operates
Financial environment
The following highlights several trends in the regulatory landscape and
continuing uncertainty that have a major impact on ING Bank N.V.'s (including
ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch'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 ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank
N.V., Sydney Branch'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.
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
5

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.
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) 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 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.
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) will participate in a
public/private sector partnership initiated by Europol and the Institute of
6


Element
Title
International Finance. This high-level forum aims to find better ways to share
information within existing laws.
In general, ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch)
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 ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney
Branch's) banking services.
ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch's) regulatory costs
increased to EUR 901 million from the already elevated level of EUR 845
million in 2016. This was due to ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V.,
Sydney Branch's) contribution to local deposit guarantee schemes, the European
resolution fund and bank taxes.
2017 marked the kick-off of Brexit negotiations. ING Bank N.V. (including ING
Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) 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
ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch's) business. ING
Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) 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. ING
Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch'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, ING Bank
N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) has to become faster, more
agile and more innovative.
With its long track record and strong brand, ING Bank N.V. (including ING
Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) believes it is well placed to seize these
opportunities and become a better company for all of its stakeholders. ING
Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) 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 ING Bank N.V.
(including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) offers them. ING Bank N.V.
(including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) continues to work hard to win their
hearts and minds, demonstrating its concern for them and all its stakeholders.
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) aims to be even
clearer about the strategic choices it makes.
Societal challenges
In ING Bank N.V.'s (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch's) view, both
climate change and the so-called fourth industrial revolution can lead to societal
7


Element
Title
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
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) already knows that
they will change traditional business 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.
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) 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. ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank
N.V., Sydney Branch) 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.
