Financial Results Review1 In the first half of 2018, the gradual improvement of the macroeconomic environment in Greece supported by the successful conclusion of the fourth and final review of the third economic adjustment program (TEAP) in June, along with the positive outcome of the European Banking Authority (EBA) Stress Test for the domestic banks affected positively the Greek banking sector. In this context, the Group remained profitable by expanding its pre-provision income in the second quarter of the year, enhanced further its liquidity position and reduced the Non Performing Exposures (NPEs) stock, exceeding the semi-annual target. As at 30 June 2018 total assets, following mainly the sale of Romanian disposal group and the transition to IFRS 9, amounted to €56.8bn (Dec. 2017: €60.0bn). At the end of June 2018 gross customer loans reached €46.8bn (Dec. 2017: €47.2bn), of which €40.4bn in Greece (Dec. 2017: €40.9bn) and €6.3bn in International Operations (Dec. 2017: €6.3bn).

During the first half of 2018, deposits from Greek operations increased by €2.2bn to €26.8bn, driven by the improvement in depositors’ sentiment, following the gradual stabilisation of the domestic macroeconomic environment and the significant Public Sector deposit inflows. In addition, deposit balances from International Operations increased by €0.3bn to €9.6bn. Group deposits reached €36.4bn (Dec. 2017: €33.8bn) and as a result, the (net) loan–to–deposit (L/D) ratio improved to 99% for the Group (Dec. 2017: 110%).
