4. Final remarks
24
1. Clear route in a challenging regulatory and rates environment
2. Expanding our SME franchise and other core products/new businesses (ie: consumer loans) will sustain our already double digit RoTE of the core bank
3. We are starting to see an improvement of loan demand fuelled by the pickup of the economy (GDP>2%) which will allow us this year to stop deleveraging and grow by next year in a still attractive price environment
4. NPA’s management remains a top priority and we have the right strategy and assets to benefit from the recovery of the RE market
5. All in all, we are confident that Popular has a solid model based on recurrent revenues, lean cost base and strong solvency with quality ratios (CET1 FL 10.4%, Leverage FL 6%) to improve our dividend policy over the coming years
