    Rohith Chandra-Rajan's questions to BARCLAYS (BCS) leadership • Q3 2023

    Question

    Asked for details on U.K. deposit trends through Q3 and into October, a clarification of the new NIM guidance, and the outlook for deposit trajectory and NIM into 2024.

    Answer

    Deposit outflows in Q3 were steady due to intense competition. The NIM guidance range reflects this uncertainty; if Q3 trends continue, NIM would be at the top end of the range. For 2024, no specific outlook was given, but they highlighted a positive impact from the structural hedge, a neutral impact from mortgage churn, and a negative, unpredictable impact from ongoing deposit behavior.
