets available for sale are initially accounted at fair value, including all expenses or income associated with the transactions. The financial assets available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in fair value are accounted for against fair value reserves until they are sold or an impairment loss exists. On disposal of the financial assets available for sale, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets. Interest income from debt instruments is recognised in Net interest income based on the effective interest rate, including a premium or discount when applicable. Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the right to receive the dividends is attributed.
The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, for which the Group has the intention and capacity to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or financial assets available for sale. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The interest is calculated using the effective interest rate method and recognised in Net interest income. The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
Any reclassification or disposal of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets, will require the Group to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Group will not be allowed to classify any assets under this category for the following two years.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments, that are not quoted in a market and which the Group does not intend to sell immediately or in a near future, may be classified in this category.
In addition to loans granted, the Group recognises in this category unquoted bonds and commercial paper. The financial assets recognised in this category are initially accounted at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost net of impairment. The incremental direct transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate for these financial instruments. The interest accounted based on the effective interest rate method are recognised in Net interest income.
The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
The other financial liabilities are all financial liabilities that are not recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. This category includes money market transactions, deposits from customers and from other financial institutions, issued debt, and other transactions.
These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The related transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate. The interest calculated at the effective interest rate is recognised in Net interest income.
The financial gains or losses calculated at the time of repurchase of other financial liabilities are recognised as Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities, when occurred.
At each balance sheet date, an assessment of the existence of objective evidence of impairment, is made. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quotation price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the Group's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
If an available for sale asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss) is removed from fair value reserves and recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. Recovery of impairment losses on equity instruments classified as financial assets available for sale, is recognised as a gain in fair value reserves when it occurs (if there are no reversal in the income statement).
Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately as derivatives, if the economic risks and benefits of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, unless the hybrid (combined) instrument is not initially measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss. Embedded derivatives are classified as trading and recognised at fair value with changes through profit and loss.
The Group designates derivatives and other financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, resulting from financing and investment activities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative hedging instruments are stated at fair value and gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. A hedge relationship exists when:
at the inception of the hedge there is formal documentation of the hedge;
the hedge is expected to be highly effective;
the hedge is valuable in a continuous basis and highly effective throughout the reporting period; and
for hedges of a forecasted transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
When a derivative financial instrument is used to hedge foreign exchange arising from monetary assets or liabilities, no hedge accounting model is applied. Any gain or loss associated to the derivative and to changes in foreign exchange risk related with the monetary items is recognised through profit and loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge instruments are recognised in profit and loss, together with changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the asset or liability or group of assets and liabilities. If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gains and losses recognised until the discontinuance of the hedge accounting are amortised through profit and loss over the residual period of the hedged item.
In a hedge relationship, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in equity - cash flow hedge reserves. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognised in profit and loss when occurred.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit and loss in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss.
In case of hedging variability of cash-flows, when the hedge instrument expires or is disposed or when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or when the hedge relation is revoked, the hedge relationship is discontinued on a prospective basis. Therefore, the fair value changes of the derivative accumulated in equity until the date of the discontinued hedge accounting can be:
Deferred over the residual period of the hedged instrument; or
Recognised immediately in results, if the hedged instrument is extinguished.
In the case of a discontinued hedge of a forecast transaction, the change in fair value of the derivative recognised in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit and loss.
For a hedge relationship to be classified as such according to IAS 39, effectiveness has to be demonstrated. As such, the Group performs prospective tests at the beginning date of the initial hedge, if applicable and retrospective tests in order to demonstrate at each reporting period the effectiveness of the hedging relationships, showing that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the changes in the hedged item for the risk being covered. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in profit and loss when incurred.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are included in the income statement on the disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss from the disposal.
In October 2008, the IASB issued a change to IAS 39 – Reclassification of Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures). This change allowed an entity to transfer financial assets from Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss – trading to Financial assets available for sale, to Loans and Receivables - Loans represented by securities or to Financial assets heldto-maturity, as long as the requirements described in the standard are met, namely:
The Group adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets, as disclosed in note 23.
Transfers of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available-for-sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and to Financial assets held-to-maturity are allowed, in determined and specific circumstances.
Transfers from and to Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss by decision of the entity (Fair value option) are prohibited.
The Group derecognises financial assets when all rights to future cash flows have expired. In a transfer of assets, derecognition can only occur either when risks and rewards have been substantially transferred or the Group does not maintain control over the assets.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when these are discharged, cancelled or extinguished.
An instrument is classified as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation at settlement to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, independently from its legal form, showing a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Transaction costs directly attributable to an equity instruments' issuance are recognised in equity as a deduction to the amount issued. Amounts paid or received related to sales or acquisitions of equity instruments are recognised in equity, net of transaction costs.
Preference shares issued by the Group are considered as an equity instrument when redemption of the shares is solely at the discretion of the issuer and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Group.
Income from equity instruments (dividends) are recognised when the right to receive this income is established and are deducted to equity.
Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity component (example: convertible bonds) are classified as compound financial instruments. For those instruments to be considered as compound financial instruments, the terms of its conversion to ordinary shares (number of shares) cannot change with changes in its fair value. The financial liability component corresponds to the present value of the future interest and principal payments, discounted at the market interest rate applicable to similar financial liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The equity component corresponds to the difference between the proceeds of the issue and the amount attributed to the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost through the effective interest rate method. The interests are recognised in Net interest income.
j) Securities borrowing and repurchase agreement transactions
Securities lent under securities lending arrangements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. Cash collateral received in respect of securities lent is recognised as a financial liability. Securities borrowed under securities borrowing agreements are not recognised. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under loans and advances to either banks or customers. Income and expenses arising from the securities borrowing and lending business are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in interest income or expense (net interest income).
The Group performs acquisition/sale of securities under reselling/repurchase agreements of securities substantially equivalent in a future date at a predetermined price ('repos'/'reverse repos'). The securities related to reselling agreements in a future date are not recognised on the balance sheet. The amounts paid are recognised in loans and advances to customers or loans and advances to credit institutions. The receivables are collateralised by the related securities. Securities sold through repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are revaluated in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. The amounts received from the proceeds of these securities are considered as deposits from customers and deposits from credit institutions.
The difference between the acquisition/sale and reselling/repurchase conditions is recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest income or expenses.
Non current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together and related liabilities that include at least a non current asset) and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when it is intention to sell the referred assets and liabilities and when the referred assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or groups of assets acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, which are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is performed in accordance with the applicable IFRS. After their reclassification, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their cost and fair value less costs to sell.
Discontinued operations and the subsidiaries acquired exclusively with the purpose to sell in the short term, are consolidated until the disposal.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale, the investments arising from recovered loans that are measured initially by the lower of its fair value net of selling costs and the loan's carrying amount on the date that the recovery occurs or the judicial decision is formalised.
The fair value is determined based on the expected selling price estimated through periodic valuations performed by the Group.
The subsequent accounting of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value net of expenses. In case of unrealised losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.
At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded as an asset and liability at fair value of the leased asset, which is equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial charge and the amortisation of the capital outstanding. The financial charge is allocated to the periods during the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining liability balance for each period.
At the lessor's perspective, assets held under finance leases are recorded in the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial income and amortization of the capital outstanding. Recognition of the financial result reflects a constant periodical return rate over the remaining net investment of the lessor.
Interest income and expense for financial instruments measured at amortised cost are recognised in the interest income or expenses (net interest income) through the effective interest rate method. The interest related to financial assets available for sale calculated at the effective interest rate method are also recognised in net interest income as well as those from assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, for a shorter period), to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example: early payment options) but without considering future impairment losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received considered as included in the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts directly related with the transaction, except for assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
If a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised based on the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Specifically regarding the accounting policy for interest on overdue loans' portfolio are considered the following aspects:
they are received, in accordance with IAS 18, on the basis that its recoverability is considered to be remote.
For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component of the changes in their fair value is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).
Fees and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:
Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in net interest income.
o) Financial net gains / losses (Net gains / losses arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity)
Financial net gains / losses includes gains and losses arising from financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, that is, fair value changes and interest on trading derivatives and embedded derivatives), as well as the corresponding dividends received. This caption also includes the impairment losses and gains and losses arising from the sale of available for sale financial assets and financial assets held to maturity. The changes in fair value of hedging derivatives and hedged items, when fair value hedge is applicable, are also recognised in this caption.
Assets held in the scope of fiduciary activities are not recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Fees and commissions arising from this activity are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they occur.
Property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits will result for the Group. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The Group performs impairment tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the book value exceeds the highest between the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell, being the difference charged to the profit and loss.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the following periods which correspond to their estimated useful life:
| Number of years | |
|---|---|
| Premises | 50 |
| Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings | 10 |
| Equipment | 4 to 12 |
| Other fixed assets | 3 |
Whenever there is an indication that a fixed tangible asset might be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss shall be recognised if the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is determined as the highest between the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use calculated based on the present value of future cash-flows estimated to be obtained from the continued use of the asset and its sale at the end of the useful life.
The impairment losses of the fixed tangible assets are recognised in profit and loss.
Real estate properties owned by the investment funds consolidated in the Group, are recognised as Investment properties considering, that the main objective of these buildings is the capital appreciation on a long term basis and not its sale in a short term period, or its maintenance for own use.
These investments are initially recognised at its acquisition cost, including the transaction costs and subsequently revaluated at its fair value. The fair value of the investment property should reflect the market conditions at the balance sheet date. Changes in fair value are recognised in results as Other operating income.
The expertises responsible for the valuation of the assets are properly certified for that purpose, being registered in CMVM.
Research and development expenditure
The Group does not capitalise any research and development costs. All expenses are recognised as costs in the year in which they occur.
Software
The Group accounts as intangible assets the costs associated to software acquired from external entities and depreciates them on a straight line basis by an estimated lifetime of three years. The Group does not capitalise internal costs arising from software development.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months' maturity from the balance sheet date, including cash and loans and advances to credit institutions.
Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with Central Banks.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined against profit and loss, except for financial assets available-for-sale, for which the difference is recognised against equity.
The Group has the responsibility to pay to their employees retirement pensions and widow and orphan benefits and permanent disability pensions, in accordance with the agreement entered with the collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pensions plans 'Plano ACT' and 'Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group, which corresponds to the referred collective labour arrangements (the conditions are estimated in the private social security of the banking sector for the constitution of the right to receive a pension).
Until 2011, along with the benefits provided in two planes above, the Group had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan). The Group at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP ( Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, having been assigned to the employees, individual rights acquired. On that date, the Group also proceed to the settlement of the related liability.
From 1 January 2011, banks' employees were integrated in the General Social Security Scheme which now covers their maternity, paternity, adoption and pension benefits. However, the Banks remain liable for those benefits as concern illness, disability and life insurance (Decree-Law no. 1-A/2011, of 3 January).
The contributory rate is 26.6% divided between 23.6% supported by the employer and 3% supported by the employees, replacing the Banking Social Healthcare System ('Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários') which was extinguished by the decree law referred above. As a consequence of this amendment the capability to receive pensions by the actual employees are covered by the General Social Security Scheme regime, considering the service period between 1 January 2011 and the retirement age. The Bank supports the remaining difference for the total pension assured in 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho'.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which was published on 31 December, was established an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions in order to transfer, to the Social Security, the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, as at 31 December 2011.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred related to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continued to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also established the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
The Group's net obligation in respect of pension plans (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on a half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year.
The current services cost plus the interest cost on the unwinding of the Pension liabilities less the expected return on the Plan assets are recorded in operational costs.
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted in order to determine its present value, using a discount rate determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations. The net obligations are determined after the deduction of the fair value of the assets of the Pension Plan.
Employee benefits, other than pension plans, namely post retirement health care benefits and benefits for the spouse and sons for death before retirement are also included in the benefit plan calculation.
Costs arising from early retirements are recognised in the income statement on the year in which the early retirement is approved and announced.
Gains and losses for the year are recognised against reserves in the year they occur.
The contributions to the funds are made annually by each Group company according to a certain plan contributions to ensure the solvency of the fund. The minimum level required for the funding is 100% regarding the pension payments and 95% regarding the past services of active employees.
For Defined Contribution Plan, the responsibilities related to the benefits attributed to the Group's employees are recognised as expenses when incurred.
As at 31 December 2012, the Group has two defined contribution plans. One plan that covers employees who were hired before July 1, 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Group's contributions will be made annually and equal to 1% of the annual remuneration paid to employees in the previous year. Contributions shall only be made if the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) exist distributable profits or reserves in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.
The other plan covers employees who have been hired after July 1, 2009. For this plan, designated contributory, monthly contributions will be made equal to 1.5% of the monthly remuneration received by employees in the current month, either by themselves or by the Group and employees.
As at 31 December 2012 there are no share based compensation plans in force.
The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.
This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.
The Group is subject to the regime established by the Income Tax Code ("CIRC"). Additionally, deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the accounting net income and the net income accepted by the Tax Authorities for Income Taxes calculation, are accounted for, whenever there is a reasonable probability that those taxes will be paid or recovered in the future.
Income tax registered in net income for the year comprises current and deferred tax effects. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except when related to items recognised directly in equity, which implies its recognition in equity. Deferred taxes arising from the revaluation of financial assets available for sale and cash flow hedging derivatives are recognised in shareholders' equity and are recognised after in the income statement at the moment the profit and loss that originated the deferred taxes are recognised.
Current tax is the value that determines the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred taxes are calculated in accordance with the liability method based on the balance sheet, considering temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes using the tax rates approved or substantially approved at balance sheet date and that is expected to be applied when the temporary difference is reversed.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, differences arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that probably they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes assets are recognised to the extent when it is probable that future taxable profits, will be available to absorb deductible temporary differences for taxation purposes (including reportable taxable losses).
The Group, as established in IAS 12, paragraph 74, compensates the deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if: (i) has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating segments. A business segment is a group of assets and operations that are subject to risks and returns different from other business segments. The results of the operating segments are periodically reviewed by the management with the aim of taking decisions. The Group prepares regular financial information concerning these segments, which is reported to Management. A geographical segment is a group of assets and operations located within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments. The Group controls its activity through the following major operating segments:
Foreign activity
Poland;
Greece;
The aggregate Others includes the activity not allocated to the segments mentioned above, namely the developed by subsidiaries in Romania, Switzerland and Cayman Islands.
Provisions are recognised when (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or resulting from past practices or published policies that imply the recognition of certain responsibilities), (ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
On the cases that the discount effect is material, provision corresponds to the actual value of the expected future payments, discounted by a rate that considers the associated risk of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate, being reverted through profit and loss in the proportion of the payments that are probable.
The provisions are derecognised through their use for the obligations for which they were initially accounted or for the cases that the situations were not already observed.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury stock.
For the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to consider conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible debt and stock options granted to employees. Potential or contingent share issues are treated as dilutive when their conversion to shares would decrease net earnings per share.
If the earnings per share are changed as a result of an issue with premium or discount or other event that changed the potential number of ordinary shares or as a result of changes in the accounting policies, the earnings per share for all presented periods should be adjusted retrospectively.
The Group issues contracts that contain insurance risk, financial risk or a combination of both insurance and financial risk. A contract, under which the Group accepts significant insurance risk from another party, by agreeing to compensate that party on the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event, is classified as an insurance contract.
A contract issued by the Group without significant insurance risk, but on which financial risk is transferred with discretionary participating features is classified as an investment contract recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies applicable to insurance contracts. A contract issued by the Group that transfers only financial risk, without discretionary participating features, is classified as an investment contract and accounted for as a financial instrument.
Premiums of life insurance and investment contracts with discretionary participating features, which are considered as long-term contracts are recognised when due from the policyholders. The benefits and other costs are recognised concurrently with the recognition of income over the life of the contracts. This specialization is achieved through the establishment of provisions / liabilities of insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features.
The responsibilities correspond to the present value of future benefits payable, net of administrative expenses directly associated with the contracts, less the theoretical premiums that would be required to comply with the established benefits and related expenses. The liabilities are determined based on assumptions of mortality, costs of management or investment at the valuation date.
For contracts where the payment period is significantly shorter than the period of benefit, premiums are deferred and recognised as income in proportion to the duration of risk coverage.
Regarding short-term contracts, including contracts of non-life insurance, premiums are recorded at the time of issue. The award is recognised as income acquired in a pro-rata basis during the term of the contract. The provision for unearned premiums represents the amount of premiums on risks not occurred.
Gross premiums written are recognised for as income in the period to which they respect independently from the moment of payment or receivable, in accordance with the accrual accounting principle.
Reinsurance premiums ceded are accounted for as expense in the year to which they respect in the same way as gross premiums written.
Provision for unearned premiums from direct insurance and reinsurance premiums ceded
The provision for unearned gross premiums is based on the evaluation of the premiums written before the end of the year but for which the risk period continues after the year end. This provision is calculated using the pro-rata temporis method applied to each contract in force.
At each reporting date, the Group evaluates the adequacy of liabilities arising from insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participating features. The evaluation of the adequacy of responsibilities is made based on the projection of future cash flows associated with each contract, discounted at market interest rate without risk. This evaluation is done product by product or aggregate of products when the risks are similar or managed jointly. Any deficiency, if exists, is recorded in the Group's results as determined.
The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Insurance Institute of Portugal to practice the activity of insurance mediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law n. º 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.
Within the insurance mediation services, the banks perform the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance mediation, the Banks receive commissions for arranging contracts of insurance and investment contracts, which are defined in the agreements / protocols established between the Banks and the Insurance Companies.
Commissions received by insurance mediation are recognised in accordance with the principle of accrual, so the commissions which payment occurs at different time period to which it relates, are subject to registration as an amount receivable under Other Assets.
IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments that require the Executive Committee and management to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting policies are discussed in this section in order to improve understanding of how their application affects the Group's reported results and related disclosure.
Considering that in some cases there are several alternatives to the accounting treatment chosen by the Executive Committee, the Group's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. Executive Committee believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present the Group's financial position and results fairly in all material aspects.
The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statements and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate.
The Group determines that financial assets available for-sale are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value below its acquisition cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets. According to the Group's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.
The Group reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment losses on a regularly basis, as described in note 1 c).
The evaluation process in determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The probability of default, risk ratings, value of associated collaterals recovery rates and the estimation of both the amount and timing of future cash flows, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a different level of impairment losses with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Group.
Fair values are based on listed market prices if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer price quotations (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curve and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating their values.
Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different financial results for a particular period.

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-tomaturity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.
If the Group fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances — for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity — it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value instead of amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are subject to impairment tests made by the Group. The use of different assumptions and estimates could have an impact on the income statement of the Group.
The Group sponsors the formation of SPEs primarily for asset securitization transactions for liquidity purposes and/or capital management.
The Group does not consolidate SPEs that it does not control. As it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether the Group does control an SPE, it makes judgments about its exposure to the risks and rewards, as well as about its ability to make operational decisions for the SPE in question.
The determination of the SPEs that needs to be consolidated by the Group requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the respective expected residual gains and losses and which party retains the majority of such residual gains and losses. Different estimates and assumptions could lead the Group to a different scope of consolidation with a direct impact in net income.
In the scope of the application of this accounting policy and in accordance with note 22, the following SPEs resulting from securitization transactions were included in the consolidation perimeter: NovaFinance n.4, Magellan n.2 and 3, Kion n.1 and n.3, Kion CLO Finance n.1, Orchis Sp zo.o, Caravela SME n.2 and Tagus Leasing n.1. The Group did not consolidate the following SPEs also resulting from securitization transactions: Magellan n.1 and n.4. For these SPEs, which are not recognised in the balance sheet, the Group concluded that the main risks and the benefits were transferred, as the Group does not hold any security issued by the SPE, which are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the worldwide amount for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the year.
The Portuguese Tax Authorities are entitled to review the Bank and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a period of four years or six years in case there are tax losses brought forward. Hence, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law which for its probability, the Executive Committee considers that there is no relevant material effect at the level of the Financial Statements.
Determining pension liabilities requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the use of actuarial projections, estimated returns on investment, and other factors that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.
Changes in these assumptions could materially affect these values.
The goodwill recoverable amount recognised as a Group's asset, is revised annually regardless the existence of impairment losses.
For this purpose, the carrying amount of the business units of the Group for which goodwill has been recognised is compared with the respective recoverable amount. A goodwill impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the business unit exceeds the respective recoverable amount.
In the absence of an available market value, the recoverable amount is determined using cash flows predictions, applying a discount rate that includes a risk premium appropriated to the business unit being tested. Determining the cash flows to discount and the discount rate, involves judgment.
IFRS requires separate disclosure of net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging activities, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity, as presented in notes 3, 6, 7 and 8. A particular business activity can generate impact in net interest income and net gains arising from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity. This disclosure requirement demonstrates the contribution of the different business activities for the net interest margin and net gains from trading and hedging, from financial assets available for sale and from financial assets held to maturity

The caption Staff costs includes costs associated with the restructuring program, early retirement and the recalculation of pension liabilities related to the Group's resizing program that resulted, in 2012, in a reduction of 977 employees. Those costs amount, in 2012, to a net value of Euros 69,252,000.
The balance Mandatory social security charges includes in 2012, a gain of Euros 63,951,000 resulting from the impact of the change of the calculation method of the death subsidy in accordance with the publication on 27 June 2012, of the Decree-Law no. 133/2012, which introduces changes in the calculation of the referred subsidy.
In accordance with IAS 19, it is a negative past service cost which occurs when changes in the benefits plan exist, which result in a reduction of the current value of the liabilities for rendered services. On this base, the gain should be deferred and amortised throughout the average vesting period. Considering that the acquisition conditions of the benefit are fulfilled (vested), in fact the employee or the pensioner has the right to the benefit without having to fulfil any service condition, as referred in note 50, the Group accounted for the referred impact in results.
The caption Mandatory social security charges includes in 2012, as referred in notes 40 and 50, a gain of Euros 1,091,000 (2011: Euros 35,492,000) related with the write-down of provisions established to cover the future updates in the retirement pension plan of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, following the agreements established, between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors.

During 2012 and 2011, no variable remuneration was attributed to the members of the Executive Committee.
Therefore, considering that the remuneration of the members of the Executive Committee intends to compensate the functions that are performed directly in the Bank and all other functions on subsidiaries or other companies for which they have been designated by indication or representing the Bank, in the last case, the net amount of the remunerations annually received by each member are deducted to the fixed annual remuneration attributed by the Bank.
During 2012, the costs with Social Security and the contributions to the Pension Fund for members of the Executive Board of Directors amounted to Euros 1,294,000 (2011: Euros 1,288,000).

For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals are effectively received. This charge-off is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.
The analysis of loans charged-off, by type of credit, is as follows:

The Group recognises impairment for financial assets available for sale when there is a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value or when there is an impact on expected future cash flows of the assets. This assessment involves judgement in which the Group takes into consideration among other factors, the volatility of the prices of securities.
Thus, as a consequence of the low liquidity and significant volatility in financial markets, the following factors were taken into consideration in determining the existence of impairment:
Equity instruments: (i) decreases more than 30% against the purchase price; or (ii) the market value below the purchase price for a period exceeding 12 months;
Debt instruments: when there is objective evidence of events with impact on recoverable value of future cash flows of these assets.

Hedging derivatives are measured in accordance with internal valuation techniques considering mainly observable market inputs. In accordance with the hierarchy of the valuation sources, as referred in IFRS 7 these derivatives are classified in level 2.
The Group applies derivatives to hedge interest and exchange rate exposure risks. The accounting method depends on the nature of the hedged risk, namely if the Group is exposed to fair value changes, variability in cash-flows or highly probable forecast transactions.
The Group adopts, for the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, the hedge accounting method mainly interest rate and exchange rate derivatives. The fair value hedge model is adopted for debt securities, loans granted with fixed rate loans and deposits and money market loans. The cash flows hedge model is adopted for future transactions in foreign currency to cover dynamic changes in cash flows from loans granted and variable rate deposits in foreign currency and foreign currency mortgage loans.
The relationships that follow the fair value hedge model recorded ineffectiveness for the year in the amount of Euros 29,457,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 22,891,000) and the hedging relationships that follow the cash flows model recorded ineffectiveness for the period of a negative amount of Euros 14,623,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 1,118,000).

The balance Financial assets held to maturity also includes, as at 31 December 2012, the amount of Euros 1,204,825,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 1,421,590,000) related to non derivatives financial assets (bonds) reclassified from financial assets held for trading caption to financial assets held to maturity caption, as referred in the accounting policy note 1 f) and note 23.
The balance Financial assets held to maturity also includes, as at 31 December 2012, the amount of Euros 547,811,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 578,799,000) related to non derivatives financial assets (bonds) reclassified from financial assets available for sale caption to financial assets held to maturity caption, as referred in the accounting policy note 1 f) and note 23.

As at 31 December 2011, the balance of Impairment for securities corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt, considering the evolution of the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.
Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.
Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following of the reestructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the second quarter of 2012, the impairment was charged off. The exchange offer occurred in 12 March 2012.
The PSI is part of an European Union Euros 130,000,000,000 bailout package for Greece.
After the exchange, the Group sold almost all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI. As at 31 December 2012, as result of this exchange, there are Greek sovereign debt securities in the portfolio of Millennium Bank (Greece) in the amount of Euros 19,950,000 that are registered in the financial assets available for sale and held for trading portfolios. The analysis comparing the fair value of these securities and the face value is presented in note 57.

According to the accounting policy described in note 1 b), the recoverable amount of the Goodwill is annually assessed, regardless of the existence of impairment triggers or, in accordance with the paragraph 9 of the IAS 36, every time there are indicators that the asset might be impaired.
In accordance with IAS 36 the recoverable amount of goodwill should be the greater between its value in use (the present value of the future cash flows expected from its use) and its fair value less costs to sell. Based on this criteria, the Group made in 2012, valuations of their investments for which there is goodwill recognised considering among other factors:
(i) an estimate of future cash flows generated by each entity;
(ii) an expectation of potential changes in the amounts and timing of cash flows;
(iii) the time value of money;
(iv) a risk premium associated with the uncertainty by holding the asset; and
(v) other factors associated with the current situation of financial markets.
The valuations are based on reasonable and sustainable assumptions representing the best estimate of the Executive Committee on the economic conditions that affect each subsidiary, the budgets and the latest projections approved for those subsidiaries and their extrapolation to future periods.
The assumptions made for these valuations might vary with the change in economic conditions and in the market.
The estimated cash flows of the business were projected based on current operating results and assuming the business plan and projections approved by the Executive Committee up to 2017, after which a perpetuity was considered based on the average long-term expected rate of return for this activity in the Polish market to be reached by 2017. Additionally it was taken into consideration the market performance of the Bank Millennium, S.A. and the percentage of shareholding, which constitutes per si a control premium over the market price on 31 December 2012. Based on this analysis and the expectations of future development, the Group conclude for the absence of impairment.
The business plan of Bank Millennium, S.A. comprises a five-year period, from 2013 to 2017, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate of 5% for Total Assets and of 10% for Total Equity, while considering a ROE evolution from 10% in 2012 to 14% by the end of the period.
The exchange rate EUR/PLN considered was 4.09 (December 2012 average).
The Cost of Equity considered was 10.125% and the annual growth rate in perpetuity (g) was 0%.
Taking into account the continuous deterioration of the economic situation in Greece and its impact on the projections for Millennium bank (Greece), the Group decided to book an additional impairment charge in the financial statements as at 31 December 2011, equivalent to the remaining amount of goodwill on its shareholding in such company, then amounting to Euros 147,130,000.
Considering the changes made in management of the real estate and mortgage credit over the past few years, the Executive Committee analysed this business as a whole regardless the origin of the operations and the company where they are accounted for.
The estimated cash flows of the business were projected based on current operating results and assuming the business plan and projections approved by the Executive Committee up to 2017 for the business of Banco de Investimento Imobiliário, S.A. and a set of assumptions related to the estimated future evolution of the businesses of mortgage credit originated in real estate agents network and real estate promotion. Based on this analysis and the expectations of future development, the Group conclude for the absence of impairment.
The Real estate and mortgage business comprises the current Banco de Investimento Imobiliário operations plus the income associated with other portfolios meanwhile booked in Banco Comercial Português.
The business plan and estimates for such business unit comprises a five-year period, from 2013 to 2017, considering, along this period, a compound annual growth rate of -21% for Total Assets and of -11% for the Allocated Capital and an average ROE evolution from 9% in 2012 to 17% by the end of the period.
The Cost of Equity considered was 13.375% for the period 2013-17 and 10.125% in perpetuity.
An average exit multiple of 1.73x was considered in relation to 2017 Allocated Capital, applied to the group of businesses associated with Real estate and mortgage business.

The guarantees granted by the Group may be related with loan transactions, where the Group grants a guarantee in connection with a loan granted to a client by a third entity. According with its specific characteristics it is expected that some of these guarantees expire without being executed and therefore these transactions do not necessarily represent a cash-outflow.
Stand-by letters and open documentary credits aim to ensure the payment to third parties from commercial deals with foreign entities and therefore financing the shipment of the goods. Therefore the credit risk of these transactions is limited once they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.
Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.
The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in note 1 c). The maximum credit exposure is represented by the nominal value that could be lost related to guarantees and commitments undertaken by the Group in the event of default by the respective counterparties, without considering potential recoveries or collaterals.
Considering their nature, as described above, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.
In accordance with the no. 4 of the 29th article of Decree-Law 252/2003 of October 17, which regulates collective investment organisms, the funds managing companies together with the custodian Bank of the Funds, are jointly responsible to all the funds investors, for the compliance of all legal obligations arising from the applicable Portuguese legislation and in accordance with the regulations of the funds.

As referred in note 39, the instrument is considered for accounting a debt instrument.
On May 31, 2012, the Annual General Meeting of the Bank was held. In this meeting the following resolutions were taken: (i) Approval of the individual and consolidated annual report, balance sheet and financial statements of 2011; (ii) Approval of the proposal to transfer the losses recorded in the 2011 individual balance sheet, amounting to 468,526,835.71 Euros, to Retained Earnings; (iii) Approval of the remuneration policy for the members of the Board of Directors, including the Executive Committee and approval of the remuneration policy for heads of function, senior executives and other employees; (iv) Approval of the change in the items under Equity, by reducing the amount of the share capital from Euros 6,064,999,986 to Euros 3,000,000,000.
Banco Comercial Português, S.A. in accordance to the resolutions adopted at the Annual General Meeting of the Bank held on May 31, 2012, registered, at the respective Commercial Registry Office, the decrease of the Bank's share capital from 6,064,999,986 Euros to 3,000,000,000 euros, without changing the number of existing shares with no nominal value, being this decrease composed of two separate amounts: a) 1,547,873,439.69 euros, to cover losses recorded in the Bank's individual financial statements for 2011; b) 1,517,126,546.31 euros, to reinforce future conditions for having funds that may be qualified as distributable under the regulatory provisions.
During the first semester of 2012, the Bank started an offer of repurchase of debt for holders of Magellan Mortgages No. 2 plc, and Magellan Mortgages No. 3 plc securities and Floating Rate Notes issued by Banco Comercial Portuguese SA, with repayment in May 2014. The offer is included in the set of initiatives undertaken by the Bank pursuant its liability management strategy. On this basis, it was repurchased Euros 486,981,371 of the nominal of these operations.
As at 23 March 2012, the Bank concluded the offer to repurchase the covered bonds listed below, issued by the Bank:
The Bank accepted all of the orders given by the investors which amounted to Euros 918,650,000 (nominal value). The following table sets out the amounts tendered and accepted for each issue:
The purpose of the offer was to proactively manage the Bank's outstanding liability and capital structure.
Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, as occurs regarding many products sold to clients, fair value is estimated through internal models based on cash-flow discounting techniques. Cash-flows for the different instruments sold are calculated according with its financial characteristics and the discount rates used include both the interest rate curve and the current conditions of the pricing policy in the Group.
Therefore, the fair value obtained is influenced by the parameters used in the evaluation model that, have some degree of judgement and reflect exclusively the value attributed to different financial instruments. However it does not consider prospective factors, as the future business evolution. Therefore the values presented cannot be understood as an estimate of the economic value of the Group.
The main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group are presented as follows:
Cash and deposits at Central Banks, Loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand
Considering the short term of these financial instruments, the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Loans and advances to credit institutions, Deposits from credit institutions and Assets with repurchase agreements
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates.
For Deposits from Central Banks it was considered that the book value is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, given the nature of operations and the associated short-term. The rate of return of funding with the European Central Bank was 0.75% as at 30 December 2012 (31 December 2011: 1%).
Regarding loans and advances to credit institutions and deposits from credit institutions, the discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group on identical instruments for each of the different residual maturities. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year). As at 31 December 2012, the average discount rate was 3.87% for loans and advances and 3.13% for deposits. As at 31 December 2011 the rates were 3.36% and 3.18%, respectively.
Financial assets held for trading (except derivatives), Financial liabilities held for trading (except derivatives), Financial assets available for sale and Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
These financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
Market interest rates are determined based on information released by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically as a result of prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from similar sources but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
When optionality is involved, the standard templates (Black-Scholes, Black, Ho and others) are used considering the volatility areas applicable. Whenever there are no references in the market of sufficient quality or that the available models do not fully apply to meet the characteristics of the financial instrument, specific quotations supplied by an external entity are applied, typically a counterparty of the business.
These financial instruments are accounted at amortised cost net of impairment. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value.
In case of derivative contracts that are quoted in organised markets their market prices are used. As for derivatives traded "Over-the-counter", it is applied methods based on numerical cash-flow discounting techniques and models for assessment of options considering variables of the market, particularly the interest rates on the instruments in question, and where necessary, their volatilities.
Interest rates are determined based on information disseminated by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically those resulting from prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from a similar source but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
The fair value of these instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the instalments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments for each of the homogeneous classes of this type of instrument and with similar residual maturity. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of 2012. The average discount rate was 4.92% as at 31 December 2012 and 6.38% as at 31 December 2011, assuming the projection of the variable rates according to the evolution of the forward rates implicit in the interest rate curves. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.
Considering the short maturity of these financial instruments, the conditions of the portfolio are similar to conditions used at the date of the report. Therefore the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows, considering that payments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Group in similar instruments with a similar maturity. The discount rate used reflects the actual rates of the Group to this type of funds and with similar residual maturity date. The discount rate includes the market rates of the residual maturity date (rates of monetary market or the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread of the Group at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the fourth quarter of 2012. As at 31 December 2012, the average discount rate was 3.43% and as at 31 December 2011 was 5.09%.
For these financial instruments the fair value was calculated for components for which fair value is not yet reflected in the balance sheet. Fixed rate instruments for which the Group adopts "hedge-accounting", the fair value related to the interest rate risk is already recognised.
For the fair value calculation, other components of risk were considered, in addition to the interest rate risk already recorded. The fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted by associated factors, predominantly the credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed for non-institutional customers of the Group.
As original reference, the Group applies the curves resulting from the market interest rate swaps for each specific currency. The credit risk (credit spread) is represented by an excess from the curve of interest rate swaps established specifically for each term and class of instruments based on the market prices on equivalent instruments.
For own debts placed among non institutional costumers of the Group, one more differential was added (commercial spread), which represents the margin between the financing cost in the institutional market and the cost obtained by distributing the respective instrument in the owned commercial network.
The average reference yield curve obtained from market prices in EUR and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 9.71% (31 December, 2011: 21.45%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market not considering the CoCo's issue. This issue, as referred in note 39, corresponds to a subordinated liability totally acquired by the State, issued at 29 June 2012, and therefore the fair value corresponds to the accounting balance. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 12.21% (31 December, 2011: 13.16%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 5.38% (31 December 2011: 18.00%) and 4.25% (31 December, 2011: 5.30%) for senior and collateralised securities placed on the retail market.
For debt securities, the fair value calculation focused on all the components of these instruments, as a result the difference determined as at 31 December 2012 was a negative amount of Euros 148,283,000 (31 December 2011: a negative amount of Euros 2,626,164,000), and includes a receivable amount of Euros 2,375,000 (31 December 2011: a receivable amount of Euros 107,250,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.
As at 31 December 2012, the following table presents the interest rates used in the definition of the interest rate curves of main currencies, namely EUR, USD, GBP and PLN used to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Group:

The Group assumed the liability to pay to their employees pensions on retirement or disability and other obligations. These liabilities comply with the terms of the 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho do Grupo BCP'. The Group's pension obligations and other liabilities are mainly covered through the Banco Comercial Português Pension Fund managed by PensõesGere - Sociedade Gestora de Fundo de Pensões, S.A.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no.127/2011, which was published on 31 December, an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions was established that regulated the transfer of the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, to the Social Security.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred relate to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continue to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also establishes the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
As referred in note 1w), in addition to the benefits provided for in collective agreements, the Group had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan).
The Group at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age of the Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP (Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change in the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made and the individual rights acquired were specifically assigned to the employees. On that date, the Group also performed to the settlement of the related liability, in the amount of Euros 233,457,000.
For accounting purposes and in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, as at 31 December, 2012, there was no impact of the change of plan considering that: (i) the present value of the liabilities had no changes, and (ii) despite the Bank has carried a settlement of the plan, the actuarial deviations associated with these liabilities had already been recognised in reserves in 2011 following the change in accounting policy. Following the changes made, the Bank has no longer any financial or actuarial risk associated with liquidated liabilities.
As at 31 December 2012 and 2011 the number of participants in the Pension Fund of Banco Comercial Português covered by this pension plan and other benefits is analysed as follows:

The balances Projected benefit obligations and Value of the Pension Fund as at 31 December 2011 reflect the effect of the transfer of liabilities and assets of the Fund associated to retirees and pensioners to the Social Security, in the amount of Euros 2,754,551,000. The settlement of 55% of the transfer, in the amount of Euros 1,510,536,000 was performed before 31 December 2011. During 2012, the Fund transferred the remaining amount of Euros 1,244,015,000.
As at 31 December 2012, the balance Impact resulting from the change of the calculation of the Death Subsidy amounts to Euros 63,951,000 and arises from the change of method of calculation of the death subsidy, following the publication in 27 June 2012 of the Decree-Law no. 133/2012 which introduces the changes in the calculation of the amount of the subsidy.
In accordance with IAS 19, it is a negative past service cost which occurs when there are changes on the benefit plan, which impact in a reduction of the current value of the responsibilities for past services. On this basis, the gain should be deferred and amortized through out the average vesting period. Considering that the acquisition conditions of the benefit are fulfilled (vested), since the pensioner has the right to the benefit without having to fulfil any service condition, the Group accounted the referred impact in results for the year.
As at 31 December 2012 the value of the benefits paid by the Pension Fund, excluding the Extra-fund, amounted to Euros 42,596,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 284,574,000). As at 29 June 2012 the final amount related to the pensioners to GSSS, in accordance with the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, was transfered which due to that change the population increased by Euros 7,143,000.
The liabilities with health benefits are fully covered by the Pension Fund and correspond, as at 31 December 2012, to the amount of Euros 264,163,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 251,017,000).
Regarding the coverage of some benefit obligations related to pensions, the Bank contracted with Ocidental Vida the acquisition of perpetual annuities for which the total liability as at 31 December 2012 amounts to Euros 86,231,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 90,236,000), in order to pay:
i) pensions of former Group's Board Members in accordance with the Bank's Board Members Retirement Regulation.
ii) pensions and complementary pension to pensioners in accordance with the Pension Fund of the BCP Group employees established in 28 December 1987, as also to pensioners, in accordance with other Pension Funds, that were incorporated after on the BCP Group Pension Fund and which were planed that the retirement benefits should be paid through the acquisition of insurance policies, in accordance with the Decree - Law no. 12/2006. As at 31 December 2012 the number of beneficiaries was 60.
Ocidental Vida is 100% owned by Ageas Group and Ageas Group is 49% owned by the Group.

In accordance with IAS 19, as at 31 December 2012, the Group accounted as post-employment benefits an income of Euros 69,160,000 (31 December 2011: cost of Euros 190,197,000), which is analysed as follows:

The caption Costs arising from the transfer under Decree-Law no. 127/2011 refers as at 31 December 2011, to the impact in the income statement resulting from the transfer of the liabilities of the retirees and pensioners to the Social Security Scheme. The impact refers to the recalculation of the liabilities based on the assumptions defined by the Portuguese Government within the scope of the transfer.
As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common on the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.
In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the Group has the responsibility of supporting the cost with the retirement pensions of former Group's Executive Board Members, as well as the Complementary Plan for these members in accordance with the applicable rules, funded through the Pension Fund, Extra-fund and perpetual annuities.
To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 4,413,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 5,504,000). As referred in notes 9 and 40, the decrease was the result of the write-down of provisions established to cover the future increases in the retirement pensions of the former members of the Executive Board of Directors, following the agreements established between the parties.
As referred in note 9, following the agreements established between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors the amount of Euros 18,900,000 related with amounts paid to set up a perpetual annuity policy to cover the responsibility with retirement pensions of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, were reimbursed by Ocidental Vida.
The movement of the amounts of the responsibilities with retirement pensions payable to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, included in the balance Other liabilities (note 40), is analysed as follows:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euros '000 | Euros '000 | |
| Balance as at 1 January | 5,504 | 40,996 |
| Write-back | (1,091) | (35,492) |
| Balance at the end of the period | 4,413 | 5,504 |
Considering the market indicators, particularly the estimations of the inflation rate and the long term interest rate for Euro Zone as well as the demographic characteristics of the employees, the Group considered the following actuarial assumptions for the calculation of the liabilities with pension obligations with reference to 31 December 2012 and 2011:
| 2012 | 2011 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase in future compensation levels | 1% until 2016 | |||
| 1.75% after 2017 | 2.00% | |||
| 0% until 2016 | ||||
| Rate of pensions increase | 0.75% after 2017 | 1.00% | ||
| Projected rate of return of fund assets | 4.50% | 5.50% | ||
| Discount rate | 4.50% | 5.50% | ||
| Mortality tables | ||||
| Men | TV 73/77 - 1 year | TV 73/77 - 1 year | ||
| Women | TV 88/90 - 2 years | TV 88/90 - 2 years | ||
| Disability rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||
| Turnover rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||
| Costs with health benefits increase rate | 6.50% | 6.50% |
The mortality tables consider an age inferior to the effective age of the beneficiaries, one year for men and two years for women, which is translated in higher average life expectancy.
The assumptions used on the calculation of the employees benefits are in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19. No disability decreases are considered in the calculation of the liabilities.
The determination of the discount rate as at 31 December 2012, took into account (i) the evolution in the major indexes in relation to high quality corporate bonds and (ii) duration of benefit plan liabilities.
The Group face to (i) the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and (ii) the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, led to a growth rate of wages progressive of 1% by 2016 and 1.75% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2016 and 0.75% from 2017.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013, the rate of return on plan assets considered in the calculation of the present value of the liabilities, corresponds to the discount rate.
However, the estimated expected return for 2013 is as follows:
| 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio % | Estimated return | |||
| Shares | 27.55% | 11.47% | ||
| Bonds and other fixed income securities | 20.16% | 3.50% | ||
| Participations units in investment funds | 11.10% | 5.08% | ||
| Participation units in real estate funds | 11.88% | 0.61% | ||
| Properties | 14.63% | 6.55% | ||
| Loans and advances to credit institutions and others | 14.67% | 3.50% | ||
| 5.98% |
Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 164,191,000 (31 December 2011: actuarial losses of Euros 200,690,000) and are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the pension liabilities and the actual liabilities and are analysed as follows:

The caption Actuarial (gains) / losses – Change on the assumptions – Discount rate, includes the amount of Euros 164,808,000 related with the costs arising from the recalculation of the liabilities transferred to the Social Security based on the discount rate defined for the transfer in accordance with the Decree-Law no. 127/2011. This amount, as referred in note 10, was charged against income statement.
Health benefit costs have a significant impact on pension costs. Considering this impact the Group performed a sensitivity analysis assuming one percent positive variation in health benefit costs (from 6.5% to 7.5% in 2012) and a negative variation (from 6.5% to 5.5% in 2012) in health benefit costs, which impact is analysed as follows:
| Positive variation of 1% (6.5% to 7.5%) |
Negative variation of 1% (6.5% to 5.5%) |

investment contracts – use of fixed rates on the responsibilities assumed by the insurance company under the commercialization of these products.
The segments presented, concerning business and geographic segments, are in accordance with IFRS 8. In accordance with the Group's management model, the primary segment corresponds to segments used for Executive Committee's management purposes.

The Retail segment in Portugal includes: (i) the Retail network in Portugal, where the strategic approach is to target "Mass Market" customers, who appreciate a value proposition based on innovation and speed, as well as Prestige and Small Business customers, whose specific characteristics, financial assets or income imply a value proposition based on innovation and personalisation, requiring a dedicated Account Manager; and (ii) ActivoBank, a bank focused on clients who are young in spirit, intensive users of new communication technologies and who prefer a banking relationship based on simplicity, offering modern products and services.
The Companies Banking business includes the includes the Companies segment in Portugal, which operates as a distribution channel of products and services from other companies of the Group, and the Corporate & Investment Banking segment.
The Companies in Portugal segment includes: (i) the Companies network, that covers the financial needs of companies with an annual turnover between Euros 2.5 million and Euros 50 million, and focuses on innovation, offering a wide range of traditional banking products complemented by specialised financing; (ii) the activity of the Real Estate Business Division.
The Corporate & Investment Banking segment includes: (i) the Corporate network in Portugal, targeting corporate and institutional customers with an annual turnover in excess of Euro 50 million, providing a complete range of value-added products and services; (ii) the Investment Banking unit, which specialises in capital markets, providing strategic and financial advisory, specialised financial services – Project finance, Corporate finance, Securities brokerage and Equity research - as well as structuring risk-hedging derivatives products; and (iii) the activity of the Bank's International Division.
The Asset Management and Private Banking segment, for purposes of the geographical segments, comprises the Private Banking network in Portugal and subsidiary companies specialised in the asset management business in Portugal. In terms of business segments, it also includes the activities of Banque Privée BCP and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust.
The Foreign Business segment, for the purpose of geographical segments, comprises the operations outside Portugal, in particular Bank Millennium in Poland, Millennium bank in Greece, Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland, Banca Millennium in Romania, Millennium bim in Mozambique, Banco Millennium Angola and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands. The Foreign Business segment, in terms of the business segments, comprises the Group operations outside Portugal referred to above, excluding Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands, which are included in the Asset Management and Private Banking segment.
In Poland, the Group is represented by a universal bank offering a wide range of financial products and services to individuals and companies nationwide; in Greece by an operation focused on retail and based on offering innovative products and high service levels; in Switzerland by Banque Privée BCP, a Private Banking platform under Swiss law; and in Romania with an operation focused on individuals and small and medium-sized companies. Additionally, the Group is represented in Mozambique by a universal bank targeting companies and individual customers; in Angola by a bank focused on private customers and companies as well as public and private institutions; and in the Cayman Islands by Millennium bcp Bank & Trust, a bank designed for international services in the area of Private Banking to customers with high net worth ("Affluent" segment).
Other segment includes the centralised management of shareholdings and the remaining corporate activities and operations that are not included in the business segments, namely the bancassurance activity, a joint-venture with the Belgian-Dutch Group Ageas, and the remaining amounts not allocated to the segments.
The figures reported for each business segment result from aggregating the subsidiaries and business units integrated in each segment, including the impact from capital allocation and the balancing process of each entity, both at balance sheet and income statement levels, based on average figures. Balance sheet headings for each subsidiary and business unit are re-calculated, given the replacement of their original own funds by the outcome of the capital allocation process, according to regulatory solvency criteria.
Considering that the capital allocation process complies with regulatory solvency criteria currently in place, the weighted risk, as well as the capital allocated to segments, are based on Basel II methodology. Following the request submitted by the Bank, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of that methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland.
Additionally, it was adopted the standard approach for operational risk and the internal models approach for general market risk and foreign exchange risk, for the perimeter managed centrally from Portugal. The capital allocation for each segment, in 2011 and in 2012, resulted from the application of 10% to the risks managed by each segment. Each operation is balanced through internal transfers of funds, with no impact on consolidated accounts.
Operating costs determined for each business area rely on one hand the amounts accounted directly in the respective cost centres, and on the other hand, the amounts resulting from internal cost allocation processes. For example, in the first set of costs are included costs related to phone communication, travelling accommodation and representation expenses and to advisory services and in the second set are included costs related to correspondence, water and electricity and to rents related to spaces occupied by organic units, among others. The allocation of this last set of costs is based on the application of previously defined criteria, related to the level of activity of each business area, like the number of current accounts, the number of customers or employees, the business volume and the space occupied.
Financial flows generated by the business areas, in particular the placement of funds from new deposits and funding of loans granted, are processed at market prices, having the Bank's Treasury as counterparty. These market prices are determined according to the currency, the maturity of the transactions and their repricing periods. Additionally, all financial flows resulting from capital allocation are based on the average 6-month Euribor interest rate for each given period.
Information related to 2011 is presented on a comparable basis with the information reported in 2012, reflecting the current organisational structure of the Group's business areas referred to in the Segment description described above, and considering the effect of the transfer of clients and also the redeployment of cost of funds held under the rationalization of the business platform.
The net contributions of each segment include, where applicable, the non-controlling interests. Thus, the net contribution reflects the individual results achieved by its business units, independent of the percentage held by the Group, including the impact of movements of funds described above. The following information is based on financial statements prepared according to IFRS and on the organisational model in place for the Group, as at 31December 2012.
The Group operates with special emphasis in the Portuguese market, and also in a few affinity markets and in markets of recognised growth potential. Considering this, the geographical segments include Portugal, Poland, Greece, Mozambique, Angola and Other. The segment Portugal reflects, essentially, the activities carried out by Banco Comercial Português in Portugal, ActivoBank and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário. The segment Poland includes the business carried out by Bank Millennium (Poland); the segment Greece contains the activity of Millennium Bank (Greece), while the segment Mozambique contains the activity of BIM - Banco Internacional de Moçambique and the segment Angola contains the activity of Banco Millennium Angola. The segment Other, indicated within the geographical segment reporting, comprises the Group's operations not included in the remaining segments, namely the activities developed in other countries, such as Banque Privée BCP in Switzerland, Banca Millennium in Romania and Millennium bcp Bank & Trust in the Cayman Islands.

The Group is subject to several risks during the course of its business. The risks from different companies of the Group are managed centrally coordinating with the local departments and considering the specific risks of each business.
The Group's risk-management policy is designed to ensure adequate relationship at all times between its own funds and the business it carries on, and also to evaluate the risk/return profile by business line.
Monitoring and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject are of particular importance.
Credit – Credit risk is associated with the degree of uncertainty of the expected returns as a result of the inability either of the borrower (and the guarantor, if any) or of the issuer of a security or of the counterparty to an agreement to fulfils their obligations.
Market – Market risk reflects the potential loss inherent in a given portfolio as a result of changes in rates (interest and exchange) and/or in the prices of the various financial instruments that make up the portfolio, considering both the correlations that exist between them and the respective volatility.
Liquidity – Liquidity risk reflects the Group's inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses resulting from the deterioration of the funding conditions (funding risk) and/or from the sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
Operational – Operational risk is understood to be the potential loss resulting from failures or inadequacies in internal procedures, persons or systems, and also the potential losses resulting from external events.
The Banco Comercial Português Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of the risk policy, including the approval at the very highest level of the principles and rules to be followed in risk management, as well as the guidelines dictating the allocation of economic capital to the business lines.
The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, ensures the existence of adequate risk control and of risk-management systems at the level both of the Group and of each entity. At the proposal of the Banco Comercial Português Executive Committee, the Board of Directors also approves the risk-tolerance level acceptable to the Group.
The Risk Commission is responsible for monitoring the overall levels of risk incurred, ensuring that they are compatible with the objectives and strategies approved for the business.
The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the control of risks in all the Group entities, in order to ensure that the risks are monitored on an overall basis and that there is alignment of concepts, practices and objectives. It must also keep the Risk Commission informed of the Group's level of risk, proposing measures to improve control and implementing the approved limits.
The activity of every entity included within the Banco Comercial Português consolidation perimeter is governed by the principles and decisions established centrally by the Risk Commission and the main subsidiaries are provided with Risk Office structures which are established in accordance with the risks inherent in their particular business. A Risk Control Commission has been set up at each relevant subsidiary, responsible for the control of risks at local level, in which the Group Risk Officer takes part.
The Group Head of Compliance is responsible for implementing systems of monitoring the compliance with legal obligations and responsibilities to which the Bank is subject, as well, the prevention, monitoring and reporting of risks in organizational processes, which include, among others, the prevention of money laundering, combating financing of terrorism, prevention of conflict of interest, issues related to abuse of market and compliance with the disclosure requirements to customers.
For purposes of profitability analysis and risk quantification and control, each entity is divided into the following management areas:
Trading and Sales: involves those positions whose objective is to obtain short-term gains through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, are tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and precisely, including the securities, the derivatives and the sales activities;
Financing: Financing operations of the group in the market, including both money market operations and institutional ones (and possible risk coverage), but no structural financing transactions (e.g. subordinated debt);
Investment: includes those positions in securities to be held to maturity, during a longer period of time or those that are not tradable on liquid markets, or any others that are held with no other purpose than short-term gains. Also includes any other hedging risk operation associated to those;
Commercial: includes all operations (assets and liabilities) held at the normal course of business group with its customers;
ALM: is the Assets and Liabilities management function, including operations decided by CALCO in the group's global risk management function and centralizes the transfer of risk between the remaining areas;
Structural: deals with balance sheet elements or operations that, because of their nature, are not directly related with any of the other areas, including structural financing operations of the group, capital and balance sheet fixed items;
The definition of the management areas allows effective separation of the management of the trading and banking portfolios, as well as a proper allocation of each operation to the most appropriate management area according to their context.
Credit granting is based on prior classification of the customers' risk and on thorough assessment of the level of protection provided by the underlying collateral. In order to do so, a single risk-notation system has been introduced, the Rating Master Scale. It is based on the expected probability of default, allowing greater discrimination in the assessment of the customers and better establishment of the hierarchies of the associated risk. The Rating Master Scale also identifies those customers showing worsening credit capacity and, in particular, those classified as being in default in keeping with the Basel II Accord.
All the rating and scoring models used by the Group have been duly calibrated for the Rating Master Scale.
The protection-level concept has been introduced as a crucial element of evaluation of the effectiveness of the collateral in credit-risk mitigation, leading to more active collateralization of loans and more adequate pricing of the risk incurred.
To quantify the credit risk at the level of the various portfolios, the Group has developed a model based on an actuarial approach, which provides the distribution of total loss probability. In addition to the Probability of Default (PD) and of the Amount of the Loss Given Default (LGD) as the central points, consideration is also given to the uncertainty associated with the development of these parameters, through the introduction of the respective volatility. The effects of diversification and/or concentration between the sectors of the loan portfolios are quantified by introducing the respective correlations.
The gross Group's exposure to credit risk (original exposure), as at 31 December 2012 and 2011 is presented in the following table:

The Group in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the diverse portfolios uses an integrated risk measure that includes the main types of market risk identified by the Group: generic risk, specific risk, non linear risk and commodities risk.
The measure used in evaluating the generic market risk is the VaR (Value at Risk). The VaR is calculated on the basis of the analysis approximation defined in the methodology developed by the RiskMetrics. It is calculated considering a 10-working day time horizon and an unilateral statistical confidence interval of 99%. In calculating the volatility associated with each risk vector, the model assumes a greater weighting for the market conditions seen in the more recent days, thus ensuring more accurate adjustment to market conditions.
A specific risk evaluation model is also applied to securities (bonds, shares, certificates, etc) and associated derivatives for which the performance is related to its value. With the necessary adjustments, this model follows regulatory standard methodology.
Complementary measures for the non-linear risk, at a confidence level of 99%, and a standard measure for the commodities risk are also used.
These measures are included in the indicator of market risk with the conservative assumption of perfect correlation between the various types of risk (the worstcase scenario).
Capital at risk values are determined both on an individual basis for each one of the position portfolios of those areas having responsibilities in risk taking and management, as well as in consolidated terms taking into account the effects of diversification between the various portfolios.
To ensure that the VaR model adopted is appropriate to the evaluation of the risks involved in the positions that have been assumed, a back testing process has been instituted. This is carried out on a daily basis and it confronts the VaR indicators with the actual results.
The following table shows the main indicators for these measures to the trading portfolio, during 2012:

Evaluation of the interest rate risk originated by the banking portfolio is performed by a risk sensitivity analysis process carried out every month for all operations included in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.
For this analysis are considered the financial characteristics of the contracts available in information systems. Based on these data, a projection for expected cash flows is made, according to the repricing dates and any prepayment assumptions considered.
Aggregation of the expected cash flows for each time interval for each of the currencies under analysis allows determination of the interest rate gaps per repricing period.
The interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet in each currency is calculated through the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch after discounting the market interest rates and the discounted value of the same cash flows by simulating parallel shifts of the market interest rates.
The following tables shows the expected impact on the banking books economic value of parallel shifts of the yield curve by +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points, on each of the main currencies:

Evaluation of the Group's liquidity risk is carried out using indicators defined by the supervisory authorities on a regular basis and other internal metrics for which exposure limits are also defined.
The evolution of the Group's liquidity situation for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is reviewed daily on the basis of two indicators defined in-house, immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity. These measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise on a single day, considering the cash-flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.
Calculation of these indicators involves adding to the liquidity position of the day under analysis the estimated future cash flows for each day of the respective time horizon (3 days or 3 months) for the transactions as a whole brokered by the markets areas, including the transactions with customers of the Corporate and Private networks that, for their dimension, have to be quoted by the Trading Room. The amount of assets in the Bank's securities portfolio considered highly liquid is added to the calculated value, leading to determination of the liquidity gap accumulated for each day of the period under review.
In parallel, the evolution of the Group's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors that justify the variations that occur. This analysis is submitted to the Capital and Assets and Liabilities Committee (CALCO) for appraisal, in order to enable the decision making that leads to the maintenance of financing conditions adequate to the continuation of the business.
In addition, the Risks Commission is responsible for controlling the liquidity risk.
This control is reinforced with the monthly execution of stress tests, to characterize the Bank's risk profile and to ensure that the Group and each of its subsidiaries, fulfil its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis. These tests are also used to support the liquidity contingency plan and management decisions.
In the current conjuncture, and given the continued prudent management of liquidity by the Group during the course of this whole situation, has been reinforced the buffer role provided by the liquidity asset portfolio discountable with the ECB (or other Central Banks). In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB increased Euro 2.015.817.000 during the year of 2012 finishing with a value of Euro 17.690.385.000.
The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank and other Central Banks in Europe, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:
| 2012 Euros '000 |
2011 Euros '000 |

15,674,568 784,665 |
| 18,677,021 | 16,459,233 |
As at 31 December 2012, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank and Other Central Banks amounted to Euros 12,255,000,000 and Euros 0 respectively (31 December 2011: Euros 12,706,000,000 and Euros 0).
The amount of eligible assets for funding operations in the European Central Banks includes securities issued by SPE concerning securitization operations in which the assets were not derecognised at a consolidated level, therefore the respective securities are not recognised in the securities portfolio.

The approach to operational risk management is based on the business and support end-to-end processes. Process management is the responsibility of the Process Owners, who are the first parties responsible for evaluation of the risks and for strengthening the performance within the scope of their processes. The Process Owners are responsible for keeping up to date all the relevant documentation concerning the processes, for ensuring the real adequacy of all the existing controls through direct supervision or by delegation on the departments responsible for the controls in question, for coordinating and taking part in the risk self-assessment exercises, and for detecting and implementing improvement opportunities, including mitigating measures for the more significant exposures.
In the operational risk model implemented in the Group, there is a systematic process of gathering information on operational losses, that defines on a systematic form, the causes and the effects associated to an eventual detected loss. From the analysis of the historical information and its relationships, processes involving greater risk are identified and mitigation measures are launched to reduce the critical exposures.
The contractual terms of instruments of wholesale funding encompass obligations assumed by entities belonging to the Group as debtors or issuers, concerning general duties of societary conduct, maintenance of banking activity and the inexistence of special guarantees constituted for the benefit of other creditors ("negative pledge"). These terms reflect essentially the standards internationally adopted for each type of instrument.
The terms of the Group's participation in securitization operations involving its own assets are subject to mandatory changes in case the Group stops respecting certain rating criteria. The criteria established in each transaction results mainly from the existing risk analysis at the moment that the transaction was set, being these methodologies usually applied by each rating agency in a standardised way to all the securitization transactions involving the same type of loans.
Considering that relevant impacts occurred with previous downgrades, reductions in the Bank's rating notations during 2012 had no significant additional implications with respect to the covenants included in the existing securitization transactions.
Regarding the Covered Bond Programs of Banco Comercial Português and Banco de Investimento Imobiliário that are currently underway, there are no relevant covenants related to a possible downgrade of the Bank.
Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on Internal Rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the activity in Portugal as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, the Bank of Portugal authorised the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" in Portugal with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates" in Portugal and the adoption of IRB methodologies for "Loans secured by residential real estate" and "Renewable positions" of the Retail portfolio in Poland. In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
Consolidated own funds of Banco Comercial Português are determined according to the applicable regulatory rules, namely the Regulation nº6/2010 from the Bank of Portugal. The own funds result from adding tier 1 with tier 2 and subtracting the component of Deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, established in the Regulation nº3/2011, and other relevant elements to the discharge of tier 1. The tier 1 and, in particular, core tier 1, comprises the steadiest components of the own funds.
As core tier 1 positive elements, the paid-up capital and the share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings, non-controlling interests in fully consolidated subsidiaries and the deferred impacts related to the transition adjustments to the International Financial Reporting Standards, are considered. Net losses, own shares, the shortfall of impairment to the regulatory provisions of the Regulation nº3/95 from the Bank of Portugal, calculated on an individual basis for exposures treated by the standardised approach, goodwill and other intangible assets correspond to negative elements.
At the end of the 2011 the Bank decided for a change in the accounting policy related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the Pension Fund. Accordingly, and following an analysis of the options permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee benefits, the Group decided to recognize the actuarial gains and losses against reserves. Previously, the Group used to defer actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the unrecognised actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the largest among between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the assets were recognised against the income statement according to the estimated remaining useful life of active employees.
Despite this change in accounting policy, the Bank of Portugal, for prudential purposes, allowed to continue to be used a corridor, corresponding to the higher value between i) 10% of liabilities from retirement and other pensions benefits, and ii) 10% of the value of the Pension Fund, as defined in the Regulation nº2/2012 from the Bank of Portugal. This corridor was enlarged by the Bank of Portugal to include the impacts that resulted from the change of mortality tables in 2005 and the actuarial losses of 2008, excluding the expected return of the fund's assets in the same year. This enlarged corridor is subject to a monthly amortization, which ended in December 2012.
Core tier 1 can also be influenced by the replacement of unrealised gains and losses which do not represent impairment on debt securities, loans and other receivables recorded in the available-for-sale portfolio, on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk, as well as by the reversal of unrealised gains on equity securities classified as available-for-sale and loans and other receivables from the trading portfolio or measured at fair value through profits and losses.
Since the second half of 2011, the Bank of Portugal established new rules which have influenced the core tier 1 of the Group:
In November 2011, the Bank of Portugal issued a clarification regarding the Regulation nº 6/2010, determining a deduction to core tier 1 related to customers deposits with yields above a certain threshold (Instruction nº15/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
The Bank of Portugal has allowed the prudential neutralization, as from December 2011 and until June 2012, of the impacts related to the transfer of part of pension liabilities to the General Social Security Scheme and the Special Inspection Programme, carried out under the program of financial assistance to Portugal (Regulation nº1/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
In June 2012, the Bank issue Euros 3,000 millions of core tier 1 capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the recapitalization process of the Group and in accordance with Regulation n. 3/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. These instruments eligible until the maximum of 50% of core tier 1. The additional elements that integrate the tier I are preference shares, other hybrid instruments, and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions and insurers; and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.
The tier 2 includes the subordinated debt and 45% of the unrealized gains on available for sale assets that have been deducted to core tier 1. These components are part of the upper tier 2, except the subordinated debt, that is split between upper tier 2 (perpetual debt) and lower tier 2 (the remaining). Subordinated debt can only be included in the own funds with the agreement of the Bank of Portugal and as long as their total amount complies with the following limits: a) the tier 2 cannot surpass the amount of the tier 1 and b) the lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of the tier 1. Additionally, non-perpetual subordinated loans should be amortised at a 20% annual rate, during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% not deducted to the tier 1: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach. If the amount of tier 2 is not enough to accommodate this deduction, the excess should be subtracted to the tier 1.
In order to conclude the calculation of the regulatory capital, there are still some deductions to the own funds that need to be performed, namely the amount of real-estate assets resulting from recovered loans that have exceeded the regulatory period of permanence in the Bank's accounts, the impairment concerning securitization transactions that have not reached the regulatory definition of effective risk transfer, to the extent of the amounts not recognised in the Bank's accounts, and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits in the scope of Bank of Portugal published Regulation nº7/2010.
Capital requirements have been determined in accordance with the Basel II framework since the beginning of 2008. Capital requirements for credit risk have been determined in accordance with the Regulation nº5/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using IRB approaches to calculate minimum capital requirements for exposures managed from Portugal, covering a substantial part of the retail and corporate portfolios, and for a significant part of the retail portfolio of Poland as from 31 December 2012, and the standardised approach for the remaining portfolios and geographies.
Capital requirements for operational risk have been calculated following the standard approach described in the Regulation nº9/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, and capital requirements for the trading portfolio have been calculated according to the Regulation nº8/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using the internal models approach to calculate capital requirements for the generic market risk of the trading portfolio, comprising the sub-portfolios managed from Portugal, related to debt instruments, capital instruments and foreign exchange risks, and the standardised approach to calculate capital requirements for the specific risk.
Additionally, in the scope of the program of financial assistance to Portugal, the Bank of Portugal established, through the Regulation nº3/2011, that financial groups should reinforce their core tier 1 ratios, on a consolidated basis, to at least 9% until 31 December 2011 and 10% until 31 December 2012. In accordance to the criteria defined by EBA, which include the capital buffer of Euros 848 million related to sovereign risks, the Group reached a core tier 1 ratio of 9.8% in December 2012, above the minimum established limit (9%).

Recently Issued pronouncements already adopted by the Group in the preparation of the financial Statements are the following:
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), issued on 7th October 2010, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets", effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2011. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1205/2011, 22nd November.
The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets that enable users of the financial statements:
The amendments also required additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.
The adoption of this amendment by the Group had no impact on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 20 December 2010, amendments to "IAS 12 – Income Tax – Recovery of Underlying Assets" (and withdraw SIC 21 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets), effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.
The amendments to IAS 12 provide that, the deferred taxes related to investment properties are measured with the presumption that recovery of the carrying amount of an asset measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 Investment Property will, normally, be through sale. Before the amendment, entities were allowed to consider that the carrying amount of investment proprieties would be recovered either through use or sale, depending on management intention.
The adoption of this amendment by the Group had no impact on its financial statements.
Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income – Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements
The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.
The changes retain the entity's option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two statements, however requires:
to present separately the items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss; and
an entity that presents items of other comprehensive income before related tax effects will also have to allocate the aggregated tax amount between the two subcategories;
change the title to "statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income" - although other titles could be used.
The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 19 – Employee Benefits", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.
The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor method and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The Group made, in 2011, a voluntary change in the accounting police related to actuarial gains and losses arising from its post employment benefits which from 2011 are charged to equity, under other comprehensive income.
However, the amended standard will impact the net benefit expenses as the expected return on plan assets will be calculated using the same interest rate as applied for the purpose of discounting the benefit obligation. This change will also have no impact on the Group financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.
These amendments required an entity to disclose information about what amounts have been offset in the statement of financial position and the nature and extend of rights to set-off and related arrangements (e.g. collateral arrangements).
The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32.
The Group expects that adoption of the amendments to IFRS 7 will require more extensive disclosures about rights of set-off.
The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.
The IASB amended IAS 32 to add application guidance to address the inconsistent application of the standard in practice. The application guidance clarifies that the sentence 'currently has a legal enforceable right of set-off' means that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, of the entity and all of the counterparties.
The application guidance also specifies the characteristics of gross settlement systems in order to be considered equivalent to net settlement.
The Group is not expecting a significant impact form the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting police already adopted.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, amendments to "IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December.
Taking in consideration that IFRS 10 addresses the principles of controls and the requirements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, IAS 27 was amended to cover exclusively separate financial statements.
The amendments aimed, on one hand, to clarify the disclosures required by an entity preparing separate financial statements so that the entity would be required to disclose the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different) of significant investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and, if applicable, of the parent.
The previous version required the disclosure of the country of incorporation or residence of such entities.
On the other hand, it was aligned the effective dates for all consolidated standards (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendments to IAS 28).
The Group expects no relevant impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 10, withdraw part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated.
The new concept of control involves the assessment of power, exposure to variability in returns and a linkage between the two. An investment controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variability returns from its involvement with the investee and is able to affect those returns through its power over the investee (facto control).
The investor considers whether it controls the relevant activities of the investee, taking into consideration the new concept. The assessment should be done at each reporting period because the relation between power and exposure variability in returns may change over the time.
Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specified assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as silo).
The new standard also introduce other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standards and ii) enhanced disclosures are requires, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.
Nevertheless, the Group does not expect any significant impact on the application of this standard on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 11 Joint arrangements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 11, withdraw IAS 31 and SIC 13, defines "joint control" by incorporating the same control model as defined in IFRS 10 and requires an entity that is part of a "join arrangement" to determine the nature of the joint arrangement ("joint operations" or "joint ventures") by assessing its rights and obligations.
IFRS 11 removes the option to account for joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation. Instead, joint arrangements that meet the definition of "joint venture" must be account for using the equity method (IAS 28).
The group has not carried out a thorough analysis of the impacts of the application of this standard. Nevertheless, the Group does not expect any significant impact on the application of this standard on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed as IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint ventures, and describes the application of the entity method to investments in joint ventures and associates.
The Group expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
The objective of this new standard is to require an entity to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate: (a) the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; and (b) the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
The Group is still assessing the full impact of the new IFRS 12 in line with IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 13 fair value Measurement", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.
IFRS 13 provides a single source of guidance on how fair value is measured, and replaces the fair value measurement guidance that is currently dispersed throughout IFRS. Subject to limited exceptions, IFRS 13 is applied when fair value measurements or disclosures are required or permitted by other IFRSs.
The Group is currently reviewing its methodologies for determining fair values, to evaluate if this rule has any impact on its financial statements.
Although many of IFRS 13 disclosures requirements regarding financial assets and financial liabilities are already required, the adoption of IFRS 13 will require the Group to provide additional disclosures. These include fair value hierarchy disclosures for non-financial assets/liabilities and disclosures on fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3.
Investment Entities – Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (issued by IASB on 31st October 2012)
The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualifies as investment entities. The IASB uses the term 'investment entity' to refer to an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. An investment entity must also evaluate the performance of its investments on a fair value basis. Such entities could include private equity organizations, venture capital organizations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other investment funds.
The amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities.
The amendments are effective from 1 January 2014 with early adoption permitted. This option allows investment entities to apply the Investment Entities amendments on the same date as the first application of the remaining IFRS 10.
The Group expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The annual improvements cycle 2009-2011, issued by IASB on 17th May 2012, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st January 2013, to the standards IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32, IAS 34 and IFRIC 2.
This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is related with the previous period.
This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.
The improvements clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, avoiding any interpretation that may mean any either application.
The amendments align the disclosure requirement for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. The Group is not expecting any significant impacts from the adoption of these improvements, taking into consideration the accounting police already adopted.
IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additional requirements related to financial liabilities. The IASB currently has an active project to perform limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
The IFRS 9 (2009) requirements represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.
For an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual shareby-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments are recognized in profits or loss, rather than other comprehensive income unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.
Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
The standard requires that derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are not separated; instead the hybrid financial instruments is assessed in its entirety as to whether it should be amortized cost or fair value.
IFRS 9 (2010) introduces a new requirement in respect of financial liabilities designated under the fair value option to generally present fair value changes that are attributable to the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss. Apart from this change, IFRS 9 (2010) largely carries forward without substantive amendment the guidance on classification and measurement of financial liabilities from IAS 39.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 with early adoption permitted. The IASB decided to consider making limited amendments to IFRS 9 to address practice and other issues.
The Group has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard but is waiting for finalization of the limited amendments before the evaluation can be completed. Given the nature of the Group's operation, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Group's financial statements.
A press release issued by the Bank of Portugal on 28 December 2007 mentioned that such administrative proceedings were initiated "based in facts related with 17 off-shore entities, whose nature and activities were always hidden from Bank of Portugal, in particular in previous inspections carried out". On 12 December 2008, the Bank was notified of an accusation under the administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO instructed by the Bank of Portugal, in which this Authority charges the Bank and the other defendants, with the practice of six administrative offences regulated by paragraph g) and three administrative offences regulated by paragraph r) of article 211 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).
The offences, should the charges be proven true, would be the following:
a) Failure to comply with the applicable accounting rules, determined by law or by the Bank of Portugal, that do not cause serious damages to the knowledge of the company's assets and financial standing is an administrative offence regulated in article 210 (f) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, if such conduct causes serious damages, it may become the offence regulated in article 211 (g) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.
b) the (i) omission of information and communications to the Bank of Portugal, within the due deadlines or (ii) the provision of incomplete information are offences regulated in article 210 (h – presently amended to i) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, the (i) provision of false information or (ii) of incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal that may lead to wrongful conclusions with the same or similar effect as false information regarding that subject are offences regulated in article 211 (r) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.
According to the charges, each offence is punishable by a fine between Euros 2,493.99 and Euros 2,493,989.49, and pursuant to the rules on accrued offences, defined in article 19 (1 and 2), of the Portuguese regime on administrative offences (Regime Geral das Contra-ordenações), in case of conviction for several offences, there shall be a single fine, the maximum amount of which cannot surpass twice the highest limit of the accrued offences.
On March 2009, the Bank did not accept the charges or accusations made and provided defence under these administrative proceedings within due term.
On 12 May 2010, the Bank was notified of the contents of the decision that, within the scope of the proceedings, was issued by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal, applying to it, as primary sanction, a single fine of Euros 5,000,000.
Different fines were applied to the remaining defendants as primary sanctions, globally amounting to Euros 4,470,000. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal decided to file the proceedings relating to a former Director and a Manager.
The Bank objected to this decision and has already been informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.
The trial hearing began in April 2011 and in September, the Court heard the witnesses so as to better appraise the validity of the documentation provided with the claims and their eventual nullity as evidence due to violation of banking secrecy.
After the hearing, the Court issued a decision dated of 7 October 2011 declaring that the evidence was null and therefore the entire process was annulled. The Public Prosecutor and Banco of Portugal appealed this decision. The Bank and other defendants have already presented their counter-claim.
On 5 July 2012, the Bank was notified of the decision of the Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Lisbon court of appeals) which approved the appeals presented by Banco de Portugal and by the public prosecution, and revoked the decision appealed, determining that, "there being no other reason not to, the trial hearing shall be continued and at the appropriate moment, a decision will be made based on the evidence"
Several defendants (natural persons) presented an appeal to the Constitutional Court and the proceeding is waiting to be appraised.
Considering this notification, and although considering as reproduced the contents of the defence presented in the above mentioned administrative proceedings, the Bank decided, in order to avoid any risk of a future allegation of loss of the right to an indemnity that may occur if no recourse is presented in this process, to present legal documentation regarding: (i) the recognition of its right, in a later period namely following the final identification of the facts, present a separate process in civil courts requesting an indemnity and (ii) additionally and cautiously, if the right to the request of a separate indemnity process in civil courts is not recognised, a civil indemnity according to the facts and terms mentioned in the accusation, if they are proven.
On 19 July 2011 the Bank was notified of the decision of the 8ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa (Lisbon criminal court section) to recognise that the Bank could present an eventual request for civil indemnity separately. One of the Defendants appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals, which was admitted by the first instance court but has a merely devolutive effect, being passed to the higher court only with the eventual appeal that ends the proceedings.
The debate and trial hearing is currently underway.
The loan agreements are ruled by the Swiss Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Swiss courts and the Bank was informed that, according to the Swiss law, the Plaintiffs' request is not likely to be granted. Since the lawsuit was brought forward in the Portuguese courts, if the Portuguese courts decide to try the same, its outcome may be uncertain. Since the Bank believes that the Plaintiffs' request has no grounds, the Bank did not make any provisions regarding this litigation.
On 29 October 2012, the Bank presented its arguments. Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. requested that the citation be considered null; the request was accepted and an order was issued for the repetition of the citation, and the same was repeated on 08 January 2013, and Banque Privée now has 60 days to present its arguments.

The values for Credit Default Swaps identified in the tables above, are economically offset by other symmetrical Credit Default Swaps or Credit Linked Notes issued by the Group and for which is applied the Fair Value Option or are being detached embedded derivatives associated, so that, in net terms, the Group is not exposed to the risks underlying sovereign risks.
The evolution of the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.
Considering this, as at 31 December 2011, the balance of Impairment for securities corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt.
Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.
Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following of the reestructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the second quarter of 2012, the impairment was charged off. The exchange offer occurred in 12 March 2012.
The PSI is part of an European Union Euros 130,000,000,000 bailout package for Greece.
After the exchange, the Group sold almost all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI. As at 31 December 2012, as result of this exchange, there are Greek sovereign debt securities in the portfolio of Millennium Bank (Greece) in the amount of Euros 19,950,000 that are registered in the financial assets available for sale and held for trading portfolios.
As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the financial position of Millennium Bank (Greece) is as follows:

The Group performed a set of transactions of sale of financial assets (namely loans and advances to customers) for Funds specialized in the recovery of loans. These funds take the responsibility for management of the companies or assets received as collateral with the objective of ensuring a pro-active management through the implementation of plans to explore/increase the value of the companies/assets. The financial assets sold under these transactions are derecognized from the balance sheet of the Group, since the transactions result in the transfer to the Funds of a substantial portion of the risks and benefits associated with the assets as well as the control on the assets.
The specialized funds that acquire the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its investment throughout the useful life of the Fund.
These participation units are held by several banks, which are the sellers of the loans, in percentages that vary through the useful life of the Funds, ensuring however that, separately, none of the banks holds more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.
The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund.
The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities:
determine the objective of the Fund;
manage exclusively the Fund, determining the objectives and investment policy and the conduct in management and business of the Fund.
The management structure is remunerated through management commissions charged to the Funds.
These funds, in the majority of the transactions (in which the Group holds minority positions) establish companies under the Portuguese law in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior bonds. The value of the senior bonds fully subscribed by the Finds that hold the share capital of the companies match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties. These bonds are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.
The value of the junior bonds is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior bonds and the sale value.
These junior bonds, when subscribed by the Group, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior bonds plus it related interest.
However, considering that these junior bonds reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, the junior bonds are fully provided.

These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the market value, as disclosed by the Funds and audited at year end.
Within this context, not withholding control but maintaining an exposure to certain risks and rewards, the Group, in accordance with IAS 39.21 performed an analysis of the exposure to the variability of risks and rewards in the assets transferred, before and after the transaction, having concluded that it doesn't hold substantially all the risks and rewards.
Considering that it doesn't hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed the derecognition of the assets transferred under the scope of IAS 39.20 c (i) and the recognition of the assets received as follows:

Notes to the Individual Financial Statements 31 December, 2012
Banco Comercial Português, S.A. Sociedade Aberta (the 'Bank') is a public bank, established in Portugal in 1985. It started operations on 5 May, 1986, and these financial statements reflect the results of the operations of the Bank, for the years ended 31 December, 2012 and 2011.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 from the European Parliament and the Council, of 19 July 2002, Decree-Law no. 35/2005, of 17 February and Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Bank's financial statements are required to be prepared in accordance with "Normas de Contabilidade Ajustadas" (NCA's), issued by the Bank of Portugal, which are based in International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as endorsed by the European Union ('EU') since the year 2005, except regarding the issues defined at no.2 and no.3 of Regulation no.1/2005 and no.2 of Regulation 4/2005 from the Bank of Portugal. NCA's comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ('IFRIC') and their predecessor bodies, with the exception of the issues referred in no. 2 and 3 of Regulation no. 1/2005 and no. 2 of Regulation no. 4/2005 of Bank of Portugal: i) maintenance of the actual requirements related with measurement and provision of loans and advances to customers, ii) employee benefits through the definition of a deferral period for the transition impact to IAS 19 and iii) restriction to the application of some issues established in IAS/IFRS. The Bank's Executive Committee approved these financial statements on 6 May 2013. The financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
All the references in this document relate to any normative always report to current version.
The Bank's financial statements for the year ended 31 December, 2012 have been prepared in terms of recognition and measurement in accordance with the NCA's, established by the Bank of Portugal and in use in the period.
The Bank has adopted IFRS and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January, 2012, as mentioned in note 50.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the application of fair value for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (trading and fair value option) and available for sale assets, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available. Financial assets and liabilities that are hedged under hedge accounting are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is being hedged, if applicable. Other financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortised cost or historical cost. Noncurrent assets and disposal groups held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The liability for defined benefit obligations is recognised as the present value of the defined benefit obligation net of the value of the fund.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently for all periods presented in these financial statements.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with NCA's requires the Executive Committee to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The issues involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or where assumptions and estimates are considered to be significant are presented in note 1 ab).
Loans and advances to customers includes loans and advances originated by the Bank which are not intended to be sold in the short term and are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers.
The derecognition of these assets occurs in the following situations: (i) the contractual rights of the Bank have expired; or (ii) the Bank transferred substantially all the associated risks and rewards.
Loans and advances to customers are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs and fees and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses.
As referred in the accounting policy described in note 1 a), the Bank has prepared its financial statements in accordance with NCA's therefore, in accordance with no. 2 and 3 of Regulation no. 1/2005 from the Bank of Portugal, the Bank adopted the same requirements for measurement and provision of loans and advances to customers used in the previous years, described as follows:
The specific provision for loan losses is based on the appraisal of overdue loans including the related non overdue amounts and loans subject to restructuring, to cover specific credit risks. This provision is shown as a deduction against loans and advances to customers. The adequacy of this provision is reviewed regularly by the Bank, taking into consideration the existence of asset-backed guarantees, the overdue period and the current financial situation of the client.
The provision calculated under these terms, complies with the requirements established by the Bank of Portugal, in accordance with Regulations no. 3/95, of 30 June, no. 7/00, of 27 October and no. 8/03, of 30 January.
This provision is established to cover latent bad and doubtful debts which are present in any loan portfolio, including guarantees or signature credits, but which have not been specifically identified as such. This provision is recorded under provision for liabilities and charges.
The general provision for loan losses is in accordance with Regulation no. 3/95, of 30 June, Regulation no. 2/99, of 15 January and Regulation no. 8/03, of 30 January of the Bank of Portugal.
The provision for country risk is in accordance with Regulation no. 3/95, of 30 June from the Bank of Portugal, and is based on the Instruction no. 94/96, of 17 June, of the Bank of Portugal, including the adoption of changes made to paragraph 2.4 of the referred Instruction published in October 1998.
In accordance with "Carta-Circular" no. 15/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there is no realistic expectation, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralised loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals for the part of the loans which is collateralised is effectively received and, according to Regulation no. 3/95 of the Bank of Portugal, the class of delay associated with the failure determines an allowance of 100%, by using impairment losses.
(i) Classification, initial recognition and subsequent measurement
The financial assets and liabilities acquired or issued with the purpose of sale or re-acquisition on the short term, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares or that are part of a financial instruments portfolio and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking or that can be included in the definition of derivative (except in the case of a derivative classified as hedging) are classified as trading. The dividends associated to these portfolios are accounted in gains arising on trading and hedging activities.
Trading derivatives with a positive fair value are included in the Financial assets held for trading and the trading derivatives with negative fair value are included in the Financial liabilities held for trading.
The Bank has adopted the Fair Value Option for certain own bond issues, loans and time deposits that contain embedded derivatives or with related hedging derivatives. The variations of the Bank's credit risk related with financial liabilities accounted under the Fair Value Option are disclosed in Net gains / (losses) arising from trading and hedging activities.
The designation of the financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (Fair Value Option) by decision of the entity is performed whenever at least one of the requirements is fulfilled:
the assets and liabilities are managed, evaluated and reported internally at its fair value;
the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the accounting mismatch of the transactions;
The financial assets and liabilities at Fair Value Option are initially accounted at their fair value, with the expenses or income related to the transactions being recognised in profit and loss and subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss. The accrual of interest and premium/discount (when applicable) is recognised in Net interest income according with the effective interest rate of each transaction, as well as for the derivatives associated to financial instruments classified as Fair Value Option.
Financial assets available for sale held with the purpose of being maintained by the Bank, namely bonds, treasury bills or shares, are classified as available for sale, except if they are classified in another category of financial assets. The financial assets available for sale are initially accounted at fair value, including all expenses or income associated with the transactions. The financial assets available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in fair value are accounted for against fair value reserves until they are sold or an impairment loss exists. In the sale of the financial assets available for sale, the accumulated gains or losses recognised as fair value reserves are recognised under Net gains / (losses) arising from available for sale financial assets. Interest income from debt instruments is recognised in Net interest income based on the effective interest rate, including a premium or discount when applicable. Dividends are recognised in the income statement when the right to receive the dividends is attributed.
The financial assets held-to-maturity include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity, that the Bank has the intention and capacity to maintain until the maturity of the assets and that were not included in the category of financial assets at fair value through profit and loss or financial assets available for sale. These financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The interest is calculated using the effective interest rate method and recognised in Net interest income. The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
Any reclassification or sale of financial assets included in this category that does not occur close to the maturity of the assets will require the Bank to reclassify the entire portfolio as Financial assets available for sale and the Bank will not be allowed to classify any assets under this category for the following two years.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments, that are not quoted in a market and which the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in a near future, may be classified in this category.
In addition to loans granted, the Bank recognises in this category unquoted bonds and commercial paper. The financial assets recognised in this category are initially accounted at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost net of impairment. The incremental direct transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate for these financial instruments. The interest accounted based on the effective interest rate method are recognised in Net interest income.
The impairment losses are recognised in profit and loss when identified.
The other financial liabilities are all financial liabilities that are not recognised as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss. This category includes money market transactions, deposits from customers and from other financial institutions, issued debt, and other transactions.
These financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. The related transaction costs are included in the effective interest rate. The interest calculated at the effective interest rate is recognised in Net interest income.
The financial gains or losses calculated at the time of the repurchase of other financial liabilities are recognised as Net gains/(losses) arising from trading and hedging activities when occurred.
At each balance sheet date, an assessement of the existence of objective evidence of impairment, is made. A financial asset or group of financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence of impairment resulting from one or more events that occurred after its initial recognition, such as: (i) for listed securities, a prolonged devaluation or a significant decrease in its quotation price, and (ii) for unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be estimated reasonably. According to the Bank's policies, a 30% depreciation in the fair value of an equity instrument is considered a significant devaluation and the 1year period is assumed to be a prolonged decrease in the fair value below the acquisition cost.
If an available for sale asset is determined to be impaired, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss) is removed from fair value reserves and recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurred after the impairment loss was recognised in the profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the income statement. Recovery of impairment losses on equity instruments classified as financial assets available for sale, is recognised as a gain in fair value reserves when it occurs (if there are no reversal in the income statement).
Embedded derivatives should be accounted for separately as derivatives if the economic risks and benefits of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the host contract, unless the hybrid (combined) instrument is not initially measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss. Embedded derivatives are classified as trading and recognised at fair value with changes through profit and loss.
The Bank designates derivatives and non-financial instruments to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risk, resulting from financing and investment activities. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative hedging instruments are stated at fair value and gains and losses on re-measurement are recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Bank. A hedge relationship exists when:
the hedge is valuable in a continuous basis and highly effective throughout the reporting period; and
for hedges of a forecasted transaction, the transaction is highly probable and presents an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
When a derivative financial instrument is used to hedge foreign exchange arising from monetary assets or liabilities, no hedge accounting model is applied. Any gain or loss associated to the derivative and to changes in foreign exchange risk related with the monetary items is recognised through profit and loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedge instruments are recognised in profit and loss, together with changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the asset or liability or group of assets and liabilities. If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gains and losses recognised until the discontinuance of the hedge accounting are amortised through profit and loss over the residual period of the hedged item.
In a hedge relationship, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in equity - cash flow hedge reserves. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognised in profit and loss when occurred.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit and loss in the periods in which the hedged item will affect profit or loss.
In case of hedging variability of cash-flows, when the hedge instrument expires or is disposed or when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or when the hedge relation is revoked, the hedge relationship is discontinued on a prospective basis. Therefore, the fair value changes of the derivative accumulated in equity until the date of the discontinued hedge accounting can be:
Deferred over the residual period of the hedged instrument; or
Recognised immediately in results, if the hedged instrument is extinguished.
In the case of a discontinued hedge of a forecast transaction, the change in fair value of the derivative recognised in equity at that time remains in equity until the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to profit and loss.
For a hedge relationship to be classified as such according to IAS 39, effectiveness has to be demonstrated. As such, the Bank performs prospective tests at the beginning date of the initial hedge, if applicable and retrospective tests in order to demonstrate at each reporting period the effectiveness of the hedging relationships, showing that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are hedged by the changes in the hedged item for the risk being covered. Any ineffectiveness is recognised immediately in profit and loss when incurred.
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is immediately recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity related to the investment in a foreign operation and to the associated hedge operation are included in the income statement on the disposal of the foreign operation as part of the gain or loss from the disposal.
In October 2008, the IASB issued a change to IAS 39 – Reclassification of Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments Disclosures). This change allowed an entity to transfer Financial assets from Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss – trading to Financial assets available for sale, to Loans and Receivables - Loans represented by securities or to financial assets held-tomaturity, as long as the requirements described in the Standard are met, namely:
The Bank adopted this possibility for a group of financial assets, as disclosed in note 21.
Transfer of financial assets recognised in the category of Financial assets available-for-sale to Loans and receivables - Loans represented by securities and Financial assets held-to-maturity are permitted.
Transfers from and to Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss by decision of the entity ("Fair value option") are prohibited.
The Bank derecognises financial assets when all rights to future cash flows have expired. In a transfer of assets, derecognition can only occur either when risks and rewards have been substantially transferred or the Bank does not maintain control over the assets.
The Bank derecognises financial liabilities when these are discharged, cancelled or extinguished.
An instrument is classified as an equity instrument when there is no contractual obligation at settlement to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, independently from its legal form, showing a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Transaction costs directly attributable to an equity instruments' issuance are recognised in equity as a deduction to the amount issued. Amounts paid or received related to sales or acquisitions of equity instruments are recognised in equity, net of transaction costs.
Preference shares issued by the Bank are considered as an equity instrument when redemption of the shares is solely at the discretion of the issuer and dividends are paid at the discretion of the Bank.
Income from equity instruments (dividends) are recognised when the right to receive this income is established and are deducted to equity.
Financial instruments that contain both a liability and an equity component (example: convertible bonds) are classified as compound financial instruments. For those instruments to be considered as compound financial instruments, the terms of its conversion to ordinary shares (number of shares) can not change with changes in its fair value. The financial liability component corresponds to the present value of the future interest and principal payments, discounted at the market interest rate applicable to similar financial liabilities that do not have a conversion option. The equity component corresponds to the difference between the proceeds of the issue and the amount attributed to the financial liability. Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost through the effective interest rate method. The interests are recognised in Net interest income.
Securities lent under securities lending arrangements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are measured in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. Cash collateral received in respect of securities lent is recognised as a financial liability. Securities borrowed under securities borrowing agreements are not recognised. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under loans and advances to either banks or customers. Income and expenses arising from the securities borrowing and lending business are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in interest income or expense (net interest income).
The Bank performs acquisition/sale of securities under reselling/repurchase agreements of securities substantially equivalent in a future date at a predetermined price ('repos'/'reverse repos'). The securities related to reselling agreements in a future date are not be recognised on the balance sheet. The amounts paid are recognised in loans and advances to customers or loans and advances to credit institutions. The receivables are collateralised by the related securities. Securities sold through repurchase agreements continue to be recognised in the balance sheet and are revaluated in accordance with the applicable accounting policy. The amounts received from the proceeds of these securities are considered as deposits from customers and deposits from credit institutions.
The difference between the acquisition/sale and reselling/repurchase conditions is recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transaction and is included in interest income or expenses.
Investments in subsidiaries and associated are accounted for in the Bank's individual financial statements at its historical cost less any impairment losses.
The recoverable amount of the goodwill in subsidiaries is assessed annually, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are are calculated based on the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries and associated and their book value. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher between the assets value in use and the market value deducted of selling costs, calculated using valuation methodologies supported by discounted cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, the time value of money and the business risks.
Non current assets, groups of non-current assets held for sale (groups of assets together and related liabilities that include at least a non current asset) and discontinued operations are classified as held for sale when it is intention to sell the referred assets and liabilities, the referred assets are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
The Bank also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or groups of assets acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, that are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is performed in accordance with the applicable IFRS. After their reclassification, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their cost and fair value less costs to sell.
Discontinued operations and the subsidiaries acquired exclusively with the purpose to sell in the short term, are consolidated until the disposal.
The Bank also classifies as non-current assets held for sale the investments arising from recovered loans that are measured initially by the lower of its fair value net of expenses and the loan's carrying amount on the date that the recovery occurs or the judicial decision is formalised.
The fair value is determined based on the expected selling price estimated through periodic valuations performed by the Bank.
The subsequent accounting of these assets is determined based on the lower of the carrying amount and the corresponding fair value net of expenses. In case of unrealized losses, these should be recognised as impairment losses against results.
At the lessee's perspective, finance lease transactions are recorded as an asset and liability at fair value of the leased asset, which is equivalent to the present value of the future lease payments. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial charge and the amortisation of the capital outstanding. The financial charge is allocated to the periods during the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining liability balance for each period.
At the lessor's perspective, assets held under finance leases are recorded in the balance sheet as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Lease rentals are a combination of the financial income and amortization of the capital outstanding. Recognition of the financial result reflects a constant periodical return rate over the remaining net investment of the lessor.
Interest income and expense for financial instruments measured at amortised cost are recognised in the interest income or expenses (net interest income) through the effective interest rate method. The interest related to financial assets available for sale calculated at the effective interest rate method are also recognised on the net interest income as well as those from assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or, when appropriate, for a shorter period), to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.
When calculating the effective interest rate, the Bank estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (example: early payment options) but without considering future impairment losses. The calculation includes all fees paid or received considered as included in the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts directly related with the transaction except for assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss.
If a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been written down as a result of an impairment loss, interest income is recognised using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss.
Specifically regarding the accounting policy for interest on overdue loans' portfolio the following aspects are considered:
For derivative financial instruments, except those classified as hedging instruments of interest rate risk, the interest component is not separated from the changes in the fair value and is classified under Net gains / (losses) from trading and hedging activities. For hedging derivatives of interest rate risk and those related to financial assets or financial liabilities recognised in the Fair Value Option category, the interest component of the changes in their fair value is recognised under interest income or expense (Net interest income).
Fees and commissions are recognised according to the following criteria:
Fees and commissions that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial instrument, are recognised in Net interest income.
o) Financial results (Results arising from trading and hedging activities and available for sale financial assets)
Financial results includes gains and losses arising from financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, that is, fair value changes and interest on trading derivatives and embedded derivatives, as well as the corresponding dividends received. This caption also includes gains and losses arising from the sale of available for sale financial assets. The changes in fair value of hedging derivatives and hedged items, when fair value hedge is applicable, are also recognised in this caption.
Assets held in the scope of fiduciary activities are not recognised in the Bank's financial statements. Fees and commissions arising from this activity are recognised in the income statement in the year to which they relate.
Property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Subsequent costs are recognised as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits will result for the Bank. All other repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The Bank performs impairment testing whenever events or circumstances indicate that the book value exceeds the highest between the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell, being the difference charged to the profit and loss.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the following periods which correspond to their estimated useful life:
| Number of years | ||
|---|---|---|
| Premises | 50 | |
| Expenditure on freehold and leasehold buildings | 10 | |
| Equipment | 4 to 12 | |
| Other fixed assets | 3 |
Whenever there is an indication that a fixed tangible asset might be impaired, its recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss shall be recognised if the net value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount is determined as the highest between the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use calculated based on the present value of future cash-flows estimated to be obtained from the continued use of the asset and its sale at the end of the useful life.
The impairment losses of the fixed tangible assets are recognised in profit and loss.
Research and development expenditure
The Bank does not capitalize any research and development costs. All expenses are recognised as costs in the year in which they occur.
Software
The Bank accounts as intangible assets the costs associated to software acquired from external entities and depreciates them on a straight line basis by an estimated lifetime of three years. The Bank does not capitalize internal costs arising from software development.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances with less than three months' maturity from the balance sheet date, including cash and deposits with banks.
Cash and cash equivalents exclude restricted balances with Central Banks.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the Bank has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and the transactions are intended to be settled on a net basis.
u) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the profit and loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are stated at historical cost, are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated into the respective functional currency of the operation at the foreign exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined against profit and loss, except for financial assets available-for-sale, for which the difference is recognised against equity.
The Bank has the responsibility to pay to their employees retirement pensions and widow and orphan benefits and permanent disability pensions, in accordance with the agreement entered with the collective labour arrangements. These benefits are estimated in the pensions plans 'Plano ACT' and 'Plano ACTQ' of the Pension Plan of BCP Group, which corresponds to the referred collective labour arrangements (the conditions are estimated in the private social security of the banking sector for the constitution of the right to receive a pension).
Until 2011, along with the benefits provided in two planes above, the Bank had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan). The Bank at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP ( Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change benefit plan of the Bank with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, having been assigned to the employees, individual rights acquired. On that date, the Bank also proceed to the settlement of the related liability.
From 1 January 2011, banks' employees were integrated in the General Social Security Scheme which now covers their maternity, paternity, adoption and pension benefits. However, the Banks remain liable for those benefits as concern illness, disability and life insurance (Decree-Law no. 1-A/2011, of 3 January).
The contributory rate is 26.6% divided between 23.6% supported by the employer and 3% supported by the employees, replacing the Banking Social Healthcare System ('Caixa de Abono de Família dos Empregados Bancários') which was extinguished by the decree law referred above. As a consequence of this amendment the capability to receive pensions by the actual employees are covered by the General Social Security Scheme regime, considering the service period between 1 January 2011 and the retirement age. The Bank supports the remaining difference for the total pension assured in 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho'.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which was published on 31 December, was established an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions in order to transfer, to the Social Security, the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, as at 31 December 2011.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred related to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continued to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also established the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
The calculation is made using the projected unit credit method and following actuarial and financial assumptions in line with the parameters required by IAS 19. In accordance with no. 2 of Regulation no. 4/2005 from the Bank of Portugal was established a deferral period for the transition impact to IAS 19 as at 1 January 2005 analysed as follows:
| Balances | Deferral period |
|---|---|
| Obligations with healthcare benefits and other liabilities | 10 years |
| Liabilities for death before retirement | 8 years |
| Early retirement | 8 years |
| Actuarial losses charged-off related with early retirement | 8 years |
| Increase of deferred actuarial losses | 8 years |
| Reversal of amortization of actuarial losses in accordance with local GAAP | 8 years |
In accordance with Regulation no. 7/2008 from the Bank of Portugal concerning the balances listed in the table above, an additional period of three years was authorised considering the inittially defined deferral period.
The Bank's net obligation in respect of pension plans and other benefits (defined benefit pensions plan) is calculated on a half year basis at 31 December and 30 June of each year.
The current services cost plus the interest cost on the unwinding of the Pension liabilities less the expected return on the Plan assets are recorded in operational costs.
The Bank's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The benefit is discounted in order to determine its present value, using a discount rate determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Bank's obligations. The net obligations are determined after the deduction of the fair value of the assets of the Pension Plan.
Employee benefits, other than pension plans, namely post retirement health care benefits and benefits for the spouse and sons for death before retirement are also included in the benefit plan calculation.
Costs arising from early retirements are recognised in the income statement on the year in which the early retirement is approved and announced.
Gains and losses for the year are recognised against reserves in the year they occur.
The contributions to the funds are made annually by the Bank according to a certain plan contributions to ensure the solvency of the fund. The minimum level required for the funding is 100% regarding the pension payments and 95% regarding the past services of active employees.
For Defined Contribution Plan, the responsibilities related to the benefits attributed to the Bank's employees are recognised as expenses when incurred.
As at 31 December 2012, the Bank has two defined contribution plans. One plan that covers employees who were hired before July 1, 2009. For this plan, called non-contributory, Bank's contributions will be made annually and equal to 1% of the annual remuneration paid to employees in the previous year. Contributions shall only be made if the following requirements are met: (i) the Bank's ROE equals or exceeds the rate of government bonds of 10 years plus 5 percentage points, and (ii) exist distributable profits or reserves in the accounts of Banco Comercial Português.
The other plan covers employees who have been hired after July 1, 2009. For this plan, designated contributory, monthly contributions will be made equal to 1.5% of the monthly remuneration received by employees in the current month, either by themselves or by the Bank and employees.
As at 31 December 2012 there are no share based compensation plans in force.
Variable remuneration paid to employees
The Executive Committee decides on the most appropriate criteria of allocation among employees.
This variable remuneration is charged to income statement in the year to which it relates.
The Bank is subject to the regime established by the Income Tax Code ("IRC"). Additionally, deferred taxes resulting from the temporary differences between the accounting net income and the net income accepted by the Tax Authorities for Income Taxes calculation, are accounted for, whenever there is a reasonable probability that those taxes will be paid or recovered in the future.
Income tax registered in net income for the year comprises current and deferred tax effects. Income tax is recognised in the income statement, except when related to items recognised directly in equity, which implies its recognition in equity. Deferred taxes arising from the revaluation of financial assets available for sale and cash flow hedging derivatives are recognised in shareholders' equity and are recognised after in the income statement at the moment the profit and loss that originated the deferred taxes are recognised.
Current tax is the value that determines the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred taxes are calculated in accordance with the liability method based on the balance sheet, considering temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for taxation purposes using the tax rates approved or substantially approved at balance sheet date and that is expected to be applied when the temporary difference is reversed.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except for goodwill, not deductible for tax purposes, differences arising on initial recognition of assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that probably they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred taxes assets are recognised to the extent when it is probable that future taxable profits, will be available to absorb deductible temporary differences for taxation purposes (including reportable taxable losses).
The Bank as established in IAS 12, paragraph 74, compensates the deferred tax assets and liabilities if, and only if: (i) has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
The Group adopted the IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the purpose of disclosure financial information by operating segments. A business segment is a group of assets and operations that are subject to risks and returns different from other business segments. The results of the operating segments are periodically reviewed by the management with the aim of taking decisions. The Group prepares regular financial information concerning these segments, which is reported to Management. A geographical segment is a group of assets and operations located within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
Taking into consideration that the individual financial statements are present with the Group's report, in accordance with the paragraph 4 of IFRS 8, the Bank is dismissed to present individual information regarding Segmental Reporting.
Provisions are recognised when (i) the Bank has a present obligation (legal or resulting from past practices or published policies that imply the recognition of certain responsibilities), (ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and (iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
On the cases that the discont efect is material, provion correspondes to atual value of the espected future payments, disconted by a rate that consideres the associated risk of the obligation.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate, being reverted through profit and loss in the proportion of the payments that are not probable.
The provisions are derecognised through their use for the obligations for which they were initially accounted or for the cases that the situations were not already observed.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders of the Bank by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Bank and held as treasury stock.
For the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding is adjusted to consider conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible debt and stock options granted to employees. Potential or contingent share issues are treated as dilutive when their conversion to shares would decrease net earnings per share.
If the earnings per share are changed as a result of an issue with premium or discount or other event that changed the potential number of ordinary shares or as a result of changes in the accounting policies, the earnings per share for all presented periods should be adjusted retrospectively.
The Banco Comercial Português and Banco ActivoBank are entities authorized by the Insurance Institute of Portugal to practice the activity of insurance mediation in the category of Online Insurance Broker, in accordance with Article 8., Paragraph a), point i) of Decree-Law n. º 144/2006, of July 31, developing the activity of insurance intermediation in life and non-life.
Within the insurance mediation services, the banks perform the sale of insurance contracts. As compensation for services rendered for insurance mediation, the Banks receive commissions for arranging contracts of insurance and investment contracts, which are defined in the agreements / protocols established between the Banks and the Insurance Companies.
Commissions received by insurance mediation are recognised in accordance with the principle of accrual, so the commissions which payment occurs at different time period to which it relates, are subject to registration as an amount receivable under Other Assets.
IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments and require the Executive Board of Directors and management to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate. The most significant of these accounting policies are discussed in this section in order to improve understanding of how their application affects the Bank's reported results and related disclosure.
Considering that in some cases there are several alternatives to the accounting treatment chosen by management, the Bank's reported results would differ if a different treatment was chosen. Management believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statements present the Bank's financial position and results fairly in all material aspects.
The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statements and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate.
The Bank determines that available-for-sale equity investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decrease in the fair value below its acquisition cost. This determination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates among other factors, the volatility in the prices of the financial assets.
In addition, valuations are generally obtained through market quotation or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Bank.
The Bank reviews its loan portfolios to assess impairment losses on a regularly basis, as described in Note 1 b).
The evaluation process in determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement is subject to numerous estimates and judgments. The probability of default, risk ratings, value of associated collaterals recovery rates and the estimation of both the amount and timing of future cash flows, among other things, are considered in making this evaluation.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a different level of impairment losses with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Bank.
Fair values are based on listed market prices if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer price quotations (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curve and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating their values.
Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model could result in different financial results for a particular period.
The Bank follows the guidance of IAS 39 on classifying non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity as held-tomaturity. This classification requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Bank evaluates its intention and ability to hold such investments to maturity.
If the Bank fails to keep these investments to maturity other than for the specific circumstances — for example, selling an insignificant amount close to maturity — it will be required to reclassify the entire class as available-for-sale. The investments would therefore be measured at fair value instead of amortised cost.
Held-to-maturity investments are subject to impairment tests made by the Bank. The use of different assumptions and estimates could have an impact on the income statement of the Bank.
The Bank assesses annually the recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries and associates, regardless the existence of any impairment triggers. Impairment losses are are calculated based on the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries and associated and their book value. Impairment losses identified are charged against results and subsequently, if there is a reduction of the estimated impairment loss, the charge is reversed, in a subsequent period.
The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher between the assets value in use and the market value deducted of selling costs, calculated using valuation methodologies supported by discounted cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, the time value of money and the business risks, that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the consolidated income statement of the Bank.
The Bank sponsors the formation of SPE primarily for asset securitization transactions for liquidity purposes and/or capital management.
Therefore, the securitization operations Nova Finance no. 4, Caravela SME no. 2 and Tagus Leasing no. 1 were not derecognised in the Bank's financial statements.
The Bank derecognised the following SPE which also resulted from operations of securitization: Magellan Mortgages no. 1, 2, 3 and 4. For these SPE, the Bank concluded that the main risks and the benefits were transferred, as the Bank does not hold detain any security issued by the SPE, that are exposed to the majority of the residual risks, neither is exposed to the performance of the credit portfolios.The Bank subsequently purchased the residual securities from Magellan Mortgages No. 2 and 3, which involves the consolidation of these vehicles in the consolidated accounts.
Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the worldwide amount for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.
Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the year.
The Portuguese Tax Authorities are entitled to review the Bank and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a period of four years or six years in case there are tax losses brought forward. Hence, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law which for its probability, the Executive Board of Directors considers that there is no relevant material effect at the level of the Financial Statements.
Determining pension liabilities requires the use of assumptions and estimates, including the use of actuarial projections, estimated returns on investment, and other factors that could impact the cost and liability of the pension plan.
Changes in these assumptions could materially affect these values.
31 December, 2012
IFRS requires separate disclosure of net interest income and net gains from trading, hedging and available for sale activities, as presented in notes 3, 6 and 7. A particular business activity can generate impact in net interest income and net gains arising from trading, hedging and AFS activities. This disclosure requirement demonstrates the contribution of the different business activities for the net interest margin and net gains from trading, hedging and AFS activities.

In compliance with the accounting policy described in note 1 b), loans and advances to customers are charged-off when there are no feasable expectations, from an economic perspective, of recovering the loan amount. For collateralized loans, the charge-off occurs for the unrecoverable amount when the funds arising from the execution of the respective collaterals are effectively received. This charge-off is carried out only for loans that are considered not to be recoverable and fully provided.

The Bank recognises impairment on financial assets available for sale when there is a significant or prolonged decrease in its fair value or when there is an impact on expected future cash flows of the assets. This assessment involves judgement, in which the Bank takes into consideration among other factors, the volatility of the prices of securities.
Thus, as a consequence of the low liquidity and significant volatility in financial markets, the following factors were taken into consideration in determining the existence of impairment:
Equity instruments: (i) decreases of more than 30% against the purchase price; or (ii) the market value below the purchase price for a period exceeding 12 months;
Debt instruments: when there is objective evidence of events with impact on the recoverable value of future cash flows of these assets.

Hedging derivatives are measured in accordance with internal valuation techniques considering mainly observable market inputs. In accordance with the hierarchy of the valuation sources, as referred in IFRS 7 these derivatives are classified in level 2.
The Bank uses derivatives to hedge interest and exchange rate exposure risks. The accounting method depends on the nature of the hedged risk, namely if the Bank is exposed to fair value changes, variability in cash-flows or highly probable forecasted transactions.
The Bank, for the hedging relationships which comply with the hedging requirements of IAS 39, adopts the hedge accounting method, namely through the fair value hedge model, and holds in its derivatives portfolio mainly interest rate swaps, which are hedging fair value changes in interest rate risk of debt securities issued, deposits and loans with fixed rate.
The Bank performs periodical effectiveness tests of the hedging relationships. For this year a negative amount of Euros 24,848,000 (31 December 2011: positive amount of Euros 25,181,000) was recorded against the results, corresponding to the ineffective part of the fair value hedge relationships.

The balance Financial assets held to maturity includes, as at 31 December 2012, the amount of Euros 1,202,491,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 1,413,245,000) related to non derivatives financial assets (bonds) reclassified in 2010 from Financial assets held for trading caption to Financial assets held to maturity caption, as referred in the accounting policy note 1 e) and note 21.
The balance Financial assets held to maturity also includes, as at 31 December 2012, the amount of Euros 547,811,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 578,799,000) related to non derivatives financial assets (bonds) reclassified, in 2010, from Financial assets available for sale caption to Financial assets held to maturity caption, as referred in the accounting policy note 1 e) and note 21.

| Balance on 31 December | - | 358,277 |
As at 31 December 2011, the balance of Impairment for securities corresponded to the impairment recognised on Greek sovereign debt, considering the European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece, which contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implied that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.
Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector ('PSI'), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.
Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, the fair value corresponded as at 31 December 2011 to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. Following the reestructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the second quarter of 2012, the impairment was charged off. The exchange offer occurred in 12 March 2012.
The PSI is part of an European Union Euros 130,000,000,000 bailout package for Greece.
After the exchange, the Bank sold all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt arising from the PSI.

The assets included in this balance are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy note 1 k).
The balance Subsidiaries acquired exclusively with the purpose of a short-term sale corresponds to two real estate companies acquired by the Bank within the restructuring of a loan exposure, that the Bank intends to sell in less than one year. However, taking into account the actual market conditions, it was not possible to conclude the sales in the expected time.
The balance Investments, properties and other assets arising from recovered loans includes assets resulting from (i) foreclosure, with an option to repurchase or leaseback, which are accounted following the establishment of the contract or the promise of contract and the respective irrevocable power of attorney issued by the client on behalf of the Bank, or (ii) judicial foreclosure as a result of the judicial process of execution of collaterals, accounted for with the title of adjudication or following the adjudication request after the record of the first pledge.
These assets are available for sale in a period less than one year and the Bank has a strategy for its sale. However, taking into account the actual market conditions, it is not possible in all instances to conclude the sales in the expected time.

Prices are periodically reviewed and adjusted for continuous adaptation to the market.

The guarantees granted by the Bank may be related with loan transactions, where the Bank grants a guarantee in connection with a loan granted to a client by a third entity. According with its specific characteristics it is expected that some of these guarantees expire without being executed and therefore these transactions do not necessarily represent a cash-outflow.
Stand-by letters and open documentary credits aim to ensure the payment to third parties from commercial deals with foreign entities and therefore financing the shipment of the goods. Therefore the credit risk of these transactions is limited once they are collateralised by the shipped goods and are generally short term operations.
Irrevocable commitments are non-used parts of credit facilities granted to corporate or retail customers. Many of these transactions have a fixed term and a variable interest rate and therefore the credit and interest rate risk is limited.
The financial instruments accounted as Guarantees and other commitments are subject to the same approval and control procedures applied to the credit portfolio, namely regarding the analysis of objective evidence of impairment, as described in note 1 b). The maximum credit exposure is represented by the nominal value that could be lost related to guarantees and commitments undertaken by the Bank in the event of default by the respective counterparties, without considering potential recoveries or collaterals.
Considering their nature, as described above, no material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.
The Bank provides custody, trustee, corporate administration, investment management and advisory services to third parties, which involve the Bank making allocation and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. For certain services are set objectives and levels of return for assets under management and custody. Those assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in the financial statements.

Consequently, the Bank's share capital was, as at 30 June 2012, of Euros 3,000,000,000, represented by 7,207,167,060 represented by 7,207,167,060 nominate and ordinary shares without nominal value.
During the first semester of 2012, the Bank started an offer of repurchase of debt for holders of Magellan Mortgages No. 2 plc and Magellan Mortgages No. 3 plc securities and Floating Rate Notes issued by Banco Comercial Portuguese S.A., with repayment in May 2014. The offer is included in the set of initiatives undertaken by the Bank pursuant its liability and capital management strategy. On this basis, it was repurchased Euros 486,981,371 of the nominal of these operations.
As at 23 March 2012, the Bank concluded the offer to repurchase the covered bonds listed below, issued by the Bank:
The Bank accepted all of the orders given by the investors which amounted to Euros 918,650,000 (nominal value). The following table sets out the amounts tendered and accepted for each issue:
"OH2017" - Euros 467,500,000, corresponding to 9,350 covered bonds;
"OH2014" Euros 129,150,000, corresponding to 2,583 covered bonds;
The purpose of the offer was to proactively manage the Bank's outstanding liability and capital structure.
Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, as occurs regarding many products sold to clients, fair value is estimated through internal models based on cash-flow discounting techniques. Cash-flows for the different instruments sold are calculated according with its financial characteristics and the discount rates used include both the interest rate curve and the current conditions of the pricing policy in the Bank.
Therefore, the fair value obtained is influenced by the parameters used in the evaluation model that, have some degree of judgment and reflect exclusively the value attributed to different financial instruments. However it does not consider prospective factors, as the future business evolution. Therefore the values presented cannot be understood as an estimate of the economic value of the Bank.
The main methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair value for the financial assets and financial liabilities of the Bank are presented as follows:
Cash and deposits at central banks, Loans and advances to credit institutions repayable on demand
Considering the short term of these financial instruments, the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
Loans and advances to credit institutions, Deposits from credit institutions and Assets with repurchase agreements
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the installments occur in the contractually defined dates.
For Deposits from Central Banks it was considered that the book value is a reasonable estimate of its fair value, given the nature of operations and the associated short-term. The rate of return of funding with the European Central Bank was 0.75% as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2011: 1%).
Regarding loans and advances to credit institutions and deposits from credit institutions, the discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank on identical instruments for each of the different residual maturities. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year). As at 31 December 2012, the average discount rate was 2.27% for loans and advances and 2.80% for deposits. As at 31 December 2011 the rates were 3.20% and 3.08%, respectively.
These financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
Market interest rates are determined based on information released by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically as a result of prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from similar sources but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The same interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
When optionality is involved, the standard templates (Black-Scholes, Black, Ho and others) are used considering the volatility areas applicable. Whenever there are no references in the market of sufficient quality or that the available models do not fully apply to meet the characteristics of the financial instrument, specific quotations supplied by an external entity are applied, typically a counterparty of the business.
These financial instruments are accounted at amortised cost net of impairment. Fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted for factors associated, predominantly the credit risk and liquidity risk, determined in accordance with the market conditions and time frame.
In case of derivative contracts that are quoted in organised markets their market prices are used. As for derivatives traded "Over-the-counter", it is applied methods based on numerical cash-flow discounting techniques and models for assessment of options considering variables of the market, particularly the interest rates on the instruments in question, and where necessary, their volatilities.
Interest rates are determined based on information disseminated by the suppliers of financial content - Reuters and Bloomberg - more specifically those resulting from prices of interest rate swaps. The values for the very short-term rates are obtained from a similar source but regarding interbank money market. The interest rate curve obtained is calibrated with the values of interest rate short-term futures. Interest rates for specific periods of the cash flows are determined by appropriate interpolation methods. The interest rate curves are used in the projection of the non-deterministic cash flows such as indexes.
The fair value of these instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows for these instruments, considering that the payments of the installments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank in similar instruments for each of the homogeneous classes of this type of instrument and with similar residual maturity. The discount rate includes the market rates for the residual maturity date (rates from the monetary market or from the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread used at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the forth quarter of 2012. The average discount rate was 4.89% as at 31 December 2012 and 6.29% as at 31 December 2011, assuming the projection of the variable rates according to the evolution of the forward rates implicit in the interest rate curves. The calculations also include the credit risk spread.
Loans and advances to customers and deposits repayable on demand without defined maturity date
Considering the short maturity of these financial instruments, the conditions of the portfolio are similar to conditions used at the date of the report. Therefore the amount in the balance sheet is a reasonable estimate of its fair value.
The fair value of these financial instruments is calculated by discounting the expected principal and interest future cash flows, considering that payments occur in the contractually defined dates. The discount rate used reflects the current conditions applied by the Bank in similar instruments with a similar maturity. The discount rate used reflects the actual rates of the Bank to this type of funds and with similar residual maturity date. The discount rate includes the market rates of the residual maturity date (rates of monetary market or the interest rate swap market, at the end of the year) and the spread of the Bank at the date of the report, which was calculated from the average production of the last quarter of 2012. For 31 December 2012, the average discount rate was 2.82% and for December 2011 was 4.73%.
For these financial instruments the fair value was calculated for components for which fair value is not yet reflected in the balance sheet. Fixed rate instruments for which the Bank adopts "hedge-accounting", the fair value related to the interest rate risk is already recognised.
For the fair value calculation, other components of risk were considered, in addition to the interest rate risk already recorded. The fair value is based on market prices, whenever these are available. If market prices are not available, fair value is estimated through numerical models based on cash-flow discounting techniques, using the interest rate curve adjusted by associated factors, predominantly the credit risk and trading margin, the latter only in the case of issues placed for non-institutional customers of the Bank.
As original reference, the Bank applies the curves resulting from the market interest rate swaps for each specific currency. The credit risk (credit spread) is represented by an excess from the curve of interest rate swaps established specifically for each term and class of instruments based on the market prices on equivalent instruments.
For own debts placed among non institutional costumers of the Bank, one more differential was added (commercial spread), which represents the margin between the financing cost in the institutional market and the cost obtained by distributing the respective instrument in the owned commercial network.
The average reference yield curve obtained from market prices in EUR and used in the calculation of the fair value of own securities was 10.83% (31 December, 2011: 20.66%) for subordinated debt placed on the institutional market not considering the CoCo's issue. This issue, as referred in note 36, corresponds to a subordinated liability totally acquired by the State, issued at 29 June 2012, and therefore the fair value corresponds to the accounting balance. Regarding the subordinated issues placed on the retail market it was determined a discount rate of 12.21% (31 December, 2011: 13.20%). The average discount rate calculated for senior issues (including the Government guaranteed and asset-backed) was 4.12% (31 December 2011: 5.24%) and 4.12% (31 December, 2011: 5.24%) for senior and collateralised securities placed on the retail market.
For debt securities, the fair value calculation focused on all the components of these instruments, as a result the difference determined as at 31 December 2012 was a positive amount of Euros 75,367,000 (31 December 2011: a negative amount of Euros 2,037,030,000), and includes a receivable amount of Euros 661,000 (31 December 2011: a receivable amount of Euros 11,494,000) which reflects the fair value of embedded derivatives and are recorded in financial assets and liabilities held for trading.

The Bank assumed the liability to pay to their employees pensions on retirement or disability and other obligations. These liabilities comply with the terms of the 'Acordo Colectivo de Trabalho do Grupo BCP'. The Bank's pension obligations and other liabilities are mainly covered through the Banco Comercial Português Pension Fund managed by PensõesGere - Sociedade Gestora de Fundo de Pensões, S.A.
Following the approval by the Government of the Decree-Law no. 127/2011, which was published on 31 December, an agreement between the Government, the Portuguese Banking Association and the Banking Labour Unions was established that regulated the transfer of the liabilities related with pensions currently being paid to pensioners and retirees, to the Social Security.
This agreement established that the responsibilities to be transferred relate to the pensions in payment as at 31 December 2011 at fixed amounts (discount rate 0%) in the already component established in the 'Instrumento de Regulação Colectiva de Trabalho (IRCT)' of the retirees and pensioners. The responsibilities related with the increase in pensions as well as any other complements namely, contributions to the Health System (SAMS), death benefit and death before retirement benefit continue to be under the responsibility of the Financial Institutions and being financed through the corresponding Pensions funds. The Decree-Law also establishes the terms and conditions under which the transfer was made by setting a discount rate of 4% to determine the liabilities to be transferred.
As referred in note 1v), in addition to the benefits provided for in collective agreements, the bank had assumed the responsibility, under certain conditions in each year, of assigning a complementary plan to the Group's employees hired before 21 September, 2006 (Complementary Plan).
The Bank at the end of 2012 decided to extinguish ("cut") the benefit of old age of the Complementary Plan. As at 14 December 2012, the ISP (Portuguese Insurance Institute) formally approved this change in the benefit plan of the Group with effect from 1 January 2012. The cut of the plan was made, and the individual rights acquired were specifically assigned to the employees. On that date, the Bank also performed the settlement of the related liability, in the amount of Euros 230,045,000.
For accounting purposes and in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, as at 31 December, 2012, there was no impact of the change of plan considering that: (i) the present value of the liabilities had no changes, and (ii) despite the Bank has carried a settlement of the plan, the actuarial deviations associated with these liabilities had been recognised in reserves in 2011 following the change in accounting policy. Following the changes made, the Bank has no longer any financial or actuarial risk associated with liquidated liabilities.
As at 31 December 2012 and 2011 the number of participants in the Pension Fund of Banco Comercial Português covered by this pension plan and other benefits is analysed as follows:

The balances Projected benefit obligations and Value of the Pension Fund as at 31 December 2011 reflected the effect of the transfer of liabilities and assets of the Fund associated to retirees and pensioners to the Social Security, in the amount of Euros 2,754,061,000. The settlement of 55% of the transfer, in the amount of Euros 1,510,536,000 was performed before 31 December 2011. During 2012, the Fund transferred the remaining amount of Euros 1,243,525,000.
As at 31 December 2012, the balance Impact resulting from the change of the calculation of the Death Subsidy amounts to Euros 63,687,000 and arises from the change of method of calculation of the death subsidy, following the publication in 27 June 2012 of the Decree-Law no. 133/2012 which introduces the changes in the calculation of the amount of the subsidy.
In accordance with IAS 19, it is a negative past service cost which occurs when there are changes on the benefit plan, which impact in a reduction of the current value of the responsibilities for past services. On this basis, the gain should be deferred and amortised throughout the average vesting period. Considering that the acquisition conditions of the benefit are fulfilled (vested), since the pensioner has the right to the benefit without having to fulfill any service condition, the Bank accounted the referred impact in results for the year.
As at 31 December 2012, the value of the benefits paid by the Pension Fund, excluding the Extra-fund, amounted to Euros 42,579,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 284,150,000). As at 29 June 2012 the final amount related to the pensioners to GSSS, in accordance with the Decree-Law no. 127/2011 was transfered , which due to that change the population increased by Euros 7,142,000.
The liabilities with health benefits are fully covered by the Pension Fund and correspond, as at 31 December 2012, to the amount of Euros 263,123,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 250,235,000).
Regarding the coverage of some benefit obligations related to pensions, the Bank contracted with Ocidental Vida the acquisition of perpetual annuities for which the total liability as at 31 December 2012 amounts to Euros 86,231,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 90,236,000), in order to pay:
i) pensions of former Bank's Board Members in accordance with the Bank's Board Members Retirement Regulation.
ii) pensions and complementary pension to pensioners in accordance with the Pension Fund of the BCP Group employees established in 28 December 1987, as also to pensioners, in accordance with other Pension Funds, that were incorporated after on the BCP Group Pension Fund and which were planed that the retirement benefits should be paid through the acquisition of insurance policies, in accordance with the Decree - Law no. 12/2006. As at 31 December 2012 the number of beneficiaries was 60.
Ocidental Vida is 100% owned by Ageas Group and Ageas Group is 49% owned by the BCP Group.

The caption Costs arising from the transfer under Decree-Law no. 127/2011 refers as at 31 December 2011, to the impact in the income statement resulting from the transfer of the liabilities of the retirees and pensioners to the Social Security Scheme. The impact refers to the recalculation of the liabilities based on the assumptions defined by the Portuguese Government within the scope of the transfer.
As the Board Members Retirement Regulation establish that the pensions are increased annually, and as it is not common on the insurance market the acquisition of perpetual annuities including the increase in pensions, the Bank determined the liability to be recognised on the financial statements taking into consideration current actuarial assumptions.
In accordance with the remuneration policy of the Board Members, the Bank has the responsibility of supporting the cost with the retirement pensions of former Group's Executive Board Members, as well as the Complementary Plan for these members in accordance with the applicable rules, funded through the Pension Fund, Extra-fund and perpetual annuities.
To cover the update of contracted responsibilities through perpetual annuities policies, based on the actuarial calculations, the Group recognised a provision of Euros 4,413,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 5,504,000). As referred in notes 9 and 37, the decrease was the result of the write-down of provisions established to cover the future increases in the retirement pensions of the former members of the Executive Board of Directors, following the agreements established between the parties.
As referred in note 9, following the agreements established between the Bank and former members of the Executive Board of Directors the amount of Euros 18,900,000 related with amounts paid to set up a perpetual annuity policy to cover the responsibility with retirement pensions of former members of the Executive Board of Directors, were reimbursed by Ocidental Vida.
The movement of the amounts of the responsibilities with retirement pensions payable to former members of the Executive Board of Directors, included in the balance Other liabilities (note 37), is analysed as follows:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euros '000 | Euros '000 | |
| Balance as at 1 January | 5,504 | 40,996 |
| Write-back | (1,091) | (35,492) |
| Balance as at 31 December | 4,413 | 5,504 |
Considering the market indicators, particularly the estimations of the inflation rate and the long term interest rate for Euro Zone as well as the demographic characteristics of the employees, the Bank considered the following actuarial assumptions for the calculation of the liabilities with pension obligations with reference to 31 December 2012 and 2011:
| Banco Comercial Português Fund | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2011 | |||
| Increase in future compensation levels | 1.00% until 2016 | |||
| 1.75% after 2017 | 2.00% | |||
| 0.00% until 2016 | 1.00% | |||
| Rate of pensions increase | 0.75% after 2017 | |||
| Projected rate of return of fund assets | 4.5% | 5.5% | ||
| Discount rate | 4.5% | 5.5% | ||
| Mortality tables | ||||
| Men | TV 73/77 - 1 year | TV 73/77 - 1 year | ||
| Women | TV 88/90 - 2 years | TV 88/90 - 2 years | ||
| Disability rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||
| Turnover rate | 0.00% | 0.00% | ||
| Costs with health benefits increase rate | 6.5% | 6.5% |
The mortality tables consider an age inferior to the effective age of the beneficiaries, one year for men and two years for women, which is translated in higher average life expectancy.
The assumptions used on the calculation of the employees benefits are in accordance with the requirements of IAS 19. No disability decreases are considered in the calculation of the liabilities.
The determination of the discount rate as at 31 December 2012, took into account (i) the evolution in the major indexes in relation to high quality corporate bonds and (ii) duration of benefit plan liabilities.
The Bank face to (i) the positive deviations observed in the last financial year and (ii) the current trend of wages evolution and the economic situation at this time, led to a growth rate of wages progressive of 1% by 2016 and 1.75% from 2017 and a growth rate of pensions from 0% by 2016 and 0.75% from 2017.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 19, mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013, the rate of return on plan assets considered in the calculation of the present value of the liabilities, corresponds to the discount rate.
However, the estimated expected return for 2013 is as follows:
| 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portfolio % | Estimated return | |||
| Shares | 27.55% | 11.47% | ||
| Bonds and other fixed income securities | 20.16% | 3.50% | ||
| Participations units in investment funds | 11.10% | 5.08% | ||
| Participation units in real estate funds | 11.88% | 0.61% | ||
| Properties | 14.63% | 6.55% | ||
| Loans and advances to credit institutions and others | 14.67% | 3.50% | ||
| Total estimated return | 5.98% | |||
Net actuarial losses amounts to Euros 161,560,000 (31 December 2011: actuarial losses of Euros 202,854,000) and are related to the difference between the actuarial assumptions used for the estimation of the pension liabilities and the actual liabilities and are analysed as follows:

As at 31 December 2011, the caption Actuarial (gains) / losses – Change on the assumptions – Discount rate, includes the amount of Euros 164,770,000 related with the costs arising from the recalculation of the liabilities transferred to the Social Security based on the discount rate defined for the transfer. This amount, as referred in note 10, was charged against income statement.
Health benefit costs have a significant impact on pension costs. Considering this impact the Bank performed a sensitivity analysis assuming one percent positive variation in health benefit costs (from 6.5% to 7.5% in 2012) and a negative variation (from 6.5% to 5.5% in 2012) in health benefit costs, which impact is analysed as follows:

The remuneration for insurance mediation services were received through bank transfers and resulted from insurance intermediation with the subsidiaries of Millenniumbcp Ageas Group (Ocidental Vida e Ocidental Seguros).
The Bank does not collect insurance premiums on behalf of Insurance Companies, or performs any movement of funds related to insurance contracts. Thus, there is no other asset, liability, income or expense to be reported on the activity of insurance mediation exercised by the Bank, other than those already disclosed.
As at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the receivable balances from insurance mediation activity by nature and entity are analysed as follows:
| 2012 Euros '000 |
2011 Euros '000 |
|
|---|---|---|
| By nature | ||
| Funds receivable for payment of | ||
| life insurance commissions | 2,572 | 12,345 |
| Funds receivable for payment of | ||

| 7,367 | 17,047 |
The comissions received by the Bank result from the insurance mediation contracts and investment contracts, under the terms established in the contracts. The mediation commissions are calculated given the nature of the contracts subject to mediation, as follows:
insurance contracts – use of fixed rates on gross premiums issued;
investiment contracts – use of fixed rates on the responsibilities assumed by the insurance company under the commercialization of these products.
The Bank is subject to several risks during the course of its business. The risks from different companies of the Group are managed centrally coordinating with the local departments and considering the specific risks of each business.
The Group's risk-management policy is designed to ensure adequate relationship at all times between its own funds and the business it carries on, and also to evaluate the risk/return profile by business line.
Monitoring and control of the main types of financial risk – credit, market, liquidity and operational – to which the Group's business is subject are of particular importance.
Credit – Credit risk is associated with the degree of uncertainty of the expected returns as a result of the inability either of the borrower (and the guarantor, if any) or of the issuer of a security or of the counterparty to an agreement to fulfils their obligations.
Market – Market risk reflects the potential loss inherent in a given portfolio as a result of changes in rates (interest and exchange) and/or in the prices of the various financial instruments that make up the portfolio, considering both the correlations that exist between them and the respective volatility.
Liquidity – Liquidity risk reflects the Group's inability to meet its obligations at maturity without incurring in significant losses resulting from the deterioration of the funding conditions (funding risk) and/or from the sale of its assets below market value (market liquidity risk).
Operational – Operational risk is understood to be the potential loss resulting from failures or inadequacies in internal procedures, persons or systems, and also the potential losses resulting from external events.
The Banco Comercial Português Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of the risk policy, including the approval at the very highest level of the principles and rules to be followed in risk management, as well as the guidelines dictating the allocation of economic capital to the business lines.
The Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, ensures the existence of adequate risk control and of risk-management systems at the level both of the Group and of each entity. At the proposal of the Banco Comercial Português Executive Committee, the Board of Directors also approves the risk-tolerance level acceptable to the Group.
The Risk Commission is responsible for monitoring the overall levels of risk incurred, ensuring that they are compatible with the objectives and strategies approved for the business.
The Group Risk Officer is responsible for the control of risks in all the Group entities, in order to ensure that the risks are monitored on an overall basis and that there is alignment of concepts, practices and objectives. It must also keep the Risk Commission informed of the Group's level of risk, proposing measures to improve control and implementing the approved limits.
The activity of every entity included within the Banco Comercial Português consolidation perimeter is governed by the principles and decisions established centrally by the Risk Commission and the main subsidiaries are provided with Risk Office structures which are established in accordance with the risks inherent in their particular business. A Risk Control Commission has been set up at each relevant subsidiary, responsible for the control of risks at local level, in which the Group Risk Officer takes part.
The Group Head of Compliance is responsible for implementing systems of monitoring the compliance with legal obligations and responsibilities to which the Bank is subject, as well, the prevention, monitoring and reporting of risks in organizational processes which include, among others, the prevention of money laundering, combating financing of terrorism, prevention of conflict of interest, issues related to abuse of market and compliance with cthe disclosure requirements to customers.
For purposes of profitability analysis and risk quantification and control, each entity is divided into the following management areas:
Trading and Sales: involves those positions whose objective is to obtain short-term gains through sale or revaluation. These positions are actively managed, are tradable without restriction and may be valued frequently and precisely, including the securities, the derivatives and the sales activities;
Financing: Financing operations of the group in the market, including both money market operations and institutional ones (and possible risk coverage), but no structural financing transactions (e.g. subordinated debt);
Investment: includes those positions in securities to be held to maturity or during a longer period of time or those that are not tradable on liquid markets, or any others that are held with no other purpose than short-term gains. Also includes any other hedging risk operation associated to those;
Commercial: includes all operations (assets and liabilities) held at the normal course of business group with its customers;
Structural: deals with balance sheet elements or operations that, because of their nature, are not directly related with any of the other areas, including structural financing operations of the group, capital and balance sheet fixed items;
ALM: is the Assets and Liabilities management function, including operations decided by CALCO in the group's global risk management function and centralizes the transfer of risk between the remaining areas;
The definition of the management areas allows effective separation of the management of the trading and banking portfolios, as well as a proper allocation of each operation to the most appropriate management area according to their context.
Credit granting is based on prior classification of the customers' risk and on thorough assessment of the level of protection provided by the underlying collateral. In order to do so, a single risk-notation system has been introduced, the Rating Master Scale. It is based on the expected probability of default, allowing greater discrimination in the assessment of the customers and better establishment of the hierarchies of the associated risk. The Rating Master Scale also identifies those customers showing worsening credit capacity and, in particular, those classified as being in default in keeping with the Basel II Accord.
All the rating and scoring models used by the Bank have been duly calibrated for the Rating Master Scale.
The protection-level concept has been introduced as a crucial element of evaluation of the effectiveness of the collateral in credit-risk mitigation, leading to more active collateralization of loans and more adequate pricing of the risk incurred.
To quantify the credit risk at the level of the various portfolios, the Bank has developed a model based on an actuarial approach, which provides the distribution of total loss probability. In addition to the Probability of Default (PD) and of the Amount of the Loss Given Default (LGD) as the central points, consideration is also given to the uncertainty associated with the development of these parameters, through the introduction of the respective volatility. The effects of diversification and/or concentration between the sectors of the loan portfolios are quantified by introducing the respective correlations.

The Bank in monitoring and control of market risk existing in the diverse portfolios uses an integrated risk measure that includes the main types of market risk identified by the Group: generic risk, specific risk, non linear risk and commodities risk.
The measure used in evaluating the generic market risk is the VaR (Value at Risk). The VaR is calculated on the basis of the analysis approximation defined in the methodology developed by the RiskMetrics. It is calculated considering a 10-working day time horizon and an unilateral statistical confidence interval of 99%. In calculating the volatility associated with each risk vector, the model assumes a greater weighting for the market conditions seen in the more recent days, thus ensuring more accurate adjustment to market conditions.
A specific risk evaluation model is also applied to securities (bonds, shares, certificates, etc.) and associated derivatives for which the performance is related to its value. With the necessary adjustments, this model follows regulatory standard methodology.
Complementary measures for the non-linear risk, at a confidence level of 99%, and a standard measure for the commodities risk are also used.
These measures are included in the indicator of market risk with the conservative assumption of perfect correlation between the various types of risk (the worstcase scenario).
Capital at risk values are determined both on an individual basis for each one of the position portfolios of those areas having responsibilities in risk taking and management, as well as in consolidated terms taking into account the effects of diversification between the various portfolios.
To ensure that the VaR model adopted is appropriate to the evaluation of the risks involved in the positions that have been assumed, a back testing process has been instituted. This is carried out on a daily basis and it confronts the VaR indicators with the actual results.
The following table shows the main indicators for these measures to the trading portfolio, during 2012:
| Euros '000 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012.12.31 | 2011.12.31 | |||
| Generic Risk ( VaR ) | 3,079 | 5,512 | ||
| Specific Risk | 691 | 1,294 | ||
| Non Linear Risk | 12 | 329 | ||
| Commodities Risk | 47 | 4 | ||
| Global Risk | 3,829 | 7,139 |
Evaluation of the interest rate risk originated by the banking portfolio is performed by a risk sensitivity analysis process carried out every month for all operations included in the Bank's balance sheet.
For this analysis are considered the financial characteristics of the contracts available in information systems. Based on these data, a projection for expected cash flows is made, according to the repricing dates and any prepayment assumptions considered.
Aggregation of the expected cash flows for each time interval for each of the currencies under analysis allows determination of the interest rate gaps per repricing period.
The interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet in each currency is calculated through the difference between the present value of the interest rate mismatch after discounting the market interest rates and the discounted value of the same cash flows by simulating parallel shifts of the market interest rates.
The following tables shows the expected impact on the banking books economic value of parallel shifts of the yield curve by +/- 100 and +/- 200 basis points, on each of the main currencies:

The Bank regularly undertakes hedging operations on the market aiming to reduce the interest rate mismatch of the risk positions associated with the portfolio of transactions of the commercial and structural areas.
The Bank applies, to hedge the foreign exchange risk of the partial investment made in foreign currency in Bank Millennium (Poland), the fair value hedge accounting model.
The amount of the investment subject to hedging is PLN 1,941,433,000 (2011: PLN 1,941,433,000), with the equivalent amount of Euros 476,542,000 (2011: Euros 435,494,000), with the hedging instrument in the same amount.
It was not recognised any ineffectiveness generated in these hedging operations, as referred in the accounting policy 1 d).
Evaluation of the Bank's liquidity risk is carried out using indicators defined by the supervisory authorities on a regular basis and other internal metrics for which exposure limits are also defined.
The evolution of the Bank's liquidity situation for short-term time horizons (up to 3 months) is reviewed daily on the basis of two indicators defined in-house, immediate liquidity and quarterly liquidity. These measure the maximum fund-taking requirements that could arise on a single day, considering the cash-flow projections for periods of 3 days and of 3 months, respectively.
Calculation of these indicators involves adding to the liquidity position of the day under analysis the estimated future cash flows for each day of the respective time horizon (3 days or 3 months) for the transactions as a whole brokered by the markets areas, including the transactions with customers of the Corporate and Private networks that, for their dimension, have to be quoted by the Trading Room. The amount of assets in the Bank's securities portfolio considered highly liquid is added to the calculated value, leading to determination of the liquidity gap accumulated for each day of the period under review.
In parallel, the evolution of the Bank's liquidity position is calculated on a regular basis identifying all the factors that justify the variations that occur. This analysis is submitted to the Capital and Assets and Liabilities Committee (CALCO) for appraisal, in order to enable the decision making that leads to the maintenance of financing conditions adequate to the continuation of the business.
In addition, the Risks Commission is responsible for controlling the liquidity risk.
This control is reinforced with the monthly execution of stress tests, to characterize the Bank's risk profile and to ensure that the Group and each of its subsidiaries, fulfill its obligations in the event of a liquidity crisis. These tests are also used to support the liquidity contingency plan and management decisions.
In the current conjuncture, and given the continued prudent management of liquidity by the Group during the course of this whole situation, has been reinforced the buffer role provided by the liquidity asset portfolio discountable with the ECB or other Central Banks. In this line, the portfolio of discountable assets to the ECB increased Euros 3,136,770,000 during the year of 2012 finishing with a value of Euros 17,432,894,000.
The eligible pool of assets for funding operations in the European Central Bank, net of haircuts, is detailed as follows:
| Dec 12 Euros '000 |
Dec 11 Euros '000 |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| European Central Bank | 17,432,894 | 14,296,124 |
As at 31 December 2012, the amount discounted in the European Central Bank amounted to Euros 12,000,000,000 (31 December 2011: Euros 12,100,000,000).
The main liquidity ratios of the Bank, according to the definitions of the Instruction n.º 13/2009 of the Bank of Portugal, had the following evolution:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| Accumulated net cash flows up to 1 year as % | ||

(1) HLA- Highly Liquid Assets.
The approach to operational risk management is based on the business and support end-to-end processes. Process management is the responsibility of the Process Owners, who are the first parties responsible for evaluation of the risks and for strengthening the performance within the scope of their processes. The Process Owners are responsible for keeping up to date all the relevant documentation concerning the processes, for ensuring the real adequacy of all the existing controls through direct supervision or by delegation on the departments responsible for the controls in question, for coordinating and taking part in the risk self-assessment exercises, and for detecting and implementing improvement opportunities, including mitigating measures for the more significant exposures.
In the operational risk model implemented in the Bank, there is a systematic process of gathering information on operational losses, that defines on a systematic form, the causes and the effects associated to an eventual detected loss. From the analysis of the historical information and its relationships, processes involving greater risk are identified and mitigation measures are launched to reduce the critical exposures.
The contractual terms of instruments of wholesale funding encompass obligations assumed by the Bank as debtor or issuer, concerning general duties of societary conduct, maintenance of banking activity and the inexistence of certain credit privileges to other creditors ("negative pledge"). These terms reflect essentially the standards internationally adopted for each type of instrument.
The terms of the Bank's participation in securitization operations involving its own assets are subject to mandatory changes in case the Bank stops respecting certain rating criteria. The criteria established in each transaction results mainly from the existing risk analysis, at the moment that the transaction was set, being these methodologies usually applied by each rating agency in a standardised way to all the securitization transactions involving the same type of loans.
Considering that relevant impacts occurred with previous downgrades, reductions in the Bank's rating notations during 2012 had no significant additional implications with respect to the covenants included in the existing securitization transactions.
Regarding the Covered Bond Programs of Banco Comercial Português that are currently underway, there are no relevant covenants related to a possible downgrade of the Bank.
Following the request submitted by Millennium bcp, the Bank of Portugal authorised the adoption of methodologies based on internal rating models (IRB) for the calculation of capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk, covering a substantial part of the risk from the Bank's activity as from 31 December 2010. In the scope of the Roll-Out Plan for the calculation of the capital requirements for credit and counterparty risk under IRB approaches, the Bank of Portugal formally authorized the extension of this methodology to the subclasses of risk "Renewable Retail Positions" and "Other Retail Positions" with effect as from 31 December 2011. Afterwards, with effect as from 31 December 2012, the Bank of Portugal authorised the use of own estimates of Credit Conversion Factors (CCF) for exposures of the class of risk "Corporates". In the 1st half of 2009, the Bank received authorization from the Bank of Portugal to adopt the advanced approaches (internal models) to the generic market risk and the standard method for the operational risk.
The own funds of Banco Comercial Português are determined according to the applicable regulatory rules, namely the Regulation no. 6/2010 from the Bank of Portugal. The own funds result from adding tier 1 with tier 2 and subtracting the component of Deductions. For the calculation of tier 1 are considered the core tier 1 elements, established in the Regulation no. 3/2011, and other relevant elements to the discharge of tier 1. The tier 1 and, in particular, core tier 1, comprises the steadiest components of the own funds.
As core tier 1 positive elements, the paid-up capital and the share premium, hybrid instruments eligible for this line item, fully subscribed by the Portuguese State in the scope of the Bank's capitalisation process, the reserves and the retained earnings and the deferred impacts related to the transition adjustments to the International Financial Reporting Standards, are considered. Net losses, own shares and intangible assets correspond to negative elements.
At the end of the 2011, the Bank decided for a change in the accounting policy related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the Pension Fund. Accordingly, and following an analysis of the options permitted by the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 19 - Employee benefits, the Bank decided to recognize the actuarial gains and losses against reserves. Previously, the Bank used to defer actuarial gains and losses according to the corridor method, in which the unrecognised actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the largest among between the current value of the liabilities and the fair value of the assets were recognised against the income statement according to the estimated remaining useful life of active employees.
Despite this change in accounting policy, the Bank of Portugal, for prudential purposes, allowed to continue to be used a corridor, corresponding to the higher value between i) 10% of liabilities from retirement and other pensions benefits, and ii) 10% of the value of the Pension Fund, as defined in the Regulation no. 2/2012 from the Bank of Portugal. This corridor was enlarged by the Bank of Portugal to include the impacts that resulted from the change of mortality tables in 2005 and the actuarial losses of 2008, excluding the expected return of the fund's assets in the same year. This enlarged corridor is subject to a monthly amortization, which ended in December 2012.
Core tier 1 can also be influenced by the replacement of unrealised gains and losses which do not represent impairment on debt securities, loans and other receivables recorded in the available-for-sale portfolio, on cash-flow hedge transactions and on financial liabilities at fair value through profits and losses, net of taxes, to the extent related to own credit risk, as well as by the reversal of unrealised gains on equity securities classified as available-for-sale and loans and other receivables from the trading portfolio or measured at fair value through profits and losses.

The Bank of Portugal established new rules since the second half of 2011, which have influenced the core tier 1 of the Bank:
In November 2011, the Bank of Portugal issued a clarification regarding the Regulation no. 6/2010, determining a deduction to core tier 1 related to customers deposits contracted with yields above a certain threshold (Instruction no. 15/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
The Bank of Portugal has allowed the prudential neutralization, as from December 2011 and until June 2012, of the impacts related to the transfer of part of pension liabilities to the General Social Security Scheme and the Special Inspection Programme, carried out under the program of financial assistance to Portugal (Regulation no. 1/2012 from the Bank of Portugal).
In June 2012, the Bank issue Euros 3,000 millions of core tier 1 capital instruments subscribed by the Portuguese State within the scope of the recapitalization process of the Goup and in accordance with Regulation no. 3/2011 from the Bank of Portugal. These instruments eligible until the maximum of 50% of core tier 1.
The additional elements that integrate the core tier I are hybrid instruments and even some deductions taken by 50%: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach.
The tier 2 includes the subordinated debt and 45% of the unrealised gains on available for sale assets that have been deducted to core tier 1. These components are part of the upper tier 2, except the subordinated debt, that is split between upper tier 2 (perpetual debt) and lower tier 2 (the remaining). Subordinated debt can only be included in the own funds with the agreement of the Bank of Portugal and as long as their total amount complies with the following limits: a) the tier 2 cannot surpass the amount of the tier 1 and b) the lower tier 2 cannot surpass 50% of the tier 1. Additionally, non-perpetual subordinated loans should be amortised at a 20% annual rate, during the last five years to maturity. The tier 2 is also subject to the deduction of the remaining 50% not deducted to the tier 1: (i) of interests held in financial institutions (more than 10%) and insurers (at least 20%); and (ii) the shortfall of value adjustments and provisions to expected losses concerning riskǦweighted exposure amounts cleared under the IRB approach. If the amount of tier 2 is not enough to accommodate this deduction, the excess should be subtracted to the tier 1.
In order to conclude the calculation of the regulatory capital, there are still some deductions to the own funds that need to be performed, namely the amount of real-estate assets resulting from recovered loans that have exceeded the regulatory period of permanence in the Bank's accounts, the impairment concerning securitization transactions that have not reached the regulatory definition of effective risk transfer, to the extent of the amounts not recognised in the Bank's accounts, and the potential excess of exposure to risk limits in the scope of Bank of Portugal published Regulation no, 7/2010.
Capital requirements have been determined in accordance with the Basel II framework since the beginning of 2008. Capital requirements for credit risk have been determined in accordance with the Regulation no. 5/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using IRB approaches to calculate minimum capital requirements for a substantial part of the retail and corporate portfolios, and the standardised approach for the remaining portfolios.
Capital requirements for operational risk have been calculated following the standard approach described in the Regulation nº9/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, and capital requirements for the trading portfolio have been calculated according to the Regulation nº8/2007 from the Bank of Portugal, using the internal models approach to calculate capital requirements for the generic market risk of the trading portfolio related to debt instruments, capital instruments and foreign exchange risks, and the standardised approach to calculate capital requirements for the specific risk.
According to a recommendation released by the Bank of Portugal, the Bank's tier 1 and total capital ratios should not stand below 8%.
The own funds and the capital requirements determined according to the methodologies previously referred, for 31 December 2012 and 2011, are the following:

Recently Issued pronouncements already adopted by the Bank in the preparation of the financial Statements are the following:
IFRS 7 (amended) – Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), issued on 7th October 2010, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets", effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July 2011. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1205/2011, 22nd November.
The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets that enable users of the financial statements:
The amendments also required additional disclosures if a disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period.
The adoption of this amendment by the Bank had no impact on its financial statements.
IAS 12 (amended) – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
The IASB, issued on 20 December 2010, amendments to "IAS 12 – Income Tax – Recovery of Underlying Assets" (and withdraw SIC 21 Income Taxes – Recovery of Revalued Non-Depreciable Assets), effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.
The amendments to IAS 12 provide that, the deferred taxes related to investment properties are measured with the presumption that recovery of the carrying amount of an asset measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 Investment Property will, normally, be through sale. Before the amendment, entities were allowed to consider that the carrying amount of investment proprieties would be recovered either through use or sale, depending on management intention.
The adoption of this amendment by the Bank had no impact on its financial statements.

The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.
The changes retain the entity's option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in two statements, however requires:
to present separately the items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss; and
an entity that presents items of other comprehensive income before related tax effects will also have to allocate the aggregated tax amount between the two subcategories;
change the title to "statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income" - although other titles could be used.
The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Bank's financial position or performance.
The IASB, issued on 16th June 2011, amendments to "IAS 19 – Employee Benefits", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2012. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 475/2012, 5th June.
The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor method and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The Bank made, in 2011, a voluntary change in the accounting police related to actuarial gains and losses arising from its post employment benefits which from 2011 are charged to equity, under other comprehensive income.
However, the amended standard will impact the net benefit expenses as the expected return on plan assets will be calculated using the same interest rate as applied for the purpose of discounting the benefit obligation. This change will also have no impact on the Bank financial statements.
IFRS 7 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosure – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.
These amendments required an entity to disclose information about what amounts have been offset in the statement of financial position and the nature and extend of rights to set-off and related arrangements (e.g. collateral arrangements).
The new disclosures are required for all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The disclosures also apply to recognized financial instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are set off in accordance with IAS 32.
The Bank expects that adoption of the amendments to IFRS 7 will require more extensive disclosures about rights of set-off.
IAS 32 (Amended) - Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The IASB, issued on 16th December 2011, amendments to "IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1256/2012, 11th December.
The IASB amended IAS 32 to add application guidance to address the inconsistent application of the standard in practice. The application guidance clarifies that the sentence 'currently has a legal enforceable right of set-off' means that the right of set-off must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in the normal course of business, in the event of default and in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy, of the entity and all of the counterparties.
The application guidance also specifies the characteristics of gross settlement systems in order to be considered equivalent to net settlement.
The Bank is not expecting a significant impact form the adoption of the amendment to IAS 32, taking into consideration the accounting police already adopted.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, amendments to "IAS 27 – Separate Financial Statements", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2014. Those amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December.
Taking in consideration that IFRS 10 addresses the principles of controls and the requirements relating to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, IAS 27 was amended to cover exclusively separate financial statements.
The amendments aimed, on one hand, to clarify the disclosures required by an entity preparing separate financial statements so that the entity would be required to disclose the principal place of business (and country of incorporation, if different) of significant investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates and, if applicable, of the parent.
The previous version required the disclosure of the country of incorporation or residence of such entities.
On the other hand, it was aligned the effective dates for all consolidated standards (IFRS10, IFRS11, IFRS12, IFRS13 and amendments to IAS 28).
The Bank expects no relevant impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 10, withdraw part of IAS 27 and SIC 12, and introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated.
The new concept of control involves the assessment of power, exposure to variability in returns and a linkage between the two. An investment controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variability returns from its involvement with the investee and is able to affect those returns through its power over the investee (facto control).
The investor considers whether it controls the relevant activities of the investee, taking into consideration the new concept. The assessment should be done at each reporting period because the relation between power and exposure variability in returns may change over the time.
Control is usually assessed over a legal entity, but also can be assessed over only specified assets and liabilities of an investee (referred to as silo).
The new standard also introduce other changes such as: i) accounting requirements for subsidiaries in consolidation financial statements are carried forward from IAS 27 to this new standards and ii) enhanced disclosures are requires, including specific disclosures for consolidated and unconsolidated structured entities.
Nevertheless, the Bank does not expect any significant impact on the application of this standard on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 11 Joint arrangements", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
IFRS 11, withdraw IAS 31 and SIC 13, defines "joint control" by incorporating the same control model as defined in IFRS 10 and requires an entity that is part of a "join arrangement" to determine the nature of the joint arrangement ("joint operations" or "joint ventures") by assessing its rights and obligations.
IFRS 11 removes the option to account for joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation. Instead, joint arrangements that meet the definition of "joint venture" must be account for using the equity method (IAS 28).
The Bank has not carried out a thorough analysis of the impacts of the application of this standard. Nevertheless, the Bank does not expect any significant impact on the application of this standard on its financial statements.
IAS 28 (Revised) – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28 has been renamed as IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint ventures, and describes the application of the entity method to investments in joint ventures and associates.
The Bank expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities", effective (with retrospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1254/2012, 11th December, that allows a delayed on mandatory application for 1st January 2014.
The objective of this new standard is to require an entity to disclose information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate: (a) the nature of, and risks associated with, its interests in other entities; and (b) the effects of those interests on its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
The Bank is still assessing the full impact of the new IFRS 12 in line with IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.
The IASB, issued on 12th May 2011, "IFRS 13 fair value Measurement", effective (with prospective application) for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2013. These amendments were endorsed by EU Commission Regulation 1255/2012, 11th December.
IFRS 13 provides a single source of guidance on how fair value is measured, and replaces the fair value measurement guidance that is currently dispersed throughout IFRS. Subject to limited exceptions, IFRS 13 is applied when fair value measurements or disclosures are required or permitted by other IFRSs.
The Bank is currently reviewing its methodologies for determining fair values, to evaluate if this rule has any impact on its financial statements.
Although many of IFRS 13 disclosures requirements regarding financial assets and financial liabilities are already required, the adoption of IFRS 13 will require the Bank to provide additional disclosures. These include fair value hierarchy disclosures for non-financial assets/liabilities and disclosures on fair value measurements that are categorized in Level 3.
The amendments apply to a particular class of business that qualifies as investment entities. The IASB uses the term 'investment entity' to refer to an entity whose business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income or both. An investment entity must also evaluate the performance of its investments on a fair value basis. Such entities could include private equity organizations, venture capital organizations, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other investment funds.
The amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirements in IFRS 10 and require investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them. The amendments also set out disclosure requirements for investment entities.
The amendments are effective from 1 January 2014 with early adoption permitted. This option allows investment entities to apply the Investment Entities amendments on the same date as the first application of the remaining IFRS 10.
The Bank expects no impact from the adoption of this amendment on its financial statements.
The annual improvements cycle 2009-2011, issued by IASB on 17th May 2012, introduce amendments, with effective date on, or after, 1st January 2013, to the standards IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32, IAS 34 and IFRIC 2.
This improvement clarifies the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required comparative information. Generally, the minimum required comparative information is related with the previous period.
This improvement clarifies that major spare parts and servicing equipment that meet the definition of property, plant and equipment are not inventory.
The improvements clarifies that income taxes arising from distributions to equity holders are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes, avoiding any interpretation that may mean any either application.
The amendments align the disclosure requirement for total segment assets with total segment liabilities in interim financial statements. This clarification also ensures that interim disclosures are aligned with annual disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and loss account and other comprehensive income.
The Bank is not expecting any significant impacts from the adoption of these improvements, taking into consideration the accounting police already adopted.
IFRS 9 (2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010) introduces additional requirements related to financial liabilities. The IASB currently has an active project to perform limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 and new requirements to address the impairment of financial assets and hedge accounting.
The IFRS 9 (2009) requirements represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortized cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available-for-sale and loans and receivables.
For an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual shareby-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments are recognized in profits or loss, rather than other comprehensive income unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment.
Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.
The standard requires that derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are not separated; instead the hybrid financial instruments is assessed in its entirety as to whether it should be amortized cost or fair value.
IFRS 9 (2010) introduces a new requirement in respect of financial liabilities designated under the fair value option to generally present fair value changes that are attributable to the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss. Apart from this change, IFRS 9 (2010) largely carries forward without substantive amendment the guidance on classification and measurement of financial liabilities from IAS 39.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 with early adoption permitted. The IASB decided to consider making limited amendments to IFRS 9 to address practice and other issues.
The Bank has started the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard but is waiting for finalization of the limited amendments before the evaluation can be completed. Given the nature of the Bank's operation, this standard is expected to have a pervasive impact on the Bank's financial statements.
A press release issued by the Bank of Portugal on 28 December 2007 mentioned that such administrative proceedings were initiated "based in facts related with 17 off-shore entities, whose nature and activities were always hidden from Bank of Portugal, in particular in previous inspections carried out". On 12 December 2008, the Bank was notified of an accusation under the administrative proceedings no. 24/07/CO instructed by the Bank of Portugal, in which this Authority charges the Bank and the other defendants, with the practice of six administrative offences regulated by paragraph g) and three administrative offences regulated by paragraph r) of article 211 of the Legal Framework for Credit Institutions and Financial Companies (LFCIFC).
The offences, should the charges be proven true, would be the following:
a) Failure to comply with the applicable accounting rules, determined by law or by the Bank of Portugal, that do not cause serious damages to the knowledge of the company's assets and financial standing is an administrative offence regulated in article 210 (f) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, if such conduct causes serious damages, it may become the offence regulated in article 211 (g) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000, and
b) the (i) omission of information and communications to the Bank of Portugal, within the due deadlines or (ii) the provision of incomplete information are offences regulated in article 210 (h – presently amended to i) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 750 and Euros 750,000. However, the (i) provision of false information or (ii) of incomplete information to the Bank of Portugal that may lead to wrongful conclusions with the same or similar effect as false information regarding that subject are offences regulated in article 211 (r) of the LFCIFC, whereby companies are punished by a fine between Euros 2,500 and Euros 2,494,000.
According to the charges, each offence is punishable by a fine between Euros 2,493.99 and Euros 2,493,989.49, and pursuant to the rules on accrued offences, defined in article 19 (1 and 2), of the Portuguese regime on administrative offences (Regime Geral das Contra-ordenações), in case of conviction for several offences, there shall be a single fine, the maximum amount of which cannot surpass twice the highest limit of the accrued offences.
On March 2009, the Bank did not accept the charges or accusations made and provided defence under these administrative proceedings within due term.
On 12 May 2010, the Bank was notified of the contents of the decision that, within the scope of the proceedings, was issued by the Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal, applying to it, as primary sanction, a single fine of Euros 5,000,000.
Different fines were applied to the remaining defendants as primary sanctions, globally amounting to Euros 4,470,000. The Board of Directors of the Bank of Portugal decided to file the proceedings relating to a former Director and a Manager.
The Bank objected to this decision and has already been informed of the decision to accept the legal objections presented by all the defendants.
The trial hearing began in April 2011 and in September, the Court heard the witnesses so as to better appraise the validity of the documentation provided with the claims and their eventual nullity as evidence due to violation of banking secrecy.
After the hearing, the Court issued a decision dated of 7 October 2011 declaring that the evidence was null and therefore the entire process was annulled. The Public Prosecutor and Banco of Portugal appealed this decision. The Bank and other defendants have already presented their counter-claim.
On 5 July 2012, the Bank was notified of the decision of the Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa (Lisbon court of appeals) which approved the appeals presented by Banco de Portugal and by the public prosecution, and revoked the decision appealed, determining that, "there being no other reason not to, the trial hearing shall be continued and at the appropriate moment, a decision will be made based on the evidence"
Several defendants (natural persons) presented an appeal to the Constitutional Court and the proceeding is waiting to be appraised.
Considering this notification, and although considering as reproduced the contents of the defence presented in the above mentioned administrative proceedings, the Bank decided, in order to avoid any risk of a future allegation of loss of the right to an indemnity that may occur if no recourse is presented in this process, to present legal documentation regarding: (i) the recognition of its right, in a later period namely following the final identification of the facts, present a separate process in civil courts requesting an indemnity and (ii) additionally and cautiously, if the right to the request of a separate indemnity process in civil courts is not recognised, a civil indemnity according to the facts and terms mentioned in the accusation, if they are proven.
On 19 July 2011 the Bank was notified of the decision of the 8ª Vara Criminal de Lisboa (Lisbon criminal court section) to recognise that the Bank could present an eventual request for civil indemnity separately. One of the Defendants appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals, which was admitted by the first instance court but has a merely devolutive effect, being passed to the higher court only with the eventual appeal that ends the proceedings.
The debate and trial hearing is currently underway.
The loan agreements are ruled by the Swiss Law and subject to the jurisdiction of the Swiss courts and the Bank was informed that, according to the Swiss law, the Plaintiffs' request is not likely to be granted. Since the lawsuit was brought forward in the Portuguese courts, if the Portuguese courts decide to try the same, its outcome may be uncertain. Since the Bank believes that the Plaintiffs' request has no grounds, the Bank did not make any provisions regarding this litigation.
On 29 October 2012, the Bank presented its arguments. Banque Privée BCP (Suisse) S.A. requested that the citation be considered null; the request was accepted and an order was issued for the repetition of the citation, and the same was repeated on 08 January 2013, and Banque Privée now has 60 days to present its arguments.

The values for Credit Default Swaps identified in the tables above, are economically offset by other symmetrical Credit Default Swaps or Credit Linked Notes issued by the Group and for which is applied the Fair Value Option or are being detached embedded derivatives associated, so that, in net terms, the Group is not exposed to the risks underlying sovereign risks.
The European Union sovereign debt crisis and specifically the economic and political environment in Greece have contributed to the continuous deterioration of economic and financial situation of Greece and the incapacity to obtain funds from the international markets, which implies that the short term solvency of the country is dependent on the continuous support by EU and IMF.
Impairment was determined considering the terms of the agreement established between the Greek state and the private sector (PSI), related to the restructuring of the Greek sovereign debt ('GGBs'). For the purposes of determining impairment, the Group considered the terms and conditions of the PSI and also paragraph AG 84 of IAS 39 that considers reasonable that, for the portfolio of assets held to maturity when, for practical reasons, there are relevant uncertainties regarding the estimate of future cash-flows, impairment can be determined based on observable market prices.
Considering the available information regarding the bonds' characteristics, the fair value corresponded to approximately 23% of the book value of the portfolio. In light of the reestructuring of the Greek sovereign debt in the second quarter of 2012, the Bank charged off the impairment. The exchange offer occurred in 12 March 2012.
The PSI is part of an European Union Euros 130,000,000,000 bailout package for Greece.
After the exchange, the Bank sold all portfolio of Greek sovereign debt resulting from PSI.
The Bank performed a set of transactions of sale of financial assets (namely loans and advances to customers) for Funds specialized in the recovery of loans. These funds take the responsibility for management of the companies or assets received as collateral with the objective of ensuring a pro-active management through the implementation of plans to explore/increase the value of the companies/assets. The financial assets sold under these transactions are derecognized from the balance sheet of the Group, since the transactions result in the transfer to the Funds of a substantial portion of the risks and benefits associated with the assets as well as the control on the assets.
The specialized funds that acquire the financial assets are closed funds, in which the holders of the participation units have no possibility to request the reimbursement of its investment throughout the useful life of the Fund.
These participation units are held by several banks, which are the sellers of the loans, in percentages that vary through the useful life of the Funds, ensuring however that, separately, none of the banks holds more than 50% of the capital of the Fund.
The Funds have a specific management structure (General Partner), fully independent from the banks and that is selected on the date of establishment of the Fund.
The management structure of the Fund has as main responsibilities:
determine the objective of the Fund;
manage exclusively the Fund, determining the objectives and investment policy and the conduct in management and business of the Fund.
The management structure is remunerated through management commissions charged to the Funds.
These funds, in the majority of the transactions (in which the Bank holds minority positions) establish companies under the Portuguese law in order to acquire the loans to the banks, which are financed through the issuance of senior and junior bonds. The value of the senior bonds fully subscribed by the Finds that hold the share capital of the companies match the fair value of the asset sold, determined in accordance with a negotiation based on valuations performed by both parties. These bonds are remunerated at an interest rate that reflects the risk of the company that holds the assets.
The value of the junior bonds is equivalent to the difference between the fair value based on the valuation of the senior bonds and the sale value.
These junior bonds, when subscribed by the Bank, provide the right to a contingent positive value if the recovered amount for the assets transferred is above the nominal value amount of senior bonds plus it related interest.
However, considering that these junior bonds reflect a difference between the valuations of the assets sold based on the appraisals performed by independent entities and the negotiation between the parties, the junior bonds are fully provided.
Therefore, following the transactions, the Bank subscribed:
-Participation units of the Funds, for which the cash-flows that allow the recovery arise mainly from a set of assets transferred from the participant banks (where the Bank has clearly a minority interest). These securities are booked in the available for sale portfolio and are accounted for at fair value based on the market value, as disclosed by the Funds and audited at year end.
Within this context, not withholding control but maintaining an exposure to certain risks and rewards, the Bank, in accordance with IAS 39.21 performed an analysis of the exposure to the variability of risks and rewards in the assets transferred, before and after the transaction, having concluded that it doesn't hold substantially all the risks and rewards.
Considering that it doesn't hold control and doesn't exercise significant influence on the funds or companies management, the Bank performed the derecognition of the assets transferred under the scope of IAS 39.20 c (i) and the recognition of the assets received as follows:

On 18 April 2011, an amendment of the Bank's Articles of Association was approved which accepted the principle of one vote for each share.
The Bank's Articles of Association do not lay down any rules with a view to preventing the success of public takeover offers. There is also no rule with the content expressed in the second part of the abovementioned recommendation, and its inclusion has never been requested either by shareholders or members of the governing bodies. Under the terms of the law, any shareholder or Group of Shareholders holding 2% or more of the share capital may request, at any time, that the suppression of the limit on the counting of the voting rights when issued by a single shareholder or by an economic group, in accordance with article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association, should be voted on at the general meeting. However, at the present date, as far as the Bank is aware, there are no shareholders covered by the abovementioned statutory provision. At the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012, during which a profound amendment of the Bank's Articles of Association was approved, this theme was not discussed, which may be interpreted as meaning that the shareholders upheld in 2012 the content of the limit stipulated in article 26 of the Bank's Articles of Association.
This recommendation establishes a formal reference to the Companies Code, by imposing on companies the duty of not establishing a deliberative quorum higher than that established by law. The Bank's Articles of Association, however, require majorities higher than those legally established in three circumstances:
The first, relative to the requirement of a constitutive quorum of two thirds of the share capital to enable the Meeting to be held on first call, while the law requires this quorum only for Meetings deliberating on amendment of the memorandum of association, merger, demerger, transformation, dissolution of the company or other affairs for which the law requires a qualified majority, without specifying.
The Bank and shareholders who approved the articles of association in force deemed that, since Banco Comercial Português is one of the companies with the largest free float of the Portuguese Stock Exchange, it is important to ensure that, whatever the circumstances, and not only for the cases identified in the law, the shareholders, independently of their respective representativeness, are certain that, on first call, the affairs taken to the general meeting may only be decided if the share capital is minimally represented.
For a company which, during 2012, saw 180% of the shares representative of its share capital involved in transactions on the Stock Exchange, the guarantee of a minimum representativeness of the shareholders is an essential condition for the defence of the interests of the actual company, as well as its customers, employees and other stakeholders.
The second and third is related to the majority required for the approval of operations concerning the merger, demerger or transformation of the Bank, for which the law requires two thirds of the votes cast and the Bank's articles of association require three quarters of the votes cast, as well as for deliberation on the dissolution of the company where, under the terms of the Articles of Association, a majority corresponding to three quarters of the paid-up share capital is required.
Also in this case, and in view of the importance of the matters in question, the arguments extended in the previous case are considered valid, with emphasis on the last paragraph.

NOTE 4
There is no rigid policy on rotation of areas of responsibility under the Board of Directors but the distribution of positions between the executive members of the Board of Directors, as described in Recommendation II.3.- Board of Directors, points to the existence of a structured mechanism of rotation of areas of responsibility. Nonetheless and during 2012, until 28 February the Chief Financial Officer was member and Vice-Chairman of the Executive Board of Directors and on 29 February, the new member of the Board of Directors and also Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee was appointed to these positions
http://www.millenniumbcp.pt/site/conteúdos/en/.
The recommendations described in the table above and the detailed manner in which the issues are addressed in the following chapters, are in conformity with the guiding principles of the Group's corporate governance policy, where the degree of observance of the recommendations is considered to be very comprehensive and complete, in particular according to their effective relevance and interests they seek to protect. In those situations in which there are deviations from the accepted recommendations, the grounds for non-acceptance are explained.
The answer required for this point is presented in the explanations given in the replies to the three preceding points. Notwithstanding this, the relevance of the issue requires a broader reference.
In fact, experience shows – not only in Portugal – that the alternative "comply or explain" formula has not been successful, in practice, in conveying its underlying and indeed, indispensable, equivalence. Hence, the compliance (or mere submission) has been more used and recognised than the legitimate
alternative explanation, which has also unbalanced the respective compliance cost, making formal compliance simpler and more convenient (with or without concordance) than the effort of explaining, which is more cumbersome and less useful.
This situation – worsened by the more or less mechanical surveys, indices, scorings and rankings, deciding which companies comply more or simply do not comply – deeply jeopardises the essence of the comply or explain principle upon which the Corporate Governance Code is based and tends to eliminate the creativity and flexibility that it needs, tending to crystallise the recommendations, making them more rigid (regardless of their merit), more "common place", depriving them of their real meaning.
Anyone wishing to base a group of recommendations upon the fundamental principle of comply or explain – as is, we repeat, the goal of the cited Directive 2006/46/EC and also predominant in most corporate governance codes of international companies – can no longer just state the principle without seeking to contribute to preserve its real meaning. On the other hand, the high number of recommendations without international correspondence which constitutes a phenomenon of excessive national over-regulation is noteworthy.
It is, therefore, crucial to stress the importance of a firm application of the comply or explain principle in all its aspects, strongly underlining the real exchangeability of both possibilities.
The operation of the General Meeting of Banco Comercial Português, S.A., a public company, issuer of shares listed for trading on regulated markets, is ruled by the respective statutory rules and specific provisions of the Companies Code (CSC) and Securities Market Code (CVM).
The General Meeting, the highest governing body of the company, representing the entirety of the shareholders, is especially responsible for: electing and dissolving its own Board, as well as the members of the management bodies, its chairman and deputy chairmen, the members of the Remunerations and Welfare Board and elect, following a proposal of the Audit Committee, the Statutory Auditor; approving amendments to the articles of association; resolving, following a proposal of the Audit Committee, on the choice of the External Auditor, the management report and accounts, proposals for the appropriation of profits and any matters submitted at the request of the Board of Directors and, in general, resolving on all matters specifically attributed by the law or articles of association, or which are not included in the attributions of other corporate bodies.
The chairman of the board of the general meeting must be provided with the supporting human and logistic resources appropriate to the preparation and calling of the General Meeting, and shall have the support of the Company Secretary and respective services over the entire year. The whole process of preparation and holding of the three General Meetings in 2012 was supported by a vast multidisciplinary team composed of senior staff and employees of the Operations, Information Technology, Direct Banking and Audit Departments as well as the representative for Market Relations.
It should be noted that an international Audit firm has always been contracted to certify the voting and shareholder accreditation procedures.
The Board of the General Meeting is composed of:
Chairman: António Manuel da Rocha e Menezes Cordeiro (Independent)
Vice – Chairman: Manuel António de Castro Portugal Carneiro da Frada (Independent)
Inherent to the position, the Board is supported by secretarial services administered by the Corporate Secretary, Ana Isabel dos Santos de Pina Cabral.
The members of the Board of the General Meeting may or may not be shareholders.
On its Internet site the Bank keeps the historical record, in Portuguese and English, of the relevant information relative to the General Meetings held in the last five years, disclosing, namely: the total number of votes cast, the percentage share capital represented corresponding to the total number of votes cast, the number of shares corresponding to the total number of votes cast, the company's identification, the name of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Board, copy of the call notices, agendas, proposals and any other documents voted on.
The publication is available on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
http://www.millenniumbcp.pt/pubs/pt/grupobcp/quemsomos/orgaossociais/
Likewise, and independently of the number of shares owned, the Bank sends the minutes to shareholders who have participated in the General Meetings and request them, providing access to the attendance lists to shareholders who wish to validate their own registration on these lists.
The Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the Board were elected at the General Meeting held on 18 April 2011, for the three-year period 2011/2013, and are holding a second term of office, continuously.
The annual remuneration earned by the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting amounts to 150,000 Euros and was established on 28 May 2007 by the Remuneration and Welfare Board elected by the General Meeting, with this value having remained unaltered since then.
During the holding of office and in observance of the rules of independence, the Chairman of the Board, with his considerable and recognised technical knowledge and legal strictness, supported the different Corporate Boards and Bodies of the Bank in all matters of corporate governance on which he was consulted.
The Bank's Articles of Association include the amendments to the Securities Market Code approved by Decree–Law no. 49/2010, which imposed on the Portuguese legal system and for companies issuing shares listed for trading on regulated market, the rule of the "date of registration".
This rule determines that the capacity to participate and vote in the General Meeting is assessed according to presentation of evidence of shareholder capacity at 0 hours GMT on the 5th trading day prior to the date of the meeting and the issue of a written statement, to the Chairman of the Board and the financial intermediary with which the individualised registry account is opened, until - at the very latest - the 6th trading day prior to the meeting, declaring the intention to participate in said meeting.
In the event of shares being sold by a shareholder during the period between the "date of registration" and date of the Meeting and the shareholder wishes to participate therein, the shareholder must inform the CMVM and Chairman of the Board of the Meeting of this fact.
As provided in the above paragraph, this recommendation should be considered derogated.
Under the Bank's articles of association, each share corresponds to one vote.
Within the legal framework applicable to companies in general, and to credit institutions in particular, it is not possible to issue preferred shares without voting rights, if these do not confer to their holders, namely, priority minimum dividends from the distributable profit for the financial year.
Banco Comercial Português has never issued preferred shares without voting rights, in spite of enshrining this possibility in no. 2 of article 4 of its Articles of Association, pursuant to the regulatory framework of the Companies Code on this matter.
The preferred shares with such features of preferred shares without voting rights allow financial investors to abdicate from actively intervening in the management of corporate business, against a guaranteed (minimum) return on their investment. Therefore, these shares cannot be freely compared with other ordinary shares, which bear voting rights that are indispensable and necessary for effective control of the company.
Hence, with respect to this category of shares (or type of securities), the fact that they do not grant voting rights does not affect the proportionality of the voting rights. Besides, under the terms of the law, if their preferred dividend is not paid for two consecutive financial years, these shares will gain voting rights, restoring the corporate balance and allowing their holders to actively participate in the company's life.
If, by any chance, it were to be interpreted as countering the possibility of issuing preferred shares without voting rights, the recommendation of the CMVM would, in fact, collide with the provisions established in Section V of Chapter II of the Companies Code, namely with the provisions in no. 1 of article 341 and would ignore the content of article 384 of the same Code.
Regarding the provisions in article 26 of the Articles of Association of Banco Comercial Português, which determine that votes corresponding to more than 20% of the total share capital should not be counted when imputable to a single shareholder or in relation to shareholders connected to the former, Banco Comercial Português considers that this article was created to ensure that small and medium-sized shareholders have greater influence on any decisions that might be submitted to the General Meeting. The limits to voting rights stipulated in the Articles of Association, reflected in the adoption of a maximum statutory voting ceiling, sought to restrict the rights of the largest shareholders, thus defending the interests of small and medium-sized shareholders, whose vote thus achieves greater weight and representativeness relative to the most significant.
This statutory provision may be freely modified by the shareholders, at any time. It was renewed when amendments to the articles of association were approved by the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012 and, to the best of the company's knowledge, there are no shareholders to whom this limit is applicable.
The Bank's Articles of Association clearly and objectively enshrine the rules for the exercise of voting rights.
Article 24 of the Bank's Articles of Association establishes the requirement of a constitutive quorum of over one third of the share capital for the meeting to be able to deliberate on first call.
Regarding the deliberative quorum, the Articles of Association only diverge from the law with respect to deliberations on the merger, demerger and transformation of the company, which require approval by three quarters of the votes cast, and dissolution of the company where, under the terms of article 49 of the Articles of Association, a majority corresponding to three quarters of the paid-up share capital is required.
With the exception noted above in I.7., the Articles of Association do not establish limitations to the exercise of voting rights, nor do they stipulate any special voting or other rights.
The Bank ensures the effective exercise of corporate rights by its shareholders who choose to exercise their vote by correspondence.
For such, and for each General Meeting, the Bank discloses this possibility widely and in due time.
As of the publication of the call notice, a specific page of the General Meeting is created on the Bank's institutional Internet site, where, complying with the legal deadlines, it is not only possible to consult and print all the documentation which, being known to the company, is prepared for appraisal by the shareholders, but also an explanatory note is also provided on how to participate, indicating the steps which must be taken to ensure the shareholder's presence at the Meeting and exercise of the right to vote, namely by correspondence.
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.aspx
The methodology to be adopted for the exercise of the right to vote by correspondence is published both on the call notice of the General Meeting as well as on the Bank's Internet site.
The ballot papers for postal correspondence and correspondence using electronic means are placed at the disposal of the shareholders on the Bank's Internet site from the moment the General Meeting is called, being updated in accordance with the proposals received and any alteration to the agenda.
The instructions for voting through electronic means are published at the same time as the call notice of the General Meeting on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.aspx
The Bank has established, as the deadline for the receipt of votes cast by correspondence, 17:00 hours of the penultimate business day before the date scheduled for the General Meeting, with this deadline coinciding with that established for the receipt of the rest of the documentation for the meeting, thus observing the rules in CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 - Governance of Listed Companies.
Under the terms of article 27 of the Bank's Articles of Association, the exercise of the right to vote through electronic means covers all the matters presented on the call notice, with the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting being responsible for verifying the existence of the means to ensure the security and confidentiality of votes cast in this manner.
As defined by the Bank, voting by correspondence through electronic means may be exercised by shareholders who have requested the respective code in due time.
The instructions for voting through electronic means are published at the same time as the call notice of the General Meeting on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.aspx
The Bank publishes, within a period of less than the recommended five days, the constitutive quorum, agenda, proposals and reports submitted to the Meeting, content of the deliberations taken and results of the voting, indicating the number of shareholders present at each voting session, number of shares and number of votes to which they correspond, sense of each of the votes exercised and result of the voting.
The abovementioned publication is available on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.aspx
On its Internet site, the Bank provides the historical record of the attendance, agendas, deliberations adopted and percentage of the votes cast at the General Meetings over the last 5 years, as well as all the other information referred to in the preceding number.

Members of the Remuneration and Welfare Board were present at the General Meetings held during 2012.
The General Meeting held on 31 May 2012 deliberated, with a binding character, on the remuneration policies of the Board of Directors, including the Executive Comittee and functional directors, senior staff and other employees, where the respective proposals were approved by 99.94% of the votes cast, and where the meeting was attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 41.60% of the share capital.
The approved proposals are available on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
http://ind.millenniumbcp.pt/en/Institucional/investidores/Pages/AG.aspx
During 2012, the Head of the Chairman's Office, the Compliance Officer, Group Treasurer, Representative for Investor Relations, Risk Officer, Company Secretary as well as the Head of Internal Audit, Head of Research, Planning and ALM Department and Head of the Board of Directors' Support Office were qualified as Directors of the Bank. Their respective remuneration does not contain any variable component, and is attributed casuistically by the Board of Directors on an annual basis, and is not considered an acquired right. During the financial year to which this report refers, no sum was attributed as variable remuneration to the directors in observance of no. 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code.
The policy of establishment of remuneration of these Directors is precisely the same as that for all other Coordinating Directors of the Bank and Group, whose competence the Board of Directors has delegated to the Commission for Nominations and Evaluations (Talent Management).
In line with the Bank's recapitalisation plan involving public investment, regulated in article 9 of Law no. 63-A/2008, of 24 November, amended and republished by Law no. 4/2012 of 11 January, Banco Comercial Português is bound, during the duration of the public investment, by article 12 of Regulation no. 150-A/2012, regardless of the remuneration policy of its management bodies approved by the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, to establish for the set of members of the management and supervisory bodies a remuneration that, for the purpose of calculating its fixed and variable component, does not exceed 50% of the respective average remuneration of the two previous years, which became effective as of July 2012.
I.17. Information on the intervention of the General Meeting with respect to the proposal regarding the approval of plans to allocate shares and/or share purchase options, or based on share price variations, to members of the management and supervisory boards and other directors, in observance of no. 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Code, as well as on the elements provided to the General Meeting with a view to a correct assessment of these plans
There are no valid plans to allocate shares and/or share purchase options or based on share price variations.
The retirement or disability benefit system of the members of the management board is stipulated in article 17 of the Bank's Articles of Association and in the Retirement Regulations of the Members of the Executive Board of Directors, approved by the Remuneration and Welfare Board and Annual General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, where the Remuneration and Welfare Board, on this issue and relative to the financial year of 2012, took the deliberation described in the table presented in paragraph II.33.o) of this Report, whose financial impact cannot be altered.
There is no rule in the Bank's Articles of Association with the content expressed in the present recommendation, and its inclusion has never been requested either by shareholders or members of the governing bodies.
I.20. Indication of defensive measures which have the effect of automatically leading to a serious erosion of company assets in the event of the transfer of control or change of the composition of the management body
The company's Articles of Association stipulate no measures with these characteristics.
I.21. Significant agreements of which the company is a party and which enter into force, able of being altered or that cease to be in force in the case of the change of control of the company, as well as the respective effects, unless, due to their nature, their disclosure would be seriously harm the company, except if the company is specifically obliged to disclose this information due to other legal requirements
There are no agreements with these characteristics.
I.22. Agreements between the company and members of the management body and directors, in observance of no. 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code which establish compensation in the case of resignation, dismissal without fair grounds or termination of the work relation following a change in the control of the company
The company has undersigned no agreements with these characteristics.
Banco Comercial Português has developed permanent efforts to incorporate the criteria of the assessment of Good Corporate Governance – equity, accountability, transparency, diligence, technical and professional competence and internal alignment and loyalty and responsibility duties – simultaneously with the adoption of practices to ensure the achievement of the objectives of the best models of Corporate Governance – separation of duties, specialisation of supervision, financial and management control, risk control and monitoring, minimisation of conflicts of interests and orientation towards sustainability.
The awareness that confidence in the institution is a fundamental pillar towards achieving the objectives set forth, resulted in a profound and constant reflection on the best form of organising the company and of creating monitoring and control mechanisms regardless of their implementation that allow its credibility, solidity and sustainability, as well as the effective and informed participation of shareholders in the life of the company to improve.
On matters of corporate governance, the Anglo-saxonic model, namely through the so called one-tier sub-model is considered the preferred model from among the admissible models and is currently more suitable to a Group with the scale, characteristics and object of the BCP Group, enabling greater proximity, identity and organic responsibility which under the current circumstances best defends the interests of the company such as the capitalisation efforts and the development of the multi-domestic expansion strategy.
In that regard, in the General Meeting of Shareholders held on 28 February 2012, the shareholders approved, by a majority of 99.21% of the votes cast, the amendment and restructuring of the Articles of Association of Banco Comercial Português, with a view to adopting a one-tier model. Consequently, the management and supervisory structure began to include a board of directors, within the scope of which there is an audit committee, composed solely by non-executive directors and an executive committee. There is also a statutory auditor.
With the objective of ensuring the development of the international expansion strategy of the Bank and Group, a Board for International Strategy was also elected at the abovementioned General Meeting, entrusted with the analysis and reflection on this strategy, and supervision of its evolution and implementation.
In accordance with the said corporate governance model adopted by Banco Comercial Português during 2012, its management and supervision was structured as follows:
The Group also uses a company of external auditors to carry out the audits of the individual and consolidated accounts of Banco Comercial Português and of the different companies controlled by it, whose appointment was deliberated at the General Meeting.
The Board of Directors (BD) is the governing body of the Bank charged with, in accordance with the law and the articles of association, the most ample powers of management and representation of the company.
The Board of Directors currently in office was elected by the General Meeting held on 28 February 2012 for the three-year period 2012/2014.
Under the terms of the Articles of Association in force, the Board of Directors is composed of a minimum of seventeen and a maximum of twenty-five members with and without executive functions, elected by the General Meeting for a period of three years, who may be re-elected one or more times. The Chairman or whoever is replacing him at any given time has the casting vote. The Board of Directors has
been ensured the broadest competence established in the law and Articles of Association of the Company, which covers, amongst others, the following duties:
The Bank's Board of Directors was elected on 28 February 2012 and on 31 December 2012 it was composed of the following members:

The Board of Directors approved regulations allowing the receipt of communications of irregularities submitted by shareholders, employees or others which are available on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:

The diagram below represents the Corporate Governance Model structure of Millennium bcp in 2012:

Since the competences of the General Meeting, the Board of Directors and its specialised committees, and the Remuneration and Welfare Board and the Board for International Strategy have been addressed in detail in the points above, this number shall describe only the scope of action of the Ombudsman Office, the distribution of areas of responsibility of the Executive Committee and the main structures that report to them.
The Client Ombudsman Office of Millenium bcp has operating independence from the organic structure of the Bank, aimed at the defence and guarantee of the rights and interests of Customers.
The activity of the Client Ombudsman is based on principles of autonomy, impartiality, celerity, gratuitousness and confidentiality, governed by the Ombudsman's own Rules of Procedure, complying with the legal, prudential and recommendatory rules or internal procedures that regulates banking activity in general and the Bank in particular, and may, in making its assessment, adopt judgements of fairness with a view to obtaining the most suitable solutions.
Information on the Client Ombudsman and the services that support its activity, as well as the Rules of Procedure of the Client Ombudsman are available on the internal portal, on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following address:
During 2012, the position of Ombudsman continued to be held by Francisco José Anjos Salema Garção, a person of recognised competence and very considerable experience in the banking business, with no employment ties with Banco Comercial Português, S.A. or any company or institution controlled by the Bank.
During 2012, the Ombudsman Office received 1,427 communications from Customers, of which 66 were reported as appeals, 1,129 recorded as claims and 232 as requests.
Of the 66 appeals that were filed, all were appraised and concluded in 2012, with the average time of response having stood at 13 business days, representing a rate of conclusion in due time of 100%, and the percentage granted having been 30% of processes received. Four recommendations were formulated, two of which addressed to the Executive Committee of Millennium bcp and another two were addressed to the Board of Directors of Ocidental, which received the agreement of those bodies.
The appreciation of the 1,129 appeals was ensured with the collaboration of the Customer Attendance Service, with 1,052 appeals having been concluded in 2012. The rate of conclusion represented 93% of appeals, with 52% of the decisions being favourable to the claimants.
Since this is an executive body of current management, there is no delegation of competences in the real sense of the term, but rather a clear distribution of areas of responsibility amongst the executive directors, who were assisted by various committees, commissions and departments during 2012.
The distribution of areas of responsibility amongst the members of the Executive Committee as at 31 December 2012 was as follows:

The management body is also responsible for ensuring the implementation and maintenance of information and reporting processes which are suitable to the institution's activity and risks, for defining the accounting policies to be adopted, for establishing the guidelines and for defining the decisions which, in the context of such policies, must be taken, in order to ensure the reliability of the financial reporting. Therefore, and at a more operational level, it is responsible for approving the reporting or external disclosure outputs produced for this effect.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE AND STATUTORY AUDITOR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM
Regarding the Internal Control System and pursuant to Bank of Portugal Notice no. 5/2008, the responsibilities of the supervisory body and Statutory Auditor are as follows:
In addition to the legal and regulatory provisions to which these bodies and their members are subject on this matter, all the management and supervisory bodies have their own working Regulations, which may be consulted on the Bank's Internet site, on the page with the following direct address:
http://www.millenniumbcp.pt/pubs/pt/investidores/governacaocorporativa/normas/regimentoca/.
In general terms, the incompatibilities system stipulated in the Companies Code, pursuant to the Bank's governance model during 2012, was applicable to the Board of Directors and prohibited members being persons who have interests in the company that might place in question the impartiality which should guide the action of members of a body with exclusive and full responsibility in the management and representation of the company.
On this matter, the Articles of Association and Regulations of the Board of Directors also reveal, in article 12, no. 1 and 4, under the title "independence", that "for the effect of the present articles of association, people who are not associated to any specific group of interests of the Bank, nor are under any circumstances able to affect their unbiased analysis or decision-making are deemed to be independent".
II.8. Should the chairman of the management body perform executive duties, indication of the mechanisms for the coordination of the work of the non-executive members which ensure the independent and informed character of the decisions
The Chairman of the Board of Directors does not have executive funtions.
On this issue, see the information provided in the Annual Report for 2012, Chapters - Risk Management and Main Risk Factors.
Under the terms of the Articles of Association of the Bank, the Board of Directors has powers to, when it believes this to be convenient and after having obtained the favourable opinion of the Audit Committee, increase the share capital, once or more times, until the limit of the value of the existing share capital when the authorisation was granted or at the time of the renewals of this authorisation.
At the present date the share capital of the Bank is 3,500,000,000 and at the date of the last renewal of the authorisation it was 3,000,000,000 Euros.
The last authorisation to deliberate on a share capital increase was granted at the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, where the amount used in 2012 was 500,000,000.00 thousand Euros. The share capital increase through new cash entries was intended for subscription by shareholders in the exercise of their legal pre-emptive right, of a total amount of 500 million Euros, undertaken on 4 October 2012 at the price of €0.04 per share.
Moreover, the Bank's Articles of Association stipulate that, exclusively with respect to any possible increase or increases of share capital that might be deliberated by the Board of Directors, with the favourable opinion of the Audit Committee, through conversion of credit to which the State might be entitled as a result of execution of guarantees provided under Law no. 60-A/2008, of 20 October, and which are legally considered share capital increases in cash, the authorisation stipulated above must have a maximum, autonomous and additional limit, equal to twice the current value of the Bank's share capital or existing share capital at the time of any renewal of this authorisation, where any possible increases through conversion of State credit do not count for the effect of use of the maximum amount established above, and where any shares to be issued may be preferred shares under the legal and statutory terms.
Regarding all other competences of the Board of Directors, see Chapter II.1 subparagraph A) of this Report where they have been enumerated briefly.
There is no policy of rotation of the areas of responsibility within the Board of Directors.
The day-to-day management team - the Executive Committee - is chosen as a whole and with special focus on their respective cohesion, taking into account the capacities, qualifications and professional experience of each member, and considering that it would be counterproductive to have a rigid and abstract policy of rotation of areas of responsibility.
The action of Banco Comercial Português on this matter has been, at any given time and after careful consideration of the characteristics and personal and professional experience of each Executive Director, to proceed with the rotations deemed suitable to safeguard the interests of the Company. Therefore, the rotation of areas of responsibility has occurred with some regularity, which falls within the competence of the Board of Directors.
Miguel Bragança, Chief Financial Officer in office as at 31 December, was appointed on 1 March 2012.
The Statutory Auditor and the external auditor are elected at the General Meeting, by proposal from the Audit Committee, and in the event of the occurrence of vacancies which cannot be filled by the elected alternate members, only the General Meeting can proceed with their respective appointment through a new election. Therefore, any rotation is entrusted solely to the shareholders.
Regarding the members of the Board of Directors, which are also elected at the General Meeting, in the event of a vacancy or temporary impediment of any of these members, this body is responsible for appointing an alternate member. The appointment of directors under the circumstances described above must, imperatively, be submitted for ratification at the first General Meeting after this appointment.
See the answer to II.13.
II.13. Indication of the number of meetings of the Executive Committee or Executive Board of Directors, and reference to the drawing up of the minutes of these meetings and their remittance, accompanied by the call notices, as applicable, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, to the Chairman of the Audit Board or of the Audit Committee, to the Chairman of the General and Supervisory Board and to the Chairman of the Financial Matters Committee
During the financial year of 2012, the Board of Directors held 17 meetings, with an attendance rate of 96.20%. All absences were duly and previously justified.
During the financial year of 2012, the Executive Committee held 45 meetings, as a rule on a weekly basis, with an attendance rate of 93.33%. All absences were justified in due time.
During the financial year of 2012, the Audit Committee held 17 meetings, with an attendance rate of 100%. All absences were justified in due time.
Minutes were drawn up of all the meetings of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Audit Committee.
The supporting documentation of each meeting of the Board of Directors, including draft agendas, supporting documents and draft minutes for approval, was sent by the Company Secretary, as a rule, two business days in advance, to the members of the Board of Directors, the Supporting Office of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.
II.14. Distinction between the executive and non-executive members and, amongst them, discrimination between the members which would comply, if the rules on incompatibilities established in no. 1 of article 414-A of the Companies Code were applicable to them, with the exception stipulated in subparagraph b), and the independence criteria established in no. 5 of article 414, both of the Companies Code
The Board of Directors is currently composed of twenty-two members, of which seven are permanent and fifteen are non-permanent. The Bank considers that this composition guarantees the effective capacity to manage, supervise and assess the activities of the Executive Committee.
Of the fifteen non-executive directors, seven directors did not meet the requisites of independence, five due to being related to entities with holdings greater than 2% of the Bank's capital and two directors due to having been appointed by the State for the period of enforcement of the public investment to strengthen the Bank's own funds.
The non-executive directors qualified as independent represent a percentage of 53.33%, much higher than the minimum 25% of independent directors recommended by the CMVM. All the directors comply with the incompatibilities regime established in no. 1 of article 414-A of the Companies Code and performed their respective duties observing the duties of zeal, care and loyalty, pursuant to the high standards of professional diligence.
The chairman of the Board of Directors, the directors that compose the Audit Committee, with exception of the State representative, and the members of the Commission for Ethics and Professional Conduct are qualified as independent directors.
The process of verification of the independence of the non-executive directors is described in chapter II.15.
The non-executive directors participate in all the meetings of the Board of Directors, accompanying in this way the evolution of the activity of the Bank, being able to formulate questions to other governing bodies or internal structures of the Bank. In the performance of duties in 2012, the Board of Directors did not detect any constraints.
The adopted qualification of independence incorporates the requirements stipulated in the Bank's articles of association, in no. 5 of article 414 of the Companies Code, by reference from article 423-B, no. 3 of that diploma, as well as those of number 2 of the Corporate Governance Recommendation issued by the Bank of Portugal in the Circular Letter no. 24/2009/DSB, of 27 February 2009. The Board of Directors, in performing its duties relative to the assessment and monitoring of the structure, principles and practices of the corporate governance of the Bank confirmed the effective independence of the qualified members as independent directors.
The elected members of the Audit Committee are, under the terms of article 423-B, nos. 3, 4 and 5 of the Companies Code, subject to assessment of their independence and verification of the non-existence of situations considered incompatible with the performance of their position. Their performance must focus on a company monitoring/supervision function and, in this sense, each one is a disinterested outsider and/or an objective monitor.
At the start of the mandate, with the aim of collecting relevant information for the assessment of the abovementioned qualifications, questionnaires were prepared and sent to each Director, including the members of the Audit Committee, in order to be personally completed, signed and subsequently returned.
As a result of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 which requires detailed information in the Corporate Governance Report on the non-executive directors that would meet, if applicable to them, the rules of incompatibility provided in no. 1 of article 414-A, with the exception of that foreseen in sub-paragraph b), and the criteria of independence enshrined in no. 5 of article 414 of the Companies Code, with the aim of collecting relevant information for the assessment of the abovementioned situations, questionnaires were also prepared and sent to each member of the Board of Directors, in order to be personally completed, signed and subsequently returned.
With regards to the members of the Board of the General Meeting who are, under the provisions of article 374-A, no. 1 of the Companies Code, subject to assessment of their independence and verification of the non-existence of situations considered incompatible with the performance of their duties, each member was also sent a questionnaire in order to be personally completed, signed and subsequently returned.
The referred questionnaires serve as a basis for the collection of relevant information on the abovementioned assessment, setting out issues on requirements, in accordance with the Companies Code, which determine the quality of independence and on situations of incompatibilities enshrined in the same diploma.
The General Meeting freely elects the members of the Bank's Board of Directors, therefore the last word on the choice of directors belongs to the college of shareholders, according to article 376, no. 1, subparagraph d) of the Companies Code. The executive directors are part of the Executive Committee, appointed by the Board of Directors, to which the latter delegates the management of the Bank. The executive directors do not therefore dominate or control the selection process. The non-executive directors, namely the independent ones, perform an important internal function of monitoring and supervision of the activities of the executive directors and of the governance activity in general, with a specific focus on the prevention and management of conflicts of interest The Regulations, specifically for the non-executive directors, enables the maintenance of a proactive posture relative to management performance, questioning the decisions adopted and protecting the interests of the shareholders and other stakeholders.
The Commission for Nominations and Evaluations (Talent Management) composed of a majority of nonexecutive directors, has a relevant role in the preparation and support it provides to the Board of Directors, namely in the process of selection of candidates to fill any vacancies that may arise in that body.
Reference is made here to the Report of the Board of Directors and to the Annual Report of the Audit Committee - which are disclosed together with this Corporate Governance Report and are an integral part of the financial statements.
Annexes I and II to this Report indicate the qualifications and professional activities carried out by the members of the Board of Directors, as well as the number of company shares they owned as at 31 December 2012.
The members of the Board of Directors were elected at the General Meeting that was held on 28 February 2012.
Within the scope of the Bank's recapitalisation operation, and in conformity with the provisions in article 14, no. 2, of Law no. 63-A/2008 of 24 November (amended and republished by Law no. 4/2012 of 11 January) and in no. 2 of the Annex to the Ordinance no. 8840-B/2012, of 28 June, the Government, through Ordinance no. 15463-A/2012, published on 4 December 2012, appointed two directors as its representatives in the Bank's governing bodies.
II.19. Positions held by members of the management body in other companies, detailing those held in other companies of the same group
The positions held by members of the management board in other companies of the Group, in the interest of the Group or outside the Group, are indicated in Annex I to the present Report.
Not applicable.
On 31 May 2012, the Board of Directors submitted to the General Meeting, for deliberation with a binding character, the policy on the remuneration of the respective employees, directors, in observance of no. 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, and other employees, prepared by it and approved pursuant to article 2, no. 3 of Law no. 28/2009, also taking into consideration the applicable rules and recommendations, namely the technical criteria of point XI of the annex to DL no. 104/2007, of 3 April, introduced by article 4 of DL no. 88/2011, of 20 July, as well as the provisos of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 and Bank of Portugal Notice no. 10/2011, published in Diário da República, Series II, no. 6, of 9 January 2012, which established the recommendations and criteria to be followed in the definition of the remuneration policy to be adopted by the institutions covered by no. 1 of article 1 of Bank of Portugal Notice no. 1/2010.
The remuneration policy in force gained the approval of 99.97% of votes cast, with the meeting having been attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 41.60% of the share capital, its composition being as follows:
Framework
Within this context, the Notice nr. 1/2010, dated 26 January of Banco de Portugal, established the information that must be disclosed on the remuneration policy of the members of management and supervision bodies and of employees that, though they are not members of management and remuneration bodies, earn a variable remuneration and exercise control functions subject to Notice nr. 5/2008 dated 1 July of Banco de Portugal, exercise other professions that may have a material impact on the company's risk profile or have regular access to privileged information and take part in the management and strategy decisions of the company.
In addition, the Circular Letter nr. 2/10/DSBDR dated 1 February 2010 established the recommendations and criteria to observe in the definition of the remuneration policy to be adopted by the institutions ruled by Article 1 (1) of the Notice nr. 1/2010 of Banco de Portugal, from a "comply or explain" perspective, implying that the failure to adopt those recommendations and criteria by the supervised institutions must be duly explained.
The Remuneration Policy also took into account the transparency and adequacy goals set in what regards the evaluation and supervision requisites established by Banco de Portugal.
The Staff Management Support Department coordinated the definition of the Remuneration Policy, which involved the participation of the people in charge of the control function. The opinion issued by external consultants was also taken into consideration.
3.a) The fixed remuneration of the senior executives has to represent a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration so as to enable the application of an extremely flexible policy on the variable portion of the remuneration, admitting the possibility of not paying any variable component;
3.b) The variable component of the remuneration of the senior executives is subject to a ceiling;
3.c) The payment of a significant portion of the variable remuneration component must be made by means of financial instruments, whose valuation is connected to the medium- and long-term performance of the institution;
3.d) The quantification of the variable component of the remuneration must additionally depend on non financial criteria and must partially derive from the collective performance of the unit where the Employee works;
3.e) The variable remuneration must be attributed according to pre-determined measurable criteria and be based on a pluri-annual framework;
3.f) The payment of part of the variable remuneration must be deferred;
3.g) The amount of the variable remuneration of the Employees that exercise control functions depends on the fulfilment of the objectives related to their respective functions and not those of the areas controlled by them.
Composition of the Remuneration and Relation between the Fixed Remuneration and the Variable Remuneration
The Employees of Banco Comercial Português earn a fixed Monthly Remuneration, paid 14 times/year, based on the amounts defined in the employment agreement. The nature of each function and the respective level of demand and responsibility determine the attribution of other remuneration components, namely a supplement and/or exemption of work schedule, which must be approved by the Executive Board of Directors or by those empowered for that purpose by the EBD.
The criteria approved for the Remuneration Policy of all Employees in general also apply when determining the variable annual component of the remuneration of Coordinating Managers, Heads of units that report directly to the Executive Board of Directors, Employees of the second structure level of the Audit Department, Compliance Office, Risk Office, Rating Department, Credit Department and Treasury and Markets Department, to other employees who have regular access to privileged information and other employees who earn a fixed remuneration of 100,000 €/year or more.
The variable portion of the remuneration of the above mentioned Employees should not exceed 37.5% of the total annual remuneration.
The Executive Board of Directors may review this ceiling every year, based on the guidelines stated in the Circular Letter nr 2/10/DSBDR.
Payment of the Variable Remuneration
Deferment of the Variable Remuneration
In line with the Bank's recapitalisation plan involving public investment, regulated in article 9 of Law no. 63-A/2008, of 24 November, amended and republished by Law no. 4/2012 of 11 January, Banco Comercial Português is bound, during the duration of the public investment, by article 12 of Regulation no. 150-A/2012, regardless of the remuneration policy of its management bodies approved by the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, to establish for the set of members of the management and supervisory bodies a remuneration that, for the purpose of calculating its fixed and variable component, does not exceed 50% of the respective average remuneration of the two previous years.
The Remuneration and Welfare Board submitted to the General Meeting held on 31 May 2012, with a binding character, the Remuneration Model of the Board of Directors, including the Executive Committee, transcribed below, which was approved with 99.97% of the votes cast, and where the meeting was attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 41.60% of the share capital.
I.
1) The remuneration of the Members of the Executive Committee of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. (Millenium bcp) is composed by:
a) The Monthly Fixed Remuneration, paid 14 times a year and defined based on the Bank's position in comparison with a benchmark of Portuguese and European companies, composed by companies listed in PSI-20 with size or features similar to those of Millennium bcp and to other financial institutions located inside the European Union.
b) The Annual Variable Remuneration, to be paid in the way mentioned below.
2) This definition of this variable remuneration depends on a benchmark based on the practices of the European financial sector. According to the legal requirements imposed by the European Union and to the Portuguese recommendations, the payment of the Variable Remuneration is subject to certain conditions, namely deferment.
3) If a director takes on functions while a term-of-office is underway, the Variable Remuneration shall be adjusted to the number of months completed in office, out of the total number of months in a complete term-of-office.
The Remunerations and Welfare Board will approve the two components of the remuneration listed above.
a) The Annual Variable Remuneration cannot surpass 130% of the Annual Fixed Remuneration;
b) The variable remuneration, as a whole and for all the members of the Executive Committee, cannot surpass 2% of the net income achieved in the financial year.
The approval of the Monthly Fixed Remuneration of the Members of the Executive Committee obeys the following rules:
a) Chairman - autonomous remuneration;
b) Vice-Chairmen – amount computed based on a percentage of the Chairman's Monthly Fixed Remuneration, varying between 70% and 80% of that remuneration; The Monthly Fixed Remuneration of each Vice-chairman may be the same or different, taking into consideration his seniority in the position
and his performance assessment, to be approved by the Remunerations and Welfare Board pursuant to a proposal made by the Chairman of the Executive Committee;
c) Members – amount computed based on a percentage of the Chairman's Monthly Fixed Remuneration, varying between 60% and 70% of that remuneration, computed according to the criteria described in the previous paragraph for the Vice-Chairmen's Monthly Fixed Remuneration;
d) The Monthly Fixed Remuneration of the Members of the Executive Committee may be updated and/or raised pursuant to a proposal from the Remunerations and Welfare Board. These updates and/or rises must take into consideration the updates / rises given to Coordinating Managers.
V.
The Annual Variable Remuneration of the Members of the Executive Committee shall depend on the earnings resulting from the Group's economic performance, and be established by the Remunerations and Welfare Board in the same manner for all the Members of the Executive Committee.
The Annual Variable Remuneration is computed based on the degree of objective fulfilment of the Group's results, which will determine the percentage to be earned by the member of the Executive Committee as follows:
TABLE 1

a) Group's Income – for all the members of the Executive Committee.
a. 1): The amounts may vary between 0 and 130% of the Annual Fixed Remuneration, being computed based on the fulfilment of the financial 'objectives' set forth for that financial year;
a. 2): The assessment of each objective must be made taking into consideration its relative fulfilment in comparison with the BEBANKS in terms of value for the shareholder and in comparison with the budget for other indicators. The 'Objectives' for Group earnings are computed as follows:

a. 3): In case of extraordinary events, caused by factors outside the control of the management, the annual objectives set forth may be revised pursuant to a proposal made by the Chairman of the Executive Committee and its approval by the Remunerations and Welfare Board.
b) It is hereby created a scheme that defers the payment of the variable remuneration for periods of 3 years, which corresponds to the duration of the directors' term-of-office.
50 % of the Annual Variable Remuneration shall be deferred.
The amount deferred shall be paid half in cash and half in shares. 1/3 of the total amount deferred shall be paid to the director at the completion of each year in office.
For one year after the date of the payment of the Variable Remuneration in shares the EBD members cannot transfer or encumber those shares. After that lock up period, the shares will be fully transferable.
The amount of the Variable Remuneration that is not deferred shall be paid 50% in cash immediately and 50% in shares that cannot be transferred or encumbered for one year;
c) The incentive system applicable to the members of the Executive Committee subject to the deferred payment of the Variable Remuneration will incorporate provisions (bad actor provisions) for reduction or elimination of deferred variable pay as a result of the following actions carried out during the mandate of each director:
Performance Remuneration
These provisions and the impact they may have on releasing the deferred parts of the Variable Remuneration shall be evaluated by the Remunerations and Welfare Board on a yearly basis.
VI.
Every member of the Executive Committee will sign a document in which he/she agrees not to enter into any hedging or risk-transfer agreements regarding any components of the deferred Variable remuneration that may minimise the effects of the risk underlying the remuneration system.
The Members of the Executive Committee are only entitled to the compensations disclosed and shall receive no additional compensations for their functions.
Hence, given that the remuneration of the Members of the Executive Committee is aimed at the direct compensation of the activities they carry out at the Bank and that for all duties performed at companies or corporate bodies to which they have been nominated by indication or in representation of the Bank, in this last case, the net value of the remunerations received annually for such duties by each Member of the Executive Committee will be deducted from their respective Annual Fixed Remuneration. It is the obligation and responsibility of each Member of the Executive Committee to inform the Bank of any additional compensations which might have been received, for the purposes of the procedure established above.
The existing benefits in terms of health insurance, credit card and mobile phones remain in effect, being the Chairman of the Executive Committee responsible for authorizing them.
Company vehicles do not fall under the competence of the Remunerations and Welfare Board and therefore the limits to their value shall be determined by the Executive Committee, taking into account the practice followed by other credit institutions of an equivalent size. The Remunerations and Welfare Board must be previously informed of this value.
Regarding the regulations for retirement on account of old age or disability of the Members of the Executive Committee, they are presently enshrined in the company's Articles of Association and in the Regulations that execute it, both approved at the Annual General Meeting of 2010."
The Model of Remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, also transcribed below, was also submitted with a binding character to the General Meeting held on 18 April 2011, and was also approved by a majority of 99.94% of the votes cast, and where the meeting was attended by shareholders or their representatives holding 52.57% of the share capital.
The Remunerations Policy applicable to the corporate bodies of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. must be simple, transparent and competitive, thus ensuring the focus on the creation of added value for the shareholders and stakeholders.
Such remuneration must be set bearing in mind the effort towards greater alignment with the interests of Banco Comercial Português and of its shareholders.
Thus, bearing in mind the principles listed above, as well as the practices of large Portuguese companies and the European practices, the responsibilities and functions of the members of the Board of Directors and the present market conditions, the Remuneration and Welfare Board adopted the following rules:
The remuneration of the Board of Directors shall be composed by a fixed annual amount, paid in twelve instalments. The remuneration of the remaining Members of the Board of Directors shall be computed based on a percentage of the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, never surpassing it.
Chairman: autonomous remuneration;
Vice-Chairmen: between 50% and 75% of the Chairman's remuneration;
Chairman of the Audit Committee: between 50% and 75% of the Chairman's remuneration;
Other members of the Audit Committee: between 25% and 50% of the Chairman's remuneration;
Chairman of another Specialized Committee: between 25% and 75% of the Chairman's remuneration;
Other members of another Specialized Committee: between 10% and 25% of the Chairman's remuneration;
Other members of the Board of Directors not part of a Specialized Committee: between 10% and 25% of the Chairman's remuneration;
The remuneration of the Board of Directors does not include a variable remuneration or the attribution of shares as remuneration."
II.31. Indication of the annual value of the remuneration earned individually by the members of the management and supervisory bodies of the company, including fixed and variable remuneration and, relative to it, reference to its different components, the deferred portion and portion which has already been paid

(*) Resulting from the methodology imposed by the National Board of Financial Supervisors regarding the framework for the transfer of bank employees to the Social Security General Regime (DL 1-A/2011) the past liabilities with retirement benefits, for some employees, are higher than total liabilities, which is why the pension costs are negative for the target population, representing a profit for the Bank.
p) Estimate of the value of the relevant non-pecuniary benefits considered as remuneration not covered in the previous situations
There are no benefits under the conditions referred to above.
q) Existence of mechanisms preventing the directors from signing contracts which place in question the underlying rationale of the variable remuneration
The level of supervision of the activity of the Executive Committee, both by the Board of Directors and by the Audit Committee (which, it should be recalled, is the first receiver of the Internal and External Audit reports) provided mechanisms that are sufficient and adequate to the objective considered in this point.
Although the inclusion of the information provided below is not compulsory in this Report, Banco Comercial Português believes that, since it is an integral part of the financial statements, this is the most appropriate place to disclose the information referred to in Bank of Portugal Notice number 10/2011, when it is not presented in other numbers of this Report.
Hence, we disclose that:
1 - No provisions have been constituted for the payment of variable remuneration to executive members of the Board of Directors.

It should be noted that these values have already been included in the amounts disclosed in points 2 and 6 above. In 2012 no variable remuneration was paid to these Employees.
The remuneration of the non-executive directors consists of a fixed sum, not including any variable component, the setting of the amount is carried out for each director, taking into account, namely, his/her participation in Specialised Committees of the Board of Directors, medium and long-term interests of the Bank and the non-incentive to excessive risk-taking.
II.35. Information on the policy on the communication of irregular practices adopted by the company (means of communication, persons with legitimacy to receive the communications, treatment to be made of the communications and indication of the persons and bodies with access to the information and respective intervention in the procedure)
Any Employee of Banco Comercial Português (or companies included in the Group) who becomes aware of any situation or action that might indicate irregularities is responsible for reporting such events to the head of the organic unit of the Employee(s) in question, who shall simultaneously inform the hierarchy, leading to their joint appraisal of the occurrence and deliberation on its forwarding to the Audit Department of Banco Comercial Português, for the pursuit of all measures deemed necessary.
Whenever the detected irregularities concern employees part of the Audit Department, the reporting must be made directly to the Chairman of the Executive Committee, who will conduct all diligences deemed necessary by using means that do not belong to that department and will give cognisance of the same to the Audit Committee.
For the purpose of adopting the best corporate governance practices and strengthening the culture of responsibility and compliance that has always guided the Group's action, a system has been established for the communication of irregularities, namely for situations where communication via hierarchy might not achieve the intended objectives, which replaces the employee and relieves this employee from reporting the irregularity to the head of the department of the employee(s) in question.
For this purpose, an electronic email address has been specifically created, exclusively to receive the communication of alleged irregularities ([email protected]) that have occurred within the Group that are to be forwarded and managed by the Audit Committee.
In the event of the communication being related to any member of the Board of Directors or of any of its specialised committees or commissions, it should be sent to the Chairman of the Board of Directors through a specific electronic mail address ([email protected]).
The Audit Committee and the Audit Department decide on the treatment given to the communications received, namely concerning the need for additional investigation or submission of any disciplinary proceedings.
II.36. Identification of the members of the commissions constituted for the effects of the assessment of the individual and overall performance of the Executive Directors, reflection on the governance system adopted by the company and identification of potential candidates with the profile for the position of director
See points II.1. D) and II.2. E).
II.37. Number of meetings of the commissions constituted with competence in management and supervisory matters during the financial year in question, and reference to the drawing up of the minutes of these meetings
See point II.2.
II.38. Reference to the fact of a member of the remuneration commission having knowledge and experience on matters of remuneration policy
The curricula and professional activities of the members of the Remuneration and Welfare Board, in office in 2012, presented in Annex IV to the present report, show their respective experience and knowledge.
II.39. Reference to the independence of the natural or legal persons contracted by the Remuneration Commission through a work or service contract relative to the Board of Directors as well as, when applicable, to the fact that these persons have a current relationship with a consultant of the company
At the time of the contracting of Mercer Portugal – Recursos Humanos, Lda. promoted by the Remuneration and Welfare Board, the Board of Directors together with the Remuneration and Welfare Board deliberated requesting from this firm the analysis of the policy on remuneration of the Directors of the Bank, for the purpose of ensuring consistency in the policies to be implemented and streamlining of costs related to consultants.
For this reason, and since neither this consultant nor any of its senior staff maintain any privileged relations with the Board of Directors or any of its members, it is deemed that its contracting for the provision of the service with the broad scope referred to in the preceding paragraph can in no manner affect the independence of this consultant in relation to the Bank or its Board of Directors.
All the shares issued by Banco Comercial Português are tradable, of a single category and confer the same rights and duties. Consequently, there are no shareholders with special rights.

There are no shareholders with special rights.
III.4. Any restrictions to the transferability of the shares, such as clauses of consent for sale or limitations to the ownership of shares
There are no statutory restrictions to the free transferability of shares.
III.5. Shareholders' agreements that are known to the company and could lead to restrictions on matters of the transmission of securities or voting rights
The company is not aware of the existence of any shareholders' agreements that limit the ability to transfer the securities or condition the exercise of voting rights.
III.6. Rules applicable to the alteration of the articles of association of the company
A) Constitutive quorum – Article 24 of the Articles of Association
The General Meeting may deliberate, on first call, only when the shareholders present or represented own over one third of the share capital.
On second call, the General Meeting may be held and deliberate independently of the number of shareholders present or represented and amount of share capital they correspond to.
B) Deliberative quorum – Article 25 of the Articles of Association
The deliberative quorum required under the Bank's articles of association corresponds to the legal requirement, that is, whether the Meeting is held on first or second call, any amendments to the Articles of Association must be approved by two thirds of the votes cast. Under the terms of article 49 of the Articles of Association, a majority of three quarters of the paid-up share capital is required for deliberation on the dissolution of the Company.
No system whatsoever has been established with these characteristics. The workers holding shares are not discriminated, due to their capacity as such, and hence benefit from the same rights as any other shareholder.

If the auditor provides any of the services described in sub-paragraphs c) and d), a description should be made of the means to safeguard the independence of the auditor. For the effects of this information, the
Monitoring of the activity of the Group Auditor, KPMG & Associados, SROC, S.A. (KPMG) is ensured by the Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, which is also responsible for proposing the election and appointment of the Group Auditor to the General Meeting, as well as issuing its opinion on Auditor independence conditions and other relations between the Auditor and the Group.
As was the case in previous years, the abovementioned monitoring is achieved through regular contact with KPMG, which includes the participation of the Statutory Auditor in the monthly meetings of the Audit Committee and enables the timely discussion by the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of situations and criteria arising from the audit work.
In 2012, the statutory auditor of Banco Comercial Português - KPMG - earned a total of 2,935,571.00 Euros in Portugal, of which 175,480.00 Euros refer to "Tax Consultancy Services" and "Services other than legal revier or audit", corresponding to 6% of the total.
In 2012 KPMG earned a total of 1,272,160.00 Euros in the foreign subsidiaries, of which 39,826.00 Euros refer to "Tax Consultancy Services" and "Services other than legal review or audit", corresponding to 3.16% of the total. Thus, in consolidated results, i.e. including the international operations, this percentage accounts for 5.1% of the total services provided by the external auditor, being thus within the standards recommended by the CMVM (<30%).
The table below illustrates, in summary form, the activity of the external auditor in Portugal and Abroad in 2012.
| Portugal | % | Abroad | % | Total | % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal accounts review services | 1.828.091,00 | 779.686,00 | 2.607.777,00 | |||
| Other guarantee and reliability services | 932.000,00 | 452.648,00 | 1.384.648,00 | |||

The values of the "Legal accounts review services" include provisions constituted in 2012, for payment of services provided relative to that financial year and that shall be invoiced in 2013.
A description is presented below of the main services included in each category of services provided by KPMG, relative to 31 December 2012.
Includes the fees charged by KPMG relative to the auditing and legal review of the consolidated accounts of the Group and its various companies on an individual basis, auditing of subsidiaries for consolidation purposes and other services associated to the legal review of the accounts relative to 31 December and the limited review relative to 30 June.
Includes the fees charged by KPMG relative to the provision of services that, in view of their characteristics, are related to the auditing work and should, in many cases, be provided by statutory auditors, namely: issue of comfort letters and opinions on specific subjects (internal control pursuant to Notice no. 5/2008, safeguarding of assets pursuant to the provisions of the CMVM, services related to verification of the sustainability report and other permitted accountancy services).
Includes the fees charged by KPMG relative to tax advisory services provided to the Group for the review of the tax obligations of the different companies in Portugal and abroad.
Includes the fees charged by KPMG relative to services other than legal review services, permitted in accordance with the defined rules of independence and subject to monitoring by the Audit Committee.
Millennium bcp maintains a very strict policy of independence so as to prevent any conflicts of interest in the use of the services of its external auditors. As auditor of the BCP Group, KPMG complies with the rules on independence defined by the Group, including those established by the 8th Directive of the European Commission, reviewed by Directive 2006/43/EC of Parliament and the Council of 17 May 2006, partially transposed into Portuguese Legislation by Decree-Law no. 224/2008, of 20 November, in addition to the rules on independence defined by KPMG, through the application of the International Standards on Auditing issued by the International Federation of Accountants.
In order to safeguard the independence of the Auditor, and pursuant to the national and international good practices and standards, series of regulatory principles were approved through the Bank's Audit Committee, as described below:
KPMG and the companies or legal persons belonging to it ("Network") cannot provide services to the Bank or Group, which are deemed forbidden under the rules referred to above;
Although it is generally considered that the independence of external auditors could be affected by the provision to the Group of services unrelated to legal review or audit, the Audit Committee identified a set of services that may be undertaken by the external auditors without jeopardising their independence. These services are authorised by the Group Compliance Officer and subject to the ratification of the Audit Committee.
KPMG is responsible for ensuring that these services do not place in question its independence as auditor of the BCP Group. The requirements on the auditor's independence are determined based on a combination of the BCP Group's policies on the independence of the external auditors, on the national rules of each country, when they are more demanding, and on the internal rules of KPMG. Once a year, KPMG reports to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee on all the measures established to safeguard its independence as auditor of the BCP Group.
KPMG has implemented a system at an international level, called "Sentinel", which conditions the provision of services by any office of the entire KPMG Network to the authorisation of the "Global Lead Partner" responsible for the customer. This procedure implies that the KPMG Units from which the service in question is requested must obtain previous authorisation from the said Global Lead Partner. This request includes the presentation of justifications for the work requested, in particular, the factors which enable assessment of compliance with the applicable risk management rules and, consequently, of the independence of KPMG.
The Global Lead Partner is also responsible for verifying that service proposals presented through "Sentinel" comply with service pre-approval rules and, when applicable, proceeds with any necessary diligences before the Audit Committee, with a view to strict compliance with applicable independence rulings.
All the employees of KPMG undertake to comply with the rules on independence defined in the Risk Management Manual of KPMG International, and to fully comply with the rules established by the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors and, when applicable, of the Independence Standards Board and other regulatory entities.
All KPMG professionals are responsible for maintaining their independence, being obliged to review their financial interests, as well as their personal and professional relationships on a regular basis, so as to ensure strict compliance with the requirements on the independence of KPMG and their profession. KPMG employees are forbidden from collaborating with any other entities or organisations (customers or not), such as directors, executives, independent professionals or employees.
In order to ensure its independence and that of its professionals, both in fact and substance, KPMG has developed an application – KPMG Independence Compliance System (KICS) – which includes information relative to the rules on independence, a search engine to access the list of restricted entities, in which its employees cannot hold financial interests and a reporting system for the financial investments of its employees, where each professional records the name of the financial interests owned. In this way, this application meets the requirements of AICPA on independence, without compromising privacy policies.
All KPMG professionals are required to issue an annual statement of independence, signed on the occasion of their recruitment and renewed on an annual basis, where they undertake not to acquire financial interests, directly or indirectly, in KPMG customers, keep all information they might have access to confidential and avoid any relationships with customer employees which might compromise the independence and objectiveness of KPMG.
With a view to guaranteeing the quality of its services provided to its customers, KPMG annually promotes the quality control of its activities, which essentially consists of the following aspects:
Review of each activity by the team involved, allowing identification of areas requiring additional work on a particular component of the customer's financial demonstrations, before the work in question is concluded;
Annual review, by a team of KPMG's more experienced professionals, of a representative sample of its customers' documents, with a view to ensuring that the planning of the work was carried out in the most effective manner, that the information collected during this phase allowed for the structuring and design of adequate and substantive internal control tests, and permitted ensuring the analysis of all risk areas identified in the work planning phases.
In addition to the quality control activities continuously carried out by the professionals at the offices in Portugal, KPMG also promotes, on an annual basis, quality audits of the general and risk evaluation procedures and of the quality of the work executed. The staff of the international offices of KPMG, who are suitably trained to carry out these control activities, performs these audits.
These control activities permit the sharing and harmonisation of KPMG knowledge at a world level, allowing for the identification of risk and use of specific risk analysis and mitigation tools that have been developed in other countries. The quality assessment and control procedures performed by the staff at the offices in Portugal and abroad are supported by an information technology tool especially developed for this purpose.
The aforementioned monitoring is achieved through regular contact with KPMG, allowing the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee to discuss solutions and criteria resulting from audit activities in a timely manner.
Decree-Law no. 224/2008, of 20 November, in no. 2 of article 54, establishes that the maximum period for the performance of audit duties by the Partner responsible for the supervision or direct implementation of the legal certification of accounts is seven years, counting from the date of his appointment. On the other hand, the recommendation of the CMVM Corporate Governance Code stipulates that the maintenance of the External Auditor beyond the rotation period should be justified in
a specific opinion of the supervisory body which explicitly weighs up the conditions of independence of the auditor and advantages and costs of his replacement, an opinion which was submitted to the Annual General Meeting, which was elective and was held on 18 April 2011.
The internal supervision conducted by the Audit Committee concerning the independence of the External Auditor, namely with respect to the provision of additional services, as well as the respective assessment of his performance over the term of office, concluded that the duties of the External Auditor were performed adequately, showing professionalism and quality in the work carried out.
