1 Scandinavian Banking in Poland and the View on Poland From a Banker Egil Rindorf Head of Nordic & International Corporate Banking Poland & the Baltic States

4 No overhang of excessive private sector debt Source: Eurostat No 4

5 Economic activity Slowdown underway The Polish economy is slowing down amid negative impact of Euroarea recession and domestic fiscal consolidation, but Poland remains one of the resilient economies in the EU. The key reason for the slowdown is weaker external demand, although Poland benefits from not being as open economy as its regional peers and from the fact that its dominant export market is relatively strong German economy. Domestic fiscal consolidation adds to headwinds for the Polish economy, with the pinch felt particularly strongly in public investments. Weakening in investment activity is also taking place as many large infrastructure projects were finished before UEFA Euro 2012 in June. Economic slowdown is also driven by weakening in consumption growth due to elevated inflation, deterioration in labour market conditions and adjustments in households balance sheets (there is a need to rebuild savings after the savings rate has dropped to historical lows over the past few years while there is no need to reduce debt because private sector debt to GDP ratio in Poland is at one of the lowest levels in the EU being one of the strengths of the economy). In mid-2013 a recovery should start amid rebound in the Euro area, an expected responsese of domestic macroeconomic policy and gradual beginning of large investments in the energy sector (conventional power plants, wind farms, nuclear power plant, exploration of shale gas). Activity momentum weakens notably, but Poland remains growth outperformer Jan-08 Jan/08 % y/y % y/y Foreign trade turnover Apr-08 Jul-08 Oct-08 Jan-09 Apr-09 Jul-09 Oct-09 Jan-10 Apr-10 Jul-10 Oct-10 Jan-11 Apr-11 Jul-11 Exports Imports Oct-11 Jan-12 Apr-12 Source: GUS, Nordea Markets % y/y % y/y Economic activity indicators Apr/08 Jul/08 Oct/08 Jan/09 Apr/09 Jul/09 Oct/09 Jan/10 Apr/10 Jul/10 Oct/10 Jan/11 Apr/11 Jul/11 Oct/11 Jan/12 Industrial output Construction output Retail sales Apr/12 Source: GUS, Nordea Markets Jul/

6 The End of the World as We Know It... 6

7 Implications Banks should have more, not less capital Banks should have more liquidity Interest rates have been too low Reversing the above means higher financial costs This means lower, sustainable, demand for credits The global banking machine is much too big! No 7

8 This is permanent For the rest of our professional careers, we will have to clean up the mess and live with the lessons No 8

9 How Ratings Adjust Assets There is a complex formula (determined by the regulatory authorities) that takes the rating, the product and collaterals to determine how to translate your nominal loan to a risk weighted asset (loan) 9

10 Price Shock Good customers are used to getting good pricing and not so good expect higher pricing, but not 2-3 times higher! 10

11 Why Then Invest in Poland? Poland is the biggest country in Central and Eastern Europe (population 38,1 mio) Poland is in the best fiscal and financial condition among all new EU countries according to the world bank Polish employment costs are among the lowest in EU Poland ranks well above EU average in terms of quality of human resources There are many academic centers in Poland with 2 mio students Polish students have good knowledge of foreign languages (more than 50% speak fluent English) 11 Source: KPMG

12 Key policy areas to consider when entering Poland Risk strategy Currency strategy Non-commercial considerations CSR environmental ethical Investment considerations Organization Legal obstacles unknown law system Distribution channels Other practises and unknown bureaucracy... and more 12

13 Be Prepared to Change Your Plan! 13

14 So What is the Nordea Story? 14

15 Why Exactly is Nordea in Poland? To follow our clients in a growth market We sell individual value generating solutions for each customer and develop longstanding mutually beneficial cooperation Nordea is first choice to a comparatively large proportion of Nordic companies Leading Cash management partner in the Nordic region All services are harmonized with Nordea standards To capitalize on our strong industry teams 15

16 Long-Term Business Strategy in Poland one of the leading banks in Poland both on corporate and individual markets to offer a wide range of new banking products and services branches in selected major cities and electronic channels (e-banking, m-banking) cooperation with at least 50% of Nordic Companies operating in Poland 16

17 Can I borrow locally? and is it the best solution? The Nordea concept is: One-point-of-entry for every customer This means that main part of negotiation of terms and credit decision is made in Denmark by your normal contact Lending can be booked in Denmark or locally as you wish Most types of banking products are almost as they are in Denmark Local borrowing may be the best solution In order to make pledges locally for tax reasons For practical reasons It is often more bureaucratic to establish the business locally than in Denmark but day-to-day operations are normally smooth No 17

18 Cash Pool is Avaiable Company A (Negative Account Holder) Current account Cash pool agreement Power of attorney (for Bank) Overdraft limit of xxx PLN Company B (Positive Account Holder) (1) The Bank has a credit claim towards Company A resulting from the used part of overdraft limit granted (4) Company B becomes the real lender towards Company A and thus is entitled to receive interest payable on the credit claim (3) against payment Bank (2) The Bank sells its credit claim towards Company A to Company B...

29 Other Nordea Products Direct Debit DD is an instruction given to the Bank by the Creditor for debiting the Debtor s account with a specified amount and crediting the Creditor s account with the same amount simultaneously. The Debtor has a right to withdraw from a DD at any time. DD enables more efficient realization of periodical payments. It may be applied for regular payments made by individuals as well as for fixed payments between business entities. Mass Payments Reconciliation System (MPRS) MPRS is based on the coded information about the payer in the Bank account number. A different virtual account number, including a unique personalizing identifier, is assigned to each payer. Payments are transfered to this virtual account. The Customer s current account is credited with one aggregated amount of all the payments. MPRS enables quick and unequivocal identification of the payment made by the payer and automatic booking of the received payments as well as its identification in the Customer s accounting system. 29
