German economy 2020 – looking for the turn-around
| › | After shrinking slightly in Q2 2019, real GDP recovered moderately in H2. | DAX | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current development |
› | The service sector is still holding up significantly better than manufacturing. This divergence points to subdued external demand as the main reason of recent weak growth. In contrast, the ECB's monetary policy is still supporting domestic demand. However, investment has weakened recently and the increase of employment has slowed, too. |
10,957 | (avg. p.a.) | 10,196 | 12,431 | 12,272 | 12,103 | 13,700 | |
| › | Given the still low readings of sentiment indicators there are no signs yet for a fast turn-around. |
2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020e | |||
| Our expectation for 2020 |
› | In Q1 there will be some negative effects of the outbreak of the corona virus. However, this will probably prove as a temporary issue. In the further course of the year somewhat stronger demand in some parts of the world economy (especially in emerging markets) will probably help global as well as German manufacturing Nevertheless, we are unlikely to experience a classical cyclical upswing. |
-0.02 | Euribor (avg. p.a. %) -0.26 |
||||||
| › | The growth rate of the German economy in 2020 (Commerzbank forecast: 0.8%) will be higher than in 2019 (0.6%) only because of a higher number of working days. In 2021 growth will probably still be anaemic with an increase of real GDP by 0.8% yoy. |

| › | The export oriented German economy is suffering especially from rising protectionism initiated by the US government. |
GDP | (change vs. previous year %) | Germany Eurozone |
||||||
| Risks in the long-run |
› | Germany's competitiveness within the Euro area has eroded over the past years. The negative consequences have already become visible. The auto industry e.g. has shifted part of its production abroad. |
2.2 | 1.8 | 2.6 2.5 |

Loan and deposit development

- › Loan growth in Private and Small Business Customers mainly driven by residential mortgage business in Germany and mBank's loan book
- › Increased loan volumes in International Corporates and Mittelstand

Significant NII potential in scenario of rising interest rates

- › Year 1 effect of ~€550-600m driven by short-end rates due to large stock of overnight (excess) deposits
- › Thereof ~1/2 stem from leaving the negative interest rate territory
- › Year 4 effect of ~€950-1,000m driven by higher reinvestment yield of modelled deposits used to refinance longer term loans

IAS 19: Development of pension obligations

Additional information
- › Pension obligations increased YtD due to a decrease in the discount rate. This effect could be compensated through an increased market value of plan assets (LDI approach)
- › YtD OCI capital effect of -€179m after tax
- › The IAS19 discount rate is derived from a AA rated corporate bond basket yield with average duration of 18 years
- › The average funding ratio (plan assets vs. pension obligations) of all Group plans is 94.8%
- › Since 2013, hedge via plan assets dampened the obligation increase of €3,084m to a cumulated OCI capital effect of -€1,052m

Slight net positive impact on CET1 ratio from FX effects

Explanation
- › Positive impact on capital ratio due to lower Credit Risk RWA from USD weakening as well as due to increasing currency translation reserve for PLN:
- QoQ the EUR strengthened by +3.2% against the USD resulting in -€0.8bn lower Credit Risk RWA, which was only partly compensated by a slightly decreased currency translation reserve by -€57m
- Major impact from increasing currency translation reserve for PLN with only minor impacts on Credit Risk RWA

- › Rating profile with a share of 90% in investment grade ratings
- › Vintages of recent years developed more favourably so far and NPEs remain at a low level
- › Due to risk-oriented selection very low RD
- › As a consequence of low interest rates, repayment rates remain on a very high level
- › Average "Beleihungsauslauf" (BLA) in new business of 83% in Q4/2019. German BLA is more conservative than the internationally used LtV definition due to the application of the strict German Pfandbrief law

Risk parameters on very good level, loan decisions remain conservative

This presentation contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts; they include, inter alia, statements about Commerzbank's beliefs and expectations and the assumptions underlying them. These statements are based on plans, estimates, projections and targets as they are currently available to the management of Commerzbank. Forward-looking statements therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and Commerzbank undertakes no obligation to update any of them in light of new information or future events. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could therefore cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, among others, the conditions in the financial markets in Germany, in Europe, in the United States and elsewhere from which Commerzbank derives a substantial portion of its revenues and in which it hold a substantial portion of its assets, the development of asset prices and market volatility, potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties, the implementation of its strategic initiatives and the reliability of its risk management policies.
In addition, this presentation contains financial and other information which has been derived from publicly available information disclosed by persons other than Commerzbank ("external data"). In particular, external data has been derived from industry and customer-related data and other calculations taken or derived from industry reports published by third parties, market research reports and commercial publications. Commercial publications generally state that the information they contain has originated from sources assumed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and that the calculations contained therein are based on a series of assumptions. The external data has not been independently verified by Commerzbank. Therefore, Commerzbank cannot assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the external data taken or derived from public sources.
