Near-term NIM outlook
Repricing of the fixed rate mortgages will
be a material tailwind (c. ISK 150bn of
loans that currently have a negative NIM)
High deposit beta in Iceland has been a
headwind during the rate hiking cycle but
can support the NIM as rates come down
Examples of strategic initiatives
impacting NIM
Loyalty projects support customer retention
and an enhanced resilience in the NIM and
provide growth opportunities in higher
margin lending
Broadening wholesale funding options
aims to lower volatility in the funding

Average policy rates
Strategy focused on ROE and not on
absolute growth. Net loan book growth in
general however expected to broadly follow
economic growth
Capital velocity provides more efficient
balance sheet management
In general, expected reduction in policy
rates are an initial headwind
Focusing on stable deposits that provide
stable loan book funding will support the
resilience of the margin through the cycle
Capital optimization plans will increase
percentage of funding with interest bearing
liabilities while enhancing ROE
Arctic opportunities create lending
opportunities in FX and over time could
broaden funding options in FX
