Good afternoon. That is the convention operator. Welcome, and thanks for becoming a member of the Crédit Agricole Third Quarter 2022 Outcomes Presentation. [Operator Instructions] At the moment, I wish to flip the convention over to Mr. Jerome Grivet, Deputy CEO, Incharge of Steering Division. Please go forward, sir.

Jerome Grivet

Good afternoon. It’s a pleasure for me to be with you this afternoon to current our Q3 and first 9 months of the 12 months outcomes. I’ll go instantly with the principle figures. I’ll attempt to make the presentation as shortly as doable to be able to depart your questions afterwards.

So let me begin on Web page 4, the place you’ll be able to see CASA’s most important figures, possibly just some highlights on this web page. On the quarter, revenues are up near 1% up as in comparison with Q3 ‘21, which was a document – which was already a document quarter when it comes to income. So once more, that is the best degree ever for a 3rd quarter. Second level on the quarter, you see the price of danger rising reasonably as in comparison with a foundation in ‘21, which was very low. Third component on this web page, the CET1 ratio at 11% is on the goal. And final level, the return on tangible fairness is at 12.5%, which is once more above the goal we had set for 2025.

If I look now on the first three quarters of the 12 months, the 9 months, revenues are up extra sharply on the primary 9 months, plus 5%, virtually 5%. The fee-income ratio within the first 9 months at 58% in is beneath our ceiling, beneath our dedication and at a really snug degree. And the underside line, the online revenue for the primary 9 months, underlying web revenue, near €4 billion, €3.937 billion, is flat, virtually flat as in comparison with the primary 9 months of ‘21, which was a document degree.

If I am going now on Web page 5, the place now we have the group’s most important figures, you will discover kind of the identical development, i.e., revenues for the quarter, that are kind of secure. However for the primary 9 months, the revenues are considerably up, plus 3%. Price of danger is extra sharply up for the group globally, however you will note that on the degree of the regional banks, we’ve been reserving once more this quarter a major addition when it comes to S1 and S2 provisions, so it doesn’t translate any sort of enhance in incurred dangers. The online revenue continues to be at a excessive degree regardless of a small lower as in comparison with ‘21, each for the quarter and for the primary 9 months. And lastly, for the group, the solvency ratio at 17.2% is 8.3 proportion factors above the stress degree.

If I am going now on Web page 7 with the principle messages we needed to emphasize this quarter. I believe that what’s fascinating to notice is that we’ve continued within the third quarter of this 12 months, we’ve continued to have an antagonistic atmosphere when it comes to market, charges continued to extend considerably. And you will note that it’s not essentially solely a excellent news. Equities markets had been considerably down within the third quarter as was the case for the primary two quarters, which has a major impression on a number of of our actions. On the ForEx market, the euro continued to say no fairly considerably, particularly in comparison with the greenback. Inflation saved being at a excessive degree and possibly increased than what we initially anticipated. And lastly, you understand that this quarter, within the third – starting of the third quarter, it was the top of the mechanism of bonus that utilized to the TLTRO, which represented a major add-on to our revenues as much as the top of Q2 this 12 months.

Regardless of that, now we have managed to maintain a excessive degree of revenues, as I stated and a excessive degree of profitability alongside with the solvency that was maintained on the goal for CASA. And naturally, that was at a really excessive degree for the group globally. And we’ve continued to roll out the totally different priorities of the medium-term plan with – amongst different parts the signature of the deal between CACEIS and RBC, by way of which CACEIS goes to turn into the shareholder and the proprietor of the European actions of RBC in the midst of subsequent 12 months.

Let me go now on Web page 8, the place you could have some parts relating to the actions, the underlying actions. I believe that what we will see is that we’ve saved being very current vis-à-vis our clients when it comes to lending. So the mortgage manufacturing continued to extend, each in retail banks, regional banks plus LCL and in addition in client and leasing actions. This, in fact, was very optimistic when it comes to attractivity for the group. And once more, this quarter, it’s near 500,000 new clients we’ve managed to draw in our totally different networks, retail banking networks in Europe, France, Italy and Poland. So all in all, because the starting of this 12 months, it’s 1.5 million new clients that we’ve attracted in our networks. And naturally, that is producing an extra enhance in our revenues coming from extra actions like insurance coverage, non-life insurance coverage actions the place, once more, we’ve seen a rise of near 7% of the premium earnings.

On Web page 9 some extra parts relating to our revenues, our prime line. As I stated, on 9 months, the dynamic is totally wonderful, plus shut to five% and even shut to three% at fixed scope. On the third quarter, in fact, the market circumstances I used to be mentioning earlier made it just a little bit tougher for a number of of our actions, amongst which the asset administration companies and in addition within the specialised monetary companies division, the place now we have had a major enhance in our refinancing prices. However globally, due to the excellent performances within the giant clients division and in addition retail banking actions, we’ve managed to put up for the companies solely a prime line bettering by round 2% on the quarter. And once more, that is illustrated on the right-hand aspect of this web page. Once more, this quarter, we’ve managed to put up the next degree of revenues than in the identical quarter of final 12 months. It’s been steadily the case quarter after quarter within the final 5 years.

On Web page 10, some parts relating to the prices. On 9 months, the rise in the associated fee base is round 3.9% at fixed scope, and it’s beneath 3%, or excluding the ForEx impact. And on the quarter solely, the rise for the enterprise line is restricted to 2.9% at fixed scope, so it’s round €90 million enhance this quarter, out of which you could have €20 million relating to – near €20 million in reference to the wage enhance now we have determined to grant in the course of this 12 months. I used to be already mentioning this level within the final – within the earlier name, and you’ve got additionally €30 million of ForEx impact.

If I am going now on Web page 11, the evolution of the gross working earnings – after we look solely on the enterprise strains, what you’ll be able to see is that within the quarter, the gross working earnings could be very near the one we had final 12 months, minus 1%, and it’s plus 2% on the primary 9 months of the 12 months. And so in common, now we have – we put up a gross working earnings, which could be very considerably above the one we had again in 2019, so pre-pandemic. Final level, the associated fee/earnings ratio that now we have continues to be steadily beneath our ceiling of 60% and in addition fascinating to notice that it’s continually within the final 5 years, 5 proportion factors beneath the common of the largest European banks. It’s the chart that you’ve on the right-hand aspect of this web page.

Going now to the price of danger. What we will say this quarter is that we’re again when it comes to confirmed danger to the quarterly common of 2019. And if we glance again on the manner we had been qualifying the price of danger in 2019, we discovered it at the moment, very reasonable. So clearly, we proceed to have a value of danger, which could be very benign regardless of some enhance if we examine the price of danger with the identical quarter final 12 months the place it was abnormally, I’d say, low. By way of ratio, at CASA, now we have globally a value of danger, which is round 30 bps relating to the outstandings, be it on the idea of the final 4 quarters or on the idea of an annualization of the final quarter, which is beneath the belief of the medium-term plan. And in relation to the group globally, we’re at 22, 23 bps, together with important add-on once more this quarter from the regional banks on the S1 and S2 provisions. It was already the case in Q2. So it signifies that the regional banks proceed to be very prudent when it comes to making ready for the long run and complementing as soon as once more their prudential provisions.

That is illustrated on the next web page, Web page 13, the place you’ll be able to see that at group degree, now we have a world degree of provisions, which is a kind of – which stays since 3 years in the identical area, round €20 billion. However curiously, the proportion on this quantity of €20 billion of S1 and S2 provision has considerably elevated. It’s now – it now represents 42% of the full. And at CASA, now we have precisely the identical development. And so S1 and S2 provision characterize at CASA, 37% of the mortgage loss reserves that now we have globally.

By way of protection ratio, we proceed to have very excessive protection ratios. 73% at CASA and 87% at group globally. This interprets, and you’ve got it on Web page 14, in a state of affairs the place each CASA and the group put up amongst the perfect performances when it comes to protection ratio within the house of European banks, which is illustrated on the left-hand aspect of the web page. And it comes from the very fact as illustrated on the right-hand aspect of the web page, it comes from the truth that now we have a really diversified mortgage guide along with a really strict credit score requirements.

Let me go now to the online revenue on Web page 15. As you could have seen, now we have a slight lower in Q3-on-Q3, minus 10%, which is basically defined by the company middle, during which the deterioration of the extent of revenue comes considerably with some non permanent and non-cash parts. We are able to return on this level afterward. On the primary 9 months, it’s very secure, minus 0.6%, and it’s 20% – 20.6% above the extent we had again in 2019, so earlier than the pandemic.

By way of profitability, Web page 16, you’ll be able to see that the return on tangible fairness, as I stated, is at 12.5%. It’s once more 2.5 proportion factors above the common of the largest European banks. Let me go now to the solvency beginning with CASA. This quarter, you’ll be able to see on the waterfall on the left-hand aspect of the web page that at CASA, the CET1 ratio decreased this quarter by round 30 bps, which is greater than defined by some market impression, each when it comes to an extra deterioration of the OCI reserves coming from the insurance coverage enterprise plus additionally a major market impression on the RWA of the capital market actions at CACIB.

On the primary 9 months of the 12 months, that is the right-hand aspect waterfall on this web page. The depletion is of round 90 bps out of which the – I’d say, the day-to-day enterprise generated an enchancment of the capital state of affairs by 34 bps; retail outcomes, 47 bps; and the totally different parts coming from the day-to-day administration of the group, it’s a consumption of 13 bps. And the depletion is totally and greater than fully defined by some, I’d say, market impact.

The OCI reserves coming from the insurance coverage actions represented on the primary 9 months of the 12 months, a world impression of 84 bps, RWA and market impact on the capital consumption of CACIB’s capital market actions, it’s 24 bps. And along with that, you keep in mind that within the first quarter of the 12 months, we booked a major deterioration of our exposures on Russian counterparts. This translated into extra provision, S1 and S2 provisions, plus additionally a rise within the RWA density of these exposures.

What’s fascinating to notice is {that a} important a part of these results are going to revert sooner or later over time. It’s particularly the case of the OCI reserves of the insurance coverage actions. If I summarize the state of affairs, again finish of 2021, we had a CET1 ratio of 11.9%, during which we had 30 bps of unrealized capital beneficial properties that we’re going to tug to 0 over time. We’ve now a CET1 ratio of 11%, which features a detrimental part of fifty bps coming from the OCI reserves. And once more, this detrimental part goes to tug to par over time, when the bonds – the underlying bonds are going to mature progressively. So this explains precisely how the state of affairs advanced over the primary 3 quarters of the 12 months.

Globally, for the group, and you’ve got it on Web page 18. On this quarter, now we have kind of the identical impact and the identical impression because the one we’ve talked about about CASA. So the CET1 ratio of the group went down from 17.5% finish of June to 17.2% finish of September. However what you’ll be able to see, and naturally, you’re completely conscious of that, is that at 17.2%, the group is likely one of the finest capitalized G-SIBs in Europe. And when it comes to distance to SREP, with 830 bps, it’s the finest capitalized G-SIB in Europe. Along with that, CASA, which isn’t a G-SIB, continues to have a distance to SREP, which is above 300 bps on which compares very favorably to a sum of the G-SIBs of our pattern.

Final level on this part, if we place the performances of CASA for the primary 9 months of 2022, on Web page 19, what you’ll be able to see is that we’re completely in line, each with the targets that we had set for 2022 within the earlier medium-term plan and in addition with the brand new targets that now we have up to date in June this 12 months for 2025. It’s the case, in fact, for the return on fairness. It’s the case for the associated fee/earnings ratio. It’s the case for the CET1 ratio. And when it comes to revenue, in fact, we’ll see what the state of affairs can be on the finish of this 12 months. However clearly, we’re not in a really, I’d say, uncomfortable state of affairs from this standpoint. Final level on this web page, the dividend that’s accrued finish of September represents €0.58 per share.

Let me go now to the totally different enterprise strains, quickly, beginning with the asset gathering division, clearly – on Web page 21. Clearly, for the asset gathering enterprise division, it was a tough quarter when it comes to a really detrimental market impact, plus additionally a slowing down of the inflows and even detrimental flows at Amundi. Regardless of that, the enterprise division continues to have an excellent degree of profitability with a web revenue for the quarter, down solely 3% and for the 9 months, down only one.5%.

For the insurance coverage actions, particularly on Web page 22, the messages are quite simple. By way of life insurance coverage actions, precisely what we discovered globally for the enterprise division flows had been kind of near 0 this quarter. However however, in P&C actions and safety companies, we proceed to have premium earnings up round 7% should you restate the expansion figures from the truth that La Médicale de France has been bought starting of the third quarter. And this disposal of La Médicale de France generated a capital achieve of €100 million, which has been restated. So it’s not within the P&L that’s on this web page. And so regardless of this restatement of the capital achieve, the insurance coverage enterprise division put up an enchancment of its profitability of round 4% this quarter and 5% for the primary 9 months.

For Amundi, Web page 23, once more, the market circumstances had been very detrimental with the lower in equities market, a rise within the price and so a lower within the worth of the bonds and a lower of the euro. The market globally was detrimental, and the outflows had been very important, particularly in Europe.

So on this context, Amundi’s exercise was fairly resilient. Outflows had been restricted when it comes to medium- and long-term belongings. And the lower in revenues as in comparison with Q3 ‘21, interprets right into a slight enhance as in comparison with the second quarter of 2022. And naturally, the lower between Q3 ‘21 and Q3 ‘22 is greater than defined by the lower – the sharp lower in efficiency charges.

Going now on Web page 24 to the big buyer division and beginning with CACIB. Within the third quarter of this 12 months, the actions had been globally good with revenues up shut to five%. However on the quarter, the engine that labored the perfect was clearly the financing a part of CACIB it was tougher within the capital market actions. The reason being, in fact, quite simple as all the time, we’re right here to offer financing to our clients both by way of our stability sheet or by way of capital market merchandise. It occurs that this quarter of this 12 months was a weak quarter globally out there. And so in fact, as DCM is an important driver for our capital market actions, this generated a slight lower of the revenues of this subdivision this quarter. However globally, revenues had been up at CACIB. And if I look again on the first 9 months of the 12 months, the rise is even sharper plus 10% and all sub-compartments of the actions had been considerably up.

By way of price of danger, it’s a major enhance as in comparison with final 12 months, however final 12 months was virtually nil. So you’ll be able to notice that this quarter, the extent €32 million could be very low. And on the primary 9 months, take into consideration the truth that we booked within the first quarter important provisions relating to the Russian publicity. So all in all, the profitability at CACIB is just a little bit down, however however, stays at an excellent degree, above €1 billion for the primary 9 months of the 12 months.

Massive Prospects division once more, with the asset servicing actions, we needed to spotlight just a little bit extra what is occurring at CACEIS as a result of CACEIS is increasingly turning into an important part of the equilibrium of the group and the enterprise mannequin of the group. Two parts on this web page, the primary one is that CACEIS has reached a couple of weeks or months in the past an settlement – in precept settlement with RBC to purchase its European actions within the subject of investor companies, and that is actually going to be a recreation changer for CACEIS, which is able to turn into the primary in Europe when it comes to belongings underneath administration and it might strengthen its place as quantity two in belongings underneath custody. So it’s an important operation, which goes to be very relative with a return on funding that’s going to be above 10%. And this operation is to be accomplished and closed center of subsequent 12 months, most likely third quarter of subsequent 12 months.

Within the current context, the belongings at CACEIS had been down this quarter due to, in fact, market actions. However however, revenues had been considerably up and CACEIS begins to profit from the cost-cutting plan that was put in place final 12 months. So all in all, that is producing a really sharp enchancment of the profitability of CACEIS, plus 37% within the quarter and plus 23% on the primary 9 months.

Specialised Monetary Providers on Web page 26. For the patron credit score enterprise, first, messages are quite simple. The manufacturing has been very dynamic this quarter, the largest engine being the automobile financing companies, each with the joint ventures that now we have and in addition with the automobile financing loans that we grant within the perimeter of Sofinco instantly at Agos. The margin continues to be just a little bit underneath strain, particularly in France as a result of the refinancing price rise extra fortunately than our capability to repass this enhance to the purchasers, particularly due to the mechanism of the [indiscernible] price, but it surely’s going to be progressively accommodated over time.

The prices are underneath management. So the associated fee/earnings ratio is barely down as in contrast each to Q3 ‘21 and Q2 ‘22. And the price of danger is up, however up as in comparison with 1 / 4 – third quarter in ‘21, which was very low particularly at Agos, the place we had some reversal of provisions for technical causes again in ‘21. On the leasing and factoring actions, additionally an excellent quarter when it comes to exercise, an excellent degree of revenues and the price of danger, which is down. So all in all, the profitability at CALF is bettering considerably.

French Retail and LCL. Business exercise could be very dynamic, and now we have had a manufacturing of recent loans, which was once more this quarter up, particularly for the self-employed skilled and enterprise loans and solely very modestly down for dwelling loans, I believe it was minus 2% or minus 3% at LCL in an atmosphere the place globally the market was rather more sharply down. Monetary outcomes are very stable. The highest line is up 0.6% regardless of the strain on the web curiosity margin.

You realize that in the course of the summer time, now we have had the rise in the price of the – a second enhance in the price of regulated financial savings accounts. And we misplaced because the starting of this quarter additionally the 50 bps premium on the TLTRO drawing. Charges and commissions are very effectively oriented. Prices proceed to be underneath management, plus 1% on the quarter regardless of the rise in salaries, I used to be mentioning for all our French workers. And the price of danger is up however continues to be very, very low really in absolute phrases, in absolute numbers.

In Italy, the state of affairs is just a little bit totally different. The Italian market has been good for companies and for client credit score, but it surely has been rather more muted for dwelling loans. And so we discover the identical tendencies at Crédit Agricole Italia. However, Crédit Agricole Italia is gaining market shares in dwelling loans. And likewise Crédit Agricole Italia is progressively benefiting from the combination of CreVal. So all in all, revenues are barely, however positively up. Working bills are virtually flat, 0.6%. So the gross working earnings is up 1.5%. The price of danger is down and really low. And the online revenue of Crédit Agricole Italia is up 12% within the quarter and 33% on the primary 9 months.

For the remainder of the worldwide banking actions, worldwide retail banking actions, excellent momentum, each in Poland and Egypt. In Poland, now we have booked a provision relating to the moratorium that has been imposed by the Polish authorities. It’s a €20 million provision that has been booked at Crédit Agricole Financial institution Polska and restated, so it’s not included within the P&L on this web page, but it surely’s an distinctive merchandise. And the price of danger in these 2 international locations proceed to be very low.

In Ukraine, once more, as we did within the final two quarters, now we have booked provisions that nearly fully offset the gross working earnings, which was fairly good this quarter in Ukraine, regardless of the context, €35 million. And naturally, I remind you that now we have a provision at CASA that’s overlaying the total worth of the fairness invested in Ukraine. Company middle is down this quarter. It’s down particularly for income causes, specifically with the elimination of intragroup securities issued by CASA subscribed by Predica and/or Amundi. And likewise as a part of the TLTRO was booked at CASA on the company middle. After all, the company middle is shedding the 50 bps premium as in every single place else within the group. And now we have additionally most likely a sure prudence within the evaluation of the extent of taxes that we’re going to guide finish of the 12 months on the Company middle.

So listed here are the details relating to CASA. On Web page 32, some highlights relating to the regional banks of Crédit Agricole, you will discover kind of the identical development as those we see at LCL, i.e., an excellent degree of mortgage manufacturing, each for enterprise loans, client credit score loans and residential loans. You’ll be able to see that globally, the regional banks proceed to draw new clients. It’s once more near 300,000 new clients this quarter and 900,000 over the primary 9 months. That is most likely – this good degree of exercise might be associated additionally to the truth that we proceed to be very current when it comes to loans, when it comes to lending. And that is going to be useful extra globally as time passes by.

The highest line is down on the degree of the regional banks in connection, not solely with the truth that as for LCL, there’s a sure strain on the web curiosity margin. However you additionally know that the regional banks have important portfolios of belongings. And the honest worth of these belongings has been detrimental this quarter contemplating the context. The price of danger is considerably up, however actually, you have to assess the truth that amongst the €273 million of price of danger this quarter for the regional banks, you could have €160 one thing million of S1 and S2 provisions, and that is precisely the identical for the primary 9 months greater than half of the extent of price of danger on the regional banks is product of prudential provisions.

If we go now to Web page 34, what you’ll be able to see is that the profitable state of affairs of the group continues to be very snug. Perhaps along with that, contemplating the brand new guidelines that apply to the TLTRO price beginning November 23, we will definitely scale back the excellent earlier than year-end although after November 23, the TLTRO quantity are going merely to characterize a zero-cost liquidity reserve for us.

And on Web page 35, simply as a reminder, it’s been the case steadily because the starting of this 12 months. We’re forward of the curve when it comes to deploying our market funding program, now we have now raised €14.5 billion of medium and long-term market funding at finish of September. And doubtless, I believe it’s €1 billion extra at finish of October. And at group degree globally, it’s €35 billion that we’ve raised because the starting of this 12 months.

So listed here are the principle figures and the principle parts I needed to emphasize on this presentation, and I believe I’ll now allow you to the ground to your questions.

Query-and-Reply Session

Operator

Thanks. [Operator Instructions] The primary query is from Jacques-Henri Gaulard with Kepler. Please go forward.

Jacques-Henri Gaulard

Sure. Good afternoon, workforce. Only a query concerning the involvement of the regional banks within the capital of CASA. By imposing them extra intently, don’t you run to dangers principally? The primary considered one of materially decreasing the liquidity of the shares. And on the similar time, you’re really protecting the choice of taking the corporate non-public at a probably low worth as a result of in any case, [indiscernible] would haven’t any dedication to take care of any kind of worth. If that was the case, then wouldn’t that make the long-term funding case of CASA just a little bit pointless, principally? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Properly, Jacques-Henri, I believe that contemplating what we’re speaking about, I believe your fears are, to a sure extent, overstated. Materially decreasing the liquidity, we’re speaking about an operation that would characterize as much as €1 billion as much as the center of subsequent 12 months. So it’s not very important contemplating the dimensions of the liquidity and the free float of CASA. And so I believe that the worry of seeing a discount within the degree of liquidity just isn’t very materials. I simply remind you that again in 2021, we ourselves developed two share buyback operations, representing all in all, greater than €1 billion. So we all know what it represents €1 billion for CASA and it’s not altering considerably the liquidity.

And the second level relating to the intention that you just, I’d say, that you just’re referring to of presumably taking the corporate non-public, I believe the shareholder made it very clear that they don’t need to exceed in anyway the brink of 65%, which is sort of far-off from any sort of take non-public. So undoubtedly, I believe it’s not the intention of the bulk shareholder. This isn’t going to vary something within the governance. They won’t have any extra governance rights or no matter. So it’s actually a technical, monetary and even when I’ll say so, opportunistic operations contemplating the monetary capacities of the regional banks and contemplating additionally the market situation.

Jacques-Henri Gaulard

Thanks, Jerome.

Jerome Grivet

Thanks.

Operator

The following query is from Delphine Lee with JPMorgan. Please go forward.

Delphine Lee

Good afternoon, Jerome. Thanks for taking my questions. My first query is on web curiosity earnings. In case you don’t thoughts simply sharing with us the advantages that you just’re going to lose or what you could have booked possibly to date within the first half on TLTRO, simply so we perceive just a little bit how a lot goes to fall away subsequent 12 months, each in French retail, NII can develop subsequent 12 months due to these headwinds and in addition due to the Livret A, which is more likely to go effectively above 2%?

After which my second query is on capital. So that you talked about that the headwinds would reverse, and I perceive what you imply by – with the OCI and the pull to par impact. However might you possibly share just a little little bit of timing of that? And likewise on market the best way inflation due to the volatility, can we see some reversal of that in coming quarters or years? I imply, simply making an attempt to know just a little bit the pace at which capital might return to the place it was once. Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Okay. So relating to your first query on NII, advantages of the TLTRO, Livret A and so forth and so forth. Let me begin with an important reminder. On the perimeter of CASA we’re speaking about half of the NBI at LCL. So globally, we’re speaking about 10% of the worldwide revenues of CASA. So it’s crucial. But it surely’s not the largest a part of the revenues that we guide at CASA. After all, it’s rather more vital at group degree as a result of the regional banks, all of them in all, characterize roughly 5x or 6x CASA – LCL, excuse me. So clearly, what’s vital is it’s crucial to know what’s going to occur relating to the NII, but it surely’s going to impression rather more the regional banks than CASA.

Second level, TLTRO, it’s public that the group globally has drawn round €160 billion on the TLTRO window. It’s very tough to – and I’ve all the time been very reluctant to provide you precisely an quantity of the good thing about the TLTRO, as a result of the aim of the TLTRO was to enhance the financing circumstances within the European economic system. So in fact, a major a part of the advantages of this low-cost useful resource has been handed on to the purchasers within the pricing of the loans.

However, quite the opposite, when we’re going to lose this low-cost useful resource as a result of it’s going to turn into a useful resource on the worth of the deposit facility. Then we all know precisely what we’re going to lose as a result of we’re going to have to switch this useful resource both by one other class of useful resource – market useful resource or just by decreasing by the identical quantity the deposits that we make on the ECB. So we’re going, in fact, to progressively repay this €160 billion of TLTRO. And that is the idea on which we benefited as much as the top of Q2 of the 50 bps premium.

And once more, as a reminder, as a result of I already defined it, the advantages – the quantity was cut up kind of evenly between the regional banks on the one hand and CASA and its totally different actions then again. So globally, should you assess €160 billion, 50 bps on a yearly foundation, this might characterize round €800 million, so €400 million in ‘22 and 0 in ‘23. That’s very clear.

By way of Livret A and all of the likes of Livret A, just like the LDD and so forth at LCL, the worldwide quantity after the centralization on the [indiscernible] represents round €10 billion at LCL. So in ‘21, the price of this useful resource was 0.5%. In common, in ‘22, it was 1.5%, 1% within the first a part of the 12 months, 2% within the second half. So it’s a distinction of €100 million globally focused on the second half of the 12 months. And in ‘23, our greatest guess is that in common, most likely Livret A goes to price us 3.5%. So it’s a further €200 million of price for LCL. So in fact, that is going to have a detrimental strain on the web curiosity earnings within the totally different retail banks in France globally at LCL with the quantity I used to be mentioning on the regional banks and in all banks which have important quantity of Livret A and merchandise of this sort. By way of capital, the timing of the pull to par is tough to evaluate as a result of it’s going to rely, in fact, on market actions. But when we assume that the charges are actually stabilized, and price just isn’t the one query as a result of, in fact, you could have the equities market in a a lot smaller proportion, however they play a job. And now we have additionally the credit score unfold as a result of a part of the bond guide of Predica just isn’t solely product of sovereign bonds, but in addition of company bonds. And so the credit score spreads play undoubtedly an vital position.

So – however we will assume that the period of the bonds of Predica is quite lengthy. So it signifies that the impact goes to be unfold over the approaching a number of years, I’d say, most likely 5, 6, 7 years, so it’s not one thing we count on for tomorrow morning clearly. However thus far, now we have – thus far, we had a I’d say, an overhang on our solvency. In reference to this unrealized capital achieve part, we now have an engine that’s going to gas progressively our solvency going ahead. And if I now have a look on the short-term, what I can say is that the top of September, I’d say the charges, the risk-free charges are kind of on the similar degree, so no important change.

However company credit score spreads tightened fairly considerably really since finish of September, most likely round 20 bps. And equities market improved by round 10% or 12% since finish of September. So I’m not pretending that is going to be the state of affairs finish of December. However in fact, we monitor this on virtually a day-to-day foundation. And what I can let you know is that it’s been clearly quite bettering over the primary a part of the quarter when it’s been deteriorating steadily over the course of the primary three quarters.

And on market danger, there are totally different parts within the evaluation and the calculation of the market danger. We’ve a VaR, which is constructed on a historic methodology. So it signifies that progressively, over time, we’re going to see the occasions, the market occasions that triggered this enhance fading away, I’d say. So that is going to take time, most likely 1 or 2 years, but it surely’s going to progressively fade away not less than partially over time.

The following query is from Tarik El Mejjad with BOA. Please go forward.

Tarik El Mejjad

Hello, good afternoon, Jerome. Simply a few questions, please. I’ll come nonetheless on the capital. I imply, I perceive the reversal of this detrimental impression as a result of volatility within the markets and charges. However is that – I imply, it creates plenty of stress out there when it comes to your capitalization adequacy and so forth. Is it not now clear that given – I imply we had two price cycles that it’s higher that you just enhance your buffers as a goal, it’s greater than 11%? So that you simply principally take up this volatility and persons are snug that you would be able to keep above 11% at any time. I would really like your view on that. And second query is on the prices in France and possibly generally. In case you can replace us what’s the most recent negotiations you had for subsequent 12 months and the 12 months after? I do know you’ve – in France, you’ve anticipated subsequent 12 months’s price, however you’ll be able to possibly element a bit the place you see prices evolving and in addition possibly the windfall taxes in any jurisdictions the place you use? Thanks very a lot.

Jerome Grivet

Why would you like us to be completely and at any time above 11%? I all the time acknowledged that 11% was a goal, not a flooring. So I believe that we’ve stated after we offered the medium-term plan that truly the place we put the ground is buffer of 250 bps above SREP. We are actually at 310 bps. After all, we all know that the SREP degree, which incorporates the countercyclical buffer goes to modestly, however actually enhance at first of subsequent 12 months, I believe, within the second quarter in April, but it surely’s going to characterize solely 20 bps, I suppose, of enhance. So we’re at 310 bps of buffer above SREP. We’ve a flooring at 250 bps. We’ve greater than 800 bps of buffer at group degree. So undoubtedly, there may be completely no want of modifying our steering, modifying our goal, and we’re completely pleased with that.

Relating to prices, the negotiation with the social companions are usually not accomplished but. However we’re standing on our place, which is that with this common capital enhance that now we have granted center of 2022, now we have – did a major a part of what we supposed to do starting of ‘23. So now I don’t need to upfront crystallize the problem, the top level of the dialogue. However undoubtedly, we persist with resolve that we’ve did upfront a part of what we needed to do starting of ‘23. So it signifies that starting of ‘23, it’s going to be solely part of what you may count on.

Tarik El Mejjad

Can I follow-up simply on the capital? I imply I fully agree your – sorry, I perceive your rationalization. However there are some parts which might be out of your management the place charges go, the place fairness market goes and that creates very excessive volatility in our capital. So I’m not saying you’re not sufficiently capitalized at round 11%, but it surely simply creates these large swings that to your fairness story is usually a bit useful. That was my level.

Jerome Grivet

Sure. However really, we haven’t had swings, as a result of the swings swing goes in each instructions. It’s been a one-way motion because the starting of this 12 months, and we’ve been in a position to accommodate that. After all, everyone knows that charges are usually not going to extend by round 100 bps each quarter within the coming three, 4, 5 quarters, it’s not it’s not doable, it’s not rational, and it’s not in keeping with what we might count on from an financial viewpoint as a result of if we count on a slowdown of the economic system, it’s going to in some way decelerate the rise in long-term charges. That’s completely clear. And what we’re seeing since now 6 or 7 weeks is exactly this, I’d say, ascertained within the evolution of charges.

Hello, Giulia.

Giulia Aurora Miotto

Two questions from me as effectively. The primary one, I simply need to return to the 2019 dividend, 20 bps catch-up. I perceive all of your level that you just simply made on being effectively capitalized, effectively above SREP, however I used to be questioning should you preserve seeing some OCI strain wouldn’t that be wouldn’t it be doable so that you can take into account that one? Or it’s out of query, you’ll undoubtedly pay that? So that’s my first query. After which secondly, I used to be questioning on the funding banking efficiency. I believe your FICC was fairly a bit weaker than friends. And I used to be questioning if there have been any marks or any particular detrimental impacts within the quarter that you’d name out? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Thanks, Giulia. Now on the €0.20, I believe it’s once more talked about in our slide this time and we reiterate that completely. We’ve the intention to pay in ‘23 this extra €0.20 per share. That’s completely clear. That is an intention since you completely know the distinction between an intention and a dedication. As quickly as I speak about dedication exactly, I’ve to order the quantity in my solvency ratio. And naturally, I don’t need to do this too early. I need to do it as shut as doable to the second I can be paying this quantity. So I’ll translate the intention into dedication precisely on the time when it’s going to be crucial, however we clearly have this intention and it is a dialogue that we’ll have with the Board after we will shut 2022 accounts, so most likely in February subsequent 12 months.

In our funding banking performances and FICC exactly, it’s very tough to check FICC-to-FICC, if I’ll say so, as a result of the breakdown of actions that every financial institution is placing both in capital markets or in FICC or in company banking or in international banking or no matter, could be very totally different. So FICC, we haven’t had any particular hit of any type in our actions. The muted efficiency of our capital market actions this quarter, which isn’t the case for the primary 9 months, is totally defined by buyer conduct with a weak point on the DCM market, particularly in Europe. And I believe you’ll be able to assess that it’s completely a market a development and never solely a development at CACIB, ranges and volumes of exercise of issuance of recent bonds and particularly company bonds this quarter had been very weak. However, the credit score demand that was addressed to us was fairly important. This explains the nice efficiency of our financing actions. And actually, there was nothing particular and nothing worrying in our efficiency this quarter.

So are you able to simply remind us, in This autumn, we could have plus 10 bps for Credit score du Maroc, minus 15 or 16 for the dividend catch-up, minus 28 for IFRS 17. Are you able to verify whether or not you’ve obtained another shifting elements, and past the capital construct, clearly? After which the second query is on Stellantis partnership and relationship. My understanding was that in the direction of year-end or possibly I’m fallacious on timing, however you’ll consolidate the loans. And so are you able to simply clarify to us what can be the impression on revenues and possibly PBT, if any?

Jerome Grivet

On capital, in This autumn, you bought it proper with Credit score du Maroc. You bought it proper with the €0.20 catch-up. You’re a little bit upfront for IFRS 17, as a result of IFRS 17 goes to be Q1 ‘23, not This autumn ‘22.

Sure. Good afternoon, Jerome. Thanks for taking my query. I needed to come back again to the capital markets level, please, since you are flagging some worth adjustment results on income. You even have this market risk-weighted asset impression. And also you additionally had fairly a little bit of development in honest worth belongings by way of the P&L virtually 10% in the course of the quarter. And I believe now we have not seen this from any of your friends. So I’m questioning if there may be the rest that will clarify these comparatively uncommon strikes? And the second query goes to some extent that comes out of the proposal of the EU Council on the implementation of Basel IV, the place evidently proposing that the output flooring would, in impact, apply at solo entities, however there may very well be a nationwide discretion to not do it. Have you ever really ever disclosed what distinction it might make to CASA if the output flooring had been to be utilized for you? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Thanks. So far as the belongings valued by way of P&L are involved, I don’t have something important or particular in thoughts. So I can see two factors relating to that, both it’s a ForEx impact as a result of clearly, contemplating the truth that the euro-dollar parity has modified fairly dramatically this quarter, many, many parts within the stability sheet have moved considerably merely underneath this impact. And the second chance can be additionally the truth that now we have some belongings throughout the stability sheet of the insurance coverage firm that may very well be additionally valued by way of P&L. However now we have to examine precisely. However there may be nothing, I’d say, noticeable or outstanding or no change within the scope of actions that may very well be signaled by this evolution of the volumes of belongings valued by way of P&L.

Output flooring, now we have been, because the very starting, satisfied that the one related degree to use the output flooring was the best consolidated degree. We’ve been steadily confirmed on this considering by the French public authorities. What we see within the totally different paperwork printed by the Fee, by the Parliament and even by the Council the place you first – you understand that throughout the council, now we have a number of international locations that basically need – as a result of they’re host international locations, actually need to have a direct grip on the solvency of banks subsidiaries of their jurisdiction. Even within the doc of the Council, there may be this chance of making use of the output flooring on the highest consolidated degree i.e., at group degree for Crédit Agricole Group. And we all know that if that is the rule in precept, we’re going to apply it and if that is an possibility, the French authorities are very clear. They’ll apply the choice and permit us to use the choice. So little doubt that it’s going to use solely at group degree. And so it’s – there isn’t a want for us to reveal any impression if it had been utilized at CASA degree.

The following query is from Matthew Clark with Mediobanca. Please go forward.

Matthew Clark

Good afternoon. Two extra questions on capital, I’m afraid. Firstly, coming again to Guillaume’s query on IFRS 17, and also you kindly stated the impression can be lower than 28 foundation factors. Might you make clear whether or not you’re speaking concerning the gross impression of IFRS 17 being lower than 28 foundation factors or whether or not that’s together with an expectation of additional upstreaming of capital from Crédit Agricole Insurance coverage? After which second query additionally on capital, on Basel IV, is that the dimensions of your insurance coverage operations when it comes to risk-weighted belongings, and I suppose, the guide worth or carrying worth of your funding in them has shrunk rather a lot because you gave your negligible Basel IV impression steering a few quarters in the past. So do it is advisable to replace that Basel IV steering for the truth that you’re not going to have such a powerful gross profit from the Danish Compromise as possibly you may need thought a couple of quarters in the past given insurance coverage has shrunk in regulatory stability sheet phrases since then and if not, why not? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

IFRS 17, we’re not considering neither of the gross quantity or of the online quantity after we disclose the determine as a result of we haven’t disclosed any determine. However clearly, after we can be extra exact on that, and we’ll most likely be capable to do it after we publish This autumn accounts, we offers you the gross and the online determine. However what I count on is that the online determine goes to be very, very tiny, if any, as a result of now we have once more, sure flexibility. And the thought is that we don’t need to have any web impression coming from the transition to IFRS 17, as we’ve stated because the starting. On Basel IV, I’m unsure I absolutely obtained your level as a result of what I learn is that the 370% goes to turn into 250% in anyway, and there may be nothing that’s – that appears to be modified from this viewpoint. So in fact…

Matthew Clark

Whenever you gave your authentic steering, at the moment, your insurance coverage risk-weighted belongings had been about €50 billion or up within the €40 billion. The impression of going 370% to 250% can be better in euro million phrases than it might be now when your start line is…

Jerome Grivet

Sure. Okay. Excuse me, I didn’t get you proper. No, after we say that excluding the output flooring and after all of the TRIM that we went by way of since now, 2 or 3 years. Once we stated that starting of ‘25, the implementation of Basel IV goes to be net-zero, I’d say, globally for CASA. It’s bearing in mind, in fact, the replace of the carrying worth of the curiosity exercise, which we utilized at 250% and in addition the replace – common updates that now we have to make the opposite facets of Basel IV. So net-zero takes into consideration the truth that now we have much less RWAs throughout the Insurance coverage enterprise division.

However do you thoughts simply speaking just a little bit about a number of the income tendencies for the principle companies going into ‘23 when it comes to a number of the shifting elements that we haven’t already sort of lined? And secondly, simply possibly holding in just a little bit extra on the insurance coverage enterprise. I’m simply sort of curious on the sort of income development and for instance, on the unit-linked gross sales whether or not there may be an impression there when it comes to financial savings conduct going ahead? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Properly, thanks. You realize that within the insurance coverage actions, as soon as translated in banking accounting system, it’s all the time very tough to have a look at the extent of revenues, and we completely know that on a selected quarter, now we have – we will have a major volatility relating to the revenues stemming from the insurance coverage actions, while we proceed to have a really regular, common and optimistic evolution of the underside line. And really, the place we information the actions, the insurance coverage actions is extra on the underside line. And I believe that a couple of quarters in the past, now we have offered a historic sequence of information relating to the profitability of the insurance coverage enterprise, exhibiting that kind of, the underside line is rising round 5% a 12 months, which is quite aligned with non-life actions that develop at the next tempo, round 7% a 12 months and life insurance coverage actions that develop at a tempo, which is relating to the excellent within the area of two% or 2.5% or 3% a 12 months. So, possibly if charges stabilized at the next degree than earlier than, the capitalization impact on life actions goes most likely to enhance just a little bit the tempo at which the outstandings are rising within the insurance coverage actions. So, this might presumably enhance just a little bit the evolution of the underside line. However remember that what we had up to now when it comes to backside line for the insurance coverage actions has been round 5% a 12 months. And what we foresee going ahead is the continuation of this development. And once more, speaking about IFRS 17, we are actually fairly assured that even when it could be just a little bit extra unstable due to the mechanism of the contractual service – the purchasers – contractor service margin and so forth and so forth, we’re not going to vary considerably the profile of the profitability of the insurance coverage actions. So, that is extra the kind of steering that we take into consideration quite than the steering that will be centered on the highest line.

Amit Goel

Bought it. And simply when it comes to another sort of notable sort of modifications we must always take into consideration for subsequent 12 months versus this 12 months when it comes to prime line for the companies?

Jerome Grivet

Properly, it might take a protracted whereas if we need to assess business-by-business, contemplating that every enterprise has its personal drivers. However I’d say that, in fact, at Amundi, the principle driver is the evolution of the valuation of the belongings, as a result of the principle a part of the revenues is product of administration charges. And the excellent news is that administration charges are holding effectively in the meanwhile and much more than effectively as a result of they’ve improved between ‘21 and ‘22. It’s the efficiency charges that declined. We’ve talked lots concerning the web curiosity earnings on the retail banking entities at CACIB, on the client credit score enterprise. Once we use the stability sheet, it’s extra a ramification enterprise. So, in fact, we will have some non permanent difficulties to move to the client the rise in refinancing price. It’s the case in the meanwhile at Sofinco in France. However these companies are unfold enterprise. And on the finish of the day, when it stabilizes, it stabilizes at a ramification that’s overlaying all the prices, all the price of danger and so forth and so forth. And so we foresee that bettering going ahead. After all, CACF goes to positively profit from the acceleration triggered by the inclusion of the leasing actions coming from the take care of Stellantis. And CACEIS is clearly going to be additionally a development engine for the long run. Already now with the advantages that CACEIS is rising from the higher remuneration of its money actions. And likewise going ahead, with progressively as soon as the acquisition is accomplished with the combination of RBC Europe.

After I examine the ten.7% absolutely loaded to the 11% phase-in, that’s a 30 foundation level distinction, which is greater than friends and which appears to have really been rising year-to-date. So, the primary query is simply to attempt to perceive what’s the distinction between the phase-in and the absolutely loaded for CASA? And when that is going to converge, at which pace, principally, given it’s fairly a notable distinction, 30 bps? The second query is relating to Russian danger. You will have had round €200 million of decline within the publicity to Russia within the quarter. Are you able to simply replace us there? Is the publicity nonetheless performing? You aren’t seeing an elevated danger from that publicity? And possibly are you able to remind us the provisions that you’ve put aside on that publicity, please?

The distinction between the phasing and the absolutely loaded CET1 ratio is definitely 25 bps, not 30 bps. It’s the rounded numbers that we offer that make you suppose that 30 bps. It’s 25 bps. It’s going to be divided by two between now and finish of ‘23. So, it’s going to be all issues being equal, round 12 bps, finish of ‘23. And once more divided by two in ‘24, so most likely a negligible 6 bps, finish of ‘24. After which it’s going to vanish fully in ‘25.

So, it could occur that on a selected quarter, considered one of this publicity must be reclassified from S1 to S2 or from S2 to S3. And naturally, at the moment, there’s a modification within the degree of provision. And as we by no means remark particular person exposures, we’re not going to offer extra particulars on the evolution of the portfolio. It’s now a part of the, I’d say, regular price of danger, if something occurs on this portfolio on a selected quarter. So, the preliminary provision going again to your query was to guide.

Thanks very a lot.

Thanks. On the associated fee half, clearly, the dedication that now we have is to take care of the associated fee/earnings ratio beneath 60%. So, the dedication is when it comes to price/earnings ratio. However the forecast that now we have made within the medium-term plan is that we may very well be all issues being equal. And naturally, it will probably fluctuate on a yearly foundation or on a quarterly foundation. However all issues being equal, we might goal to additional enhance the associated fee/earnings ratio by posting in common, a optimistic jaws of 0.5% a 12 months. It’s a mean over the period of the medium-term plan. It’s not a dedication to maintain this optimistic jaws every quarter after the earlier one. And we’re presently – in relation to ‘23, we’re presently within the finances course of and you may be assured that we’re having, and we’re going to have very exact discussions with the pinnacle of each enterprise to be able to actually assess their capacities to achieve their particular person price/earnings ratio goal in a context the place there may be going to be a sure volatility of their capacities of reaching their income goal. After all, we should admit that there’s some inflation and truly inflation even in France, the place it’s decrease than elsewhere. It’s within the area of 6%, 6% to six.5%. On this context, managing the evolution of the associated fee base at round 3%, it’s not unhealthy. However we additionally need to protect our capability to respect our dedication relating to the associated fee/earnings ratio. So, that is a part of the current finances discussions we’re having with the heads of the companies. At CACF and the asset high quality within the client enterprise, it’s clear that it’s a enterprise during which we’re very reactive, and now we have instruments that present us the capability of adjusting with – by way of the pricing, adjusting the credit score requirements very quickly if we see some deterioration that will be extreme of the price of danger. We completely know that the price of danger we had on this enterprise final 12 months was beneath the common, beneath the extent we goal throughout the cycle. We’ve now a value of danger, which is round 130 bps. However really, it’s higher than that should you reallocate all of the parts of the P&L of the prior JVs, that are fairness accounted. In case you take into consideration the very fact – should you actually take into consideration their price of danger and their belongings, you’ll be nearer to 100 bps globally. So, it undoubtedly just isn’t an alarming degree, however we monitor very fastidiously the price of danger on this enterprise, and we is not going to hesitate to regulate the pricing and the credit score requirements if we expect at a sure time limit that the state of affairs is simply too sizzling and resulting in a possible deterioration of the state of affairs.

They usually clearly, such as you did clarify that there can be no main impression relating to P&L. However they stated one thing actually fascinating. They stated that mechanically IFRS 17 tends to make OCI to zero as a result of should you substitute mathematical reserves by finest estimate, finest estimate liabilities is evolving in the identical manner, kind of, of the asset aspect in IFRS 9. After which OCI is neutralized. So, my query is, on the finish of the day, should you implement IFRS 17, the day of your implementation, clearly, you have an effect as a result of your OCI goes to be lowered by the rise of liabilities. However on the finish of the day, you’ll not have any extra volatility so far as I perceive should you apply IFRS in the identical manner as will probably be utilized in a pure insurance coverage firm. Am I fallacious, or is there one thing I missed there? On the finish of the day, it’s an excellent information for you, the implementation of IFRS 17 between, as a result of it’ll make disappear the volatility of OCI.

Sure, it’s true that the volatility of OCI goes to be lowered, but it surely’s just a little bit extra complicated than that as a result of there may be some exception on IAS 39 or the implementation of IFRS 9 in the meanwhile. So, it’s not, I’d say 100% what you say, however globally, it’s true that we’re going into extra secure atmosphere with the implementation of IFRS 17. What’s going to be fascinating is that you’ll have – I don’t like IFRS 17, so it’s just a little bit perturbating for me to have to search out the nice facets of this regulation, however you could have a sign of – with the CSM, a sign of the quantity of future income which might be right here, which might be out there for the long run. So, it’s going additionally to be a reassuring component.

Pierre Chedeville

No, I’m okay about CSM. However for me, crucial reality, not less than for AXA, however I can translate for an additional firm is that the volatility of OCI disappear kind of. And my second query was about – are you able to disclose the mixed ratio? And lastly, you talked about the impression, the detrimental impression of TLTRO. However on the finish of the day, you stated that a part of this TLTRO was used to grant loans to SMEs, however the re-pricing of SMEs is rather more straightforward – simpler than the re-pricing for mortgages. So, on the finish of the day, you talked about a detrimental impression of €400 million in 2023. However on the finish of the day, a part of this detrimental impression must be balanced by the faster re-pricing on SMEs. Am I fallacious right here once more?

Jerome Grivet

Let me begin with the mixed ratio. It’s deteriorated just a little bit at Pacifica, the P&C actions. It’s now at 98.7%. The 12 months has been just a little bit tough from a danger standpoint, particularly with some local weather occasions, in fact, all French inhabitants has heard concerning the totally different occasions that befell this 12 months and particularly this summer time. So, however, it continues to be considerably beneath 100%. And naturally, within the context the place we’re, the pricing coverage of 2023 goes to be, in fact, an important component. With regards to TLTRO, effectively, when now we have set the speed for a mortgage for any buyer, be it an SME or be it a self-employed skilled or be it a family for dwelling mortgage, it’s set, and we’re not going to change, put up the speed as a result of the price of the useful resource has elevated. So undoubtedly, all issues being equal, the rise in the price of this useful resource that’s represented by the TLTRO goes to impression us instantly. However in fact, going ahead, and this is the reason we expect that we should take a look at this case with a dynamic view going ahead, there’s a progressively re-pricing – progressive re-pricing of the loans that we grant to our clients, and also you see that we haven’t talked about this exact level within the name. However because the starting of this 12 months, the pricing of dwelling loans in France and at our totally different networks has elevated fairly considerably. What I take into consideration, for instance, is that at LCL, the pricing of the loans – of the mortgage approvals that now we have given in October was within the area of two.2%, 2.3%, which isn’t the case for the loans which might be carried out presently, as a result of there may be all the time a time lag between the approval and the implementation. But it surely exhibits that there’s a re-pricing of the loans. However this re-pricing could have taken place even with out this hit on the price of the TLTRO. So – and the opposite manner round it’s to say that the price of the TLTRO is a success, the rise in the price of the TLTRO is a success in itself.

Pierre Chedeville

Sure, however mitigated by the re-pricing we must always not put minus €400 million…

Jerome Grivet

Sure. Pierre, even the re-pricing would have taken place even when the ECB hadn’t modified the pricing of the TLTRO. That’s the purpose.

Pierre Chedeville

Okay. Thanks.

The following query is from Kiri Vijayarajah with HSBC. Please go forward.

Kiri Vijayarajah

Hello. Good afternoon Jerome. Thanks for taking my questions. I’ve obtained a few simply coming again on the share buying with the regional banks. So, the press launch – within the press launch they are saying their possession received’t go above 65%. However given they’re at sort of, no matter, 56% in the meanwhile, might we see sort of extra purchases by the regional banks sooner or later? As a result of as you stated, at this time’s transaction is simply 3% of the share depend. So, not less than really, if the self-imposed cap is 65%, might we see extra transactions like at this time’s announcement? After which secondly, ought to we take into consideration this transaction as actually probably only a timing factor that the regional banks are briefly warehousing these shares for a time when it’s higher or extra handy to say, Crédit Agricole S.A. to truly do a correct buyback, say, for example, when your CET1 ratio is again above 11%, after which you’ll be able to then purchase these shares instantly from the regional banks at a time that extra fits you? So, is this sort of a stepping stone in the direction of a correct buyback, or am I sort of studying an excessive amount of into the state of affairs there? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

First level, I believe that, in fact, at present market worth of the share, €1 billion doesn’t lead the regional banks to 65%. That’s very clear. However I believe that the thought for them was to say, we set a goal or a ceiling, which is right here to remain, and we don’t need to reassess probably this degree if there may be one other operation. And likewise 65% has a advantage of a spherical quantity as a result of relying on the share worth, €1 billion above 57.1% might have led them to 60-point one thing. So, it was tough for them to say we don’t need to go above 60% as a result of they may very well be just a little bit stretched with this €1 billion. So, I believe 65% is a spherical quantity. It’s straightforward to articulate. It’s a reassuring quantity as a result of it’s in anyway, beneath two-third of the capital. So, it has many virtues. It doesn’t have any particular that means of signification. It has merely the advantage of being easy, a transparent lower, spherical and so forth and so forth. So, I believe you shouldn’t learn an excessive amount of behind this quantity. And are the warehousing shares earlier than CASA itself buys again the shares available on the market, I believe that is going very quick when it comes to subtility. If we had been to undertake a buyback, which we’re going to do, by the best way, usually as a result of as now we have stated each time we’re having a capital enhance for the staff, we’re going to purchase again the shares available on the market to be able to get rid of this newly created shares. So – no, there isn’t a hyperlink between any buyback that will be undertaken by Crédit Agricole S.A. And this can of the regional banks to make an excellent use of some additional capital that they’ve.

Kiri Vijayarajah

Bought it. That’s very clear. Thanks.

The following query is from Benoit Valleaux with ODDO. Please go forward.

Benoit Valleaux

Sure. Good afternoon. If you can begin on my aspect on insurance coverage? Perhaps firstly, on life insurance coverage. Identical to to know you booked your nine-month figures and relating to funding margin on euro-dominated product. I imply did you assume a secure funding margin in comparison with final 12 months or not? And equally, I imply do you see a major enhance in lapse price starting of subsequent 12 months? And the way do you shield yourselves when it comes to ALM coverage? And secondly, in P&C, so that you talked about 98.7% frequent ratio, which was, the truth is, secure in Q3 versus H1. And as you stated, there have been plenty of web cat loss right here in Q3 in France. Are you able to quantify, I imply the quantity of web cat losses you booked and brought into consideration worth enhance and claims inflation? Are you able to verify that you just plan to enhance your frequent ratio to 95%, possibly 96% in the midst of subsequent 12 months? Thanks.

Jerome Grivet

Thanks. The road was not so good. So, I attempted to guess full your query. The primary one is about funding margin. You imply the investments of the life insurance coverage actions, is that proper?

Benoit Valleaux

Sure, precisely. I imply the margin in your product. I imply should you assume secure funding margin in comparison with final 12 months?

Jerome Grivet

No. Truly, we make investments usually relying, in fact, of the online inflows, plus additionally the redemption of current belongings that now we have in our books. So, we usually make investments, and we make investments at market costs. So, we attempt to be agile and to cut back just a little bit our investments after we really feel that yields are inferior to they may very well be and attempt to speed up investments in different – in higher interval. However there isn’t a particular forecast relating to the yield of the investments that we intend to make in ‘23. What we will say is that over ‘22 already, now we have progressively improved the reinvestment price of our belongings as in comparison with what was the case in ‘21. And naturally, we count on this to proceed.

Benoit Valleaux

Okay. Sorry. Perhaps I’m not that clear. I imply do you – I’m simply mentioning the hole between funding return and crediting price based mostly on…

Jerome Grivet

Okay. Excuse me. No, in ‘21, full 12 months of ‘21, the common yield of the funding of Predica was round 2.5% in ‘21. And what we paid to our policyholders was, I believe 1.6% – or 1.3%, excuse me. So, we had a ramification of greater than 100 bps between the yield of the belongings and the revenue sharing price. So, I don’t know precisely what’s going to be the yield of the belongings for the total 12 months ‘22, however we count on this to be kind of on the similar degree because the one we had final 12 months. The revenue sharing price, I don’t know what it’s going to be. We can not rule out the opportunity of rising it, however you understand that now we have the PPE during which we will take what we have to complement if wanted, the yield of the belongings. So – and the PPE represents, I believe 7% of – the 6.5% of excellent. So, it’s – it’s actually an important reserves that now we have and that may assist us accommodate if wanted, any hole or any shrinking between the yield of the belongings and the revenue sharing price. The second query was about ALM coverage, however I’m not positive I absolutely obtained your query, excuse me.

Benoit Valleaux

Now, what do you see, I imply attributable to enhance in rates of interest, that there may very well be some lapse charges I’m fastened or I imply some leisure, any off share [ph] on there should you want. In that case, how do you shield this potential…

Jerome Grivet

Additionally within the insurance coverage actions?

Benoit Valleaux

Sure, in life insurance coverage…

Jerome Grivet

Okay. Sure, in fact, we make common stress testing, inner stress testing to be able to assess our capability to withstand to some redemption, excessive redemptions. And so now we have a liquidity ratio that we preserve at completely at a really excessive degree. And so now we have the – we really feel that now we have the capability to withstand any sort of stress on redemption, if any. However in the meanwhile, we don’t really feel any sort of redemption motion. And once more, this PPE is right here to point out our policyholders that we’re prepared to enhance if wanted, the yield of the belongings to be able to exactly keep away from any transfer of redemption. And the solvency ratio is – continues to be very excessive. It’s above – it was above 220% finish of June. We haven’t printed the third quarter ratio. We are going to publish it on the idea of solely twice a 12 months, but it surely’s very excessive, and it’s a lot increased than our danger urge for food framework. The danger urge for food framework that now we have is way decrease than that, really. So, now we have the capability to be versatile if wanted. Okay?

Benoit Valleaux

Okay.

Jerome Grivet

Thanks. I believe it was the final query. So, thanks lots everybody and have an excellent day and an excellent weekend for people who don’t work on November eleventh. Bye-bye.
