Slovakia is one of the most opened economies in Europe. Exports and imports relative to
GDP amount to 189% (as of 2017), the most from among the CE-4 countries.
86% (as of 2017) of Slovak exports go to EU, the highest share from among all 27 EU
members.
Germany is Slovakia’s most important trading partner. Directly it buys 21% of Slovak
exports and indirectly (being a key importer of Slovakia’s next key trading partners)
probably as much too.

THE SLOVAKIA – BOND YIELDS
The ECB asset purchase programme APP launched in March 2015 affects Slovak interest
rate environment particularly heavy. This is due to the scarcity of available bonds for the
ECB’s purchases on the thin Slovak market.
FISCALLY, SLOVAKIA IS IN GOOD SHAPE
THANKS TO LOW INDEBTEDNESS
Slovakia closely watch on its
debt
Beyond the European require-
ments, Slovakia approved in
2011 a constitutional fiscal
responsibility law, which
specifies a set of penalties
once the debt surpasses set
thresholds.

Slovak banks are profitable, albeit in recent years profits came under pressure
Bank levy (costing 300bps in ROE when introduced in 2012). In 2015 there was a
relief as Bank levy halved, from 0.4% of the base to 0.2%. Current rate will be in force
until 2020.
Intense competition
Low interest rate environment
Cost management compares favorably against many Western European banks.

The Revenues have increased
year over year mainly thanks to
trading income.
NII was primarily impacted by the
low interest rates also coming
from increasing competition on the
Mortgage and Consumer loans
market partially compensated by
the increasing volumes.
The bank showed rise of
operating costs by 30%.
However among other factors
there are some extraordinary such
as income from litigations in 2017.
The bank was able to keep its
portfolio of loans in good shape
with satisfactory NPL ratio. IFRS 9
adoption allowed lower PL loans
provisions creation compared to
PY.

Widening of cover pool by including housing loans backed by residential properties
Maximum LTV at the level of 80%
Compulsory overcollateralization at minimum level of 5%
Including derivatives to the cover pool
Mandatory liquidity buffer (180 days)
Mandatory yearly stress testing
Special maturity extension in case of issuer's insolvency with the aim to allow selling of the cover pool

Strengthening of the role of Covered Bonds Programme Administrator
New disclosure requirements
Mortgage bonds issued before year 2018 can be transferred together with the all covering mortgage
loans to the new covered bond programme according to the new law by the end of 2018.
In that case the transferred mortgage bonds will be treated as new covered bonds with the
exception of maximum LTV (staying at the level 70%) and the maturity extension in case of issuer's

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH
OVERVIEW
Underwriting
& Risk
Policies
Collateral
Management
& Portfolio
Monitoring
Collection
All risk policies related to origination are applied equally on all housing loans regardless of their presence in the
cover pool. Portfolio management and monitoring is performed on all housing loans, with possibility to distinguish between
those in and out of the cover pool.
Credit delegated powers are fully centralized and granted only within risk management division at VUB headquarters. All
housing loans applications in terms of credit are processed with steps that are either automated (by rules in risk policies) or
executed by corresponding risk management roles under credit delegated powers policies.
Housing loans underwriting techniques includes rating cut-offs according to PDs with corresponding risk based pricing,
income verification required by the local regulator including operational stress test on interest rate, Loan to Value policy
based on several LGD impacting variables and their combinations, and methodology for collateral value acceptance on the
top of official external evaluations.
Besides policies applied within underwriting process, complex monitoring and portfolio management approach is
adopted during the whole lifecycle of the housing loan. Past due timelines, NPLs, rating distributions, vintages, nonstarters
and first payment defaulters are analyzed regularly in “PD area” while collateral concentration, residual LTVs, soft to hard
collection migrations and general collection efficiency in “LGD area”. Additionally, collateral values are subject to regular re-
evaluations supported by regularly validated statistical models.
Collection process consists of standard phases for soft and hard collection with standardized steps and collection
strategies (phone calls and SMSs messages from early delinquency stages, through letters and tailor made solutions
including payment calendar rescheduling and forbearance, to loan acceleration and liquidation of the collateral). Collection
activities on the housing loans have no relation to cover assets as housing loan covering particular bond issue is
automatically replaced by suitable candidate in case housing loan is more than 90 days past due.
CREDIT QUALITY (PAYMENT DISCIPLINE)
ON VUB’S HOUSING LOANS
Delinquency rate-s across vintages shows better
performance of loans originated in 2012 and later indicating
strong combination of risk policies and stability on the
market. Even 2011 vintage does not show unhealthy levels
of past dues.
In terms of payment discipline, VUB perceives environment
of mortgages as very favorable for longer time period
already.
Past due rate timelines show decreasing trend
(improvement) for several years already with no signs of
deterioration.
NPL rates confirm the same message, while one shot
increase at the beginning of 2015 was driven by
methodological change towards harmonized group NPL
definition. Otherwise, continuous decrease of NPLs due to
portfolio improvement and collection success is confirmed
throughout whole observed time period.

CREDIT QUALITY (RECOVERY MEASURES)
ON VUB’S HOUSING LOANS
Evolution of collection effectiveness is showing very positive results for longer time period, mainly in:
1. Stock in soft collection under control despite very significant portfolio growth recently
2. Very low migrations between soft and hard collections as cases are successfully resolved before loan acceleration
3. Decreasing stock in hard collection where key drivers are principal decrease and full repayment
Residual LTVs are recomputed regularly taken into
consideration current outstanding on the housing loans as
well as re-evaluated collateral. VUB adopted conservative
constrain not allowing increase of the collateral value within
re-evaluation.
Residual LTVs are showing improvement in terms of high LTV
concentration risk due to :
1. Executed LTV policy tightening activities in
order to meet regulatory limits defined by local
regulator at the end of 2014.
2. Adoption of LTV excess insurance (where
crystallized loan loss related to LTV over 80%
can be subject to insurance claim)
