125、Calculated as the ratio between the amount of write-down provision and gross exposure.The macroeconomic scenario and monetary policyIn the early months of the year,the recovery of the euro area economy and the improvement of the labor market continued,thanks to substantial support from economic poli
126、cies.Shortages of materials,equipment,and labor,however,held back production in some industries,and high energy costs began to affect household incomes and corporate profits.Inflation,which had risen sharply in the last months of 2021,also continued its upward trend.Russias subsequent invasion of Uk
127、raine had consequences for the economy,in Europe and beyond.The conflict and its associated uncertainty severely affected business and consumer confidence,led to trade disruptions and material shortages,and contributed to high energy and commodity prices.Against this backdrop,inflation has continued
128、 its run.As an effect of Russias invasion of Ukraine,the European Commission made it official in early March that the conflict would cause a slowdown in the economy.The EU executive had decided to give governments some freedom in finalizing government budgets in 2023,not to open excessive deficit pr
129、ocedures in the spring and not to apply the rule requiring a debt cut of one-twentieth per year.In the third quarter,the global economy continued to be affected by high inflation,worsening financial conditions,uncertainty related to the conflict in Ukraine,weak activity in China,and,to a lesser exte
130、nt than at the beginning of the year,supply difficulties along value chains.The global cyclical picture deteriorated again in the fourth quarter of 2022:according to available indicators,activity in advanced countries-still affected by the repercussions of the war in Ukraine and high inflation-slowe
131、d.Consumer inflation remained high(9.2%in December on an annual basis),although it has been declining since November;the underlying component continued to strengthen partly due to a gradual transmission of past energy price increases.According to Bank of Italy estimates,economic activity in Italy we
132、akened in the last quarter of 2022.Both the dampening of the recovery of value added in services,which returned to pre-pandemic values already in the summer months,and the decline in industrial production would have contributed to this.Household spending would have slowed,despite measures to support
133、 disposable income amid high inflation.In the autumn months,harmonized consumer inflation reached new highs(12.3%in December on an annual basis),still supported by the energy component,which continues to transmit to the prices of other goods and services.According to Bank of Italy estimates,which co
134、nsider both direct Consolidated report on operations Summary dataFinecoBank Accounts and Reports 202223and indirect effects,in the average of the fourth quarter of 2022 just over 70%of total inflation was attributable to energy;over the same period,government energy measures would have mitigated con
135、sumer price dynamics by more than one percentage point.The Bank of Italys projections for the Italian economy continue to be purely indicative in nature,given the current context of high uncertainty associated mainly with the evolution of the conflict in Ukraine.In the baseline scenario,it is assume
136、d that tensions associated with the war will still remain high in the first months of 2023 and gradually decline over the forecast horizon.After an increase of nearly 4%in 2022,GDP would slow in 2023 to 0.6%.Growth would return to strength in the following two years,thanks to acceleration in both ex
137、ports and domestic demand.Inflation,which rose to nearly 9%in 2022,would fall to 6.5%in 2023 and more sharply thereafter,to 2.0%in 2025.In a scenario assuming permanent suspension of energy commodity supplies from Russia to Europe,output would contract in 2023 and 2024 and grow moderately in the fol
138、lowing year;inflation would rise further in 2023,then fall sharply in the next two years.The scenario does not take into account new measures introduced to mitigate the effects of these possibly more unfavorable developments;it also does not consider the possibility that the sharp weakening of econo
139、mic activity would be reflected,more than suggested by historical regularities,on inflation,leading to its lower value at the end of the forecast horizon.With regard to monetary policy decisions,at its meeting on July 21st,2022,the Governing Council of the European Central Bank(ECB)decided to raise
140、the three key interest rates;the interest rates on the main refinancing operations,the marginal lending operations,and deposits with the central bank were raised to 0.50%,0.75%,and 0.00%,respectively,effective July 27th,2022.At subsequent meetings,the Governing Council of the ECB decided on further
141、increases,and finally,at its meeting on February 2nd,2023,it raised the interest rates on the main refinancing operations,the marginal lending facility and deposits with the central bank to 3.00%,3.25%and 2.50%,respectively,effective February 8th,2023.The Governing Council of the ECB has,in addition
142、,announced that it will continue to raise interest rates significantly at a steady pace and keep them at sufficiently restrictive levels to ensure a timely return of inflation to its 2%target over the medium term.In addition,the holdings of securities held by the Eurosystem under the Asset Purchase
143、Program(AAP)will be reduced at a measured and predictable pace,averaging 15 billion per month from the beginning of March 2023 until the end of June 2023 and will then be determined over time.As for the PEPP(pandemic emergency purchase program),the Governing Council of the ECB intends to reinvest th
144、e principal repaid on securities maturing under the program at least until the end of 2024.In any case,future reduction of the PEPP portfolio will be managed to avoid interference with the appropriate monetary policy stance.The Governing Council will continue to flexibly reinvest the principal repai
145、d on maturing securities in the PEPP portfolio to counter risks to the monetary policy transmission mechanism attributable to the pandemic.The Group has assessed that the current macroeconomic environment and possible uncertainties,mainly related to the development of the conflict in Ukraine,will no
146、t have a significant impact on its balance sheet.In addition,the rise in market rates will have a positive effect on net interest income,as already seen during the last quarter of 2022.Lastly,it should be noted that in the calculation of ECL,the Group has adopted scenarios that take into account the
147、 Russia-Ukraine conflict and inflation growth.Consolidated report on operations Summary data24 Accounts and Reports 2022 FinecoBankThe Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic The first weeks of 2022 were marked by a new wave of infections in our country caused by the rapid spread of the
148、 Omicron variant,started in late 2021,which led to the extension of the state of emergency until March 31st,2022(Christmas Decree-D.L.No.221 of Dec.24,2021).The following months saw a gradual attenuation of the contagions,and Decree-Law No.24 of March 24th,2022,Urgent provisions to overcome the meas
149、ures to counter the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic,as a result of the termination of the state of emergency,ended the state of emergency,which had been resolved by the Council of Ministers on January 31st,2020,and gradually extended.The rule modified the anti-Covid measures,phasing out,starting Apr
150、il 1st,the restrictions then in place.At the same time,a military operation by Russia in Ukraine began on February 24th,2022,triggering a military conflict and an international crisis.Since February,the European Union has imposed several sanctions packages on Russia,including targeted restrictive me
151、asures(individual sanctions),economic sanctions and diplomatic measures.The conflict has weighed on the economy in Europe and beyond its borders;it affected trade,caused material shortages,and contributed to high energy and commodity prices and,as a result,a significant rise in inflation.On March 14
152、th,2022,the European Securities and Markets Authority(ESMA)published the Public Statement ESMA71-99-1864 on the impacts of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis on EU financial markets,which outlines the supervisory and coordination activities undertaken in this context and contains recommendations to issuer
153、s on the information to be disclosed when approving their 2021 financial statements and subsequent financial reports.In this context,on March 18,2022,Consob drew the attention of listed companies and other supervised issuers to the following issues coordinated in ESMA:disclose as soon as possible an
154、y inside information regarding the impacts of the crisis on fundamentals,prospects,and financial situation,consistent with transparency requirements under the Market Abuse Regulation,unless conditions exist for delaying the disclosure of the same;and provide information,to the extent possible on bot
155、h a qualitative and quantitative basis,on the current and foreseeable direct and indirect effects of the crisis on business activities,exposures to affected markets,supply chains,financial position,and economic performance in the 2021 financial reports,if these have not yet been approved,and at the
156、annual shareholders meeting or otherwise in interim financial reports.Consob expects the auditors and supervisory bodies to pay special attention to the above issues in their audits of financial reports,having particular regard to the effects on the issuer and its subsidiaries of the restrictive mea
157、sures adopted by the EU.In light of the recommendations issued by the National Cybersecurity Agency,Consob recommends that special attention should be paid to the assessment of cybersecurity-related risks.Finally,it points out the advisability of preparing adequate and effective organizational and t
158、echnical safeguards aimed at mitigating this risk,including providing for the strengthening of information flows with supervisory bodies.On May 13rd,2022,ESMA published Public Statement ESMA32-63-1277“Implications of Russias invasion of Ukraine on half-yearly financial reports”with the intent to pro
159、mote transparency and consistent application at the European level of disclosure requirements in half-yearly financial reports,with particular reference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.In particular,ESMA emphasizes the need for issuers to provide information that adequately reflects the current a
160、nd,to the extent possible,anticipated impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on their financial position,performance,and cash flows,as well as the importance of providing information on the principal risks and uncertainties to which issuers are exposed.In addition,ESMA provides specific recommend
161、ations on the application of accounting standards in the context of half-yearly reporting,recalling the elements that may be impacted by the conflict and the aspects that issuers should consider in their evaluations and estimates,and on the information that issuers should provide in interim reports,
162、as well as their consistency with halfyearly reporting.In addition,on May 19th,2022,Consob published the Attention Reminder No.3/22,by which the Authority incorporates the contents of the ESMA Public Statement.Finally,on October 28th,2022,ESMA published Public Statement ESMA32-63-1320,European commo
163、n enforcement priorities for 2022 annual financial reports,in which it specified the relevance of the contents reported in Public Statement ESMA32-63-1277 also in the context of the preparation of annual financial reports,as well as setting out the European common enforcement priorities for the prep
164、aration of 2022 annual financial reports of issuers admitted to trading on EEA regulated markets.With reference to ICT and Cyber risks,on February 24th,2022,the CSIRT(the National Cybersecurity Agencys response team)called for raising attention and taking all measures to protect ICT assets,an alert
165、addressed to Italian companies that have dealings with Ukrainian operators.On February 28th,2022,the agency produced a new alert,this time addressed to all national digital infrastructure operators,urging them to adopt a posture of maximum cyber defense:the offensive could in fact be directed agains
166、t the coalition that has mobilized to support the attacked country.In the crosshairs,as far as Italy is concerned,are generally ministries,government agencies,and companies strategic to the national interest including financial institutions.The Groups objective is to ensure the protection of clients
167、 by guaranteeing data security,declined in its characteristics of availability,confidentiality and integrity:in light of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis on EU financial markets,special attention has been paid to the assessment of related risks.In compliance with the measures provided for by current leg
168、islation,Fineco has undertaken a series of initiatives aimed at verifying its security posture and operational readiness,also making use of the indications and recommendations suggested by various national and international bodies.Without prejudice to the adoption from the outset of best practices i
169、n the field of security,both in terms of technical and Consolidated report on operations Summary dataFinecoBank Accounts and Reports 202225organizational/procedural measures,in any case,additional mechanisms have been evaluated and introduced to deal with any impacts arising from the contingent situ
170、ation,ensuring at the same time constant and continuous monitoring of the evolving environment.Risks,uncertainties and impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic Despite this context of uncertainty,in 2022 there are no significant impacts for the Group either in terms of deteri
171、oration of credit exposures(migration of positions to non-performing or increase in the credit risk of counterparties with which the Group conducts credit activities)or in terms of liquidity management,and from a forward-looking perspective there are no impacts in terms of strategic orientation,obje
172、ctives and business model.In fact,the Groups business model appears to be diversified and well-balanced:in fact,the Group can count on a business model whose revenue sources are widely diversified and which allow it to deal with complex stress situations such as the current one.The FinecoBank Groups
173、 revenues are based on three main components(banking,brokerage,and investing),which tend to have uncorrelated trends in times of crisis.The Group has no direct exposure to the Russian assets affected by the conflict,and indirect exposures,represented by guarantees received under pledge-backed financ
174、ing transactions(Credit Lombard and pledged overdraft),are of insignificant amounts.The Group has no direct exposure in commodities and has limited exposure in rubles.With respect to(i)obligations to freeze funds with respect to sanctioned persons and entities,(ii)restrictions on the buying and sell
175、ing of certain securities because they are issued by or linked to sanctioned issuers,(iii)restrictions on financial flows to and from Russia,unless specific exceptions are made,and(iv)reporting obligations to the relevant authorities,the Group uses safeguards to monitor the names of sanctioned perso
176、ns and entities and the ISINs of sanctioned financial instruments,which are necessary to initiate the consequent asset freezing activities required by the regulations.As of December 31st,2022,there were no direct or indirect exposures with individuals or entities subject to sanction measures applica
177、ble to the Group,therefore,no asset freezing actions required by the regulations have been implemented on the individuals concerned.Finally,the Group constantly monitors the evolution of the regulatory framework of reference through information tools that enable the timely updating of the sanctions
178、framework applicable to the Bank and the appropriate adjustment of the safeguards in place.The financial investments held by the Group,consisting mainly of government securities,are held by the Parent Company for long-term investment purposes and are accounted for in the Held to Collect portfolio me
179、asured at amortized cost;therefore,measurement at fair value does not have an impact on the consolidated income statement,consolidated shareholders equity and consolidated own funds.With reference to the financial instruments in the trading portfolio,it should be noted that the Group tends not to ta
180、ke risk positions;the positions in the proprietary portfolio are mainly represented by over-the-counter derivative contracts(CFDs and Knock Out Options)traded against customers and hedged managerially with listed equity securities and derivative contracts listed on regulated markets or entered into
181、with institutional counterparties.In 2022 there was no significant deterioration in the Groups loan portfolio of loans to ordinary customers.In fact,the latter consists mainly of loans granted by the Parent Company FinecoBank to retail customers,mainly backed by financial and real estate collateral,
182、and disbursed in application of a careful and prudent lending policy.In the case of land loans,the average loan-to-value is,in fact,about 50 percent and the credit facilities granted involve the acquisition of guarantees with conservative margins.Most of the moratoriums granted by FinecoBank to supp
183、ort customers financial needs related to the COVID-19 health emergency,which are of insignificant amount overall,have also resumed payments:moratoriums still outstanding as of December 31st,2022 amount to 383 thousand.It should be noted that the moratoria,if there are no additional elements not stri
184、ctly related to the moratorium under consideration,have been recognized in the accounts by applying the so-called modification accounting,in line with ESMA guidelines,as the contractual changes have been assessed as insubstantial.The Group conducted a qualitative assessment and considered that these
185、 support measures provide temporary relief to borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,without significantly affecting the economic value of the loan.For the purpose of calculating expected losses,the Group uses specific models that leverage Probability of Default(PD),Loss Given Default(LGD)and E
186、xposure At Default(EAD)parameters that are conservatively estimated and to which specific adjustments are made in order to ensure full consistency with accounting regulations.Expected loss for institutional counterparties is calculated using risk parameters provided by the external provider Moodys A
187、nalytics;for retail counterparties,not having internal rating systems available,PD and LGD parameters are estimated by product type through models developed internally by the CRO Department(personal loans and mortgages)or proxies(other exposures).To implement the requirements of IFRS 9 accounting st
188、andard,the parameters are adjusted by forward-looking analyses through the development of specific scenarios,developed by external provider Moodys Analytics.The scenarios as of December 31st,2022 incorporate forward-looking information that considers different possible developments in the pandemic c
189、risis and the military conflict in Ukraine.Specifically,the forward-looking component is determined by three macroeconomic scenarios,a base(Baseline)scenario,a positive scenario,and an adverse scenario.The baseline scenario is weighted at 40%as it is considered the most likely to be realised;the pos
190、itive and adverse scenarios,on the other hand,are weighted at 30%,and represent alternative best-and worst-case realizations,respectively.If the conflict results in a decrease in economic growth(Italy and Spain first and foremost),this scenario may lead to higher value adjustments for the exposures
191、held,loans and debt securities,due to the update of the Forward Looking Information component of IFRS 9 accounting standard.The Groups overall liquidity situation remained solid and stable,and during 2022 all liquidity adequacy indicators and analyses showed ample safety margins with respect to regu
192、latory and internal limits.In addition,FinecoBank did not encounter any impediments or deteriorations in the conditions for access to markets and completion(volumes,prices)of related transactions(repurchase agreements,purchase and sale of securities).With regard to derivative transactions,the increa
193、sed volatility in financial markets has made cash movements related to margining more substantial and volatile,but without materially and negatively affecting the Groups forecasting capacity and overall liquidity situation.Underlying this higher absorption must also be considered the increase in vol
194、umes traded by Fineco.As the Parent Company has invested part of its assets in high-quality liquid assets(HQLA)debt securities issued by governments and supranational organisations,the value of the Groups assets could be impaired due to possible Consolidated report on operations Summary data26 Accou
195、nts and Reports 2022 FinecoBanknegative changes in fair value.This reduction,which has no impact on the income statement and shareholders equity as the financial investments are recognised in the Held to Collect portfolio measured at amortised cost,could lead to a decrease in the liquidity potential
196、ly available from the refinancing of the HQLA portfolio-either through market transactions,such as repurchase agreements,or through refinancing transactions with the central bank-which,in any case,is largely consistent and constantly growing thanks to new investments.For further details on liquidity
197、 management and related risks,please refer to Part E-Information on risks and related hedging policies of these notes to the consolidated accounts.With reference to the projections of future cash flows,assumptions and parameters used for the purposes of assessing the recoverability of the goodwill,b
198、rands and Fineco domains recorded in the financial statements,it should be noted that the parameters and information used are significantly affected by the macroeconomic market framework,which could experience unforeseeable changes in light of the uncertainties highlighted above.In this regard,it sh
199、ould be noted that as at December 15th 2022,the Board of Directors approved the procedure adopted to determine the value in use of goodwill,brands and domains(model,assumptions and parameters used).The results,approved by the Board of Directors on 7 February 2023,confirm the sustainability of the go
200、odwill recorded in the financial statements,in none of the hypothesised scenarios would an impairment loss arise,confirming a value in use significantly higher than the carrying amount.Also the sensitivity analyses carried out show that the impairment test would reach a break-even level assuming cha
201、nges in the main parameters used in the valuation model that cannot be reasonably assumed at present.For further details on the impairment test and related sensitivity analyses,see Part B-Information on the consolidated balance sheet-Section 10-Intangible assets of these notes to the consolidated ac
202、counts.On the same date,the Board of Directors approved the method for determining the value in use of the investment in Vorvel Sim S.p.A.,formerly Hi-MTF Sim S.p.A.,(model,assumptions and parameters used),the results of which show a recoverable value higher than the value recorded in the financial
203、statements.It should be noted that the Group,specifically the Parent Company,owns one property for functional use and one for investment use both located in Italy.In order to assess whether there are any indications that the assets may be impaired,also considering the current uncertain environment,t
204、he Bank has requested appraisals from independent third-party companies from which no evidence has emerged that would lead to the need for impairment under IAS 36.With regard to actuarial gains/losses calculated in accordance with IAS 19R,related in particular to severance pay and FISC of personal f
205、inancial advisors,the actuarial assumptions used reflected the current economic outlook and resulted in a positive impact of 12.3 million,net of tax effect,on revaluation reserves.With reference to the application of IFRS 2 Share-based payments,it should be noted that no change has been made to the
206、estimated vesting of share-based payments.There was also no impact on the application of IFRS 2 Share-based payments,no change has been made to the estimated vesting of share-based payments,and regarding the recoverability of deferred tax assets.The amount of deferred tax assets recorded in the fina
207、ncial statements must be tested to verify that there is a likelihood of future taxable income that would allow their recovery.The test carried out at the close of the financial statements as of December 31st,2022,resulted in a positive outcome,revealing no uncertainty in this regard.It should be not
208、ed,however,that it cannot be ruled out that,by their nature,the estimates and assumptions reasonably made may not be confirmed in the actual future scenarios in which the Group will operate.Consolidated report on operations Summary dataFinecoBank Accounts and Reports 202227Events during the period S

222、policy scenario and in particular the change in the terms and conditions applied to the third series of the TLTRO program.In fact,the Governing Council of the ECB revised its stance in the second half of 2022 by significantly raising key interest rates and making considerable Consolidated report on

224、rest rate will be indexed to the average of the applicable ECB deposit rates for each operation during that period(and no longer referring as previously,to the entire life of the operation)and has therefore introduced new and additional dates for voluntary early repayment of amounts,so as to ensure

234、particular,to lending to customers and operational risk due to the update of the Relevant Indicator,with the inclusion of 2022 revenues and the exclusion of 2019 revenues.With reference to the capital requirements applicable to FinecoBank Group,it should be noted that,further to the Supervisory Revi

240、29 bis of the CRR,which allowed certain exposures to central banks to be excluded from the overall Leverage exposure in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.This temporary treatment is no longer applicable starting from April 1st,2022.Furthermore,it should be noted that at the end of the administrative pr
241、ocess related to the determination of the Minimum Requirement of Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities(MREL),in March 2023 FinecoBank received from the Bank of Italy and the Single Resolution Board the updated decision on the determination of the MREL,which replaces the previous decision communicated t
242、o the public in August 2021.Starting from 1 January 2024,FinecoBank shall comply,on a consolidated basis,with an MREL requirement equal to 18.91%of TREA(Total Risk Exposure Amount)-21.45%inclusive of the Combined Buffer Requirement-and equal to 5.25%of LRE(Leverage Ratio Exposure),ensuring a linear
243、build-up of own funds and eligible liabilities towards the requirements.It is recalled that the intermediate MREL LRE target on 1 January 2022 was set at 4.11%in the previous decision7.For the purpose of compliance with the requirement and the computation of other eligible liabilities issued by Fine
244、co,there is no subordinationrequirement in the issuance of eligible MREL instruments(e.g.senior unsecured)at the current stage.As at 31 December 2022,FinecoBank is above the requirements to be met from 1 January 2024.With respect to the initiatives put in place in 2020,which are still in force,pleas
