16 Main aspects of the Portuguese banking sector I. II. III. Solvency position has been evolving in a positive way Increase of Core Tier 1 Ratio mainly through higher capital Improvements in the composition of overall solvency Positive signs in terms of funding and liquidity Deposit growth both in volume and in terms of weight in the financing structure Reduction of the Loan-to-Deposit Ratio to levels close to 120% Deterioration trend in credit quality Specially in loans to non-financial corporation and consumer credit, although the latter has little weight on total credit IV. Profitability was affected, specially due to the recording of impairments resulting directly from the deterioration in the quality of loans Source: Banco de Portugal 16

17 Conclusion European Union: on the way to a better integration Need to reinforce cohesion, converge and solidarity New strategy for growth and employment Strong and coherent financial regulation Portugal: the challenge to go from recession to growth Fulfilment of the Economic Adjustment Programme A new model of growth, based on tradable goods Maintain social peace and political compromise Portuguese banking sector: great resilience High level of soundness Capacity to implement a strict deleveraging process 17
