Carlos Cobo's questions to CaixaBank/ADR (CAIXY) leadership • Q4 2023

Question

Asked about the long-term normalization of cost of risk, the reasons for no Basel IV impact, and the potential duration of new interest rate swaps.

Answer

The bank agrees that cost of risk should normalize at a lower level than historically due to the deleveraged Spanish economy. The 'no impact' from Basel IV is due to some positive rebalancing effects and a lack of significant negative impacts. If new swaps are used, they would likely be of a shorter, more prudent duration.
