Enrique Navarro's questions to Itau Unibanco Holding SA (ITUB) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Enrique Navarro from Santander Brasil asked about the drivers of the corporate portfolio's growth, given headwinds from the IOF tax and currency appreciation, and questioned if it stemmed from more aggressive policies.
Answer
President & CEO Milton Maluhy Filho clarified that the growth was diversified across segments like agribusiness and middle-market companies, and was achieved without changing the bank's risk appetite. He stressed that the bank maintains strong price discipline and would rather lose market share than profitability, attributing the performance to a consistent, long-term portfolio management strategy.
