Conclusions 20 Market Environment & Financial System Poland s economy started 2015 on a solid note, with GDP growth accelerating to 3.6%YoY in 1Q15, fuelled by strong private consumption, accelerating exports and buoyant fixed investments. Economic growth will continue to speed up towards 4% at the end of the year. External demand should keep growing and the PLN rate remains competitive. Consumption and investment growth are likely to remain strong, supported by record low interest rates and low commodity prices. Inflation started bottoming out after reaching a trough at -1.6%YoY in February. We forecast the core inflation to climb above 1% yet before the end of 2015. Interest rates are expected to remain at the record-low level of 1.5% for the next 12 months. Strategy & Business Business strategy is focused on gathering new customers through the development of our multi-channel approach and increasing loans and related fee income from the Consumer, SME, Leasing, Factoring, Business & Corporate and GBM segments. Sales efforts supported by marketing campaign for new and existing products. Increasing level of customer activity and related income offset by macro / regulatory issues low interest rates and increasing regulatory costs. Close management of Net Interest Income in low interest rate environment. Results Fees lower YoY due to the regulation of interchange fees since mid-2014. Costs under tight control, QoQ reduction in staff costs and depreciation. Stable credit quality with room for improvement going forward. Year-on-year profit 1% lower due to lower interest rates and higher regulatory impacts.
