Explanation
Reason for the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year:
Total special commission income rose by 2.06% due to a 10.35% increase in the net loans and advances portfolio and a 17.74% increase in net investments.
Reason for the increase (decrease) in net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year:
Net income increased compared to the same quarter last year. This is primarily attributed to higher net gains/(losses) from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, net gains/(losses) from the sale of non-trading investments, net foreign exchange gains, other net operating income, and net special commission income, along with a decrease in the net provision for expected credit losses and other provisions.
This was offset by increased costs related to salaries and employee-related expenses, other general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and building-related expenses. Additionally, there was a decrease in dividend income, net trading income, and net fees and commissions.
Reason for the increase (decrease) in the total provision (reversal) for expected credit losses and other losses, net during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the previous year:
The provision for expected credit losses decreased during the period, mainly due to the improved credit quality of the portfolio. The bank's resilient asset quality, effective provisioning approach, and the continued effectiveness of credit policies in line with IFRS 9 requirements collectively resulted in a decrease in the net total provision for expected credit losses and other losses.
Reason for the increase (decrease) in special commission income during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter:
The improvement in special commission expenses effectively mitigated the slight decrease of -0.50% in total special commission income.

Reason for the increase (decrease) in the total provision (reversal) for expected credit losses and other losses, net during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter:
The provision for expected credit losses increased during the period. This rise is primarily linked to portfolio growth and alignment with macroeconomic assumptions in accordance with the methodology of IFRS 9. This reflects a proactive approach that enhances the bank's financial position and stability, which cumulatively resulted in an increase in the net total provision for expected credit losses and other losses.
