Outlook

New lending accelerated in the second quarter and we now expect mid- to high
single digit percentage loan growth for 2021 (excluding Equa bank).

Barring renewed lockdowns, the provisioning ratio for 2021 is expected to be
around 50 basis points.

We remain committed to a cost/income ratio of around 55 per cent - possibly as
soon as 2022 depending on the speed of the recovery.

We expect the consolidated return on equity to improve in 2021, and we target 11
per cent in the medium term.

We confirm our CET1 ratio target of around 13 per cent for the medium term.
Based on this target we intend to distribute between 20 and 50 per cent of
consolidated profit.
