Assets

The Bank’s total assets as at the end of 2020 amounted to PLN 115,668,150 thousand and were higher by PLN 9,076,020 thousand, or 8.5%, compared to the end of 2019.

The most important change in the Bank’s asset structure compared to the end of 2019 was the increase in the share of the securities portfolio (+4.9 p.p.) with a simultaneous decrease in the share of the loan portfolio (the sum of portfolios measured at amortised cost and at fair value), which decreased by 4.0 p.p. and cash and balances with the Central Bank by 1.4 p.p.

The composition of assets is dominated by loans and advances to Customers (sum of portfolios measured at amortised cost and at fair value), which accounted for 62.2% of total assets at the end of 2020, compared to 66.3% at the end of 2019. The increase in the net volume of loans and advances amounted to PLN 1,360,865 thousand (+1.9%) and related to the retail portfolio (+13.1%) with a decrease in the institutional portfolio (-5.8%). The increase in the value of the portfolio was influenced among other things by the weakening of the PLN against the CHF, EUR and USD, related to the development of the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the currency markets.

The second largest asset item were securities, which accounted for 29.4% of total assets at the end of 2020. (end of 2019: 24.5%). In 2020, their value increased by PLN 7,850,008 thousand, or 30.1%, primarily as a result of an increase in the portfolio of bonds issued by banks and bonds issued by other financial institutions (including BGK and PFR under programmes related to the so-called anti-crisis shield).

Simultaneously with the above changes, there was a decrease in the share of cash and balances with the Central Bank from 4.4% to 3.0% (in value terms by PLN 1,236,276 thousand, i.e. by 26.5%) and an increase in the share of derivative financial instruments from 0.8% to 1.3% (increase by PLN 730,731 thousand, i.e. by 91.2%).

The value of collateral held for Customer loans at the end of 2020 amounted to PLN 2,649,256 thousand. Detailed information on collateral held is included in Note 55.2. of the Stand-alone Financial Statements of BNP Paribas Bank Polska S.A. for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2020.

In December 2017, the Bank performed a securitization transaction of the portfolio of cash and car loans. The transaction is a traditional securitization involving the transfer of ownership of the securitized receivables to SPV (BGŻ Poland ABS1 DAC based in Ireland). The revolving period is 24 months. Transaction is subject to amortisation since January 2020.

As a result of securitization, the Bank obtained financing in exchange for the transfer of rights to future cash flows resulting from the securitized loan portfolio in a value of PLN 2,300,471 thousand as of 22 November 2017 (the cut-off date). The maximum deadline for full redemption of bonds and repayment of the loan is 27 April 2032.

SPV issued bonds with a total value of PLN 2,180,850 thousand on the basis of securitized assets, and received a loan of PLN 119,621 thousand, which were secured by a registered pledge on the rights to cash flows from securitized assets. As at the end of December 2020, the value of bonds and loans amounted to PLN 1,390,318 thousand.

The main benefit of the performed transaction is a positive impact on capital adequacy ratios and improvement of liquidity and diversification of financing sources.

In the light of the provisions of IFRS 9, the contractual terms of the securitization do not fulfil the conditions for derecognition of securitized assets. In connection with the above, the Bank recognizes securitized assets in “Loans and advances to Customers” as at 31 December 2020 at net value of PLN 1,393,049 thousand.

The Bank acts as a servicer in the transaction.

The transaction is affected by factors related to the effects of the coronavirus epidemic. On the one hand, the value of flows and future flows in the transaction are affected by the deferrals of credit instalments granted by the Bank since 19 March 2020 in order to mitigate possible negative effects related to the coronavirus pandemic, and currently in particular those resulting from the Act of 19 June 2020 on interest rate subsidies on bank loans granted to entrepreneurs affected by COVID-19 and simplified procedure for approval of the agreement in connection with COVID-19.

On the other hand, the decisions of the Monetary Policy Council to reduce the NBP base interest rates, in particular the reference rate to 0.1% on 29 May 2020, which resulted in a reduction of the maximum interest rate on loans and advances and a decrease in the market WIBOR rates also have an impact.

At present, it is not possible for the Bank to precisely estimate the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on this transaction, in particular in relation to a possible long-term deterioration of borrowers' situation.

Liabilities and equity

As at 31 December 2020, the Bank’s total liabilities amounted to PLN 103,614,612 thousand and were PLN 8,206,784 thousand or 8.6% higher than at the end of 2019. The share of liabilities in the Bank’s total liabilities and equity was 89.6% in the analysed period (+0.1 p.p. compared to the end of 2019).

The biggest changes in the structure of liabilities in 2020 were a decrease in the share of amounts due to Customers, as well as an increase in the share of items such as subordinated liabilities, amounts due to banks, fair value adjustments of hedged and hedging items and derivative financial instruments.

The structure of liabilities is dominated by amounts due to Customers. Their share amounted to 88.3% at the end of 2020 and decreased by 4.4 p.p. compared to the end of 2019. In value terms, the volume of these liabilities increased by PLN 3,021,224 thousand, i.e. by 3.4% compared to December 2019 and amounted to PLN 91,466,551 thousand. This increase took place despite the reduction of the NBP interest rates almost to zero, resulting in a reduction of interest rates on bank deposits.
