Financial Stability Report • 2018 2018 ISSN 2500-9729 Financial stability: the condition in which the financial system (financial intermediaries, markets and market infrastructures) is capable of withstanding shocks, without significant disruptions in the financial intermediation process and the supply of general financial services. Systemic risk: the risk that the inability of one participant to meet its obligations will cause other participants to be unable to meet their obligations when they become due, potentially with spillover effects threatening the stability of or confidence in the financial system, economic growth and welfare. The purpose of the "Financial Stability Report" is to raise public awareness of development of the Latvian financial system and draw attention to systemic risks representing potential threats to the stability of the Latvian financial system. The "Financial Stability Report" analyses and evaluates the performance of the Latvian financial system and risks, in particular focussing on the credit institution operation on the basis of financial market data available up to the end of March 2018, economic data available up to the end of March 2018 or at the moment of compiling the current report and credit institution, NBFS and financial infrastructure data available up to the end of March 2018. Forecasts are also based on the most recent available data. The "Financial Stability Report" uses the division of credit institutions into two groups since Latvia's credit institution sector is composed of two different segments. Group 1 comprises credit institutions which granted more than 50% of their loan portfolio to domestic customers and received more than 50% of their deposits from domestic customers over the past three years. The major portion of funding of these credit institutions consists of deposits by domestic customers and financing provided by their Nordic parent banks. Group 2 is made up of other credit institutions which primarily provide services to foreign customers and receive deposits from foreign customers. Data on the branches of foreign banks registered in the Republic of Latvia have been disregarded for the purposes of calculating ROE, the total capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, the liquidity ratio set by the FCMC; nor have they been used for liquidity and credit risk sensitivity and stress tests. Curly brackets enclose year-on-year data. Charts and tables have been compiled on the basis of the following data sources: Charts 1.1 and 1.2 – the EC, Charts 1.3 and 1.4 – Bloomberg, Table 1.1 – financial statements of credit institutions, Chart 1.5 – the CSB, Chart 1.6 – the EC, Chart 1.7 – the CSB, Chart 1.8 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data of Latvijas Banka, Chart 1.9 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by Latvijas Banka, the CSB and FCMC, Chart 1.10 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by Latvijas Banka and the CSB, Chart 1.11 – Latvijas Banka and Bloomberg, Chart 1.12 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the CSB, Latio Ltd., Ober Haus Real Estate Latvia Ltd. and Arco Real Estate Ltd., Chart 1.13 – Eurostat, Chart 1.14 – the CSB, Charts 2.1 and 2.2 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.3 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.4 – Latvijas Banka and the FCMC, Charts 2.5–2.7 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.8 – the FCMC, Chart 2.9 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.10 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data of the FCMC, Charts 2.11–2.14 – Latvijas Banka and the FCMC, Table 2.1 – the FCMC and ECB, Table 2.2 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.15 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data of Latvijas Banka, Charts 2.16–2.20 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 2.21 – the FCMC, Chart 2.22 – estimates by the ECB, FCMC and Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the FCMC, Chart 2.23 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the FCMC, Chart 2.24 – estimates by the ECB, FCMC and Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the ECB and FCMC, Tables 2.3 and 2.4 – estimates by Latvijas Banka, Chart 3.1 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by Latvijas Banka, the FCMC and CSB, Chart 3.2 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data of Latvijas Banka, Chart 3.3 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the CSB, Chart 3.4 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by Latvijas Banka and the CSB, Charts 3.5 and 3.6 – Latvijas Banka, Chart 3.7 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), FCMC, Lietuvos bankas and Pensionikeskus, Chart 3.8 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data provided by the OECD and the Law on State-funded Pensions, Charts 3.9 and 3.11 – estimates by Latvijas Banka based on data of the FCMC, Charts 4.1–4.3 and A1.2–A2.5 – Latvijas Banka, Chart A2.1 – the credit institution survey conducted by Latvijas Banka, Chart A2.2 – Latvijas Banka and the CSB, Charts A2.3–A2.5 – Latvijas Banka, Tables A3.1 and A3.2 – the FCMC, Charts A4.1–A4.3 – the credit institution survey conducted by Latvijas Banka.

    AS Citadele banka th Public financial report for the 4 quarter of 2016 1 AS Citadele banka th Public financial report for the 4 quarter of 2016 LETTER FROM THE MANAGEMENT KEY EVENTS IN 2016 2016 marks the year of accelerated growth in Baltic States of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as well as in Switzerland. Citadele’s strategy is to be the regional champion, the preferred bank of choice for private customers and small and medium sized businesses (SME) in the Baltics to provide their daily business and banking needs. Citadele continues to improve its products and services for these clients, as well as other customers in the Corporate and Private Capital Management segments. Another accolade for success in 2016 was the listing of Citadele’s subordinated debt securities in the regulated market for the first time. Citadele attracted EUR 40 million in new funding from the issuance of these subordinated bonds. The funds were used to increase the bank’s Tier 2 capital base to fund growth, as well as to pay back the loan received from the Latvian Privatisation Agency ahead of the schedule in January 2017. Sizeable investments were made in the infrastructure of new products and information technology to support the implementation of Citadele’s growth strategy. In 2016, Citadele introduced several unique products and services to the Latvian market including microcredit for SME customers and an online Credit Rating Tool for private customers. The Group further developed and upgraded its new mobile banking application, offering customers a modern and convenient banking solution with an authorisation tool built into the application.

Management Report The economic environment Results related to gross domestic product show that Latvia’s economy managed to maintain a stable cruise speed during the beginning of this year. Economic output during the 1 st quarter of 2015 increased by 2.0% in comparison to the same period last year. On a quarterly basis, GDP continued to grow by an average of ½ of a percentage point each quarter. The year has begun quite successfully for the retail sector, with revenues during Q1 increasing by 7.5% on an annual basis. These excellent results are partly down to increased wages and the relatively low level of activity among consumers during the start of 2014, right after the euro was introduced. Declining energy resource prices also had a certain role in the increase in household spending. After an interruption of two quarters, output in the processing industries increased by 4%, and the sector’s contribution toward GDP was once again positive. Since the beginning of last year, during the 1 st quarter of 2015 the trends of the metal processing sector – one that had been hindered during previous years by growth in the processing industries – have no longer been negative.

Competition is measured by two alternative indexes, the Lerner index and the market share, while we consider the Z-score and loan loss reserves as proxies for bank risk. In line with the theoretical predictions of Martinez-Miera and Repullo (2010), we find an inverse U-shaped relationship between competition and financial stability. This then means that above a certain threshold, the lack of competition is likely to exacerbate the individual risk-taking behaviour of banks, and could be detrimental to the stability of the banking sector in the Baltic countries. The threshold is around 0.60 for the Lerner index, and close to 50% for market share in terms of assets. The policy implica- tions are that the existence of such a threshold suggests that the future evolution of the structure of the banking industry in these countries is of critical importance.
