industries in
Financial environment
which it operates
The following highlights several trends in the regulatory landscape and
continuing uncertainty that have a major impact on the Issuer's own
operating environment, as well as on that of its competitors. This includes
the economy and current low interest-rate environment; increasing
regulatory scrutiny and costs; digitalisation and changing customer
behaviour; and what the Issuer's stakeholders expect of it.
Increased global economic momentum
Economic momentum picked up further in 2017, outpacing the global
economic growth seen in 2016. In the United States, growth has remained
strong. This is now the second-longest economic expansion since the end of
World War II. At the same time inflation has stayed low, allowing the
Federal Reserve to follow a very gradual path of interest rate increases.
In the euro area, all member states' economies are growing. The eurozone's
economic performance was particularly positive, as the area recorded its
lowest unemployment rate in nine years and economic confidence reached
pre-crisis levels.
In the United Kingdom, economic growth has slowed, against a background
of continued uncertainty about the future relationship with the European
Union. The economy in Asia remained strong with growth rates of the
advanced economies in that region generally accelerating. Growth in major
emerging-market economies has improved overall, helped by a rebound in
some commodity producers that experienced recessions in 2015­16.
Rates increase, but remain low
Longer-term government bond yields firmed somewhat compared to their
2016 lows on the back of a strengthening global economy, the Federal
Reserve's U.S. rate increases and the anticipated end to exceptionally easy
monetary policy elsewhere.
6


Element
Title
However, with inflation in most developed economies staying low, longer-
term yields remained modest while equity markets in advanced economies
performed well and corporate credit spreads were at, or close to, their
tightest levels since the beginning of 2008. Volatility was subdued despite
increased geopolitical tensions around North Korea.
Euro on the rise
The euro rose against the U.S. dollar in 2017, propelled by the strengthening
economic outlook in the euro area, diminishing political uncertainty and
expectations about the tapering of quantitative easing in the euro area.
Regulatory landscape and continuing uncertainty
Continued delays around the Basel `IV' discussions (i.e. the revisions to
Basel III) addressing the variability of banks' internal models, which were
not finalised until December 2017, led to ongoing international uncertainty.
This had an impact on strategic planning and business decisions for many
banks. At a European level, the Single Supervisory Mechanism continued to
strengthen its supervisory role through the European Central Bank ("ECB").
This was reflected in the priorities it set for 2017: business models and
profitability drivers; credit risk, with a focus on non-performing loans and
risk concentrations; and risk management.
The Single Resolution Board adopted its first resolution decisions for banks
from Italy and Spain. Meanwhile the resolvability of banks has been further
improved by building up loss-absorption buffers. European global
systemically important banks are advancing their bail-in issuances and will
likely meet the internationally agreed total loss-absorbing capacity
("TLAC") standards per 2022. Resolution authorities have provided
European banks with initial targets for minimum requirement for own funds
and eligible liabilities ("MREL"). These targets will be reviewed once the
ongoing discussions on the bank recovery and resolution directive
("BRRD") and the review of capital requirements regulations ("CRR")
have been finalised.
The Single Resolution Fund is also showing a steady increase. The size of
the fund is now almost EUR 18 billion, aiming to meet the target
requirement of EUR 55 billion in 2023. Despite the fact that the discussion
on the European Deposit Insurance Scheme ("EDIS") didn't show much
progress throughout 2017, the completion of the Banking Union gained
political momentum. In the course of 2018, further steps are expected to
ensure its completion by 2019. The Issuer would also welcome a deepening
of the Economic and Monetary Union, which would help to enhance
economic and financial stability in the eurozone.
The range and complexity of non-prudential regulation (regarding other
things than financial strength) continues to increase. Regulation is becoming
more stringent in areas like customer due diligence, and transaction
monitoring to detect and report money laundering ("AML"), terrorist
financing and fraud. Individual country laws and specific regulations often
prevent cross-border information sharing, between public and private
7


Element
Title
authorities and between private parties. This restricts the effectiveness of
bank systems and is most evident when large financial institutions operate a
global compliance model.
The Issuer will participate in a public/private sector partnership initiated by
Europol and the Institute of International Finance. This high-level forum
aims to find better ways to share information within existing laws.
In general, the Issuer continues to favour a more harmonised European
approach to regulations. This would help to align the customer experience
across borders and could accelerate the digitalisation of the Issuer's banking
services.
The Issuer's regulatory costs increased to EUR 901 million from the already
elevated level of EUR 845 million in 2016. This was due to the Issuer's
contribution to local deposit guarantee schemes, the European resolution
fund and bank taxes.
2017 marked the kick-off of Brexit negotiations. The Issuer is monitoring
these closely to make Britain's exit from the EU as smooth as possible for
its business and customers.
Competitive landscape
Technology is removing a number of the barriers to entry that once insulated
the Issuer's business. The Issuer faces competition from many different
directions, with relatively new players providing more segmented offers to
its customers. Technology giants, payment specialists, retailers,
telecommunication companies, crowd-funding initiatives and aggregators
are all entering the market for traditional banking services. The Issuer's
customers, in turn, are more willing to consider these offers.
Safe banking requires specific knowledge of financial services, in-depth
knowledge of customers, and rigorous risk-management systems. As
competition from outside the banking sector continues to increase, the Issuer
has to become faster, more agile and more innovative.
With its long track record and strong brand, the Issuer believes it is well
placed to seize these opportunities and become a better company for all of
its stakeholders. The Issuer is a leader in digital banking, and it has scale
combined with local market expertise. It is investing in building profitable,
mutually beneficial relationships with its customers based on the quality of
its service and the differentiating experience the Issuer offers them. The
Issuer continues to work hard to win their hearts and minds, demonstrating
its concern for them and all its stakeholders. The Issuer aims to be even
clearer about the strategic choices it makes.
Societal challenges
In the Issuer's view, both climate change and the so-called fourth industrial
revolution can lead to societal changes.
The effects of climate change, including the growing scarcity of water, food,
energy and other material resources, pose daunting social and environmental
challenges. The causes and the solutions to these challenges are complex,
but the Issuer already knows that they will change traditional business

Element
Title
models.
Business models, but more importantly people's lives, will also be
influenced by the so-called fourth industrial revolution ­ fast-changing
technology such as artificial intelligence that will cause many jobs to
change, be relocated or eliminated altogether.
The Issuer believes in taking the long view and in going beyond just
mitigating the harm related to these challenges ­ it wants to drive
sustainable progress. Banks can bring about change through their financing
choices. The Issuer aims to use its position to help lead the global transition
to a low-carbon and self-reliant society, tackling climate change and the
fourth industrial revolution.
