Statement by the CEO

Ambitious agenda for 2021 and several new partners

The fourth quarter marked the start of Resurs transformation journey to ensure the long-term competitiveness, sustainability and profitability of the bank. Resurs Bank will be a more datadriven and tech-oriented financial player in 2021. One of the first steps was to raise our sights and review our work methods to better capitalise on the synergies that are now being created through the new Nordic organisation. The more data-driven and agile work method of product development in autonomous teams that was implemented in the autumn immediately generated results in the form of a new version of our bank app, which has been developed in house, and now makes it even easier for our customers to manage their commitments with Resurs. Another part of the transformation journey is more intense focus on sustainability, and a business-driven Nordic Sustainability Manager was recruited in the second half of the year with the task of pursuing and developing our Nordic sustainability agenda.

The review of the balance sheet conducted in connection with the start of the transformation journey identified an impairment requirement of SEK 48 million, of which SEK 38 million referred to previously capitalised IT investments. The transformation journey also resulted in personnel changes and reductions, which cost SEK 22 million. Nonrecurring costs for the second half of the year totalled SEK 70 million. These measures are creating the conditions necessary for ensuring that important business-driven IT projects and solutions can be carried out in the next few years.

Several new partners and positive signs in Norway

The total lending declined 2 per cent year-on-year. The restrictive credit assessment that Resurs introduced in Q1 2020 remained fully in place and restricted growth. At the same time, the proactive measures are in line with the sustainable credit lending that is fundamental to Resurs’s operations and ensure that customers do not borrow more than their personal financial situation permits. We continued to see no changed to our customers’ payment patterns. Excluding the Norwegian market and sale of the NPL portfolio, the increase in lending in constant currencies was 11 per cent. The Norwegian market remained challenging, at the same time as there were signs that the efforts made to develop more attractive offerings have been positively received.

Demand in Payment Solutions varied greatly between different industries and markets, which was an effect of the restrictions imposed to reduce the spread of contagion in retail stores. However, a broad diversification in Nordic retail gave us important resilience and an ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries that performed relatively better. During the year, we continued to develop our e-commerce offering and in 2020 we entered into partnerships with 75 new e-commerce players. During the second half of the year, a new partnership was also initiated with Uno-X in Denmark and the company’s nationwide chain of 248 unmanned petrol stations. We could also welcome back HiFi-klubben, with more than 20 stores in Norway and Sweden, after a couple of years with a competitor.

High confidence in the capital market

In line with our strategy of long-term diversified financing, we extended our ABS financing with JP Morgan Chase Bank during the second half of the year. We applied the same strategy to the management of our non-performing loans, selling receivables for a gross amount of slightly more than SEK 500 million. The sale reduced our capital requirements and positively impacted liquidity, but ultimately had a neutral effect on earnings. Being able to carry out these transactions, given the market conditions, shows the confidence that the capital market has in Resurs.

I am impressed by how quickly the business has been able to change and adapt to meet both external challenges and internal change processes in these exceptional times. This gives us self-confidence now as we look ahead and switch focus in order to strengthen Resurs’s competitiveness and deliver growth in the long term with an even clearer sustainability approach. We will become a more data-driven and tech-oriented financial company by offering the most innovative services and products in the Nordic market that create business and customer value as well as value for shareholders.

Group results*

Second half of 2020, July–December

Operating income

The Group’s operating income declined 6 per cent in line with the trend in lending to SEK 1,658 million (1,768). The relatively lower income was mainly due to the decline in Norway, and mix effects in Payment Solutions where many of Resurs’s retail finance partners managed relatively well during the pandemic, with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin. Net interest income fell 6 per cent to SEK 1,377 million (1,466), with interest income amounting to SEK 1,570 million (1,681) and interest expense to SEK -194 (-214). Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 212 million (248) and fee & commission expense to SEK -34 million (-32), resulting in a total net commission for the banking operations of SEK 178 million (216). The lower net commission was due in its entirety to the effects of COVID-19, attributable to lower credit card income, loan commission and lower factoring income.

Net income from financial transactions was SEK -8 million (-29) and was charged with a nonrecurring cost of SEK 10 million for impairment of a small unlisted limited company. Other operating income, primarily comprising remuneration from lending operations, amounted to SEK 111 million (115).

Operating expenses

The Group’s expenses before credit losses for the second half of 2020 increased year-on-year to SEK -700 million (-673). The half-year was charged with nonrecurring costs of SEK 60 million related to the transformation journey, of which SEK 22 million was costs related to personnel reductions and SEK 38 million to capitalised IT investments. Excluding nonrecurring costs, costs declined 5 per cent to SEK 640 million due to continuing good cost control. Viewed in relation to the operations’ income, the cost level before credit losses amounted to 38.4 per cent (38.1) excluding nonrecurring costs.

Credit losses totalled SEK -390 million (-367) and the credit loss ratio was 2.5 per cent (2.4 per cent). Excluding nonrecurring effects of SEK 35 million in H2 2019, the comparative figures are SEK -332 million and 2.2 per cent, respectively. Excluding nonrecurring effects, credit losses for the half-year increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the previously higher growth in lending. The bank has not yet seen any changed payment patterns among its customers due to COVID-19. The riskadjusted NBI margin totalled 8.2 per cent (9.1 percent). In addition to the effect of the previously higher growth in lending, the lower margin was mainly due to changes to the mix in Payment Solutions.

Profit

Operating profit fell to SEK 568 million (728), and excluding nonrecurring costs amounted to SEK 638 million. Net profit for the period fell 30 per cent to SEK 397 million (568). Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -171 million (-160). During the half-year, the Swedish Tax Agency rejected a deduction for calculated tax of nearly SEK 31 million attributable to the operations of the Norwegian branch due to the merger between the former yA Bank and Resurs Bank in December 2018. Resurs does not share the Agency’s opinion and has appealed the decision. For precautionary reasons, earnings were still charged SEK 31 million in the second half of the year.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Operating income and expenses

The Group’s operating income declined 2 per cent in line with the trend in lending to SEK 3,407 million (3,478). The relatively lower income was mainly due to the continued decline in Norway, and mix effects in Payment Solutions. Net interest income fell 1 per cent to SEK 2,844 million (2,887), with interest income amounting to SEK 3,251 million (3,304) and interest expense to SEK -407 (-417). Fee & commission income amounted to SEK 425 million (469) and fee & commission expense to SEK -64 million (-60), resulting in a total net commission for the banking operations of SEK 361 million (408). The lower net commission was due in its entirety to the effects of COVID-19, attributable to lower credit card income, loan commission and lower factoring income.

SEK 1,186 million Operating profit for the year

Viewed in relation to the operations’ income, the cost level excluding nonrecurring costs continued to improve and amounted to 38.3 per cent (38.7 per cent). Credit losses totalled SEK -854 million (-669) and the credit loss ratio was 2.7 per cent (2.3 per cent). Excluding nonrecurring costs, credit losses totalled SEK 779 million (634) and the credit loss ratio was 2.5 per cent (2.1 per cent). Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was an effect of the previously higher growth in lending. The risk-adjusted NBI margin was 8.2 per cent (9.5 per cent), and excluding nonrecurring costs the margin amounted to 8.5 per cent (9.6 per cent).

Profit

Operating profit totalled SEK 1,186 million (1,463), with the decline primarily attributable to higher credit losses. Net profit for the period fell 23 per cent to SEK 880 million (1,136). Tax expense for the period amounted to SEK -306 million (-326).

COVID-19

An extra forward-looking credit provision of SEK 75 million was made in the first half-year to meet potential higher credit losses, in addition to the model-based reserves, in accordance with IFRS 9. It remains difficult to assess the effects of COVID-19 on Resurs’s operations. The company has not yet noted any negative trend in customers’ payment patterns. We continue to believe that the risk of default could be negatively affected from the, which has been taken into consideration in the extra credit provision. Uncertainty about the future declined, but remains high as regards rising unemployment and the risk of lower solvency, but the overall assessment is that no additional credit loss reserves need to be made at present due to COVID-19.

Resurs took action at an early stage of COVID-19 to introduce temporary austerity measures in credit lending in Consumer Loans in order to ensure continued high control of the risk level, which reduced the risk in new lending in all markets, with the associated declining volumes. In addition to this, new lending in Finland was primarily negatively affected by interest limitation and direct marketing regulations that were temporarily introduced in early Q3 2020. The direct effect on the Group’s earnings was mainly related to the decline in the travel industry, which in turn has negatively impacted and is expected to continue to impact credit card commission and currency exchange fees negatively, while lower factoring activity resulted in lower commissions.

RESURS BANK

Financial position on 31 December 2020*

Comparative figures for this section refer to 31 December 2019, except for cash flow for which the comparative figure refers to the same period in the preceding year.

The Group has a strong financial position and on 31 December 2020 the capital base amounted to SEK 5,367 million (5,071) in the consolidated situation, comprising the Parent Company, Resurs Holding, and the Resurs Bank Group. The total capital ratio was 17.4 per cent (16.3 per cent) and the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 15.1 per cent (13.6 per cent).

Due to COVID-19, the authorities decided in spring 2020 to reduce the regulatory minimum capital requirement in the countercyclical capital buffer. This entails a total reduction of about 1.8 percentage points to 0.2 per cent for Resurs.

Lending to the public amounted to SEK 30,858 million (31,345) on 31 December 2020, representing a decrease of 2 per cent and excluding currency effects an increase of 2 per cent. The specification of lending on 31 December 2020 was as follows: Sweden 49 per cent, Norway 21 per cent, Denmark 13 per cent and Finland 17 per cent. The weaker lending performance was the result of lower lending in Norway, NPL sale that negatively impacted lending by about 1 per cent and a weaker NOK.

In addition to capital from shareholders and bond investors, the operations are financed by deposits from the public. The Group is working actively on various sources of financing to create and maintain a diversified financing for the long term.

On 31 December 2020, deposits from the public totalled SEK 24,872 million (24,848). The bank has deposits in SEK, NOK and EUR. Financing through issued securities totalled SEK 6,297 million (7,672). Liquidity remained healthy and the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 288 per cent (264 per cent) in the consolidated situation. The minimum statutory LCR is 100 per cent. Lending to credit institutions on 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 3,819 million (4,037). Holdings of treasury and other bills eligible for refinancing, as well as bonds and other interest-bearing securities, totalled SEK 2,953 million (2,615). Bonds of a nominal SEK 1,300 million were issued under Resurs Bank’s MTN programme in 2020. In the autumn, the bank also extended its ABS financing with JP Morgan Chase Bank with a financial framework of SEK 2 billion. The bank has a high level of liquidity for meeting its future commitments.

Intangible assets amounted to SEK 1,847 million (2,020), and primarily comprised the goodwill that arose in the acquisition of Finaref and Danaktiv in 2014 and yA Bank in 2015.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 1,214 million (967) for the period and the net change in investment assets was SEK -397 million (-780). Cash flow from investing activities for the period totalled SEK -57 million (-81) and cash flow from financing activities was SEK -1,377 million (-405).

Payment Solutions

Stability despite a turbulent business environment

Second half of 2020, July–December

The coronavirus pandemic continued to impact the second half of the year, primarily in the form of another lockdown in Denmark and Norway, which had a negative effect on retail. However, Payment Solutions’ broad diversification in Nordic retail provided important resilience and a strong ability to offset industries with falling demand with other industries where demand remained intact. Another positive development was that many of Resurs’s retail finance partners managed relatively well with unchanged, and in some cases higher, demand. At the same time, these partnerships involve lower margins, which negatively impacted the overall NBI margin.

The use of Supreme Card was lower due to cancelled travel and restaurant visits. A number of measures were continuously carried out during the year to reduce the effects, for example, redirecting communication to focus more on purchases for staycations and home improvements, together with greater flexibility for partial loan payments.

During the year, Resurs’s e-commerce offering continued to be developed, which was well received by the market among both existing and new partners. In 2020, partnerships were signed with 75 new e-commerce players. During the second half of the year, a new partnership was also initiated with Uno-X in Denmark and the company’s nationwide chain of 248 unmanned petrol stations. The new loyalty card solution now offered to Uno-X’s customers allows them to use MobilePay via Uno-X’s app to pay for petrol quickly and easily. It was also gratifying that a former partner, HiFi-klubben, with more than 20 stores in Norway and Sweden, has returned to Resurs after a couple of years with a competitor.

The launch of Gekås Ullared’s new loyalty card produced by Resurs is scheduled for February 2021 but almost 10,000 new users signed up for the new card in the fourth quarter alone. The partnership with Mekonomen Group continued with the broad roll-out of Resurs Checkout, whose push function makes it easier for customer to pay directly via the mobile.

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 declined 4 per cent to SEK 10,994 million (11,426), and in constant currencies lending declined 1 per cent year-on-year. Weaker lending was mainly due to COVID-19 and a continued declining trend in Norway.

Operating income amounted to SEK 676 million (778), down 13 per cent compared with the yearearlier period. The lower earnings were attributable mainly to the negative performance in Norway, mix effects with larger partners growing quicker due to the pandemic as well as lower fee & commission income primarily attributable to COVID-19. Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 562 million (653). The risk-adjusted NBI margin was 10.3 per cent (11.6 per cent), mainly due to changes in the customer mix.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 declined 4 per cent to SEK 10,994 million (11,426). Operating income amounted to SEK 1,409 million (1,531), down 8 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 1,147 million (1,319). The risk-adjusted NBI margin declined to 10.2 per cent (12.0 per cent), attributable primarily to changes in the customer mix and a higher credit loss ratio. Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the extra credit provision made in the first quarter as a result of the expected future effects of COVID-19.

Consumer Loans

Demand at more normal levels contributed to stable half-year

Second half of 2020, July-December

Demand for consumer credit loans was stable in all markets, except for in Finland, during the half-year. The temporary rules on direct marketing that Finland introduced earlier in July 2020 probably contributed to reducing demand. In the Swedish market, demand was essentially back at normal levels since the summer and an offer of borrowing up to SEK 500,000 was made available in all Swedish sales channels at the end of the second half of the year.

Growth in the Norwegian market remained low with the introduction of new legislation and the Gjeldsregisteret in 2019 contributing to changing the market. At the same time, signs were seen at the end of the year that the efforts Resurs has made to develop more attractive offerings were positively received when they reached the market via new sales channels.

The more restrictive credit assessment that Resurs introduced at the start of the year continued in all markets and slowed growth. However, sustainable credit lending is fundamental to Resurs and is a prerequisite for ensuring that customers do not borrow more than their personal financial situation permits. During the year, Resurs became a partner of Alektrum Group’s Shoppa Lagom initiative that aims to spread awareness and raise issues that help more people in society keep their finances balanced. By focusing on sustainable credit lending, Resurs is laying the foundation for smart and secure loans, and thereby sustainable business for all parties involved.

The New Nordic organisation established in the autumn is an important part of the transformation journey that Resurs embarked on during the half-year. Positive effects were noted relatively quickly in the form of a more efficient coordination at the Nordic level to capitalise on the all of the know-how found in the sales organisation.

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 19,865 million (19,919), a 4 per cent increase in constant currencies. Operating income declined 1 per cent in the period to SEK 982 million (990). Operating income less credit losses amounted to SEK 706 million (748), and the risk-adjusted NBI margin was 7.1 per cent (7.7 per cent). The trend in the risk-adjusted NBI margin was mainly due to the performance of the Norwegian market and lower margins due to higher average loans with lower credit risk. Credit losses for the half-year increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the historically high growth in lending and nonrecurring effects that positively impacted the year-earlier period.

Full-year 2020, January–December

Lending to the public on 31 December 2020 amounted to SEK 19,865 million (19,919). The strongest performance in percent was Finland, followed by Sweden and Denmark. Operating income for the period increased 3 per cent to SEK 1,999 million (1,946). Operating income less credit losses totalled SEK 1,406 million (1,489), and the risk-adjusted NBI margin amounted to 7.1 per cent (8.0 per cent). The trend in the risk-adjusted NBI margin was mainly due to the performance of the Norwegian market and lower margins due to higher average loans with lower credit risk. Credit losses increased both in absolute terms and as a percentage of lending, which was mainly an effect of the extra credit provision made in the first quarter as a result of the expected future effects of COVID-19 and historically high growth in lending.

Some of Resurs’s retail finance partners:

Resurs sold non-performing loans to leading international investor

In December 2020, Resurs Bank entered into an agreement with a leading international credit management company in non-performing loans to sell parts of Resurs’s non-performing loans for a gross carrying amount of just over SEK 500 million. The sale had a positive impact on Resurs Bank’s capital requirements and liquidity and ultimately had a neutral effect on earnings.

Resurs Bank extended its ABS financing – a sign of strength and trust

In line with Resurs’s strategy of long-term diversified financing, Resurs Holding’s subsidiary Resurs Bank is extending its existing ABS financing. The financing framework is for SEK 2 billion and is being carried out with JP Morgan Chase Bank.

The transformation journey towards greater competitiveness and growth has begun

Resurs’s transformation journey began in October 2020 by creating a more efficient Nordic organisation and at the same time making investments in IT projects and technology solutions. As a result of the changed organisational structure, Resurs reduced its personnel by about 70 positions, which is expected to generate annual net savings of about SEK 43 million and entailed nonrecurring costs of SEK 22 million in Q4 2020.

Gekås Ullared chose Resurs Bank as partner

Gekås Ullared, one of the Nordic region’s most successful retailers, chose Resurs Bank as a partner for taking the next step in card and payment solutions. The partnership has commenced and the transition to a new card and payment solution will take place in Q1 2021.

Resurs received an update from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating

In September 2020, Resurs Bank received an update from the rating company Nordic Credit Rating (NCR). The credit rating of BBB- was confirmed and the outlook was revised from negative to stable as Resurs, with lower credit losses and an improved net interest margin in Q2 2020, outperformed NCR’s expectations.

Resurs becomes the first partner of Alektrum Group’s Shoppa Lagom initiative

In September 2020, Resurs became the business world’s first company to support, and become a partner of, Alektrum Group’s Shoppa Lagom initiative that aims to spread awareness and raise issues that help more people in society keep their finances balanced.

New CEO starts at Resurs

Nils Carlsson became CEO of Resurs in June.

Extra credit provision in Resurs Bank

Resurs Bank made an extra credit provision of SEK 75 million in Q1 2020 due to COVID-19, in accordance with IFRS 9.

Resurs Bank denied deduction of nearly SEK 31 million in remeasurement effects attributable to IFRS 9 in Norway due to merger of yA Bank AS

In August 2020, the Swedish Tax Agency denied a deduction of nearly SEK 31 million in estimated tax attributable to the operations of the Norwegian branch of Resurs Bank, as a result of the merger of the former yA Bank and Resurs Bank in December 2018. Resurs Bank intends to appeal the decision. For precautionary reasons, the tax expense was charged to earnings for Q3 2020.

After the end of the period

Resurs continues its transformation journey and carries out impairment

In connection with its transformation journey, the company conducted a review of its balance sheet and identified an impairment requirement of SEK 48 million, of which SEK 38 million related to capitalised IT investments. The impairment affected operating profit for the second half of 2020 but had no effect on liquidity and only a marginal effect on the capital base.

Other information

Risk and capital management

The Group’s ability to manage risks and conduct effective capital planning is fundamental to its profitability. The business faces various forms of risk including credit risks, market risks, liquidity risks and operational risks. The Board has established operational policies with the aim of balancing the Group’s risk taking, and to limit and control risks. All policies are updated as necessary and revised at least once annually. The Board and CEO are ultimately responsible for risk management. In general, there were no significant changes regarding risk and capital management during the period. The Group’s risk management capabilities were affected to a certain extent during the pandemic but the impact was limited due to robust processes. The Group managed the risk of a loss of personnel in critical functions by introducing different zones and remote working. More employees working from home set higher requirements on information security and following up the Group’s control framework. A more detailed description of the bank’s risks, liquidity and capital management is presented in Note G2 Liquidity, Note G3 Capital Adequacy, and in the most recent annual report.

Information on operations

Resurs Bank AB conducts banking operations in the Nordic countries. Operations are primarily consumer-oriented and are licensed by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. Consumer lending is subdivided into retail finance loans, consumer loans, MasterCard and Visa credit cards, and deposits. Retail finance loans are offered to finance both traditional in-store purchases and online purchases. Operations in Finland are conducted through branch office Resurs Bank AB Suomen sivuliike (Helsinki), in Denmark through branch office Resurs Bank filial af Resurs Bank (Vallensbæk Strand) and in Norway through branch office Resurs Bank AB NUF (Oslo). Resurs Bank also operates in deposits via cross-border operations in Germany.

Employees

There were 658 full-time employees within the Group on 31 December 2020, down 69 since 30 June and down 28 since the end of 2019. The decline since 30 June was due to employment of temporary summer staff ending and to the reduction in the number of employees in Resurs Bank in all countries. This took place through retirement and redundancies.

G3. Capital adequacy - Consolidated situation

Capital requirements are calculated in accordance with European Parliament and Council Regulation EU 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36 EU (CRD IV). The Directive was incorporated via the Swedish Capital Buffers Act (2014:966), and prudential requirements and capital buffers (FFFS 2014:12). The capital requirement calculation below comprises the statutory minimum capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.

The combined buffer requirement for the consolidated situation comprises a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical capital buffer. The capital conservation buffer requirement amounts to 2.5 per cent of the risk-weighted assets. The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements and after being lowered by the supervisory authorities in spring 2020 amounted to 0.2 per cent. Only Norwegian exposures have a buffer requirement remaining, which is currently 1.0 per cent of risk-weighted Norwegian assets.

The consolidated situation calculates the capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk. Credit risk is calculated by applying the standardised method under which the asset items of the consolidated situation are weighted and divided between 17 different exposure classes.

The total risk-weighted exposure amount is multiplied by 8 per cent to obtain the minimum capital requirement for credit risk. The capital requirement for operational risk is calculated by the standardised method. Under this method, the capital requirement for operational risks is 12 per cent of the income indicator (meaning average operating income for the past three years). External rating and other interest-bearing securities.

Resurs Bank has applied to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for permission to apply the transition rules decided at EU level in December 2017.

P3. Capital adequacy

Capital requirements are calculated in accordance with European Parliament and Council Regulation EU 575/2013 (CRR) and Directive 2013/36 EU (CRD IV). The Directive was incorporated via the Swedish Capital Buffers regulations regarding prudential requirements and capital buffers (FFFS 2014:12). The capital requirement calculation below comprises the statutory minimum capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.

The combined buffer requirement for the consolidated situation comprises a capital conservation buffer and a countercyclical capital buffer. The capital conservation buffer requirement amounts to 2.5 per cent of the risk-weighted assets. The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements.The countercyclical capital buffer requirement is weighted according to geographical requirements and after being lowered by the supervisory authorities in spring 2020 amounted to 0.2 per cent. Only Norwegian exposures have a buffer requirement remaining, which is currently 1.0 per cent of riskweighted Norwegian assets.. The bank calculates the capital requirement for credit risk, credit valuation adjustment risk, market risk and operational risk.

Credit risk is calculated by applying the standardised method under which the asset items of the consolidated situation are weighted and divided between 17 different exposure classes. The total risk-weighted exposure amount is multiplied by 8 per cent to obtain the minimum capital requirement for credit risk. The capital requirement for operational risk is calculated by the standardised method. Under this method, the capital requirement for operational risks is 12 per cent of the income indicator (meaning average operating income for the past three base requirement for bonds and other interest-bearing securities.

Resurs Bank has applied to the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority for permission to apply the transition rules decided at EU level in December 2017. Under the transition rules, a gradual phase-in of the effect of IFRS 9 on capital adequacy is permitted, regarding both the effect of the transition from IAS 39 as at 1 January 2018 and the effect on the reporting date that exceeds the amount when IFRS 9 is first applied to stage 1 and stage 2. The phase-in period is as follows: 2018: 5 %, 2019: 10 %, 2020: 15 %, 2021: 20 %, 2022: 25 %, 2023: 25 %
