The growth of the loan portfolio in the analyzed period is due to the active development of lending programs, especially in the corporate segment. Together with the expansion of the working loan portfolio, the Bank's activities in the settlement of problem debt, write-off of debt at the expense of the formed provisions allow to keep the share of problem debt in the net loan portfolio (taking into account the formed provisions) at a low level - as of July 1, 2023, the corresponding indicator was 3.1%.

The Bank has a high level of liquidity with an upward trend and significant margin of compliance with the requirements for the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) - as of the beginning of July 2023, the actual value of the LCR for all currencies and foreign currency was 208% and 179% respectively (with a minimum required value of 100%), which indicates a high level of the Bank's resilience to short-term liquidity shocks. The actual value of the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) as of 01.07.2023 amounted to 195%, which exceeds the minimum required value by a significant margin and indicates the availability of a sufficient level of long-term funding. Due to the positive financial result, the Bank increased its regulatory capital to the level of UAH 1.8 billion, and the value of the capital adequacy ratio R2 increased to 29% as of July 01, 2023 (with the required 10%).
