Today, Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) published its FY 2020 Annual Report and updated its outlook. There were no material changes to the key figures compared to the preliminary numbers published on 5 February 2021. RBI generated consolidated profit of EUR 804 million, demonstrating the resilience of the business in a challenging environment. Earnings were nonetheless significantly lower year-on-year, reflecting the lockdowns, the subsequent recession, rate cuts and CEE currency weakness. The bank's digitalization strategy proved to be a strong advantage, especially during the pandemic. This strategy will continue to be consistently executed and thereby support future growth at attractive returns. The complete 2020 Annual Report can also be found online at http:// ar2020.rbinternational.com [http://ar2020.rbinternational.com/]. Outlook We expect modest loan growth in the first half of 2021, accelerating in the second half of the year. The provisioning ratio for FY 2021 is expected to be around 75 basis points, as moratoria and government support programs expire. We remain committed to a cost/income ratio of around 55 per cent - possibly as soon as 2022 depending on the speed of the recovery. We expect the consolidated return on equity to improve in 2021, and we target 11 per cent in the medium term. We confirm our CET1 ratio target of around 13 per cent for the medium term. Based on this target we intend to distribute between 20 and 50 per cent of consolidated profit.
