Raiffeisen Bank International: In the first half of 2019, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) generated a consolidated profit of Euro 571 mn (-24,4 %). “Customer loans grew by 9 per cent, especially in Austria, Russia and Central Europe, in the first half of 2019. Despite the low interest rate environment, net interest income and net fee and commission income developed very positively, and risk costs remained at a very low level,” said CEO Johann Strobl. Overall, net interest income rose slightly by Euro 2 mn to Euro 1,664 mn. The net interest mar­gin declined 7 basis points to 2.42 per cent, mainly due to growth in low-margin business at head office and to margin developments in Russia and Belarus. Impairment losses on financial assets remained low in the reporting period at Euro 12 mn, com­pared to an Euro 83 mn net release of loan loss provisions – mainly due to inflows and recover­ies – in the comparable period of the previous year. The NPE ratio decreased 0.3 percentage points since the start of the year to 2.3 per cent. The NPE coverage ratioimproved 0.7 percentage points to 59.0 per cent. Total capital ratio (fully loaded) at 17.8 per cent The common equity tier 1 ratio (fully loaded) was 13.8 per cent, the tier 1 ratio (fully loaded) was 15.3 per cent (up 0.4 percentage points each) and the total capital ratio (fully loaded) was 17.8 per cent (down 0.3 percentage points).
