Greece: the NPL reduction targets of the systemic banks
The targets set for the end of 2021 have been reconfirmed by the banks after the publication of the first quarter 2019 results.
More specifically, the NBG’s operational targets report a decrease of €11.5 bn, of which € 4.3 bn is the target for 2019. The target set to the end of 2021 is €2.4 bn NPLs and 4.3 bn NPEs (bank) and €4.7 bn (group). By achieving these goals, the NPE index will be decreased to low-level (low teens). At group level, a 5.9 €bn reduction will come from sales and securitizations, €2.2 bn from auctions and liquidations, €3 bn from debt recovery and adjustments and €400 m from NPL write-offs.
Alpha Bank: By the end of 2018 the bank’s NPEs were €21.9 bn at country level and 25.7 billion euros at group level. This year, NPEs will be reduced by €5.7 bn, and will reach €16.2 bn.
