Management expects double-digit loan growth in both wholesale and retail,
excluding potential El Niño impacts

with growth supported by existing customers migrating to multi-installment

Asset quality
CoR guidance was reiterated at 1.7–2.1% despite the additional El Niño
provisioning this quarter.
Base case assumes a strong El Niño; management mentioned some ~9% of the
total loan portfolio as being exposed.
