Outlook

As a result of the merger with RZB, to be entered in the commercial register on 18 of March 2017, the following outlook applies to the combined bank.

RBI reached the 12 per cent CET1 ratio target one year ahead of schedule with a fully loaded CET1 ratio of 13.6 per cent at 31 December 2016 (12.4 per cent for the pro forma combined bank). In the medium term we strive to achieve a CET1 ratio (fully loaded) of around 13 per cent.

After stabilizing loan volumes, we look to resume growth with an average yearly percentage increase in the low single digit area.

We expect net provisioning for impairment losses for 2017 to be below the level of 2016 (EUR 754 million).

We look to reach an NPL ratio of around 8 per cent by the end of 2017, and over the medium term we expect this to reduce further.

We further aim to achieve a cost/income ratio of between 50 and 55 per cent in the medium term, unchanged from our previous target.

Our medium term return on equity before tax target is unchanged at approximately 14 per cent, with a consolidated return on equity target of approximately 11 per cent.
