THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Sept. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The first half of 2022 was turbulent. The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic had significant economic consequences, which also affected our clients. Due to high inflation, the ECB has tightened its monetary policy and substantially higher interest rates apply.

Even in these difficult times, BNG Bank has shown itself a reliable and sustainable partner towards its clients in the public domain. We contribute ideas on the social issues we face, and through our loans with attractive rates, we provide over half of the total lending in the public domain. In the first half of 2022, we granted EUR 6.6 billion in long-term loans (first half of 2021: EUR 5.6 billion). Our long-term loan portfolio increased by EUR 0.7 billion to EUR 87.8 billion. The increase in the long-term loan portfolio was mainly due to a higher than expected demand, in particular from municipalities. As a result of the rising interest rates, some of our clients decided to take out loans earlier than they had initially planned.

Financial
BNG Bank has a healthy financial position. In the first half of 2022, we achieved an interest rate result of EUR 220 million, and our net profit for this period amounted to EUR 206 million. The increase in the net profit (first half of 2021: EUR 187 million) was mainly due to a reduction in the provisions for expected credit losses, and a higher result on financial transactions.

BNG Bank continues to have a strong capital position, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 37%, and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 40%. Thanks to this strong capitalisation, as well as our low risk profile and triple A ratings, our bonds remain attractive even in these times of uncertainty. In the first half of 2022, we raised EUR 8.7 billion in long-term funding. This included the highly successful issue of four new SDG Bonds (related to the Sustainable Development Goals) with a volume of over EUR 3.5 billion.

Strategy
In the first half of 2022, BNG Bank continued to implement its ‘Our Road to Impact’ strategy. The financing of the transitions of our clients is helping us to achieve the maximum social impact together. In order to strengthen our strategic partnership with clients, a decision was made to modify the commercial organisation.

Making an impact through partnerships
Gita Salden, CEO BNG Bank: ‘As a public bank, we have the same interests as our clients. BNG Bank wants to help make the Netherlands better and more attractive; we achieve this mainly through our loans, but also by connecting the various players in the public domain, based on our expertise as a bank. A good example of this is the prepaid card for Ukrainian refugees. In 225 municipalities in the Netherlands, BNG Bank’s prepaid card offers a solution for refugees from Ukraine. The debit card is an initiative of BNG Bank and was previously used by municipalities for homeless people. Thanks to good cooperation with various parties involved, we were able to make the card suitable for Ukrainian refugees within just a few weeks and quickly scale up production.’

Outlook for 2022
We expect to achieve our full-year target of granting new solvency-free long-term loans for a total amount of EUR 9.8 billion. In the second half of 2022, we will also continue to optimise our organisation in order to improve its alignment with client wishes. The measurement of our clients’ impact will be carried out for the second time. In addition, BNG Bank’s climate action plan will be published.
