SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common shares is subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to the nature of our business as a holding company of banking, insurance and financial institutions, our operations in Peru and our common shares. The following list summarizes some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.
Risks Relating to Our Businesses
• | As a holding company, all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries and our right to receive any distribution of assets of our subsidiaries will be effectively subordinated to the rights of our subsidiaries’ creditors, which may in turn impact our ability to pay dividends, if any, and corporate expenses. |
• | Our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, and changes in existing regulations, implementation of future regulations, or non-compliance with license and operating requirements and capital requirements may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | The adoption of new international banking and insurance guidelines may cause our subsidiaries to require additional capital and could cause their cost of funds to increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | The banking and insurance markets are exposed to macroeconomic shocks that may negatively impact household income and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | We could sustain losses if Interbank’s asset quality declines, its portfolio becomes less diverse, its impairment losses are inadequate or if it is unable to obtain required funding for growth. |
• | Our financial results may be negatively affected by changes to IFRS accounting standards, investment losses and interest rate changes, including changes resulting from the discontinuation of LIBOR and related transition to alternative rates. |
• | Actual mortality and morbidity rates and other factors may differ from those assumed in the calculation of technical reserves. Such differences, as well as Interseguro’s failure to underwrite and price insurance premiums accurately, may have a material adverse effect on Interseguro’s financial condition and results of operations. |
• | A reduction in our subsidiaries’ credit ratings could increase their cost of borrowing funds and make their ability to raise new funds and renew maturing debt more difficult. |
• | Our subsidiaries may suffer losses in their investment portfolio because of risks associated with real estate investments and reliance on Peruvian sovereign and global bonds. |
• | Cyber-security events and interruption, mismanagement or failure in our subsidiaries’ information technology systems may adversely affect their operations, negatively impact our operations, and result in litigation. |
• | Our subsidiaries are susceptible to fraud, unauthorized transactions and operational errors. |
• | Any failure to comply with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and antitrust laws and regulations could damage our reputation or expose us to penalties. |
Risks Relating to Peru
• | Global and local health concerns, including in relation to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, other outbreaks of disease, government response measures to the same and their macroeconomic effects may adversely affect our business and results of operations. |
2
• | Economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, inflation and unemployment, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses. |
• | The degree to which dollarization of the Peruvian economy hampers monetary policy, which may in turn adversely affect our business. |
• | Corruption and ongoing high profile corruption investigations may hinder the growth of the Peruvian economy and have a negative impact on our business and operations. |
• | Fluctuations in the value of the sol |
• | Potential exchange controls implemented by the Peruvian government could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. |
• | The Peruvian economy could be adversely affected by economic and geopolitical developments in regional or global markets, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the subsequent impact on trade or macroeconomic variables. |
• | The market volatility generated by distortions in the international financial markets may affect the Peruvian capital markets and the Peruvian banking system. |
• | The operations of our subsidiaries could be adversely affected by an earthquake or other natural disasters. |
Risks Relating to the Common Shares
• | There may be a lack of liquidity and market for our common shares, the price of which may be volatile. |
• | We may raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of other securities, which may result in dilution of the interests of our shareholders. |
• | The significant share ownership of our controlling shareholder may conflict with the interests of the holders of our common shares and may have an adverse effect on the future market price of our shares. |
• | Holders of our common shares may have fewer and less well-defined rights than shareholders of a company organized in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. |
• | Holders of our common shares may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us, our officers and directors in Peruvian courts and such judgments with respect to our common shares will be payable only in soles |
• | We are subject to different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those holders of our common shares may be familiar with in the United States. |
• | We or one or more of our subsidiaries could be considered a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences for U.S. investors. |
• | If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected. |
• | Our status as a foreign private issuer allows us to follow alternate standards to the corporate governance standards of the NYSE, which may limit the protections afforded to investors. |
• | Peruvian corporations, including our subsidiaries, may be jointly and severally liable for any unpaid Peruvian capital gains tax related to the transfer of the common shares. |

We have included in this Annual Report on Formthe financial services and insurance sectors in Peru are based, out of necessity, on information obtained from the SBS and the SMV.

20-F
regarding our relative market position and financial performance, however, do not include information relating to Inteligo as Inteligo is not regulated by and does not report to the SBS or the SMV.Certain comparative financial information related to our compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) included in this Annual Report on Form
20-F
has been prepared based on information reported pursuant to SBS GAAP, except for Inteligo.

and (iii) subtracting one from the result. In addition, our Peruvian subsidiaries pay dividends to us on the basis of the SBS GAAP financial statements as further described in this Annual Report on Form20-F.

to performing loans refer to loans in compliance with their original contractual obligations. References topast-due
loans refer to overdue loans defined as follows: commercial loans are consideredpast-due
once amortization payments are 15 days overdue; loans to micro-businesses are consideredpast-due
once amortization payments are 30 days overdue; and in the case of consumer, mortgage and leasing loans, the amortization portion of a coupon is consideredpast-due
once 30 days overdue and the total amount of the loan is consideredpast-due
once an amortization payment is 90 days overdue. For IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 disclosure purposes, the entire loan balance is considered past due when debtors have failed to make a payment when contractually due.Past-due
loans do not include refinanced and restructured loans. References to total gross loans include total loans outstanding, includingpast-due
loans, refinanced loans and restructured loans, and references to total net loans refer to gross loans plus accrued interest less allowances for loan losses and deferred interest.In response to the
COVID-19
crisis and with the support and permission of the SBS, in 2020, Interbank offered various payment rescheduling options to its clients to help them overcome the major economic shock related to the pandemic and the lockdown measures implemented by the Government. These rescheduling options refer to the following three schemes:- | Unilateral: loans proactively rescheduled by Interbank on a portion of the loan balance, in consideration of the client’s debt burden. |
- | Landing: loans rescheduled at client’s request on a portion of the loan balance. |
- | Structural: loans proactively rescheduled by Interbank or at client’s request over the entire loan balance. |
The rescheduling of loans can involve modifying payment schedules, granting grace periods, and lowering interest rates, among other measures.
In 2021, Interbank has continued to support customers that requested additional relief for their rescheduled loans on abasis.
case-by-case
Finally, through a series of Resolutions and Multiple Official Letters, within the framework of emergency Decree
No. 026-2021,
the MEF and the SBS established measures to reschedule the loans guaranteed under the “Reactiva Peru” program (as defined below). These facilities included grace periods of up to 12 months and also extended the repayment period.8
Certain Financial Definitions and Conventions
We present return on assets, or “ROA”, return on equity or “ROE”, net interest margin or “NIM”, risk adjusted net interest margin or “risk adjusted NIM”, cost of risk and efficiency ratio in this Annual Report on Form
20-F.
We define our ROA as net profit for the period divided by average total assets; our ROE as net profit for the period divided by average shareholders’ equity; NIM as (x) net interest and similar income divided (y) average interest earning assets; risk adjusted NIM as net interest margin after impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries; Cost of risk is defined as impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries divided by average gross loans. Efficiency ratio as the division of (x) salaries and employee benefits plus administrative expenses plus depreciation and amortization by (y) net interest and similar income plus other income, plus net premiums earned.We present average balances and nominal average interest rates in this Annual Report on Form
20-F.
Except as otherwise indicated, average balances are based on quarterly balances. Nominal average interest rates have been calculated by dividing interest earned on assets or paid on liabilities by the corresponding average balances on such assets or liabilities.Non-GAAP
Financial MeasuresIn this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
we present adjusted net profit, adjusted ROE and adjusted ROA, which arenon-GAAP
financial measures. Anon-IFRS
financial measure does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Anon-GAAP
financial measure is generally defined as a numerical measure of an issuer’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that: (i) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the issuer; or (ii) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.For the year ended December 31, 2019, we define IFS’s adjusted net profit as net profit excluding the financial expense of S/29.0 million after taxes from the execution of a liability management transaction in the banking segment. Likewise, we define Interbank’s adjusted net profit as net profit excluding (i) financial expense of S/29.0 million after taxes from the execution of a liability management transaction and (ii) the gain of S/32.4 million after taxes on the sale of Interfondos to Inteligo in the banking segment, which is eliminated upon consolidation. Finally, for our wealth management segment we defined adjusted net profit as net profit excluding financial expense of S/3.8 million related to the amortization of assets acquired as part of the Interfondos discussed above, which is also eliminated upon consolidation.
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2019, we define: (i) adjusted ROE as adjusted net profit, divided by average shareholders’ equity, and (ii) adjusted ROA as adjusted net profit, divided by average total assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, we did not make adjustments to our net profit, ROE or ROA.
For a discussion and presentation of these
non-GAAP
measures, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—BusinessOverview—Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results.”There may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, we encourage readers to consider the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Annual Report on Form
20-F
in their entirety, and not to rely on any single financial measure.9

An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
holders of our common shares should carefully consider the following risk factors before purchasing our common shares. If any of the possible events described below occurs, our businesses, financial condition, results of operations or prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the market prices of our common shares could decline and holders of our common shares could lose all or part of their investment. The risks and uncertainties below are those known to us and that we currently believe may materially affect us and our common shares. We may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or which as of the date of this Annual Report on Form20-F
we might not consider significant, which may also adversely affect our businesses.Risks Relating to Our Businesses
We are a holding company and all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Our ability to pay corporate expenses and to pay dividends, if any, to holders of our common shares will depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other distributions to us.
As a holding company, all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our ability to pay corporate expenses and to pay dividends, if any, to holders of our common shares, will depend upon our receipt of dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries.
There are various regulatory restrictions in Peru and other jurisdictions that may limit our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us, such as their obligations to maintain minimum regulatory capital and minimum liquidity. See “—Global and local health concerns, including in relation to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic or other outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases, may adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations”.In addition, our Peruvian subsidiaries pay dividends to us on the basis of the SBS GAAP financial statements, which differ from IFRS, and from which gain/losses from real estate investment are excluded from net income for purposes of dividend payment calculations. For example, Interseguro had a net profit of S/272.7 million under IFRS and of S/303.6 million under SBS GAAP, which resulted in a dividend payment to us of S/201.9 million in 2021. Therefore, there is no assurance that the differences in accounting treatment will not render the opposite result, namely that lower or no dividends would be payable to us by any of our Peruvian subsidiaries under SBS GAAP than what it would appear to be able to pay under IFRS, or that dividends will continue to be payable under SBS GAAP in the future.
Furthermore, our subsidiaries may incur indebtedness or enter into other arrangements containing terms that may restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends, the making of other distributions, or the making of loans to us. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that the agreements governing the future indebtedness of our subsidiaries will permit them to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or the making of loans to fund dividend payments.
10
To the extent our subsidiaries do not have funds available or are otherwise restricted from paying dividends to us, our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders will be adversely affected.
As a holding company, our right to receive any distribution of assets of our subsidiaries will be effectively subordinated to the rights of our subsidiaries’ creditors, and holders of our common shares may have limited recourse against our subsidiaries’ assets in case of our liquidation.
As a holding company, our right to receive any distribution of assets of our subsidiaries upon any subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that any claims by us as a creditor of such subsidiary may be recognized as such. Accordingly, holders of our common shares will have rights that will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of our subsidiaries, and, in the event of any claim against us, our shareholders may have recourse only against our assets, and not those of our subsidiaries, for payments. The only significant assets that we currently hold are our equity interests in our subsidiaries.
Global and local health concerns, including in relation to the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic or other outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases, may adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations.Global and local health concerns, including the outbreak of pandemics or contagious diseases including the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic, may disrupt economic activity. TheCOVID-19
pandemic outbreak continues to significantly increase economic uncertainty and resulted in a global economic recession, which may adversely affect us. In particular, theCOVID-19
pandemic has and may continue to adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations. The business of our subsidiaries is dependent upon the willingness and ability of their customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread ofCOVID-19
has caused severe disruptions in the world economy, which have and continue to disrupt the business, activities, and operations of the customers of our subsidiaries, as well as their business and operations. The extent to whichCOVID-19
continues to affect our and our subsidiaries’ results will depend on future developments, particularly relating to the emergence of new virus mutations, vaccine efficacy, infection rates, and extended or additional governmentCOVID-19
response measures, among others.In order to contain the spread of
COVID-19
in Peru, in 2020 and during 2021, the Peruvian government announced and implemented several measures such as declaring a state of emergency and ordering a mandatory lockdown and the total closure of Peru’s borders, while guaranteeing access to essential goods and services, including banking and financial services, pharmacies, food stores and markets, among others. As a result of these measures, the business operations of our subsidiaries were disrupted as a significant portion of their offices and financial stores were closed temporarily. While restrictions have been gradually lifted in connection with the Peruvian government’s phased approach tore-opening
the economy, we can offer no assurance that they will not bere-imposed,
and changes in existing regulations or implementation of future regulations in response to the spread ofCOVID-19
may further restrict their existing operations, limit the expansion of their business and require extensive system and operating changes that may be difficult or costly for them to implement. For example, in August 2021, because of the emergence of new variants of theCOVID-19
virus and increases in the number of infections at national level, the Peruvian government again implemented mandatory targeted lockdowns on various occasions and extended the declaration of the state of emergency as part of new measures aimed at containing the spread ofCOVID-19
throughout the country. See “Regulation andSupervision—COVID-19
Response.” Furthermore, continued spread ofCOVID-19
and additional government restrictions in response to such outbreaks could also negatively impact the business and operations of third-party service providers who perform critical services for their business.Moreover, the
COVID-19
pandemic has caused significant disruption and volatility in the financial markets globally, causing equity levels to fluctuate sharply, which may continue to worsen in the future. The continued global spread ofCOVID-19
and the different variants has and may continue to result in a significant decrease in business activities in case of new lockdowns or mobility restrictions. TheCOVID-19
pandemic has also resulted in increased volatility in both the local and the international financial markets and economic indicators, such as exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads and commodity prices.COVID-19
has generated a simultaneous shock on supply and demand – a supply shock resulting from the abrupt paralysis of production in multiple sectors and a demand shock as a result of reduced consumption – which amplifies the negative effects on the economy. Further shocks or unexpected movements in these market factors could result in financial losses. Moreover, the evolution of theCOVID-19
pandemic and its potential impact on the global economy may affect our ability to meet our financial targets.11
As a result of the economic impact of the pandemic, in addition to public health measures, the Peruvian government adopted measures to generate monetary and fiscal stimulus and alleviate the financial stress on households and companies, including the allowance for partial withdrawals from compensation for service time accounts (“CTS”, by its Spanish acronym), loan rescheduling measures and an initial S/30 billion credit guarantee program (“Reactiva Peru”). In this regard, as of December 31, 2021, outstanding loans disbursed by Interbank under the Reactiva Peru program amounted to S/4.9 billion, a reduction of 26% compared to the previous year. As of the same date, 40% of the total Reactiva Peru loan portfolio disbursed by Interbank had been rescheduled. The cumulative impact of such government relief measures in response to
COVID-19
may impact our interest income and our funding base in addition to various line items in our financial statements such as those relating to loan and deposits growth, net interest income, impairment loss on financial assets, net income from commissions and fees, gross profit from sales of goods and services, net trading income, among others. As a result, our overall business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely impacted.If such measures fail to achieve their intended results, our customers may be unable to meet existing payment or other obligations to us, as well as result in the filing and granting of insurance claims under insurance policies approved by Interseguro, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict whether and to what extent new or changes to laws and regulations that affect our subsidiaries’ business will be adopted in response to the
COVID-19
outbreak or other pandemics and what effect such laws and regulations would have on our revenue sources and hence on our financial condition and results of operations.To the extent the
COVID-19
pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” section, such as those relating to interest rate changes, economic, social and political developments in Peru, the market volatility generated by distortions in the international financial markets, cybersecurity, etc.Our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, and changes in existing regulations or the implementation of future regulations may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank and Interseguro are subject to extensive regulation and supervision by the SBS. The SBS also oversees all of Interbank’s and Interseguro’s subsidiaries and their operations. Interbank is also subject to regulation and oversight by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which, together with the SBS, have general administrative responsibilities over banks and other financial institutions, including the authority to set loan loss provisions, limits on interest rates and fees, regulatory capital requirements and other minimum capital adequacy and reserve requirements. In addition, banks are required to provide the SBS, on a periodic basis, with all information necessary to allow for its evaluation of the bank’s financial performance. Similarly, insurance companies are required to periodically provide the SBS, with all information necessary for the SBS to evaluate the company’s management, measure systems, solvency, profitability and liquidity.
Similarly, Inteligo’s subsidiaries are regulated by governmental entities and other financial services regulators in The Bahamas, Panama and Peru. Inteligo Bank is subject to the regulation and supervision of the Central Bank of The Bahamas. Additionally, Inteligo Bank’s asset management activities and securities custody and trading activities are subject to supervision by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. Inteligo Bank holds licenses from the Securities Commission of The Bahamas for dealing in securities as agent or principal, arranging deals, managing securities and advising on securities. Inteligo Bank is licensed to undertake all securities-related activities ancillary to its banking business. Inteligo Bank and its branch are subject to regulation by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama () and, since June 18, 2021, to regulation by the Securities Commission of Panama () due to its investment advisory license, while Inteligo SAB and Interfondos are subject to the regulation and supervision of the SMV in Peru. Also, Interbank and Interseguro are subject to the regulations of the SMV. In addition, IFS, Interbank, Interseguro, Inteligo Bank and Inteligo SAB are subject to other regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), which could increase compliance costs and, in case of
Superintendencia de Bancos de Panamá
Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores de Panama
non-compliance
could result in liability, additional costs or sanctions imposed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.12
Changes in the regulation and supervision of Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo or the implementation of future regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations by restricting our existing operations, limiting the expansion of our business and requiring extensive system and operating changes that may be difficult or costly to implement. For example, the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru regulate, and have in the past changed, capital structure and deposit reserve requirements, interest paid on deposit reserves, the amount of deposit reserves for which no interest is payable, rules regarding provisions for loan losses and legal lending limits applicable to Peruvian commercial banks. Furthermore, Interbank could be required to increase its level of provisions in response to
pro-cyclical
provisioning requirements that could be activated by regulators under certain favorable macroeconomic conditions. Additional changes in the regulation and supervision of our subsidiaries have been imposed as a result of theCOVID-19
pandemic. For example, in the past, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures, such as reducing the reference interest rate by 200 basis points from 2.25% to 0.25% and approving a new liquidity instrument to provide funds to financial entities, consisting of repurchase operations using Peruvian government guaranteed loans as collateral, which could affect our results of operations. Moreover, in March 2021, the Peruvian Congress approved a bill under which (i) the Central Reserve Bank of Peru will semi-annually establish caps on compensatory and moratorium interest rates that banks can charge to consumers and small businesses, and (ii) in cases of default, the debtor shall only pay interest which may not be capitalized and may not be charged with commissions or additional expenses. Since its approval, such new regulation limiting the interest that can be charged to clients of banking entities, such as Interbank, has negatively impacted Interbank’s financial results. In addition, Interbank could be subject to limits on fees or commissions charged to clients. If legislation or governmental or regulatory action is enacted limiting the amount of ATM fees or surcharges that Interbank may receive or on its ability to charge overdraft or other fees, it could adversely impact our financial results.Since 1998, Interseguro has been subjected to strict local regulations that required significant changes in reserve requirements. For example, in March 2018, changes by the SBS to mortality tables used for calculating reserves for new annuities resulted in a higher reserve requirement, which in turn could adversely affect Interseguro’s results of operations, or could result in lowered implied interest rates on Interseguro’s annuities. For further information, see Note 3.4(d) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements. New legislation or regulations applicable to the insurance industry may adversely affect Interseguro’s ability to underwrite and price risks accurately as well as affect its revenues and net income. For example, whereas retirees formerly had to choose between remaining with their pension fund or choosing an annuity, since 2016 a law has allowed retirees to withdraw 95.5% of their capital accumulated in cash upon retirement, which has resulted in a significant reduction of annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In addition, the SBS may change the types of and limits on eligible investments, which could force Interseguro to liquidate current investments on less favorable terms than if they were held to maturity and restrict Interseguro from making investments that its management deems to be beneficial. Moreover, in the past and as a response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, the Peruvian government permitted companies to suspend employee contracts without pay in certain cases until the end of theCOVID-19
pandemic, which caused these companies to stop making the corresponding monthly contribution to the pension funds of their worker, affecting the private pension system. In addition, the Peruvian government eased pension fund regulations, including measures permitting extraordinary withdrawals of funds from the private pension system, which in turn reduced pension funds collected by Interseguro.The Bahamas has enacted the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018 which requires substantial economic presence in The Bahamas for certain Bahamian entities that conduct relevant activities. A relevant activity includes the business of banking as conducted by Inteligo Bank. Inteligo Bank has made the appropriate registration in order to seek exemption from this legislation as it considers itself to be tax resident in another jurisdiction, Panama, despite being a licensed bank in The Bahamas. As a tax resident in Panama, Inteligo Bank is exempt from the requirements of the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018 if it fulfills certain disclosure and governance requirements of the applicable legislation. If Inteligo Bank is not considered to be tax resident in Panama or does not fulfill the requirements of the applicable legislation, it would have to enhance its economic and business presence in The Bahamas in order to comply with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018.
We cannot predict whether and to what extent new laws and regulations, or changes to existing laws and regulations, affecting our subsidiaries’ business will be adopted in the future, the timing of any such adoption and what effect such events would have on our financial condition and results of operations.
13
The operations of our subsidiaries require the maintenance of banking, insurance and other licenses and any
non-compliance
with applicable license and operating obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.All banks and insurance companies established in Peru require certain authorizations issued by the SBS in order to operate in Peru. In addition, all brokerage firms operating in Peru require certain authorizations issued by the SMV in order to operate in Peru. In The Bahamas and Panama, all banks require a license to operate. Governmental authorities, such as the SBS or the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the Central Bank of The Bahamas, or the Superintendency of Banks of Panama, have general administrative responsibilities over banks and other financial institutions, including authority to set loan loss provisions, limits on fees, regulatory capital requirements and other minimum capital adequacy and reserve requirements. In addition, banks are generally required to provide the relevant banking supervisory agency, on a periodic basis, with all information that is necessary to allow for its evaluation of a bank’s financial performance. Insurance companies are regulated and supervised by the SBS which has the ability, among other things, to set reserve requirements for insurance companies. Similarly, the SMV and the Securities Commission of The Bahamas have general administrative responsibilities over brokerage firms, including the authority to set minimum capital requirements.
Our subsidiaries currently have the required licenses in order to conduct their operations in their corresponding jurisdictions for all of their operations. Although we believe our subsidiaries are currently in compliance with their respective existing material license and reporting obligations, there is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to maintain the necessary licenses in the future. We can offer no assurance that future changes to existing laws and regulations, or stricter interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, will not impair our ability to comply with such laws and regulations and thus with the terms of our licenses.
The loss of a license, a breach of the terms of a license by any of our subsidiaries or the failure to obtain any further required licenses in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our subsidiaries loses its licenses or is required to seek additional licenses, then such subsidiary will be unable to perform its operations as it is currently authorized.
Under certain circumstances, the SBS, the SMV, the Superintendency of Banks of Panama or the Central Bank of The Bahamas, as applicable, may intervene in our subsidiaries’ operations in order to prevent, control and reduce the effects of a failure of our operations.
Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and the regulations thereunder, the SBS may intervene in Interbank’s and Interseguro’s operations upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
• | Interbank or Interseguro suspends payment of its obligations or is unable to pay its obligations as they come due; |
• | Interbank or Interseguro breaches any of their respective commitments to the SBS under a surveillance regime imposed by the SBS; |
• | Interbank’s regulatory capital is less than 50% of the minimum regulatory capital required under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law; |
• | Interbank or Interseguro experiences a deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital during the preceding 12-month period; or |
• | Interseguro experiences a deficit or reduction of the regulatory capital of more than 50% of its solvency equity. |
In the event of an intervention, the SBS has the power to institute measures, such as limiting the decisions that could be taken at a shareholders’ meeting, suspending our normal activities and segregating certain of Interbank’s or Interseguro’s assets and liabilities for transfer to third parties, among others. Furthermore, the SBS has the power under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law to declare the). For further detail, see “—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems — Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation”.
wind-up
or liquidation of any bank or insurance company if an intervention extends for longer than 45 days, which period may be extended for another 45 days at the sole discretion of the SBS, and/or upon the occurrence of awind-up
or liquidation pursuant to the Peruvian General Corporations Law (Ley General de Sociedades
14
Under Peruvian capital markets law and the regulations thereunder, the SMV may revoke the license of Inteligo SAB and/or Interfondos, among others, upon the occurrence of (i) significant irregularities that put the companies at risk to carry out their operations as permitted by law or (ii) significant violations of the law, statutes and regulations promulgated by the SMV.
Under Bahamian banking regulations, the Central Bank of The Bahamas may intervene in Inteligo Bank’s operations upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
• | Inteligo Bank carries on its business in a manner detrimental to the public interest or the interests of its depositors or other creditors; or |
• | Inteligo Bank contravenes the provisions of Bahamian banking law or any other law, order or regulation made thereunder, or any term or condition subject to which its license was issued, either in The Bahamas or elsewhere. |
In addition, under Bahamian securities laws and regulations, the Securities Commission of the Bahamas may revoke Inteligo Bank’s registration and license to deal in securities, arrange deals, manage securities and/or advise on securities for noncompliance with laws and regulations.
Under Law Decree 9 of 1998, as amended, the Superintendency of Banks of Panama may seize administrative and operating control of the branch of Inteligo Bank in Panama, based on any of the following grounds:
• | upon a reasoned request of Inteligo Bank itself; |
• | if Inteligo Bank cannot continue operations without endangering the interests of the depositors; |
• | as a consequence of the evaluation of the report submitted by an appointed advisor; |
• | non-compliance with the corrective measures ordered by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama; |
• | if Inteligo Bank carries out its operations in an illegal, negligent or fraudulent manner; |
• | if Inteligo Bank has suspended payment on its obligations; or |
• | if the Superintendency of Banks of Panama confirms that the capital adequacy, solvency or liquidity of Inteligo Bank has deteriorated so as to require action by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama. |
The adoption of new international banking and insurance guidelines may cause our subsidiaries to require additional capital and could cause their cost of funds to increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2009, the Basel Committee announced its intention to issue a new framework related to the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking industry. This was followed by an agreement reached in June 2011 regarding the overall design of the capital and liquidity reform package (now referred to as “Basel III”). This new capital framework revises and strengthens the three pillars established by Basel II.
In July 2011, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 8425-2011 (as amended from time to time), establishing the final methodologies in the calculation and the implementation schedule of the additional capital requirements to be implemented in Peru, which, although not completely consistent with Basel III, includes requirements to cover concentration, interest rate and systemic risk, as well as certain
pro-cyclical
capital requirements. These additional requirements were fully implemented in July 2016. However, the SBS has not yet fully adopted Basel III as recommended by the Basel Committee.In February 2016, the SBS issued SBS Resolution) and align Peruvian regulations towards Basel III. This resolution changed the conditions that subordinated debt must meet in order to be considered in the calculation of additional capital and the calculation methodology applicable to risk-weighted assets. This resolution is applicable to subordinated debt incurred or created from the date of its approval. However, as established in this regulation, subordinated
No. 975-2016
(as amended from time to time), which aims to improve the quality of the total regulatory capital (patrimonio efectivo
15
debt incurred or created prior to its approval (and which does not meet the requirements of this new regulation) will still be considered in the calculation of regulatory capital, subject to certain rules specified therein. For further details, see “—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems”. Interbank expects to continue to be in compliance with these additional capital requirements; however, Interbank’s assumptions with respect to compliance may turn out to be incorrect, and, consequently, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to Interseguro, Solvency II, a new regulatory framework for the European insurance industry implemented in early 2016, is under consideration by international regulatory bodies, which could result in the SBS raising solvency ratio requirements for insurance companies in Peru in the future.
With respect to Inteligo The Central Bank of The Bahamas has adopted a Basel Implementation Program and has effectively implemented Pillar I and Pillar II of the Basel II framework. The Pillar I framework focuses on the capital adequacy ratio requirements and Pillar II focuses on the internal capital adequacy assessment processes (“ICAAP”) (the guidelines in relation to the ICAAP were released in August 2016). In 2016, the Central Bank of The Bahamas rolled out the capital component of the Basel III framework. In November 2020, the Central Bank of The Bahamas released a draft of The Bahamas capital regulations and reforms to the guidelines for the management of capital and the calculation of capital adequacy, which ended its consultation period in January 2021 and was shared with the Bahamian government during the third quarter of 2021 for final endorsement and release. The Bahamas capital regulations include changes to the methodology for the calculation of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital that could adversely impact Inteligo Bank’s capital adequacy ratio. Currently, a date has not been determined for the implementation of these regulations. If implemented in its current form, the new framework could require Inteligo Bank to make revisions to its capital structure and investments which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of Inteligo Bank.
Furthermore, in 2018, the Central Bank of The Bahamas published two discussion papers focused on Minimum Disclosures (Pillar III of the Basel II framework), the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio (main components of Basel III). In 2021, the Central Bank of The Bahamas informed through its quarterly letter that its liquidity framework will be implemented after the completion of the capital framework. The latest update on the Basel II and III implementation was given in The Central Bank of The Bahamas’ 2021 quarterly report of the Bank Supervision Department, which stated that the implementation date of the reform would likely be extended as the draft Bahamas capital regulations are being reviewed and pending endorsement by the Bahamian government.
We cannot assess the compliance with, or the completion, or the implementation of, the above-mentioned requirements and the impact of any such requirements in the future on our financial condition or results of operations.
Our controlling shareholder, Intercorp Peru, is subject to capital requirements imposed by the SBS, and Intercorp Peru’s failure to comply with these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The SBS has established minimum capital requirements for financial services holding companies on a fully consolidated basis, which the SBS evaluates on an annual basis. As a result of its direct and indirect equity interest in Interbank and Interseguro, our controlling shareholder, Intercorp Peru, is subject to these minimum capital requirements. Intercorp Peru owns other businesses in addition to ours, and financial information relating to both our business and those other businesses is used to determine compliance with the minimum capital requirements.
According to Peruvian regulations, the subsidiaries directly and indirectly owned by Intercorp Peru qualify as a mixed conglomerate in which three different groups are identified: (i) consolidable group of the financial system; (ii) consolidable group of the insurance system; and (iii) financial group. Pursuant to Peruvian regulations, Intercorp Peru must maintain a higher regulatory capital requirement than the regulatory capital requirements for its groups.
If Intercorp Peru fails to comply with these requirements, the SBS may request Intercorp Peru to take certain corrective actions to ensure compliance. If Intercorp Peru fails to take such actions, the SBS could suspend or revoke Interbank’s and Interseguro’s licenses to operate in Peru, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
16
Our subsidiaries face intense competition from other banking, insurance and financial institutions, and from other players including providers of emerging financial technologies and failure to compete successfully could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The banking market in Peru is highly competitive. Interbank has experienced strong competition from local and foreign banks, including new entrants attracted by Peru’s low banking penetration, as well as from department stores that offer credit cards, from emerging financial technology companies that offer digital banking and other services both on a regulated and unregulated basis, and from the local and international capital markets that lend to commercial customers. Competition may reduce the average interest rates that Interbank can charge its customers, increase the average rates Interbank must pay on its deposits, and may negatively affect its loan growth and place pressure on margins. Some of Interbank’s competitors may have access to greater resources and be more successful in the development of products and services that compete directly with Interbank’s products and services. If Interbank’s competitors are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less expensive than the products and services offered by it, Interbank may be unable to compete successfully. Even if Interbank’s products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other competitors, such other competitors may be more successful in marketing their products and services because of their greater financial resources or marketing strategies, among other factors. Interbank may not be able to grow or maintain its market share if it is not able to match its competitors’ pricing or keep pace with their development of new products, services and technological innovation and developments.
The Peruvian insurance market, particularly the annuity and life insurance sectors, is also highly competitive. Interseguro’s principal competitors are large insurance companies that may have greater resources and offer a wider range of products. These insurance companies may have better access to independent brokers who sell insurance to customers. In addition, Interseguro may also face competition from private pension funds (AFPs), which could in the future be allowed to offer annuities. Moreover, under the private pension system, upon retirement, retirees have the option of choosing to remain with their pension fund, choose an annuity or, since 2016, withdraw 95.5% of their capital accumulated in cash, which potentially reduces demand for Interseguro’s annuities. Any adverse impact on Interseguro resulting from increased competition, as well as a reform of the private pension system, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Similarly, if Inteligo Bank’s competitors are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less expensive than the products and services offered by Inteligo Bank, it may be unable to compete successfully. Even if Inteligo Bank’s products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other competitors, such other competitors may be more successful in marketing their products and services because of their greater financial resources or marketing strategies, and other factors. Competitors may also dedicate greater resources to, and be more successful in, the development of products and services that may compete directly with Inteligo Bank’s products and services. Inteligo Bank competes in a global market for wealth management services, including wealth management divisions of global banks. Such competition would adversely affect the acceptance of Inteligo Bank’s products and/or lead to adverse changes in the investing habits of Inteligo Bank’s customer base. Inteligo Bank may not be able to grow or maintain its market share if it is not able to keep pace with its competitors’ development of new products and services. Any adverse impact on Inteligo Bank resulting from increased competition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our failure to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging technologies or changes in customer behavior could have a material adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
Our failure to effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging technologies or changes in customer behavior, including among younger customers, could delay or prevent our access to new digital-based markets. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of new technologies, including payment systems, could require substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our existing products and services as we continue to grow our digital capabilities. Our customers may choose to conduct business or offer products on alternative or emerging platforms. Such new technologies could negatively impact our investments in bank premises, equipment and personnel for our branch network, or if we do not properly anticipate trends, render our existing investments in our digital platform moot. If we fail to adapt quickly, or at all, to changes in technologies or changes in customer behavior, it may have an adverse impact on Interbank resulting from increased competition, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The banking and insurance markets are exposed to macroeconomic shocks that may negatively impact household income and, consequently, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s strategy is to focus on the retail and commercial banking sectors and to grow and gain market share profitably. As a result, Interbank’s loan portfolio will become increasingly vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks that could negatively impact the household income of Interbank’s customers and result in increased loan losses. In addition, our commercial clients could be negatively affected by global and local macroeconomic trends. As a result, in past years, our provisions for loan losses, in particular related to credit cards granted to certain vulnerable sectors of the Peruvian economy, have significantly increased during slowdowns of the Peruvian economy. Additionally, in part due to thedenominated loans. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Depreciation and Appreciation of the”.

In the event of a macroeconomic shock, the value of Interseguro’s investments may also suffer losses, including in its investment property. In addition, the amount of savings available to potential annuity holders may be negatively impacted by unemployment or a decline in wages. A macroeconomic shock may also negatively impact wealth generation in Peru and, in turn, impact the demand for our wealth management services.
We could sustain losses if Interbank’s asset quality declines.
Our earnings are significantly affected by Interbank’s ability to properly originate, underwrite and service loans. We could sustain losses if Interbank incorrectly assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers or fails to detect or respond to deterioration in asset quality in a timely manner. Problems with asset quality could cause our net interest and similar income to decrease and our provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. More recently, the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic may affect Interbank’s ability to accurately assess the creditworthiness of its borrowers, which would lead to a deterioration of risk profile and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Reduced diversification in Interbank’s loan portfolio could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
While loan portfolio risk associated with lending to certain economic sectors or clients in certain market segments can be mitigated through adequate diversification policies, Interbank’s pursuit of opportunities in which it can charge higher interest rates may reduce diversification of the loan portfolio and expose Interbank to greater credit risk. Reduced diversification could expose Interbank to greater risks in the event of a decline in asset quality. In addition, given the relatively small size of the Peruvian economy, Interbank’s lending diversification is by necessity lower than that of banks with operations in larger economies. Moreover, certain concentrations of borrowers’ commercial sectors may be unavoidable in Peru—principally the natural resources, fishing, agriculture and mining sectors—and deteriorations in such sectors could have a material adverse effect on Interbank’s deposits, loan performance and other businesses.
Furthermore, as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, retail banking loans accounted for approximately 46.4% and 49.1% of Interbank’s loan portfolio, respectively. Higher than average exposure to retail banking could be accompanied by greater credit risk due to higher risk profiles compared, particularly, to loans to large corporate customers. Given the significant recent growth of Interbank’s loan portfolio, historical loss experience may not be indicative of future doubtful loan experience. As the
COVID-19
pandemic evolves, it may continue to impact Interbank’s retail and commercial clients and our risk profile may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.The allowances of Interbank for impairment losses may not be adequate to cover the future losses to its loan portfolio or other assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank records allowances for impairment losses on loans and other assets. The amount of allowances recorded is based on Interbank’s current assessment of and expectations concerning various factors affecting the quality of its loan portfolio. These factors include, among other things, Interbank’s borrowers’ financial condition, repayment abilities and repayment intentions, the realizable value of any collateral, the prospects for support from any guarantor, Peru’s economy, government macroeconomic policies, interest rates and the legal and regulatory environment. Many of these factors are beyond Interbank’s control. In addition, as these factors evolve, the models Interbank uses to determine the appropriate level of allowance for impairment losses on loans and other assets may require recalibration, which can lead to increased allowances.
18
Allowances for impairment losses on loans have significantly increased as a result of the risks and uncertainties associated with the impact of the pandemic, which has resulted in increased monitoring of those loans that have been rescheduled. In 2020, Interbank applied several post-model adjustments for these loan exposures, such as proactive migration of certain clients from Stage 1 to Stage 2, and from Stage 2 to Stage 3, with the aim of more accurately predicting expected credit losses. In 2021, given continued economic, political and social uncertainty in Peru, Interbank decided to apply a new expert judgment to update its expected credit losses. If Interbank’s assessment of and expectations concerning the above-mentioned factors differ from actual developments, or if the quality of its loan portfolio deteriorates or the future actual losses exceed its estimates, Interbank’s allowance for impairment losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses and it may need to make additional allowances for impairment losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Selected Statistical Information—Classification of Our Loan Portfolio” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Impairment Loss on Loans, Net of Recoveries.”

Our financial results may be negatively affected by changes to IFRS accounting standards.
We report our results and financial position in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Changes to IFRS thereof may cause our future reported results and financial position to differ from current expectations, or historical results to differ from those previously reported due to the adoption of new accounting standards on a retrospective basis. We monitor potential accounting changes and, when possible, we determine their potential impact and disclose significant future changes in our financial statements that we expect because of those changes. Currently, there are standards issued but not yet effective such as IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, which will impact our consolidated financial statements. IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, which will go into effect on January 1, 2023, provides a comprehensive accounting model for all types of insurance contracts that provides a more consistent framework for insurers, covering all relevant aspects as recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures, whereas the requirements in IFRS 4 are largely based on grandfathering local accounting policies. We are currently monitoring and evaluating but have not yet determined the potential impact that IFRS 17 may on financial statements or results of operations. For further information on IFRS 17, see Note 3.5 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 16 “Leases” which became effective on January 1, 2019, established that at the commencement date of a lease, a lessee recognizes a liability to reflect lease payments and the asset that represents the of the underlying leased asset during the lease term is recorded. Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the asset. As permitted by the transitional provisions of IFRS 16, we elected to apply the modified retrospective approach and we have not restated comparative figures. Under this method, we recognized lease liabilities for an amount equivalent to the present value of future payments agreed as of January 1, 2019. The effect of the adoption of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 amounted to S/341.7 million, increasing the caption “Property, furniture and equipment assets)” and simultaneously, for the same amount, the caption “Accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities (Lease liabilities)”. The adoption of IFRS 16 had no impact on the consolidated statements of changes in equity as of January 1, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded S/14.0 million as interest expense on the lease liabilities and S/58.7 million as depreciation expense on a asset, which were recorded in captions “interest and similar expense” and “depreciation and amortization”. Likewise, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded S/15.3 million as interest expense on the lease liabilities and S/65.8 million as depreciation expense on a asset. See Notes 19 and 8, respectively, of the audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Our financial results may be negatively affected by investment losses.
The investment activities of our subsidiaries are subject to factors beyond their control, and losses from their exposures could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As part of its treasury operations, Interbank trades various financial instruments and other assets, including debt, equity, fixed income, currency and related derivatives, as both agent and principal, and derives a proportion of its income from trading profits. Interbank has established position limits for and foreign currency-denominated securities in accordance with its overall risk management policy and with the SBS requirements. However, Interbank is exposed to numerous factors that are beyond its control, including overall market trading activity, interest rate
non-financial
sol
19
levels, the credit risk of its counterparties and general market volatility. For example, the
COVID-19
pandemic increased the volatility of our investment portfolio, especially during March 2020. In addition, a significant part of Interbank’s trading is related to customer transactions, and Interbank could be exposed to a number of risks related to the movement of market prices in the underlying instruments, including the risk of unfavorable market price movements relative to its long or short positions, a decline in the market liquidity of the related instruments, volatility in market prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates relating to these positions, and the risk that the instruments with which Interbank chooses to hedge certain positions do not track the fair value of those positions. If Interbank incurs any further losses from these exposures, it could reduce Interbank’s trading profits or cause it to suffer losses from trading activities, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Inteligo Bank is exposed to similar investment and trading risks as Interbank.
Interseguro is exposed to the risk of a decrease in the value of its investments due to volatility in market conditions, real estate prices, equity values and interest rates, among other factors, many of which are beyond Interseguro’s control. In addition, as a holder of a large portfolio of debt investments and fixed income securities, Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the issuers of its fixed income securities may default.
Furthermore, in all of our segments, our investments may be subject to impairment, due towhich could cause volatility in our financial condition and results of operations.
mark-to-market
Interest rate changes, including changes resulting from the discontinuation of LIBOR and related transition to alternative rates, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s and Inteligo’s financial condition and results of operations depend to a large extent on their financial margin, which in turn depends on their ability to charge interest on interest-earning assets, such as loans to customers, that is higher than the interest they pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits. Changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also adversely affect our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits. We cannot control or predict with certainty changes in interest rates since market interest rates are sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including the interest rate policies of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru and the U.S. Federal Reserve. It is unclear whether interest rates on U.S. dollar ordenominated debt will rise in the future or whether increases in market interest rates in Peru could require Interbank or Inteligo to increase the interest rates they pay on deposits. If Interbank or Inteligo were unable to implement commensurate and timely increases in interest rates on loans they originate, their margins would decline. As a result of the
soles
COVID-19
pandemic, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures, such as reducing the reference interest rate by 200 basis points from 2.25% to 0.25%. In addition, recent concerns regarding low interest rates generally and potential negative interest rates may negatively affect Interbank’s and Inteligo’s net interest income, which may have an adverse impact on their profitability. A continued or protracted period of low interest rates, or a move to negative interest rates, could result in lower revenue, and maintain or increase pressure onnet-interest
income, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations.Interbank’s primary sources of funds are retail deposits with no specific or contractual maturity, and a substantial portion of the loans it originates have a longer term. The difference in maturities between deposits and loans could magnify the effect of any interest rate mismatch, as well as pose a liquidity risk if Interbank were not able to obtain funding as its liabilities mature.
Interseguro faces interest rate risk as a result of the potential variation in interest rates when it reinvests debt instruments to cover its obligations. Interseguro may reinvest when the term of its investments differs from that of its obligations. Interseguro tries to match the cash flows of its obligations with the maturities of its portfolio, but the shortage of instruments with the appropriate maturity profile may result in mismatches with its obligations and, as a result, expose it to interest rate risk.
Furthermore, on July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intended to phase out LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that all LIBOR settings would either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the one week and two month U.S. dollar settings; and (b) immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. The United States Federal Reserve also advised banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate.
20
The announcement of discontinuation of this rate led to uncertainty, since LIBOR references approximately US$350 trillion of global transactions in a broad range of financial products, hence the cessation of LIBOR poses a financial stability risk. Regulators and market participants in various jurisdictions have been working to identify alternative reference rates that are compliant with the standards of the International Organization of Securities Commissions. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the “ARRC”), a committee convened by the Federal Reserve that includes market participants, has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), a new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by Treasury securities, as the alternative benchmark rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR. In that sense, the ARRC has put in place a paced transition plan with the goal of ensuring a successful transition from U.S. dollar LIBOR to SOFR.
The implementation of alternative benchmark rates is still in progress, although most banks have moved from LIBOR to SOFR in the case agreements indexed to the U.S. dollar LIBOR. The replacement of LIBOR could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition if we are unable to agree on an alternative benchmark, like SOFR, with our customers and financial counterparties in advance. Publication of SOFR began on April 3, 2018 and it therefore has a limited history. In addition, the future performance of SOFR cannot be predicted based on the limited historical performance. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behavior of market variables and their relation to SOFR, such as correlations, may change in the future. While
some pre-publication historical
data have been released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, such analysis inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. The future performance of SOFR is impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR may be inferred from any of the historical simulations or historical performance. Furthermore, we may face a risk of litigation, disputes or other actions from clients, counterparties, customers, investors or others regarding the interpretation or enforcement of related provisions or if we fail to appropriately communicate the effect that the transition to alternative benchmark rates will have on existing and future products. Although we expect to adapt our valuation processes, IT infrastructure and pricing systems as new information arises, we can neither assure you nor calculate the impact this could have on our business and results of operations, if any.In that sense, we have included fallback language in most of our contracts in which we assume a liability and for new client loans originated by Interbank. We continue to monitor our exposure, along with any new risks that may emerge as new developments and information is released to the market. Nevertheless, in July 2021, the ARRC announced that it was formally recommending the CME’s Group forward-looking SOFR term rates as the benchmark rate.
Interseguro is exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates on other comprehensive income.
Before 2018, Interseguro estimated its technical reserves within the income statement under IFRS by using a discount rate that reflected the interest rate performance of the debt instruments in its portfolio, adjusted for credit risk, and the company’s asset-liability mismatch. As a consequence, Interseguro’s results of operations under IFRS were affected by the volatility in the interest rate.
However, starting in the second quarter of 2018, Interseguro estimates its technical reserves under IFRS on the basis of an updated discount risk-free rate obtained by a matching adjustment methodology. See Note 3.4(d) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements. The volatility of this interest rate is reflected in Interseguro’s balance sheet, under other comprehensive income which could have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet. See Note 14(c) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Actual mortality and morbidity rates and other factors may differ from those assumed in the calculation of technical reserves and may have a material adverse effect on Interseguro’s financial condition and results of operations.
Actual mortality and morbidity rates may differ from those assumed in the initial calculation of annuity reserves at the time of the issuance of the policy and their periodic adjustments. If Interseguro’s assumptions differ materially from actual mortality and morbidity rates, Interseguro could be required to make payments under its annuities for a longer period of time than originally estimated, and existing reserves could fall short of actual payments. Significant shortfalls could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Before 2018, Interseguro used the mortality tables approved by the Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance () and the Chilean Superintendency of Pensions () which incorporated moremortality information than the ones prescribed by the SBS before the approval of Resolution
Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros
Superintendencia de Pensiones
up-to-date
No. 886-2018
by the SBS in March 2018.21
Starting in 2018, Interseguro adopted new mortality tables approved by the SBS, which showed recent changes in Peruvian life expectancy and longer estimated lives for the calculation of the annuities reserves. As a result, Interseguro had an adjustment of S/144.8 million in technical reserves during the second quarter of 2018. Future changes in mortality tables could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank may not be able to obtain the funding required to support growth and implement its strategy.
Interbank’s strategy to grow its loan portfolio will require it to continue to have an active funding strategy. Interbank’s access to funding will depend on many factors, including factors beyond our control, such as any credit crunch, public health crises and epidemics/pandemics (such as the
on-going
COVID-19
pandemic) or other conditions in global capital markets and investors’ perceptions of the risks of investing in Peru and emerging markets generally. The 2008 and 2009 global financial and economic crisis, the debt crisis in Europe and general market volatility, for example, had a negative impact on the liquidity of global financial markets. In the case of similar events, any equity or debt financing, if available at all, may be on terms that are not favorable to Interbank. If access to funding is limited, Interbank may not be able to implement its strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.A reduction in our subsidiaries’ credit ratings could increase their cost of borrowing funds and make their ability to raise new funds and renew maturing debt more difficult.
Our subsidiaries’ credit ratings are an important component of their respective liquidity profile. Among other factors, Interbank’s credit ratings are based on its financial strength, the credit quality and concentrations in its loan portfolio, the level and volatility of its earnings, its capital adequacy, the quality of management, the liquidity of its balance sheet, the availability of a significant base of core retail and commercial deposits and its ability to access a broad array of funding sources. In addition, our subsidiaries’ lenders may be sensitive to the risk of a ratings downgrade, which could increase the cost of refinancing their existing obligations, raising funds in the capital markets and borrowing funds from private lenders, and could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Although our subsidiaries’ credit ratings have remained relatively stable over time, including throughout the
COVID-19
pandemic, our creditors may be sensitive to changes in our credit ratings, and/or outlook. The risk of a future ratings downgrade could increase the cost of refinancing our existing obligations, raising funds in the capital markets and borrowing funds from private lenders, and could in turn have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Interseguro’s failure to underwrite and price insurance premiums accurately for the products it offers would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
Interseguro’s financial condition and results of operations depend on its ability to underwrite insurance policies and set premium rates accurately. Interseguro must generate sufficient premiums to offset claim losses and cover operating and underwriting expenses to make a profit. In order to price insurance policies accurately, Interseguro must collect and analyze a substantial volume of data, develop, test and apply appropriate rating formulae, closely monitor changes in trends in a timely fashion and project both severity and frequency of loss with reasonable accuracy. If Interseguro fails to assess accurately the risks that it assumes or does not reinsure an appropriate level of risk, it may fail to establish adequate premium rates, which could reduce income and have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
Interbank’s and Interseguro’s reliance on Peruvian sovereign and global bonds in their respective investment portfolios leaves us vulnerable to a default on such debt.
A substantial portion of our investment portfolio consists of Peruvian sovereign and global bonds and Central Reserve Bank of Peru certificates of deposit, which represented 52.4% of our investment portfolio (before accrued interest) as of December 31, 2021. A default on Peruvian sovereign debt could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
22
Interseguro may suffer losses in its investment portfolio because of risks associated with its real estate investments.
Interseguro’s investment portfolio includes real estate investments located solely in Peru. As of December 31, 2021, Interseguro’s investments in real estate projects totaled S/1,224.4 million, which represented 9.3% of Interseguro’s total investment portfolio. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and Interseguro’s ability to vary its portfolio of properties in response to changes in economic and other conditions is limited. If Interseguro wants or needs to sell a property, it may not be able to do so in the desired time period or on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, Interseguro is exposed to risk in respect of its real estate investments that are under development, including delays in receiving zoning permits, construction delays, changes in regulation or lack of demand.
Interseguro also faces credit risks with respect to its real estate investments. Interseguro generally invests in land in order to develop commercial real estate projects. For these projects, Interseguro enters into long-term leases withtenants (typically 25 to 30 years) and medium-term leases with office tenants (typically two to five years). In the case of long- and medium-term leases, Interseguro’s tenants may experience a downturn in their businesses, which could weaken their financial condition and result in the tenants’ inability to make lease payments to Interseguro in a timely manner or at all. In 2021, as the effects of the
“built-to-suit”
COVID-19
pandemic began to improve as government occupancy and curfew mandates were gradually lifted, enabling stores to operate almost atpre-pandemic
levels, we observed an improvement in tenants’ ability to make lease payments. For the year ended December 31, 2021, 6.5% of Interseguro’s tenants defaulted on payments and 2.3% deferred payments, as compared to 7.7% and 57.7%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020. Despite this improvement, we can offer no assurance that this positive trend will continue, that additional tenants will not default, or that tenants who have deferred payments will ultimately be able to make them. For additional information on the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic on our subsidiaries, see “—Global and local health concerns, including in relation to the ongoingCOVID-19
pandemic or other outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases, may adversely affect our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations.”Interseguro’s investment properties are carried at fair value, which could result in the value of such investment properties declining if market conditions deteriorate. As a result, we could suffer an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Tax exemptions applicable to a substantial portion of Interseguro’s investment earnings could be changed in the future.
Interseguro pays no income tax, primarily because its investment earnings in respect of its life insurance technical reserves are entirely exempt from income tax. Future changes in tax laws or regulations limiting or eliminating the current tax exemption could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries are dependent on key personnel.
Our development, operation and growth have depended significantly upon the efforts and experience of our and our subsidiaries’ board of directors, senior management and key personnel. Most of the members of our senior management have held management positions with other major financial institutions in the United States, Latin America and Europe. Although we currently expect that our and our subsidiaries’ board of directors and other senior managers will continue in their positions, the loss of their services, or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel to replace them, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Interruption, mismanagement or failure in our subsidiaries’ information technology systems may adversely affect their operations.
As financial and insurance institutions, our success depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our subsidiaries’ computer and communications hardware systems and our applications, including systems and applications that support the operation of Interbank’s financial stores, ATMs, Interbank Agente (correspondent agents), mobile applications and website, as well as the infrastructure components that support our operations (communication devices, networking, etc.). Our subsidiaries’ computer and communications systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, sabotage, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, physical or electronic
break-ins
and similar events or disruptions. Any of these events could cause system interruptions, delays and losses of critical data and could prevent our subsidiaries from operating at optimal levels or at all.23
Any failure, interruption or breach in security of our subsidiaries’ information systems could result in failures or interruptions in their risk management, general ledger, deposit servicing, loan organization and/or other important operations, as applicable. Although our subsidiaries have developed
back-up
systems and a disaster recovery center, and may continue some of their operations in case of emergency, if their information systems fail, even for a short period of time, then they may be unable to serve some or all of their customers’ needs on a timely basis. Likewise, a temporary shutdown of our subsidiaries’ information systems could result in additional costs for information retrieval and verification. In addition, failure to update and develop our subsidiaries’ existing information systems as effectively as their competitors may result in a loss of the competitive advantages that each subsidiary believes its information systems provide. Furthermore, our subsidiaries may not have adequate insurance coverage or insurance limits to be compensated for losses from a major interruption.If our subsidiaries experience a data security breach and confidential customer information is disclosed to or accessed by third parties, their customers could be adversely affected. The collection of data and processing of transactions require our subsidiaries to receive and store a large amount of personally identifiable data. This type of data is subject to legislation and regulation in various jurisdictions, including Peru. Data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting U.S. state and federal legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security. Our Peruvian subsidiaries are subject to requirements to protect the personally identifiable information that they process in connection with their services. Our Peruvian subsidiaries may become exposed to potential liabilities with respect to the data that they collect, manage and process, and may incur legal costs if their information security policies and procedures are not effective or if they are required to defend their methods of collection, processing and storage of personal data. Security breaches, lawsuits or adverse publicity relating to our subsidiaries’ methods of handling personal data could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations due to the costs and negative market reaction relating to such developments.
In addition, our current strategy involves significant investments to expand and develop our IT, applications and systems in order to unify and simplify them, and increase the volume of transactions and operations performed online by our personnel and clients. We have also contracted with a third-party provider to ensure the stability and security of our systems and IT infrastructure and to also bear the risk of the failure of that third party. However, there can be no assurance that such strategy or its implementation will be successful, or whether it will result in failures, shutdowns or damage to our business and operations.
Moreover, additional regulations or new requirements may emerge related to cybersecurity controls and data quality, as well as contractual commitments in accordance with standards established by the Information Security and Cybersecurity Management regulation (the “”), approved by SBS Resolution”), aimed to manage the enterprise and business unit levels, with business units identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing, and reporting these and other operational risks at a more detailed level. Failure to comply with these rules could result in a loss a material effect on results of operations and financial losses.
Reglamento para la Gestión de la Seguridad de la Información y la Ciberseguridad
No. 504-2021
(as amended). Any failure or perceived failure by financial and insurance institutions to comply with such obligations may result in governmental enforcement actions and regulatory penalties, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation. Moreover, in February 2021, the SBS approved amendments to the Plan Business Continuity regulation (the “Reglamento para la Gestión de la Continuidad del Negocio
The occurrence of any failures or interruptions in our subsidiaries’ IT systems, or the failure of our subsidiaries to adequately address them if they do occur, as well as data security breaches incurred by our subsidiaries, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition and results of operations, including as a result of facing significant fines, customer notice obligations or costly litigation, maintaining or upgrading their IT systems, or performing other IT services on a timely basis.
Cyber-security events could negatively affect our reputation or results of operations and may result in litigation.
Information security risks have generally increased in recent years as a result of the proliferation of new technologies and the increased sophistication and activities of cyber-attacks as well as increased connections of equipment and systems to the internet. Recently, data security breaches suffered by well-known companies and institutions have attracted a substantial amount of media attention, prompting U.S. state and federal legislative proposals addressing data privacy and security. We depend on a variety of internet-based data processing applications, communication, and information exchange platforms and networks as part of our operations and our digital strategy.
24
As a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, cyber-security risks have increased primarily due to the remote workforce and the increased use of digital channels by our customers. In this sense, we have implemented additional cyber-security measures to prevent, detect, and respond to these enhanced cyber-security risks. These measures focus primarily on strengthening the security of the devices used by our employees working remotely, improving the authentication methods used on remote connections, increasing the frequency of our cyber-security awareness programs and enhancing the capacity of our cyber-security threat intelligence procedures.Although we continuously assess and strive to improve the effectiveness and security of our systems, we cannot assure holders of our common shares that all of our systems are free from vulnerability, in line with the security standards of companies operating in more developed markets or that the measures taken will be successful in preventing cyber-attacks. In the event of a cyber-attack, we could have our business operations disrupted, experience losses and incur response costs, and could be subject to litigation and damage to our reputation. A cyber-attack could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For further information on our cybersecurity protections and details of our information technology units, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Information Technology Unit.” for each of our three business segments.
Our subsidiaries are susceptible to fraud, unauthorized transactions and operational errors.
Our subsidiaries are susceptible to, among other things, fraud or bad faith by employees or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees and other operational errors (including clerical or record keeping errors and errors resulting from faulty computer or telecommunications systems). Given a high volume of transactions that may occur at a financial institution, errors could be repeated or compounded before they are discovered and remedied. In addition, a number of transactions are not fully automated, which may further increase the risk that human error or employee tampering could result in losses that may be difficult to detect quickly or at all.
While our subsidiaries maintain a system of internal controls designed to monitor and control operational risk, losses from the failure of their system of internal controls to discover and rectify such risks could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, our financial condition and results of operations.
Our existing insurance coverage may be insufficient and future coverage may be difficult or expensive to obtain.
Although we believe that our insurance policies provide adequate coverage for the risks inherent in our businesses, these insurance policies typically exclude certain risks and are subject to certain thresholds and limits. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that our properties, equipment, inventories and other assets will not suffer damage due to unforeseen events or that the proceeds available from our insurance policies will be sufficient to protect us from all possible loss or damage resulting from such events. Our subsidiaries renew our insurance policies on an annual basis. The cost of coverage may increase to an extent that we may choose to reduce our policy limits or agree to certain exclusions from our coverage. Among other factors, adverse political developments, security concerns and natural disasters may materially adversely affect available insurance coverage and result in increased premiums for available coverage and additional exclusions from coverage. As a result, our insurance coverage may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our employees could join labor unions and we could be subject to organized labor actions, including work stoppages that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Even though the employees of our subsidiaries are not unionized and have not entered into any collective bargaining agreement, nothing prevents them from doing so in the future. Conflicts with our employees and organized labor actions such as work disruptions or stoppages or requirements to increase employee salaries and/or benefits as a result of future collective bargaining agreements, governmental regulations or policies or otherwise could cause us to suffer a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
25
Our trademarks and trade names may be misappropriated or challenged by others.
We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with our brands and businesses and the marketing and sale of their respective products and services. We believe our brand names and related intellectual property are important to our continued success. We attempt to protect our trademarks and trade names by exercising our rights under applicable trademark and copyright laws. Any infringement of our intellectual property rights would likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise, which could be expensive and time-consuming. If we were to fail to protect our intellectual property rights for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Any failure to comply with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and antitrust laws and regulations could damage our reputation or expose us to penalties.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, antitrust and other international laws and regulations and are required to comply with the applicable laws and regulations of Peru, Panama, Bahamas and certain other jurisdictions. In addition, we are subject to economic sanctions regulations that restrict our transactions with certain sanctioned countries, individuals and entities. The Peruvian regulatory regime related to anti-bribery and anti-corruption legislation could be less developed and stringent than similar regulations in other jurisdictions.
Subsidiaries are in compliance with the applicable anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws and regulations and have adopted policies and procedures, including a “know-your-client” client identification program, and enhanced their due diligence procedures, internal controls, quality assurance and anticorruption program. Our compliance program is based upon the applicable Peruvian, Panamanian and Bahamian laws and best international practices. In addition, we perform due diligence on financial institutions to ensure that they have the same stand on anti-money laundering policies and procedures. Although these measures mitigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks, these risks are not fully eliminated. Therefore, when subsidiaries identify suspicious activities, such activities are reported to the authorities as well as risks included in an internal “black list” to block future transactions and protect us against reputational risk. However, these measures, procedures and compliance may not be completely effective in preventing third parties from using any of our subsidiaries (and our correspondent banks) as a conduit for money laundering (including illegal cash operations) or terrorist financing without our (and our correspondent banks’ and reinsurance institutions’) knowledge. If any of our subsidiaries were to be associated with money laundering (including illegal cash operations) or terrorist financing, our reputation as a group could suffer and/or they could become subject to fines, sanctions or legal enforcement, including being added to any “blacklists” that would prohibit certain parties from engaging in transactions with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our subsidiaries are in compliance with applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, rules and regulations, including policies regarding government officials and other stakeholders. We have not been subject to fines or other penalties, and we have not suffered business or other reputational impact, as a result of alleged money laundering activities in the past. However, there can be no assurance that our internal policies and procedures will be sufficient to prevent or detect all inappropriate practices, fraud or violations of law by our affiliates, employees, directors, officers, partners, agents and service providers or that any such persons will not take actions in violation of our policies and procedures. We may in the future discover instances in which we have failed to comply with applicable laws and regulations or internal controls. If any of our employees, contractors, agents, officers or other persons with whom we conduct business engage in fraudulent, corrupt or other improper or unethical business practices or otherwise violate applicable laws, regulations or our own internal compliance systems, we could become subject to one or more enforcement actions by Peruvian or foreign authorities (including the U.S. Department of Justice) or otherwise be found to be in violation of such laws, which may result in penalties, fines and sanctions and in turn adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
We and our subsidiaries are subject to litigation and other legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings.
We and our subsidiaries are regularly party to litigation and other legal proceedings relating to claims resulting from operations in the normal course of business. Even though we and our subsidiaries do not have any material litigation, the interpretation and enforcement of certain provisions of existing or any additional agreements may result in disputes among us and customers or third-parties. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that the legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings in which we and our subsidiaries are involved will not materially and adversely affect our ability to conduct our respective business in the manner that we and they expect or otherwise adversely affect our respective results of operations and financial position should an unfavorable ruling occur.
26
Legal restrictions on our clients may reduce the demand for our services.
We may be materially affected not only by regulations applicable to us, but also by regulations and changes in enforcement practices applicable to our clients. Our business could be affected by, among other things, existing and proposed tax legislation, antitrust and competition policies, corporate governance initiatives, consumer protection laws, data use regulation and other governmental regulation and policies, and changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, that affect our clients’ businesses and the financial markets. For example, a focus on tax compliance and changes in enforcement practices could lead to asset outflows from our private banking businesses, including at our subsidiary Inteligo.
Risks Relating to Peru
Economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, inflation and unemployment, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses.
Substantially all of the operations and customers of our subsidiaries are located in Peru. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations will be dependent on the level of economic activity in Peru. Our financial condition and results of operations could be affected by changes in economic conditions (both international and domestic), policies of the Peruvian government (which has exercised and continues to exercise substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector) and by other economic and political developments in Peru, including devaluation, currency exchange controls, limits on interest rates, seizure of private property, financial regulation, inflation, economic downturns, corruption scandals, social unrest and terrorism, among others.
Peru’s GDP growth rates, low inflation, and external surplus, reflect, in part, the strength of Peru’s economic fundamentals. However, a deterioration of the global economy or a sharp decrease in commodity prices may adversely affect Peru’s economy. In addition, an economic contraction or weak economic growth in Peru’s trading partners may have an adverse effect on Peru’s economy. Despite Peru’s ongoing economic growth and stabilization, social and political tensions and high levels of poverty and unemployment continue. The combination of these factors may be exacerbated by the macroeconomic impact of the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic and the government’s response to prevent the spread and mitigate its effects, which may lead to economic, social and/or political crises which can spark a wave of protests and social unrest.Furthermore, in the past, Peru has experienced political instability that has included a succession of regimes with differing economic policies and programs, followed by periods of stability. While Peru has been a stable democracy having completed a peaceful transition from the administration of President Ollanta Humala to President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who took office in July 2016, starting in 2018, Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment, including that of former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 and former President Martín Vizcarra in 2020, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. Following President Vizcarra’s impeachment, Peru underwent nationwide protests, which pursuant to Peruvian constitutional succession rules, resulted in Francisco Sagasti being sworn in as acting President of the Republic on November 17, 2020, to complete the remainder of the presidential term until July 2021.
A general election was held in on April 11, 2021 to elect Peru’s next President and Congress and as no presidential candidate received a majority in the first round of voting, a), a), a center-right candidate. Following the
run-off
election took place on June 6, 2021 between the two candidates that received the most votes: José Pedro Castillo Terrones (Partido Político Nacional Perú Libre
far-left
candidate, and Keiko Sofia Fujimori Higuchi (Fuerza Popular
run-off
elections, Mr. Castillo received the most votes in the second round and was inaugurated President on July 28, 2021.With respect to the congressional elections, the results were such that the Peruvian Congress is fragmented, composed by members of nine (9) political parties with no single party holding control. A fragmented Congress with no clear majority or controlling blocks, may make it difficult for President Castillo to govern and garner support to pass legislation. The economic and social impact resulting from the political uncertainty generated by these occurrences at the highest levels of government raises concerns on the ability of the government to implement long-term and consistent economic and social policies required to combat social and economic issues in the future, including those designed to promote economic growth and to counteract the impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government’s failure to do so could materially impact our business and operations.27
Previous governments have imposed controls on prices, exchange rates, local and foreign investment and international trade, restricted the ability of companies to dismiss employees, expropriated private sector assets and prohibited the remittance of profits to foreign investors. Former President Vizcarra was known for pursuing business-friendly and open-market economic policies, which remained in place during President Sagasti’s term. On October 27, 2021, President Castillo introduced a bill
(N° 583/2021-PE)
to the Peruvian Congress, which proposed to delegate to the executive branch the authority to regulate for a90-day
period, certain tax, fiscal, financial and economic matters. This bill was approved and ratified into law as Law No. 31380 on December 27, 2021. During such90-day
period various subsidies and reforms to certain financial system regulations were passed. However, although the90-day
term has expired, and the terms of the approved law differed from those originally proposed by President Castillo, there is no certainty that President Castillo will not continue to pursue similar measures or return to business-friendly and open-market economic policies that stimulate economic growth and stability during his term. Such political uncertainty, or actual policies implemented by the Peruvian government, could impact interest rates and currency volatility, as well as adversely and materially affect the Peruvian economy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Moreover, during the 1980s and the early 1990s, Peru experienced severe terrorist activity targeted against, among others, the government and the private sector. Despite the suppression of terrorist activity, a resurgence of terrorism in Peru may occur, which could disrupt the economy of Peru and our business.
There can be no assurance that Peru will not face continued or new economic, political or social problems in the future or that these problems will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Future government policies to
pre-empt
or respond to social unrest could include, among other things, expropriation, nationalization, suspension of the enforcement of creditors’ rights and new taxation policies. In addition, considering there have been two impeachment attempts initiated in Congress against President Castillo in his first eight months in office, we cannot rule out the possibility of additional vacancy motions on the grounds of permanent moral incapacity in near future.Public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, such as that being caused by the
COVID-19
pandemic, may materially and adversely affect Peru’s economy. Additionally, the Peruvian government measures adopted in order to address these health crises and epidemic/pandemics, such as the ongoingCOVID-19
pandemic, may not be sufficient to address their impact.The Peruvian government continues to deploy various economic and public health measures to address the pandemic caused by
COVID-19.
These measures are part of an economic stimulus plan that includes tax incentives among other tools intended to address the immediate impacts of the national state of emergency invoked by the Peruvian government to attempt to contain spread of the virus and lessen the strain on the health care system and the impact on the overall economy. The MEF, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the SBS, as well as other government entities have adopted specific measures to provide economic support to segments of the population, such as vulnerable population and small enterprises, which are most at risk in this crisis.Thequarantine measures may affect dynamism of various productive sectors of the economy. Reduced activity in these economic sectors may result in reduced employment and less income for families and companies, which may again generate a simultaneous shock on supply and demand—a supply shock resulting from the abrupt paralysis of production in multiple sectors and on the demand side as a result of reduced consumption, which may amplify the negative effects on the economy.
COVID-19
pandemic has had a material adverse impact on the Peruvian economy resulting in lower prices for primary goods, volatility in the financial markets, reduced international trade and lower activity in certain of the key drivers of the local economy. Prior to the pandemic, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (the “Central Bank”) had predicted economic growth of 3.8% for 2020 and 2021; however, as a result of theCOVID-19
pandemic, Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) dropped 11.0% in 2020 as compared to 2019, but GDP growth was 13.3% in 2021 as compared to 2020. TheCOVID-19
pandemic has also adversely affected the global economy, including the economies of China and the U.S., resulting in, among other things, decreased demand for goods and services and decreased trade activity, which, in turn, may adversely affect Peru’s economy. In addition, the return of social distancing andstay-at-home
28
Peru has committed significant resources to strengthening the public health system and social support to the neediest families to provide a public safety net to soften the economic impact of
COVID-19
on Peru’s most vulnerable citizens. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful or sufficient to address the effects of theCOVID-19
pandemic or its current or future spikes. Economic stagnation, contraction and decreased income levels and increased unemployment levels could adversely impact our results of operation in the long term, even afterCOVID-19
related restrictions are lifted. Over the long-term, we cannot assure you that the measures adopted by the Peruvian government to counteract the effects of theCOVID-19
pandemic will be sufficient to restore public confidence in the economy or to restore economic growth.Fluctuations in the value of the sol could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
As the Peruvian banking system is still partially dollarized, with 26.0% of gross loans and 43.0% of deposits denominated in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2021, devaluation of theagainst the U.S. dollar could have a negative impact on the ability of Interbank’s clients to repay loans and make premium payments.
sol
We are exposed to currency mismatch risks. Within our insurance segment, a similar adverse effect could occur on Interseguro’s local debt holdings denominated in foreign currency. Despite any devaluation, and absent any change in foreign exchange regulations, Interbank and Interseguro would be required to continue to repay dollar-denominated deposits in U.S. dollars. In addition, while we seek to manage the gap between Interbank’s and Interseguro’s foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, by matching, for example, the volumes and maturities of Interbank’s-denominated loans against Interbank’sdenominated deposits, we may not be successful in doing so. Therefore, any significant devaluation of theagainst the U.S. dollar could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a devaluation of theagainst the U.S. dollar would decrease the dollar value of any dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries, and, as a result, our ability to pay dividends could be materially and adversely affected. An appreciation of thecould also have an adverse impact on our results of operations as reported in, as Inteligo’s operations are denominated in U.S. dollars but our reporting currency is in.

Potential exchange controls implemented by the Peruvian government could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Since 1991, the Peruvian economy has undergone a major transformation from a highly protected and regulated system to a free market economy. During this period, protectionist and interventionist laws and policies have been dismantled gradually to create a liberal economy dominated by the private sector. Exchange controls and restrictions on remittances of profits, dividends and royalties have ceased. Prior to 1991, Peru exercised control over the foreign exchange markets by imposing multiple exchange rates and placing restrictions on the possession and use of foreign currencies. Currently, foreign exchange rates are determined by market conditions, with regular open-market operations by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in the foreign exchange market to reduce volatility in the value of Peru’s currency against the U.S. dollar.
Any dividends paid to us by Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo SAB will be paid in. Peruvian law does not impose any restrictions on the ability of companies having operations in Peru to transfer foreign currencies from Peru to other countries, except for restrictions applicable to companies that have been convicted or have admitted to and/or acknowledged committing crimes against the Peruvian public administration or money laundering or equivalent crimes, as set forth in Urgency Decree
soles
No. 003-2017
(Urgency Decree to Ensure Continuity of Public Utility Investment Projects and Safeguard Compensation to the State in Cases of Corruption), which restricts the transfer of both local and foreign currency abroad. Except for the restrictions set forth in such Urgency Decree, companies having operations in Peru may freely transfer foreign currency from Peru to other countries. If the Peruvian government were to implement restrictive exchange rate controls in the future, we might be obligated to seek an authorization from the Peruvian government to make dividend payments. We cannot assure holders of our common shares that such an authorization would be obtained. Any such exchange rate restrictions or the failure to obtain such an authorization could materially and adversely affect our ability to pay our shareholders.Increased inflation in Peru could have an adverse effect on the Peruvian long-term credit market as well as the Peruvian economy generally and, therefore, on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the past, Peru has suffered through periods of high and hyper-inflation, which has materially undermined the Peruvian economy and the government’s ability to create conditions that support economic growth. In response to increased inflation, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which sets the Peruvian basic interest rate, may increase or decrease the basic interest rate in an attempt to control inflation or foster economic growth. Increases in the base interest rate could adversely affect our results of operations, increasing the cost of certain funding. Additionally, a return to a high inflation environment would also undermine Peru’s foreign competitiveness, with negative effects on the level of economic activity and employment, while increasing our operating costs and adversely impacting our operating margins.
29
The stability of the Peruvian financial system depends on public confidence in Peruvian banking and financial institutions.
Financial institutions, including Interbank and Interseguro, depend on public confidence in the Peruvian financial system. In the event of adverse developments affecting Peru’s economic, political or social conditions or if a bank faces liquidity problems, the general public may withdraw deposits and savings from the troubled bank or from banks generally, thereby precipitating a liquidity crisis, as occurred in Peru in the late 1990s.
If depositors withdraw significant holdings from banks generally, including Interbank, there will be a substantial adverse impact on the manner in which financial institutions, including Interbank and Interseguro, conduct their business, on their ability to operate as financial intermediaries and on their financial condition, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The Peruvian economy could be adversely affected by economic developments in regional or global markets.
Financial and securities markets in Peru are influenced by economic and market conditions in regional or global markets. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investors’ perceptions of the events occurring in one country may adversely affect cash flows and securities from issuers in other countries, including Peru. For example, the Peruvian economy was adversely affected by the political and economic events that occurred in several emerging economies in the 1990s, including in Mexico in 1994, which impacted the fair value of securities issued by companies from markets throughout Latin America. The crisis in the Asian markets beginning in 1997 also negatively affected markets throughout Latin America. Similar adverse consequences resulted from the economic crisis in Russia in 1998, the Brazilian devaluation in 1999 and the Argentine crisis in 2001. In addition, Peru’s economy continues to be affected by events in the economies of its major regional partners and in developed economies that are trading partners or that affect the global economy.
The 2008 and 2009 global financial and economic crisis, principally driven by the subprime mortgage market in the United States, substantially affected the international financial system, including Peru’s securities market and economy. Additionally, the debt crisis in Europe, which began with the financial crises in Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal, reduced the confidence of foreign investors, which caused volatility in the securities markets and affected the ability of companies to obtain financing globally. Doubts about the pace of global growth, particularly in the United States, contributed to already weak international growth in 2011, 2012 and 2013. More recently Brexit and regional developments in China and other Asian countries have contributed to increased volatility and uncertainty in a number of financial markets. In addition, the announcement of rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the trade war between the United States and China, and, while our direct exposure to Russia is limited, Russia’s large-scale military invasion of Ukraine and its probable escalation, among other factors, could have an impact on the Peruvian economy by adding inflationary pressures, which includes high food and energy prices.
Any interruption to the recovery of the developed economies, the continued effects of the global crises, a worsening or resurgence of the debt crisis in Europe, impacts due to Brexit or a new geopolitical tension in Europe resulting in economic and/or financial crisis, or a combination of the above, could affect the Peruvian economy, and consequently, materially adversely affect our business. Our business is particularly sensitive to economic and market conditions which affect products of various export industries, including textile, fishing, and agriculture. In addition, we are active in the real estate sector, which can also be highly sensitive to macroeconomic developments. Although we have relatively little exposure to the mining sector, a decline in commodity prices could negatively affect the Peruvian economy as a whole. Any increase in the number of delinquencies or defaults would result in higher levels of
non-performing
assets and provisions for loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.Additionally, adverse developments in regional or global markets or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging markets in the future could adversely affect the Peruvian economy and, as a result, adversely affect our businesses.
Finally, the outbreak of
COVID-19
has affected the economy of some of our main trade partners, such as China, the United States and the European Union, which in turn negatively impacted Peru’s revenues from trade activity in 2020 despite the related increase in commodity prices which supported growth in trade activity in 2021. Furthermore, other adverse developments in regional or global markets or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging markets in the future could adversely affect the Peruvian economy and, as a result, adversely affect our businesses.30
A decline in the prices of certain commodities in the international markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In 2021, traditional exports, in particular mineral products, fishing products, agricultural products and petroleum and its derivatives, represented 73.8% of Peru’s total exports compared to 70.0% in 2020, according to the Central Reserve Bank of Peru figures. A growth in commodity prices in the international markets, especially traditional minerals which represented 62.8% and 60.9% of exports by value in 2021 and 2020, respectively, may have an adverse impact on government finances, which could affect both investor confidence and the sustainability of government expenditure and social programs. Thus, a decline in commodity prices could, ultimately, affect the political environment in Peru, especially as regional and local governments are particularly reliant on tax revenue from mining concerns. By potentially affecting private sector demand and investor confidence, lower commodity prices could also affect the banking and insurance sector, leading to, for example, lower credit demand, deteriorating asset quality and currency devaluation. A decline in commodity prices could also materially affect the finances of some of our clients that rely on revenue from natural resources.
The market volatility generated by distortions in the international financial markets may affect the Peruvian capital markets and the Peruvian banking system.
The global financial and economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 adversely affected and increased the volatility of the performance of the Lima Stock Exchange. In recent years, the Lima Stock Exchange has experienced increased participation from local and international retail investors that react rapidly to the effects from international markets. The general index of the Lima Stock Exchange increased by 6.1% in 2019 and increased by 1.4% in both 2020 and 2021. Volatility in the international markets may adversely affect the Peruvian capital markets and could therefore impact our ability to raise funds from local capital markets at a level necessary to fund our operations.
Although the Peruvian banking system has not experienced any significant liquidity problems in recent years, primarily because the major source of funds for local banks, including Interbank, is represented by the deposit base, future market volatility may affect do so. The occurrence of such volatility could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The operations of Interbank, Interseguro, Interfondos and Inteligo SAB could be adversely affected by an earthquake or other natural disasters.
Peru is affected by, an oceanic and atmospheric phenomenon that causes a warming of temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in heavy rains off the coast of Peru and various other effects in other parts of the world. The effects of, which typically occurs every two to seven years, include flooding and the destruction of fish populations and agriculture, and it accordingly can have a negative impact on Peru’s economy. For example, in early 2017,adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism and commercial activity, caused widespread damage to infrastructure and displaced people and resulted in a 1.5% drop in GDP growth in 2017 relative to 2016 figures. The Peruvian government estimated thatcaused U.S.$2.8 billion in damages in affected regions in the first half of 2017. In particular,has affected and could in the future affect our loan activity and asset quality, as loan agreements typically allow borrowers to extend payments for a certain amount of time due toand it could ultimately affect their payment capacity when the extensions run out.

Peru is also located in an area that experiences seismic activity and occasionally is affected by earthquakes. For example, in 2007, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale struck the central coast of Peru, severely damaging the region south of Lima, and on May 26, 2019, an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 struck a remote part of the Amazon in Peru, resulting in collapsed buildings, power failures and two reported deaths. Although Interbank’s, Interseguro’s and Inteligo’s headquarters and financial stores in Peru have not been materially affected by an earthquake, a major earthquake could damage the infrastructure necessary to their operations.
31
Although we have insured against damage caused by an earthquake and other natural disasters, accidents and other similar events (including coverage for losses due to resulting business interruption), the occurrence of an earthquake in particular and any other natural disasters in general could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and we may be subject to further requirements from the SBS in order to provide temporary measures for the victims of the natural disasters, such as
re-scheduling
their credit payments. Further, any natural disaster will increase the probability of Interseguro having to pay the corresponding indemnification to customers under insurance policies that Interseguro sold, which would negatively affect its operating margins.Corruption and ongoing high profile corruption investigations may hinder the growth of the Peruvian economy and have a negative impact on our business and operations.
Starting in 2018, Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment, including that of former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 and former President Martín Vizcarra in 2020, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. See “—Economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, inflation and unemployment, could have a material adverse effect on our businesses”.
In addition, several corruption scandals regarding authorities at municipal, regional and national government levels are also ongoing, and former and current government officials have been detained. Relatedly, Peruvian authorities are currently conducting several high profile corruption investigations relating to the activities of certain Brazilian companies and their Peruvian partners in the construction and infrastructure sectors, which have resulted in suspension or delay of important infrastructure projects, which were otherwise operational and permitted. Due to the cooperation agreement signed between the Peruvian government and Odebrecht S.A. in 2019, additional investigations and/or corruption scandals may arise. We cannot predict how these or future corruption scandals or investigations may affect the Peruvian economy, hinder the growth of the Peruvian economy and indirectly have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in tax laws may increase our tax liabilities and, as a result, have a material and adverse effect on us.
The Peruvian government regularly implements changes to its tax regulations and interpretations. Potential changes may include modifications in the taxable events, the taxable bases or the tax rates, or the enactment of temporary taxes that, in some cases, could become permanent taxes. The Peruvian government has recently introduced several changes related, among others, to thin capitalization rules (which prevents companies from deducting interests for tax purposes when certain thresholds are exceeded) and to the general anti-avoidance rule or GAAR (which entitles the tax and customs national superintendency to challenge the taxation of certain transactions with a substance-over-form criteria).
On October 27, 2021, President Castillo introduced a bill
(N° 583/2021-PE)
to the Peruvian Congress, which proposed to delegate to the executive branch the authority to regulate for a90-day
period, certain tax, fiscal, financial and economic matters. This bill was approved and ratified into law as Law No. 31380 on December 27, 2021. During such90-day
period various subsidies and reforms to certain financial system regulations were passed. However, although the90-day
term has expired, and the terms of the approved law differed from those originally proposed by President Castillo, there is no certainty that President Castillo will not continue to pursue similar measures or return to business-friendly and open-market economic policies that stimulate economic growth and stability during his term. The effects of any tax reform that could be proposed in the future and any other changes that could result from the enactment of additional reform or changes in interpretation have not been, and cannot be, quantified. Any changes to the Peruvian tax regime or interpretation thereof may result in an increase of our and our subsidiaries’ tax liabilities and/or overall compliance costs, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, such political uncertainty, or actual policies implemented by the Peruvian government, could also impact interest rates and currency volatility, as well as adversely and materially affect the Peruvian economy, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.The dollarization of the Peruvian economy hampers monetary policy, which in turn may have an effect on our business
Dollarization generally refers to the degree to which the U.S. dollar has displaced thein the economy. Despite the positive effect that it may have on reducing cross-border transaction costs and preserving purchasing power, the dollarization of the Peruvian economy has also hampered monetary policy by undermining the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s ability to control the money supply. Despite the government’s efforts to “solarize” the economy, the high degree of dollarization of the economy affects the Peruvian financial system by forcing the Central Reserve Bank of Peru to

establish high levels of reserve requirements in U.S. dollars while also adding a risk to participating banks’ balance sheets, including Interbank. An appreciation of the U.S. dollar poses a risk to us and a systemic risk to the Peruvian financial system because of the levels of U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities in the Peruvian financial system. This risk comes from the potential imbalance that a bank’s clients may experience when borrowing in U.S. dollars and earning in. As a result, the SBS has been enacting rules aimed to make banks capable of identifying clients with potential imbalances and establishing reserves if necessary.

Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all financial institutions regulated by the SBS (except for small-business development) for certain obligations. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru may require additional and marginal reserves. The exact level and method of calculation of the reserve requirement is set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which has issued different sets of regulations for foreign and local currency-denominated obligations of banks. We cannot assure you that the Central Reserve Bank of Peru will not increase the base rate or impose additional requirements in the future, or that such changes in the regulatory environment will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Relating to the Common Shares
There may be a lack of liquidity and market for our common shares.
An active and liquid market for our common shares may not be maintained. Active, liquid trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and respond more efficiently to orders from investors to purchase or sell securities. Liquidity of a securities’ market is often a function of the volume of the underlying shares that are publicly-held by unrelated parties. Our common shares are listed on the Lima Stock Exchange, which is generally a less liquid trading market than the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
In addition, investing in securities traded in emerging market countries, such as Peru, frequently involves a greater degree of risk when compared to investments in securities of issuers located in international securities markets with more stable economic conditions and are generally considered being more speculative in nature.
These factors affect the ability of holders of our common to sell common shares at a desirable price and time, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common shares. In the event an active and liquid market for our common shares does not develop or is not maintained, the market price of our common shares that could be negatively impacted.
The price of our common shares may be volatile.
The trading price of our common shares may fluctuate substantially and may be higher or lower than the price holders of our common shares pay, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause holders of our common shares to lose part or all of their investment in our common shares. The factors that could cause fluctuations include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | overall price and volume fluctuations affecting the stock exchanges on which our common shares are listed, including financial market volatility as a result of Russia’s large-scale military invasion of Ukraine; |
• | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of banking or insurance company securities generally, which are not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies; |
• | actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or the failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; |
• | risks relating to the global economy and the economies of the United States, Peru and the other countries in which we operate; |
• | investors’ perceptions of the banking and insurance industries in general and our company in particular; |
33
• | potential differences between our actual financial condition and results of operations and those expected by investors; |
• | additions or departures of key management personnel; |
• | announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, divestitures, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
• | increase in interest rates in Peru and the United States; |
• | reputational issues; |
• | the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; |
• | general economic conditions and trends; |
• | catastrophic events; |
• | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; |
• | regulatory changes; |
• | loss of external funding sources; or |
• | sales of large blocks of our stock or sales by insiders. |
We may raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of equity securities, which may result in dilution of the interests of our shareholders.
We may need to raise additional capital and may opt for obtaining such capital through the public or private placement of common shares or securities convertible into our common shares. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for preemptive rights for our shareholders in the event of a public or private equity raise, or financing through the issuance of securities convertible into our common shares, such additional funds may dilute the percentage interests of investors in our common shares.
The significant share ownership of our controlling shareholder may conflict with the interests of the holders of our common shares and may have an adverse effect on the future market price of our shares.
As of December 31, 2021, our controlling shareholder (Intercorp Peru) owned, directly and indirectly, 70.64% of our outstanding capital stock. Actions by Intercorp Peru with respect to the disposition of any of our common shares that it beneficially owns or the perception that such actions will occur, may negatively affect the trading price of our common shares.
In addition, Intercorp Peru has and will continue to have the ability to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors and thus determine our business strategies, as well as determine the outcome of actions that require shareholder approval, including the approval of mergers and other extraordinary transactions and the payment of dividends. The controlling shareholder of Intercorp Peru may have interests that differ from those of the holders of our common shares and may take actions that may be adverse to their interests. The concentration of ownership may also delay, prevent or deter a change in control of our company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our common shares.
In addition, we and our subsidiaries engage in numerous related party transactions with companies controlled by Intercorp Peru as well as other affiliated companies. Although Peruvian, Panamanian and Bahamian law regulate the amount of credit exposure our subsidiaries are permitted to have with our related parties, conflicts of interest may arise in the future. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Transactions.”
Holders of our common shares may have fewer and less well-defined rights than shareholders of a company organized in other jurisdictions, such as the United States.
We are a(corporation) organized under the laws of Panama. Our corporate affairs are governed by our organizational documents and the laws of Panama. Under such documents and laws, our shareholders, and therefore holders of our common shares, may have fewer or less well-defined rights than they might have as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in other jurisdictions, such as in the United States.

Holders of our common shares may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us, our officers and directors.
Substantially all of our directors, officers and certain of the experts named herein reside outside the United States, and all or substantial portions of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for holders of our securities to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or upon us, including with respect to matters arising under the federal securities laws of the United States, or to enforce against such persons or against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
We have been advised by our Peruvian counsel that any final and conclusive judgment for a fixed and final sum obtained against us in any foreign court having jurisdiction in respect of any suit, action or proceeding against us for the enforcement of any obligations assumed under our outstanding securities or this Annual Report on Formthat (a) there is a treaty in effect between the country where said foreign court sits and Peru regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments or, (b) in the absence of such a treaty, the original judgment is recognized by Peruvian Courts () under suchproceeding, subject to the provisions of the Peruvian Civil Code and the Peruvian Civil Procedure Code,, that the following conditions and requirements are met: (i) the foreign judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian Courts, (ii) such foreign court had jurisdiction under its own conflicts of law rules and under general principles of international law on jurisdiction, (iii) the defendant was adequately served and was guaranteed due process under the laws of the jurisdiction of the issuing court, (iv) the foreign judgment has the status ofin the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment, (v) there is no pending litigation in Peru between the same parties for the same dispute, which shall have been initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with such foreign judgment, (vi) the foreign judgment is not incompatible with another judgment that fulfills the requirements of recognition and enforceability established by Peruvian law unless such foreign judgment was rendered first, (vii) the foreign judgment is not contrary to public order () or good morals (), (viii) it has not been proven that such foreign court denies enforcement of Peruvian judgments or engages in a review of the merits thereof, (ix) the judgment has been (a) duly apostilled by the competent authority of the jurisdiction of the issuing court, in case of jurisdictions that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention and has not opposed Peru’s accession thereto, or (b) certified by Peruvian consular authorities, in case of jurisdictions that are not parties to the Hague Apostille Convention, or then being a signatory country, opposed Peru’s accession thereto and is accompanied by a certified and officially translated copy of such judgment into Spanish, and (x) the applicable court taxes and filing fees have been paid.

We have been advised by our Panamanian counsel that there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in original actions in Panamanian courts of liabilities predicated solely on the U.S. federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Panamanian courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. There is no existing treaty between the United States and Panama for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments of courts outside Panama, including without limitation, judgments of U.S. courts. Panamanian courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered in the United States based on legal principles of reciprocity and comity. We have been advised by our Panamanian counsel that judgments rendered by foreign courts may only be recognized and enforced by the courts of Panama in the event that the Supreme Court of Panama validates such judgment by the issuance of a writ of exequatur. Subject to a writ of exequatur, any final judgment rendered by any U.S. court will be recognized, conclusive and enforceable in the courts of Panama without reconsideration of the merits, provided that: (i) such foreign court grants reciprocity to the enforcement of judgments of the courts of Panama; (ii) the party against which the judgment was rendered was personally served (service by mail not being sufficient) in such action within such foreign jurisdiction; (iii) the judgment arises out of a personal action against the defendant; (iv) the obligation in respect of which the judgment was rendered is lawful in Panama and does not contradict the public policy of Panama; (v) the judgment is properly authenticated by diplomatic or consular officers of Panama or pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention on the Legalization of Documents; and (vi) a copy of the final judgment is translated into Spanish by a licensed translator in Panama. We have no reason to believe that any of our obligations relating to the shares would be contrary to Panamanian law.

The laws of Peru and Panama may not be as favorable to the interests of holders of our common shares as the laws of jurisdictions with which they are familiar. The application of these laws, or any conflict among them, could call into question what and how the laws of each jurisdiction should apply.
In addition, our articles of incorporation contain a general indemnification provision for our officers and directors for any loss, change or payment arising out of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of them. Directors and officers and their successors and their property will be compensated for and kept safe, during the time devoted to the Company in relation to any of the affairs thereof, from any action, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which any of them may incur or sustain by reason of any act or omission done in the performance of their duties, and none of them will be liable for the acts, neglect or omissions of others, even if his signature or action has been provided as internal or external requirement. The indemnity provision does not cover any damage or loss resulting from malice or inexcusable negligence on the part of any of our officers or directors.
Judgments of Peruvian courts with respect to our common shares will be payable only in soles.
If proceedings are brought in the courts of Peru seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of our common shares, we will not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than. Under Peruvian exchange control limitations, an obligation in Peru to pay amounts denominated in a currency other thanmay be satisfied in Peruvian currency only at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Bank, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not afford

investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under our common shares.We are subject to different corporate disclosure and accounting standards than those holders of our common shares may be familiar with in the United States.
As a corporation organized under the laws of Panama, our corporate affairs are governed by the laws of Panama. In addition, as our common shares are listed on the Lima Stock Exchange and the majority of our subsidiaries’ operations are in Peru, we follow Panamanian and most Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. Financial reporting and securities disclosure requirements in Panama and Peru differ in certain significant respects from those required in the United States. There are also material differences among IFRS, SBS GAAP and U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the information about us available to holders of our common shares will not be the same as the information available to holders of shares issued by a U.S. company.
In addition, the Peruvian Securities Market Law, which governs open or publicly listed companies, such as us, imposes disclosure requirements that are more limited than those in the U.S. in certain important respects. Although Peruvian law imposes restrictions on insider trading and price manipulation, applicable Peruvian laws are different from those in the United States, and the Peruvian securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets.
We could be considered a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences for U.S. investors.
Based on our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, relevant market and shareholder data and our current business plans, we believe that we will not be treated as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2021 and current taxable years, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. Characterization as a PFIC could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to holders of our common shares if they are U.S. investors. Certain elections may be available to mitigate the consequences if we are treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
20-F.
One or more of our subsidiaries could be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
As discussed in more detail in “Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” U.S. investors face unique U.S. tax issues from indirectly owning interests in a PFIC that may result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to them. See “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form

If we are unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management is required to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. We can provide no assurance that from time to time we will not identify concerns that could require remediation. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations in the future. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in subsequent years as required by Section 404, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the value of our common shares.
Failure to comply with Section 404 could also potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, the NYSE or other regulatory authorities.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members or executive officers.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not incurred as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also have incurred and will incur costs to establish systems to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and related rules implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as our executive officers and may divert management’s attention. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common shares, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation which may adversely affect us.
Our status as a foreign private issuer allows us to follow alternate standards to the corporate governance standards of the NYSE, which may limit the protections afforded to investors.
We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance standards. Under NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practices of its home country and not comply with certain corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies with securities listed on the exchange. We currently follow certain Panamanian and most Peruvian practices concerning corporate governance and intend to continue to do so. Accordingly, holders of our common shares will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.
For example, the NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a U.S. listed company must have a majority of independent directors at the time the company ceases to be a “controlled company”. The listing standards for the NYSE also require that U.S. listed companies, at the time they cease to be “controlled companies,” have a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee (in addition to an audit committee). Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards. Under both Panamanian and Peruvian law, companies may, but are not required to, form special governance committees, which may be composed partially or entirely of
non-independent
directors. In addition, NYSE rules require the independentnon-executive
directors of U.S. listed companies to meet on a regular basis without management being present. There is no similar requirement under Peruvian and Panamanian law.37
The NYSE’s listing standards also require U.S. listed companies to adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. In December 2013, the SMV published the new Code of Good Governance for Peruvian Companies. Although we have implemented most of these measures, those principles are not mandatory and therefore we are not legally required to comply with the corporate governance guidelines, but are required to disclose whether or not we are in compliance. We are fully compliant with Panamanian corporate law and are part of the Index of Good Corporate Governance () maintained by the Lima Stock Exchange.

If securities or industry analysts do not actively follow our business, or if they publish unfavorable research about our business, the price and trading volume of our common shares could decline.
The trading market for our common shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common shares or publishes unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common shares could decrease, which could cause the price and trading volume of our common shares to decline.
Future offerings of debt or preferred securities may limit our operating and financial flexibility and may materially adversely affect the market price of, and dilute the value of, the common shares.
If we decide to issue debt or preferred securities in the future or otherwise incur indebtedness, it is possible that these debt or preferred securities or indebtedness will be governed by an indenture or credit agreement or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility and limiting our ability to make distributions to holders of the common shares. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges, including with respect to distributions, more favorable than those of the common shares and may result in dilution to holders of the common shares. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering or otherwise incur indebtedness will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings or financings, any of which could materially reduce the market price of the common shares and dilute the value of the common shares.
Peruvian corporations, including our subsidiaries, may be jointly and severally liable for any unpaid Peruvian capital gains tax related to the transfer of the common shares.
Peruvian corporations, including our subsidiaries, may be jointly and severally liable for any unpaid Peruvian capital gains tax related to the transfer of shares issued by their foreign holding company.

We are the majority owner and controlling shareholder of our subsidiaries, Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo, which comprise our banking, insurance and wealth management segments, respectively. We are responsible for coordinating, supervising and establishing their strategy and management policies. In 2007, we conducted an initial public offering of our common shares publicly in Peru and privately outside of Peru. Our parent company is Intercorp Peru, a holding company for a group of companies operating mainly in Peru under the name “Intercorp”. Intercorp Peru’s main subsidiaries include our company and Intercorp Retail. Intercorp Retail acts as a holding company for the retail and real estate operations of Intercorp Peru in Peru.

Interbank is an open-stock corporation (). Interbank was incorporated in Lima, Peru in 1897 and formerly conducted business under the names “Banco Internacional del Perú S.A.” and “Interbank”. In August 1994, as part of the government’s privatization efforts, 91% of Interbank’s share capital was acquired by Corporación Interbank, which subsequently transferred its holdings in Interbank to the Rodríguez-Pastor family through Intercorp Peru, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas that is listed on the Lima Stock Exchange. After Interbank’s acquisition by Intercorp Peru in 1994, Interbank began conducting business under the name “Interbank” as part of a rebranding and modernization effort, and has become a leading universal bank in Peru. As of December 31, 2021, IFS holds 99.30% of the capital stock of Interbank.

Interseguro is a corporation () that was incorporated in 1998 by Intercorp Peru, pursuant to an agreement between Intercorp Peru and The Bankers Trust Company (“Bankers Trust”) (at the time the controlling shareholder of Consorcio Nacional de Seguros S.A.A., the largest insurer in Chile) to benefit from the expansion of the insurance business in Peru. In connection with the sale of Bankers Trust to Deutsche Bank AG in 1999, Bankers Trust’s interest in Interseguro was sold to a group of Chilean investors, and in 2000 Intercorp Peru acquired the portion of Interseguro that it did not own.

On May 31, 2017, we entered into a share purchase agreement with Sura Asset Management Company (“SUAM”) and “Grupo Wiese” to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Seguros Sura S.A.

The transaction became effective on November 2, 2017 and the approval by SBS was granted on September 28, 2017. This merger consolidated Interseguro’s leadership in the annuities market, as well as strengthened its position in credit life insurance.
Inteligo was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Panama in 2006. Inteligo Bank is a corporation that was incorporated in 1995 in The Bahamas and formerly conducted business under the names of Interbank Overseas Ltd. and Blubank Ltd. Inteligo SAB is a corporation (that started operations in 1993. On July 18, 2014, the board of directors of IFS approved the acquisition of Inteligo, effective on August 1, 2014.

In January 2019, we announced the consolidation of our wealth management activities at Inteligo by transferring Interbank’s mutual funds subsidiary, Interfondos, to Inteligo, where asset management is the core business.
Finally, in July 2019 we, together with Interbank, Intercorp Peru and a
non-related
shareholder conducted aSEC-registered
initial public offering as a result of which IFS sold 1,150,000 newly-issued common shares and 2,418,754 treasury common shares (including shares sold by Interbank), Intercorp Peru sold 2,531,246 common shares and thenon-related
shareholder sold 3,000,000 common shares. In addition, the underwriters partially exercised their option to purchase 1,350,000 additional shares, which resulted in the purchase of 1,186,841 newly-issued common shares.Although historically since 2008 we have delivered returns for our shareholders supported by a strong bottom-line generation, our distribution of dividends in 2021, based on our 2020 results, were negatively affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic. In 2020, dividends were U.S.$202 million based on 2019 results. In 2021, we paid U.S.$88.9 million in dividends based on 2020 results.Furthermore, in November 2021, IFS39
agreed to distribute U.S.$75.0 million in extraordinary dividends, which were paid in December 2021 and based on retained earnings. In 2022, dividends will be U.S.$202.0 million based on 2021 results. In addition, our market capitalization has increased from U.S.$1.2 billion in 2007 to U.S.$3.0 billion as of December 31, 2021, based on a price of U.S.$26.38, as reported by the NYSE on the same date.

pandemic on our subsidiaries’ businesses.We operate the following three business segments:

Market Opportunity
We believe that the ongoing growth of the Peruvian economy, the expanding middle class, the growth of private wealth creation in Peru, the low penetration of financial services and the well-capitalized and profitable Peruvian financial system offer significant opportunities for our continued growth despite the increased political uncertainty. Moreover, the economic impact caused by the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic and the response measures implemented by the Peruvian government opened up new opportunities to accelerate our digital transformation and growth in deposits and loans, enabling us to efficiently acquire and serve more clients, while providing distinctive and convenient customer service and greater access and inclusion to financial services to previously underserved Peruvians.Growing economy with solid macroeconomic fundamentals
Although the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic led to a GDP contraction of 11.0% in 2020 in Peru (compared to contractions of 6.8% in Colombia, 6.0% in Chile, 8.2% in Mexico and 4.1% in Brazil), Peru’s GDP increased to 13.3% in 2021 (compared to growth rates of 10.6% in Colombia, 12.0% in Chile, 4.8% in Mexico, and 4.6% in Brazil). Moreover, prior to the pandemic, Peru’s average GDP growth rate was 3.2% between 2015 and 2019, according to the World Bank, a higher rate than those of Peru’s peer countries in Latin America during the same period (Colombia at 2.4%, Chile at 2.0%, Mexico at 2.0%, and Brazil at negative 0.6%).The Peruvian government’s prudent management of the economy, conservative fiscal policy, coupled with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s cautious management of inflation and international reserves have contributed to economic development, increased internal consumption and strong macroeconomic fundamentals, including low levels of public debt, low inflation, low fiscal deficit and high levels of international reserves. However, 2021 was characterized by global inflationary pressures that have resulted in an inflation rate that has been temporarily above the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s target and higher inflation expectations for 2022 and beyond. Peru’s strong track record of macroeconomic policy credibility, consistency and ability to adapt to changes has helped it to achieve investment grade ratings of Baal by Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”), BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) and BBB by Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”) as of December 31, 2021. In its most recent forecast as of March 2022, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated real GDP growth for Peru of 3.4% for 2022 and 3.2% for 2023, as compared to the 13.3% increase registered in 2021 due to the low comparison as a result of the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic.Evolution of the middle class and affluent population
The core of our customer base is Peru’s middle class and affluent population. According to INEI, the poverty rate in Peru increased to 30.1% in 2020, attributed to the impact of the(APEIM), Peru’s middle and upper socioeconomic segments (segments A, B and C) have significantly expanded and, as of 2021, represented 48% of the population compared to 42% in 2010. We believe that a growing middle class and affluent population creates a greater need for financial services, particularly for increasingly sophisticated banking, insurance and wealth management products. These growing socioeconomic segments support growth and profitability across our business. Additionally, based on macroeconomic trends, we expect the number of high net worth individuals in Peru and the size of their investable assets to continue to grow and further increase the market for wealth management services.
COVID-19
pandemic, after reaching a historical low of 20.2% in 2019, reaching levels similar to 2010 (30.8%). GDP per capita in U.S. dollars has grown from U.S.$5,082 in 2010 to U.S.$7,028 in 2019 but retreated to U.S.$6,127 in 2020 due to the impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic, according to the World Bank. For 2021, Peru had a total population of 33.1 million, and according to theAsociación Peruana de Empresas de Investigación de Mercados

Low financial services penetration
We believe that growth potential in Peru’s financial services sector continues to be significant. Despite sustained recent growth of 9.3% CAGR in total gross loans between 2017 and 2021, banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio ofwas 40.1% as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. This represents a decline over the 45.4% registered as of December 31, 2020 and is mainly explained by the base effect resulting from (i) lower balances of Reactiva Peru loans in 2021 as compared to 2020, and (ii) the recovery in GDP growth in 2021. However, this also represents an improvement compared to the 37.2% registered as of December 31, 2019. We believe this general increase demonstrates that it is feasible to rapidly increase financial penetration in Peru through these types of programs. Moreover, within the retail banking segment, we believe that penetration potential is even more significant in mortgages given that as of December 31, 2021, there were approximately 0.2 million mortgages outstanding in Peru for a population of approximately 33.1 million, compared to approximately 1.6 million mortgages outstanding in Chile for a population of approximately 19.7 million. Similarly, according to industry sources, insurance penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio ofas of December 31, 2020, is estimated to be 2.0%, which is lower than the average ratio of 3.1% for the group of peer countries in Latin America, and less than the ratio of 4.0% for Chile.

Introduction of Reactiva Peru government-sponsored credit guarantee program amidst the
COVID-19
pandemicIn response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, in April 2020, the Peruvian government introduced Reactiva Peru. The program, which was subsequently expanded to S/60 billion, was designed to ensure the continuity of payments to lenders and stabilize the economy by allowing Peruvian banks to originate low interest-rate, Central Bank-funded, commercial loans, guaranteed between 80% and 98% by the Peruvian government. This program allowed companies to obtain working capital loans and comply with their short-term obligations to workers and suppliers of goods and services. As initially designed,loans disbursed under the Reactiva Peru program were to have a maximum duration of 36 months with a12-month
grace period. Given the low risk and their interest in supporting the financial needs of their customers, Peruvian banks have been growing their Reactiva Peru loan segments substantially. In 2020 and 2021, according to the Central Bank, loans to the private sector grew 11.8% and 4.3%, respectively, mainly due to disbursements and partial extension of loans under the Reactiva Peru program. Excluding the effect of the Reactiva Peru program, loans to the private sector would have decreased 5.1% in 2020, but increased 9.3% in 2021. In March 2021, the Peruvian government approved an initiative to provide further relief for loans disbursed under the Reactiva Peru program, by providing for a rescheduling process for such loans, including a new grace period of up to 12 months. The rescheduling program initially covered up to S/16 billion (27% of the initial program) in loans disbursed and companies had until July 15, 2021 to request the rescheduling of their outstanding loans under certain conditions, which were assessed by the respective financial institutions according to the size of the company and of the loan that was initially granted. Moreover, in order to establish measures to continue promoting the financing of SMEs affected by theCOVID-19
pandemic, the Peruvian government extended the deadline to request the rescheduling of Reactiva Peru loans until December 31, 2021.These measures may help to alleviate the financial burden of some customers within the financial system, paving the way for the rollover of such debts during normalized conditions after the Reactiva Peru loans mature. As such, banks may be able to extend their respective credit facilities and maintain increased loans within the customer segments who benefit from the Reactiva Peru program.
Systemic loan rescheduling schemes in response to the
COVID-19
pandemicCustomers of the Peruvian financial system have been able to request the rescheduling of their debts and postponement of their obligations under different schemes implemented in response to the

pandemic, some of which do not require payment of additional interest or fees. As of December 31, 2021, Interbank’s loans that were subject to some kind of rescheduling represented S/6.3 billion or 14.6% of the total loan portfolio, of which, S/4.5 billion were retail loans (21.3% of Interbank’s total retail loans), and the remaining S/1.8 billion were commercial loans (8.0% of Interbank’s total commercial loans). In comparison, as of December 31, 2020, Interbank’s loans that were subject to some kind of rescheduling represented S/10.5 billion or 25.2% of the total loan portfolio, of which, S/7.5 billion were retail loans (39.1% of Interbank’s total retail loans), and the remaining S/3.0 billion were commercial loans (13.2% of Interbank’s total commercial loans).46
Well-capitalized financial system
As a result of sound regulation and prudent management, the Peruvian financial system is well-capitalized, according to figures published by the SBS. Gross loans in Peru (measured in) have grown at a CAGR of 9.3% between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2021, while the banking system’s asset quality has remained strong with a ratio of
soles
past-due
loans as a percentage of total gross loans of 3.8% and a ratio of impairment allowance for loans as a percentage ofpast-due
loans of 155.5% as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS. Capitalization of the Peruvian banking system has consistently been well above regulatory requirements with a total capital ratio of the banking system of 14.9% as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS. Interbank’s capitalization ratio was 15.9% and Interseguro’s regulatory solvency ratio was 152.8%, according to the SBS as of December 31, 2021.Development of new technologies and distribution channels
There are many technological trends currently impacting the financial services industry worldwide. For example, the penetration of cell phones, Internet and the 5G mobile network, the ability to process large quantities of data through big data, cloud and machine learning, and the opportunity to utilize robotics and artificial intelligence. As a result, many large banks have started digital transformations with large increases in their level of technological investments and are working on developing their product offerings.
Due to improved technology, banks are now able to offer a better value proposition to their customers that include better solutions with features tailored to the customer’s needs, contextual banking (whereby the customer is offered a connected banking experience, including tailored product offerings), enhanced 24 hour customer support and access and faster approval and response times, all at a lower per capita cost. Additionally, banks are now able to reach a broader base of customers both in terms of income levels and geographic locations and will be able to gradually offer them more products and services and make them a part of the banked segment of the Peruvian population, which constitutes a very important growth opportunity in the country.
Competitive Strengths
We have established a premier financial group with leading market positions in each of our primary business segments. We believe that our market share, focus on targeted and profitable segments, scale and highly recognized and trusted brands, combined with adoption of innovative technologies, a well-structured digital platform and increasing integration across our business segments, strongly position us to capitalize on the future expansion of the Peruvian economy.
Leading financial services provider focused on retail customers and highly attractive businesses
We target retail customers and growing and profitable businesses in Peru. We have highly recognized and trusted brands in each of our segments, Interbank in banking, Interseguro in insurance and Inteligo in wealth management. Within our banking segment, Interbank focuses primarily on retail banking, where we believe we are able to obtain higher profitability, with 49.1% of its loan portfolio constituting retail loans, compared to 31.9% for the Peruvian banking system, as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS. Interbank is the second largest provider of consumer loans among banks in Peru, with a 22.6% market share as measured by gross consumer loans as of December 31, 2021, compared with 24.4% for BCP, 16.4% for Scotiabank and 13.9% for BBVA. Interbank is also the largest privately-owned bank provider of payroll deduction loans to public sector employees, with a 25.2% market share by payroll deduction loans, in each case as of December 31, 2021.
We believe that our focus on the retail market has allowed Interbank to obtain a higher ROE than the banking system on average. This higher ROE is driven by a balanced consumer loan portfolio where two of our most profitable products are credit cards and payroll deduction loans. Interbank has the highest net interest margins when compared to the three largest banks in Peru, due to its higher weighting in retail banking and consumer loans when compared to its peers. Low delinquency rates on our payroll deduction loans reduce the overall credit risk exposure of our consumer loans portfolio.
Our commercial banking business serves a range of clients spanning large corporates,
mid-corporates
andsmall-sized
andmedium-sized
companies (“SMEs”). We are focusing on increasing our market share inmid-corporates
and SMEs while maintaining our large corporate business with a profit-oriented approach. In this context, our participation in the Reactiva Peru program allowed us to start new business relationships with clients from themid-corporate
and SME segments, reaching a market share of 7.7% formid-corporates
and 5.8% for SMEs as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS. We believe that these segments will continue to provide additional growth opportunities in the coming years. Moreover, our overall commercial loan portfolio provides us with a lower risk component that balances our total loan portfolio.47
We believe that Interseguro provides us with a fast-growing and profitable business. In our insurance segment, Interseguro is the leading provider of annuities in Peru, despite the effect of the
COVID-19
pandemic and the economic and political uncertainty in the run up to the presidential general election in Peru, with a market share of total annuities (excluding private annuities) of 32.0% as measured by premiums collected for the year ended December 31, 2021, according to the SBS. We focus on the middle class and affluent population in Peru, a segment we believe is substantially underpenetrated in insurance services. During April 2016, the Peruvian Congress enacted a law that allowed retirees to withdraw up to 95.5% of their accumulated capital in cash in their mandatory pension account upon retirement, resulting in a significant reduction of retirement annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In this context, in order to keep its position as a leading provider in annuities, in 2016, Interseguro launched its private annuities product which allows retirees to receive a fixed income either for life or a fixed period. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form20-F,
most of the customers of private annuities and their funds originate from retirees who choose to buy a product from an insurance company rather than from a private pension fund. Interseguro is also a leading provider of life insurance with the acquisition of Seguros Sura and we believe this market provides an additional opportunity for growth. Finally, the company’s digital channels are taking a leading role inside the company’s structure.Within our wealth management segment, we believe Inteligo is well positioned to capture an increasing share of the number of high net worth clients. Inteligo’s CAGR in assets under management was 9.1% between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2021. We believe that both Inteligo’s position as a provider of tailored wealth management services and its ability to provide its customers with both local and international investment products will help increase its share of wallet amongindividuals, while delivering high levels of growth and profitability.
high-net-worth
Track record of sustained growth supported by our strong and growing market share and high profitability
Our strong track record of growth is supported by our increased market share, improvements in efficiency, and high profitability across our business segments. At Interbank, we have gained significant market share over the years. Our market share in total gross loans has increased from 9.4% in 2007, 11.1% in 2015, to 12.3% in 2021, while our market share in total deposits has grown from 9.3% in 2007, 12.1% in 2015, to 13.4% in 2021. We are focused primarily on retail banking because we believe that it presents significant growth opportunities and higher profitability. In retail banking, Interbank’s outstanding retail loans, including consumer and mortgage loans, increased 9.5% between December 2020 and December 2021, as compared to the 7.6% increase registered for the Peruvian banking system, according to the SBS. Our market share was 22.6% in consumer loans in December 2021, the second largest in the market. In the same period, Interbank has held a strong position across retail products, with market shares of 17.3% and 18.9% of total retail loans in 2016 and December 2021, respectively, according to the SBS. With respect to mortgage loans, Interbank’s market share increased from 13.1% in 2016 to 15.3% in December 2021, according to the SBS. Interbank’s increasing market shares have been accompanied by high profitability, with ROE averaging 18.4% compared to 15.4% for the Peruvian banking system, from 2016 to 2021. The commercial banking division at Interbank has also grown faster than the Peruvian banking system, and was recently boosted by our participation in the Reactiva Peru program. However, Interbank’s outstanding commercial loans declined 1.7% between December 2020 and December 2021, as compared to the 7.3% increase registered for the system, according to the SBS.
Interseguro’s positioning in the industry increased, with market shares in annuities by premiums (excluding private annuities) of 22.7% in 2007, 24.5% in 2015 and 32.0% in December 2021. Interseguro’s assets increased at a CAGR of 24.1% compared to 10.4% for the Peruvian insurance industry between 2017 and 2021. Between 2016 and 2021, Interseguro’s ROE averaged 24.6% compared to 12.6% for the Peruvian insurance industry, both according to the SBS. Interseguro’s ROE was 19.9% for the year ended December 31, 2021, according to the SBS.
Inteligo’s assets under management grew at a CAGR of 9.1% between 2017 and 2021. Similarly, net profit grew at a CAGR of 9. 2% between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2021, supported by both strong fees on assets under management and consistently positive results on investments. Inteligo’s ROAE averaged 24.0% for the three-year period ended December 31, 2021. Inteligo’s ROAE was 23.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Digital financial services platform with rapidly increasing levels of adoption
IFS is striving to reshape the banking space in Peru, creating a new digital experience driven by convenience and simplicity. Although we believe physical channels are still necessary in an underpenetrated financial system like Peru’s, our digital platform has substantially increased our customers’ interactions with Interbank and provided us with new business opportunities to build on consumer loyalty and cross-sell services, as well as accelerate new customer acquisition and inclusion of previously underserved segments of the population, including individuals, entrepreneurs and micro-businesses. The changes in consumer behavior and the accelerated adoption of digital solutions brought in 2020 by
COVID-19
continued throughout 2021 and our agile digital solutions framework has allowed us to more effectively capture the opportunities brought by increased digitalization. We have a broad and evolving offering of digital products and services for existing and new clients, enabling them to get what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. In 2021, we launched digital payments and credit solutions such as the capability to pay with QR Codes and access credit card information for online purchases, as well as the ability to apply and obtain personal loans and credit cards directly through our app.We believe our digital platform is one of our competitive advantages and it has driven an increase in our market share. The migration of customer interaction from physical channels like financial stores and contact centers to digital channels, continued to grow in 2021. As of December 2021, 80% of Interbank’s retail customers interacted digitally with the bank, up from 75% in December 2020, and 100% digital customers reached 59% in December 2021 up from 58% in December 2020. Our digital transformation allows our customers to interact more frequently with us and customers’ monthly interactions through our digital platform increased substantially, from 21.0 times per month in December 2020 to 24.8 times per month in December 2021, while interactions in branches increased from 2.05 times to 2.09 times in the same period. Our penetration of digital sales increased to 56.0% from 50.0% in December 2020, while self-service transactions increased to 69.3% from 63.7% in the same period.
In January 2020, Interbank, in collaboration with BBVA and Scotiabank, launched Plin which consists of a shared directory to enable person to person (“P2P”) and person to microbusiness (“P2MB”) payments among enrolled customers of any of the participant institutions. These payments are offered 24/7 and commission free to all enrolled customers who can conveniently access this feature from the Interbank app. From December 2020 to December 2021, total enrolled users in Plin grew from 2.6 million to 5.7 million and participating financial institutions grew from four (Interbank, BBVA, Scotiabank and Banbif) to seven, incorporating Caja Arequipa, Caja Piura and Caja Sullana. As of December 2021, Interbank’s share of Plin enrolled users was of 43%, up from 40% in December 2020.
Furthermore, digital customer acquisition, or clients that were ‘born digital’, reached approximately 29,300 in December 2021, or 38% of new individual clients, compared to approximately 41,600 in December 2020, 47% of new individual clients. Similarly, we are continuously improving our digital capabilities for SME and corporate clients, enhancing our value-added proposition and tools to foster our commercial customers’ growth despite the disruptions caused by the
COVID-19
pandemic. For example, we have streamlined our account opening process for businesses (“Cuenta Negocios”) from 15 days to a digital10-minute
process, which allowed us to 100% digitally assist our SME customers that required an account to apply for government facilities. This innovation has driven growth in customer acquisition for small companies through our digital platform, accounting for 95% of our total new small business accounts in December 2021 compared to 54% in December 2020. In 2021, we developed a similar process for larger companies. Today, even customers in our corporate segment can open an account 100% digitally.Supported by our digital platform, we have also increased the number of products held by a digital customer. The number of products held by our digital customers has increased 25% from December 2020 to December 2021. As a result of the growth in digital customers, the cross-selling ratio for such clients increased from 1.90 products per digital customer in December 2020 to 1.98 products per digital customer in December 2021. The cross-selling ratio is calculated as the sum of the number of products held by any given group of customers divided by the number of customers in such group. Similarly, the number of products held by our total customers increased by 21%, however, given the growth in our total customer base, this resulted in a higher cross-selling ratio for total customers, which increased from 1.65 products per customer in December 2020 to 1.69 products per customer in December 2021. As part of our digital transformation, we have introduced new technologies and processes which enable us to improveof new solutions. We have also made significant changes in the way we work. We are currently working with 93 teams using an agile framework on a number of projects, ranging from applications, digital products, new functionalities, and we are currently exploring different solutions targeting new customer segments and piloting new initiatives. For example, we have an innovation lab called “LaBentana”, which focuses on continuous innovation and development of new ideas and pilot initiatives, using design thinking methodologies developed together with the consulting firm IDEO.

In 2021, Interbank accelerated the growth of Tunki, our mobile application targeting unbanked and underbanked consumers and micro-merchants focused on P2P and P2MB transactions. Tunki is a free application that allows users to create a 100% digital mobile wallet to send and receive payments (P2P and P2MB) and that does not require them to previously have an account with Interbank. In 2021, Tunki’s functionality was expanded to enable users to send and receive payments to and/or from the Plin network which enhanced its offering, giving it access to a user base of approximately six million Plin users across seven financial institutions. As of December 31, 2021, the number of Tunki users was 1.6 million compared to 0.8 million as of December 31, 2020.
Convenient and innovative nationwide omni-channel distribution network with a distinctive customer-oriented approach
We believe that our convenient and innovative nationwide retail distribution network together with a dedicated sales force and financial advisors, allow us to better reach our customers, and this combination has differentiated us from our competitors. Interbank has one of the most convenient and extensive retail banking distribution networks in Peru and is currently present in almost all of Peru’s regions. Our focus on digital transformation allows us to help our customers to interact with us in an easier and more efficient way and allows customers to migrate from the use of physical infrastructure to digital platforms. For instance, we have shifted monetary transactions operated through our branches to digital channels. Total monetary transactions have been increasing at a CAGR of 20% from 2017 to 2021 driven by monetary transactions through our mobile and internet banking which have increased at a 77% CAGR for the corresponding period, even though monetary transactions through our financial stores have been decreasing at a CAGR of 18% from 2017 to 2021. We believe this optimization of our distribution footprint has enabled us to reach our clients more efficiently, allowing them to perform transactions when and how they want to, at lower marginal costs for Interbank.
Interbank has built a convenient omni-channel distribution network in Peru, serving over 4.7 million customers. As of December 31, 2021, Interbank had 189 financial stores and operated the third-largest ATM network in Peru with 1,581 ATMs, which includes one of the largestATM network (under our Global Net brand). Interbank has the largest number of financial stores inside supermarkets in Peru. Moreover, with the intention of providing underserved customers with more convenient services, Interbank operates a network of correspondent agents, called Interbank Agentes. The correspondent agent concept consists of providing third-party commercial establishments with
out-of-branch
low-cost
electronic terminals which allow Interbank’s customers to perform basic cash-based operations such as cash withdrawals, credit card and bill payments, and deposits at a lower marginal cost to Interbank relative to transactions performed in our financial stores. As of December 31, 2021, Interbank had 6,027 correspondent agents (includes external network).Since 2013 and in line with our strategy, we have implemented a profitability model for financial stores and ATMs which ranks them according to certain profitability metrics relevant to each distribution channel. This has allowed us to identify the less profitable units in order to close them and to prioritize new openings in more strategic locations with higher demand for value-added financial services. As a result, the number of financial stores, which peaked at 290 in 2016, has decreased by 35% to 189 as of December 31, 2021, while productivity of financial stores, measured as the volume of retail deposits sold per branch, has increased. This drove retail deposits per branch to grow from approximately S/40.5 million per branch as of December 2016 to approximately S/121.2 million per branch as of December 2021. Likewise, Interbank’s market share in retail deposits under SBS GAAP grew from 12.8% as of December 31, 2016 to 15.0% as of December 31, 2021. Additionally, the number of ATMs has increased to 1,581 in December 2021 from 2,159 in 2016. Furthermore, the number of Interbank and Interseguro sales agents has increased from 897 in 2016 to 1,077 in 2021, while call center agents decreased from 390 to 369 in the same period. Given the lockdown implemented by the Peruvian government in response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, the call center has become a more relevant channel to interact with our customers as well as to answer questions regarding assistance to help address the crisis. Likewise attending to queries via Whatsapp also became a common and efficient point of contact with our customers.Interseguro offers and sells its annuities and individual life insurance products through its own dedicated sales force to ensure the delivery of high-quality service and advice to customers. Interseguro’s specialized sales force is trained to provide a differentiated service for various customer types. As of December 31, 2021, Interseguro employed 120 agents exclusively dedicated to selling annuities and 370 agents to selling life insurance products. Due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, Interseguro retooled its sales force to provide customers with a 100% remote assistance and digital operation. Prior to the pandemic, sales in annuities and life insurance products were only conductedin-person,
but digitalization of these sales was accelerated.50
In addition to its own sales force, Interseguro leverages on the retail distribution capabilities of Interbank and those of Intercorp and of Intercorp Retail to offer simple
low-cost
premium insurance products, such as credit life insurance, SOAT, card protection, loan protection, extended warranty and accident insurance.Inteligo has developed a proprietary financial advisory model that has been a key pillar in sustaining its growth. The model takes into account the financial objectives of its customers and emphasizes risk analysis and continuous monitoring with portfolio rebalancing. Along with this, Inteligo has been able to successfully serve its customer base in order to deliver tailored products and advice.
Prudent risk management resulting in high asset quality, strong liquidity and high investment returns
Risk management has been and will continue to be a primary focus of our operations and at the center of our culture. Our experienced risk management teams focus on monitoring and managing risks across all business areas, including credit, market, liquidity and operational risks, among others. We believe our risk management expertise has allowed us to achieve strong asset quality and high investment returns. Our prudent management has allowed us to build up sufficient capital to allow us to grow strategically, invest in opportunities and pay dividends to our shareholders.
Interbank’s underwriting procedures are based on strong analytics and proprietary models. Additionally, Interbank’s investments in technology and improvements in its ability to process and apply data have enriched our risk models and enhanced their accuracy and predictiveness. Interbank’s credit risk policies are approved by its risk committee and board of directors. Despite Interbank’s concentration in retail loans, which tend to have higher levels of delinquency, Interbank’s
past-due
loans as a percentage of total gross loans ratio as of December 31, 2021 was 3.6%, lower than the 3.8% average of the three largest banks in Peru. As of December 31, 2021, Interbank’spast-due
loans coverage ratio was 132.8%, as compared to the average for the Peruvian banking system of 155.5%, according to the SBS. In general, coverage ratios for Peruvian banks decreased during 2021 due to the reversal of provisions as improved payment behavior was observed across retail loans.Interbank’s capitalization ratio, which is calculated as Interbank’s regulatory capital divided by its risk-weighted assets, was the highest compared to the other three largest banks. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, Interbank’s capitalization ratio stood at 15.9% as compared to 14.9% for the Peruvian banking system, according to the SBS. The minimum capitalization ratio required by Peruvian banking regulations is 8.0% plus an additional capital requirement which depends on certain levels of loan concentration in each institution. For Interbank, this additional capital requirement amounts to 1.0% as of December 31, 2021. Interbank’s core equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.5% as of December 31, 2021. In addition, in June 2021, the SBS issued Official Document No. 27358-2021 which revises Emergency Decree
No. 037-2021,
and reduced the minimum regulatory capital ratio requirement from 10% to 8% from April 2021 to March 2022.Interseguro’s investment team and its investment management approach have achieved a 7.5% investment return for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to the Peruvian insurance industry’s 6.5%, according to the SBS, while maintaining prudent levels of risk and following the SBS risk guidelines. The
COVID-19
pandemic led to a general decline in the global economy and financial markets. Accordingly, Interseguro’s investment strategy was focused on identifying and reducing potential risks in the portfolio and looking for assets of solid companies with strong credit metrics.Inteligo’s lending services are offered through Inteligo Bank to complement its wealth management business. The decision to make loans to wealth management customers only results in Inteligo’s loan portfolio being fully collateralized by its customers’ assets. Regarding the management of capital, Inteligo Bank’s capitalization ratio, which is calculated as Inteligo Bank’s regulatory capital divided by its risk-weighted assets, was 24.4% as of December 31, 2021, above the minimum capitalization ratio required by the Central Bank of Bahamas of 8.0%.
Diversified funding base with strength in retail deposits
IFS has a competitive funding structure. We have access to diverse sources of funding, including deposits and debt securities placed in local and international capital markets. The majority of our funding comes from low cost customer deposits, which demonstrate our customers’ trust in our franchise and enables us to achieve attractive lending spreads. At Interbank, as of December 31, 2021, 75% of its total funding base was comprised of deposits. Interbank’s deposit base is broad and fragmented, such that it is not dependent on a certain type of customer, which provided Interbank with an average cost of funding of 1.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Interbank has been a significant player in the Peruvian banking industry with a market share of demand, savings, and term deposits of 9.6%, 17.2%, and 13.0%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021, according to SBS. Moreover, our strategic focus on retail has allowed Interbank to gain market share in retail deposits over the years reaching 15.0% as of December 31, 2021 as compared to 12.8% as of December 31, 2016, providing us with a healthy funding base.
Given our competitive advantage in the retail segment, over the last two years, increased growth in deposits was attributable to an increase in our clients’ liquidity as the result of (i) partial cash withdrawals from CTS accounts systemwide and the private pension system, (ii) commercial deposits related to unused funds from the Reactiva Peru program, and (iii) the widespread adoption of a “savings” mindset, all as a result of the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic.Interbank’s strong asset quality and capital and liquidity position have resulted in two of the highest local ratings levels possible, which have allowed it to secure local funding through local short-term and long-term debt market issuances.
Experienced management team with proven ability to foster a merit-based culture and a highly motivated work force
We believe that the strength of our senior and middle management team has enhanced and will continue to be a key driver of our successful business model. We benefit from an experienced, diverse and talented management team. Most of the members of our senior management have held management positions with other major financial institutions in the United States, Latin America and Europe.
We are focused on attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified personnel and believe that a merit-based culture that emphasizes teamwork enables us to maintain a motivated workforce that delivers high-quality service. Interbank is the only Peruvian company that has been chosen by the Peruvian Great Place to Work Institute as one of the 20 best places to work in Peru for the past 20 consecutive years and one of the top 20 places to work in Latin America in the past nine years. In the most recently available rankings, Interbank was selected number one best company to work for in Peru in the large size category (2022), number one in Latin America (2021), number eleven for women in Peru (2021), number one for work from home in Peru (2021), number seven for diversity and inclusion in Peru in 2021, and number two for millennials in Peru (2021). Similarly, Interseguro was selected as the fifth best company to work for Peru in the
medium-size
category (2022) and is the only Peruvian insurance company that has been chosen as one of the top 10 best places to work in Peru(medium-size
category) by the Peruvian Great Place to Work Institute. In 2020, Inteligo SAB was ranked among the top 15 companies in its category (companies with 30 to 250 employees) in Peru between 2011 and 2019. Furthermore, it ranked second in 2019. In 2022, Inteligo’s three subsidiaries located in Peru (Inteligo SAB, Inteligo Peru Holdings and Interfondos) participated together under the name “Inteligo Group Peru” and Inteligo Group Peru was selected as the third best company to work for in Peru in themedium-size
category. Inteligo Bank’s branch in Panama began participating in the Great Place to Work Institute survey in 2014 and since 2015 has been ranked among the top 10 companies in its category (companies with 30 to 250 employees) in Panama.Developing strategic alliances to challenge us continuously to offer high quality digital services to our customers
In September 2020, Interbank announced a strategic alliance with Rappi, a leading super app in Peru and in Latin America, to deliver 100% digital products in Peru under the RappiBank brand, exclusively available through the Rappi App. Under this alliance, we leverage Rappi’s exponential growth, high level of customer engagement and digital and analytical capabilities, together with Interbank’s solid risk management and financial services proven expertise to allow Peruvians to access financial products and services in an agile, contextual and 100% digital manner, while at the same time enabling us to interact with customers wherever they are and expand the scope of our business.
The alliance’s product offerings include a savings account with payments capabilities (bills, mobile(and only)
top-ups,
cardless ATM withdrawal, interbank in/out transfers, among others), and thefirst-to-market
PAN-less
and name-less debit and credit cards that are delivered as fast as within the hour in locations under Rappi coverage. As of December 2021, RappiBank had 209,000 customers.52
Increasingly integrated business platform with synergy potential supported by a strong parent group
Since the introduction of our insurance and wealth management operations alongside our banking operations, we have strived to share and leverage key resources and capabilities across all three segments, which has resulted in enhanced revenues.
Our banking operations remain our core competency that binds together all our operations, while our insurance and wealth management operations are expected to continue supporting our growth. We believe that our continuous efforts to better integrate our three segments, combined with our focus on digital transformation, our existing distribution channels, experience and knowledge of our customer base and the Peruvian market, is a significant competitive advantage.
Furthermore, our parent company, Intercorp Peru, is one of Peru’s largest economic conglomerates, with activities spanning financial services, retail, education and real estate, among others. In 2021 and 2020, Intercorp Peru’s businesses represented approximately 3.5% and 3.7% of Peru’s GDP, respectively, while generating U.S.$7,625 million and U.S.$7,209 million in revenue, respectively. We believe that being part of this group gives us a competitive edge, because of the group’s deep knowledge of the Peruvian consumer, extensive focus and
know-how
in the Peruvian retail market, highly visiblein-country
presence and rapid decision-making capabilities. Intercorp provides significant synergy and cross-selling opportunities for IFS. For example, starting in 2018, we, jointly with Intercorp Peru, launched an effort to strengthen our presence and commercial efforts in seven of Peru’s main regions: Arequipa, Cusco, Trujillo, Chiclayo, Ica, Huancayo and Piura, by leveraging on Intercorp’s already established network.Analytical excellence as a tool to become the company with the deepest knowledge of Peruvians
Our advanced analytics capabilities are being enriched with new data sources and technology tools, such as cloud, real-time decision, machine learning, artificial intelligence and big data. We aim to have the deepest understanding of Peruvians, both individuals and companies, as we believe that a deep knowledge of our current and potential customers’ characteristics and adapting to their behavior is important to better serve them, and to offer them the best solutions according to their needs and risk profile.
Investments in technology represent the pillar of this strategic initiative, and we are working in a variety of areas to achieve this goal, including data and infrastructure, advanced marketing analytics, and risk profiling and pricing models, as well as improving our customer management system (“CRM”) capabilities, including contextual marketing. With the support of our team of data scientists, we centrally design and distribute most of our sales campaigns, have substantially improved our campaign effectiveness and are currently employing real-time decision making on certain campaigns. This combination of investments has helped make us more dynamic and able to approach customers in real time, by offeringinformation and agile and transparent processes that generate trust in us. Additionally, we have bolstered our investments in cybersecurity as we believe it is fundamental to provide a secure platform to be able to continue with our digital transformation.
easy-to-understand
These efforts also include different actions undertaken to have a better understanding of the self-employed segment of the population, which constitute a significant opportunity for financial services given the current low penetration levels. We are working on alternative risk profile models for new customer acquisition using new sources and
non-traditional
sources of data.Our analytics vision is to have a fully deployed online CRM which relies on real-time data, cloud processing, automated and reusable variables, real-time decision and actions, and an integrated infrastructure to support these new processes.
Retain top talent with a unique culture, fostering a strong sense of achievement
We believe that a motivated workforce leads to high-quality customer service, which leads to satisfied customers and better results. Our commitment to fostering a motivated workforce and performance-based culture is demonstrated by being ranked among the top Peruvian and Latin American companies in all our core segments by the Great Place to Work Institute and recently also in the specific rankings for women and millennials.
53
In past years, we have been focusing on changing the way we work to agile methodologies, developing digital and analytical capabilities and changing the mindset of our people to align with these objectives. Furthermore, we are attracting and retaining talent, focusing on diversity, inclusion, innovation and our values.
For this purpose, we have introduced a series of initiatives such as Demo Days, Expo Analytics, Interbank Hackathon, Innovaton, Interbank Datathon, as well as Innovation Day at the Intercorp Peru level. We have also created training programs including the Agile Academy, Tribk, and the Interbank Tek program.
Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo will continue their efforts to attract, develop and retain highly qualified personnel and to maintain a performance-based culture that emphasizes teamwork to keep employees motivated and deliver high-quality service and strong results. In this context, the
COVID-19
pandemic has given us the opportunity to attract talented people from all around the world because we do not require them to be physically located in Peru.Strategy
Our purpose is to empower all Peruvians to achieve financial well-being. By doing so, we believe that we can help our clients to access the same opportunities to build and assure their futures. As a result, we have built a
“two-tier”
digital strategy, focused on (i) fully digitalizing our operations, including our product offerings and services and (ii) finding new sources of growth through our digital solutions and payment ecosystem, open banking alliances, and RappiBank.Our strategy is focused on four main pillars:
• | Building on our strengths through simple and innovative solutions, a simplified experience and optimizing physical channels; |
• | Connecting with our customers by implementing an active listening approach and promoting high levels of engagement to them; |
• | Collaborating to grow through different alliances to be available when and where our customers need us to be; and |
• | Consolidating our capabilities such as advanced analytics, technology, best talent and our commitment to ESG. |
In this sense, the combination of our purpose, our
“two-tier”
digital strategy and our capabilities allow us to focus on five main areas to be accomplished in the following years:Reach more people and businesses while promoting financial inclusion and bankarization
We seek to accelerate the growth of our customer base by creating innovative and distinctive tools that allow people, micro merchants and all types of business to access financial solutions in an accessible and efficient way. To do so, we have launched certain key initiatives, including in relation to finding new sources of growth, such as our 100% digital accounts, open banking, and strategic alliances, such as our partnership with Rappibank. These initiatives, together with our proactive engagement approach, are allowing us to increase our product offerings and to improve our risk management by developing new credit scoring tools for such clients, allowing us to address more precisely the real risk associated with their payment abilities. We believe these initiatives and tools will enable us to target new segments and offer our customers the necessary tools to better control their finances.
Our risk capabilities are a differentiating factor that allow us to continue interacting with our customers, acquiring new customers, all in a contextual and personalized manner, while also endeavoring to manage an appropriate risk-profitability balance.
Fulfill customer needs digitally
We want to deliver a seamless and superior experience for our customers, while becoming more relevant to them. We believe this combination will allow us to more effectively serve our customers, enabling them to get what they want, when they want it, and how they want it. Additionally, we believe that the key to ensure that our customers will have the best experience when interacting with us is to create unique experiences throughout their customer journey, meaning the acquisition, onboarding, development, loyalty and retention stages. Finally, we target two main attributes that our customers value in us: (i) total control to grow and develop their finances and (ii) a simple and customer-centric banking experience.
54
At Interbank, we have developed the capabilities to digitally serve 93.1% of totaltransactions as of December 31, 2021. The percentage of transactions performed off branches has continued to increase, reaching 99.2% as of December 31, 2021. Digital sales and other self-service interactions have increased during the last 12 months reaching 65.5% in December 2021 from 60.1% in December 2020, respectively.
day-to-day
Through our physical channels, we continue to focus on providing a superior customer experience and are improving productivity and efficiency through digital processes, tools and more advanced analytics. Additionally, we continue to invest in educating our customers to encourage the use of digital and other channels. Deposits, withdrawals, bills and credit cards payments are being redirected to other more convenient and cost-efficient channels. In digital, we are focusing our efforts on expanding the products and self-service interactions, continuing to foster the adoption of digital channels by our customers, adding new features, such as chatbots for employees and customers, and ensuring that interactions with our customers are safe and secure.
At Interseguro, we are expanding our product offering through our digital platform, which started with the launch of the online sale of SOAT in 2016 and continued with the sale of new digital products such as travel insurance, car insurance and individual life insurance. In 2021, premiums for retail and individual life insurance products sold through digital channels grew 52.7% compared to in 2020. In addition, due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, Interseguro accelerated the digitalization of its sales of annuities and life insurance products.At Inteligo, as mentioned previously, in 2021, Inteligo Bank launched digital offerings serving its high net worth clients, and we continue our efforts to prepare the grounds for growth in this space in the next few years.
To achieve all of the above, a scalable, flexible, trustworthy, stable and secure technological platform is essential. We believe that we have deployed the key initial investments necessary to scale our platform and are committed to continue improving by maintaining and updating our current levels of investment in technology. Our IT strategy is focused on dedicating more resources to projects that add value for the customer. In this context, Interbank continuously invests in core applications with the aim of keeping themwhile additional effort and resources are invested in the digitalization and transformation of processes and channels in order to provide a 100% digital experience to internal and external customers. Our ongoing focus is based on four main areas of work: (i) development of a new digital platform based on open technologies and application programming interfaces (“APIs”), (ii) focus on the high performance and stability of our technological platforms, including cloud services, (iii) new processes for continuous delivery of new developments, and (iv) focus on cybersecurity. Although there have been no material security breaches to date, we are highly vigilant and we have created a policy that provides general security guidelines that employees and suppliers must comply with to mitigate cyber-security risks. General-purpose technologies have also been implemented to mitigate the materialization of cyber-security risks and these controls are constantly evolving and aligning with industry trends.
up-to-date
Moreover, we have moved from working with 17 agile teams in 2017 to 93 agile teams in 2021, allowing us to substantially decreaseand to develop more innovative ideas.
time-to-market
Become the preferred payment solution for Peruvians, both in the retail and commercial segments
We strive to provide solutions to address the payment needs of people and companies by creating a payment ecosystem that seeks to build a strong bond with our customers, focusing on five pillars: (i) increasing current person to business (“P2B”) offline purchases by extending merchant coverage, improving customer experience and banking the unbanked, (ii) increasing current P2B online purchases by optimizing adoption and fostering usage, (iii) improving the convenience of P2P payments for customers by developing a better experience, (iv) eliminating cash by banking unbanked accounts, through
pre-paid
cards and through our open APIs that allow partners to access our account opening and basic financial-transaction services, and (v) creating new consumer finance product offerings based on the information provided by people using our payment initiatives.We believe that solidifying leadership through our payment ecosystem will enable us to foster customer loyalty and to fulfil their financial needs digitally, leveraged on Interbank’s payment model. In this context, we believe Tunki, Plin and Shopstar are key strategic allies.
55
Tunki is our digital wallet and is mainly focused on the unbanked population and built based on a 100% digital experience from onboarding to the customer care experience. As the user base is constantly growing, in numbers and in activity, we plan to strength our value proposition with new financial products to become an “entry-level” bank to unbanked people.
In 2020, Interbank became the only private bank to offer a 100% digital solution to distribute the monetary transfers offered by the Peruvian government to the people most affected by the
COVID-19
crisis. In such year, we implemented a biometric authentication system in order to allow users (including both clients andnon-clients)
to enroll in Tunki and receive the government’s financial aid offered in the context of theCOVID-19
pandemic. As a result, Tunki users grew more than three times between March 2020 and December 2020, from around 162,000 to 762,000. As of December 31, 2021, Tunki users reached 1,626,000 users. We expect that such an offering of a 100% digital and simple payment experience, strengthened with new functionalities and financial products, will lead to an increase in the number of users and as such, our ability to monetize on this trend.Moreover, Plin is a P2P and QR code payment solution which interacts with multiple financial institutions and serves as a bridge between the banked and the unbanked through cell phone numbers. Interbank is currently one of six financial institutions that are Plin’s partners. As of December 31, 2021, Plin reached 5,722,000 users.
Finally, Shopstar is an online marketplace offering housewares, electronics, toys, and many other goods, through which we aim to become the preferred
e-commerce
option for IFS customers and utilize as a sandbox to test some of our initiatives such as Dividelo (Interbank’s buy now, pay later solution) and Interbank Benefit (Interbank’s reward program). As of December 31, 2021, Shopstar reached 68,000 users.We believe these digital initiatives allowed us to access new information and new monetization opportunities that will be reflected in our market share in consumer loans,
e-commerce
and POS processing, and merchant financing penetration. To the extent we are able to leverage these opportunities, we believe Interbank’s strategic relevance in the consumer financing landscape will be enhanced, supported by our risk management capabilities. As of December 31, 2021, our market share in consumer loans was 22.6%, which positions us as the second largest provider of these loans among banks in Peru.To provide an extraordinary customer experience through active-listening and individualized and consumer-centric interactions
We aim to become the preferred option for our individual and commercial customers and to help them achieve financial well-being and growth by understanding and anticipating their needs, as well as by offering financial solutions that can be deployed at every contact point, including in person, digitally, and in real time. We believe that maintaining a trustworthy and transparent relationship with our customers, together with the superior, simple, mobile, agile and personalized experience that we offer, brings us closer to this goal. Our highly recognized and trusted brands in each of our segments (Interbank in banking, Interseguro in insurance and Inteligo in wealth management) are a testament to our focus on this objective. Our subsidiaries are leaders in their respective industries and, by focusing on our strengths, values and solid relationships, we plan to continue evolving and growing.
For that purpose, we actively engage with our customers to better understand their needs. We are also able to integrate such proactive engagement approach in different kind of interactions, such as virtual ones, interacting with customers in person, on the phone, or through written communication.
IFS’s three subsidiaries are working on continuing to develop customers’ journeys to provide customers with the best experience possible. The customer journey begins with new client acquisition and
on-boarding,
continues with customer development to earn loyalty, and finally, is maintained through ourwin-back
efforts. We have been implementing various initiatives to improve the customer relationship cycle.In the case of Interbank, we are continuously improving our value proposition for different customer segments including improvements to basic products such as accounts, payments and financing. We have developed several digital features and products to serve different customer needs, such as: the loyalty program Interbank Benefit, the digital wallet Tunki, the budget tool, the digital savings account Piggybank, and RappiBank, Peru’s first neobank. In order to ensure we deliver customer-oriented products, we use design thinking, which we have learned through several partnerships with IDEO.

Within commercial banking, our priority is growth with a strong focus on profitability. We aim to provide the best self-service and automated credit experience for commercial clients by offering them with a 100% digital journey focused on cash management solutions, sales financing, sustainable loans, and easy and transparent ways of managing payments, such asand.
Cobro Simple
Cuenta Sueldo
Regarding our cash management platform has three types of client groups based on sales volume, which allows us to employ different strategies accordingly. For large corporations, we focus our efforts on generation of fees from cash management and corporate finance; for
medium-sized
companies we focus on growth, productivity and cash management; and for small companies we focus on sustainable growth and productivity with strong support from analytics and collection. For small businesses, since its introduction in August 2018, our Cuenta Negocios, an account that can be opened 100% digitally and within 10 minutes, has grown to 183,371 accounts as of December 31, 2021. Moreover, we are testing an application which provides an alternative method of financing based on digital tools and information.Between 2018 and 2021, Interbank’s data and analytics approach was focused on developing capabilities based on creating new models and contextual enablers. However, this approach has evolved and is now targeting the development of
“AI-First”
experiences, working under agile teams and following three pillars:• | Personalization |
• | Real-Time |
• | Optimization |
Moreover, at Interseguro our customer journey is focused on anexperience, from the issuance of a policy to the after-sale services we offer to clients. In this context, our digital offering is gaining relevance. As an example, digital SOAT policies reached 81.3% of total SOAT sales in the month of December 2021, compared to 80.6% in the month of December 2020. Moreover, our after-sale offerings are expected to become a virtual self-service experience, with the aim of ensuring customers have a simple and positive interaction with us.
end-to-end
Finally, Inteligo’s approach is focused on its value proposition, offering digital onboarding and products and services by segment, with a
360-degree
view of its customers. Inteligo’s brand focuses on offshore wealth management services and has launched a digital platform that allowson-boarding,
financial planning, and advisory and execution services to be part of our digital customer journey. As an example, during 2021, Inteligo Bank developed new digital offerings for its clients, which combine with the existing services provided by their relationship officer under a “phygital” model.Create value for our stakeholders in an efficient and sustainable manner
We seek to create value for our stakeholders by increasing our market share, improving our efficiency, and delivering profitable results across our business segments.
We will continue to focus on our digital transformation to enhance efficiency through the automation of internal processes and use of technology. Our goal is to be more efficient while utilizing fewer resources in our customer interactions by focusing our efforts on: (i) simplifying our structures, (ii) implementing more independent robot usage which includes artificial intelligence features, and (iii) digitalizingcustomer processes.
end-to-end
Between 2018 and 2021, we focused on reducing paper-based processes, mainly targeting intensive back-office processes and branch processes. During such period, we implemented 290 robotic processes with the aim of improving customer and operational processing times (in particular for low value-added processes) and reducing operational errors.
As a result of the adverse economic effects of theprocesses, and the simplification of our systems. We plan to continue to pursue such initiatives which are bolstered by new digital features.
COVID-19
pandemic, key targets for us in 2020 and 2021 were to execute efficient and successful cost control measures to offset such effects on our business. In this context, we have improved our efficiency ratio from 36.9% in 2017 to 34.7% in 2021, with initiatives such as branch rationalization, the development and implementation ofend-to-end
57
Moreover, we are adopting stronger and more widespread ESG practices to drive value creation not only for shareholders, but for all stakeholders over the long term. Our ESG initiatives are focused on three main objectives:
• | Promote inclusion and “bankarization” through our digital tools and micro-lending and contextual payment solutions; |
• | Focus on environment and sustainable finance promoting ESG financing and evaluating the potential issuances of sustainable bonds; and, |
• | Promote a culture of sustainability through frequent trainings across the whole organization that seek to raise awareness of the relevance of a sustainable approach in the business world |
In this sense, IFS participated in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the first time in 2021, reaching a score above the industry’s average.

MeasuresInterbank responded to the
COVID-19
pandemic in 2020 and 2021 in accordance with its business continuity plan, taking actions across the various levels in the organization, including its operations, distribution channels and personnel.58
In addition to these measures, Interbank enacted policies to provide flexibility to clients. For example, clients were able to request the rescheduling of their debts and postponement of their obligations under different schemes, some of which did not require payment of any additional interest or fees. As of December 31, 2021, 262,000 clients still had their loans rescheduled, of which approximately 252,000 were retail clients and approximately 10,000 were commercial clients. As of December 31, 2021, rescheduled loans represented S/6.3 billion or 14.6% of Interbank’s total portfolio, of which, S/4.5 billion were retail loans 21.3% of Interbank’s total retail loans), and the remaining S/1.8 billion were commercial loans 8.0% of Interbank’s total commercial loans). In comparison, as of December 31, 2020, 400,000 clients had their loans rescheduled, of which 385,000 were retail clients and approximately 14,000 were commercial clients. As of December 31, 2020, loans that were subject to some kind of rescheduling represented S/10.5 billion or 25.2% of Interbank’s total loan portfolio, of which, S/7.5 billion were retail loans (39.1% of Interbank’s total retail loans), and the remaining S/3.0 billion were commercial loans (13.2% of Interbank’s total commercial loans).
Interbank also participated in the Reactiva Peru Program, which was designed to ensure the continuity of payments to lenders and stabilize the economy by allowing Peruvian banks to originate low interest-rate, Central Bank-funded, commercial loans, guaranteed between 80% and 98% by the Peruvian government. These loans have tenors of up to 36 months and grace periods of up to 12 months. In March 2021, the Peruvian government approved an initiative to provide further relief for loans disbursed under the Reactiva Peru program, by providing for a rescheduling process for such loans, including a new grace period of up to 12 months. The rescheduling program initially covered up to S/16 billion (27% of the initial program) in loans disbursed and companies had until July 15, 2021 to request the rescheduling of their outstanding loans under certain conditions, which was assessed by the respective financial institutions according to the size of the company and of the loan that was initially granted. Moreover, in order to establish measures to continue promoting the financing of SMEs affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic, the Peruvian government extended the deadline to request the rescheduling of Reactiva Peru loans until December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, outstanding loans disbursed by Interbank under the program amounted to S/4.9 billion, a reduction of 26% compared to the previous year. As of the same date, the balance of rescheduled Reactiva Peru loans was 40% of the total Reactiva Peru loan portfolio.Finally, Interbank took steps to protect its solvency and liquidity positions, including remaining active in the Central Bank’s daily operations and using and renewing external lines of credit with correspondent banks abroad. Interbank also reduced its 2019 earnings payout ratio from 45% to 25% and agreed to fully capitalize first quarter earnings for 2020. In addition, in early July 2020, Interbank issued a U.S.$300 million subordinated bond due in 2030 with a call option in 2025. These steps were intended to strengthen Interbank’s capital ratios and support Interbank in weathering market volatility.
Furthermore, at the start of the
COVID-19
pandemic, the Peruvian government and institutions such as the Central Reserve Bank of Peru responded quickly to the crisis and implemented expansionary fiscal and monetary measures immediately, aiming to provide liquidity, including, among others:• | Two 100-basis point cuts in the reference rate, from 2.25% to 1.25%, and from 1.25% to 0.25%; |
• | Several liquidity injections into the economy; |
• | Reductions in reserve requirements, both in soles |
• | Repo auctions and FX swaps; |
• | Cash transfers ordered by the MEF to over 3.8 million low-income families and over 700 thousandnon-salaried workers; |
• | Allowance of withdrawals of up to S/2,400 from compensation for service time accounts; |
• | Allowance of withdrawals of S/2,000 of workers’ private pension funds, only if not registered in a payroll during the last six months; |
• | Suspension of employee contributions to private pension funds in April 2020; |
• | Schemes for rescheduling loans for up to six months, depending on the type of loan; |
59
• | Implementation of the Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a las MYPE, a S/800 million fund to support SMEs, in addition to approximately S/1,100 million available from the Fondo Crecer, another fund with a similar purpose; |
• | Postponement of income tax payments by companies and households; |
• | Subsidies of 35% of companies’ payrolls (for employees with salaries up to S/1,500); and |
• | Launch of the Reactiva Peru program and related loan rescheduling schemes. |
In August 2021, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru started tightening its monetary policy, similar to other monetary authorities around the world. As of December 31, 2021, the reference interest rate was 2.50%.
Business Lines
Interbank has three business lines: (1) retail banking, (2) commercial banking and (3) treasury and institutional.
Retail Banking
Interbank’s retail banking business line provides a variety of financial products and services to individuals including retail loans and retail deposits. Interbank’s retail banking strategy consists of providing the best customer experience through convenient, agile and friendly service. Interbank’s key objectives include increasing its market share in its core products through acquiring new clients, increasing its share of wallet and cross-selling products to its existing customers. Interbank seeks to meet the financial service needs of Peru’s growing middle class. Interbank believes the retail banking sector presents significant opportunities to continue to grow and sustain high margins, while taking on reasonable risk.
As of December 31, 2021, retail loans represented 49.1% of Interbank’s total loan portfolio outstanding as compared to 31.9% for the Peruvian banking system under SBS GAAP. Furthermore, Interbank’s strategy also seeks to continue capturing
low-cost
funding through a stable and diversified deposit base. The following charts show Interbank’s and the Peruvian banking system’s retail gross loans breakdown according to the SBS as of December 31, 2021.Source: SBS.

Retail Loans
Retail loans consist of consumer and mortgage loans. Interbank classifies its consumer loans into three categories: (1) credit cards and (2) payroll deduction and (3) personal loans.
Consumer Loans
(1) Credit cards
In November 2019, the SBS issued Resolution No. 5570-2019 which became effective in January 2021. This resolution establishes that the
non-revolving
financing portion of credit card loans must be presented for regulatory considerations as loans instead of credit card loans. Under SBS GAAP figures, this resulted in a significant reduction to Interbank’s credit card loan balances, market share and a change in its retail loans portfolio mix.(2) Payroll deduction loans
The risk of default under payroll deduction loans is low, because the employer deducts the loan payments from the employee’s salary and makes payments directly to Interbank. Additionally, these payroll deduction loans are legally required to be insured by an insurance company against the death and disability of the borrower. Interseguro provides substantially all of the insurance policies for these loans although customers are free to purchase insurance from other providers.
(3) Personal loans
Mortgage Loans
Interbank offers fixed rate mortgage loans with a typical term of 20 years and a typical down payment of 20% denominated in either U.S. dollars or.
soles
Interbank’s mortgage loans outstanding grew at a CAGR of 10.4% between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2021 compared to a CAGR of 8.0% for the Peruvian banking system in the same period. Between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, Interbank’s growth in mortgage loans outstanding was 10.5%, compared to 8.9% for the Peruvian banking system over the same period. For 2020, Interbank’s growth in mortgage loans outstanding was 7.4% with respect to 2019, as compared to 4.6% for the Peruvian banking system over the same period. For 2021, Interbank’s mortgage loan balances amounted to S/8,572.8 million, of which 90.9% were denominated inand the remaining 9.1% in U.S. dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Interbank’s mortgage loan balances amounted to S/7,754.8 million, of which 89.0% were denominated inand the remaining 11.0% in U.S. dollars.

Interbank also provides residential construction loans to real estate developers. Although these loans are reported within the commercial banking portfolio, they are managed together with retail banking mortgages because of the synergies between the businesses. Financing real estate projects provides Interbank with an opportunity to market mortgage loans to home buyers.
In 2001, the Peruvian government launched theprogram, a social initiative to promote the construction ofprogram provides direct funding to match each loan underwritten by banks, as well as credit risk coverage for

Financial Stores
As of December 31, 2021, Interbank had 189 financial stores in Peru. After peaking at 290 financial stores in 2016, the number of financial stores decreased mainly due to the success in transferring basic transactions from the stores to more efficient channels, the use of online banking and mobile applications, and process improvements. However, Interbank maintains the fourth largest network of financial stores among Peruvian banks, covering 23 of Peru’s 25 regions. A large number of the financial stores are located in convenient, high traffic areas, such as supermarkets and shopping malls, to maximize client coverage.
In May 2013, Interbank introduced “Imagine” financial stores, a concept jointly developed with IDEO, a design and innovation consulting firm. “Imagine” fosters a more pleasant and inviting environment to Interbank’s customers and is designed to educate customers on the use of electronic channels in order to migrate low value transactions to more efficient channels, while continuing to capture new customers and exploit cross-selling opportunities. Imagine has set new service standards in the industry and many of its elements have been adopted by Interbank’s main competitors.
In July 2020, Interbank introduced an evolution of the “Imagine” concept, “Xperience”. “Xperience” enables customer to perform digital transaction in stores and also reinforces the role of digital education. This concept was developed into two store models, “Express” and “Universal”. “Express” stores are located inside retailers and they are the first cashless stores, focused on education and new customer acquisition. “Universal” stores transform Interbank financial stores by creating a physical-digital area at the entrance of the store that is specifically dedicated to offer digital solutions to our customers and
non-customer.
These new stores have offered new and existing customers an assisted onboarding process onto its digital channels. In 2021, 43% of new digital users utilized the onboarding process offered at Interbank’s financial stores, which resulted in increased customer satisfaction level by 12pp compared to the traditional model and increased assisted digital sales to represent to 22% of sales per store.The following chart illustrates Interbank’s financial stores evolution according to the SBS.

ATMs
Interbank’s strategy is to offer its customers increased convenience and as of December 31, 2021, had the third largest ATM network in Peru with more than 1,500 ATMs located across Peru. Although this number represents a reduction from the 2,159 ATMs in 2016, the streamlining of the network has allowed Interbank to relocate ATMs to higher convenience locations as well as invest in renewing and upgrading its equipment, while monetary transactions kept growing year-over-year in this channel. The reduction of the network in 2019, responds to Interbank’s decision to discontinue the operation of 359 coin-dispensing ATMs, migrating those transactions to more efficient channels like regular ATMs or correspondent agents.
As of December 31, 2021, approximately 68% of Interbank’s ATMs are locatedin high foot traffic areas like shopping malls, supermarket and airports. These 1,072 ATMs make up one of the largestnetworks in Peru, as reported by ASBANC.

Insurance Segment
Overview
Interseguro is an insurance company that caters to Peru’s growing middle class. Interseguro is focused on annuities and life insurance, two of the fastest growing insurance market segments in Peru, which are driven by the sale of annuities mostly to individuals that reached retirement or became disabled or died and individuals seeking life protection with savings options. Interseguro has been the leader in the Peruvian annuities (excluding private annuities) segment since 2010, with market shares in terms of premiums of 32.0% and 27.3% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
For the four-year period ended December 31, 2021, Interseguro’s ROE averaged 24.6% compared to 12.6% for the Peruvian insurance industry. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Interseguro’s premiums (excluding disability and survivorship gross premiums) increased 71.9% as compared to 2020, according to the SBS, related to higher sales as a result of better annuities market conditions. During 2021, the survivorship annuities market grew 238.9% compared to 2020 due to the higher mortality rates from the
COVID-19
outbreak, which continued to increase during all of 2021 as a result of new waves and emergence of variants. This led to Interseguro achieving record annuities sales, with survivorship premiums going from S/117.1 million in 2020 to S/470.6 million in 2021, an increase of 302.0%. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Interseguro’s premiums (excluding disability and survivorship gross premiums) decreased 11.3% as compared to 2019, according to the SBS, related to lower sales as a result of theCOVID-19
pandemic.Interseguro intends to leverage its leading position in annuities, as well as Intercorp Peru’s and Interbank’s retail distribution capacity to continue capturing growth opportunities in the insurance industry. In addition, Interseguro expects to continue developing new products to satisfy increasing demand for insurance products by middle class families in Peru.
The growth of annuities is expected to accelerate as the number of Peruvian private pension system affiliates and the Peruvian salaries average increases. From 2010 to 2021, the growth of Peruvian private pension system affiliates was 77.8%, according to the SBS, and the annual average growth of Peruvian salaries from 2010 to 2020 was 2.7%, according to INEI. In Peru, employees may choose to accumulate their mandatory retirement contribution in the public or the private pension system. Under the mandatory private pension system, a retiree has the option of converting the capital accumulated in a personal account maintained with an AFP into an annuity offered by a life insurance company, such as Interseguro. In addition to retirement annuities, Interseguro also offers disability annuities to members of the Peruvian private pension system who have been declared permanently or partially disabled. Moreover, Interseguro offers survivorship annuities to beneficiaries of deceased members of the system. Once an annuity client chooses an insurance company, the decision is irrevocable. Besides private pension system annuities, Interseguro offers private annuities, a product that was launched in 2016 and that is sold to any owner of private funds and is not restricted to members of the system and their accumulated capital. This product is aimed at retirees that choose to withdraw the 95.5% of their pension funds and are looking for an option to capitalize such funds.
Interseguro also offers traditional life insurance products, as well as
low-cost
premium retail insurance products, including credit life, SOAT, credit card protection insurance, among others, mainly sold through Interbank and Intercorp Peru’s complementary channels, as well as digital channels. Interseguro’s life and retail insurance business lines have grown significantly over the last five years. As of December 31, 2021, Interseguro was the fifth largest consolidated insurance company and the third largest life insurance company in Peru in terms of premiums. In addition, in terms of the size of its portfolio, Interseguro was the largest insurance company in Peru as of December 31, 2021.70
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Interseguro’s net results were net profit of S/272.7 million (U.S.$68.4 million), net profit of S/141.1 million (U.S.$39.0 million) and net profit of S/130.4 million (U.S.$39.3 million), respectively. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Interseguro had shareholders’ equity of S/873.6 million (U.S.$219.1 million), S/935.3 million (U.S.$ 258.3 million) and S/973.9 million (U.S.$293.9 million), respectively. Interseguro’s ROE for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 28.2% while ROA was 1.8%. Interseguro’s ROE for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 18.9% and 14.2%, respectively, and ROA for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 1.0% and 1.0%, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interseguro’s net profit under SBS GAAP were S/303.6 million and S/256.6 million, respectively. The increase in Interseguro’s net profit under SBS GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily a result of a S/116.8 million increase in net gain on sale of financial investments. According to SBS, as of December 31, 2021, Interseguro had shareholders’ equity of S/1,486 million as compared to S/1,577 million for 2020. Interseguro’s ROE under SBS GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 19.9 %, as compared to 18.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020. According to the SBS, for the year ended December 31, 2021, Interseguro was the first most profitable insurance company by ROE, when compared to the five other largest insurance companies in Peru.
Interseguro acquired Seguros Sura in November 2017 and merged with Interseguro in March 2018. Prior to the acquisition, and according to the SBS, for the period ended December 31, 2016, Seguros Sura was the fourth largest company by assets and the third largest company in the annuities and individual life segment in Peru with a 17.4% market share and a 10.4% market share by premiums, respectively.
COVID-19
MeasuresInterseguro had a rapid and effective response to the
COVID-19
pandemic in 2020 and 2021, deploying response measures targeting its operations, financial profile and investments, and customers and employees.In the interest of safeguarding the integrity of the organization and health of its employees, at the outset, Interseguro implemented a home office scheme for all of its administrative staff, while suspending all activities of its sales force during the initial lockdown implemented by the Peruvian government in the spring of 2020 in response to the pandemic. Interseguro’s sales force was granted paid leave from
mid-March
tomid-May
of 2020. Currently, 100% of Interseguro’s operational sales force is working through remote assistance and digital channels. Interseguro’s customer service offices initially reopened with limited capacity during the pandemic but as of the date of this Annual Report on Form20-F,
most of the customer service force is also working 100% remotely. Interseguro’s digital channels are expected to take a leading role in the company’s recovery and adjustment to operations in theCOVID-19
era.Interseguro’s investment strategy during the pandemic was focused on identifying and reducing potential risks in its portfolio and looking for assets of solid companies with strong credit metrics. As a result of this strategy, the portfolio was rebalanced, which resulted in the sale of positions involving higher risk and the purchase of assets we believe have a safer risk-return profile. In addition, despite the negative impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic in 2020, the real estate portfolio performed well. Most contracts with tenants were renegotiated independently, resulting in arrangements designed to increase payment flexibility and reduce payment defaults. Interseguro also implemented cost control measures resulting in bothone-off
and ongoing savings to protect net income from potential impairments and increased claims as a result of the impact of higher mortality rates on our life insurance business.Finally, Interseguro is closely monitoring the collection of life insurance premiums and offering rescheduling of payments to life insurance policyholders, while advancing pension payments to annuity clients within the same month during which they were originally due, in order to ensure that the liquidity and security needs of its clients are met.

Annuities
An annuity is a type of insurance policy that, in exchange for an initial lump sum payment, provides regular monthly payments. Interseguro offers three types of annuities:, U.S. dollars andindexed to CPI, adjusted by 2% per year.
Soles
soles
There are two groups of annuities: (i) Regular Retirement Annuities are the annuities sold under the Peruvian private pension system, and (ii) Private Annuities which include theproduct. In Peru, employees may choose to deposit their cumulative contributions in the public or the private pension system. Under the private pension system, upon retirement, a retiree has the option of converting the capital accumulated into a personal account maintained with an AFP, collecting 95.5% of their accumulated capital or converting the capital into an annuity offered by an insurance company, such as Interseguro.
Renta Privada
In 2016, following the enactment of law No. 30,425, retirees are allowed to withdraw up to 95.5% of their accumulated capital in cash upon retirement. As a result, there was a significant reduction of annuities sold by Peruvian insurance companies, including Interseguro. In order to maintain the leadership in annuities, Interseguro launched Private Annuities. This product allows retirees to receive a fixed income either for life or temporarily. Interseguro was the first insurance company to introduce this type of product to the market in response to the new law. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
most of the clients of Private Annuities and their funds originate from retirees that choose to withdraw the 95.5% of their pension funds.In addition to Regular Retirement Annuities and Private Annuities, Interseguro also offers disability annuities to members of the Peruvian private pension system who have been declared permanently or partially disabled before reaching retirement age and thus unable to access a sufficient pension and survivorship annuities for beneficiaries of deceased members of the system.

The special early retirement annuity product represented 0.0% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 0.0% and 0.2% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Private Annuities.
20-F,
most of the clients and their funds come from retirees that chose to withdraw 95.5% of their accumulated capital. Private Annuities represented 32.9% of annuities sold by Interseguro for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 39.4% and 38.2% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.Disability and Survivorship Annuities
Disability and Survivorship
The SBS conducts a Dutch auction every two years inviting insurance companies to bid to determine which insurance company will be the provider for this insurance in a
two-year
period. Interseguro was successful in the 2015 auction, and as a result of the merger with Seguros Sura, they were also a provider for 2017. Interseguro participated in the auction for the 2021-2022 year but were not successful; they expect to bid again at the next auction. Although this will represent a decrease in gross premiums in the following years, Interseguro ceded almost 100% of disability and survivorship gross premiums; therefore, the effect on net profit is minimal.Disability and Survivorship Annuities
All retirement annuities sold under the Peruvian private pension system offer monthly payments for the life of the policyholder and thus the initial lump sum is never recovered. A retiree’s joint choice of an insurance company, currency denomination and retirement modality is irrevocable.
Product differentiation is limited in the Peruvian annuities sector, as product features are regulated by the SBS. The market position of each insurance company is driven instead by its sales strategy and quality of service. Interseguro’s sales strategy, consisting of providing ongoing sales force training, and implementing innovative control and management mechanisms, has permitted Interseguro to be the market leader in the annuities sector over the past four years, with an increasing advantage over the second largest market participant.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Interseguro’s market share by annuity premiums (including Private Annuities and excluding Previsional Insurance) was 27.6%, nearly 810 basis points higher than its next competitor’s market share.
Retail Insurance
Interseguro offers simple,
low-cost
premium products targeted to middle class families and sold mainly through Interbank financial stores, as well as channels owned by Intercorp Peru, including Intercorp Retail points of sale (Plaza Vea and Oechsle) and digital channels.

Interseguro offers the following retail insurance products:
Credit Life Insurance.
Debit and Credit Card Protection Insurance.
SOAT (Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito).

Extended Warranty.
Others.
Individual Life
Although the individual life insurance market remains relatively small in Peru, the market has grown at a CAGR of 14.5% between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the individual life insurance market increased 28.5% as compared to 2020, primarily due to an economic recovery following less restrictive government mandates by the end of 2020, as well as increased concerns relating to the second wave of
COVID-19
which resulted in increased purchases of life insurance. The recovery of the Peruvian economy and digitalization of the sales processes are expected to boost sales of individual life products.Interseguro offers a variety of individual life insurance products, providing a wide range of coverage for the length of a policyholder’s life. Most of Interseguro’s products also provide savings features.
Interseguro’s strategy in individual life insurance consists in adapting its products to the emerging Peruvian middle class, developing a highly trained sales force, achieving high standards of sales efficiency and leveraging digitalization to increase sales of life insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Interseguro positioned itself as the third largest participant in the individual life insurance market, with a 12.0% market share by premiums.

Sales Force
Interseguro markets its annuities and individual life insurance products through its own dedicated sales force both in Lima and across Peru’s provinces, without a third-party intermediary. Due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, Interseguro retooled its sales force to provide customers with a 100% remote assistance and digital operation. Prior to the pandemic, sales in annuities and life insurance products were only conductedin-person,
but digitalization of these sales was accelerated. In annuities, Interseguro employed 120 agents, 71 in Lima and 49 outside of Lima as of December 31, 2021. Each salesperson receives continuous training through a multiple-level program, which includes training in macroeconomic background, financial statement analysis, investment policy, marketing techniques and time management. In addition, Interseguro’s annuity sales agents specialize in the sale of different types of annuity products. As a result, Interseguro’s sales force is trained to satisfy each customer’s needs.
In life insurance, Interseguro employed 370 agents, 284 agents in Lima and 86 agents outside of Lima, as of December 31, 2021. In addition, Interseguro employs servicing agents with the aim of servicing existing life insurance policies. We believe that constant training develops effective sales techniques and the skills to assess customer needs, which we believe is one of Interseguro’s critical competitive advantages. Interseguro has a specialized team focused on setting a training curriculum for each salesperson in the first three years with the company as well as in assigning a mentor to each new recruit.
As of December 31, 2021, Interseguro works with six brokers nationwide to offer SOAT. Interseguro also works with insurance brokers to sell SOAT to increase coverage in Peru with limited capital investment. As of December 31, 2021, the brokerage channel accounts for approximately 20.3% of Interseguro’s total SOAT sales.

non-traditional
channels, including partnerships with Interbank and Intercorp Retail.Through its partner companies, Interseguro reaches a large number of customers, offering a convenient and reliable payment mechanism. This distribution network represents one of Interseguro’s strongest competitive advantages, as it allows for a broad insurance product offering through several points of sales.

Investments and Investment Management
Investment Portfolio
Interseguro invests the insurance premiums yet to be paid out in claims in its investment portfolio, based on a policy of capital conservation and adequate diversification.
The main objective of Interseguro’s investment portfolio is to cover its future payment obligations, associated mainly with its annuities business. Interseguro maintains a conservative asset liability management approach, matching its obligations by currency and maturity. Interseguro’s portfolio focuses on investment grade fixed-income instruments in U.S. dollars,and inflation linked notes, mitigating interest rate, inflation, and currency risks. Interseguro’s obligations consist of technical obligations related to annuities that are sold at a fixed interest rate, thus Interseguro prioritizes the investments on fixed income securities that hedge such obligations. Based on Interseguro’s investment strategy, its portfolio shows asset sufficiency to cover insurance liabilities at a currency, duration, inflation and interest rate levels that hedge against volatility in these factors.

COMPETITION
We face intense competition in all of our segments, which can affect our margins, growth and profitability.
Peruvian Banking System and Competition
During the 1990s, the Peruvian economy underwent a major transformation, from being a highly protected and regulated system prevailing in the 1980s to a free-market economy. During this period, protectionist and interventionist laws and policies were gradually dismantled to create a liberal economy dominated by the private sector. Similarly, the Peruvian financial industry underwent deep structural changes that resulted in a significant expansion of credit. From 1993 to 1998, performing loans in the Peruvian financial system grew at a five-year CAGR of 45.9%, and banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio ofrose from 10.2% to 26.4% according to the SBS.
loans-to-GDP,
In 1998, the rise in international interest rates that followed the Russian default led to large outflows of capital from Peru, resulting in a 15.8% depreciation of the. The strong depreciation of the, coupled with the strong dollarization of the Peruvian Banking system prevalent at that time (81% of the loans were denominated in U.S. dollars) led to a sharp deterioration of the Peruvian banking system’s loan portfolio quality and to a contraction in total loans.

Past-due
loans in the system peaked at 9.4% of total gross loans as of January 31, 2000, resulting in increased provisions and large capital losses for financial institutions.However, from 2001 onwards, as macroeconomic conditions improved, the general banking industry indicators in Peru began also to improve.
Past-due
loans dropped from 9.0% of total gross loans as of December 31, 2001 to 3.7% as of December 31, 2004, and loan reserves overpast-due
loans increased from 118.9% as of December 31, 2001 to 176.5% as of December 31, 2004 according to the SBS.From 2005 to 2008, fostered by a steady and sustained improvement in Peru’s macroeconomic indicators, credit expanded again, with performing loans growing 25.2% in 2005, 18.0% in 2006, 34.7% in 2007 and 38.2% in 2008. The global financial crisis that started in late 2008 temporarily reduced credit growth as performing loans remained flat in 2009. Growth returned following the crisis, with the banking system in Peru experiencing a significant expansion of credit from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2013. During this period, gross loans in the Peruvian banking system grew at a five-year CAGR of 13.0% and banking penetration in Peru, measured as the ratio ofrose from 24.8% to 30.4%, according to the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
loans-to-GDP,
From December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2021, the banking system in Peru continued to grow steadily, with gross loans expanding at a four-year CAGR of 9.3%, according to the SBS. A significant part of the growth experienced by the Peruvian financial system since 2017 has been generated by the retail banking sector. Retail loans (including consumer loans and mortgages) grew at a four-year CAGR of 6.9% for the period ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 31.9% of the Peruvian banking sector’s total loans were retail loans, down from 34.8% as of December 31, 2017.
According to the SBS, the total number of credit cards issued by the Peruvian Banking system as of December 31, 2021 was approximately 6.0 million.
Although mortgage loans in the Peruvian banking system grew at a four-year CAGR of 8.0% for the period ended December 31, 2021 and 8.9% between December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, there is still substantial room for growth, with only approximately 0.2 million mortgages outstanding in Peru among a population of approximately 33.1 million, compared to approximately 1.6 million mortgages outstanding in Chile for a population of 19.7 million, each as of December 31, 2021. A responsible macroeconomic approach, high housing demand and the promotion of housing programs over the past five years have been the main drivers of mortgage loan growth in Peru and are expected to continue fueling mortgage lending.
The Peruvian banking system is highly concentrated in a small number of relatively large participants. The four largest banks accounted for 84.7% of total gross loans and 82.6% of total deposits in the system as of December 31, 2021. Furthermore, foreign banks play a significant role in the Peruvian financial system. As of December 31, 2021, BBVA and Scotiabank, two of the four largest banks in the system, which accounted for a combined 37.5% of total gross loans and 32.4% of total deposits, according to the SBS, were under foreign control. Although other major global banks such as BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Intesa, BankBoston, HSBC and Deutsche Bank have ceased operations in Peru over the past 15 years, other foreign banks have entered or have shown interest in entering or increasing their exposure in the Peruvian market.
85
Interbank is currently the fourth largest bank in Peru, as measured by commercial lending and total assets and third largest bank, as measured by retail lending and total deposits, as of December 31, 2021, and has faced strong competition, including increased pressure on margins, primarily as a result of the presence of commercial banks in the Peruvian market with substantial capital, technology and marketing resources, as well as from Peruvian pension funds that lend to Interbank’s current and potential commercial customers. This increased competition has affected the average interest rates that the Peruvian banking system has been able to charge its customers. Despite being the fourth largest bank in Peru, Interbank is strongly positioned in the consumer sector, being the second largest bank in gross consumer loans as of December 31, 2021, according to the SBS.
In November 2019, the SBS issued Resolution No. 5570-2019 which became effective in January 2021. This resolution establishes that the
non-revolving
financing portion of credit card loans must be presented for regulatory considerations as loans instead of credit card loans. Under SBS GAAP figures, this resulted in a significant reduction to Interbank’s credit card loan balances, market share and a change in its retail loans portfolio mix, as a result we no longer have a sizable market share in that product and do not present separate market share information for credit card loans.The following tables show Interbank, the rest of the Peruvian banking system and their respective market shares as of December 31, 2021.

Fintech Landscape
In recent years, fintech entities have gained global relevance in financial services, with a focus on financial inclusion, payments solutions for individuals and companies, lending activities, insurance and investment needs. According to industry sources, investments in fintechs on a global basis increased more than 168.4% between 2020 and 2021, while fintech-related investments in Latin America increased 268.6% over the same period. In this region, investments in fintech entities have mostly targeted companies in countries like Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, which have critical mass populations. However, in Peru, partnerships between traditional financial institutions and fintech entities have started to occur, which we expect will expand opportunities to share competitive advantages and result in mutually beneficial opportunities to better serve current markets or access new ones. For example, in 2020, Interbank announced a partnership with Rappi, a leading super app in Latin America, to deliver 100% digital financial products in Peru and is constantly working closely with fintech entities to find other collaboration opportunities. In 2021, Interbank scaled its open banking initiative and integrated with several new partners to offer its financial services through new channels. For example, Interbank announced a partnership with Kambista, a Peruvian fintech which allows users to exchange U.S. dollars tothrough an online currency exchange platform.

The Peruvian insurance industry is well-capitalized, with a solvency ratio () of 131.9% under Peruvian SBS GAAP as of December 31, 2021, and operates under a well-established regulatory framework. Over the past recent years prior to the
patrimonio efectivo / requerimientos patrimoniales
COVID-19
pandemic, the industry has experienced strong growth. Insurance premiums grew at a four-year CAGR of 11.8% for the period ended December 31, 2021. Insurance premiums in Peru reached S/17.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing a 26.2% year-over-year increase.Life insurance premiums represented approximately 52.1% of total insurance premiums for the year ended December 31, 2021. In April 2016, a new regulation was approved in Peru, allowing pensioners to withdraw up to 95.5% of their retirement funds. While this measure had a negative impact on market size, life insurance annuities have increased at a CAGR of 16.7% from 2017 to 2021.
Growth of the annuities’ segment is expected to resume as the number of Peruvian private pension system’s retirees and their respective average pension balances increase. Currently, Peru’s private pension system covers eight million citizens, 96.6% of whom are under 65 years (legal retirement age).
According to the SBS, from 2008 to 2021, approximately 73,693 people retired under the Peruvian private pension system with more than 4.6 million people expected to retire between the next 10 and 30 years.
The table below sets forth the number of members in the Peruvian private pension system as of December 31, 2021.

Insurtech Landscape
In the last 10 years, advances in technology and data analytics have been accelerating the potential development of insurtechs in different parts of the value chain of the insurance industry. At a global level, insurtechs have captured almost U.S.$20 billion in investments from venture capital firms, seed funding and corporate venture capital firms financed by digital-based technology companies and large incumbents. According to industry sources, North America and Asia have led the development in insurtechs since 2010, concentrating approximately more than 80% of global investments in insurtechs (U.S.$15 billion). Insurtechs in Latin America are still in the initial financing stage compared to the United States and China. Latin America has invested approximately U.S.$131 million in insurtechs, which represents 0.7% of the global investment. Most of these insurtechs have focused their business on the sales and distribution and pricing and underwriting processes with very few “full stack” business models. In Peru, investments in the insurtech segment are in the early stages. However, many incumbents, including Interseguro, are betting on digital product developments and strategic partnerships that could eventually leverage insurtech capabilities.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems
A substantial part of our activities are conducted through Interbank and Interseguro, our banking and insurance subsidiaries, respectively, operating in Peru. A summary of the Peruvian financial and insurance regulatory framework is set forth below.
General Overview of the Peruvian Financial Regulatory Framework
Peruvian banking regulation follows the standards set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. Peruvian banks and other Peruvian financial institutions are primarily governed by two banking regulatory authorities: the SBS and the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. The Peruvian Constitution establishes that the SBS’s main function and responsibility is to protect depositors of the Peruvian financial system, while the main function of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru is to preserve monetary stability. In addition, Peruvian banks are subject to certain regulations of the SMV.
The regulatory framework for the operation of the Peruvian financial and insurance sector is set in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law () approved by Law No. 26702, which was enacted in December 1996. The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law regulates Peruvian financial and insurance companies and private pension funds administrators. In accordance with the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS is responsible for issuing banking regulations and for monitoring the Peruvian banking financial and insurance sector. The SBS supervises and regulates financial institutions such as commercial banks, financial companies, financial leasing companies, small business financial companies, savings and loan corporations, financial services companies such as trust companies and investment banks, insurance companies, private pension fund administrators and savings and loans cooperatives (other financial institutions such as stock brokerage houses and mutual fund managers are subject to different legal frameworks and to the supervision of the SMV). The SBS became operational in 1931.
Ley General del Sistema Financiero y del Sistema de Seguros y Orgánica de la Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros
Financial and insurance institutions must seek the authorization of the SBS before initiating operations. The SBS has administrative and financial autonomy, and its head office is located in Lima. The current chairman of the SBS, María del Socorro Heysen Zegarra, was appointed by former President Kuczynski in August 2016.
In June 2008, as a way to facilitate the adoption process to the Basel II standards, the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law was amended by Legislative Decree No. 1028 and Legislative Decree No. 1052, to comply with the international standards. In December 2009, the Basel Committee announced its intention to issue a new framework, related to the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking industry. This was followed by an agreement reached in June 2011 regarding the overall design of the capital and liquidity reform package (“Basel III”). The changes introduced have been designed to be implemented progressively. The SBS, by use of its regulatory attributes, has issued several regulations that seek to adapt the Peruvian financial system to the new Basel Capital Accords. This new capital framework revises and strengthens the three pillars established by Basel II. The accord is also extended with new capital buffers (including a capital conservation buffer, a countercyclical capital buffer, and a global systemically important banks buffer), a leverage ratio and liquidity requirements.
In July 2011, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 8425-2011 (as amended from time to time), establishing the final methodologies in the calculation and the implementation schedule of the additional capital requirements to be implemented in Peru, which, although not completely consistent with Basel III, includes requirements to cover concentration, interest rate and systemic risk, as well as certain
pro-cyclical
capital requirements. These additional requirements were fully implemented in July 2016.As noted, Peruvian banks, financial institutions and insurance companies are mainly regulated and supervised by the following administrative institutions:
The SBS
The SBS is the regulatory authority charged with the implementation and enforcement of the requirements contained in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, and, more generally, with the regulation and supervision of all financial and insurance companies in Peru and, since July 2005, the private pension funds administrators.
98
Its objectives include: (i) protecting the public interest; (ii) safeguarding the financial stability of the institutions over which it has authority; and (iii) punishing violators of its regulations.
Its main responsibilities include: (i) reviewing and approving, with the assistance of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, the establishment, organization and operations of the institutions it regulates and their subsidiaries; (ii) overseeing mergers, dissolutions and reorganizations of banks, financial institutions and insurance companies; (iii) supervising financial, insurance and related companies from which information on an individual or consolidated basis is required, through changes in ownership and management control (this supervision also applies to(Bank Risk Assessment Center), to which all banks are legally required to provide information regarding all businesses and individuals with whom they deal without regard to the amount of credit risk (the information provided is made available to all banks to allow them to monitor individual borrowers’ overall exposure to Peru’s financial system); and (vii) supervising the anti-money laundering system through the financial intelligence unit.
non-bank
holding companies, such as us and Intercorp Peru); (iv) reviewing theby-laws
and amendments thereto of these companies; (v) setting forth criteria governing the transfer of bank shares, when permitted by law, for valuation of assets and liabilities and for minimum capital requirements; (vi) controlling theCentral de Riesgos
The SBS enforces the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law on an ongoing basis through periodic resolutions. The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides for stringent loan loss reserve standards, brings asset risk weighing in line with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision guidelines and includes the supervision of holding companies of financial institutions by the SBS.
For the foregoing purpose, the SBS requires banks, financial and insurance companies to report, on a periodic basis, all relevant information necessary for
off-site
evaluation of its financial performance. The relevant information foroff-site
evaluation includes audited financial statements on a consolidated basis, board of directors’ reports, auditor’s reports and any other reports which reflect the operation of a bank’s business. Under current practice, such reporting is required on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and semi-annual basis, depending on the nature of the reported information.The SBS is also responsible for conducting
on-site
examinations of banks on an annual basis, implementing the provisions of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and other related legislation, examining all banking and insurance operations, and analyzing the relationship between assets, liabilities, net worth, profit and loss accounts and all other factors affecting a bank’s financial structure.The SBS has the power to impose administrative sanctions on financial institutions and their directors and employees as a result of any violation of the Peruvian financial and insurance system rules. Sanctions vary from monetary fines to license cancellation. The SBS may also sanction directors and other officers of financial institutions for breach of regulations under the supervision of the SBS.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru was incorporated in 1922. Pursuant to the Peruvian Constitution, its primary role is to ensure the stability of the Peruvian monetary system and perform the functions common to a central or reserve bank, such as issuing bank notes, implementing governmental monetary policies, regulating the money supply, managing official gold and foreign exchange reserves and managing the interbank cash clearance system. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru exercises its power and authority independently and is responsible for its affairs in accordance with the government’s policies. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru is empowered to determine the inflation target and to adopt a monetary policy in accordance thereof and is also responsible for establishing mandatory minimum liquidity reserves. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru manages Peruvian international reserves and gathers and publishes data on its finances and is also the sole issuer of Peruvian currency.
The highest decision-making authority within the Central Reserve Bank of Peru is its seven-member Board of Directors. Each Director serves a five-year term. Of the seven Directors, four are selected by the executive branch and three are selected by Congress. The Chairman of the BCRP is one of the executive branch nominees but must be approved by Congress.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru Board of Directors develops and oversees monetary policy, establishes reserve requirements for entities within the financial system, and approves guidelines for the management of international reserves. All entities within the financial system are required to comply with the decisions of the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
99
The SMV
The SMV is the Peruvian securities market regulatory authority, attached to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (). The main purpose of the SMV is promoting, overseeing and regulating the securities market, supervising and controlling all individuals and entities that intervene in such market, and enforcing compliance with the provisions of the Peruvian Securities Market Law and its regulations.
Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas
Pursuant to Article 29 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the issued and outstanding shares of Peruvian banks must be registered with the SMV and listed with the BVL. Therefore, according to the Peruvian Securities Market Law and its regulations, listed companies such as banks and insurance companies are required to file with the SMV and the BVL, in Spanish and on a going forward basis, quarterly and annual reports.
In addition, these companies are required to disclose to the market in a timely manner (on the same day when the event occurs) all information that investors are reasonably likely to consider material. Specific regulations provide for specific parameters to determine what is considered material information ().
hechos de importancia
In March 2014, regulations related to disclosure of material information were amended. By virtue of such regulations, issuers under supervision of the SMV are required to disclose all material information in connection with the issuer of registered securities (such as our common shares) and its activities or securities issued or secured by such issuer which may influence the liquidity or price of such securities.
Also, issuers whose securities are also traded in foreign markets must file with the SMV all information that is required to be disclosed to investors on such foreign market as soon as such information is delivered to foreign regulators.

The term for loans must not exceedthirty-six months, including a twelve-month grace period. The program has a duration of four years counted from the execution of the agreement between COFIDE and the financial institution. Recently, the Peruvian government authorized, on an exceptional basis, the rescheduling of loans guaranteed by the Reactiva Perú program for up to S/19.5 billion in order to provide greater payment flexibility to the beneficiaries of this program. Companies were able to apply for rescheduling until December 31, 2021. The loans rescheduled by financial institutions under this program are guaranteed by the national government for up to the unpaid principal. |
• | Establishing that the allowance rate for loan loss reserves applicable to the loans guaranteed pursuant to the Fondo de Apoyo Empresarial a la MYPE (FAE-MYPE) would be 0% when the counterparty credit risk substitution enters into effect, pursuant to SBS Resolution No. 1315-2020 enacted on April 28, 2020. TheFAE-MYPE program, created pursuant to Urgency DecreeNo. 029-2020, enacted on March 25, 2020, aims to secure loans for working capital granted to the SMEs (MYPEs), which cannot exceedthirty-six months, and, within the periods indicated, financial institutions are allowed to grant a grace period of up to twelve months.

Despite this comprehensive package of measures adopted by the Peruvian government, the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic may require the Peruvian government to implement additional or revise measures, which may further adversely impact Peru’ s economy and consequently materially and adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that Peruvian government’ s measures will be effective or sufficient to address the economic impact of theCOVID-19
pandemic.Banking Regulation and Supervision
Banking regulations and capital adequacy in Peru take into account the recommendations of the Basel Committee. The SBS has adopted the principles and guidelines of Basel II and Basel III. So far, in adopting certain Basel III recommendations, the SBS has mandated a minimum regulatory capital requirement for Peruvian banks. However, the SBS has not yet fully adopted Basel III as recommended by the Basel Committee, and we cannot provide any assurances whether or as to the extent to which the SBS may adopt it.
Implementation of Basel II Principles
To carry out the implementation of Basel II, the SBS has approved a schedule of two (2) phases: a first mandatory phase and a second voluntary phase. During the first phase, which started in 2008 and ended in June 2009, the SBS performed quantitative impact studies and drafted the most important regulations. On June 22, 2008, Legislative Decree No. 1028 was issued, which contains certain amendments to the current Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, most of which were aimed to adapt it to Basel II standards.
In order to conform to Basel II standards, the methodology for measuring credit, market and operational risks has been amended to allow both standardized and internal model-based methods for measuring market and credit risks. All Peruvian financial institutions and insurance companies were to have implemented the standardized approach methodology by June 2009. Financial institutions and insurance companies will have the opportunity to request the validation and approval to implement the internal rating-based (“IRB”) methodology. Only those financial institutions and insurance companies that apply to use the IRB methodology will follow the second phase of implementation of Basel II standards.
102
The second phase consists of a validation process of the IRB methodology by the SBS and its subsequent approval. Once the IRB methodology has been validated and approved by the SBS, the pertinent financial institution will use regulatory capital floors to calculate their capital requirements. The amount of required capital may not be less than the percentage of capital requirements obtained under the previous methodology.
First Year | Second Year | Third Year | ||||
Basic IRB and Internal Models of Credit Risk | 95% | 90% | 80% | |||
Advanced Models of Credit Risk and/or Operational Risk | 90% | 90% (1) | — |
(1) | 80% for operational risk. |
Capital Adequacy Requirements—Basel II
Under the amended provisions of Article 199 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, and on an unconsolidated basis, the regulatory capital () may not be lower than 10% of its total weighted assets, the latter being defined as the sum of: (i) 10 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover market risks; (ii) 10 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risks; and (iii) the total amount of credit risk-weighted assets. Notwithstanding, in June 2021, the SBS issued Official Document No. 27358-2021 which revises Emergency Decree
patrimonio efectivo
No. 037-2021,
and reduced the minimum regulatory capital ratio requirement from 10% to 8% from April 2021 to March 2022.According to the amended provisions of Articles 184 and 185 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, regulatory capital is defined as the sum of: (i) Tier 1 Regulatory Capital or Basic Capital; and Supplementary Capital.
Basic Capital or Tier 1 Regulatory Capital is comprised of
paid-in
capital (which includes common stock andnon-cumulative
perpetual preferred shares), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval and retained earnings of past years and of the current year, which are committed for capitalization. It also includes instruments having the characteristics of permanence and loss absorption issued in compliance with regulations recently enacted by the SBS. Basic Capital is subject to the following deductions: losses of prior years and of the current year, any deficit due to allowances, and goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations and acquisitions. Basic Capital is also subject to certain additional deductions (e.g., 50% of the investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions or financial insurance companies, etc.).Supplementary Capital is constituted by the sum of Tier 2 and Tier 3 Regulatory Capital. Tier 2 Regulatory Capital consists of voluntary reserves (which may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS), the eligible portion of redeemable subordinated debt instruments that have mixed debt and equity features, and the generic loan loss provision (up to certain limits). Tier 2 Regulatory Capital is subject to certain deductions under the law (e.g., 50% of the investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions or financial insurance companies, etc.). Tier 3 Regulatory Capital consists of redeemable subordinated debt that is incurred for the exclusive purpose of covering market risk.
Banks are required to prepare and submit to the SBS, within the first 15 days of each month, a report analyzing the bank’s assets for the previous month and the total amount of the bank’s regulatory capital. Foreign currency denominated assets are valued inat an average exchange rate published by the SBS in effect as of the date of such report.
soles
In February 2016, the SBS issued SBS Resolution
No. 975-2016,
which changed the conditions that subordinated debt must meet in order to be considered in the calculation of additional capital and the calculation methodology applicable to risk-weighted assets. This resolution is applicable to subordinated debt incurred or created from the date of its approval. However, as established in this regulation, subordinated debt incurred or created prior to its approval (and which does not meet the requirements of this new regulation) will still be considered in the calculation of regulatory capital, subject to certain rules specified therein.In addition, SBS Resolution
No. 975-2016
also includes changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets for intangibles (excluding goodwill), deferred tax assets that originate from operating losses and deferred tax assets that exceed the threshold of 10% of “adjusted total capital.” To replicate the deductions established by Basel III, these assets will experience a gradual increase in their risk weightings until they reach a maximum of 1,000% in 2026. The risk-weighted assets calculated based on these risk weightings will be used exclusively for calculating Basel III ratios. SBS Resolution No. 4280-2018, adopted in October 2018, modified the risk weight applied to intangibles (excluding goodwill) to speed up the increase in this risk weighting to 1,000% in order to close the regulatory gap with Basel III guidelines, which clearly require intangibles to be fully deducted from core capital measurements.103
Implementation of Basel III Principles
In July 2011, the SBS approved SBS Resolution No. 8425-2011 (as amended from time to time), which requires additional regulatory capital based on the risk profile of each financial institution in accordance with the guidelines approved by the SBS, to cover risks not contemplated in Pillar I of Basel II. Consistent with certain aspects of Basel III, the SBS resolution No. 8425-2011 (amended by SBS Resolution No. 03921-2021) also included capital requirements based on the Basel III principles related to capital conservation in order to mitigate the following risks: (a) economic cycle risk, (b) business concentration risk (by individual Section and/or region), (c) market concentration risk, (d) interest risk on the banking book and (e) other risks. These additional requirements were fully implemented in July 2016. Nevertheless, the SBS has not yet fully adopted Basel III as recommended by the Basel Committee.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
Interbank is in compliance with the additional regulatory capital requirements approved by the SBS.Liquidity Requirements of Basel III Principles
In December 2012, the SBS approved SBS Resolution No. 9075-2012, requiring a new calculation of the liquidity ratio coverage. The liquidity ratio coverage is a ratio for financial institutions to ensure the maintenance of adequate levels of high-quality liquidity assets that could easily be converted into cash to meet liquidity needs, for a 30 calendar day period, under a stress liquidity scenario. High-quality liquidity assets are defined as assets that are easily and immediately converted into cash.
Pursuant to SBS Resolution No. 6694-2015, the SBS has defined a plan for the implementation of this ratio. Since January 2019 and moving forward, companies are required to implement 100% of the Liquidity Ratio Coverage Ratio. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
Interbank is in full compliance with all regulatory limits required by the SBS. In addition, Interbank’s alert system monitors any deviations so Interbank may take any preventive measures.Classification of the Loan Portfolio
According to SBS regulations, the provision for loan losses is calculated and recorded following SBS Resolution No. 11356-2008, which sets parameters to determine the calculation of provisions which is based on formulas and the use of specific percentages over the balances of loans and collateral received. For example, banks must consider certain criteria with respect to the borrower, including securities; credit category; borrower’s liquidity, borrower’s equity and outstanding debt, among others. Also, it requires constitution of generic provisions based on total loan portfolio, including generic provisions on
not-impaired
loans. The loan portfolio provisions which result from such classification differ materially from the loan portfolio provisions which result from our application of IFRS. For a discussion of our loan portfolio classification policies and the resulting allowances, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Selected Statistical Information—Classification of our Loan Portfolio and—Impairment Allowance for Loans” and “Note 30.1 Credit Risk” to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.Beginning on January 1, 2021, the SBS introduced a reporting rule under the SBS GAAP whereby
non-revolving
credit card loans must be reported as othernon-revolving
consumer loans. This change resulted in a reduction in Interbank’s credit card loan balances and an increase in consumer loans in the same proportion as the credit card balances were reduced.Risk of Over-Indebtedness by Consumer Banking Customers
According to SBS Resolution No. 6941-2008, as amended, banks and other financial entities must adopt a system to manage the risk of over-indebtedness that (a) allows the mitigation of such risk before and after making the loan, (b) permits the performance of a permanent monitoring of the portfolio to identify over-indebted borrowers and (c) includes the periodic evaluation of the control mechanisms being used and of the corrective actions or required improvements, as the case may be. The board of directors of such banks and other financial entities are responsible for (i) establishing and reviewing the policies and proceedings for the identification, measuring, treatment, control, reporting and monitoring of the risk from the level of indebtedness of its consumer banking customers and (ii) causing the management to adopt the necessary measures to monitor and control such risks. In addition, the board of directors must cause the bank and/or financial entity to have an organizational structure that guarantees total independence between the risk and the commercial divisions and that the incentive schemes for employees’ performance does not cause a conflict of interest with risk management policies.
104
Banks and financial entities that are not able to monitor, control and identify the risk of over-indebtedness are obliged to maintain a special loan loss reserve. Banks and financial entities that comply with the requirements described above are not required to maintain any such specific allowance.
Legal Reserve Requirements
Pursuant to Article 67 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all banks must create a legal reserve.
Each year a bank must allocate 10% of its net profit to its legal reserve until its legal reserve is equal to 35% of its
paid-in
capital. Any subsequent increases inpaid-in
capital will imply a corresponding increase in the required level of the legal reserves to be funded as described above.Lending Limits
Under Article 206 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of direct and indirect credits and financings granted in favor of a person shall not exceed 10% of the bank’s regulatory capital. A person is defined for the purposes therein as a person or group of persons or entities representing a common or single risk.
The SBS has issued special regulations establishing the guidelines that must be followed by banks when determining legal reserves for legal proceedings for
past-due
loans and foreclosures.For purposes of Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, a single borrower includes an individual or an economic group. An economic group constituting a single or common risk, according to Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, includes a person, such person’s close relatives and companies in which such person or close relatives have significant share ownership or decision-making capability. According to current regulations, shareholders who own or control directly or indirectly at least 4% of a company’s shares are considered to share common risk with such company. Significant decision-making capability is deemed to be present when, among others, a person or group can exercise material and continuous influence upon the decisions of a company, when a person or company holds seats on the board of directors or has principal officers in another company, or when it can be assumed that one company or person is the beneficial recipient of credit facilities granted to another company.
The 10% limit indicated above may be raised to 15%, 20% and 30%, depending on the type of collateral securing the excess over each limit. For instance, the limit can be extended to 15% when the excess is secured by a mortgage; it may be raised to 20% when the excess is collateralized with securities listed in the Selective Index of the BVL (ISBVL); and it may be raised to 30% when the excess is secured with deposits that are maintained and pledged with the bank.
Other special lending limits must also be taken into account, such as lending to related parties or affiliates (30% of regulatory capital), to local banks (30%), and to foreign banks (from 5% for
non-regulated
banks to 30% for first category international banks, which may also be raised to 50% when backed by letters of credit). There are other limits that require banks to diversify their portfolio through different types of assets, benefiting liquid andlow-risk
assets.Lending to Related Parties
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law regulates and limits transactions with related parties and affiliates of financial institutions, on an unconsolidated basis. In 2015, the SBS and the SMV enacted new regulations containing definitions of indirect ownership, related parties and economic groups, which serve as the basis for determining limits on transactions with related parties and affiliates. These regulations also provide the basis for the subsequent development of specific supervision standards of financial institutions and conglomerates formed by financial institutions.
105
Additionally, pursuant to Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the aggregate amount of loans to related party borrowers may not exceed 30% of a bank’s regulatory capital (exceptionally, according to Circular
B-2148-2005,
as amended, the amount of loans to related parties may not exceed 50% of a bank’s regulatory capital if the excess of 30% is secured by credit letters from foreign financial institutions). For purposes of this test and in accordance with regulations of economic group, related party borrower includes any person or an affiliate of that person holding, directly or indirectly, 4% or more of a bank’s capital stock, directors, certain of the bank’s principal executive officers or other persons in more junior positions affiliated with the bank’s management.All loans to related parties must be made on an
arm’s-length
basis with terms no more favorable than the best terms that Interbank would offer to the public.In addition, under Article 201 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of loans extended to directors, officers, employees or close relatives of any such persons may not exceed 7% of a bank’s regulatory capital. All loans made to any single such related party borrower may not exceed 0.35% of a bank’s regulatory capital (i.e., 5% of the overall 7% limit) per each person, including such person’s spouse and relatives. In addition, the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law generally provides that banks may not extend credit to or guarantee the obligations of employees or members of the board of directors, except for home mortgage loans to employees and directors.
Country Risk Reserve Requirements
SBS Resolution No. 7932-2015, enacted in December 2015, requires the funding of reserves to cover exposure to country risk, which is defined to include sovereign risk, transfer risk and expropriation or nationalization risk, all of which may affect operations with companies or individuals in foreign countries. The SBS has also established guidelines indicating the procedures and responsibilities necessary for coping with country risk.
Integral Risk Management
Integral risk management is a process intended to identify potential events that can affect banks and to manage those events according to their nature and risk level. In January 2017, the SBS enacted the SBS Resolution
No. 272-2017,
which replaced SBS ResolutionNo. 037-2008.
SBS ResolutionNo. 272-2017
(as amended from time to time) contains guidelines for integral risk management of financial institutions and covers all kinds of risks that could affect a banking operation, such as operational, market, credit, AML, liquidity and reputational risks. Furthermore, it introduced various changes, focusing on corporate governance practices including the following: (i) two or more independent directors must be appointed when boards are integrated by six or more members, (ii) a remunerations committee must be formed and (iii) concepts such as ‘risk appetite’, ‘risk capacity’ and ‘risk limits’ have been modeled after the Principles for an Effective Risk Appetite Framework of the Financial Stability Board.Credit Risk
According to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, as of July 1, 2009, financial institutions would have been allowed to use the IRB methodology instead of the standardized methodology for calculating their regulatory capital requirement for credit risk, after receiving prior approval from the SBS. However, regulations required for the full implementation of both standardized and IRB methodologies by Peruvian financial institutions were not enacted until November 4, 2009, with SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009.
Under SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009, enacted in November 2009, financial institutions are allowed to use the standardized methodology and, with the prior approval of the SBS, IRB methodologies for calculating their regulatory capital requirement for credit risk. Interbank has not decided if it will request approval from the SBS to adopt the IRB methodology.
In addition, according to SBS Resolution No. 3780-2011, financial institutions are required to implement an organizational structure and certain procedures in connection with control on interest management and strategic needs procedures in order to adequately manage credit risk. SBS Resolution No. 8548-2012, enacted in November 2012, establishes new guidelines for calculation of risk weighted assets for personnel (), credit card and mortgage exposure resulting in more capital requirements for credit risk.

Market Risk
Regulations for the supervision of market risks, enacted in May 1998, require banks to establish internal policies and procedures to monitor these risks, as well as market risk exposure limits. Regulations define market risk as the probability of loss derived from exposure to various classes of commodities, securities, foreign exchange, derivative operations or commercial assets that banks may hold in their portfolio, which may, or may not, be accounted for in their statements of financial position. In June 2009, the SBS enacted SBS Resolution No. 6328-2009, which defines the methodology to be applied, and the requirements to be satisfied, to calculate the regulatory capital requirement for market risks under the standard methodology and the IRB methodology.
Operational Risk
SBS Resolution No. 2115-2009, enacted in April 2009, defines the methodology to be applied, and the requirements to be satisfied, by financial institutions in calculating their regulatory capital requirement for operational risk under the IRB methodology, the alternative standardized methodology and the advanced methodologies. The IRB methodology uses a bank’s gross operational margin as an “exposure indicator,” and its application does not require the prior approval by the SBS. Application of the alternative standardized methodology or the advanced methodologies requires compliance with certain provisions included in SBS Resolution No. 2115-2009 (as amended from time to time) and prior approval from the SBS.
SBS Resolution No. 2116-2009, enacted in April 2009, which approves the guidelines for managing operational risk, defines “operational risk” as the possibility of suffering losses due to inadequate procedures, failures of personnel, IT or external events, including, without limitation, legal risks (but excluding strategic and reputational risk). It also establishes that a bank’s board of directors is responsible for designing the general policies to manage operational risk and that a bank’s management is in charge of implementing such policies. Finally, it provides that each bank is obligated to create a database of all of such bank’s losses due to operational risk, classifying such losses by event.
Investments in Financial Instruments
Investment in financial instruments by Peruvian banks is restricted to those financial instruments listed in the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, such as equity instruments traded on a stock exchange, debt instruments (to the extent that certain requirements are satisfied), sovereign debt instruments and quotas in mutual and investment funds, among others.
Pursuant to SBS Resolution No. 7033-2012, investments in financial instruments by Peruvian banks shall be classified into any of the following categories: (a) investments at fair value with changes in results (short-term), (b) investments(c) investments until maturity (long-term) and (d) investments in subsidiaries and affiliates.

On July 2018, the SBS issued SBS Resolution No. 2610-2018, which entered into force as of October 1, 2018, and amended the regulation on classification and valuation of investments approved by SBS Resolution No. 7033-2012 and its amendments. The main amendment contained in this resolution is the introduction of standard methodology for the identification of impairment of financial instruments classified asinvestments andinvestments.

Reserve Requirements from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru
Under the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, all financial institutions regulated by the SBS (except for small-business development) for certain obligations. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru may require additional marginal reserves. The exact level and method of calculation of these reserve requirements is set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, which has issued different sets of regulations for foreign and local currency-denominated obligations of banks. The following liabilities are subject to the reserve requirement: demand and time deposits, savings accounts, certain obligations, securities, certain bonds and funds administered by the bank. Subject to certain requirements, the regulation excludes
non-bank
institutions) are required to maintain a legal reserve (encaje
mid-term
and long-term funding (i.e., more than two years) from foreign financial institutions, other central banks, governments or multilateral lending agencies.In April 2004, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru began requiring reserves on amounts due to foreign banks and other foreign financial institutions, which were not previously considered obligations.
As of December 31, 2021, the minimum legal reserve requirement for local and foreign currency deposits was 4.75% (subsequently increased to 5.00% in January 2022, 5.25% in February 2022, 5.50% in March 2022, 5.75% in April 2022 and subject to be increased to 6.00% commencing in May 2022) and 9.0%, respectively. Foreign currency deposits collected from the general public are subject to a marginal rate of 35%
107
for funds that exceed a certain level set by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru. Local and foreign currency borrowings from certain foreign sources with an original maturity of two years or less are subject to a 9% special rate. Financial institutions may satisfy the minimum reserve requirements with funds that they hold in vaults or that they have deposited in their accounts at the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Subject to certain requirements, the regulation excludes from the reserve requirement
mid-term
and long-term funding (i.e., liabilities with a minimum average maturity of more than two years, subject to other conditions) through the issuance of securities.They must also keep at least 1.0% and 3.0% of their local and foreign currency deposited in the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, respectively. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru oversees compliance with the reserve requirements.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru also establishes the interest rate payable on reserves that exceed the minimum legal reserve requirement applicable to both local and foreign currency deposits. The current applicable interest rate: (a) for local currency reserves, different from those described below, is the higher of 0.0% or the overnight deposits interest rate, minus 1.95%; and, (b) for foreign currency deposits, is the higher of 0.0% and 25.0% of the
one-month
LIBOR interest rate, minus 0.125%. Currently, no interest rate is payable in respect of local currency deposits to certain foreign sources, such as financial institutions, hedge funds, brokerage firms, pension funds and others with a foreign parent company, except for those authorized by the SBS to collect deposits from the general public in Peru. The applicable interest rate is expected to be periodically revised by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru in accordance with monetary policy objectives.In the past, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has on numerous occasions changed the deposit reserve requirements applicable to Peruvian commercial banks and both the rate of interest paid on deposit reserves and the amount of deposit reserves on which no interest is payable by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
Deposit Insurance Fund
Bank deposits are protected by the(Deposit Insurance Fund), against bank failure. Specifically, savings deposit by natural persons, savings deposit accounts maintained by
Fondo de Seguros de Depósito
non-profit
entities and checking accounts are covered in full up to an amount that is revised quarterly by the SBS. For the period between December 2021 and February 2022, the maximum coverage amount is S/115,637 per person per bank.The Deposit Insurance Fund was established in 1991 and was organized as a private corporation in 1996. The Deposit Insurance Fund’s governing body is led by a representative of the SBS. The additional members are appointed by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (one member), the MEF (one member) and by the banks (three members). SBS provides the necessary administrative members and operational resources for the Deposit Insurance Fund.
The financial resources available to the Deposit Insurance Fund pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law include, among others, the original contribution from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, insurance premiums paid by banks, unclaimed bank deposits (after 10 years) and fines imposed by the SBS for violations of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law.
In addition, the Deposit Insurance Fund may, in extraordinary situations, borrow funds with authorization from the Peruvian treasury, or it may borrow long-term government securities from the Peruvian treasury.
Anti-Money Laundering Rules
Money laundering is considered a criminal act in Peru. A special legal framework was established in April 2002, which follows the 40 recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, or “FATF,” established by the
G-7.
Since then, this legal framework has been amended in order to improve and increase the efficiency of the Peruvian anti-money laundering system.Money laundering includes a wide range of serious offenses such as tax evasion, terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption and other criminal activities. A special set of anti-money laundering rules applies specifically to banks, which includes specific rules for customer and employee due diligence and recordkeeping. In March 2008, the SBS enacted additional anti-money laundering provisions, pursuant to which, among other things, banks must establish a set of policies and procedures specifically aimed to prevent asset laundering and
108
the financing of terrorist activities. In November 2008, the SBS modified the anti-money laundering provisions to include, among other changes, the obligations of Peruvian banks to verify that their branches and foreign subsidiaries comply with the anti-money laundering and terrorism financing provisions enacted by the SBS and with the recommendations of the FATF.
On February 17, 2011, the SBS modified current anti-money laundering provisions through SBS Resolution No. 2108-2011, as amended, in order to adapt these provisions to international standards established by the Financial Action Task Force of South America (, or “GAFISUD”), in relation to due diligence in the identification of clients according to their risk and profile level, among other considerations. On May 14, 2015 and December 6, 2017, the SBS further amended and supplemented the aforementioned provisions through SBS Resolution No. 2660-2015 and SBS Resolution No. 4705-2017 (each as amended). SBS Resolution No. 2018-2011 was replaced by SBS Resolution No. 2891-2018, which came into force on October 1, 2018.
Grupo de Acción Financiera de Sudamerica
The government agency responsible for supervising the anti-money laundering system is the UIF, which was made part of the SBS in July 2007. The chairman of this agency is appointed by the chairman of the SBS. Additionally, Law No. 30424, enacted in April 2016 and which took effect on January 1, 2018, as amended, attributes criminal liability to legal entities when money laundering, terrorist financing and/or bribery (including multinational bribery) crimes are committed on its behalf or for its benefit by any legal representative ororexecutive. Such regulation establishes that criminal liability will be exempted or mitigated if the legal entity has adopted an adequate and suitable prevention model following the criteria and minimum guidelines outlined in Law No. 30424. On January 9, 2019, Supreme Decree() was enacted and took effect, setting forth further regulations and guidelines related to, among other things, the suitable prevention model to be implemented in accordance with Law No. 30424.

All banks that are organized as corporations (the only exception being the Peruvian branches of foreign banks) are listed on the BVL. As a result, they are subject to the disclosure and reporting rules contained in the Peruvian Securities Market Law and the internal regulations of the SMV and the BVL. Banks are also subject to full disclosure and reporting obligations under the banking regulatory framework. See “Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance Systems—”.

Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS has the power to interrupt the operations of a bank in order to prevent, or to control and reduce the effects of, a bank failure. Accordingly, the SBS may intervene in a bank’s business by adopting either a temporary surveillance regime or a definitive intervention regime (“Intervention”) depending on how critical the situation is deemed to be by the SBS. Intervention will be taken upon the occurrence of certain events, including (a) suspension of payments, (b) failure to comply with the restructuring plan during the surveillance regime, (c) regulatory capital is less than 50% of the minimum regulatory capital required or (d) deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital in a
12-month
period. Less drastic measures, such as (1) placing additional requirements, (2) ordering a capital increase or an asset divesture or (3) imposing a financial restructuring plan, may be also adopted by the SBS when the situation allows for them.An Intervention may halt a bank’s operations for up to 45 days, and may be extended for a second period of up to 45 additional days, during which time the SBS may institute measures such as: (a) canceling losses by reducing reserves, capital and subordinated debt, (b) segregating certain assets and liabilities for transfer to another financial institution and (c) merging the intervened bank with another acquiring institution. After an Intervention, the SBS will proceed to dissolve and liquidate the bank unless the preceding option (c) was applied.
Beginning on the date on which a resolution of the SBS subjecting a bank to an Intervention regime is issued, and continuing until such Intervention is concluded (which period ends when the liquidation process begins), the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law prevents any creditor of the bank from (a) initiating any judicial or administrative procedure for the collection of any amount owed by the bank, (b) enforcing any judicial decision rendered against the bank to secure payment of any of its obligations, (c) constituting a lien or attachment over any of the assets of the bank to secure payment of any of its obligations or (d) making any payment, advance or compensation or assuming any obligation on behalf of the bank, with the funds or assets that may belong to it and are held by third parties, except for
(i) set-off
compensation payments that are made between regulated entities of the Peruvian banking and financial sector and insurance industry and(ii) set-off
of reciprocal obligations arising from repurchase agreements and operations with financial derivatives entered into with local or foreign financial and insurance institutions.109

Insurance Regulation and Supervision
Solvency Requirements and Regulatory Capital
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS regulates the solvency margin of Peruvian insurance companies. The solvency margin is based upon calculations that take into account the annual amount of premiums and the medium burden of claims during a specified period (three latest annual periods) prior to the date on which calculation is made.
110
Insurance companies must also maintain a “solvency equity”which must be higher than (a) the solvency margin, or (b) the minimum capital required by law, or S/7,919,399 in accordance with Circularfor the period between January and March 2022. The required amount of solvency equity is recalculated at least monthly and is adjusted for inflation. If the insurance company has operations subject to credit risk, part of the solvency equity should be segregated for their coverage.
(patrimonio de solvencia)
G-214-2022
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides that insurance companies should have at all times a regulatory capital that should not be lower than the solvency equity detailed above.
The regulatory capital of Peruvian insurance companies used to cover its operations may be conformed by: (a) the insurance company’svoluntary and legal reserves and premium for the issue of shares; and (b) the computable portion of the subordinate debt meeting SBS requirements that such entity establishes for such purpose. The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides the following procedure for the determination of the regulatory capital eligible to cover insurance risks: (a) sum of thesupplementary capital premium and the legal and voluntary reserves, as applicable; (b) sum of the profit of previous fiscal years and of the fiscal year in course, including the commitment to capitalization of the fiscal year profits; (c) sum of the subordinated bonds issued by the insurance companies; (d) subtraction of the amount of all the investment in subordinate bonds and shares of diverse nature made by insurance companies in other insurance companies engaged in different lines of business; (e) subtraction of the losses of the previous fiscal years and the fiscal year in course; and (f) subtraction of the goodwill of the company, as well as losses of reserves that come from assets valuation.
paid-in-capital,
paid-in-capital,
Furthermore, insurance companies shall maintain a guarantee reserve equivalent to 35% of its solvency equity as a guarantee fund. According to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, such guarantee fund is different and complementary to the portions of capital respectively directed to (a) constitute the solvency margin of the insurance risks; and, (b) as applicable, to cover credit risks.
Reserves
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law provides that insurance companies shall constitute, on a monthly basis, the following technical reserves: (a) for claims, including those that took place and were not reported,
past-due
capital and income or benefits of the insured parties, with pending liquidation or payment; (b) mathematical, over life or income insurance; (c) for risks in course ornon-accrued
premiums; (d) for catastrophes and uncertain casualty risks; and (e) for risks of medical health or medical assistance insurance.Article 67 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law also requires that all insurance companies establish a legal reserve by setting aside 10% of adjusted income before taxes, until the reserve reaches at least 35% of their capital stock.
Under SBS GAAP following the adoption of new mortality tables in 2018 the SBS allowed the adjustment of technical reserves to be spread over 10 years. Accordingly, since January 2019, pursuant to SBS GAAP we are adjusting our technical reserves over 10 years. In contrast, under IFRS, in 2018 we had a negative impact of S/144.8 million due to the aggregate effect recorded in technical reserves on insurance policies issued prior to the date of adoption of the new mortality tables.
Limit of Indebtedness
Insurance companies may only take credits, in the country or abroad, for a sum not exceeding an amount equivalent to its regulatory capital. In case such limit of indebtedness is surpassed, the insurance company shall submit to the SBS a program approved by its board of directors establishing the measures adopted to eliminate the excess within a term not exceeding three (3) months.
Investment Requirements
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the total amount of investments of a Peruvian insurance company shall cover the total amount of technical reserves at all times. For such purposes, technical reserves are defined as the sum of all obligations that an insurance company hasits insured clients plus the solvency equity, the guarantee fund and the regulatory capital for the economic cycle. The assets covering the technical reserves cannot be subject to any pledge, encumbrance or precautionary measure, which limits its free availability.
vis-à-vis
Peruvian insurance companies are allowed to invest in certain eligible assets such as instruments issued by the Peruvian Central Government, classified corporate bonds and shares, among others. However, in order to balance levels of risk, applicable regulations have imposed a number of limitations to insurance companies with
111
respect to their investments (by issuer, economic group, type of instrument and nationality, among others). In general terms, no more than 15% of the total amount of an insurance company’s technical reserves may be invested in certain instruments (including, among others, stocks and bonds) issued by the same economic group, which may be reduced to 7% if certain additional conditions are met. The investment regulations further specify that investment policies of Peruvian insurance companies shall consider maximum limits by issuer (calculated over the regulatory capital of each company) depending on the type of investment and the insurance industry in which the company operates.
Pursuant to the Investment of Insurance Companies Regulation approved by SBS Resolution No. 1041-2016 (as amended), Interseguro has implemented a plan to reduce its exposure to related parties and comply with the limits established by Article 13 of the, approved by Resolution No. 11823-2010 (as amended).

As a result, they are subject to the disclosure and reporting rules contained in the Peruvian Securities Market Law and the internal regulations of the BVL. Insurance companies are also subject to full disclosure and reporting obligations under the insurance regulatory framework.

Ownership Restrictions
The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law establishes certain restrictions on the ownership of a bank and insurance company’s capital stock. Banks must have at least two unrelated shareholders at all times. Restrictions are placed on the ownership of shares of any bank or insurance company by persons that have committed certain crimes, as well as by public officials who have supervisory powers over banks or who are majority shareholders of an enterprise of a similar nature. All transfers of shares in a bank or insurance company must be reported to the SBS by the bank or insurance company.
Transfers involving the acquisition by any individual or corporation, whether directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of a bank or insurance company’s capital stock must receive prior authorization from the SBS. The SBS may deny authorization to such transfer of shares if the purchasers (or their shareholders in the case of legal persons) are legally disabled, have engaged in illegal activity in the areas of banking, finance, insurance or reinsurance, or if objections are raised on the basis of the purchaser’s moral fitness or financial solvency. The decision of the SBS on this matter is final and cannot be overturned in the courts. If a transfer is made without obtaining the prior approval of the SBS, the purchaser may be fined an amount equivalent to the value of the securities transferred. In addition, the purchaser will be required to sell the securities within 30 days, or the fine will double, and the purchaser is disqualified from exercising its voting rights at any shareholders’ meetings and to participate in the distribution of dividends. Foreign investors receive the same treatment as Peruvian nationals and are subject to the same limitations described above.

The Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law and SBS Resolution No. 18400-2010, enacted in January 2011, require that all financial and insurance institutions be rated by at least two rating agencies (registered with the SBS) on a semiannual basis (updated in March and September, with information as of December 31 and June 30 of each year, respectively), in addition to the SBS’s own assessment. Criteria to be considered in the rating include risk management and control procedures, loan quality, financial strength, profitability, liquidity and financial efficiency. Five risk categories are assigned, from “A,” lowest risk, to “E,” highest risk, allowing for subcategories within each letter.
Intervention by the SBS
Pursuant to the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, the SBS has the power to interrupt the operations of an insurance company to prevent, or to control and reduce, the effects of its failure. Accordingly, SBS intervention may be of two levels, depending on how critical the situation is: a temporary supervision regime or a definitive intervention regime prior to liquidating the bank or insurance company. Intervention will be taken upon the occurrence of certain events including: (1) suspension of payments; (2) failure to comply with the restructuring plan during the surveillance regime; (3) deficit or reduction of more than 50% of its regulatory capital in a
12-month
period; or (4) deficit or reduction of its regulatory capital in excess of 50% of its solvency capital.112
The intervention regime and the liquidation is the same as the one described above for banking entities. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—The Peruvian Financial and Insurance System—Intervention by the SBS and Liquidation”. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—Investment Requirements” for a discussion of investment requirements and technical obligations.
General Overview of the Bahamian Financial Regulatory Framework
The regulatory framework for the operation of the Bahamian bank and trust industry is set forth in the Central Bank of The Bahamas Act, 2020, as amended, and the Banks and Trust Companies Regulation Act, 2020, as amended, and their related rules and regulations and any related guidance or notices issued by The Central Bank of The Bahamas. The Central Bank of The Bahamas licenses and supervises all of the banks and trust companies in The Bahamas. Its objectives include promoting and maintaining monetary stability and ensuring a sound financial system through the effective application of international regulatory and supervisory standards. All banks must adhere to the Central Bank of The Bahamas’ licensing and prudential requirements, ongoing supervisory programs and regulatory reporting requirements, and are subject to periodic onsite inspections. The regulatory framework for the securities industry in The Bahamas is set forth in the Securities Industry Act, 2011, as amended, and the Securities Industry Regulations, 2012. The relevant regulator for the securities industry is the Securities Commission of The Bahamas.
Licensing
Inteligo Bank has been granted a banking license by the Central Bank of The Bahamas and an International Banking License by the Superintendency of Banks of Panama. Under the BTCRA, the Central Bank of The Bahamas may revoke the license of a licensee if: in the opinion of the Central Bank of The Bahamas, the licensee (i) is carrying on its business in a manner detrimental to the public interest or the interests of its depositors or other creditors or (ii) contravening the provisions of Bahamian banking law or any other law, order or regulations made thereunder, or any term or condition subject to which the license was issued, either in The Bahamas or elsewhere; (iii) if Inteligo Bank has ceased to carry on its banking business; or (iv) if Inteligo Bank becomes bankrupt or goes into liquidation or is wound up or otherwise dissolved.
Inteligo Bank’s asset management activities and securities custody and trading activities are subject to supervision by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. Inteligo Bank holds the following licenses from the Securities Commission of The Bahamas: Dealing as Agent or Principal; Arranging Securities; Managing Securities; and Advising on Securities. Inteligo Bank is licensed to undertake all securities related activities that are ancillary to its banking business.
Banking Regulation and Supervision
Banking regulations on capital adequacy and regulatory framework in The Bahamas take into account the recommendations of the Basel Committee. The Central Bank of The Bahamas has adopted a Basel Implementation Program (the “Program”) and has effectively implemented Pillar I, Pillar II and Pillar III of the Basel II framework. The Pillar I framework focuses on the capital adequacy ratio requirements. Pillar II focuses on the ICAAP (the guidelines in relation to the ICAAP were released in August of 2016), and Pillar III relates to Minimum Disclosures. The Central Bank of The Bahamas has rolled out the capital component of the Basel III framework and in 2017, began to implement other elements namely, the capital buffers, the leverage ratio, the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio. In November 2020, the Central Bank of The Bahamas released a draft of The Bahamas capital regulations and reforms to the guidelines for the management of capital and the calculation of capital adequacy, which ended its consultation period in January 2021 and was shared with the Bahamian government during the third quarter of 2021 for final endorsement and release. The Bahamas capital regulations include changes to the methodology for the calculation of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital that could adversely impact Inteligo Bank’s capital adequacy ratio. Currently, a date has not been defined for the implementation of these regulations. In 2018, the Central Bank of The Bahamas published two discussion papers focused on minimum disclosures (Pillar III of the Basel II framework) and the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio (main components of Basel III), but its liquidity framework will be implemented after the completion of the capital framework.

Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Regulations
Money laundering is a criminal act in The Bahamas. The laws of The Bahamas concerning money laundering and combatting the financing of terrorism are contained in the following legislation, as amended: (i) the Proceeds of Crime Act, 2018; (ii) the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2004; (iii) the Financial Transactions Reporting Act, 2018; (iv) the Financial Transaction Reporting Regulations, 2018; (v) the Financial Transactions Reporting (Wire Transfers) Regulations, 2018; (vi) the Financial Intelligence Unit Act, 2000; and (vii) the Financial Intelligence (Transactions Reporting) Regulations, 2001. The, issued by the Central Bank of The Bahamas, apply specifically to banks and other licensees of the Central Bank of The Bahamas. The guidelines require banks to establish clear responsibilities and accountabilities to ensure that policies, procedures and controls which deter criminals from using their facilities for money laundering or the financing of terrorism, are implemented and maintained, thus ensuring that they comply with their obligations under the law. Banks must have in place sufficient controls and monitoring systems for timely detection and reporting of suspicious activities, proper verification of their customers’ identities, record keeping in accordance with applicable laws, and ongoing education and training for its employees.
Guidelines for Licensees on the Prevention of Money Laundering
& Countering the Financing of Terrorism
The Bahamas has enacted the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018 which requires substantial economic presence in The Bahamas for certain Bahamian entities that conduct relevant activities. A relevant activity includes the business of banking as conducted by Inteligo Bank. Inteligo Bank has made the appropriate registration in order to seek exemption from this legislation as it considers itself to be tax resident in another jurisdiction, Panama, despite being a licensed bank in The Bahamas. As a tax resident in Panama, Inteligo Bank would be exempt from the requirements of the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018 if it fulfills certain disclosure and governance requirements of the applicable legislation. If Inteligo Bank is not considered to be tax resident in Panama, or does not fulfill the requirements of the applicable legislation, it will have to enhance its economic and business presence in The Bahamas in order to comply with the Commercial Entities (Substance Requirements) Act, 2018.

Changes in Net Interest and Similar Income and Net Interest and Similar Expense: Volume and Rate Analysis
The following table sets forth, by currency of denomination, changes in our interest revenue and expenses between changes in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in their respective nominal interest rates from the year ended December 31, 2019 to the year ended December 31, 2020 and from the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2021. Volume and rate variances have been calculated based on movements in average quarterly balances and changes in nominal interest rates, average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The net change attributable to changes in both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

The ratio of allowances for loan losses to average loans was 4.7% in 2021 compared to 7.1% in 2020. The lower ratio was mainly explained by lower allowances for direct loans in addition to growth in the average balance of loans.
Lower allowances for direct loans were explained by reductions in provision requirements in consumer loans and mortgages. These effects were partially offset by higher allowances for loans in commercial and small and micro-business loans, mainly related to those sectors of the economy which were impacted by the targeted lockdowns, new
COVID-19
variants, restricted hours of operations and political events in 2021.The following tables show the changes in our impairment allowance for loans (direct and indirect) by line of business for the period indicated.

ETHICS AND CORPORATE COMPLIANCE
IFS is firmly committed to promoting a world-class ethics and compliance program (the “Compliance Program”), ensuring a compliance culture within its subsidiaries, to maintain an ethical culture throughout its organizations. Thus, IFS has a corporate compliance policy (the “IFS Corporate Compliance Policy”) based on local and US regulations, and international best practices.
The purpose of the Compliance Program is to promote corporate policies and procedures of effective internal controls to prevent, detect and report inappropriate conduct, comply with laws and regulations, and mitigate reputational risk to maintain a sustainable business. In addition, this program is enhanced and strengthened by a sanctions program to correct misconduct and reinforce compliance policies through continuous training. Moreover, to ensure independence, the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) reports directly to the board of directors and indirectly to the CEO, and the subsidiaries’ Compliance Officers report directly to their respective board of directors and indirectly to the CCO.
The Compliance Program takes a risk-based approach, which focuses on mitigating the risk of economic sanctions or other penalties that could negatively impact our reputation. This program includes the following policies:
Anti-Money Laundering / Counter Financing of Terrorism (“AML/CFT”)
IFS has implemented a risk-based AML/CFT program according to regulations pursuant to which each subsidiary operates. In addition, IFS and its subsidiaries comply with international standards and best practices, including the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”).
The subsidiaries have implemented their policies and procedures in accordance with the IFS Corporate Compliance Policy and local regulation, approved by their respective boards of directors and reviewed on an annual basis, which includes but is not limited to:
• | AML/CFT policy and procedures based on risk assessment. |
• | Customer Identification Program (“CIP”), Know Your Customer (“KYC”), and due diligence procedures including monitoring of the OFAC and International Sanctions List. |
• | Know your employee and vendor policy. |
• | Annual review of high-risk customers. |
• | Continuous and mandatory training for all employees, including tailored training for the board of directors, front office, and compliance team members. |
Anti-Corruption Program
IFS is committed to conducting its business in accordance with world-class ethics and compliance standards. As part of that commitment, IFS prohibits its directors, officers and employees from making any political contribution on its behalf or its subsidiaries. Our anti-corruption program contains policies and procedures that comply with the local and international anti-corruption laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).
Our program has been designed by understanding IFS’s business from a commercial perspective and its risk profile. This program includes, but is not limited to, roles and responsibilities, guidelines, a
zero-tolerance
policy for any act of bribery or corruption, policies regarding gifts, conflicts of interest, donations, and hiring and appointing employees, officers, and directors, as well as violations reports, and sanctions.The subsidiaries have implemented their respective anti-corruption programs based on the IFS Corporate Compliance Policy and local anti-bribery regulations.
Insider Trading
The IFS insider trading program prohibits any of its directors, officers, or employees who possess material,
non-public
information concerning IFS or its subsidiaries from buying or selling its securities or passing on such information to others who may be induced to buy or sell securities.131
Consumer Data Privacy Program
In accordance with local regulations and best international practices, IFS is committed to ensuring that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the purpose for which it has been provided, with the expressed consent of the clients.
This program includes compliance with the legal framework of Law No. 29733 Personal Data Protection Law and Supreme Decree No.In addition, the subsidiaries that are subject to this law, have implemented internal controls in accordance with the IFS Corporate Compliance Program.

Fiscal Transparency (FATCA & CRS)
O.C.D.E. Common Report Standard (“CRS”)

Such requirements include the settlement of certain operations through a clearinghouse and adherence to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) standards to comply, where applicable, with Dodd Frank regulations.
Whistleblower Hotline
IFS and its subsidiaries have implemented a whistleblower hotline that helps stakeholders report improper conduct, fraudulent practices, violations of internal policies, and unlawful and unethical conducts. These conducts can be reported through the website,
e-mail,
or phone call, and may be reported anonymously. Moreover, this hotline is managed by a third party to reinforce the confidentiality of the complaint.Training
Compliance training is mandatory for all employees. In addition, as a first line of defense, members of the compliance team are required to take additional tailored training.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Substantially all of our subsidiaries’ operations are conducted in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on economic conditions, consumer spending and investment levels in Peru. During the 1980s, Peru experienced a severe economic crisis and high levels of inflation. Beginning in the 1990s, however, the Peruvian government implemented a series of structural reforms, which helped stabilize the Peruvian economy and foster continued GDP growth, lower inflation and interest rates, more stable currency and significantly improved public finances. Moreover, and as a result of the financial instability in 2008 and 2009, which was accompanied by the worst global economic downturn in many decades, the Peruvian economy, while affected, was one of the few economies in Latin America to experience growth in 2009. Peru’s real GDP grew at a rate of 1.0% in 2009, supported by the Peruvian government’s fiscal stimulus programs.

Nonetheless, the country has experienced a slowdown in recent years, mainly explained by lower domestic demand, as a result of a lower growth in private investment. This slowdown was intensified due to several factors, such as (i) a strong El Niño phenomenon, which adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism and commercial activity, and resulted in a 1.5% drop in GDP growth in 2017; (ii) corruption scandals related to the activities of certain Brazilian and Peruvian companies in the construction sector, which resulted in suspension or delay of important infrastructure projects during 2018; and (iii) political instability, as Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises starting in 2018 due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment, including that of former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 and former President Martín Vizcarra in 2020, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. Despite these factors and continued political corruption scandals, the Peruvian economy continued to outperform its peer countries in 2019, supported by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and strong fiscal and monetary policies.
In 2020, Peru experienced an 11.0% GDP contraction as a result of the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic, and in particular the impact of the lockdown and mobility restrictions implemented by the Peruvian government to contain the spread of the pandemic, which in turn resulted in (i) lower employment, (ii) postponement of investment projects, and (iii) restricted access to goods and services. As a result of the reductions in private consumption and gross fixed investment, domestic demand decreased 9.8% during the year.At the beginning of 2021, Peru continued to struggle from the effects of the pandemic but started to recover over time as targeted lockdowns decreased and were eventually lifted and the vaccination program accelerated. The recovery was mainly driven by domestic demand-oriented sectors, improved trade terms, higher private consumption, and the base effect of such improvements as compared to 2020. Nevertheless, such improved economic landscape was negatively affected by the uncertainty that arose in the run up to the presidential and congressional elections that took place in April 2021. These political events contributed to a slowdown in GDP growth, volatility of the exchange rate and weakening of the local currency, which in turn also affected inflation. As a result of these factors, the Peruvian GDP grew 13.3% in 2021.
The table below sets forth additional details regarding Peru’s recent economic performance.

In this context, Peru continues to have its sovereign debt rated investment grade by S&P, Fitch and Moody’s. The Peruvian government’s conservative fiscal policy, coupled with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s responsible management of inflation and international reserves has helped Peru to maintain its investment grade ratings by Moody’s (Baal), S&P (BBB) and Fitch (BBB). Peru’s credit ratings are subject to periodic review, and may be revised or lowered in the future.
Furthermore, in its most recent forecast as of March 2022, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated real GDP growth of 3.4% for 2022 and 3.2% for 2023, as compared to a 13.3% increase registered in 2021 and a 11.0% decrease registered in 2020. Based on Peru’s strong macroeconomic base, during 2020 and 2021, the government deployed various expansionary fiscal and monetary policies to control and mitigate the impact of
COVID-19
on the Peruvian economy and population.133
Interest Rates
In general, increases in prevailing interest rates result in more interest revenue from loans. An increase of prevailing interest rates may, however, adversely affect Interbank as a result of reduced overall demand for loans and greater risk of default by its clients. In addition, relatively high interest rates affect Interbank’s funding costs, and can adversely affect spreads on its loan portfolio if Interbank is unable to pass on the increased funding costs to its clients. On the other hand, a decrease in interest rates can reduce Interbank’s revenue from its loan portfolio. This revenue decrease may be offset by an increase in the volume of loans resulting from higher demand and/or a decrease in Interbank’s funding costs. As a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, on April 9, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures, such as reducing the reference interest rate by 200 basis points from 2.25% to 0.25%. This measure has affected both interest income and interest expense. Moreover, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, similar to other monetary authorities around the world, started to increase its reference rate to mitigate the impacts of inflation in Peru. As of December 31, 2021, the reference interest rate was 2.50%.In May 2021, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru set the methodology to determine maximum interest rates applicable to three types of loans: (i) ordinary consumer credit; (ii) consumer loans equivalent to two UIT () or less; and, (iii) credit for small and micro businesses, as ruled by Law 31143. Maximum interest rates are to be set at two times the average rate of consumer loans during the period between two and seven months prior to becoming effective. The interest rate cap was first effective for the period between May and October 2021 at a level of 83.4% for loans denominated inand 68.4% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. For the period between November 2021 and April 2022, the interest rate cap was 83.6% for loans denominated inand 66.1% for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The interest rate cap does not represent a major disruption to Interbank’s results.

Increases in interest rates negatively affect the value of Interseguro’s fixed income portfolio. However, higher rates allow Interseguro to reinvest new annuities at a higher yield. At the same time, increases in interest rates result in an increase in the discount rate Interseguro uses to calculate its reserve requirements, which has the effect of reducing Interseguro’s required technical reserves. Conversely, if interest rates fall, Interseguro’s portfolio will have a lower average interest rate, resulting in Interseguro having to record higher technical reserves.
Similar to Interbank, an increase in prevailing interest rates may adversely affect Inteligo as a result of reduced overall demand for loans, as well as lower interest margins if Inteligo is unable to pass on higher funding costs to its clients. On the other hand, a decrease in interest rates may reduce Inteligo’s revenue from its loan portfolio. Furthermore, a portion of Inteligo’s revenues corresponds to earnings from its investment portfolio and is therefore exposed to interest rates fluctuations that may affect revenue from fixed-income instruments.
Increases in interest rates result in additional interest income from Inteligo’s variable-rate investments, but may also result in capital losses on its fixed-rate investments.
Inflation
Our performance may be impacted by inflation, because substantially all of our assets are not adjusted for the effects of inflation. During the 1980s, Peru experienced hyperinflation, negative economic growth and substantial currency devaluation. Inflation rates in Peru began to decrease in the 1990s and in the last 14 years Peru had one of the lowest average inflation rates in the region, partly due to the monetary policy implemented by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru and partly due to the conservative fiscal policy of the Peruvian government. In 2002, in order to maintain low inflation rates, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru established an annual inflation target of 2.5% within a range of one percentage point. In 2007, the target was lowered to 2%, within a range of one percentage point. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru has maintained its target inflation range ever since. The inflation rate in Peru, as measured by changes in the Metropolitan Lima consumer price index published by the INEI, was 1.4% in 2017, 2.2% in 2018, 1.9% in 2019, 2.0% in 2020 and 6.4% in 2021. In its most recent forecast as of March 2022, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru has estimated Peru’s inflation to be 3.6% in 2022 and 2.1% in 2023.

Nevertheless, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru participates in the market (buying or selling) in order to avoid any large fluctuations in the exchange rate because of the effects that it could have on the Peruvian economy, which remains partly dollarized. Because a significant portion of our subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and our consolidated financial statements are prepared in, the results reflected in our consolidated financial statements are affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates between theand the U.S. dollar.

The Peruvian government adopted a policy to encourage thecapital market and local currency yield curves. The proportion of outstanding loans in the banking system denominated in U.S. dollars has fallen from 51.0% as of December 31, 2011 to 26.0% as of December 31, 2021, according to figures published by the SBS. The percentage of deposits in the banking system denominated in U.S. dollars was approximately 47.3% as of December 31, 2011 compared to 43.0% as of December 31, 2021. Interbank’s proportion of loans ingrew from 53.2% as of December 31, 2011 to 75.8% as of December 31, 2021, while deposits inincreased from 56.8% as of December 31, 2011 to 63.4% as of December 31, 2021.

outbreak.Substantially all of Inteligo’s financial assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Monetary Policy
In April 2010, as a result of significant economic growth, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru began tightening its monetary policy, raising the reference rate. This tightening policy had the goal of mitigating speculative capital inflows and cooling the expansion of credit.
However, since the beginning of 2017, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru started loosening its monetary policy. From January 2017 to December 2020, the reference rate decreased from 4.25% to 0.25%. On March 19, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru reduced its reference rate by 100 basis points to 1.25%. Furthermore, on April 9, 2020, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru took several measures as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, including reducing the reference interest rate by another 100 basis points from 1.25% to 0.25%. In August 2021, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru started tightening its monetary policy, similar to other monetary authorities around the world. As of December 31, 2021, the reference interest rate was 2.50%.Regulatory Changes
In April 2016, a new law entered in force which allows retirees to withdraw 95.5% of their pension funds as a
one-time
transaction. As a second stage of this law, in October 2016, retirees were allowed to withdraw their pension fund in several transactions whenever desired. This regulatory change resulted in a 36% yearly contraction for the Peruvian insurance system in purchases of regular and private annuities from 2015 to 2016, according to the SBS. Interseguro was negatively affected by the law, with annuities collected of S/337.8 million in 2016, a 38% reduction compared to 2015.However, as of December 2021, the annuities market has stabilized since the introduction of private annuities, a type of annuity created to fill the vacuum left by the law. This new product, pioneered by Interseguro in October 2016 and soon followed by other providers, helped the industry recover a portion of the lost market. In 2021, private annuities accounted for 7.2% of the premiums collected in 2021 for the insurance industry. For Interseguro, private annuities represented 33.2% of its S/834.2 million in collections in annuities as of December 31, 2021.
COVID-19
and Subsequent Adjustments to the Expected Loss ModelDue to the risks and uncertainties originated by the
COVID-19
pandemic during 2020, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with SEC on April 26, 2021, and which continued throughout 2021, as well as the economic and political uncertainty in Peru during the run up to the presidential general election in 2021, Interbank assessed whether to include a series of expert judgments with the purpose of calculating the expected loss pursuant to the requirement established by IFRS 9.135
We made adjustments to the expected loss model to include in the calculation the effects of the uncertainty and risks generated by current events as of December 31, 2021. In connection with those adjustments, two expert judgments were established to stress test the possibility of default from customers due to the political situation in Peru, as follows:
(a) | Stress of the probability of default (PD) for loans in Stage 1 and Stage 2; and |
(b) | Stress for clients in Stage 3 |
Additionally, given the current uncertainty due to the outbreak of the omicron variant, new expert criteria have been applied for the new wave of infections, that could cause another cycle of loans to be rescheduled, although we would expect such an occurrence to be to a lesser extent than the previous year.
This criterion has been applied only to the credit cards portfolio, given that this portfolio was the most affected by the rescheduling process during 2020 and presented a higher impact both in relative and absolute terms on our results and, therefore, is the portfolio that may exhibit a higher sensitivity to these events.
Adoption of New Standards and Disclosures
Generally, we have only adopted standards, interpretations or amendments that were effective in each year. Therefore, standards, interpretations or amendments that become effective in 2022 or later have not been early adopted.
On January 1, 2021, we adopted for the first time the following standards, interpretations, or amendments: (i) in connection with the interest rate benchmark reform, amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”, and IFRS 16 “Leases”,– Phase 2; and (ii) in connection with
COVID-19
related rent concessions beyond June 30, 2021, an amendment to IFRS 16 “Leases”. Such standards, interpretations or amendments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 3.2 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.On January 1, 2020, we adopted for the first time the following standards, interpretations or amendments: (i) Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, (ii) Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, (iii) Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on March 29, 2018 and (iv) Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”. Such standards, interpretations or amendments did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Since January 1, 2019, we are applying: (i) IFRS 16 “Leases”, which accounting policies and impacts are described in Notes 3.4(k) and 8(e) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements; and (ii) Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, in connection with the interest rate benchmark reform, which accounting policies and impacts are described in Notes 3.4(ah) and 10(b)(vi) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
In preparing our audited annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), we apply judgment and make estimates and assumptions that may involve significant uncertainty at the time they are made. We regularly reassess those estimates and assumptions, which encompass historical experience, expectations of the future and other pertinent factors, to determine their continuing relevance based on current conditions, and we update them as necessary. Changes in estimates and assumptions may have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, our actual results may differ significantly from our estimates, which could result in significant losses to us or our subsidiaries, beyond what we anticipated or provided for.
136
Key areas involving a high degree of judgment and areas where estimates and assumptions are significant to the consolidated financial statements include:
• | the calculation of the impairment of the portfolio of loans and financial investments; |
• | the measurement of the fair value of the financial investments and investment properties; |
• | the assessment of the impairment of the goodwill; |
• | determination of terms and estimation of the applicable interest rate for lease agreements; |
• | the liabilities for insurance contracts; |
• | the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments; |
• | the estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, furniture and equipment; |
• | the estimation of assets and liabilities for deferred income tax; and |
• | the estimation of provisions for litigation. |
We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions we have made are appropriate under the circumstances and that our audited annual consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial positions of IFS as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 in accordance with IFRS.

Our assets were S/89.9 billion as of December 31, 2021, a 1.9% increase from S/88.2 billion as of December 31, 2020. This was mainly driven by growth of 3.6% in loans, net of unearned interest, 1.1% in financial investments, and a 30.8% decrease in impairment allowance for loans. These factors were partially offset by 8.8% reduction in cash, due from banks and inter-banks funds.
The increase in loans, net of unearned interest was mainly the result of higher retail loans balances at Interbank, which was primarily due to increases in consumer loans and mortgages. This increase was partially offset by lower commercial loan balances due to decreases in short and medium-term lending, as well as lower leasing operations, in both cases across all business segments. The increase in financial investments resulted from higher volumes of sovereign bonds, Central Bank Certificates of Deposits (“CDBCR”) and corporate bonds, while the decrease in cash and due from banks and inter-bank funds resulted mainly from lower deposits at the Central Bank. The decrease in impairment allowance for loans occurred mainly at Interbank.
Our liabilities reached S/80.4 billion as of December 31, 2021, a 1.4% increase from S/79.3 billion as of December 31, 2020. This was mainly driven by a 7.9% increase in bonds, notes and obligations and 3.7% in deposits and obligations, partially offset by a decrease of 12.0% in due to banks and correspondents and inter-banks funds and a 4.3% decrease in insurance contract liabilities. The increase in bonds, notes and other obligations was mainly attributable to a 10.1% depreciation in the foreign exchange rate as compared to 2020, partially offset by the execution of the optional redemption with respect to the S/110.0 million local subordinated bonds in September 2021. The annual growth in deposits and obligations was mainly explained by an increase in retail deposits, partially offset by decreases in institutional deposits and commercial deposits. The annual decrease in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds was mainly the result of a decrease in long-term funding provided by the Central Bank and COFIDE, associated with a decrease in funds being distributed under the Reactiva Peru Program, in addition to lower long-term funds from correspondent banks abroad. These effects were partially offset by higher short-term funding provided by correspondent banks abroad and COFIDE.
Our net equity was S/9.6 billion as of December 31, 2021, a 6.7% increase from S/9.0 billion as of December 31, 2020, mainly as a result of higher retained earnings.

Our net profit was S/1,800.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a more than four-fold increase as compared to 2020. The recovery in net profit was mainly driven by a significant decrease of S/2,012.4 million in impairment loss on loans and growth of S/128.9 million in other income, S/100.3 million in net fee income from financial services, and S/75.0 million in net interest and similar income. These factors were partially offset by a S/352.1 million increase in other expenses, and higher income tax.
The increase in net interest and similar income was mainly due to a higher return of the fixed income portfolio at Interseguro and lower interest and similar expenses at Inteligo. This increase was partially offset by a slight decrease in net interest and similar income at Interbank.
Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries decreased from S/2,393.9 million as of December 31, 2020 to S/381.6 million as of December 31, 2021 mainly due to the fact that those provisions recorded as of December 31, 2020 were determined considering certain post-model adjustments to capture the high uncertainty in the retail loan portfolio caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, while those provisions recorded as of December 31, 2021 were determined in light of improved credit and payment behavior during 2021. The increase in net fee income from financial services was mainly due to higher commissions across most products and services at Interbank and higher fees at Inteligo. The increase in other income was mainly due to positive performance across all three subsidiaries mainly supported by net gain of foreign exchange transactions and on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at Interbank.
The increase in other expenses is mainly due to higher administrative expenses, as well as higher salaries and employee benefits across all three subsidiaries. the increase in administrative expenses was mainly related to marketing and credit card expenses, and IT services at Interbank and the increase in salaries and employee benefits was associated with higher employee profit sharing at Interbank, in addition to promotions and recruitment of new employees, together with the effect of a higher foreign exchange rate in the cost base at Inteligo.
Our ROE was 19.3% in 2021, higher than the 4.5% reported in 2020, mainly due to a decrease in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries and an increase in other income and net fee income from financial services, as well as in net interest and similar income.

Banking
Interbank’s net results were profit of S/1,360.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net loss of S/5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The main factors that contributed to this result were the 84.2% decrease in impairment loss on loans, the 24.4% increase in other income and the 9.3% increase in net fee income from financial services. These factors were partially offset by higher income tax due to the recovery in profitability and a 16.6% increase in other expenses, in addition to a 1.4% decrease in net interest and similar income.
Interbank’s ROE was 21.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021, representing a strong recovery in profitability compared to the 2.0% recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Interest and similar income decreased 5.2% due to a 6.7% decrease in interest on loan portfolio, partially offset by a 45.5% increase in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds, and 11.6% increase in interest on financial investments.
The decrease in interest on loan portfolio was mainly due to a 110 basis point decrease in the average rate, partially offset by a 6.5% increase in average volume. The lower average rate on loans, from 9.0% in 2020 to 7.9% in 2021, was due to yield reductions in all client segments partly reflecting the effects of
low-return
loans offered to several commercial clients as part of the Reactiva Peru Program. In retail loans rates decreased on other consumer loans and mortgages. In the commercial portfolio, rates decreased on all types of loans. The higher average volume of loans was attributable to a 12.3% increase in commercial loans and an 0.8% increase in retail loans. In the commercial portfolio, the higher average volume was mainly due to a 14.3% increase in short and medium-term loans, attributable to disbursement of loans under the Reactiva Peru Program, as well as a 10.4% increase in trade finance loans. In the retail portfolio, average volumes grew due to a 10.9% increase in mortgages, partially offset by a 5.2% decrease in the average balance of consumer loans.Interest due from banks and inter-bank funds increased by S/12.5 million, or 45.5%, primarily as a result of 23.8% growth in the average volume and a relatively stable nominal average rate. The increase in the average volume was explained by higher deposits at the Central Bank, partially offset by a lower average balance of inter-bank funding and reserve funds.
The increase in interest on financial investments was primarily the result of an increase in average volumes, partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in the average yield. The increase in the average volume was mainly the result of higher average balances of sovereign bonds, CDBCR and global bonds. The decrease in the nominal average rate, from 3.3% in 2020 to 2.8% in 2021, was mainly explained by lower returns on all types of securities, especially CDBCR and corporate bonds from financial institutions.
As a result of the above, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 100 basis points, from 6.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Interest and similar expense decreased 15.2% mainly due to a 31.0% decrease in interest on deposits and obligations, and a 13.9% decrease in interest on due to banks and correspondents, partially offset by an 8.7% increase in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations.
Interest and fees on deposits and obligations decreased mainly due to a 50 basis point reduction in the average cost, from 1.3% in 2020 to 0.8% in 2021 due to lower interest rate environment which resulted in a decrease in rates payable on institutional, retail and commercial deposits, partially offset by 14.4% increase in average volumes across all client segments. By currency, average balances of soles-denominated deposits increased 11.1% while average dollar-denominated deposits increased 21.4%.
Interest and fees on obligations with financial institutions and others decreased from 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 1.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021, mainly due to a 70 basis point decrease in the average cost mainly due to lower rates payable on all types of funding, especially that provided by correspondent banks abroad and inter-bank funds, partially offset by 18.5% increase in the average volume. The increase in the average volume was due to higher funding provided by the Central Bank and COFIDE.
Interest on bonds, notes and other obligations increased mainly due to 10.5% increase in the average volume, mainly attributable to a 10.6% decrease in the average foreign exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The average cost of funds decreased 50 basis points, from 2.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 1.5% for the year ended December 31, 2021, in line with the lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries decreased from S/2,393.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to S/379.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 mainly reflecting the fact that those provisions recorded as of December 31, 2020 were determined considering certain post-model adjustments to capture the high uncertainty in the retail loan portfolio caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, while those provisions recorded as of December 31, 2021 were determined in light of improved credit and payment behavior during 2021. This decrease in impairment loss on loans was partially offset by higher provision requirements in the commercial portfolio, mainly related to loan exposures to SMEs.
Interbank’s coverage ratio decreased from 181.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 131.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

Other expenses increased 16.6% for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, mainly as a result of higher administrative expenses and salaries and employee benefits. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to higher marketing and credit card expenses and IT services. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due to higher employee profit sharing, which in turn was due to the increase in net profit. Investments in digital ventures also played a significant role in the increase in our other expenses.
Our efficiency ratio was 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to 38.6% recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020.

This result was partially offset by higher income tax in our banking segment.
Insurance
Interseguro’s profit attributable to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was S/272.7 million compared to a S/141.1 million profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 mainly due to a S/114.4 million increase in net interest and similar income, primarily due to higher returns on the fixed income portfolio, a S/67.0 million recovery from prior impairment of financial investments and S/33.0 million increase in other income.

Net premiums increased 69.0% mainly due to increases of (i) S/366.0 million in annuities primarily attributable to a market expansion of survivorship annuities, as a result of higher mortality due to the
COVID-19
pandemic, (ii) S/42.0 million in individual life primarily explained by a 28% increase in the sales force headcount and continued growth in online sales, and (iii) S/16.8 million in retail insurance premiums primarily due to SOAT recovery and increases in sales from digital products such as car insurance and travel insurance.Adjustment of Technical Reserves

Adjustment of technical reserves increased more than three-fold mainly due to a S/257.9 million increases in annuities, S/22.2 million increase in retail insurance and S/14.4 million increase in individual life. The increase in technical reserves was mostly related to (i) increased sales, particularly for annuities, and (ii) higher technical reserves for inflation-indexed annuities due to an increase in the inflation rate.

Wealth Management
Inteligo’s net profit was S283.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a 16.6% increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. This result was mainly attributable to 27.7% increase in other income due to strong investment results for the year, and 20.1% increase in fee income from financial services, in part supported by the effect of a higher foreign exchange results in these two revenue lines.
/
Inteligo’s ROE was 23.0% for the year ended December 31, 2021, lower than the 28.0% registered for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was mainly attributable to an increase in shareholders’ equity which in turn was mainly attributed to increases in accumulated results and the effect on equity of a higher foreign exchange rate due to the depreciation of theagainst the U.S. dollar in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Our assets were S/88.2 billion as of December 31, 2020, a 23.3% increase from S/71.6 billion as of December 31, 2019. This was mainly driven by 67.5% growth in cash, due from banks and inter-bank funds, 27.3% in financial investments, 12.9% in loans, net of unearned interest, and 39.5% in other assets.
The increase in cash, due from banks and inter-bank funds was mainly due to higher deposits at the Central Bank from Interbank.
The increase in loans, net of unearned interest was mainly the result of higher commercial loans balances due to growth in short and medium-term loans at Interbank, primarily as a result of the disbursement of loans under the Reactiva Peru Program. This increase was partially offset by lower retail loans balances at Interbank, which was primarily due to decreases in credit cards and other consumer loans.
The increase in financial investments was mainly explained by higher balances of Peruvian sovereign bonds at Interbank.
Our liabilities reached S/79.3 billion as of December 31, 2020, a 26.5% increase from S/62.7 billion as of December 31, 2019. This was mainly driven by a more than
two-fold
increase in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds, and a 23.8% increase in deposits and obligations. Growth in due to banks and correspondents and inter-bank funds was mostly explained by higher long-term funding from the Central Bank, associated with the bank’s participation in the auctions of funds for the Reactiva Peru Program, and an increase in funding from Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo S.A. (“COFIDE”), at Interbank, while the increase in deposits and obligations was due to higher retail, commercial and institutional deposits at Interbank.Our net equity was S/9.0 billion as of December 31, 2020, a 0.6% increase from S/8.9 billion as of December 31, 2019, mainly driven by higher reserves and net unrealized results, partially offset by lower retained earnings from net profit for 2020.

Our net profit was S/383.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a 73.6% decrease as compared to 2019. The lower profits were mainly driven by an increase of S/1,643.1 million in impairment loss on loans and a decrease of S/202.4 million in net fee income from financial services. These results were partially offset by a S/184.7 million increase in other income and a S/49.4 million increase in net interest and similar income, in addition to a S/67.7 decrease in other expenses and a positive effect on deferred income tax.
The increase in net interest and similar income was mainly due to higher interest on investments at Interseguro and an increase in dividends received from investments at Inteligo. At Interbank, net interest and similar income remained relatively stable when compared to 2019.
Impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries increased from S/750.8 million as of December 31, 2019 to S/2,393.9 million as of December 31, 2020 mainly as a result of the post-model adjustments on the bank’s expected credit loss to address the impact of thevaluations on investments at Inteligo.

pandemic, mainly for loans that have been rescheduled. The decrease in net fee income from financial services was mainly due to lower income from commissions from credit card services, maintenance and mailing of accounts, transfer fees and commissions on debit card services at Interbank. The increase in other income was mainly due to positive performance across all three subsidiaries, particularly from net gain on sale of securities at Interseguro and positivemark-to-market
Other income grew as a result of recovery across all three subsidiaries, particularly from net gain on sale of securities at Interseguro and positivevaluations on investments at Inteligo.
mark-to-market
The decrease in other expenses is mainly due to decreases in salaries and employee benefits, as well as in marketing and credit card expenses, both at Interbank, in addition to lower administrative expenses at Interseguro. These decreases were driven by cost containment measures implemented to offset the impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic.Our ROE was 4.5% in 2020, lower than the 18.3% reported in 2019, mainly due to an increase in impairment loss on loans, net of recoveries and a decrease in net fee income from financial services.

Interbank’s net results were almost break-even for the year ended December 31, 2020, with a net loss of S/5.7 million compared to profits of S/1,228.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The main factors that contributed to this result were the more than three-fold increase in impairment loss on loans and the 25.1% decrease in net fee income from financial services. These results were partially offset by a positive effect on deferred income tax and a decrease of 4.8% in other expenses due to cost containment measures implemented to offset certain impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic.154
In addition, Interbank’s results in 2020 were affected by (i) a S/130.4 million decrease in interest income as a result of the initial impact of the contractual cash flows modification due to the loan rescheduling schemes offered to customers affected by the
COVID-19
pandemic, which does not consider any positive impact of the recovery between the date of initial recording and December 31, 2020; and (ii) the base effect ofnon-recurring
transactions in 2019 such as the gain on sale of Interfondos, Interbank’s former mutual funds subsidiary, to Inteligo for S/32.4 million after taxes; as well as the S/29.0 million after taxnon-recurring
impact of the liability management transaction in 2019.Interbank’s adjusted ROE, as presented in “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business
Overview—Non-GAAP
Financial Measures” was 21.3% in the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not make adjustments to ROE.Interest and Similar Income

Interest and similar income decreased 5.8% due to a 74.5% decrease in interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds, and a 5.0% decrease in interest on loans, partially offset by a 14.8% increase in interest on financial investments.
Interest on due from banks and inter-bank funds decreased by S/80.1 million, or 74.5%, primarily as a result of a 90 basis points decrease in the nominal average rate and a 43.4% increase in the average volume. The decrease in the nominal average rate was mainly due to lower returns on deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank. The increase in the average volume was mainly due to higher deposits and reserve funds at the Central Bank, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of inter-bank funds.
The decrease in interest on loan portfolio was mainly due to a 190 basis point decrease in the average rate, partially offset by a 14.9% increase in average volume. The higher average volume of loans was primarily the result of a 26.4% increase in commercial loans and 5.3% increase in retail loans. In the commercial portfolio, the higher average volume was mainly due to a 41.7% increase in short and medium-term loans, mainly due to the disbursement of loans under the Reactiva Peru Program, despite lower balances of leasing operations and trade finance loans. In the retail portfolio, average volumes grew due to a 9.0% increase in mortgages and a 4.3% increase in payroll deduction loans, partially offset by a 0.3% decrease in the average balance of credit cards.
The increase in interest on financial investments was primarily the result of an increase in the average volume, partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in the average yield. The increase in the average volume was mainly the result of higher average balances of Peruvian sovereign bonds. The decrease in the nominal average interest rate, from 3.8% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 3.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020, was mainly due to lower returns across most investments.
As a result of the above, the nominal average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 190 basis points, from 8.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 6.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Nominal average rate | 2.0 | % | 3.0 | % | — | — |
Interest and similar expense decreased 18.3% mainly due a 24.4% decrease in interest on deposits and obligations, and 17.2% decrease in interest on bonds, notes and other obligations, partially offset by a 4.9% increase in interest on due to banks and correspondents.
Interest and fees on deposits and obligations decreased mainly due to an 80 basis point decrease in the average cost, from 2.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 1.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020, partially offset by a 19.8% increase in the average volume. The lower average cost was due to a decrease on rates paid to institutional, commercial and retail deposits. The increase in volumes was observed across all client segments. By currency, average balances of soles-denominated deposits increased 27.8% while average dollar-denominated deposits increased 5.8%.
Interest on bonds, notes and other obligations decreased mainly due to: (i) a lower interest rate environment which was associated with liability management transactions executed throughout 2020, such as the redemption of internationalrate bonds in April 2020 followed by the issuance of a new international subordinated bond in July 2020 at a lower interest rate; (ii) lower interest expenses associated with the maturity of Certificates of Deposit for S/150.0 million in March 2020; and (iii) the base effect from the execution of an optional redemption of the prevailing “5.75% Senior Notes due 2020” corporate bonds during the fourth quarter of 2019, which implied a
fixed-to-floating
non-recurring
financial expense of S/42.3 million in such quarter, as these bonds were being negotiated above its face value (above par).Interest and fees on obligations with financial institutions and others increased mainly due to an 83.5% increase in the average volume, partially offset by a 180 basis point decrease in the average cost, from 4.2% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 2.4% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in the average volume was due to higher funding provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, related to the bank’s participation in the Reactiva Peru Program. The decrease in the average cost was explained by lower rates paid on types of funding, especially inter-bank funds and those provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru.
The average cost of funds decreased 100 basis points, from 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 2.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020, in line with the lower cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

COVID-19
pandemic, mainly for loans that have been rescheduled.Interbank’s coverage ratio for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased to 181.5% from 117.7% as of the year ended December 31, 2019, as a result of higher impairment allowances for credit card loans mainly because the risks and uncertainties arising from
COVID-19
have not been adequately reflected in the statistical models, mainly for loans that have been rescheduled. Interbank applied several post-model adjustments for these loans with the aim of determining the expected credit losses.Fee Income from Financial Services, Net

Income Before Translation Result and Income Tax
For the year ended December 31, 2020, results before translation result and income tax were a loss of S/80.2 million for the reasons described above, which result was almost completely offset by the positive effect on deferred income tax. As a result of the above, our banking segment’s results were a net loss of S/5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to net profit of S/1,228.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The main factors that contributed to this result were a S/32.7 million increase in other income, mainly due to net gain on sale of securities, and a S/30.9 million increase in net interest and similar income, as well as to a S/12.7 million decrease in other expenses, mainly related to cost containment measures implemented during the year to mitigate the impact of the
COVID-19

Adjustment of technical reserves | (100.8 | ) | (268.7 | ) | (167.9 | ) | (62.5 | )% |
Adjustment of technical reserves decreased 62.5% mainly due to decreases of S/137.4 million in annuities, S/20.3 million in individual life and S/10.2 million in retail insurance. The decrease in technical reserves for annuities was attributable to a release of technical reserves for annuities, mostly related to (i) a higher mortality rate resulting from the
COVID-19
pandemic, and (ii) the effect of lower sales.Net Claims and Benefits Incurred for Life Insurance Contracts and Others

Other expenses decreased S/12.8 million in 2020 when compared to 2019, mainly due to lower administrative expenses as a result of efficiencies implemented throughout the year to mitigate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic.Wealth Management
Inteligo’s net profit was S243.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a 21.4% increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The main factor that contributed to this result was an increase in other income of 82.4%, mainly due to strong investment results for the year, partially offset by slightly higher other expenses.
/
Inteligo’s ROE was 28.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020, higher than the 24.7% registered for the year ended December 31, 2019. This was mainly attributable to a higher net profit, which in turn was due to growth of 82.4% in other income, despite an increase in shareholders’ equity due to an increase in retained earnings.

Total other expenses grew 3.8% mainly due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by a S/3.8 million decrease in depreciation and amortization. This decrease in depreciation and amortization was mainly attributable to ending of the amortization period in connection with expenses for Inteligo Bank’s core banking system in January 2020.
Inteligo’s efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing salaries and employee benefits plus administrative expenses plus depreciation and amortization by net interest and similar income plus net fee income from financial services plus other income. Our wealth management segment’s efficiency ratio improved from 37.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 33.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020, mainly due to higher net interest income and other income, despite the slight increase in expenses.
B. | Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Our primary source of liquidity is dividends received from our subsidiaries and an issuance of senior debt and our primary use of funds is the payment of dividends to our shareholders and interest payments associated with the indebtedness described below.
As of December 31, 2021, our outstanding indebtedness included the following:
• | U.S.$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2027 issued pursuant to the indenture, dated October 19, 2017 among the Registrant, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as Luxembourg transfer and paying agent. |

In our banking segment, our primary sources of funds have traditionally consisted of deposits and obligations, which amounted to S/44,966.3 million as of December 31, 2021. Interbank’s deposits include retail and commercial deposits, generated mainly through its digital channels, financial stores distribution network, and its relationships with commercial clients.
Interbank is required to maintain deposits with the Central Reserve Bank of Peru, as legal reserve, in an amount determined by the percentage of deposits and other liabilities owed to its clients. For a description of the legal reserveregulations, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision—Banking Regulation and Supervision—Reserve Requirements from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru”.
(encaje)
At times, Interbank has utilized Peru’s short-term interbank loans market to satisfy liquidity needs. The Central Reserve Bank of Peru’s discount window, which makes short-term loans to banks at premium rates, is another potential short-term funding source; although, Interbank has used it infrequently. As part of Interbank’s liquidity management, it sometimes enters into repos on Central Reserve Bank of Peru certificates of deposit, which are a cost and tax efficient source of funds in Peruvian currency.
Amounts due to banks and correspondents of Interbank (including both short and long-term amounts) decreased S/1,275.5 million, or 13.6%, to S/8,112.7 million as of December 31, 2021 from S/9,388.1 million as of December 31, 2020, as a result of a reduction in the long-term funding provided by the Central Bank and COFIDE, associated with a decrease in funds available for the Reactiva Peru Program, in addition to a decrease in long-term funds from correspondent banks abroad.
Interbank has issued senior, senior-subordinated, junior-subordinated, mortgage and leasing bonds in the Peruvian and international capital markets.
Outstanding Indebtedness of Interbank
As of December 31, 2021, Interbank’s outstanding indebtedness included the following:
• | U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% subordinated notes due 2029 issued by Interbank on March 18, 2014. |
• | U.S.$200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior notes due 2023 (the “2023 notes”) issued by Interbank on January 18, 2018. Interbank executed an exchange offer that resulted in a further issuance of U.S.$ 284.9 million of its 2023 notes. The total aggregate amount is U.S.$ 484.9 million as of December 31, 2021. Furthermore, the exchange did not generate a substantial change in the terms and conditions of the financial liability; therefore, no new financial obligation was recognized. The transactional costs associated with these exchanged bonds will continue to be amortized based on the new issuance schedule. |
165
• | U.S.$400.0 million principal amount of 3.250% senior notes due 2026 issued by Interbank on October 4, 2019, in connection with a tender offer for its 5.750% senior notes due 2020. Following the tender offer, Interbank redeemed the remaining 5.750% senior notes due 2020. |
• | S/312.0 million principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2026 issued by Interbank on October 1, 2019. |
• | U.S.$300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.000% subordinated notes due 2030 issued by Interbank on July 8, 2020. |

The credit facility agreement includes standard clauses regarding the compliance of financial ratios and other administrative matters, as described in our audited financial statements and related notes. |
Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, the following represents individual amounts of local debt from a total amount of U.S.$159.8 million, which includes local subordinated bonds of S/487.3 million (U.S.$122.2 million) which qualify as second tier equity (“Tier 2”) in the determination of the regulatory capital, according to SBS, S/150 million (U.S.$37.6 million) of local corporate inflation-linked bonds at the nominal exchange rate of S/3.987 as of December 31, 2021.
These bonds do not have specific guarantees:
• | S/137.9 million aggregate principal amount of 6.91% fixed rate subordinated notes due 2022 issued by Interbank on June 25, 2012. The issuance does not have specific guarantees and, according to SBS regulation, qualify as Tier 2 in the determination of the regulatory capital, as described in our audited financial statements and related notes. |
• | S/150.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.81% fixed rate subordinated notes due 2023 issued by Interbank on January 11, 2013. The issuance does not have specific guarantees and, according to SBS regulation, qualify as Tier 2 in the determination of the regulatory capital, as described in our audited financial statements and related notes. |
• | U.S.$50.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% fixed rate subordinated notes due 2023 issued by Interbank on December 13, 2013.

Interbank issued those bonds on September 10, 2008, for 15 years. Therefore, on September 30, 2021, Interbank executed the optional redemption of the mentioned issuance, which does not have specific guarantees and, according to SBS regulation, does not generate any material impact on the Tier 2 regulatory capital.
Additional outstanding indebtedness is mainly related to short term bank facilities for working capital and general purposes.
As of the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
Interbank complies with all the covenants described above and not subject to any other such obligations.Interseguro
Interseguro’s primary source of funds is premiums collected, carry from fixed income investments, dividends on equity investments and real estate leases.

low-cost,
diverse and stable source of funding. Amounts due to banks and correspondents consist of the credit facilities provided to Inteligo Bank.Deposits and obligations increased S/1,316.3 million or 46.1% from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, mainly attributable to the uncertainty generated in connection with political developments in Peru during the year, which lead to an outflow of capital from the country. Funds due to banks and correspondents decreased S/117.2 million or 39.0% from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, mainly explained by the partial repayment of Inteligo Bank’s credit facility with Banque J. Safra Sarasin SA.

Interseguro
Interseguro is required to maintain a minimum regulatory capital, also known as solvency equity, pursuant to guidelines issued by the SBS. The capital requirement is the sum of solvency equity and the guarantee fund. Solvency equity is determined by the level of risk and the risk profile assumed by an insurance company in Peru in accordance with SBS regulations. The guarantee fund is equivalent to 35% of solvency equity. See Note 16(f) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements and “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision” in this Annual Report on Form

Banking regulations on capital adequacy in The Bahamas take into account the recommendations of the Basel I Committee. The Central Bank of The Bahamas implemented Basel III requirements regarding capital adequacy in 2016. Its guidelines for the management of capital provide that Inteligo’s regulatory capital must be equal to or greater than 8.0% of its total risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are the sum of (i) the total amount of credit risk weighted assets and indirect loans, (ii) 10 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover market risk, only if the bank’s market risk position is higher than (a) 5% of the total
on-
andoff-balance
sheet assets, or (b) U.S.$100 million, and (iii) 12.5 times the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risk. As of December 31, 2021, Inteligo Bank’s ratio of regulatory capital to total risk-weighted assets was 24.4%. In November 2020, the Central Bank of The Bahamas released a draft of The Bahamas capital regulations and reforms to the guidelines for the management of capital and the calculation of capital adequacy, which ended its consultation period in January 2021 and was shared with the Bahamian government during the third quarter of 2021 for final endorsement and release. The Bahamas capital regulations include changes to the methodology for the calculation of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital that could adversely impact Inteligo Bank’s capital adequacy ratio. Currently, a date has not been defined for the implementation of these regulations. In 2018, the Central Bank of The Bahamas published two discussion papers focused on minimum disclosures (Pillar III of the Basel II framework) and the net stable funding ratio and the liquidity coverage ratio (main components of Basel III), but its liquidity framework will be implemented after the completion of the capital framework.In Peru, Inteligo SAB is regulated by the SMV, which is responsible for determining the minimum capital requirement for the companies under its supervision. As of December 31, 2021, the capital requirement for brokerage houses is the sum of (i) the minimum regulatory capital required of S/2.0 million; and (ii) the regulatory capital allocated to cover operational risks. As of December 31, 2021, Inteligo SAB held capital exceeding S/22 million.

Capital Expenditures Program
We have made significant investments and in particular, in our banking segment. Interbank has made substantial investments in recent years targeting both digital and physical infrastructure. Some of the key investments include:
• | significant improvements in our digital platform, including new functionalities and a complete new customer interface aimed to enhance user experience, in both retail and commercial segments; |
• | building up of data and implementation of tools to improve our CRM and risk analytical capabilities to better understand our customers; |
• | strengthening our data center through an outsourcing contract with IBM; |
• | the renewal of a large portion of our ATM network to be able to provide new functionalities with an omni-channel approach; and |
• | significant improvement of our operational efficiency. |
Interbank believes that it has built the foundations to capture current and future market opportunities and continue to grow. It has a capital expenditure plan to ensure the accomplishment of its medium-term strategic plan, as it believes that not only operating efficiency and proximity to its customers, but also digital transformation and innovation, are key competitive advantages.
While we budget for investments across our subsidiaries, Interbank accounts for the substantial majority or our capital expenditures budget. We budget for year long periods. Interbank’s budget for capital expenditures for the next three years is approximately S/774 million. Of this budget, approximately 85.7% is related to information technology expenditures including investments in our digital platform. Some of the key technological expenditures include:
• | develop new business ideas and business models; |
• | intensify analytical capabilities through data, big data, artificial intelligence and real time decision, to enrich our understanding of Peruvian clients; |
• | improve customer experience through digital solutions, including products, services, and processes; |
• | strengthen operational efficiency and productivity through robotic process automation; |
• | update our cybersecurity standards to protect our customers; and |
• | migrate and develop new applications through the cloud. |
Interseguro has invested in technology and projects to support its rapidly expanding operations. It has implemented an operations system in order to support Interseguro’s planned growth in individual life and retail insurance products, a CRM platform, robotic process automation (RPA) to automate processes and look for operational efficiency, in addition to improving such processes and freeing up resources. Interseguro also has introduced its new 100% digital products such as car insurance, travel insurance, vida free and vida cash. Interseguro has also implemented and digitized the process of analysis of needs for life insurance products, which allows the company to issue insurance policies without a physical application form.
Additionally, Interseguro continues improving business intelligence capabilities such as Datalake which allows the consolidation of information from different Interseguro systems to generate a unique customer base for the creation of predictive models.
In our wealth management segment, Inteligo SAB and Inteligo Peru Holdings implemented a new core system ”SAP Business One” to automate back-office activities like accounting, budgeting and purchasing. Inteligo Bank has continued working on complementing its IT infrastructure and further developing of its technology platform, which will allow it to leverage its existing CRM platform and develop stronger business intelligence capabilities.

D. | Trend Information |
As of December 31, 2021, we had total assets of S/90.0 billion (approximately U.S.$ 22.6 billion), total gross loans of S/44.7 billion (approximately U.S.$11.2 billion), total deposits and obligations of S/48.9 billion (approximately U.S.$12.3 billion) and shareholders’ equity of S/9.6 billion (approximately U.S.$2.4 billion).
Substantially all of our subsidiaries’ operations are conducted in Peru. Accordingly, our results of operations and financial condition are dependent on economic conditions, consumer spending and investment levels in Peru.
The economic impacts of the
COVID-19
pandemic were compounded by the slowdown that the Peruvian economy has experienced in recent years, which had already intensified due to several factors, including (i) a strong El Niño phenomenon, which adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism and commercial activity, and resulted in a 1.5% drop in GDP growth in 2017; (ii) corruption scandals related to the activities of certain Brazilian and Peruvian companies in the construction sector, which resulted in suspension or delay of important infrastructure projects during 2018; and (iii) political instability, as Peru has suffered a series of government institutional crises starting in 2018 due to, among other things, several corruption scandals involving prominent political figures, which have resulted in resignations and impeachment, including that of former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 and former President Martín Vizcarra in 2020, as well as investigations of certain members of the judicial system and the public ministry who are now facing prosecution. Despite these factors and continued political corruption scandals, the Peruvian economy continued to outperform its peer countries in 2019, supported by solid macroeconomic fundamentals and strong fiscal and monetary policies.In 2020, Peru experienced an 11.0% GDP contraction as a result of the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic, and in particular the impact of the lockdown and mobility restrictions implemented by the Peruvian government to contain the spread of the pandemic, which in turn resulted in (i) lower employment, (ii) postponement of investment projects, and (iii) restricted access to goods and services. As a result of the reductions in private consumption and gross fixed investment, domestic demand decreased 9.8% during the year.At the beginning of 2021, Peru continued to struggle from the effects of the pandemic but started to recover over time as targeted lockdowns decreased and were eventually lifted and the vaccination program accelerated. The recovery was mainly driven by domestic demand-oriented sectors, improved trade terms, higher private consumption, and the base effect of such improvements as compared to 2020. Nevertheless, such improved economic landscape was negatively affected by the uncertainty that arose in the run up to the presidential and congressional elections that took place in April 2021. These political events contributed to a slowdown in GDP growth, volatility of the exchange rate and weakening of the local currency, which in turn also affected inflation. As a result of these factors, the Peruvian GDP grew 13.3% in 2021. We are continuing to manage the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic by taking action across the various levels in the organization to provide continuity and flexibility to our clients. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Trend Information” in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021.The following are the most important trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to affect us or that would cause the financial information disclosed herein not to be indicative of or have a material adverse effect on our future operating results or financial condition:
• | Our businesses and prospects rely on a market-oriented economy, and potential political changes following the upcoming elections may alter the current economic model and business environment. |
• | Our subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation and supervision, and changes in existing regulations or the implementation of future regulations. |
• | The adoption of new international banking and insurance guidelines may cause our subsidiaries to require additional capital and could cause their cost of funds to increase. |
• | Intense competition from other banking, insurance and financial institutions, and from other players including providers of emerging financial technologies. |
174
• | Our loans, deposits, asset quality and our profits have all experienced substantial growth, benefitting from growth in the Peruvian economy. However, economic, social and political developments in Peru, including political instability, high profile corruption investigations, inflation and unemployment may cease to support our historically strong growth. |
• | Our capital and funding requirements as well as our client activity and our clients’ ability to repay loans could be affected by continued adverse developments and market uncertainties relating to the COVID-19 outbreak, which has resulted in significant and unexpected volatility in equity and credit markets. |
• | Cyber-security events, earthquakes, other natural disasters, health epidemics (including the current COVID-19 pandemic) and other outbreaks could negatively affect our reputation and the operations of Interbank, Interseguro, Interfondos and Inteligo SAB. |
For more information regarding potential economic or regulatory factors that could affect our result of operations or financial condition, see “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors”, “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Strategy”, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results” and “Forward-Looking Statements”.

The three Agents are siblings. The initial period of the Irrevocable Proxy Agreement was two years commencing June 2019 automatically renewable for six-month periods unless otherwise terminated upon 90 days’ notice. On May 20, 2021, the Irrevocable Proxy was renewed and ratified with effectiveness as of June 12, 2021 under the same terms originally agreed, including automatic renewals forsix-month periods unless otherwise terminated upon 90 days’ notice.

As of December 31, 2021, IFS and its subsidiaries held 30,074 common shares in treasury stock. For more details regarding these shares, see “Item 16E – Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers” and Note 16(b) to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
B. | Related Party Transactions |
In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries, Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo, engage in a variety of transactions among ourselves and with certain of our affiliates and related parties. All material transactions between us or our subsidiaries and our other affiliates or related parties are evaluated by our senior management and our board in accordance with specific regulations and internal rules applicable to all third-party transactions. These transactions are subject to prevailing market conditions and transfer pricing regulations.
Interbank extends loans to related parties, including its executive officers and directors and executive officers and directors of our affiliates, in accordance with Peruvian law and regulations established by the SBS. According to the SBS, loans to related parties cannot be made on more favorable terms than those offered to the public, with the exception of mortgage loans granted to workers for housing purposes. As a result, all related-party loans have been made in the ordinary course of business, on an
arm’s-length
basis and on substantially the same terms, including with respect to interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions offered to the public. In addition, related-party loans do not involve greater collection risk nor present other features unfavorable to Interbank as compared to loans offered to the public. Peruvian law and SBS regulations also set forth limitations on the amount of credit loans that may be extended to related parties based on Article 201 and Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law. The law establishes that the total amount of loans to be extended to directors, employees and close relatives of any such persons may not exceed 7.0% of the bank’s regulatory capital. All loans extended to any director or employee of the company (including close relatives of such person) may not exceed 0.35% of the regulatory capital (i.e., 5.0% of the overall 7.0% limit discussed above).In addition, under Article 202 of the Peruvian Banking and Insurance Law, no loans extended to related parties or affiliates may exceed 30.0% of a bank’s regulatory capital. Under these laws, related-party borrowers include any corporation holding, directly or indirectly, 4.0% or more of a bank’s shares, such bank’s directors, certain of its principal executive officers or other persons affiliated with such bank’s management or any individual or entity that is deemed to have a significant influence in its operations.
188
Peruvian regulations also set forth limits on the investments of insurance companies. Pursuant to SBS regulations, the aggregate amount of investments that Interseguro may have with any member of its economic group cannot exceed 7.0% of its technical obligations, being that any excess will be considered as
non-eligible
investment.Furthermore, under Peruvian law, board members and executive officers of Interbank and Interseguro, may not (i) receive loans (in money or goods) from the company unless approved by the board of directors, (ii) use for their own benefit, the company’s assets, services or credits unless approved by the board of directors, (iii) disclose or use, inappropriately, for their own benefit, privileged information, and (iv) participate in any corporate decision that presents a conflict of interest with the company. In all cases, the execution of agreements that involve at least 5.0% of the assets of the company with persons or entities related to directors, managers or shareholders that own, directly or indirectly, more than 10.0% of the share capital requires the prior authorization of the board of directors (with no participation of the director(s) involved in the transaction, if any). In addition, the execution of agreements with a party controlled by the company’s controlling shareholder requires the prior authorization of the board of directors and an evaluation of the terms of the transaction by an external independent company (audit companies or other evaluator to be determined by the SMV).
During 2019, 2020 and 2021, IFS’s directors, officers and key management had been involved, directly and indirectly, in credit transactions with certain subsidiaries of IFS, as permitted by applicable Peruvian laws and regulations that regulate and limit certain transactions with employees, directors and officers of financial entities. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, direct loans by IFS or its subsidiaries to employees, directors, officers, and key management of IFS and its subsidiaries amounted to S/213.0 million, S/222.1 million and S/231.5 million, respectively. These loans are current and accrue interest at market rates. Payment dates vary, and may be monthly, quarterly, or at maturity. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Regulation and Supervision” for information on the regulation of IFS and its subsidiaries and on the protection of deposits.
Inteligo Bank is operating pursuant to its original license, which commencing in 2020 permits a related party exposure of up to 15% of its capital, a decrease from the prior 25% maximum. As of December 31, 2021, the exposure was 5.47%.
For additional information about loans, including tabular disclosure, to, and certain other transactions with, related parties and affiliates including directors and officers, see Note 27 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.
In the normal course of our operations, related party transactions are evaluated in accordance with Peruvian banking and securities regulations, as described in this section. These transactions are subject to prevailing market conditions and transfer pricing regulations. We and our subsidiaries have a number of such transactions with our parent company, subsidiaries of our parent company, affiliates pursuant to the criteria of the SBS and other related parties. See “Presentation of Financial Information” for a brief description of a number of these parties. For additional information including tabular disclosure, about loans, to, and certain other transactions with, related parties and affiliates including directors and officers, see Note 27 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings
IFS is not involved in any legal or arbitration proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position.
Interbank is involved in a number of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its banking activities. Interbank is also a party to a number of legal proceedings related to labor disputes with former employees and tax disputes with the tax authority. For more information on the tax disputes, see Note 17 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form
20-F.
Interseguro is routinely involved in legal or arbitration proceedings with respect to liabilities that are the subject of policy claims. These liabilities are taken into account in setting Interseguro’s technical reserves.
Inteligo Bank is involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its banking operations. Inteligo Bank has been named as a defendant in the following litigation matters:
• | A lawsuit filed on September 2, 2010 by the liquidators of Fairfield Sentry Limited (“Fairfield”). |
• | A lawsuit filed on October 6, 2011 by Irving Picard, the Trustee for Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (“BLMIS”). |
These lawsuits seek the return of approximately U.S.$11 million in redemption payments received by Inteligo Bank in connection with investments in Fairfield, a BLMIS feeder fund.
On March 6, 2017, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) dismissed the lawsuit filed by Irving Picard. On February 25, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the “Second Circuit”) issued a decision reversing that dismissal. On May 2, 2019, the Second Circuit granted a motion filed by defendants, including Inteligo Bank, to stay issuance of its mandate in the appeal pending the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on the defendants’ petition for certiorari. On August 30, 2019, Inteligo Bank, together with other defendants, filed a joint petition for certiorari, seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the Second Circuit’s decision. On June 1, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition for certiorari, and the Second Circuit issued a mandate remanding these matters to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
A motion to dismiss the Fairfield liquidators’ lawsuit was filed on January 13, 2017. On December 6, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court granted the motion to dismiss with some specific exceptions, resulting in the dismissal of most of the liquidators’ claims against Inteligo Bank. On April 2, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order that dismissed most of the Fairfield liquidator’s claims against Inteligo Bank and established a briefing schedule for subsequent motion to dismiss briefing to address whether the liquidators’ remaining claims should also be dismissed. On May 2, 2019, the liquidators filed a notice of appeal in this action reflecting their intention to appeal the Bankruptcy Court’s partial dismissal to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court”). The liquidators filed equivalent notices of appeal in the many other actions in which claims had been dismissed pursuant to the December 6, 2018 decision. That appeal was fully briefed with the District Court as of April 23, 2020. Separately, on March 16, 2020, Inteligo Bank, together with other defendants, filed a renewed motion to dismiss with the Bankruptcy Court seeking dismissal of the remaining claims that had not been dismissed pursuant to the December 6, 2018 decision. On December 14, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court granted that motion to dismiss the liquidators’ remaining claims, with some specific exceptions not applicable to Inteligo Bank.
193
On February 25, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing the remaining claims against Inteligo Bank for the reasons set forth in its December 14, 2020 decision, and directing that judgment be entered for Inteligo Bank in the action. On March 8, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final judgment in the liquidators’ lawsuit against Inteligo Bank, which dismissed the proceedings with prejudice. On March 29, 2021, the liquidators filed a notice of appeal in their lawsuit against Inteligo Bank, reflecting their intention to challenge the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal of the case. On or around the same date, the liquidators filed equivalent notices of appeal in the many other actions in which claims had been dismissed pursuant to the December 14, 2020 decision. The liquidators filed their opening brief in these appeals on July 21, 2021. The defendants’ joint opposition brief was filed on October 19, 2021, and the liquidators’ reply brief was filed on December 3, 2021.

On October 19, 2017 we entered into an indenture among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, and The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch, as Luxembourg transfer and paying agent in connection with the issuance of U.S.$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2027. The use of proceeds was to fund the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Seguros Sura S.A. and Hipotecaria Sura Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria S.A. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

administration or money laundering or committing equivalent crimes, as set forth in Law No. 30737 (A law that ensures the immediate payment of the compensation to the State in cases of corruption and other crimes), which restricts the transfer of both local and foreign currency abroad.
Non-Peruvian
equity holders are allowed to purchase foreign currency at free market currency rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system and transfer such foreign currency outside Peru without restriction. Peruvian law in the past, however, has imposed restrictions on the conversion of Peruvian currency and the transfer of funds abroad, and we cannot assure holders of our common shares that Peruvian law will continue to permit such payments, transfers, conversions or remittances without restrictions. In addition, under Panamanian law, there are currently no exchange control restrictions imposed on payments made in U.S. dollars. There can be no assurance, however, that Peruvian and Panamanian laws will continue to permit such payments, transfers, conversions or remittances without restrictions.E. | Taxation |
The following discussion summarizes the material Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of our shares.
This discussion is not a comprehensive discussion of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase our shares and is not applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, and does not specifically address all of the Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax considerations applicable to any particular holder. It is based upon the tax laws of Peru, the United States and Panama as in effect on the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F,
which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and to differing interpretations. Holders of our common shares are urged to consult its independent tax advisor about the particular Peruvian, U.S. federal and Panamanian income tax consequences to it of an investment in our shares.Peruvian Tax Considerations
The following summary of certain Peruvian tax matters as in force on the date of this Annual Report on Form
20-F
describes the principal tax consequences of an investment in our common shares or the beneficial interest therein bynon-Peruvian
shareholders. This summary is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to make an investment in our common shares or the beneficial interest therein. In addition, it does not describe any tax consequences: (a) arising under the laws of any taxing jurisdiction other than Peru or (b) applicable to anyone different from anon-Peruvian
shareholder.For purposes of this section,
“non-Peruvian
shareholder” means either: (i) a legal entity which has neither been incorporated nor established in Peru, provided that it does not conduct any trade or business through a permanent establishment in Peru or holds our shares or the beneficial interest therein through a Peruvian branch or (ii) an individual who is not a Peruvian tax resident. For Peruvian tax purposes, an individual is deemed to be a Peruvian tax resident if such individual is (a) a Peruvian citizen who has a regular residence in Peru, or (b) anon-Peruvian
citizen who has resided or remained in Peru for more than 183 calendar days during any12-month
period. Any change in the residency condition will be effective as of January 1 of the following calendar year in which such conditions are met.The discussion in this summary is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used or relied upon by any person, for the purpose of avoiding Peruvian taxation, and was written to support the promotion or marketing of this offering. Holders of our common shares should consult an independent tax advisor with respect to the Peruvian tax consequences of participating.
Peruvian Income Tax
Payment of Dividends
Dividends paid by legal entities incorporated in Peru are subject to a Peruvian withholding tax at a 5% rate. Our Peruvian subsidiaries are required to act as withholding agents for any income tax due with respect to dividends on their shares. We have not agreed to assume the withholding payments nor pay additional amounts so that the
non-Peruvian
shareholder of our common shares or the beneficial interest therein receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.We are company incorporated under the laws of Panama, accordingly, dividends paid on our common shares will not be subject to a Peruvian withholding.
198
Sale of our common shares
As a general rule, under the current Peruvian income tax laws and regulations, proceeds received by a
non-Peruvian
shareholder on the sale, exchange or disposition of our common shares will not be subject to any Peruvian withholding or capital gains tax, since our common shares are deemed to be issued by a legal entity not incorporated in Peru.However, capital gains accrued and received by a
non-Peruvian
shareholder on the sale, exchange or disposition of our common shares will be subject to Peruvian income tax at a 30% rate if such transaction consists of an indirect transfer of shares issued by a Peruvian entity (“Peruvian shares”). An indirect transfer of Peruvian shares takes place in the transfer of the shares of anon-Peruvian
entity that owns, directly or indirectly, shares of a Peruvian company provided that the following conditions are met:(i) | the fair market value of the Peruvian shares, whether owned directly or indirectly by the foreign parent company, is equal to 50% or more of the fair market value of the capital stock issued by the foreign parent entity at any time during the 12-month period prior to the transfer; and, |
(ii) | in any 12-month period, 10% or more of the shares issued by the foreign parent company are transferred. |
Applicable regulations provide specific rules to determine the fair market value and cost of the stock issued by the foreign parent entity.
There is a rebuttable presumption that both conditions are met if the foreign parent company whose shares are transferred resides in a
low-tax,
zero-tax
orun-cooperative
jurisdiction pursuant to Peruvian legislation.An indirect transfer of Peruvian shares also takes place in the transfer of the shares of a
non-Peruvian
entity that owns, directly or indirectly, shares of a Peruvian company provided the aggregate amount of the Peruvian shares being indirectly transferred by the transferor and its related parties in any12-month
period reaches or exceeds 40,000 Tax Units (the applicable Tax Unit for fiscal year 2021 was S/4,400 and for fiscal year 2022 is S/4,600). This new rule is effective as from January 1, 2019 and applies irrespective if conditions (i) and (ii) abovementioned are not met.A 5% preferential rate would be applicable if (i) such shares are registered with the SMV; and (ii) such sale is performed through trading sessions () of the Lima Stock Exchange.
rueda de bolsa
A further tax exemption would be applicable provided (i) such shares are registered with the SMV; (ii) such sale is performed through trading sessions () of the Lima Stock Exchange, (iii) such shares have a stock market presence as of the transfer date (ensuring share liquidity and continuous price quotations); and (iv) the transferor and its related parties have not transferred 10% or more of the aggregate shares issued by the foreign parent company in any

12-month
period. This tax exemption is set to expire in its entirety on December 31, 2022.Value added tax
Dividends resulting from the shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries are not subject to Peruvian Value Added Tax (, or “VAT”).
Impuesto General a las Ventas
The sale, exchange or disposition of shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries is not subject to VAT.
Financial Transaction Tax
Deposits in and withdrawals from accounts held in Peruvian banks or other financial institutions, whether inor foreign currency, are levied with a financial transactions tax (“FTT”) at a 0.005% rate. Therefore, FTT will be levied on the price paid for and the dividends resulting from the shares issued by our Peruvian subsidiaries if deposited in or withdrawn from a Peruvian bank or other financial institution, as the case may be.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common shares. Except where otherwise noted, this discussion applies only to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our common shares that hold such shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “U.S. Code”), its legislative history, existing final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change (possibly on a retroactive basis) and to different interpretations.
This discussion does not purport to address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder and holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their specific tax situations. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to holders subject to special tax rules, including, for example:
• | insurance companies; |
• | tax-exempt organizations; |
• | dealers in securities or currencies; |
• | traders in securities that elect the mark to market method of accounting with respect to their securities holdings; |
• | banks or other financial institutions; |
• | partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
• | U.S. Holders whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar; |
• | real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies; |
• | persons that, directly or indirectly, hold 10% or more of our stock by vote or value; |
• | U.S. expatriates; or |
• | persons for whom the common shares may form part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other integrated transaction. |
Further, this discussion does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, or alternative minimum tax consequences, or the Medicare tax on net investment income, or any state, local and
non-U.S.
tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the common shares.As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of the common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
• | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; |
• | a corporation, or any other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
• | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or |
• | a trust if (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) the trust has a valid election in effect under current U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
200
If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the common shares, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisor as to its consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the common shares.
Except where specifically described below, this discussion assumes that we are not a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please see the discussion under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies” below.
Distributions
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” distributions of cash or property (other than our common shares, if any, distributed pro rata to all of our shareholders) paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) with respect to our common shares, including the net amount of any tax withheld on the distribution, will be includible in gross income as ordinary dividend income on the date on which the U.S. Holder receives the distributions. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such excess amounts will be treated first as a
non-taxable
return of capital to the extent of such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in our common shares and, thereafter, as capital gain. We do not intend to maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Unless and until these calculations are made, distributions should be presumed to be taxable dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.A dividend paid in a
non-U.S.
currency will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in a U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the day the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars. If a dividend paid in anon-U.S.
currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the day the dividend is received by the U.S. Holder, the U.S. Holder generally will not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. Any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder through the date suchnon-U.S.
currency is converted into U.S. dollars (or otherwise disposed of) generally will be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency exchange gain or loss, if any, with respect tonon-U.S.
currency received by the U.S. Holder which is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt.Dividends paid to corporate U.S. Holders with respect to our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the U.S. Code. Dividends received by certain
non-corporate
U.S. Holders with respect to the common shares will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential rates if the dividends constitute “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid on the common shares will be treated as qualified dividend income if (i) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, (ii) the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period and other requirements and (iii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC.Our common shares are listed on the NYSE, and therefore we expect that the common shares should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States.
Moreover, as discussed below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2021 and current taxable years, and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. However, there can be no assurance in this regard because the PFIC determination is made annually and is based on the portion of our assets (including goodwill) and income that is characterized as passive under the PFIC rules and our continued qualification for an exception to the PFIC rules for certain foreign banks and insurance companies.
Subject to generally applicable limitations and conditions under the U.S. Code (including a minimum holding period requirement), any
non-U.S.
income tax withheld from dividends may be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Dividends paid on our common shares generally will constitute foreign source income, and for purposes of calculating the foreign tax201
credit, as “passive category income,” for most U.S. Holders. Alternatively, a U.S. Holder may be able to deduct foreign income taxes paid with respect to dividends on our common shares against its taxable income, assuming such U.S. Holder does not take a credit for any foreign income taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year and certain other conditions are met. U.S. Holders should consult their own advisors concerning the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.
Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of our Common Shares
Subject to the discussion below under “Item 10. Additional Information—Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Companies,” gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if our common shares have been held for more than one year. The amount of gain or loss realized will be the difference between (i) the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares over (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such common shares, in each case determined in U.S. dollars. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a common share generally will equal the cost of the common share to the U.S. Holder. Long-term capital gain realized by certain U.S. Holders (including individuals) generally is eligible for favorable rates of U.S. federal income tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations under the U.S. Code.
Any gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on such a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common shares generally will be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. If any
non-U.S.
income tax is withheld on such sale, exchange or other taxable disposition, a U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit for suchnon-U.S.
tax. However, pursuant to recently issued U.S. Treasury regulations that apply to taxes paid or accrued in taxable years beginning December 28, 2021, any such Peruvian, Panamanian or other foreign income tax would generally not be eligible for a foreign tax credit unless the U.S. Holder elects benefits under an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and the foreign country imposing the tax. Alternatively, the U.S. Holder may take a deduction for any otherwise creditable tax in computing taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided that the U.S. Holder elects to deduct all foreign taxes paid or accrued for the taxable year. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foreign tax credit limitation rules to their investment in, and disposition of, our common shares.Passive Foreign Investment Companies
U.S. Holders should carefully consider the discussion below regarding our potential treatment as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, if, during any taxable year of a
non-U.S.
corporation, 75% or more of the corporation’s gross income consists of certain types of “passive income,” or the average value during the taxable year of the “passive assets” of the corporation (generally, assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income) is 50% or more of the average value of all of its assets, the corporation will be classified as a PFIC under U.S. federal income tax law. Passive income for this purpose generally, among other things, includes interest, dividends, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions. Certain exceptions are provided, however, for passive income derived in the conduct of an active business.The PFIC provisions also contain a look-through rule under which a
non-U.S.
corporation shall be treated as if it received directly its proportionate share of the income and as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of any other corporation in which it owns at least 25% of the value of the stock. Under the look-through rule, we should be deemed to own a proportionate share of the assets and to have received a proportionate share of the income of our principal subsidiaries, including Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank, for purposes of the PFIC determination. As noted below, the assets and income of Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank are subject to special rules under the PFIC regime. Further, the PFIC test is performed on an annual basis and it is therefore possible that our PFIC status may change from year to year due to changes in income or asset composition.Assets and Income of Interbank and Inteligo Bank under the PFIC Rules
The application of the PFIC rules to banks is unclear under present U.S. federal income tax law. Banks generally derive a substantial part of their income from assets that are interest-bearing or that otherwise could be considered passive assets under the PFIC rules. The IRS has issued a notice and has proposed U.S. Treasury regulations that exclude from passive income any income derived in the active conduct of a banking business by a qualifying foreign bank (the “active bank exception”). The IRS notice and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations
202
have different requirements for qualifying as a foreign bank, and for determining the banking income that may be excluded from passive income under the active bank exception. Moreover, the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations have been outstanding since 1995 and may not be finalized in their current form. Our PFIC status may be impacted if and when these U.S. Treasury regulations are finalized.
Because final U.S. Treasury regulations have not been issued and because the notice and the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations are inconsistent in certain respects, Interbank’s, Inteligo Bank’s and (as a result) our status under the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty. While Interbank and Inteligo Bank conduct, and intend to continue to conduct, a significant banking business, there can be no assurance that they will satisfy the specific requirements for the active bank exception under either the IRS notice or the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations. It is therefore possible that a significant portion of the assets and income of Interbank or Inteligo Bank may be treated as passive.
Assets and Income of Interseguro under the PFIC Rules
While passive income generally includes interest, dividends, annuities and other investment income, the PFIC rules provide that income “derived in the active conduct of an insurance business by a qualifying insurance corporation” is not treated as passive income. A qualifying insurance corporation is a foreign corporation (i) which would be taxable as an insurance company if it were a U.S. corporation and (ii) the applicable insurance liabilities of which constitute more than 25% of its total assets, as determined for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, if a corporation meets the first prong of this test, but not the second, a U.S. Holder can still elect to treat the corporation as a qualifying insurance company if at least 10% of its assets are applicable insurance liabilities and it meets certain alternative facts and circumstances tests. Under these tests, the corporation must be predominantly engaged in an insurance business and the failure to meet the 25% test described above must be due solely to
run-off
related or rating-related circumstances involving such insurance business. Proposed U.S. Treasury regulations were issued in 2019 that provide guidance about the definitions of “active conduct” and “insurance business.” The proposed regulations were withdrawn in part and subsequent U.S. Treasury regulations were proposed in 2020 that provide explanation of the active insurance income exception as modified under changes to the U.S. Code as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We expect, for purposes of the PFIC rules, that Interseguro will meet the requirements to be considered a qualifying insurance corporation. No assurance can be provided, however, that changes in Interseguro’s business operations or in the application of U.S. federal income tax law, including the finalization of the proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, will not affect the ability of Interseguro to qualify for the active insurance income exception.Consequences of PFIC Status
Although the matter is not free from doubt, based on our current expectations regarding our subsidiaries meeting the PFIC exceptions discussed above, the value and nature of the assets of our subsidiaries, the sources and nature of the income of our subsidiaries, relevant market and shareholder data and our current business plans, we believe that we will not be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2020 and current taxable years and we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC in the future. If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our common shares, such a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules (and may be subject to increased tax liability) with respect to (a) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of our common shares, and (b) any “excess distribution” made by us to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distribution during a taxable year in which distributions to the U.S. Holder on our common shares exceed 125% of the average annual distributions the U.S. Holder received on the shares during the preceding three taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares). Under those rules, (a) the gain or excess distribution would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for our common shares, (b) the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the gain or excess distribution is realized and to taxable years before the first year in which we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary income, (c) the amount allocated to each prior year in which we were a PFIC would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and (d) the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of U.S. federal income tax would be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each prior year in which we were a PFIC. In addition, in the event that we are classified as a PFIC, similar rules would apply to “excess distributions” or gains with respect to subsidiary PFICs held directly or indirectly by us (“Lower-tier PFICs”), even if the proceeds are not distributed to our shareholders. A U.S. Holder generally will be required to file IRS Form 8621 if it holds our common shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC.
203
A U.S. Holder may be able to mitigate these tax consequences by electing mark to market treatment for its common shares, provided the relevant shares constitute “marketable stock” as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations. Our shares will be “marketable stock” if they are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange or other market” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations. Our common shares are listed on the NYSE, and therefore we expect that our common shares should qualify as regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. No assurance can be given, however, that our common shares will be considered regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market. A U.S. Holder electing the mark to market regime generally would, during any year in which we are treated as a PFIC, compute gain or loss at the end of such year as if the shares had been sold at fair value. Any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder under the mark to market election, including on an actual sale, would be treated as ordinary income, and the U.S. Holder would be allowed an ordinary deduction for any decrease in the value of shares as of the end of any taxable year and for any loss recognized on an actual sale, but only to the extent, in each case, of previously included mark to market income not offset by previously deducted decreases in value. Any loss on an actual sale of shares would be a capital loss to the extent in excess of previously included mark to market income not offset by previously deducted decreases in value. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in shares would increase or decrease by gain or loss taken into account under the mark to market regime.
A mark to market election under the PFIC rules applies to all future years of an electing U.S. Holder during which the shares are regularly traded on a qualifying exchange or other market, unless revoked with the IRS’s consent. A mark to market election under the PFIC rules with respect to shares would not apply to a Lower-tier PFIC, and a U.S. Holder would not be able to make such a mark to market election in respect of its indirect ownership interest in that Lower-tier PFIC. Consequently, U.S. Holders of shares could be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to income of the Lower-Tier PFIC the value of which already had been taken into account indirectly via mark to market adjustments.
A U.S. Holder may in certain circumstances mitigate the adverse tax consequences of the PFIC rules by filing an election to treat the PFIC as a qualified electing fund (“QEF”). However, in the event that we are or become a PFIC, we do not intend to comply with the reporting requirements necessary to permit U.S. Holders to elect to treat us as a QEF.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Dividends paid on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common shares that are paid to a U.S. Holder generally will be subject to the information reporting requirements of the U.S. Code and may be subject to backup withholding unless the U.S. Holder provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification or otherwise establishes an exemption. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that certain required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
In addition, U.S. Holders may be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including filing an IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with respect to the holding of certain foreign financial assets, including stock of foreign issuers, either directly or through certain foreign financial institutions, if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds U.S.$50,000. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting rules to our common shares and the application of these reporting requirements to their particular situations.
FATCA Withholding Taxes
Pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Code (provisions commonly known as “FATCA”), a “foreign financial institution” may be required to withhold U.S. tax on certain “passthru payments” made on or after the date that is two years after the date of publication in the Federal Register of applicable final regulations defining foreign passthru payments to the extent such payments are treated as attributable to certain U.S. source payments. Holders should consult their own tax advisors on how these rules may apply to their investment in the common shares. In the event any withholding under FATCA is imposed with respect to any payments on the common shares, there will be no additional amounts payable to compensate for the withheld amount.
HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON SHARES, INCLUDING, IN PARTICULAR, THE EFFECT OF ANY
NON-U.S.
STATE OR LOCAL TAX LAWS.204
Panamanian Taxation
The following is a summary of the principal Panamanian income tax consequences resulting from the beneficial ownership and disposition of our common shares by certain persons. This summary is based on the Panamanian Tax Code of 1956, as amended, other applicable tax laws, decrees and regulations issued thereunder, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof, and is subject to any changes in these or other laws, decrees, regulations and interpretations occurring after such date, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is intended as a descriptive summary only and is not a complete analysis or listing of all potential Panamanian income tax consequences to purchasers of our common shares. The summary does not address the tax treatment of potential purchasers that may be subject to special income tax and withholding rules. The summary is not intended as tax advice to any particular person, nor does it purport to furnish information on the level of detail or with attention to a purchaser’s specific tax circumstances that would be provided by a purchaser’s own tax advisor. Holders of our common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the precise Panamanian and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of our common shares.
Panamanian Income Tax Structure
Panama’s income tax regime is essentially territorial. Consequently, income tax is levied only upon income or gains derived from income deemed to arise from Panamanian sources, while income not deemed to be Panamanian source income is not subject to Panamanian income taxes.
Taxation of Dividends
In light of the above, dividend income is not subject to income tax in Panama if the profits to which the dividends relate are not Panamanian source income. Moreover, further distributions of dividend income received by the direct shareholders of a Panamanian company to such direct shareholders’ own shareholders are not subject to income tax in Panama. Accordingly, because we are a holding company that does not perform income generating activities in Panama and our income is generated exclusively from activities outside of Panama, dividend payments made with respect to our common shares would not be subject to income tax or withholding requirements in Panama.
The offering and sale of our common shares and the use of proceeds therefrom herein described will all take place outside of Panama, and we do not intend to place, invest or economically utilize in Panama the proceeds that we will receive upon the issuance and sale of our common shares, or to conduct business activities in Panama.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Under the tax principles set forth above, because we generate income only from foreign or
non-Panamanian
sources, any capital gains realized by a holder of our common shares on the sale or other disposition thereof will be exempt from income or capital gains tax in Panama.Stamp and Other Taxes
Because we are a holding company that does not perform income generating activities in Panama and our income is generated exclusively from activities outside of Panama, our common shares, and any document containing an agreement providing for the sale or disposition thereof, are not subject to stamp, registration or similar taxes, unless the respective documents shall be used before the courts or administrative authorities of Panama, in which case the stamp tax shall be paid at that time at a rate of U.S.$0.10 for each U.S.$100.00 or fraction of U.S.$100.00 of the face value of the obligations stated therein.
In light of the above, there are no sales, transfer or inheritance taxes in Panama applicable to the sale or disposition of our common shares.
Foreign Investors
Because the gains realized on the sale and disposition of our common shares are not subject to income tax in Panama as indicated above, a person domiciled outside of Panama is not required to file an income tax return in Panama solely by reason of his or her purchase or ownership of our common shares.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Our goal is to attain sustainable long-term growth, through a balance between risk policies and profitability. As a result, our senior management places great emphasis on risk management.
To manage the risks described below, we have a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and remediation processes in place for each of our business segments. We incorporate analytics into our decision-making process and make use of tools and methodologies that allow us to identify and manage risk efficiently.
Banking Segment
Main Types of Risks
The main types of risk inherent in Interbank’s businesses are credit, market, liquidity and operational risk.
• | Credit risk |
• | Market risk off-balance sheets derived from variations in market conditions. It generally includes the following risk types: exchange rates, interest rates and prices. |
• | Liquidity risk on- oroff-balance sheet, as they come due. |
• | Operational risk |
To manage the above risks, Interbank has a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and remediation processes. It uses different models and rating tools at the client or product level to manage risks. These tools measure and value the risk with a prospective vision, thus allowing the organization to make better risk decisions in the different stages or life cycle of each loan.
These tools are continuously monitored and periodically validated to ensure that appropriate levels of prediction and performance are being maintained and to take corrective action or adjust to the models when needed.
The risk management indicators are continuously reviewed and assessed to identify possible deviations in risk profile with respect to the established risk appetite and apply timely corrective actions as needed. This information is submitted to the Risk Management Committee monthly and to the board of directors periodically.
Credit Risk
The main risk Interbank must manage is credit risk. To mitigate exposure to credit risk and provide adequate risk coverage, Interbank has established the following measures, among others:
• | policies, procedures, methodologies, models, parameters and expert judgement to identify, measure, control and report credit risk; |
• | review and assessment of credit risk through specialized units of risk screening, which are independent from Interbank’s Commercial Division, and which assess credit risk prior to loan approvals or prior to the acquisition of specific investments; |
• | timely monitoring and tracking of credit risk and maintenance of pre-defined tolerance levels; |
• | compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits to minimize exposure to debtors and counterparties, such as those related to sector concentration (for loans), by issuer, credit rating and liquidity; |
• | procedures for the management of loan guarantees. |
207
Interbank also uses different models and rating tools for each type of client and/or product. Interbank constantly monitors and reviews these tools to ensure that adequate levels of prediction and performance are maintained and if necessary, to adjust or take corrective measures.
Through its policies and procedures, Interbank establishes the patterns and mechanisms needed to prevent excessive risk concentration and maintain a diversified portfolio.
Interbank manages its credit risk by means of three main processes: underwriting, monitoring and recovery. These processes are applied accordingly in different business lines.
The underwriting process is fundamentally based on comprehensive knowledge of the client and their economic activity and evaluating their repayment capacity, solvency and credit history. This process uses risk management methodologies and tools, which measures and assesses the quality of the risk to be granted, based on models and automatic rating systems for the admission of credits.
The monitoring process is used for early detection of credit risk to identify clients with potential risks that would affect their ability to pay which can possibly impact the debtor’s credit development. This process uses an integrated system of alerts, which is used to determine whether immediate actions need to be taken.
Actions include preventative, corrective or
follow-up
measures. This process utilizes systems, models and guidelines to assess the evolution of the debtor’s detected risks and determine their management for standardization or collection.The recovery process is carried out through a set of coordinated actions for the appropriate and timely recovery of the loans, which aim to minimize losses in exposures with a high credit risk.

Credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, which is defined primarily by their cash flow and credit history. The decision whether or not to approve an extension of credit takes into account the applicant’s economic environment, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and the credit ratings assigned to the applicant by other companies of the financial system.
To rate credit risk within the commercial portfolio, Interbank uses a credit risk management system, the Statistical Rating System. This system measures credit risk by classifying companies based on their expected default probability, without considering the facility’s amount, loan conditions or collateral. The Statistical Rating System is supported by a statistical model that predicts default probability from historical default data, based on the company’s qualitative information, financial performance and internal and external credit behavior. Currently, the system is designed to rate companies from our commercial banking business line with at least S/3.0 million in annual sales.
For government entities or project finance, Interbank uses the Weighted Rating System. This methodology considers six different areas: (1) product, demand and industry; (2) shareholders and management; (3) access to credit; (4) profitability; (5) generation of resources; and (6) solvency. The final rating is the weighted sum of these areas.
In the case of financial institutions, Interbank uses an Expert Judgment Analysis Methodology. This methodology considers aspects such as shareholders, management, profitability, solvency, risk rating information, etc.
The Watchlist System monitors clients that have risk potential that needs to be addressed. Based on internal and external alerts, historical financial data and client behavior and market conditions, clients are classified into one of four categories: (1) surveillance; (2) guarantee (increase collateral), (3) reduce exposure and (4) exit or collect.
The
Non-Performing
Assets Monitoring System monitors the status ofnon-performing
loans and defines categories and related strategies. This system allows Interbank to evaluate which companies are overdue and are struggling to pay their loans and focus recovery efforts on those loans. The recovery portfolio is divided into rescheduled and refinanced credit, judicial recoveries and restructured credit.209
Credit risk management includes strategies related to proper recovery of defaulted loans. Depending on whether the recovery strategy is based upon the client’s cash flow or collateral foreclosure, loans are assigned to the recovery division. This division has two units, special credit and judicial recovery. Judicial recovery may include the sale of recovered or foreclosed assets, which are managed by the asset sales unit that oversees selling these assets.
Small Business Banking
The following table presents the approval levels required for small business banking loan applications by principal amount in U.S. dollars.
Approval levels | Amount (1) | |||

In small business banking, credit approval is determined by the applicant’s credit history and repayment ability, which is in turn determined primarily by the applicant’s cash flow and credit history. Approvals of loans depend on the applicant’s economic conditions, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and the credit ratings assigned by a scoring system applied to new and current clients.
An independent unit is responsible for ensuring proper compliance with risk policies, the methodologies applied in the evaluation of creditors and the performance of scoring models and ensuring that the quality of the portfolio does not exceed risk limits.
Interbank has developed specific risk management tools to respond efficiently to new schemes and constraints that arise in the market for small business banking. Interbank refers to these tools as the Small Business Banking Management and Monitoring Process, which consist of:
• | Scoring Small Banking Enterprises |
• | Indebted Customers Methodology Small Business Banking |
• | Field Audit and Monitoring |
During collection of early stage
(1-90
days), Interbank uses collection scores that allow Interbank to define the collection strategy: phone collection, text message collection, mail or personal collection.Recovery in small business banking occurs in two phases. Early collection is based on and supported by admission risk officers for the first 90 days. During this time, a customer in default is contacted and recovery efforts are made in the form of letters, telephone calls and direct negotiations. After the first 90 days, the defaulted loan is transferred to the Recovery Unit.
Retail Banking

The approval process in retail banking is supported by world class tools, a workflow that includes a parameterized decision-making system, including risk policies and limits, as well as statistical models for all main retail banking products: credit cards, payroll deduction loans, mortgages and consumer loans.
In retail banking, credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, credit history and risk profile. An independent unit is responsible for monitoring the performance of the customer’s portfolio, identifying and controlling risk across the customer’s life cycle, keeping track of the performance of credit policies at origination and monitoring behavior in customer management and collections. For this purpose, Interbank uses data mining and cluster analysis, stress testing for likelihood of defaults, vintage and roll rate analysis and credit risk scoring.
During collection of early stage
(1-90
days) due loans in retail banking, Interbank uses collection scores that allow it to choose the appropriate collection strategy: phone collection, text message collection, chatbot, mail or personal collection.Unpaid debts with a 90 day stay are deemed defaulted loans. Depending on whether the recovery strategy is based on the client’s cash flow or collateral foreclosure, loans are assigned to Interbank’s recovery division. The recovery division has two units,
pre-judicial
and judicial stage of recovery. During the judicial stage of recovery, accounts are assigned to recovery attorneys. Recovery may include the sale of foreclosed assets.Defaulted loans that are 100% accounted for under loan loss reserves are
written-off
and managed through external judicial recovery.Collections and recoveries are undertaken through advanced collection systems from world class suppliers and predictive dialers. The recovery portfolio is segmented into various groups that are divided according to the specific phase of the recovery process. Collections and recovery efforts are made by letters, SMS text messages, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), telephone and personal contact with the customer.
Market Risk
Market risk is the probability of loss due to variations in financial market conditions. The main variations to which Interbank is exposed are: (i) exchange rates, (ii) interest rates and, (iii) prices. Said variations can affect the value of financial assets and liabilities. As part of the risk management system, in certain circumstances Interbank uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate the risk exposure which arises from the variations in interest rates and exchange rates.
Exchange Rate
Management sets limits on exposure levels by currency and monitors them on a daily basis. Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for by using exchange rates prevailing on the market.
Interbank manages exchange rates by matching its assets and liabilities, overseeing the global exchange position daily. Interbank’s global foreign exchange position is equivalent to the result of long positions minus short positions in currencies different from the. The global foreign exchange position includes spot positions and derivative positions.

Interest Rate
Interest rates continuously fluctuate on the market. These fluctuations affect Interbank in two ways: first, through the change in the valuation of assets and liabilities; and second, though cash flows at repricing. The variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities is increasingly sensitive as the term at which the asset or liability repricing increases. This process consists of the assessment of the repricing periods. On the other side, cash flows are affected when the instruments reach maturity, given that they are invested or placed at the new market interest rates.
The interest rate risk tracking is reported to the Integral Risk Management Committee, as well as the ALCO. The Integral Risk Management Committee approves the various limits applicable to the management of financial instruments. The tracking process is performed by the Division of Market Risk.
Repricing Gap
An analysis of repricing gaps is performed to determine the impact of interest rate movements on the valuation of assets and liabilities into different time gaps.
The following tables summarize Interbank’s exposure to interest rate risks. Financial instruments are presented at book value, classified by the period of the contract’s interest rate repricing or maturity date, whichever occurs first:

Interbank separates exposures to market risk into two blocks: (i) trading book, which comprises positions in liquid investments, and (ii) banking book, which comprises banking assets and liabilities inherent to the intermediation business whose market risk exposure stems from the changes in the portfolio’s structural positions.
212
Trading Book
To control and monitor the risks arising from the volatility of risk factors, Interbank has established maximum exposure limits by currency, investment type,(VaR) and tolerance to expected maximum loss (Stop Loss), which are monitored on a daily basis. Likewise, reports from the Integral Risk Management Committee and the ALCO are submitted regularly to Interbank’s board of directors.
Value-at-Risk
The validity of VaR calculation is proven through a back-testing proof, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates potential losses. Additionally, it calculates risk factor sensitivity, which shows potential portfolio losses resulting from interest rate shocks, exchange rate shocks and price shocks, among others.
As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, Interbank’s VaR calculated for its trading book, classified by type of risk, was as follows:
December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | Change | |||||||||||||||||

Interbank’s VaR increased from S/3.4 million as of December 31, 2020 to S/10.6 million as of December 31, 2021, mainly due to higher interest rate volatility due to the continued political instability in the country.
Interbank’s VaR increased from S/1.4 million as of December 31, 2019 to S/3.4 million as of December 31, 2020, mainly due to higher exchange risk volatility due to the
COVID-19
pandemic and political crisis, which was partially offset by a lower interest rate risk due to stable low rates during the year.For the periods presented Interbank did not have back-testing exceptions.
Banking Book
Interbank also holds positions that are not actively traded. These positions include all loan placements and funds raised through Interbank’s intermediation business, as well as certain investments that are not deemed trading.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange rate risk is the risk due to exchange rates movements. Management sets limits on exposure levels by currency and monitors them on a daily basis. Transactions in foreign currency are accounted for by using exchange rates prevailing on the market.
Interbank manages exchange rate risk by matching its assets and liabilities, overseeing the global exchange position on a daily basis. Interbank’s global foreign exchange position is equivalent to the result of long positions minus short positions in currencies different from the. The global foreign exchange position includes spot positions and derivative positions.

213
Liquidity Risk
Interbank’s liquidity risk arises from the potential inability to comply with financial obligations. This risk may arise as a result of diverse events such as the unexpected loss of funding sources or the inability to rapidly settle assets, among others.
Interbank takes short-term deposits and transforms them into longer-term loans, which also increases its exposure to liquidity risk. Interbank keeps a set of deposits that historically represent a stable funding source.
Interbank’s liquidity is managed by the Vice President of Capital Markets, which leads the ALCO. Liquidity risk is overseen by the Integral Risk Management Committee, which defines the risk level that Interbank is willing to take and reviews the corresponding indicators, limits and controls.
Interbank has a set of indicators that establish minimum short-term liquidity and reflect several risk aspects, such as concentration, stability, position by currency, main depositors, etc. The Market Risk Division is responsible for tracking such indicators.
Interbank also assesses medium-term and long-term liquidity through a structural analysis of its funds inflows and outflows on diverse maturity terms. This process allows it to identify, for each currency, the funding sources, how liquidity needs increase and which terms are mismatched. For both assets and liabilities, Interbank makes assumptions for operations without specific maturity dates, including revolving loans and savings. These assumptions also include the estimated obligations arising from contingent liabilities such as guarantee letters or
non-used
credit lines. Based on this information, necessary actions are taken to maintain the target liquidity levels.Operational Risk
Interbank has launched several initiatives to strengthen its risk culture, adopt international best practices in risk management, and lay the groundwork for adopting Basel standards.
Interbank manages operational risk through a specialized unit that has the following objectives:
• | facilitate operational risk management in accordance with risk appetite and approved risk tolerance; |
• | reduce operational losses by identifying potential process risks; |
• | identify and manage operational risk in the development of new products and processes; and |
• | monitor, measure and report key operational risk matters. |
Interbank’s methodology is based on three tools for identifying and measuring risks that calculate the exposure level to risk and facilitate the decision-making process to mitigate exposures within certain limits of risk tolerance: (i) risks and controls self-assessment, (ii) collection of loss event, and (iii) risk indicators.
Insurance Segment
Interseguro has the following risk management objectives:
• | protect shareholder value by monitoring that exposure to probable losses does not exceed approved limits; |
• | protect policyholders so that their rights will not be affected by losses that exceed the value of Interseguro’s equity; |
• | support the decision making processes in Interseguro, by providing consistent, reliable and timely risk information; and |
• | promote a successful company culture of risk awareness and informed risk-taking. |
To this end, Interseguro uses tools and methodologies to identify and manage risk efficiently, incorporating analytics into its decision-making process.

Main Types of Risks
The main risks faced by Interseguro are insurance risk, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, real estate risk and operational risk. Other risks include interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.
Insurance Risk
As an insurance company, Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the assumptions it employs to price a particular insurance policy, such as the frequency of losses or the severity of losses may be incorrect. Flaws in these assumptions may lead to premium mispricing and the miscalculation of the amount of funds necessary to cover such insurance policy. Particularly, upon the sale of an annuity, Interseguro records a reserve that is calculated on the basis of an updated discount rate obtained by a matching adjustment methodology and mortality data.
Credit Risk
Interseguro holds a large portfolio of debt investments and fixed income securities and is therefore exposed to the risk that the issuer may default on its interest or principal payments. This risk is mitigated through a three step process. Initially, regulations established by the SBS (1) limit the types of investments Interseguro can make, (2) set minimum credit ratings that securities must have, and (3) limit Interseguro’s investments with respect to a single issuer. Secondly, Interseguro performs a careful analysis on the securities it purchases. Finally, Interseguro’s investment committee, which is comprised of both internal and independent members of its board of directors, is responsible for approving any new investment and periodically reviews Interseguro’s investment portfolio.
Market Risk
Interseguro is exposed to the risk that the value of its investments decreases due to changing market conditions. Market risk drivers include equity prices, interest rates and real estate prices. Interseguro manages this risk by setting limits on individual issuer concentration, on type and liquidity of assets and on deviations from the terms of the technical liabilities they should cover. The risk management unit regularly assesses market risk to verify its alignment to Interseguro’s risk appetite. This assessment includes VaR analysis, contribution and sensitivity analysis of each risk driver and stress tests in different extreme scenarios.
The VaR analysis is a statistical measurement that quantifies the maximum loss expected for the investment portfolio for a period of time and a determined significance level under normal market conditions. For VaR calculation Interseguro uses a historical simulation model, with a 10 day period of time and a 99% significance level. The VaR is calculated for the entire market portfolio, and for market risk factors, such as interest rate, equity price and foreign exchange.
The validity of the VaR calculation is proven through back-testing, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates the potential losses. Additionally, Interseguro employs sensitivity analysis to show potential portfolio losses derived from price, foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations.
As of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Interseguro’s VaR calculated for its investment portfolio, classified by type of risk, was as follows:

Between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, the value of Interseguro’s investment portfolio in financial instruments decreased by more than S/943.6 million, which also led to a decrease in exposure to market risk represented by the VaR, principally in interest rate risk and price risk.
215
Between December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020, the value of Interseguro’s investment portfolio in financial instruments increased by more than S/1,431.3 million, which also led to an increase in exposure to market risk represented by the VaR, principally in interest rate risk and price risk.
For the periods presented Interseguro did not have back-testing exceptions.
Interest Rate Risk
The following tables set forth all the assets and liabilities that are sensitive to interest rate movements.
In addition to fixed income investments, Interseguro has almost no interest-bearing assets or liabilities. Consequently, the interest rate risk of Interseguro is already incorporated into the market risk of the portfolio.

Foreign Exchange Risk
Interseguro has mainly assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. Interseguro manages its foreign exchange rate exposure by matching assets and liabilities by currency.
Liquidity Risk
Interseguro controls its liquidity needs in the short, medium and long term with the application of Asset Adequacy Tests. In simple terms, these are exercises in which the projected flows of the contracted annuities and insurance policies, are compared with the cash flows of the assets allocated for their coverage, and the present value of the surpluses, dynamically calculated, represents the level of liquidity adequacy of Interseguro.
Real Estate Risk
Interseguro manages the risk associated with its real estate investment portfolio by constantly evaluating the financial position of prospective and current tenants to reduce the risk of losing rental income.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to inadequate processes, faulty personnel, information technology, or external events. To manage these risks, Interseguro uses tools for identification, evaluation and treatment of risks similar to the tools used by banks to comply with Basel II. The goals of these risk management tools may be summarized as follows:
• | reduce operational losses by identifying potential process risks; |
• | identify operational risk in the development of new products; |
• | manage control risk and self-assessment of critical processes; and |
• | monitor and measure operational risk. |
Wealth Management Segment
Inteligo’s risk management policies are guided by an emphasis on maintaining growth that is both sustainable, profitable and aligned to adequate levels of risk. In order to accomplish this, Inteligo has developed analytic tools and methodologies aiming to identify and manage risk efficiently. Inteligo monitors and reviews these tools to ensure that adequate levels of prediction and performance are maintained and, if necessary, to make adjustments or take corrective measures.
In order to manage the above risks, Inteligo has a specialized risk management structure, measurement systems and mitigation and coverage processes.
Inteligo uses different key risk indicators (“KRI”) to measure its exposure to risk factors. These KRI are continuously monitored and reviewed monthly by senior management and quarterly by the Integral Risk Management Committee and the board of directors to identify possible deviations from the stipulated risk appetite and apply timely corrective actions if needed.
Both credit and market risk are the main risks to be managed by Inteligo and, in order to mitigate its exposure and provide adequate risk coverage, it has established the following measures, among others:
217
• | policies, procedures, methodologies, and parameters aimed to identify, measure, control and report market and credit risk; |
• | review and assessment of credit risk through a specialized risk department which is independent from the commercial unit and which assesses all credit risks prior to loan approvals; |
• | compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits for concentration exposure to counterparties and financial instruments, such as concentration to industry, issuer, credit rating and type of investment; and |
• | procedures for the management of loan guarantees. |
Through these measures, Inteligo establishes the patterns and mechanisms needed to maintain a diversified portfolio and prevent excessive risk concentration.
Main Types of Risks
The main risks faced by Inteligo are credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and operational risk.
Credit Risk
In our wealth management segment, only Inteligo Bank is exposed to credit risk. The substantial majority of loans we make are fully collateralized by time deposits or investment securities. Nevertheless, we have implemented strict credit risk management policies, which have contributed to a minimum level of
non-performing
loans. As of December 31, 2021, only 0.2% of its loan portfolio was classified asnon-performing
loans.The following table presents the approval levels required for loan applications by total exposure amount in U.S. dollars.
Approval levels | Amount | |
Board of Directors | Over U.S.$20,000,000 | |
Executive Committee | Up to U.S.$20,000,000 | |
Credit Committee | Up to U.S.$15,000,000 | |
Chief Executive Officer | Up to U.S.$5,000,000 | |
Chief Operating Officer | Up to U.S.$1,500,000 | |
Operations Manager | Up to U.S.$500,000 |
Credit approval is determined by the applicant’s repayment ability, which is determined primarily by the applicant’s credit history and cash flow generation for commercial loans or monthly net profit for retail loans.
The decision whether or not to approve an extension of credit takes into account the applicant’s economic environment, its ability to meet its obligations, collateral, management and character. We developed a credit risk scorecard system in 2013, which classifies applicants based on several variables such as leverage ratio, debt service as a percentage of monthly income and collateral quality, among others.
The Risk Unit is responsible for periodical monitoring of our credit portfolio and early detection of possible deviations in the credit performance and financial condition of clients in order to maintain a healthy loan portfolio and take timely and necessary actions to reduce or avoid losses. To this end, the Risk Unit reviews Inteligo Bank’s loan portfolio on a monthly basis and calculates an expected credit loss according to internal models. Additionally, it is responsible for the regulatory classification of all bank customers and appropriate allocation of reserves.
Although Inteligo Bank has a recovery process for the collection of unpaid loans, there have been very few cases of
non-performing
or defaulted loans.218
Market Risk
Market risk is the probability of loss due to variations in financial market conditions. The main variations to which Inteligo is exposed to are: interest rates and market pricing of financial instruments. Said variations can affect the value of Inteligo’s financial assets and liabilities. Exchange rate risk is minimal because of the small exposure to other currencies.
Inteligo Investment Portfolio
In order to monitor the risks within each instrument of its investment portfolio, Inteligo has established maximum exposure limits by individual issuer, investment type and currency that are calculated on a monthly basis.
The main technique used to measure and control market risk is VaR, which is a statistical measurement that quantifies the maximum loss expected for the investment portfolio for a period of time and a determined significance level under normal market conditions. Inteligo uses the historic VaR model for a period of one month with a 99% confidence level. The VaR is calculated for each risk factor (price, interest rate and exchange rate) and investment type (fixed income, equity and alternative investments).
Additionally, Inteligo calculates the marginal contribution to VaR of each instrument in the portfolio. The validity of the VaR calculation is verified through a back-testing methodology, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates potential losses. Inteligo has also developed a sensitivity analysis to show potential portfolio losses from price variations in its investment portfolio or interest rates fluctuations.
The primary source of Inteligo’s market risk is Inteligo Bank’s investment portfolio, as it represents over 95% of Inteligo’s VaR results. As of December 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 Inteligo’s VaR, classified by type of risk was as follows:

Total | 158.5 | 211.5 | 21.3 | (53.0 | ) | 190.3 | ||||||||||||||
Inteligo’s VaR decreased S/53.0 million as of December 31, 2021, mainly due to lower levels of volatility in the financial markets as a result of the development and implementation of vaccine programs in many countries to mitigate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic, when compared to December 31, 2020.Inteligo’s VaR increased S/190.3 million as of December 31, 2020, mainly as a result of the higher levels of volatility during March and April amid the uncertainty caused by the
COVID-19
pandemic and the policies adopted by several countries to slow its spread and reduce its economic impact, when compared to December 31, 2019.For the periods presented Inteligo did not have back-testing exceptions.
Assets and Liabilities Management
Inteligo holds positions that are not actively traded, including its loan portfolio, customer deposits, and bank loans. These positions are also exposed to interest rate risk, exchange rate risk and liquidity risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rates continuously fluctuate on the market. These fluctuations affect Inteligo in two ways: firstly, through the change in the valuation of assets and liabilities; and secondly, affecting the cash flows at repricing dates. The variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities is increasingly sensitive as the term at which the asset or liability repricing increases.
219
An analysis of the repricing gaps is performed in order to determine the impact of interest rates movements. Said analysis consists of classifying all the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in several time ranges according of their repricing date. The impact of the variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities on each range (the repricing gap) is calculated in function of this analysis.
The following tables summarize Inteligo’s exposure to interest rate risks. Inteligo’s financial instruments are presented at book value, classified by the period of the contract’s interest rate repricing or maturity date, whichever occurs first:

Foreign Exchange Risk
Exchange rate risk is related to the variation of the positions both
on-
andoff-balance
sheet that may be negatively affected by exchange rates movements. Inteligo Bank’s main business is performed in U.S. dollars, its functional currency. Management sets a limit to exposure levels in other currencies and monitors it monthly.220
Inteligo SAB uses bothand U.S. dollars in its trading operations and maintains positions in both currencies. Interfondos manages mutual funds in bothand U.S. dollars.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk consists of Inteligo’s inability to comply with the maturity of its obligations, thus incurring losses that affect its equity position. This risk may arise as result of diverse events such as the unexpected decrease of funding sources or the inability to rapidly settle assets, among others.
Although Inteligo takes short-term deposits, most of the deposits have historically been renewed or maintained, and consequently they represent a stable funding source. Additionally, the average loan term is less than a year and more than a half of the investment portfolio can be easily liquidated, so liquidity risk is low.
Nevertheless, Inteligo assesses medium-term and long-term liquidity through a structural analysis of its funds inflows and outflows on diverse maturity terms. This process allows it to know the diverse funding sources, how liquidity needs to be increased, and which terms are mismatched. On the basis of this information, the necessary decisions to maintain adequate liquidity levels are taken.
Inteligo Bank’s financial assets include unlisted equity investments, which generally are illiquid. In addition, Inteligo Bank holds investments in closed (unlisted) and open-ended investment funds, which may be subject to redemption restrictions such as “side pockets” and redemption limits. As a result, Inteligo Bank may not be able to settle some of its investments in these instruments in due time in order to meet its liquidity requirements.
Operational Risk
Inteligo manages operational risk through its risk unit, guided by banking best-practices, including Basel II policies. The objectives of the operational risk management are to:
• | reduce operational losses by identifying potential process risks; |
• | identify operational risk in the development of new products; and |
• | manage control risk and self-assess critical processes; |
• | monitor and measure operational risk. |
Inteligo’s methodology is based on two tools for identifying and measuring risks that calculate the exposure level and facilitates decision-making to mitigate exposures within certain limits of risk tolerance. These tools are risks and controls self-assessment, and collection of loss event.
Inteligo Bank uses the Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk management under Basel II, according to the Central Bank of The Bahamas’ regulation. In recent years, Inteligo launched several initiatives to strengthen the risk culture among the employees.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We have evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as adopted by IASB and includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by IASB, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, effective control over financial reporting cannot and does not provide absolute assurance of achieving our control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13(a)-13(f)
and15(d)-15(f)

Corporate Governance
As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different corporate governance requirements than those followed by a U.S. company with shares listed on the NYSE that follow NYSE listing standards. With certain exceptions, foreign private issuers are permitted to follow their home country corporate governance standards.
We are registered with the SMV and although there is no legal obligation to comply with Peruvian corporate governance practices, we are required to report our degree of compliance with Peruvian corporate governance practices for Peruvian publicly-held companies to the SMV. Because we are not subject to Panamanian securities laws as we have not offered any securities in Panama and because general corporate law in Panama does not impose any meaningful restrictions on our corporate governance, a comparison to Panamanian corporate governance practices is not applicable. Additionally, we have adopted a set of additional corporate governance guidelines as contemplated by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and our articles of incorporation, which include the establishment of:
• | principles and duties relating to the conduct of our management, including as with respect to confidentiality and conflicts of interest; |
• | internal accounting controls systems; |
• | corporate governance guidelines; |
• | amendments to the audit committee charter; |
• | a code of business conduct and ethics; |
• | corporate anti-corruption policies and guidelines, including compliance with the FCPA; and |
• | amendments to corporate compliance policies. |
Pursuant to Section 303A.11 of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE, we are required to provide a summary of the significant ways in which our corporate governance practices differ from those required for U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The following is a comparison between our corporate governance policies under Peruvian law and those of the NYSE listing standards.
225
NYSE Standards | Our Corporate Governance Practices | |
Director Independence | Our articles of incorporation provide for a minimum of three members for our board of directors. Currently, our board of directors is composed of seven members. | |
The criteria for determining independence under our corporate governance standards has been defined in accordance with Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. | ||
Executive Sessions Non-management directors must meet regularly in executive sessions without management. Independent directors should meet alone in an executive session at least once a year. §303A.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual | Under our articles of incorporation and applicable laws non-management directors are not required to meet in executive sessions without management. | |
NYSE Standards | Our Corporate Governance Practices | |

Our audit committee consists of three directors, all of whom are financially literate and one of whom is a financial expert. Our audit committee is fully independent in compliance with NYSE rules and Rule10A-3(b) of the Exchange Act. | |
Audit committee additional requirements | Our audit committee complies with the criteria set forth under our “Audit Committee Charter,” the rules of the NYSE and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act, each as applicable to foreign private issuers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Intercorp Financial Services Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Intercorp Financial Services Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company´s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report date on April 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical audit matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Expected credit loss on loan portfolio
Description of the matter
As described in Note 6(a) to the consolidated financial statements, the amount recognized as impairment allowance for loans is S/2,064,917,000 as of December 31, 2021. Also, as disclosed by management in Notes 3.4(i) and 30.1(d) to the consolidated financial statements, the allowance is calculated using an expected credit loss model (ECL). The ECL model determines the credit losses that are expected to arise for loans as a result of a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) from the initial date of the loan or when there is objective evidence of impairment. ECL allowances are measured at amounts equal to either (i)
12-month
ECL; or (ii) lifetime ECL. The ECL is based upon the probability of default, the exposure to the default and the loss given default; which are based on supportable information about past events, current conditions and forward looking information (FLI). When estimating the ECLs, the Company considers three scenarios (optimistic, base and pessimistic), each of these is associated with different probability of default. Also, the Company has evaluated the specific effects of the current Peruvian economic situation derived principally fromCovid-19
(Omicron variant). The effects mentioned before cannot be reflected in ECL model, and management adjustments were considered in order to capture the uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the current Peruvian economic situation derived principally fromCOVID-19.
Auditing the impairment allowance for loans was complex and required the application of significant judgment and involvement of specialists due to the inherent complexity of the models, assumptions, judgments, the forward-looking nature of key assumptions and the interrelationship of the critical variables in measuring the ECL. Significant assumptions and judgments with respect to the estimation of the allowance for credit losses include (i) the determination of when a loan has experienced a SICR; (ii) the forecast of FLI for multiple economic scenarios and the probability weighting of those scenarios; (iii) the calculation of both
12-month
and lifetime credit losses; and (iv) the application of expert credit judgment, specifically due to the current Peruvian economic situation derived principally fromCOVID-19.
The allowance for credit losses is a significant estimate for which variations in model methodology, assumptions and judgments can have a material effect on the measurement of expected credit losses.How we addressed the matter in our audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls over the calculation of the ECL and the significant assumptions described above, including the allowance related to the models and management adjustments due to the current Peruvian economic situation derived principally from
COVID-19.
TheF-4
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continue)
controls we tested included, amongst others, controls over the identification of indicators of impairment, the determination of significant changes in credit risk, and management’s review and approval of models used to calculate the ECL, including the data inputs and outputs of those models; testing controls over the risk-rating process, and the governance and oversight controls over the review of the overall ECL.
To test the ECL, our audit procedures included, amongst others, involving our credit risk specialist to assess whether methodology and assumptions used to estimate ECL were consistent with the requirements of IFRS. We assessed significant changes in credit risk triggers, management’s forecasting methodology and compared management’s forward-looking information to publicly available information from independent sources. Also, we assessed management adjustments included due to uncertainty surrounding the current Peruvian economic situation derived principally from
COVID-19,
the probability-weighted scenarios used in the ECL, including performing independent recalculations, and we tested the completeness and accuracy of data used in the measurement of the ECL. We also assessed the adequacy of the related financial statement disclosures.Valuation of insurance contracts liabilities
Description of the matter
As described in Note 14(a) to the consolidated financial statements, the amount recognized as insurance contracts liabilities was S/11,958,058,000 as of December 31, 2021. This amount includes technical reserves for insurance premiums amounting to S/11,735,995,000 and technical reserves for claims amounting to S/222,063,000. The valuation of these liabilities was made based on the actuarial assumptions and data used in the calculation. The key actuarial economic assumptions used in the valuation of the insurance contracts are critical and include, amongst others, the mortality and morbidity tables and interest rates.
Auditing the Company’s insurance contract liabilities was complex and required the application of significant auditor judgment and involvement of specialists due to the actuarial models and highly judgemental nature of the actuarial assumptions used by management to estimate the liabilities. The key actuarial assumptions include mortality and morbidity tables, discount rates, and expenses. Changes in these assumptions could have significant effects on the valuation of the insurance contracts liabilities.
How we addressed the matter in our audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the management’s controls, related to the valuation of insurance contract liabilities. This included testing the governance and oversight controls over the review of the actuarial models, the actuarial assumptions, and the data inputs used.
To test the valuation of the insurance contract liabilities, our audit procedures included, amongst others, comparing the methodology, actuarial models and actuarial assumptions used by the Company to recognized actuarial practices and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying insurance policy data used in the valuation. We involved our actuarial specialists to assist us in assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions and the appropriateness of the
F-5
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continue)
methodologies and models. Our actuarial specialists also performed an independent calculation of the insurance contract liabilities. In addition, our actuarial specialists assessed the reasonableness of the movement of insurance contracts liabilities considering changes in the actuarial assumptions in the reporting period. We also assessed the adequacy of the related financial statement disclosures.

In our opinion, Intercorp Financial Services Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated on April 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

(b) | Global pandemic Covid-19 - |
(b.1) | State of National and Sanitary Emergency |
Since March 2020, the World Health Organization declared
“Covid-19”
as a global pandemic, which has had a significant impact on the world economy. Many countries imposed travel bans, social isolation, and even people in many places have been and continue to be subject to quarantine measures.In Peru, in March 2020, the Government declared a State of National and Sanitary Emergency ordering the closure of borders, mandatory social isolation, the closure of businesses considered
non-essential
(the exceptions were the production, distribution and commercialization of food and pharmaceuticals, financial services and healthcare), among other measures related to the health and well-being of citizens.F-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
In May 2020, through Supreme Decree
No. 080-2020,
the government approved the gradual resumption of economic activities to mitigate the economic negative effects of the pandemic. The proposed reactivation would be in four phases based on the impact of each sector on the economy, being mining and industry, construction, services and tourism and commerce the first ones to restart, followed by manufacturing and agricultural sectors. The last phase had considered the reopening of the entertainment sector with reduced capacity.During the last months of 2020, with the purpose of continuing to contain and mitigate the spread of
Covid-19,
the Peruvian government issued a series of measures focused on region, traffic restrictions and new rules on social cohabitation abiding by the established attendance capacity. However, at the end of 2020 and during the first months of 2021, the country experienced a new and very high wave of infections which was referred to as the “second wave”. This new wave of infections caused some phases of the economic recovery already implemented to be gradually scaled back.The progress of the National Vaccination Plan implemented by the Peruvian government since 2021 helped to reduce the mortality rate generated by
Covid-19
in Peru.Although the vaccination process has been increasing at an accelerated pace as part of the plan designed to face a possible “third wave”, which began in Peru at the beginning of 2022. To protect the citizens’ health, the Peruvian government issued a series of Supreme Decrees extending the National State of Emergency and the National State of Health Emergency up to the end of August 2022.
(b.2) | Economic measures adopted by the Peruvian government |
Within this context, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (henceforth “MEF”), the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (henceforth “BCRP”) and the Superintendence of Banking and Insurance and private Pension Fund Administrators (henceforth “SBS”), activated extraordinary measures aimed to alleviate the financial and economic impact of
Covid-19,
in particular on customers of the financial system (due to the closure of most sectors of economic activity), as well as some additional measures focused on securing the continuity of the economy’s payment chain.During 2020, the main measures implemented in the financial system were related to facilities for loans rescheduling (payment deferrals), suspension of counting of past due days, partial withdrawal of deposits from compensation from service time accounts, setting of repo operations with the BCRP and the launching of credit programs guaranteed by the Peruvian government, such as “Reactiva Peru”, created through Legislative Decree No. 1455-2020 and expanded through Legislative Decree No. 1485-2020, which has the purpose to secure the continuity of the companies’ payment chain to face the
Covid-19’s
impact.Such program grants guarantees to companies to obtain working capital loans and thus comply with their short-term obligations to their workers and suppliers of goods and services. This program manages guarantees for the entire Peruvian financial system whose total amounte
d to S/
60,000,000,000.
During 2020, Interbank
granted loans under this modality for S/6,617,142,000. As of December 31, 2021, Interbank maintained loans of the “Reactiva Peru” program for S/4,976,073,000, including accrued interest for S/79,936,000; out of which S/4,421,999,000 are covered by the Peruvian Government (as of December 31, 2020, it maintained S/6,659,790,000, including accrued interest for S/44,021,000, out of which S/5,855,826,000 are covered by the Peruvian
government).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
During 2021, the Peruvian government, through the MEF and the SBS, issued a series of Resolutions and Official Letters within the framework of Emergency Decree
No. 026-2021
and an amendment by Emergency DecreeNo. 039-2021,
which establishes economic and financial measures with respect to the rescheduling of the loans guaranteed under the “Reactiva Peru” program. In that sense, during 2021, Interbank modified loans of such program for an amount of approximately S/
2,012,855,000.
As of December 31, 2021, the balance of rescheduled loans under the “Reactiva Peru” program amounted to approximately
S/1,974,180,000.
At the beginning of 2020, the Peruvian government issued the Emergency Decreethe government authorized the
No. 033-2020,
which allowed each worker to withdraw up to S/2,400 from their deposits for severance indemnity (“CTS” by its Spanish acronym). Additionally, through Supreme Decree No.010-2021-TR,
one-off
withdrawal of the entirety of such CTS accounts until December 2021, for the purpose of covering the workers’ economic needs caused by theCovid-19
pandemic.(b.3) | Measures adopted by the Company and Subsidiaries |
Management and the Board of IFS monitor the situation closely and focus on on four fundamental pillars which is going to allow the continuity of its operations: taking the following measures in each one of these pillars:
i) | Liquidity and solvency |
Active participation in the BCRP’s daily operations, thus raising funds through loan reporting operations represented by securities. These funds were aimed to loans under the “Reactiva Peru” program and attracted higher levels of deposits. Likewise, to strengthen its capital and regulatory capital to face with the volatile environment, the Group implemented the following measures:
Interbank:
• | The Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 25, 2021, approved the capitalization of profits ( previouslyagreed to at the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 3, 2020) and agreed to not distribute dividends. |
• | The Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 3, 2020, approved to reduce the percentage of distributable dividends, with the charge to the 2019 fiscal year, from 45 percent to 25 percent. In addition, the net profit generated in the first quarter of 2020 was also agreed to be capitalized. |
• | During 2020, Interbank placed international subordinated bonds for US$300,000,000. |
Interseguro:
• | In the Board’s Session held on June 30, 2020, Interseguro agreed to the capitalization of S/50,000,000 with charge to the period’s net profit. |
• | On September 30, 2020, Interseguro placed subordinated bonds for US$25,000,000. |
• | In the Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 24, 2020, Interseguro agreed to the capitalization of S/48,148,000 with charge to the retained earnings. |
• | The Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 9, 2021, approved the capitalization of S/62,962,963, which includes the agreed amount from June 2020. |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
ii) | Operations |
To sustain the Group’s operations, the following measures have been taken:
• | Provide employees with technological tools. |
• | Implement new protocols for business continuity under the current circumstances. |
• | Monitor supplier operations related to the supply of cash. |
• | Reinforce IT systems and cybersecurity. |
iii) | Distribution channels |
• | Financial stores – implement flexible opening hours. |
• | ATMs – Maintenance and availability of cash at full capacity. |
• | Call center – Increase telephone operators. |
• | Apps and home banking. |
iv) | Employees |
• | Implementation of Covid-19 protocols and health surveillance. |
• | Home office implementation (work from home). |
• | “Remote First” implementation (option to work remotely; permanently or under a hybrid model – home and office). |
• | Implementation of digital services to strengthen health care. |
Due to the nature of its operations, the subsidiary Inteligo, was not significantly impacted by the
Covid-19
pandemic.In Management’s opinion, these and other additional measures implemented by the Group have enabled IFS and Subsidiairies to sufficiently address the negative effects of the
Covid-19
pandemic.(c) | Initial Public Offering |
On July 3, 2019, the Board of IFS approved the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America (henceforth the “SEC”), of a Registration Statement under Form
F-1
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 of the United States of America, in relation with a proposal of an Initial Public Offering (henceforth “Offering”) of IFS’s common shares.On July 18, 2019, IFS announced its Offering for approximatel
per common share. The sale was performed by (i) IFS, (ii) Interbank, (iii) Intercorp Peru, and (iv) a non-related shareholder. Additionally, IFS granted the Offering placers a 30-day call option for up
to 1,350,000 new common shares, as an additional initial issuance.As result of
the
Offering, IFS sold 2,418,754 common shares held as treasury stock (including shares sold by Interbank), as well as approximately 1,150,000 new common shares to be issued. Intercorp Peru sold 2,531,246 shares, and thenon-related
shareholder sold 3,000,000 shares. Additionally, the placers exercised the call option regarding 1,186,841 new common shares.In this sense, IFS and Subsidiaries combined, sold 4,755,595 shares at US$46.00 per share. The sale value amounted to approximately US$218,757,000 (before issuance expenses).
The total impact of the Offering on the Company’s net equity, after discounting the issuance expenses, amounted to S/684,125,000 (approximately US$208,384,000), mainly explained by:

(i) | Issuance of 2,336,841 shares, for an amount of S/336,950,000, out of which S/74,571,000 correspond to capital stock and S/262,379,000 to capital surplus (net of issuance expenses for S/15,957,000), see Note 16(a). |
(ii) | Sale of 2,418,754 share held as treasury stock, including shares sold by Interbank, for a total amount of S/347,175,000, which were recorded in captions “Treasury stock” and “Retained earnings”, as of December 31, 2019, see Note 16(b). |
2. | Subsidiaries |
IFS’s Subsidiaries include the following:
(a) | Banco Internacional del Peru S.A.A. - Interbank and Subsidiaries - |
Interbank is incorporated in Peru and is authorized by the Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Funds (henceforth “SBS”, by its Spanish acronym) to operate as a universal bank in accordance with Peruvian legislation. The Bank’s operations are governed by the General Act of the Banking and Insurance System and Organic Act of the SBS – Act No. 26702 (henceforth “the Banking and Insurance Act”), that establishes the requirements, rights, obligations, restrictions and other operating conditions that financial and insurance entities must comply with in Peru.
As of December 31, 2021, Interbank had 189 offices (215 offices as of December 31, 2020). Additionally, it holds approximately 100 percent of the shares of the following Subsidiaries:
Entity | Activity | |
Internacional de Títulos Sociedad Titulizadora S.A. - Intertítulos S.T. | Manages securitization funds. | |

Each investor or investors have ownership of and specific control over the contributed investment property. The fair values of the properties contributed by Interseguro, which were included in this structured entity as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted
D.S.093-2002-EF,
t
o S/71,302,000 and S/118,892,000,respectively; see Note 7. For accounting purposes and under IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” the assets included in said structure are considered “silos”, because they are ring-fenced parts of the wider structured entity (the Patrimonio Fideicometido - Interproperties Peru). The Group has ownership and decision-making power over these properties and the Group has the exposure or rights to their returns; therefore, the Group has consolidated the silos containing the investment properties that it controls.
In June and September 2019, Interseguro sold the entirety of its participation, equivalent to 15 percent, of the land lot located in Miraflores (Lima) called “Cuartel San Martín” to Urbi Propiedades S.A.C., a related entity, for an amount of S/63,132,000; Note 7(e).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
3. | Significant accounting policies |
3.1 | Basis of presentation - |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (henceforth “IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (henceforth “IASB”) and are presented in Soles, which is the functional currency of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (S/(000)), except when otherwise indicated.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the IFRS requires Management to make estimations and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of significant events in the notes to the consolidated financial statements; see Note 3.6.
3.2 | Adoption of new standards and disclosures - |
In these consolidated financial statements, the Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The following standards, interpretations or amendments have been adopted for the first time in 2021, but they have not had a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:
• | Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2” |
Phase 2 of the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform includes a series of relief measures and additional disclosures. The relief measures apply to financial instruments when the interest rate benchmarks are replaced by alternate interest rates (practically risk-free rates).
The amendments include the following practical expedients:
• | A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. |
• | Permit changes required by Interbank Offered Rates (henceforth “IBOR”) reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. |
• | Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when the risk-free interest rate instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. |
As of December 31, 2021, Interbank holds exposure mainly to
USD-London
Interbank Offered Rate (henceforth “LIBOR”), thus the impact will be the change to another benchmark rate. In the United Kingdom, the Financial Conduct Authority (henceforth the “FCA”) is responsible of the regulation of the LIBOR rates. In the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is leading the transition of theUSD-LIBOR
into the robust rate benchmark Secured Overnight Financial Rate (henceforth “SOFR”).In March 2021, the FCA informed that all LIBOR rates would stop being published or no longer be representative, defining two dates: the first one, immediately after December 31, 2021, in the case of the sterling pound, the euro, the Swiss franc, the yen and the US dollar, references to one week and two months; and the second one, immediately after June 30, 2023, in the case of the rest of US dollar rates, references to overnight, one, three, six and twelve months. In addition, in July 2021, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (henceforth the “ARRC”) announced that it was formally recommending the CME Group’s forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate term rates (henceforth the “SOFR Term Rates”) as the benchmark rate.
F-
22
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Regarding the exposures, among the items potentially affecting Interbank are commercial loans, funding liabilities and derivative positions. The positions within the balance sheet that accrue interest at the
USD-LIBOR
rate are not significant and represent less than
3percent of the asset or liability, respectively. In the case of commercial loans, the agreements have been reviewed and the majority corresponds to syndicated loans where the leading banks do not yet define the rate at which to migrate. In the case of liabilities, there are exposures in loans and bonds. In the case of loans, the last date of interest calculation will be before June 30, 2023. In the case of issued bonds, there is an issuance that could pay interest based on LIBOR in the future, but this issuance has a fallback clause, which determines the conditions governing contracts when indices are not available. In derivative products, the “ISDA Protocol”, to which Interbank is expected to adhere to be aligned to the global market standard is under review. Considering that in all Interbank’s products global banks take part, the process of negotiation with clients will develop in line with advances at the global LIBOR level.
NaN
significant impacts are expected in the future on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”: Covid-19-related |
On May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 that provide relief to lessees from applying such standards, which are related to lease modification accounting for rent concessions for the
Covid-19
pandemic. These amendments require a lessee applying the practical expedient, record theCovid-19
related rent concessions as if they were not a lease modification. A lessee may elect not to assess whether aCovid-19
related rent concession is a lease modification.The amendment to IFRS 16 was intended to apply until June 30, 2021, but as the impact of the
Covid-19
pandemic is continuing, on March 31, 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to June 30, 2022.These amendments did not have impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Since January 1, 2019, the Group applies: (i) IFRS 16 “Leases”, whose accounting policies and impacts are described in Notes 3.4(k) and 8(e); and (ii) the first phase of the amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, referred to the Interest rate benchmark reform, whose accounting policies and impacts are described in Notes 3.4(ah) and 10(b)(vi).
3.3 | Basis of consolidation - |
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statement of IFS and its Subsidiaries (see Note 2).
For consolidation accounting purposes, control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
• | Power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee); |
• | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and |
• | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns. |
F-
23
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Generally, it is presumed that a majority of voting rights entitles to control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than the majority of votes or similar rights in the investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
• | The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee; |
• | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and |
• | The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights. |
The Group assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation with a Subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the Subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the Subsidiary.
For consolidation purposes, profit and loss and each component of other comprehensive income (henceforth “OCI”) are attributed to the equity holders of the Group’s parent Company and to the
non-controlling
interests, even if this results in thenon-controlling
interests having a deficit balance. All assets and liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are fully eliminated. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statement of Subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.The subsequent acquisition of the
non-controlling
interest is directly recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in equity; the difference between the paid amount and the acquired net assets is registered as an equity transaction. Therefore, the Group reports no additional goodwill after the purchase of thenon-controlling
interest and recognizes no profit or loss for the sale of thenon-controlling
interest.Assets in custody or managed by the Group, such as investment funds and others, are not part of the Group’s consolidated financial statements; see Note 3.4(ac).

The Group has determined that its functional and presentation currency is the Sol because it reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to most of the Group’s entities, insofar as its main operations and/or transactions, such as loans granted, financing obtained, sale of insurance premiums, interest and similar income, interest and similar expenses and an important percentage of purchases are established and settled in Soles. In addition, it corresponds to the functional currency to most of the Subsidiaries, except for Inteligo Bank, whose functional currency is the US Dollar.
Because Inteligo Bank has a functional currency different from the Sol, its balances were translated for consolidation purposes using the methodology established by IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, as follows:
• | Assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position. |
• | Income and expenses, at the average exchange rate for each month. |
As a result of the translation, the Group has recorded the difference in the caption “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations” in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency balances and transactions:
Foreign currency transactions and balances are those performed in currencies different from the functional currency. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect on the reporting date. The differences between the closing rate at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position presented and the exchange rate initially used to record the transactions in foreign currency are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they arise, in the caption “Translation result”.
Non-monetary
assets and liabilities acquired in a foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate at the date of the initial transaction.(b) | Interest income - |
(b.1) | Effective interest rate method - |
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (henceforth “EIR”) method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, interest rate derivatives for which hedge accounting is applied and the related amortization/recycling effect of hedge accounting. The interest income of financial assets that accrue interests measured at fair value through other comprehensive income according to IFRS 9 is also recorded using the EIR method. Interest expenses are also calculated using the EIR method for all financial liabilities held at amortized cost. The EIR exactly discounts estimated future cash flows through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period at the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
The EIR is calculated by taking into account transaction costs and any discount or premium on the acquisition of the financial asset, as well as fees and costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The Group recognizes interest income using the best estimate of a constant rate of return over the expected life of the financial asset. Therefore, the EIR calculation also takes into account the effect of potentially different interest rates that may be charged at various stages of the financial asset’s expected life, and other characteristics of the product’s life cycle (including prepayments, penalty interest and charges).
If expectations of fixed rate financial assets’ or liabilities’ cash flows are revised for reasons other than credit risk, then changes to future contractual cash flows are discounted at the original EIR, and the adjustment is recorded as a positive or negative adjustment of the carrying amount of the financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position with an increase or decrease in Interest revenue.
For floating-rate financial instruments, periodic
re-estimation
of cash flows to reflect the movements in the market rates of interest also alters the effective interest rate, but when instruments were initially recognized at an amount equal to the principal,re-estimating
the future interest payments does not significantly affect the carrying amount of the asset or the liability.(b.2) | Interest income and similar - |
The Group calculates the interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of
non-impaired
financial assets.F-
25
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
When a financial asset becomes impaired, and, therefore, it is classified as Stage 3 (as established in Note 3.4(h)), the Group calculates the interest income by applying the EIR at the amortized cost of the asset. If the financial assets “recover”, as detailed in Note 30.1(d), and is no longer impaired, the Group recalculates the interest income in gross figures.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired (henceforth “POCI”) assets, as established in Note 30.1(d), the Group calculates the interest income by determining the credit-adjusted EIR at the amortized cost of the asset. The credit-adjusted EIR is the interest rate that, in the initial recognition, discounts the estimated future cash flows (including credit losses) at the amortized cost of POCI assets.
The interest income for all trading assets, that is, for those that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, are presented in the caption “Net gain of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” of the consolidated statement of income.
(c) | Banking services commissions - |
The Group earns fee and commission income from a diverse range of financial services it provides to its customers. Fee and commission income is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for providing the services.
The performance obligations, as well as the timing of their satisfaction, are identified and determined at the inception of the contract. The Group’s income from contracts do not typically include multiple performance obligations.
When the Group provides a service to its clients, the consideration is invoiced and generally due immediately upon satisfaction of a service provided at a point in time or at the end of the contract period for a service provided over time.
The Group has generally concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements because it typically controls the services before transferring them to the customer.
The fees included in the caption “Fees for banking services, net” that make up part of the consolidated statement of income include fee income where performance obligations are satisfied at a specific time or over a period of time.
Fee income where performance obligations are satisfied over a period of time include, among others, collection services, funds management, memberships, fees for contingent loans and credit card insurance. Likewise, fee income where performance obligations are satisfied at a specific time include, among others, banking service fees, brokerage and custody services, and credit card fees.
Below is the main income from contracts with customers that are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position:
• | Fees receivable for credit cards and certain fees receivable for letters of guarantee included in the caption “Other accounts receivable and other assets, net”, represent the Group’s right to an unconditional consideration (i.e., it only requires the passing of time for the consideration payment). This income is measured at amortized cost and is subject to impairment specifications under IFRS 9. |
F-2

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Deferred income from commissions for letters of guarantee included in the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities”, represent the Group’s obligation to render services to a customer, from whom the Group has received a consideration (or a due amount). A liability for unearned fees and commissions is recognized when the payment is made or when the payment is due (whichever happens first). Unearned fees and commissions are recognized as income when the Group renders the service. |
(d) | Insurance contracts – |
Accounting policies for insurance activities:
The Group applies to insurance contracts the existing accounting policies prior to the adoption of IFRS (i.e., accounting standards established by the SBS for financial and insurance entities in Peru) with certain modifications as described below:
• | Incurred but not reported claims reserves (henceforth “IBNR”): These reserves are calculated and applied at each recording period using the Chain Ladder methodology, which considers past experience based on cumulative claims losses to estimate future claims developments. |
• | Technical reserves for life annuities and retirement, disability and survival pensions: The Group uses the Peruvian mortality tables SPP-S-2017 SPP-I-2017 No. 886-2018 dated March 7, 2018, and set the discount interest rate through the Matching Adjustment method plus an illiquidity premium to discount all the pension cash flows; see Note 14(e). |
Product classification:
Insurance contracts are those contracts where the Group (the insurer) has accepted significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder for a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) that adversely affects the policyholder. As a general guideline, the Group determines whether it has significant insurance risk by comparing benefits paid with benefits payable if the insured event did not occur. Insurance contracts may also transfer a financial risk. When the contract has a financial component and transfers no relevant insurance risk as established by IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”, the contract is recorded based on IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”. These contracts are presented in the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” as “Contract liability with investment component” of the consolidated statement of financial position; see Note 10(a).
Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains as an insurance contract for the remainder of its life, even if the insurance risk is reduced significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire.
Life insurance contracts offered by the Group include retirement, disability and survival insurance, annuities and group and individual life.
Non-life
insurance contracts mainly include mandatory individual car accident insurance (henceforth “SOAT”) and credit card insurance, among others.F-2

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Insurance receivables:
Insurance receivables are initially recognized when due and are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Consequently, in its initial recognition, insurance receivables are measured at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of the insurance receivables is similar to their fair value due to their short-term maturity. The carrying value of insurance receivables is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, with the impairment loss recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
Reinsurance:
The Group cedes the insurance risk in the normal course of its operations mainly due to pension fund risks and life insurance risks (individual and group). The reinsurance assets represent balances due and payable by reinsurance companies. Reinsurance is ceded on a proportional basis.
The amounts recoverable from the contracts with reinsurers are estimated consistently with the loss reserve pending settlement or losses settled and with the premiums ceded, associated with policies ceded, in accordance with the clauses established in the related reinsurance contracts.
Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position or more frequently when necessary. Impairment arises when there is objective evidence the Group cannot receive all the outstanding amounts receivable under the contract terms and the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Group will obtain from the reinsurer. Impairment loss is registered in the consolidated statement of income.
Reinsurance contracts ceded do not release the Group from its obligations to the insured.
The liabilities from reinsurance contracts represent balances due and payable to reinsurance companies. The amounts payable are estimated consistently with the related reinsurance contract.
Premiums and claims are presented as gross amounts for the reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance assets or liabilities are written off when the contractual rights are extinguished, expire, or when the contract is transferred to a third party.
Reinsurance commissions:
The commissions from the reinsurance contracts for premiums ceded are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related insurance contract.
Insurance contract liabilities:
Life insurance contract liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.
The technical reserves for retirement, disability and survival insurance and annuities are determined as the sum of the discounted value of expected future pensions to be paid during a defined or
non-defined
period, computed on the basis of current mortality and morbidity tables and current discount interest rates described in Note 14(e).Individual life technical reserves are determined as the sum of the discounted value of expected future benefits, administration expenses, policyholder options and guarantees and investment income, less the discounted value of the expected premiums that would be required to meet the future cash outflows. Furthermore, the technical reserves for group life insurance contracts comprise the provision for unearned premiums and unexpired risks.
F-2
8
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Insurance claims reserves include reserves for reported claims and an estimate of the IBNR. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, IBNR reserves were determined on the basis of the Chain Ladder methodology, whereby the weighted average of past claims’ development is projected into the future. Adjustments to the liabilities at each reporting date are recorded in the consolidated statement of income. The liability is derecognized when the contract expires, is discharged or cancelled.
At each reporting date an assessment is made on whether the recognized life insurance liabilities are sufficient, by using an existing liability adequacy test as established by IFRS 4. In the case of annuities and retirement, disability and survival insurance, this test was conducted by using current assumptions for mortality and morbidity tables and interest rates. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Management determined that liabilities were sufficient and therefore, it has not recorded any additional life insurance contract liability.
The accounts payable to reinsurers and coinsurers arise from the ceded premiums issued based on the evaluation of the risk assumed and the losses coming from the reinsurance contracts accepted as well as from the clauses executed for the coinsurance received, and are registered in the item “Accounts payable to reinsurers and coinsurers” that is part of the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position.
Income recognition:
Life insurance contracts:
Gross premiums on life insurance are recognized as revenue when due from the policyholder. For single premium products, revenue is recognized on the date when the policy is effective. The net premiums earned include the annual variation of technical reserves.
Property, casualty and group life insurance contracts:
Unearned premiums are those proportions of premiums written in a year that relate to periods of risk afterwards the reporting date. Unearned premiums are calculated on a daily pro rata basis. The proportion attributable to subsequent periods is deferred as a provision for unearned premiums.
Recognition of benefits, claims and expenses:
(i) | Gross benefits and claims |
Gross benefits and claims for life insurance contracts include the cost of all claims arising during the year, including internal and external claims handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims.
Death, survival and disability claims are recorded on the basis of notifications received. Annuities payments are recorded when due.
(ii) | Reinsurance premiums |
Reinsurance premiums comprise the total premiums payable for the whole coverage provided by contracts entered into in the period and are recognized at the date at which the policy is effective. Unearned ceded premiums are deferred during the period of the related insurance contract.
(iii) | Reinsurance claims |
Reinsurance claims are recognized when the related gross insurance claim is recognized according to the terms of the relevant contract.
F-2

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(iv) | Acquisition costs |
Acquisition costs related to the sale of new policies are recognized when incurred.
(e) | Financial instruments: Initial recognition - |
(e.1) | Date of recognition - |
Financial assets and liabilities, with the exception of loans, are initially recognized at the trading date. This includes regular transactions of purchases or sales of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within the time frame generally established by regulation or convention on the marketplace. Loans are recognized when the funds are transferred to the customers while deposits and obligations are recognized when the funds are received by the Group.
(e.2) | Initial measurement of financial instruments - |
The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on the characteristics of the business model and contractual flows for managing the instruments, as described in Notes 3.4(f.1.1) and 3.4(f.1.2). Financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value (as defined in Note 3.4(e.4)), except in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs are added to, or substracted from, this amount. Accounts receivable are measured at the transaction price. When the fair value of financial instruments at initial recognition differs from the transaction price, the Group accounts for the Day 1 profit or loss, as described below.
(e.3) | Day 1 profit or loss - |
When the transaction price of the instrument differs from the fair value at origination and the fair value is based on a valuation technique that only uses inputs observable in market transactions, the Group recognizes the difference between the transaction price and fair value in the net trading income. In those cases where fair value is based on models for which some of the inputs are not observable, the difference between the transaction price and the fair value is deferred and is only recognized in profit or loss when the inputs become observable, or when the instrument is derecognized.
(e.4) | Measurement categories of financial assets and liabilities - |
The Group classifies all of its financial assets based on the business model and the contractual terms, measured at either:
• | Amortized cost, as explained in Note 3.4(f.1). |
• | Fair value through other comprehensive income, as explained in Notes 3.4(f.4) and (f.5). |
• | Fair value through profit or loss, as explained in Note 3.4(f.7). |
The Group classifies and measures its derivative and trading portfolio at fair value through profit or loss as explained in Notes 3.4(f.2) and (f.3). The Group may designate financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, if so doing eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition inconsistencies, as explained in Note 3.4(f.7).
F-
30
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Financial liabilities, other than financial guarantees, are measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss when they are held for trading, are derivative instruments or the fair value designation is applied, as explained in Note 3.4(f.6). It should be noted that during 2021 and 2020, the Group only presents derivative financial instruments measured in this way.
(f) | Financial assets and liabilities - |
The following is a description of the assets and liabilities held by the Group, as well as the criteria for their classification:
(f.1) | Assets measured at amortized cost - |
As required by IFRS 9, the Group measure cash and due from banks inter-bank funds, financial investments in debt instruments, loans and other financial assets at amortized cost if the following two conditions are met:
• | The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows, and |
• | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (henceforth “SPPI”) on the principal amount outstanding. |
The details of these conditions are presented below:
(f.1.1) | Business model assessment - |
The Group’s business model is assessed at a higher level of aggregated portfolios, and not instrument by instrument, and is based on observable factors such as:
• | How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are assessed and reported to the entity’s key management personnel. |
• | The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way those risks are managed. |
The expected frequency, value and timing of sales are also important aspects of the Group’s assessment. The business model assessment is based on reasonably expected scenarios without taking “worst case” or “stress case”. If cash flows after initial recognition are realized in a way that is different from the Group’s original expectations, the classification of the remaining financial assets that remain in that business model will not be changed, but incorporates such information when assessing newly purchased financial assets going forward.
(f.1.2) | The SPPI test - |
As a second step of its classification process, the Group assesses the contractual terms to identify whether they meet the SPPI test.
“Principal”, for the purpose of this test, is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition and may change over the life of the financial asset (for example, if there are repayments of principal or amortization of the premium/discount).
F-31
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The most significant elements within a lending arrangement are the time value of money and credit risk. To perform the SPPI assessment, the Group applies judgement and considers relevant factors such as the currency in which the financial asset is denominated, and the period for which the interest rate is set. In contrast, contractual terms that introduce volatility in the contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount outstanding. In such cases, the financial asset is required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.
(f.2) | Derivatives recorded at fair value through profit or loss - |
A derivative is a financial instrument or other contract with the following three characteristics:
• | Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable; provided that, in the case of a non-financial variable, it is not specific to part of the contract (i.e., the “underlying”). |
• | It requires no initial net investment or an initial net investment that is smaller than the required for other types of contracts expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors. |
• | It is settled at a future date. |
The Group enters into derivative transactions with various counterparties, such as: interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, foreign currency options and foreign currency forward contracts. Derivatives are recorded at fair value and carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. The notional amount and fair value of such derivatives are presented separately in Note 10(b). Changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in net trading income unless hedge accounting is applied. Hedge accounting disclosures are presented in Note 3.4(j).
(f.2.1) | Embedded derivatives - |
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid instrument that also includes a
non-derivative
host contract with the effect that some of the cash flows of the combined instrument vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative. An embedded derivative causes some or all of the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract to be modified according to a specified interest rate, financial instrument price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit rating or credit index, or other variable, provided that, in the case of anon-financial
variable, it is not specific to a party to the contract. A derivative that is attached to a financial instrument, but is contractually transferable independently of that instrument, or has a different counterparty from that instrument, is not an embedded derivative, but a separate financial instrument.Embedded derivatives in financial assets, liabilities and
non-financial
host contacts, were treated as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if they met the definition of a derivative (as defined above), their economic characteristics and risks were not closely related to those of the host contract, and the host contract was not itself held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. The embedded derivatives separated from the host contract are carried at fair value in the trading portfolio with changes in the fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income.F-32
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
In the case of embedded derivatives in financial assets, they are not separated from the financial asset and, therefore, the classification rules are applied to the hybrid instrument in its entirety, as described in Note 3.4(e.4).
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group does not present embedded derivatives in its financial liabilities, which are needed to be separated from the host contract.
(f.3) | Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading - |
The Group classifies financial assets or financial liabilities as held for trading when they have been purchased or issued primarily for short-term profit making through trading activities or form part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together, for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit taking.assets and liabilities are recorded and measured in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income. Interest income or expense and dividend are recorded in the statement of income according to the terms of the contract, or when the right to payment has been established. Included in this classification are debt securities, equities and short positions that have been acquired mainly for the purpose of selling them in the short term.
Held-for-trading
(f.4) | Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income - |
The Group applies the category of debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when both of the following conditions are met:
• | The instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. |
• | The contractual terms of the financial asset meet the SPPI test. |
Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost, as explained in Note 3.4(f.1). The expected credit loss calculation for debt instruments at at fair value through other comprehensive income is explained in Note 3.4(h)(iii). When the Group holds more than one investment in the same security, they are deemed to be disposed of on a
“first-in
first-out”
basis. On derecognition, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.(f.5) | Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income - |
Upon initial recognition , the Group occasionally elects to classify irrevocably some of its equity investments as equity instruments at at fair value through other comprehensive income when not held for trading. Such classification is determined on aninstrument basis.
instrument-by-
Gains and losses on these equity instruments are never recycled to profit even when the asset is sold. Dividends are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as income when the right of the payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the instrument, in which case, such gains are recorded in other comprehensive income. Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are not subject to an impairment assessment.
F-
33
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(f.6) | Financial liabilities - |
After initial measurement, financial liabilities, except those measured at fair value through profit or loss; see (f.7), are measured at amortized cost. Amortized cost includes commissions and interest, transaction lost and any other premium or discount. A compound financial instrument which contains both a liability and an equity component is separated at the issue date.
The Group first establishes whether the instrument is a compound instrument and classifies such instrument’s components separately as financial liabilities, financial assets, or equity instruments in accordance with IAS 32. Classification of the liability and equity components of a convertible instrument is not revised as a result of a change in the likelihood that a conversion option will be exercised, even when exercising the option may appear to have become economically advantageous to some holders. When allocating the initial carrying amount of a compound financial instrument to the equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned as the residual amount after deducting from the entire fair value of the instrument, the amount separately determined for the liability component. The value of any derivative features (such as call options) embedded in the compound financial instrument, other than the equity component (such as an equity conversion option), is included in the liability component. Once the Group has determined the split between equity and liability, it further assesses whether the liability component has embedded derivatives that must be accounted for separately.
(f.7) | Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - |
Financial assets and financial liabilities in this category are those that are not held for trading and have been either designated by Management upon initial recognition or are mandatorily required to be measured at fair value under IFRS 9. Management designates an instrument at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition when one of the following criteria is met:
• | The designation eliminates, or significantly reduces, the inconsistent treatment that would otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them on a different basis, or |
• | The liabilities are part of a group of financial liabilities which are managed and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, or |
• | The liabilities contain one or more embedded derivatives, unless they do not significantly modify the cash flows that would otherwise be required by the contract. |
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in profit and loss with the exception of movements in fair value of liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss due to changes in the Group’s own credit risk. Such changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and do not get reclassified to profit or loss. Interest accrued on assets that must be measured at fair value through profit or loss is recorded using the contractual interest rate. Dividend income from equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss is recorded in profit or loss as “Interest and similar income”; see Note 19, when the right to the collection has been established.
(f.8) | Financial guarantees and letters of credit - |
The Group issues financial guarantees, and letters of credit.
F-
34
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Financial guarantees are initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements (within provisions) at fair value, which is equivalent to the commission received. Subsequent to initial recognition, the recognized liability is measured at the higher amount between: a) amount initially recognized less its cumulative amortization and b) an Expected Credit Loss (henceforth “ECL”) provision determined as set out in Note 3.4(h)(ii).
The commission received is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the caption “Fee income from financial services, net” on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee.
Letters of credit are commitments under which, over the duration of the commitment, the Group is required to provide a loan with
pre-specified
terms to the customer. Similar to financial guarantee contracts, these contracts are within the scope of the ECL requirements.The nominal contractual value of financial guarantees and letters of credit, where the loan agreed to be provided is on market terms, is not recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. The nominal values of these instruments together with the corresponding ECLs are disclosed in Note 6(d).
(f.9) | Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities - |
The reclassification of financial assets will take place as long as the business model that manages the financial assets is changed. It is expected that this change is very rare. These changes are determined by Management because of external or internal changes and must be significant for the Group’s operations and demonstrable to third parties. Consequently, a change in the Group’s business model will take place only when it begins or ceases to carry out an activity that is significant for its operations. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group has not reclassified its financial assets after their initial recognition. Financial liabilities are never reclassified.
(f.10) | Repurchase agreements - |
Securities sold under repurchase agreements on a specified future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position since the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent to its ownership. Cash received is recognized as an asset with the corresponding obligation to return it, including accrued interest, as a liability, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and repurchase price is recorded as interest expense and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate and is recognized in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group did not keep any repurchase agreements.
(g) | Modification of financial assets and liabilities - |
(g.1) | Modification of financial assets - |
When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise modified as a result of commercial restructuring activity rather than due to credit risk and impairment considerations, the Group performs an assessment to determine whether the modifications result in the derecognition of that financial asset. For financial assets, this assessment is based on qualitative factors.
When assessing whether or not to derecognize a loan to a customer, among others, the Group considers the following factors:
F-
35
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Change in the loan’s currency. |
• | Introduction of an equity feature. |
• | Change in customer’s credit risk. |
• | If the modification is such that the instrument would no longer meet the SPPI criterion. |
If the modification does not result in cash flows that are substantially different, the modification does not result in derecognition. Based on the change in cash flows discounted at the original EIR, the Group records a modification gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
(g.2) | Modification of financial liabilities - |
When the modification of the terms of an existing financial liability is not judged to be substantial and, consequently, does not result in derecognition, the amortized cost of the financial liability is recalculated by computing the present value of estimated future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial liability’s original EIR. Any resulting difference is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Regarding the financial liabilities, the Group considers a substantial amendment based on qualitative factors and provided it exists a difference between the present value of the discounted cash flows under the new conditions and the original book value of the financial liability is larger than ten percent.
(h) | Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities - |
(h.1) | Derecognition due to substantial change in terms and conditions - |
The Group derecognizes a financial asset, such as a loan to a customer, when the terms and conditions have been renegotiated to the extent that, substantially, it becomes a new loan, with the difference recognized as a derecognition gain or loss, to the extent that an impairment loss has not already been recorded.
(h.2) | Derecognition other than for substantial modification - |
(h.2.1) | Financial assets |
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired.
• | The Group has transferred the financial asset if, and only if, either: |
• | Has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or |
• | It retains the rights to the cash flows, but has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement. |
Pass-through arrangements are transactions whereby the Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), when all of the following conditions are met:

• | The Group has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it has collected equivalent amounts from the original asset. |
• | The Group cannot sell or pledge the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients. |
• | The Group has to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the Group is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents including interest earned, during the period between the collection date and the date of agreed revision with the eventual recipients. |
A transfer only qualifies for derecognition if either:
• | The Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or |
• | The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. |
The Group considers that control is transferred if, and only if, the transferee has the ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally.
When the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards and has retained control of the asset, the asset continues to be recognized only to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement, in which case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group retains.
When the continuing involvement takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset, the amount of the Group’s continuing involvement will be the lowest between the asset amount and the maximum amount of consideration the Group may be required to pay.
When the continuing involvement takes the form of a written or purchased option (or both) over the transferred asset, the amount of the Group’s continuing involvement will be the amount of the transferred asset that the Group could repurchase. In the case of a written put option on an asset that is measured at fair value, the amount of the Group’s continuing involvement will be limited to the lowest between the fair value of the transferred asset and the option exercising price.
The net loss originated as a consequence of the derecognition of financial asset accounts measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the book value (impairment included) and the amount received.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group did not recognize net losses as a consequence of derecognition of financial assets accounts.

(h.2.2) | Financial liabilities |
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability has been discharged, cancelled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying value of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss of the period.
(i) | Impairment of financial assets - |
(i) | Overview of the expected credit loss principles - |
The Group records an allowance for expected credit losses for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss, together with financial guarantee contracts. Equity instruments are not subject to impairment under IFRS 9.
The determination of the expected credit loss is based on the credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset, unless there has been no significant increase in credit risk since origination, in which case, the allowance is based on the
12-month
expected credit loss as described in (ii) below. The policies for determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk are set out in Note 30.1(d).Both lifetime expected credit loss and
12-month
expected credit loss are calculated on either an individual basis or a collective basis, depending on the nature of the portfolio. The Group’s policy for grouping financial assets measured on a collective basis is explained in Note 30.1(d).The Group has established a policy to perform an assessment, at the end of each reporting period, of whether a financial instrument’s credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. This is further explained in Note 30.1(d).
Based on the above mentioned process, IFS groups its loans into “Stage 1”, “Stage 2”, “Stage 3” and purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets (henceforth “POCI”), as described below:
Stage 1: When loans are first recognized, the Group recognizes an allowance based on the
12-month
expected credit loss. Stage 1 also includes loans whose credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 2.Stage 2: When a loan has shown a significant increase in credit risk since inception, the Group records an allowance based on the expected credit lossfor rhe entire lifetime of the financial asset. Stage 2 also includes loans whose credit risk has improved and the loan has been reclassified from Stage 3.
Stage 3: Loans considered credit impaired (as outlined in Note 30.1(d)). The Group records an allowance for the entire lifetime of the financial asset.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
POCI: Purchased or originated credit impaired assets are financial assets that are impaired on initial recognition. POCI assets are recorded at fair value at original recognition and interest income is subsequently recognized based on a credit-adjusted EIR. ECLs are only recognized or released to the extent that there is a subsequent change in the expected credit losses. It should be noted that during 2021 and 2020, the Group has not purchased or originated POCI financial assets.
For financial assets for which the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering either the entire outstanding amount, or a proportion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced. This is considered a (partial) derecognition of the financial asset.
The Group recognizes a value correction for expected credit losses on the following financial assets:
• | Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. |
• | Financial assets that are measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income if the following two conditions are met: |
(i) | The financial asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved by obtaining contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and |
(ii) | The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only payments of the principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. |
• | Accounts receivable from leases. |
• | Assets from contracts. |
• | Financial guarantee contracts. |
In this regard, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s financial assets subject to a correction for expected credit loss include the following:
• | Cash and due from banks. |
• | Inter-bank funds. |
• | Financial investments; see Notes 3.4(f), 5 and 30.1(e). |
• | Loans; see Notes 3.4(f.1), 6 and 30.1(d). |
• | Due from customers on acceptances. |
• | Other accounts receivable and other assets. |
Due to the
Covid-19
pandemic, the Group has been periodically assessing impairment signs to timely identify an increase in the credit loss risk. Thus, for those financial assets other than financial investments and the loan portfolio, Management has estimated the expected credit loss, concluding that it is neither significant nor relevant, given that the maximum period considered for measuring expected credit losses is very small or, even if it implies a longer term, because the main debtor is the Central Reserve Bank (henceforth “BCRP”, by its Spanish acronym) or corresponds to cash in vaults of the Group.F-3

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(ii) | Calculation of ECL - |
The Group calculates ECL based on three probability-weighted scenarios to measure the expected cash shortfalls, discounted at an approximation to the EIR. A cash shortfall is the difference between the cash flows that are due to an entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the entity expects to receive.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are described below, and the key elements include the following:
• | Probability of default (henceforth “PD”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only happen at a certain time over the assessed period, if the financial asset has not been previously derecognized and is still in the portfolio. The definition of PD is further explained in Note 30.1(d). |
• | Exposure at default (henceforth “EAD”) is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments. The definition of EAD is further explained in Note 30.1(d). |
• | Loss Given Default (henceforth “LGD”) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including from the realization of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD. The definition of LGD is further explained in Note 30.1(d). |
When estimating the ECLs, the Group considers three scenarios (optimistic, base and pessimistic). Each of these is associated with different PDs, as presented in Note 30.1(d). When is relevant, the assessment of multiple scenarios also incorporates how defaulted loans are expected to be recovered, including the probability that the loans will “cure” and the value of collateral or the amount that might be received for selling the asset.
With the exception of credit cards, for which the treatment is separately set out in (iv) below, the maximum period for which the credit losses are determined is the contractual life of a financial instrument (considering the prepayments) unless the Group has the legal right to call it earlier.
Impairment losses and reversals are accounted for and disclosed separately from modification losses or gains that are accounted for as an adjustment of the financial asset’s gross carrying value.
The criteria followed for calculating the ECL based on each stage are described below:
• | Stage 1: The provision for credit losses of those financial instruments that do not show a significant increase in risk since the initial recognition, will be calculated as the expected credit losses in the following 12 months. The group calculates the expectation that there is a probability of default (PD) in the 12 months after the reporting date. To this probability of default is multiplied and expected loss in case of default (LGD) and exposure on the date of default (EAD) and discounting the original effective interest rate. This calculation is made for each of the three scenarios (optimistic, base and pessimistic) defined by the Group. |
F-
40
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Stage 2: When the financial instrument shows a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the provision of credit losses of this financial instrument will be calculated as the expected credit loss throughout the life of this asset. The calculation method is similar to that for Stage 1, including the use of multiple scenarios, but expected credit loss is estimated over the lifetime of the instrument. |
• | Stage 3: When there is objective evidence that the financial instrument is impaired, the provision of credit losses will be calculated as the expected credit loss over the life of the asset. The method is similar to that for Stage 2, with the PD set at 100 percent. |
It is possible that the inputs and models used to calculate the expected loss do not reflect all the characteristics of the market as of the date of the financial statements. As a result, occasionally, subsequent qualitative adjustments to the model are performed when there are significant differences. See Note 30.1(d.7).
Financial guarantee contracts
The Group measures each financial guarantee as the highest of the amount initially recognized minus cumulative amortization recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and the ECL provision. For this purpose, the Group estimates ECL based on the present value of the expected payments to reimburse the holder for a credit loss that it incurs. The deficits are discounted by the risk-adjusted interest rate relevant to the exposure. The ECLs related to financial guarantee contracts are recognized in provisions.
(iii) | Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income - |
The ECLs for debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income do not reduce the carrying amount of these financial assets in the consolidated statement of financial position, which remains at fair value. However, the expected losses that arise at each measurement date must be reclassified from other comprehensive income to results of the period.
(iv) | Credit cards - |
The Group calculates the expected losses in a period that reflects the Group’s expectations regarding the client’s behavior, probability of default and the Group’s future risk mitigation procedures that could include the reduction or cancellation of lines of credit. Based on past experience and the Group’s expectations, the period during which the Group calculates the expected lifetime losses of this product until November 2021 was 17 months. From December 2021 it is 16 months.
The assessment of whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for revolving products is similar to other credit products. This is based on changes in the customer’s credit rating, as explained in Note 30.1(d).
The interest rate used to discount the ECL for credit cards is based on the average effective interest rate that is expected to be charged over the expected period of exposure to the facilities. This estimation takes into account that many facilities are repaid in full each month and are consequently not charged interest.
F-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(v) | Forward-looking information - |
In its expected credit loss models, the Group relies on the following macroeconomic variables as forward-looking information inputs as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
GDP growth | 0X | 0X | ||||||
Unemployment rate | 0X | |||||||
Gross capital formation | 0X | |||||||
Consumer | 0X | 0X | ||||||
Domestic demand | 0X | 0X | ||||||
Purchase capacity | 0X | |||||||
Real compensation | 0X | |||||||
Unit labor cost | 0X |
The inputs and models used, see Note 30.1, for calculating ECLs may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the consolidated financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays are occasionally made as temporary adjustments when such differences are significantly material. Detailed information about these inputs are provided in Note 30.1(d).
(vi) | Valuation of guarantees - |
To mitigate the credit risks on financial assets, the Group generally uses three types of guarantees: physical guarantee, personal guarantees and title guarantees.
The guarantee, unless recovered, is not recorded in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. However, the fair value of the guarantee affects the calculation of the expected losses, and because of that, it is assessed periodically.
The nominal contract value of the guarantees and the letters of credit not used where the loan was agreed to be granted is in market terms, is not recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. The nominal values of these instruments together with the corresponding expected losses are disclosed in Note 30.1(d).
To the extent possible, the Group uses active market data for valuing financial assets held as guarantees.
Non-financial
guarantees, such as real estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such as appraisers.(vii) | Write-offs - |
Financial assets are written off only when the Group has stopped pursuing the recovery, at which time the cumulative provision recorded coincides with the total amount of the asset.
(viii) | Refinanced and modified loans - |
The Group may make concessions or modifications to the original terms of loans as a response to the borrower’s financial difficulties, rather than taking possession or to otherwise enforce collection of guarantees. Once the terms have been renegotiated, any impairment is measured using the original EIR (as calculated before the modification of terms). It is the Group’s policy to monitor refinanced loans to help ensure that future payments continue to be likely to occur.
F-
42
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
A refinanced asset is initially classified into Stage 2 and there will be no
clean-up
period. However, if the financial asset presents a default mark, it will be reclassified from Stage 2 to Stage 3.During 2020 and due to the
Covid-19
pandemic, Interbank granted reschedulings to its clients, which consisted of modifying payment schedules and/or granting grace periods to mitigate the financial and economic impact. During 2021, Interbank granted reschedulings to clients with loans guaranteed by the “Reactiva Peru” program, which consisted of extending the original grace periods (12 months) to provide for an additional 6 or 12 months and modifying the payment schedules. Such rescheduling turned out to be in lesser proportions compared to those performed during 2020. Likewise, on the basis of a monitoring of the economic situation of the country as a consequence of theCovid-19
pandemic, increases in the credit risk of said clients were identified and, therefore, additional provisions were constituted through subsequent adjustments to the expected loss model based on expert jugdments for each of the loans types. See Note 30.1(d).(j) | Hedge derivatives - |
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. All derivatives are recognized as assets when the fair value is positive and they are recorded as “Accounts receivables related to derivative financial instruments” under “Other accounts receivable and other assets, net” and as liabilities when they are negative and they are recorded as “Accounts payable related to derivative financial instruments” under “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Derivatives can be designated as hedging instruments under hedge accounting and in the event they qualify, depending upon the nature of the hedged item, the method for recognizing gains or losses from changes in fair value will be different. These derivatives, which are used to hedge exposures to risk or modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities and that meet IFRS 9 criteria, are recognized as hedging accounting.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments or that do not qualify for hedging accounting are initially recognized at fair value and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value, which is estimated based on the market exchange rate and interest rate. Gains or losses due to changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income, see Note 3.4(f.2).
In accordance with IFRS 9, to qualify for hedge accounting, all of the following conditions must be met:
(i) | The hedging relationship consists of only hedging instruments and eligible hedged items. |
(ii) | At the inception of the hedge, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. This documentation will include the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and the way the entity will assess if the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements. |
(iii) | The hedging relationship meets all the following hedge effectiveness requirements: |
• | There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. |
F-
43
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | The effect of the credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship. |
• | The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity actually uses to hedge that quantity of the hedged item. |
IFRS 9 presents three hedge accounting categories: fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, and hedge of net investments in a foreign operation. The Group uses derivatives as hedging instruments under cash flow hedges, as detailed in Note 10(b).
For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedge, the effective portion of derivative gains or losses is recognized in other comprehensive income for cash flow hedge, and reclassified to income in the same period or periods in which the hedge transaction affects income. The portion of gain or loss on derivatives that represents the ineffective portion or the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized immediately in income. Amounts originally recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to income are recorded in the corresponding income or expenses lines in which the related hedged item is reported.
When a hedging instrument expires, is sold, when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or when the Group
re-designates
a hedge, the cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income is kept and recognized in income when the hedged item is ultimately recognized in the consolidated statement of income. When a projected transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the consolidated statement of income.(k) | Leases - |
The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement at contract inception: whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or whether the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset., even if it is not explicitly specified in the contract in exchange for consideration.
(i) | The Group as a lessee - |
The Group, as a lessee, applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of
low-value
assets.• | Right-of-use |
The Group recognizesassets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use).assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost ofassets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The Group holds asassets: land lots, buildings and facilities and furniture and equipment. Land lots do not depreciate; buildings and facilities and furniture and equipment depreciate based on the straight-line method during the lease term and are presented in Note 8 “Property, furniture and equipment, net”, and are subject to impairment.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Lease liabilities - |
The Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Given that this interest rate implicit in the lease agreement is not easily determinable, in the calculation of the present value of the lease payments, the Group uses the rate it applies to its loans. The lease payments include fixed payments (less any lease incentives receivable), variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs. Lease liabilities are presented in Note 10 as “Lease liabilities” in the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities”.
The Group performs accounting estimates related to the determination of terms and rates of the lease agreements, as detailed below:
• | Determination of the lease term for lease contracts with renewal and termination options The Group as a lessee determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control that affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g., construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation of the leased asset). |
• | Estimating the incremental borrowing rate To determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate - “IBR” to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use |
The Group used the exemption proposed by the standard for short term and low value assets; thus, short term and low value lease agreements are kept classified as operating leases, and the disbursements incurred due to these leases are recorded in the caption “Administrative expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.
F-
45
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(ii) | The Group as a lessor – |
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group holds the following types of leases:
• | Financial leases – |
Leases in which the Group substantially transfers all risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset are classified as financial leases.
Financial leases are recognized as loans at the present value of the installments. The difference between the total value receivable and the present value of the loan is recognized as accrued interest. This income is recognized during the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method, which reflects a constant rate of return.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, leasing receivables are subject to the financial asset impairment policy; see Notes 3.4(f.1) and (g).
• | Operating leases – |
Leases in which the Group does not substantially transfers all risks and benefits related to the ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases.
Lease revenues obtained from investment properties are recorded using the straight-line method for the contract terms, and they are recorded as a revenue in the consolidated statement of income due to their operative nature, except for contingent lease revenues, which are recorded when realized.
The lease term is the
non-cancelable
period, together with any other additional period for which a lessee has the option of continuing with the lease, where, at the start date of the lease, Management is reasonably confident that a lessee will exercise such option.Amounts received from tenants to terminate leases or to compensate impairment of leased facilities are recognized as revenues in the consolidated statement of income when the right to receive them arises. Service charges, administration expenses and other recoverable expenses paid by the lessees and the revenues resulting from expenses charged to the lessees are recognized in the period in which the compensation becomes an account receivable. Service charges and administration expenses and other receipts are included in the gross revenues from rentals of the related costs, given that Management considers that the Group acts as principal party.
(l) | Customer Loyalty Program - |
The Group has a customer loyalty program, which allows customers to accumulate points that can be exchanged for products. Loyalty points give rise to a separate performance obligation, since they provide a material right to the customer. A part of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points granted to customers on the basis of the relative independent selling price and is recognized as a contractual liability until the points are redeemed and presented as “Other accounts payable” in the item “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position. Expenses are provisioned montlhy regardless of the customer’s redemption of products.
F-4
6
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
By estimating the selling price independent of the loyalty points, the Group considers the probability of a client will use the cumulated points. The Group updates the estimates of points to be monthly redeemed and any adjustment to the liability balance will be recognized in the caption “Administrative expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.
(m) | Services of purchase-sale of financial investments “principal versus agent”- |
The Group has contracts with customers to buy and sell, on their behalf, financial investments in the stock market andmarket. The Group acts as an agent in these agreements.
over-the-counter
When another party participates in the supply of services to their client, the Group determines whether it is a principal or an agent in these transactions when evaluating the nature of its agreement with the client. The Group is a principal and records the revenue by gross amounts if it controls the committed services before transferring to the customer. However, if the Group’s role is only to arrange for another entity to provide the services, then the Group is an agent and records the revenues for the net amount it retains for its services as an agent.
(n) | Investments in associates - |
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity, but without having control over those policies. The considerations taken for determining significant influence are similar to those needed to determine control over Subsidiaries.
The Group’s investments in its associates are recognized initially at cost and then are accounted for using the equity method. The Group’s investments in associates are included in the caption “Other accounts receivable and other assets, net” of the consolidated statement of financial position, see note 10. Gains resulting from the use of the equity method of accounting are included in the caption “Other income” of the consolidated statement of income.
(o) | Investment property - |
Investment property comprises land and buildings (mainly shopping malls, educational institutions and offices) that are not occupied substantially for use in the operations of the Group, nor for sale in the ordinary course of business, but are held primarily to earn rental income and capital appreciation. These buildings are substantially rented and not intended to be sold in the ordinary course of business. Investment property comprises completed property and property under construction or
re-development.
The Group measures its investment property at fair value according to the requirements of IAS 40 “Investment Property”, as it has chosen to use the fair value model as its accounting policy.
Investment property is measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, that include transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services and initial leasing commissions to bring the property to the condition necessary to start operating. The carrying amount also includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met.
Properties under construction are measured based on estimates prepared by independent real estate valuation experts, except where such values (e.g.incurred on properties under construction) cannot be readily determined. Accordingly, theincurred on properties under construction is measured at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably measurable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier). Investment property under construction includes the value of land, which is determined by appraisals performed by an accredited appraiser using the price per square meter as a market comparable method.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is recorded at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair values are included in the caption “Net gain on investment property” of the consolidated statement of income in the year in which they arise.
Fair values are assessed periodically by Management, based on the discounted cash flows that are expected to be obtained from these investments. Fair values of investment properties under construction or investment properties held to operate in the future are assessed by an independent external appraiser, through the application of a recognized valuation model. See Note 7 for details of fair value and related assumptions.
Transfers to or from Investment property are made only when there is a change in the use of the asset. In case of assets transferred from Investment property to Property, furniture and equipment, the reclassified amount corresponds to the asset’s fair value at the date when the asset’s use was changed. If an item of Property, furniture and equipment moves to Investment property, the Group transfers the fixed asset’s net cost to Investment property and the asset is subsequently measured at fair value according to the policies established by the Group.
During 2021, the Group transferred part of the “Pardo y Aliaga” building, located in San Isidro, Lima, from “Property, furniture and equipment” to “Investment property”, for
. Likewise during 2020, considering the new rented spaces, the Group transferred part of the “Orquídeas” building, located in San Isidro, Lima, from “Property, furniture and equipment” to “Investment property”,
Investment property is derecognized when it has been disposed or withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset would result in either gains or losses at the retirement or disposal of investment property. Any gains or losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income of the year of retirement or disposal.
(p) | Property, furniture and equipment, net - |
Property, furniture and equipment are stated at historical acquisition cost less residual value, cumulative depreciation and impairment losses, if applicable. The historical acquisition cost includes the expenses that are directly attributable to the acquired property, furniture or equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to the consolidated statement of income; significant renewals and improvements are capitalized when it is probable that future economic benefits, in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance, will result from the use of the acquired property, furniture or equipment.
Land does not depreciate. Depreciation of property, furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Years | ||
Buildings and facilities | 40 - 75 | |
Leasehold improvements | 5 | |
Furniture and equipment | 10 | |
Vehicles | 5 |
F-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
An item of property, furniture and equipment and any significant part initially recognized, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of income.
The residual value of each asset, its useful life and the selected depreciation method are periodically reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with current economic benefits and useful life expectations.
(q) | Assets seized through legal actions - |
Assets seized through legal actions are recorded in the item “Others” of the caption “Other accounts receivable and other assets, net” of the consolidated statement of financial position, see note 10; and are recognized at the lower value between the cost or the estimated market value (minus cost to sell), determined from valuations made by independent appraisers. Reductions in book value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
(r) | Intangible assets with finite useful lives - |
Generally, the intangible assets with finite useful lives are included in the caption “Intangibles and goodwill, net” of the consolidated statement of financial position and they are mainly costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of computer software used in operations and other minor intangible assets. The amortization expense is calculated following the straight-line method over the useful life estimated between 4 and 5 years; see Note 9.
On the other hand, when an insurance contract portfolio is acquired, whether directly from another insurance company, as described in Note 14(b), regarding the purchase of the portfolio of Complementary Accident Insurance for High-risk Activities (henceforth “SCTR” by its Spanish acronym) from Mapfre Peru Vida made in 2020, or as part of a business combination (the acquisition of Seguros Sura, see Note
9
(b)), the difference between the fair value of the insurance contracts liability and the value of the insurance contract liability, as measured with the acquirer’s accounting policies, is recognized as an intangible asset named “Present Value ofIn-Force
Business” (henceforth “PVIF”).The PVIFs resulting from the acquisition of Seguros Sura are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their estimated market value at the acquisition date. After the initial recognition, the PVIF is recorded at cost, minus the cumulative amortization and cumulative impairment loss, if any. The PVIF is amortized on a linear basis over the useful life of the acquired policies, which has been estimated in ten years.
The recoverability of PVIF is considered as part of the liability adequacy test performed at each reporting period. PVIF is derecognized when the related contracts are settled or disposed of.
Changes in the estimated useful life or in the pattern of consumption of the expected future economic benefits embedded in the PVIF are recorded by changing the amortization period or method and are treated as a change in an accounting estimate.
Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net amount of the disposal of the asset and the book value of this asset and they are recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the derecognition date.

(s) | Goodwill - |
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for
non-controlling
interests, and any previous interest held, if any, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Groupre-assesses
whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of fair value of net assets aquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any cumulative impairment loss, if any. A goodwill impairment testing is performed on a yearly basis. To perform an impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, since the acquisition date, to one of the Group’s cash-generating units (henceforth “CGU”) that are expected to benefit from the business combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquirer are assigned to those units.
Goodwill impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
Where the goodwill has been allocated to the CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated to the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss of disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the withheld portion of the CGU retained.
Goodwill, recorded by the Group; see Note 9(b), arises from the acquisition of Seguros Sura and, considering that this entity was merged with Interseguro, has been allocated to the CGU of the insurance business.
(t) | Business combinations - |
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method established by IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at the acquisition date’s fair value, and the amount of any
non-controlling
interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group chooses whether to measure thenon-controlling
interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in the caption “Administrative expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical for the capacity to the ability to continue producing outputs , and the inputs acquired include an organized workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge or experience to performe that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without incurring in significant costs, effort or delay in the ability of continue producing outputs.
F-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer shall be recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, is measured at fair value with the changes in the consolidated statement of income or in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IFRS 9, this shall be measured according to the applicable IFRS. The contingent consideration that is classified as equity must not be measured again and its subsequent settlement shall be recorded in equity. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there have been no contingencies arising from business combinations.
A business combination between entities or businesses under common control is beyond the scope of IFRS 3, because it corresponds to a business combination in which all entities or businesses that are combined are ultimately controlled by the same part or parts, both before and after the business combination. In these transactions, the Group recognizes the assets acquired under the method of unification of interest, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combined companies are reflected in their book values and no commercial credit is recognized as a result of the combination.
(u) | Impairment of non-financial assets - |
Property, furniture and equipment and intangible assets with a finite life are assessed to determine whether there are any indications of impairment as of the closing of each period. If any indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable value. The recoverable amount of the assets is the highest between the value of an asset or a CGU less the costs of sale and its use value, and it is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash revenues that are largely independent from those of other assets or groups of assets.
When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a
pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value minus costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used.(v) | Due from customers on acceptances - |
Due from customers on acceptances corresponds to accounts receivable from customers for import and export transactions, whose obligations have been accepted by the Group. The obligations that must be assumed by the Group for such transactions are recorded as liabilities.
(w) | Defined contribution pension plan - |
The Group only operates a defined contribution pension plan. The defined contribution payable in the pension plan is in proportion to the services rendered to the Group by the employees and it is recorded as an expense in the caption “Salaries and employee benefits” of the consolidated statement of income. Unpaid contributions are recorded as liabilities.
F-
51
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(x) | Provisions - |
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the consolidated statement of income, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a
pre-tax
rate that reflects, where appropriate, the specific risks of the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a financial expense.(y) | Contingencies - |
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, but are disclosed in notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, but they are disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will emerge.
(z) | Fair value measurement - |
Fair value is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• | On the principal market for the asset or liability; or |
• | In the absence of a principal market, on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. |
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. Also, the fair value of a liability reflects its
non-performance
risk.The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
When possible, the Group measures the fair value of a financial instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price on an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure the fair value, maximizing the use of relevant and observable data and variables, and minimizing the use of unobservable data and variables.
The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.
In the case of investment property, the Group has considered the specific requirements relating to highest and best use, valuation of premises and principal (or most advantageous) market. The determination of investment property fair value requires the use of estimations such as the future cash flows of the assets (e.g., leases, sales, fixed rents for the different lessees, variable rents based on the sales percentage, operating costs, construction costs, maintenance costs, and the use of discount rates).
F-
5
2
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Additionally, real estate development risks (such as construction and abandonment) are also taken into account when determining the fair value of the land related to the investment property under construction.
The fair value of investment property in the consolidated statement of financial position must reflect the volatile nature of real estate markets; therefore, Management and its appraisers use their market knowledge and professional criteria and do not depend solely on historical comparable transactions. In this sense, there is a higher degree of uncertainty than when a more active market exists for the estimation of fair value. Significant methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair value of investment property are detailed in Note 7.
All assets and liabilities for which the fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy described below:
• | Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 - Valuation techniques for input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable. |
• | Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which data and variables of the lowest significant level to measure fair value are unobservable. |
For assets and liabilities that are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by
re-assessing
categorization at the end of each reporting period.For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of hierarchy of the fair value, as explained above.
Fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 31(b).
(aa) | Income Tax - |
Income Tax is computed based on the separate financial statement of each Subsidiary.
Deferred Income Tax is accounted for in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. In this sense, the deferred Income Tax reflects the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the amounts determined for tax purposes. Deferred assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to be in force in the years in which such temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Consequently, the deferred Income Tax has been calculated by applying the rates that are in force; see Note 17(c). The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that arise from the manner in which each individual entity of the Group expects, at the consolidated statement of financial position dates, to recover or settle the carrying amount of their assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the temporary differences are likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be generated against which the deferred tax assets can be offset. At each consolidated statement of financial position date, unrecognized deferred assets and the carrying amount of deferred tax assets registered are assessed. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it has now become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Likewise, the carrying amount of a
F-
5
3
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
deferred tax asset is reduced when it is no longer probable the generation of a sufficient taxable income that allow the application of the tax deferred asset.
According to IAS 12, the deferred Income Tax is determined by applying the Income Tax rate applicable to the retained earnings, recognizing any additional tax on distribution of dividends that may arise on the date when the liability is recognized.
(ab) | Segment information - |
IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires that the information of operating segments be disclosed consistently with information provided by the chief operating decision maker, who allocates resources to the segments and assesses their performance. Segment information is presented in Note 28.
(ac) | Fiduciary activities and management of funds - |
The Group provides trust management, investment management, advisory and custody services to third parties that result in the holding of assets on their behalf. These assets and the income arising thereon are excluded from these consolidated financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group; see Note 32.
Commissions generated from these activities are included in the caption “Fee income from financial services, net” of the consolidated statement of income.
(ad) | Earnings per share - |
The amount of basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group does not have financial instruments with dilutive effect, therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical for the years reported.
(ae) | Capital surplus - |
It is the difference between the nominal value of shares issued and their public offering price made in 2007 and 2019; see Note 1(c). Capital surplus is presented net of expenses incurred in the issuance of shares.
(af) | Treasury stock - |
Shares repurchased are recorded in the shareholders’ equity under treasury stock caption at their purchase price. No loss or gain is recorded in the consolidated statement of income arising from the purchase, sale, issuance or amortization of these instruments. Shares that are subsequently sold are recorded as a reduction in treasury stock, measured at the average price of treasury stock held at such date; and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of changes in net equity in the caption “Retained earnings”.
(ag) | Cash and cash equivalents - |
Cash presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows includes cash and due from banks balances with original maturities lower than three months, excludes the restricted funds, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The cash and cash equivalent item does not include accrued interest.
On the other hand, the cash collateral committed as part of a repurchase agreement is included in the “Cash and due from banks” caption of the consolidated statement of financial position; see Note 4(d).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(ah) | Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform” - Phase 1 - |
Since 2019, the Group applies the exceptions of the Interest Rate Benchmark reform to all affected hedging relationships. A hedging relationship will be affected if the reform generates uncertainty about the moment or the amount of the cash flows related to the hedged account of the hedging instrument in the period prior to the replacement of the rate benchmark with the alternate rate benchmark, given that this rate can be almost risk free. With exceptions applied, the Group has the intention of avoiding any disruption in the existing relationships in the hedge accounting of cash flows and the fair value of interest rate risk which, in the absence of these amendments, would result in the ineffectiveness of the hedge and potential inconsistencies in the hedge accounting as result of the interest rate benchmark reform.
The exceptions provided by the amendments are:
• | “Highly probable” requirement for cash flow hedges: If the hedged item is a forecast transaction, it will be determined that the forecast transaction is highly probable by assuming that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows are based is not altered as result of the interest rate benchmark reform. |
• | Reclassification of the cash flow hedge reserve to statement of income: To determine if it is not expected that the hedged cash flows occur, it is assumed that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows are based is not altered as result of the interest rate benchmark reform. |
• | Economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedge instrument: It is assumed that the interest rate benchmark on which the hedged cash flows are based, and/or the interest rate benchmark on which the cash flows of the hedge instrument are based, is not altered as result of the interest rate benchmark reform. |
At the end of the periods 2020 and 2021, the Group has exposure to mainly
USD-LIBOR
rates; thus, the impact will be the change into other interest rate benchmark.The main affected items within the Group are the derivative positions (interest rate swaps – IRS, and cross currency swaps – CCS, outstanding as of the transition date which accrue
USD-LIBOR
interest).Additionally, the Group holds some financial instruments with exposure to Euro Interbank Offered Rate (henceforth “EURIBOR”). The exposure represents an amount equivalent to approximately 1% of the Interest Rate Swaps portfolio. The calculation methodology of EURIBOR changed during 2019 through the adoption of a hybrid methodology based mainly, to the extent possible, on observable market data and, in case they are not sufficient, on other market price sources, to assure the strength of EURIBOR. The European Securites and Markets Authority (henceforth the “ESMA”) has assumed the Chair of the EURIBOR College from the Belgian Financial Services and Markets Authority (henceforth the “FSMA”). This College is comprised of the supervisors of the credit institutions that contribute to EURIBOR. The Group expects that EURIBOR will continue to exist as benchmark rate in the foreseeable future.
These amendments did not have any significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.
Note 10(b)(vi) details the nominal value and the average term in years of derivative financial instruments that are subject to the interest rate benchmark reform.

(ai) | Reclassifications on financial statements as of December 31, 2019 – |
During 2020, the Company’s Management performed an analysis on the nature of the products “Renta Particular Plus” and “Renta Particular Plus - Vitalicio”, considering the important growth they have had during the last years, and which are recorded in the caption “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities”, considering mainly the financial component included in these products. This analysis had the purpose to reflect better the characteristics of such products. In this regard, the product “Renta Particular Plus”, for which a majority of contracts (policies) have an important financial component, remained as a financial liability, while the product “Renta Particular Plus - Vitalicio”, which has a significant insurance component, was determined to be reclassified and presented as an insurance product according to IFRS 4 (Insurance contract liabilities).
In this sense, the balances of the product “Renta Particular Plus - Vitalicio” were reclassified from “Other accounts payable, provisions and other liabilities” into the caption “Insurance contracts liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position, see Notes 10 and 14, respectively; and its respective effects on income from the captions “Net premiums earned” and “Net claims incurred for life insurance and others” into the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income, see Notes 22 and 19, respectively. Lastly, with the purpose of making comparable the consolidated financial statements, the balances of previous periods were modified, as presented below:
Before reclassification | Reclassification | After reclassification | ||||||||||
S/(000) | S/(000) | S/(000) | ||||||||||

Net claims and benefits incurred for life insurance contracts and others | (722,305 | ) | 22,041 | (700,264 | ) |
In Group Management’s opinion, these reclassifications allow a better presentation in the consolidated financial statements.
3.5 | Standards issued but not yet effective - |
The following is a description of the new and amended standards and interpretations issued, but which are not yet in force at the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective:
• | IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” - |
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance contracts, covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”, issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life,
non-life,
direct insurance andre-insurance),
regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptionsF-
5

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
will apply. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are based to a large extent on the compliance of previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects. IFRS 17 is a general model which is complemented by:
(i) | A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach). |
(ii) | A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short-duration contracts. |
IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023, with the presentation of comparative figures required. Early application is permitted, provided the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on or before the date that it first applies IFRS 17. The Group has been applying these two standards since 2018.
Due to the complexity and the requirements established by IFRS 17, Management began the respective implementation procedure through its subsidiary, Interseguro, and must complete said process during the fourth quarter of 2022.
• | Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current” - |
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 with the purpose of specifying the requisites for the classification of liabilities as current or
non-current.
The amendments clarify:• | What is meant by a right to defer a settlement arrangement. |
• | That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period. |
• | That liability classification unaffected by the likehood that an entity will exercise its deferral right. |
• | That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. |
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. These amendments are not applicable to the Group because given the nature of its operations (mainly banking and insurance), it does not perform the classification of current and
non-current
in its financial statements.• | Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations: References to the Conceptual Framework” - |
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations: References to the Conceptual Framework”. The amendment is intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the conceptual framework for financial reporting issued in March 2018, without significantly changing its requirements.
The IASB also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the recognition of potential gains or losses arising for contingent assets and liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, if incurred separately.
At the same time, the IASB decided to clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.
F-

7
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and apply prospectively.
It is not expected that the amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds Before Intended Use” - |
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds Before Intended Use”, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of fixed asset, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the way intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in the statement of income.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of fixed assets made available for use on or after the beginning of the earlier period presented when the entity first applies the amendment.
It is not expected that the amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | Amendments to IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract” - |
In May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.
The amendments are applied on a “directly related costs approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both the incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to the contractual activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
It is not expected that the amendments will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Subsidiary as a First-time Adopter” |
As part of its 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. This amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 to cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition into IFRS. This amendment is also applied to an associated or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted.

• | IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments – Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ Test for Derecognition of Financial Liabilities” - |
As part of 2018-2020 annual improvements to IFRS standards process, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 9. The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier adoption permitted. The Group will apply the amendments to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.
It is not expected that the amendment will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in estimates and errors”: Definition of accounting estimates |
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces a definition of accounting estimates. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is allowed as long as this fact is disclosed.
It is not expected that the amendment will have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
• | Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies - |
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 “Making Materiality Judgements”, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their “significant” accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their material accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments to IAS 1 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. Since the amendments to the IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide
non-mandatory
guidance on the application of the definition of material to accounting policy information, an effective date for these amendments is not necessary.As of the date of this report, the Group’s Management is assessing these amendments to determine their impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3.6 | Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions - |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statement of the Group requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, Management has used judgments and assumptions about the future and other key sources to make its estimates at the reporting date, which have a significant risk that may cause a material adjustment to the value in books of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The estimates and existing assumptions may change due to circumstances beyond the control of the Group and are reflected in assumptions if they occur. The items with the most impact recognized in the consolidated financial statements with judgements and/or considerable estimates include the following: the calculation of the impairment of the portfolio of loans and financial investments, the measurement of the fair value of the financial investments and investment properties, the assessment of the impairment of the goodwill, the liabilities for insurance contracts and the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments; also, there are other estimates such as provisions for litigation, the estimated useful life of intangible assets, and property, furniture and equipment, and the estimation of assets and liabilities for deferred Income Tax, and the determination of terms and estimation of the interest rate of lease agreements. The accounting criteria used for each of these items are described in Note 3.4.

As a result of the assessment of the impairment of its debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group recorded a reversal of impairment of

(d) | As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, investments at amortized cost corresponds to Sovereign Bonds of the Republic of Peru issued in Soles, for an amount of S/3,296,030,000 and S/2,707,298,000, respectively, including accrued interest. Said investments present low credit risk and the expected credit loss is not significant. |
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, these investments have maturity dates that range from September 2023 to August 2037, have accrued interest at effective annual rates ranging from 4.29 percent and 6.58 percent, and estimated fair value amounting to approximately S/3,181,392,000 (as of December 31, 2020, their maturity dates ranged from September 2023 to August 2037, accrued interests at effective annual rates between 4.29 percent and 5.15 percent, and its estimated fair value amounted to approximately S/2,988,539,000).
During 2019, the Government of the Republic of Peru performed public offerings to buyback certain sovereign bonds, with the purpose of renewing its debt and funding the fiscal deficit. Considering the purpose of this offering, subsequently to it, there should not be existing remaining sovereign bonds of the repurchased issuances or, in case of existing, they would become illiquid on the market. In that sense, Interbank took part of these public offerings and sold to the Government of the Republic of Peru sovereign bonds classified as investments at amortized cost for approximately S/340,518,000, generating a gain amounting to S/8,474,000, which was recorded in the caption “Net gain from derecognition of financial investments at amortized cost” of the consolidated statement of income. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, and with the purpose of maintaining its asset management strategy,
Interbank
purchased simultaneously other sovereign bonds of the Republic of Peru for approximately S/340,432,000 and classified them as investments at amortized cost. In Management’s opinion and pursuant to IFRS 9, said transaction is congruent with the Group’s business model because although said sales were significant, they were infrequent and were performed with the sole purpose of facilitating the debt renewal and the funding of the fiscal deficit of the Republic of Peru, and thus the business model regarding these assets has always been the collection of the contractual cash flows.As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interbank keeps loans with the BCRP that are guaranteed with these sovereign bonds, classified as restricted, for approximately S/1,643,293,000 and S/1,071,740,000, respectively; see Note 12(b).

(*) | Corresponds mainly to: (i) the variation between the amortized cost of the loan at the beginning of the year and its amortized cost at the end of the year (partial amortizations that did not represent a reduction or derecognized of the loan), and (ii) the execution of contingent loans (conversion of indirect debt into direct debt). |
(**) | Corresponds mainly to: (i) the variation between the amortized cost of the loan at the beginning of the year and its amortized cost at the end of the year (variation in the provision recorded for partial amortizations that did not represent a reduction or derecognized of the loan), (ii) variations in credit risk that did not generate transfers to other stages, and (iii) the execution of contingent loans (conversion of indirect debt into direct debt). |
(***) | With the purpose of reflecting the impact of the uncertainty due to the Covid-19 pandemic, see Note 1(b), during 2020, the Group decided to apply the expert judgment to perform migrations of clients with higher risk from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and Stage 3, and from Stage 2 to Stage 3. These migrations to higher risk stages led to incur in a higher provision for expected losses. During 2021, the Group decided to apply a new expert judgment, see Note 30.1(d.7). |

(e) | In Management’s opinion, the allowance for loan losses recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, has been established in accordance with IFRS 9; and it is sufficient to cover incurred losses on the loan portfolio. |
(f) | The interest that the loan portfolio generates is freely agreed considering the interest rates prevailing on the market. In March 2021, the government published Act No. 31143, “Act Protecting Consumers of Financial Services from Usury”, through which the Congress of the Republic of Peru established that the BCRP has theability to establish maximum and minimum interest rates thatparticipants in the Peruvian financial system can charge. In April 2021, the BCRP established the methodology for the calculation of the maximum interest rate for consumer, small and micro-business loans, which shall be updated semi-annually in May and November. The maximum interest rate for the period November 2021-April 2022 is 83.64 percent in national currency and 66.08 percent in foreign currency. |
(g) | Interest income from loans classified in Stage 3 is calculated through the effective interest rate adjusted for credit quality at amortized cost. |
(h) | The refinanced loans during the 2021 period amounted to approximately S/114,747,000 (S/188,311,000, during 2020) which had no significant impact on the consolidated statement of income. |
During 2020, the Group has modified the contractual conditions of a determined number of loans as relief for its clients’ liquidity as
a
consequence of theCovid-19
pandemic, for a total of approximately S/12,663,960,000. Said loans are not considered as refinanced loans. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balances of the rescheduled loans amount to approximately S/6,266,601,000 and S/10,489,296,000; see further detail in Note 30(d.5).Additionally, during 2021, the Group has modified the contractual conditions of a determined number of loans that were granted under the “Reactiva Peru” program, for a total amount of approximately S/2,012,855,000. Said loans were not deemed as refinanced loans. As of December 31, 2021, the balance of rescheduled loans amounts
to
approximately S/1,974,180,000, see further detail in Note 30(d.6).F-

The Group decided to apply the expert judgment to perform migrations of clients with higher risk from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and Stage 3, and from Stage 2 to Stage 3 to capture the uncertainty and risks due to the pandemic situation. These migrations to higher risk Stages led to incur in a higher provision for expected losses during 2020. During 2021, the Group decided to apply a new expert judgment; see Note 30.1(d.7).

(d) | During 2021, it mainly corresponds to the purchase of the “Paseo del Bosque” building, which was purchased from a third party. |
During 2020, it mainly corresponds to outlays related to the purchase of the “Piura” building, which was purchased from a related entity.
During 2019, main additions are outlays related to the construction of the “Chimbote” and “Chorrillos” educational centers.
(e) | During 2019, Interseguro sold to related entities, in cash and at market value, two land lots located in Lima. Likewise, it sold to third parties, in cash and at market value, an educational center and offices located in Lima. For these sales, the Group reported a net loss of about S/7,164,000. |
(f) | Fair value measurement – Investment property and investment property under construction |
Valuation techniques -
The discounted cash flow (henceforth “DCF”) method is used for completed shopping malls, buildings and investment property built on land leases and own lands.
This method involves the projection of a series of periodic cash flows at present value through a discount rate. The periodic calculation of the cash flows is normally determined as rental income net of operating expenses. The series of periodic net operating income, together with an estimation of the terminal value (which uses the traditional valuation method) at the end of the projection period, is discounted at present value. The sum of the net current values is equal to the investment property’s fair value.
F-8

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The fair value of land is determined based on the value assigned by an external appraiser. The external appraiser uses the market comparable method, under this method a property’s fair value is estimated based on comparable transactions. The unit of comparison applied by the Group is the price per square meter. Following are the minimum ranges, maximum ranges and the average price for the land, before any adjustment:
Minimum range | Maximum range | Average | ||||||||||
US$ per m2 | US$ per m2 | US$ per m2 | ||||||||||
San Isidro – Lima | 7,047 | 8,800 | 7,952 | |||||||||

Others | 204 | 302 | 244 |
Main assumptions
Below is a brief description of the assumptions considered in the determination of cash flows as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:
• | ERV (Estimated Rental Value) - |
Corresponds to the Estimated Rental Value, that is, the amount for which the space could be rented under the market conditions prevailing at the valuation date.
• | Long-term inflation - |
It is the increase of the general level of prices expected in Peru for the long term.
• | Long-term occupancy rate - |
It is the expected occupancy level of lessees in the leased properties.
• | Average growth rate of rental income - |
It is the rate that expresses the rental income growth and includes growth factors of the industry, inflation rates, stable exchange rate, per capita income and increasing expenses.
• | Average Net Operating Income (NOI) margin - |
It is projected from the rental income from leasable areas, by property and marketing income, minus costs related to administration fees, other administrative expenses, insurance, taxes and other expenses.
• | Discount rate - |
It reflects the current market risk and the uncertainty associated to obtaining cash flows.

Likewise, a significant increase (decrease) in the price per square meter of the land lots could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
(g) | The nominal amounts of the future minimum fixed rental income of the Group’s investment property (operating leases) are as follows: |

(b) | Goodwill |
In 2017, IFS acquired 99.39 percent of Seguros Sura’s capital stock and 99.42 percent of Hipotecaria Sura’s capital stock. In March 2018, Interseguro merged with Seguro Sura, using the method of absorption, originating the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of Seguros Sura to the absorbing company and extinguishing without having to liquidate.
The goodwill resulting from the purchase of Seguros Sura and Hipotecaria Sura represents the future synergies that are expected to arise from the combination of operations, distribution channels, workforce and other efficiencies not included in the intangible assets of the present value of acquired
in-force
business.The goodwill recorded by the Group has been allocated to the CGU (cash generated unit) comprised of the merged entity.
The recoverable amount for the CGU was determined based on the income approach, specifically the dividend discount model.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the key assumptions used for the calculation of fair value are:
• | Perpetuity growth rate: 4.5%. |
• | Discount rate: 12.5% (2021 and 2020) |
10-year
cash flows and a perpetuity estimates were included in the dividend discount model. The estimated growth rates are based on the historical performance and the expectations of Management over the development of the market. Long-term perpetuity growth rate was determined based on reports from the sector.The discount rate represents the assessment of the CGU specific risks. The discount rate was established considering the Company’s capital structure, the cost of capital coming from the benefits that the Group’s investors expect to obtain, from the specific risk incorporated by applying comparable individual beta factors adapted to the CGU’s debt structure and from the country and market specific risk premiums for the CGU. Beta factors are assessed on an annual basis using available market information.
The key assumptions described above can change if the market conditions and the economy change. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group estimates that the reasonableness of possible changes in these assumptions would not make the recoverable amount of the CGU decrease to an amount lower than its book value.
As of December 31, 2019, Hipotecaria Sura Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria S.A., company dedicated to grant mortgage loans and acquired as part of the acquisition of the Sura Group in 2017, was extinguished. Due to this, the decrease in its corresponding goodwill was recorded for an amount of

(c) | The Board of Directors of Interbank session held on July 13, 2021, agreed to redeem the entirety of these subordinated bonds, on September 30, 2021. |
(d) | On September 30, 2020, Interseguro issued subordinated bonds denominated “Third Issuance of the Third Program of Subordinated Bonds Interseguro (Single Series)” for the amount of US$25,000,000, recorded in Section “Transferable Securities and Issuance Programs” of the Public Registry of the Stock Market, under the Third Program of Subordinated Bonds of Interseguro. |

Starting on July 8, 2025,
with
prior authorization by the SBS, Interbank will be able to redeem the entirety of the bonds, having to pay a redemption price of 100 percent of the issued subordinated bonds. From that date onwards, in case Interbank does not perform the early redemption, the interest rate will increase by 371.1 basis points. After July 8, 2025,with
prior authorization by the SBS, Interbank will be able to redeem the entirety of the bonds, having to pay a redemption price of 100 percent of the issued subordinated bonds plus the present value of each scheduled coupon payment, discounted at the redemption date.(f) | On September 24, 2019, Interbank placed corporate bonds denominated “5.00% Senior Notes due 2026” for S/312,000,000, under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1993 of the United States of America. These bonds were issued on October 1, 2019. |
(g) | On September 25, 2019, Interbank placed corporate bonds denominated “3.25% Senior Notes due 2026” for US$400,000,000, under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1993 of the United States of America. These bonds were issued on October 4, 2019. |
As part of said program, on September 19, 2019, Interbank announced of a buyback offering in cash of the senior bonds denominated “5.750% Senior Notes Due 2020”
issued by the Panama Branch. However, as of October 2, 2019, only
approximately 37.52 percent of the holders had accepted the buyback offering in cash.In this sense, for the remaining bondholders that did not accept the buyback offering, Interbank communicated them its decision to exercise the early redemption option of said instruments; the redemption date was November 4, 2019.
In this regard, Interbank incurred in expenses for the partial buyback of the bonds and for the early redemption option amounting to US$12,755,000 (equivalent to approximately S/42,270,000), which were recorded as “Interest for bonds, notes and other obligations” in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” in the consolidated statement of income.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Likewise, as part of that program, Interbank made an exchange offer addressed to the holders of the corporate bonds denominated “5.750% Senior Notes due 2020” issued by the Panama Branch, managing to exchange bonds for an amount of US$263,322,000, which generated an exchange premium of approximately US$21,573,000, which are presented together in the caption “Bonds, notes and other obligations” for an amount of US$284,895,000.
In this regard, considering the issuance of bonds in January 2018 and the exchange of bonds made, the total balance of the “3.375 Senior Unsecured Notes” amounted to US$484,895,000.
The Group concluded that the aforementioned exchange did not generate any substantial modification in the terms and conditions of the financial liability; therefore, it did not recognize a new financial liability. Additionally, according to IFRS 9, the Group reported a gain of approximately US$4,762,000 (equivalent to S/15,286,000), caused by the difference between the present values of both obligations, which were discounted at the effective interest rate of the original financial liability and included in the caption “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income, thus decreasing the interest expenses generated by these issuances.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interbank maintains fourteen cross-currency swaps for a total of US$441,000,000 (equivalent to approximately S/1,758,267,000 and S/1,596,861,000, respectively), see Note 10(b). Through these operations, part of the issued amount by these bonds was economically converted into Soles at a fixed rate of 4.88 percent.
As of December 31, 2021, Management does not intend to redeem these bonds before their maturity date; this situation may change in the future, depending on market conditions.
(i) | Starting in March 2024, the applicable interest rate will be a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR plus 576 basis points payable quarterly. Starting on that date and on any interest payment date, Interbank can redeem all the notes without penalties. |
In accordance with SBS regulation, this issuance qualifies as second level equity (Tier 2) in the determination of the effective equity; see Note 16(f).
As of December 31, 2021, Management does not intend to redeem these bonds before their maturity date; this situation may change in the future, depending on market conditions
.
(j) | From 2018 until July 2027, IFS, at any time, can redeem these bonds, paying a penalty equal to the United States Treasury rate plus 30 basis points. The payment of principal will take place on the maturity date of the bonds or when IFS redeems them. |
In October 2017, IFS entered a cross currency swap for US$150,000,000 (equivalent to approximately S/598,050,000 and S/543,150,000, asof 5.06 percent.
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively), which was designated as a cash flow hedge, see Note 10(b). Through this operation, part of the issued amount of these bonds was economically converted to Soles at a fix rate
As of December 31, 2021, Management does not intend to redeem these bonds before their maturity date. This situation may change in the future, depending on market conditions.

(f) | Shareholders’ equity for legal purposes (regulatory capital) - |
IFS is not required to establish a regulatory capital for statutory purposes. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the regulatory capital required for Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank (a Subsidiary of Inteligo Group Corp.), is calculated based on the separate financial statement of each Subsidiary and prepared following the specifications stated by their regulators (the SBS or the Central Bank of the Bahamas, in the case of Inteligo Bank).
The regulatory capital required for Interbank, Interseguro and Inteligo Bank is detailed below:
Interbank’s regulatory capital -
According to Legislative Decree No. 1028 and amendments, Interbank’s regulatory capital must be equal to or higher than 10 percent of the assets and contingent credits weighted by total risk represented by the sum of: the regulatory capital requirement for market risk multiplied by 10, the regulatory capital requirement for operational risk multiplied by 10 and the assets and contingent credits weighted by credit risk.
However, through Multiple Official Letter No. 27358-2021, the SBS established that in the period between April 2021 and March 2022, the regulatory capital for financial companies shall be equal or higher than 8 percent. Once this period ends, the regulatory capital shall go back to the percentage initially defined (10 percent of the assets and contingent loans weighted by total risks).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interbank maintains the following amounts related to the risk weighted assets and contingent and regulatory capital (basic and supplementary):
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
S/(000) | S/(000) | |||||||
Total risk weighted assets and credits | 57,570,306 | 51,451,816 | ||||||
Total regulatory capital | 9,135,614 | 8,742,126 | ||||||
Basic regulatory capital (Level 1) | 6,262,096 | 5,930,657 | ||||||
Supplementary regulatory capital (Level 2) | 2,873,518 | 2,811,469 | ||||||
Global capital to regulatory capital ratio | 15.87 | % | 16.99 | % |
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interbank has complied with SBS Resolutions No.2115-2009, No.6328-2009 and No.14354-2009, “Regulations for the Regulatory Capital Requirement for Operational Risk”, “Market Risk” and “Credit Risk”, respectively, as amended. These resolutions establish, mainly, the methodologies to be applied by financial entities to calculate the assets and credits weighted per type of risk.
In July 2011, the SBS issued Resolution No. 8425-2011, modified by Resolution SBS
No. 603-2016
and SBSNo. 975-2016,
which states that financial entities must determine an additional regulatory capital level and develop a process to assess the adequacy of their regulatory capital in relation with their risk profile, which must follow the methodology described in said resolution. The additional regulatory capital requirement shall be equivalent to the amount of regulatory capital requirements calculated for each of the following components: economic cycle, concentration risk, market concentration risk and interest rate risk in the bank book, among others. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the additional regulatory capital estimated by Interbank amounts to approximately S/587,350,000 and S/341,328,000, respectively.In December 2021, the SBS issued Resolution No. 3921-2021, through which it establishes the modification to the calculation of the additional regulatory capital requirement for market concentration, considering the criteria of size, interconnection, substitutability and complexity. Likewise, it establishes two years
phase-in
period starting in December 2022.On March 26, 2020, the SBS issued Resolution No. 1264-2020, establishing that the calculation of regulatory capital requirements in relation to the weighting factor for mortgage loans and
non-revolving
consumer loans that have been subject to rescheduling where expiration terms have been extended, will not be increased. Likewise, such Resolution authorizes to the financial entities to use the additional regulatory capital accumulated for the economic cycle component; see Note 1(b). In that sense, Interbank has granted loan reschedulings to its clients, such rescheduling consisted of performing changes in payment schedules and/or granting of grace periods so that the original term of loans was postponed; however, according to the SBS’s indications, this term postponement has not generated that Interbank needs higher regulatory capital requirements, by the weighting factor.In Group Management’s opinion, Interbank has complied with the requirements established by the aforementioned Resolution.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Interseguro’s regulatory capital -
In accordance with SBS Resolution No. 1124-2006, and its amendments, Interseguro is required to maintain a level of regulatory capital to maintain a minimum equity to support technical risks and other risks that could affect it. The regulatory capital must be higher than the amount resulting from the sum of the solvency net equity, the guarantee fund and the regulatory capital intended to cover credit risks.
The solvency net equity is represented by the higher amount between the solvency margin and the minimal capital. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the solvency net equity is represented by the solvency margin. The solvency margin is the complementary support that insurance entities must maintain to deal with possible situations of excess claims not foreseen in the establishment of technical reserves. The total solvency margin corresponds to the sum of the solvency margins of each branch in which Interseguro operates.
Also, the guarantee fund represents the additional equity support that insurance companies must maintain to deal with the other risks that can affect them and that are not covered by the solvency net equity, such as investment risks and other risks. The monthly amount of said fund must be equivalent to 35 percent of the solvency net equity, calculated in accordance with SBS Resolution No. 1124-2006.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Interseguro’s surplus equity is as follows:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
S/(000) | S/(000) | |||||||

Inteligo Bank’s regulatory capital -
The Central Bank of the Bahamas requires Inteligo Bank to maintain a regulatory capital of not less than 8 percent of its risk weighted assets. Inteligo Bank’s capital ratio as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is the following:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
US$(000) | US$(000) | |||||||
Total eligible capital | 287,196 | 270,709 | ||||||

Capital adequacy ratio (in percentage) | 24.39 | 28.41 | ||||||
In Management’s opinion, its Subsidiaries have complied with the requirements set forth by the regulatory entities.
(g) | Reserves - |
The General Shareholders’ Meeting of IFS held on March 31, 2022, agreed to constitute reserves for S/800,000,000 charged to retained earnings.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The Board of Directors of IFS session held on April 22, 2020, agreed to constitute reserves for S/500,000,000 charged to retained earnings.
(h) | Subsidiaries’ legal and special reserves - |
The Subsidiaries domiciled in Peru are required to establish a reserve equivalent to a certain percentage of their
paid-in
capital (20 or 35 percent, depending on their economic activity) through annual transfers of not less than 10 percent of their net income. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, these reserves amounted to approximately S/1,397,030,000 and S/1,344,250,000, respectively.17. | Tax situation |
(a) | IFS and its Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in the Republic of Panama and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (see Note 2), are not subject to any Income Tax, or any other taxes on capital gains, equity or property. The Subsidiaries incorporated and domiciled in Peru (see Note 2) are subject to the Peruvian Tax legislation; see paragraph (c). |
Peruvian life insurance companies are exempt from Income Tax regarding the income derived from assets linked to technical reserves for pension insurance and annuities from the Private Pension Fund Administration System, as well as income generated through assets related to life insurance contracts with savings component.
In Peru, all income from Peruvian sources obtained from the direct or indirect sale of shares of stock capital representing participation of legal persons domiciled in the country are subject to income tax. For that purpose, an indirect sale shall be considered to have occurred when shares of stock or ownership interests of a legal entity are sold and this legal entity is not domiciled in the country and, in turn, is the holder — whether directly or through other legal entity or entities — of shares of stock or ownership interests of one or more legal entities domiciled in the country, provided that certain conditions established by law occur.
In this sense, the Act states that an assumption of indirect transfer of shares arises when in any of the 12 months prior to disposal, the market value of shares or participations of the legal person domiciled is equivalent
non-domiciled.
Additionally, as a concurrent condition, it is established that in any period of 12 month-p
shares or participations representing 10 eriod
percent or more of the capital of legal persons
non-domiciled
be disposed.(b) | Legal entities or individuals not domiciled in Peru are subject to an additional tax (equivalent to 5 percent) on dividends received from entities domiciled in Peru. The corresponding tax is withheld by the entity that distributes the dividends. In this regard, since IFS controls the entities that distribute the dividends, it recognizes the amount of the additional Income Tax as expense of the financial year of the dividends. In this sense, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recorded an expense for S/38,538,000 and recovery for S/2,017,000, respectively, in the caption “Income Tax” of the consolidated statement of income. The recovery recognized in 2020 result : (i) the decrease in the percentage of divididends distribution by Interbank in April 2020, as indicated in Note 1(b)(b.3), which generated that IFS recorded in 2020 a rebate of the provision constituted as of December 31, 2019, and (ii) lower recognition of expenses for Income Tax provision over dividends due to a lower income in Interbank for 2020.ed from |
(c) | IFS’s Subsidiaries incorporated in Peru are subject to the payment of Peruvian taxes; hence, they must calculate their tax expenses on the basis of their separate financial statements. The Income Tax rate as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, was 29.5 percent, over the taxable income. |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(d) | The Tax Authority (henceforth “SUNAT”, by its Spanish acronym) is legally entitled to perform tax audit procedures for up to four years subsequent to the date at which the tax return regarding a taxable period must be filed. |
Below are the taxable periods subject to inspection by the Tax Authority as of December 31, 2021:
• | Interbank: Income Tax returns for the years 2016 to 2021, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2016 to 2021. |
• | Interseguro: Income Tax returns for the years 2017 to 2021, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2017 to 2021. |
• | Seguros Sura: Income Tax returns for the years 2017 to 2018, and Value-Added-Tax returns for the years 2017 to 2018. |
Given the possible interpretations that SUNAT may give to the legislation in effect, up to date it is not possible to determine whether or not any review to be conducted would result in liabilities for the Subsidiaries; any increased tax or surcharge that could arise from possible tax audits would be applied to the results of the period in which such tax increase or surcharge may be determined.
Following is the description of the main ongoing tax procedures for the Subsidiaries:
Interbank:
In April 2004, June 2006, February 2007, June 2007, November 2007, October 2008 and December 2010, Interbank received a number of Tax Determination and Tax Penalty notices corresponding mainly to the Income Tax determination for the fiscal years 2000 to 2006. As a result, claims and appeals were filed and subsequent contentious administrative proceedings were started.
Regarding the tax litigations followed by Interbank related to the annual Income Tax returns for the years 2000 to 2006, the most relevant matter subject to discrepancy with SUNAT corresponds to whether the “interest in suspense” are subject to Income Tax or not. In this sense, Interbank considers that the interest in suspense does not constitute accrued income, in accordance with the SBS’s regulations, which is also supported by a ruling by the Permanent Constitutional and Social Law Chamber of the Supreme Court issued in August 2009 and a pronouncement in June 2019.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in February 2018, the Third Transitory Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court issued a ruling regarding a third bank that impacted the original estimation regarding the degree of contingency for this discrepancy. Subsequently, in June 2019, the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court, in a case followed by another financial entity, but identical to Interbank’s case, ruled in favor of the tax treatment over the interest in suspense followed by said entity. Likewise, on July 6, 2020 and December 28, 2020, the Permanent Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law of the Supreme Court notified to Interbank its ruling regarding Interbank’s Income Tax 2003 and prepaid income tax for 2003, declaring groundless the cassation appeals filed by SUNAT and the MEF, thus reaffirming the position held by Interbank regarding that interest in suspense does not constitute taxable income. The same criterion has been adopted by the aforementioned Chamber regarding the Income Tax for 2002, according to the ruling notified to Interbank on October 7, 2021.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The tax liability requested for this concept and other minor contingencies as of December 31, 2021, amounts to approximately S/425,000,000 (S/382,000,000S/88,000,000
as of December 31,2020), wich includes the tax, fines and interest arrears, of which
S/337,000,000corresponded to the suspended interest and
corresponded to other minor repairs. From the tax and legal analysis performed, Interbank’s Management and its external legal advisers consider that there exists sufficient technical support for the prevailing of Interbank’s position; as a consequence, no provision has been recorded for this contingency as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
On February 3, 2017, SUNAT closed the audit process corresponding to the Income Tax for 2010. Interbank paid the debt under protest and filed a claim procedure. Subsequently, on November 6, 2018, SUNAT closed again the audit process corresponding to the Income Tax 2010, which had been reopened due to invalidity; Interbank filed a claim procedure and afterwards a tax appeal. Currently, the appeal is pending resolution by the Tax Court.
On January 14, 2019, Interbank was notified of the Determination and Penalty Resolutions corresponding to the audit of the Income Tax for the fiscal year 2013. To such date, the tax debt requested by SUNAT amounts to approximately S/50,000,000

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the tax debt requested for this concept and other minor contingencies amounts to approximately S/41,000,000 and S/40,000,000,
respectively, which is comprised of the tax, penalties and moratorium interest.
In the opinion of Interbank’s Management and its legal advisors, any eventual additional tax settlement would not result in a significant impact on the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
On April 26, 2019, SUNAT notified about the commencement of the definitive audit process on Income Tax withholdings of
non-domiciled
entities corresponding to 2018. To date, this audit is under process.On September 11, 2019, SUNAT notified Interbank about the beginning of the definitive audit process on Income Tax corresponding to 2014.

Interseguro:
On January 4, 2019, Interseguro was notified through a Tax Determination notice about the partial audit of the Income Tax for
non-domiciled
entities for Sura corresponding to January 2015; see Note 2. The tax debt requested by SUNAT amounts to approximately S/19,000,000. On January 30, 2019, the Company filed an appeal against the Resolution of Determination claimed by SUNAT. Considering that this debt corresponds to a period prior to the acquisition of Sura by the Group and according to the conditions of the purchase and sale agreement of this entity, this debt, if confirmed after the legal actions that Management is to file, would be assumed by the sellers. On November 12, 2020, the Tax Court issued a favorable opinion to Interseguro, revoking the Determination Resolution issued by SUNAT. As of the date of this report, SUNAT has not appealed the pronouncement by the Tax Court. Therefore, Interseguro has terminated this contentious-administrative procedure claimed by SUNAT.On May 03, 2021, SUNAT notified Interseguro about the beginning of the partial audit process of the Income Tax corresponding to 2017. On December 24, 2021, Interseguro was notified about the Resolution of Determination regarding the conclusion of the tax audit, which readjusts the loss and does not determine any amount to be paid nor any fine for Interseguro.
In the opinion of Management and its legal advisers, any eventual additional tax would not be significant for the financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(e) | Peruvian life insurance companies are exempted from the Income Tax on income from assets related to technical reserves for the payment of annuities and retirement, disability and survival annuities of the Private Pension Fund Administration System. |
(f) | For the purpose of determining the Income Tax, the transfer prices of transactions with related companies and with companies domiciled in countries or territories that are non-cooperating or low or zero tax countries or territories, or with entities or permanent establishments whose income, revenues or gains from said contracts are subject to a preferential tax regime, must be supported by documented information on the valuation methods used and the criteria considered for their determination. On the basis of the analysis of the operations of the Group, Management and its internal legal advisors believe that, as a consequence of the application of these standards, contingencies of importance will not arise as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. |
Through Legislative Decree No. 1312, published on December 31, 2016, the formal obligations for entities included within the scope of application of transfer pricing were modified, thus incorporating three new information requirements: the first is a Local Report; the second is a Master Report; and the third is a Country Report. The first entered into effect since 2017 for the operations that occurred during 2016 and the last two since 2018 for the operations that have occurred since the fiscal year 2017.
(g) | Through Legislative Decree No.1381, published on August 24, 2018, it was incorporated in the Income Tax Act the concept of “non-cooperating” countries or territories and preferential tax regimes to which defensive measures already existing for countries and territories with low or zero taxation are imposed. |
(h) | In July 2018, Act No. 30823 was published, whereby the Congress delegated power to the Executive Branch to legislate on various issues, including tax and financial matters. In this sense, the main tax regulations issued include the following: |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(i) | Beginning on January 1, 2019, the treatment applicable to royalties and remuneration for services rendered by non-domiciled persons was modified, eliminating the obligation to pay the amount equivalent to the withholding due to the accounting record of the cost or expense. Now the Income Tax is withheld at the payment of the compensation. For said cost or expense to be deductible for the local company, the remuneration must have been paid to the filing date of the annual tax return for the Income Tax (Legislative Decree No. 1369). |
(ii) | The rules that regulate the obligation of legal persons and/or legal entities to inform the identification of their final beneficiaries (Legislative Decree No. 1372) were established. These rules are applicable to legal entities domiciled in the country, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 of the Income Tax Act, and legal entities established in the country. The obligation covers non-domiciled legal entities and legal entities established abroad, provided that: a) they have a branch, agency or other permanent establishment in the country; b) the natural or juridical person who manages the autonomous patrimony or the investment funds from abroad, or the natural or legal person who has the status of trustee or administrator, is domiciled in the country; and c) any of the members of a consortium is domiciled in the country. This obligation will be fulfilled through the presentation to SUNAT of an informative Sworn Statement, which must contain the information of the final beneficiary and be submitted, in accordance with the regulations and within the deadlines established by Superintendence Resolution issued by SUNAT. |
(iii) | The Tax Code was amended with the purpose of offering taxpayers more assurance regarding the application of the general anti-avoidance rule (Rule XVI of the Preliminary Title of the Tax Code), as well as to provide SUNAT with tools for its effective implementation (Legislative Decree No.1422). |
As part of this amendment, a new assumption of joint and several liability is envisaged, when the tax debtor is subject to the application of the measures provided by Rule XVI in the event that presumed tax avoidance cases are detected; in such case, the joint and several liability will be attributed to the legal representatives provided that they have collaborated with the design or approval or execution of actions or situations or economic relations viewed as tax avoidance in Rule XVI. In the case of companies that have a Board of Directors, it is up to this corporate body to define the tax strategy of the entity, having to decide on the approval or not of actions, situations or economic relations to be carried out within the framework of tax planning, this power being
non-delegable.
The actions, situations and economic relations carried out within the framework of tax planning and implemented on the date of entry into force of Legislative Decree No. 1422 (September 14, 2018) and which continue to have effect, must be evaluated by the Board of Directors of the entity for the purpose of ratification or modification until March 29, 2019, without prejudice to the fact that the management or other managers of the company have approved the aforementioned actions, situations and economic relations.Likewise, it has been established that the application of Rule XVI, regarding the
re-characterization
of tax avoidance assumptions, will take place in the final inspection procedures in which acts, events or situations produced since July 19, 2012.(iv) | Amendments to the Income Tax Act were included, effective as of January 1, 2019, to improve the tax treatment applicable to the following (Legislative Decree No. 1424): |
• | Income obtained from the indirect transfer of shares of stock or capital representing participations of legal persons domiciled in the country. Among the most significant changes is the inclusion of a new indirect sale assumption, which is triggered when the total amount of the shares of the domiciled legal entity whose indirect disposal is made is equal to or higher than 40,000 Taxation Units. |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Permanent establishments of sole proprietorships, companies and entities of any nature incorporated abroad. For this purpose, new cases of permanent establishment have been included, among them, when the rendering of services in the country occurs, with respect to the same project, service or related one, for a period that exceeds 183 calendar days in total within any period of twelve months. |
• | The system of credits against Income Tax for taxes paid abroad, to be included in the indirect tax credit (corporate tax paid by foreign subsidiaries) as credit applicable against the Income Tax of domiciled legal persons, to avoid double economic taxation. |
• | The deduction of interest expenses for the determination of corporate Income Tax. In the years 2019 and 2020, it shall be applicable the debt limit set at up to three times the net equity as of December 31 of the previous year will be applicable, both to loans with related parties, and to loans with third parties contracted since September 14, 2018. Beginning in 2021, the limit for the deduction of financial expenses shall be equivalent to 30 percent of the entity’s EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). |
(v) | Regulations have been established for the accrual of income and expenses for tax purposes beginning on January 1, 2019 (Legislative Decree No. 1425). Until 2018, there was no rule definition of this concept, so in many cases accounting rules were used for its interpretation. In general terms, with the new criterion, for the purpose of determining the Income Tax, it shall be considered whether the substantial events for the generation of income or expense agreed upon by the parties have occurred, provided they are not subject to a subsequent condition, in which case the recognition shall take place when it is fulfilled and when collection or payment is to take place will not be taken into account; and, if the determination of the consideration depends on a future action or event, the total or part of the corresponding income or expense will be deferred until that action or event occurs. |
(i) | Supreme Decree No. 430-2020-EF, |
Considering that, said Regulation
e
stablished the concepts that the financial entities must report to SUNAT, which are, among others, cumulative balances and/or amounts, averages or highest amounts and the returns generated in the accounts during the reporting period and are equal or higher than S/30,800 in said period. The information shall be provided to SUNAT semi-annually through informative declarations containing monthly information.(j) | Law No. 31106 extends until December 31, 2023, the validity of all exemptions in force to date contained in Article 19 of the Income Tax Act. |
On this matter, among the extended exemptions that are applicable or related to Interbank’s operations,

The Group applies the same credit policies for granting and evaluating the provisions required for direct loans when performing contingent operations (see Note 6(a)), including obtaining guarantees when deemed necessary.

Taking into account that most of the contingent operations are expected to expire without the Group having to disburse cash, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

(***) | In April 2016, the Congress of the Republic of Peru approved the amendment of the Private Pension System Act, through which the affiliates of the Pension Fund Administrators (AFPs) who turn 65 and retire, can choose, among other existing retirement modalities, the return of 95.5 percent of the total fund available from their Individual Capitalization Account (henceforth “CIC”, by its Spanish acronym). During 2017, to offset the contraction of retirement income as a result of the aforementioned amendment to the SPP Act, Interseguro launched the products “Renta Particular Plus” and “Renta Particular Plus – Vitalicio”, Note 3.4(ai). During 2021 and 2020, premiums collected for “Renta Particular Plus – Vitalicio” amounted to S/57,479,000 and S/30,310,000, respectively, and for “Renta Particular Plus” amounted to S/219,347,000 and S/117,619,000, respectively.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (henceforth “CODM”) of IFS is the Chief Executive Officer (henceforth “CEO”). The Group presents three operating segments based on products and services, as follows:
Banking -
Mainly loans, credit facilities, deposits and current accounts.
Insurance -
It provides life annuity products with single-premium payment and conventional life insurance products, as well as other retail insurance products.
Wealth management -
It provides brokerage and investment management services. Inteligo serves mainly Peruvian citizens.
The operating segments monitor the operating results of their business units separately for the purpose of making decisions on the distribution of resources and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and it is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
No revenue from transactions with a single external customer or counterparty exceeded 10 percent of the Group’s total revenues in the years 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Due to the
Covid-19
pandemic, that started in March 2020, the Group, through its different risk management bodies, has been monitoring and implementing diverse measures to address and counter the negative effects of the pandemic on its subsidiaries. See Note 1(b.3).(b) | Risk measurement and reporting systems - |
The Group uses different models and rating tools. These tools measure and value the risk with a prospective vision, thus allowing the making of better risk decisions in the different stages or life cycle of client or product.
Said models and tools are permanently monitored and periodically validated to assure that the levels of prediction and performance are being maintained and to make the corrective actions or adjustments, when needed.
(c) | Risk mitigation and risk coverage - |
To mitigate its exposure to the various financial risks and provide adequate coverage, the Group has established a series of measures, among which the following stand out:
• | Policies, procedures, methodologies, models and parameters aimed to allow for the identification, measurement, control and reporting of diverse financial risks; |
• | Review and assessment of diverse financial risks, through specialized units of risk screening; |
• | Timely monitoring and tracking of diverse financial risks and their maintenance within a defined tolerance level; |
• | Compliance with regulatory limits and establishment of internal limits for exposure concentration; and |
• | Procedures for managing guarantees. |
Likewise, as part of its comprehensive risk management, in certain circumstances the Group uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate its risk exposure, which arises from the variations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
(d) | Risk concentration - |
Through its policies and procedures, the Group has established the guidelines and mechanisms needed to prevent excessive risk concentration. In case any concentration risk is identified, the Group works with specialized units that enable it to control and manage said risks.
30.1 | Credit risk |
(a) | The Group opts for a credit risk policy that ensures sustained and profitable growth in all its products and business segments it operates. In doing so, it applies assessment procedures for the adequate decision-making, and uses tools and methodologies that allow the identification, measurement, mitigation and control of the different risks in the most efficient manner. Likewise, the Group incorporates, develops and reviews regularly management models that allow an adequate measurement, quantification and monitoring of the loans granted by each business unit and also encouraging the continuous improvement of its policies, tools, methodologies and processes. Additionally, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the behavior and performance of the expected credit losses of the retail and commercial clients has been affected, thus requiring a greater monitoring of results, which has also implied to perform certain subsequent adjustments to the expected loss model to be able to capture the effects of the current situation, which has generated a high level of uncertainty in the estimation of the loans expected loss. |
In compliance with the policy of monitoring the Group’s credit risk, during 2021 Interbank performed the recalibration process of its risk parameters for the calculation of the expected credit losses.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(b) | The Group is exposed to credit risk, which is the risk that a counterparty causes a financial loss by failing to comply with an obligation. Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business; therefore, Management carefully manages its exposure to credit risk, which arise mainly in lending activities that lead to loans and investment activities that contribute with securities and other financial instruments to the Group’s asset portfolio. There is also credit risk in the financial instruments out of the consolidated statement of financial position, such as contingent credits (indirect loans), which expose the Group to risks similar to those of direct loans, being mitigated with the same control processes and policies. Likewise, credit risk arising from derivative financial instruments is, at any time, limited to those with positive fair values, as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. |
As of the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and under IFRS 9, impairment allowances are established for expected credit losses. Significant changes in the economy or in the particular situation of an economic sector that represents a concentration in the Group’s portfolio could result in losses that are different from those provisioned for as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower or groups of borrowers, geographical and industry segments. Said risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to continuous review.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is managed through the regular assessment of debtors and their potential capability to pay the principal and interest of their obligations, and through the change in exposure limits, when appropriate.
The exposure to credit risk is also mitigated, in part, through the obtaining of personal and corporate collateral. Nevertheless, there is a significant part of the financial instruments where said collateral cannot be obtained. Following is a description of the procedures and policies related to collateral management and valuation of collateral.
Policies and procedures for management and valuation of guarantees -
Collateral required for financial assets other than the loan portfolio are determined according to the nature of the instrument. However, debt instruments, treasury papers and other financial assets are in general not guaranteed, except for securities guaranteed with similar assets and instruments.
The Group has policies and guidelines established for the management of collateral received to back loans granted. The assets that guarantee loan operations bear a certain value prior to the loan approval and the procedures for their updating are described in the internal rules. To manage guarantees, the Group operates specialized divisions for the establishment, management and release of guarantees.
Collateral that back loan operations include different goods, property and financial instruments (including cash and securities). Their preferential status depends on the following conditions:
• | Easy convertibility into cash. |
• | Proper legal documentation, duly registered with the corresponding public registry. |
• | Non-existence previous obligations that could reduce their value. |
• | Their fair value must be updated. |
F-1
50
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Long-term loans and fundings granted to corporate entities are generally guaranteed. Consumer loans granted to small companies are not generally guaranteed.
Management monitors the fair value of collateral, and with the purpose of mitigating credit losses, requests additional collateral to the counterparty as soon as impairment evidence exists. The proceeds from the settlement of the collateral obtained are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim.
In the case of derivative financial instruments, the Group maintains strict control limits on net open derivative positions (the difference between purchase and sale contracts), both in amount and term. The amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current fair value of instruments that are favorable to the Group (for example, an asset when its fair value is positive), which in relation to derivatives is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional amount used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers, together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other securities are not usually obtained for credit risk exposures on these instruments.
Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equity is made in the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash. Daily settlement limits are established for each counterparty to cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Group’s market transactions on any single day.
(c) | Maximum exposure to credit risk - |
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Management estimates that the maximum credit risk to which the Group is exposed is represented by the book value of the financial assets which show a potential credit risk and consist mostly of deposits in banks, inter-bank funds, investments, loans (direct and indirect), without considering the fair value of the collateral or guarantees, derivative financial instruments transactions, receivables from insurance transactions and other monetary assets. In this sense, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the main captions were formed as follows:
• | 77.3 percent and 89.5 percent, respectively, of cash corresponds to amounts deposited in the Group’s vaults or in the BCRP; |
• | 87.5 percent and 85.5 percent, respectively, of the loan portfolio is classified into the two lower credit risk categories defined by the Group under IFRS 9 (high and standard grade); |
• | 93.5 percent and 88.4 percent, respectively, of loans is deemed non-past-due non-impaired; it is worth mentioning that, because of the effects of theCovid-19 pandemic, the Group has rescheduled loans that met certain requirements. The balance of rescheduled loans as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 amounts approximately to S/6,267,000,000 and S/10,489,000,000, respectively. |
• | 91.8 percent and 89.0 percent, respectively, of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments at amortized cost have at least an investment grade (BBB- or higher) or are debt instruments issued by the BCRP or the Peruvian government; and |
• | 98.1 percent and 97.6 percent , respectively, of accounts receivable from insurance premiums and leases of the investment properties is deemednon-past due andnon-impaired. |
• | In addition, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group holds loans (direct and indirect) and investments in fixed income instruments issued by entities related to the infrastructure sector that, in recent years, have been exposed to local and international events, for an amount of approximately of S/1,055,904,000 (S/334,375,000 in direct loans and S/721,529,000 in indirect loans) and |
F-1
51
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
S/911,756,000, respectively (S/1,257,017,000 (S/351,734,000 in direct loans and S/905,283,000 in indirect loans) and S/1,029,618,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2020). |
(d) | Impairment assessment for loan portfolios - |
The main objective of the impairment requirements is to recognize expected credit losses during the average life of financial instruments when there has been a significant increase in credit risk after the initial recognition — as evaluated on a collective or individual basis — considering all reasonable and sustainable information, including that which refers to the future. If the financial instrument does not show a significant increase in credit risk after the initial recognition, the provision for credit losses shall be calculated as
12-month
expected credit losses (Stage 1), as defined in Note 3.4(i).Under some circumstances, entities may not have reasonable and sustainable information available without disproportionate effort or cost to measure the expected credit losses during the lifetime of the asset on an individual instrument basis. In that case, expected credit losses during the asset’s lifetime shall be recognized on a collective basis considering information about the overall credit risk. The financial assets for which the Group calculates the expected loss under a collective assessment include:
• | All direct and indirect (contingent) loans related to stand-by letters, guarantees, bank guarantees and letters of credit. Except for short-term reasons, certain clients that belong to the infrastructure sector. |
• | Debt instruments measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
The expected credit loss is estimated collectively for each loan portfolio with shared similar risk characteristics. Not only default indicators, but all information such as: macroeconomic projections, type of instrument, credit risk ratings, types of guarantees, date of initial recognition, remaining time to maturity, among other indicators.
For the collective impairment assessment, the financial assets are grouped based on the Group’s internal credit rating system, which considers credit risk characteristics, such as: type of asset, economic sector, geographical location, type of guarantee, among other relevant factors.
Expected losses are calculated under the identification and multiplication of the following risk parameters:
• | Probability of Default (PD): It is the likelihood of a default over a particular time horizon that the counterpart will be unable to meet its debt obligations in a certain term and with it is cataloged as default. |
• | Loss Given Default (LGD): Measures the loss in percentage terms on total exposure at default (see Exposure at default). |
• | Exposure at Default (EAD): Represents the total value that the Group can lose upon default of a counterpart. |
(d.1) | Definition of default: |
In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group determines that there is default on a financial asset when:
• | The borrower is unlikely to pay their credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing guarantee (if applicable); or |
• | The borrower is past due by more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Group. |
F-1
52
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
In assessing whether a borrower presents default, the Group considers the following indicators:
• | Qualitative: contracts in judicial and prejudicial proceedings. |
• | Quantitative: contracts in default for more than 90 days. |
• | Based on data prepared internally and obtained from external sources such as: |
• | Significant changes in indicators of credit risk |
• | Significant changes in external market indicators |
• | Real or expected significant change in the external and/or internal credit rating |
• | Existing or forecast adverse changes in the business, economic or financial conditions that are expected to cause a significant change in the borrower’s ability to meet their debt obligations |
• | Real or expected significant change in the operating results of the borrower |
• | Existing or future adverse changes in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the borrower that results in a significant change in their ability to meet their debt obligations. |
Likewise, losses recognized in the period are affected by several factors, such as:
• | Financial assets moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or Stage 3 because there has been a significant increase in their risk since initial recognition or they present impairment at the analysis date, respectively. As a result, lifetime expected losses are calculated. |
• | Impact on the measurement of expected losses due to changes in PD, EAD and LGD resulting from the update of the inputs used. |
• | Impact on the measurement of expected losses due to changes in the models and assumptions used. |
• | Additional provisions for new financial instruments reported during the period. |
• | Periodic reversion of the discount of expected losses due to the passage of time, as they are measured based on the present value. |
• | Financial assets written off during the period. |
• | Exchange difference arising from financial assets denominated in foreign currency. |
(d.1.1) | Internal rating and PD: |
The Group’s loans are segmented into homogeneous groups with shared similar credit risk characteristics as detailed below:
• | Personal Banking (credit cards, mortgages, payroll loans, consumer loans and vehicular loans) |
• | Small Business Banking (segments S1, S2 and S3) |

(*) | It is worth mentioning that the probability of default are exclusively those determined by the statistical model and, therefore, do not include the subsequent adjustments to the model that have been originated as a consequence of the pandemic, see further detail in 30.1 (d.7) |
The main objective is t
o
generate statistical models that allow forecasting the applicant’s level of credit risk. The development of these models incorporates both qualitative and quantitative information, as well as client specific information that may affect their performance.F-1

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
These rating models are monitored on a regular basis because with the passage of time some factors may have a negative impact on the model’s discriminating power, and stability due to changes in the population or its characteristics.
Each rating has an associated PD, which is adjusted to incorporate prospective information. This is replicated for each macroeconomic scenario, as appropriate.
To calculate the PD, two differentiated methodologies have been developed, which are described below:
• | Transition matrixes |
Its objective is to determine the probability of default over a
12-month
horizon based on the maturity of the operation, by analyzing the conditional probability of transition from one credit rating state to another. This method is suitable for loans with high exposure and wide data availability. The intention is to calculate the PD based on the maturity of the operation.• | Default ratio |
Its objective is to determine the probability of default over a
12-month
horizon based on the level of risk with which the operation begins, based on a counting analysis and the percentage of cases that report a default mark. This method is suitable for loans with poor data availability by type of maturity.Given the nature of the portfolios and the availability of historical information, the method to estimate the PD for each portfolio is presented below:
Banking / Segments | Transition matrix | Default ratio | ||||||
Personal banking: | ||||||||
Credit cards | X | |||||||
Mortgage | X | |||||||

Likewise, Interbank has implemented a system to monitor its commercial sector clients in a more personalized way, based on warnings, changes in rating, reputation problems, among
others

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
At each reporting date, for indirect loans (contingent), as happens for direct loans, the expected loss is calculated depending on the stage in which each operation is located; that is, if it is in Stage 1, the expected loss is calculated with a
12-month
view. If it is in Stage 2 (if the operation shows a significant risk increase since the initial recognition) or Stage 3 (if the operation has a default), the expected loss is calculated for the remaining life of the asset.The Group considers the changes in credit risk based on the probability that the borrower will fail to comply with the loan agreement.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group holds
stand-by
letters and guarantees with entities related to the infrastructure sector that, in recent years, has been exposed to national and international events. To determine the expected losses of these entities, the Group, in a complementary manner, has performed an individual assessment to determine if the operation is in Stage 1, Stage 2 or Stage 3.The criteria established to assign the risk to each one of the operations that are evaluated under an individual evaluation use the following combination of factors: quantitative, qualitative and financial.
To estimate the PD for the lifetime of a financial asset, a transformation to a
12-month
PD is made according to the year of remaining life. That is, the PD is determined for a lifetime by an exponentiation of the12-month
PD.At Inteligo Bank, both for Personal Banking and Commercial Banking, the internal model developed (scorecard) assigns 5 levels of credit risk: low, medium low, medium, medium high, and high. This methodology evaluates the scoring, increase or decrease of risks, taking into consideration the loan structure and the type of client; therefore, there is one scorecard for Personal Banking and another for Commercial Banking.
(d. 2 ) | Loss Given Default (LGD): |
It is an estimated loss in case of default. It is the difference between contractual cash flows due and those expected to be received, including guarantees. Generally, it is expressed as an EAD percentage.
In the case of Interbank, the calculation of the LGD has been developed under three differentiated methods, which are described below:
• | Closed recoveries |
Those in which a client entered and left default (due to debt settlement, application of penalty or refinancing) over a course of up to 74 months and 65 months, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
• | Open recoveries |
Those in which a client entered and did not manage to exit default over a course of up to 74 months and 65 months, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This method identifies the adjustment factor that allows to simulate the effect of a closed recovery process. Thus, a recovery curve is built from the information of closed recovery processes and a recovery rate curve is estimated based on the number of months of each process.
F-15

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
This methodology is applied to the Mortgage and Commercial Banking loan portfolios.
In the case of Inteligo Bank, for those credits that are classified in Stage 1 or Stage 2 at the reporting date, the regulatory recoveries of the Central Bank of the Bahamas and the Superintendence of Banks of Panama are used, using stressed scenarios for each type of guarantee.
(d.3) | Exposure at default (EAD): |
Exposure at default represents the gross carrying amount of financial instruments subject to impairment, which involves both the client’s ability to increase exposure as default approaches and possible early repayments. To calculate the EAD of a loan in Stage 1, potential default events are evaluated over a
12-
month horizon. For financial assets in Stage 2 and Stage 3, exposure at default is determined over the life of the instrument.A calculation methodology has been developed for those portfolios that present a defined schedule, differentiating those transactions that consider prepayment and those that do not consider prepayment, and another methodology that is based on building the credit risk factor for those portfolios allows the client the ability to use a line of credit (revolving products) .Therefore, the percentage of additional use of the credit line that the client could use in the event of a default must be calculated.
(d.4) | Significant increase in credit risk: |
The Group has established a framework that incorporates quantitative and qualitative information to determine whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition, both for loans and investments. The framework is aligned with the Group’s internal credit risk management process.
In certain cases, using its expert credit judgment and, where possible, with relevant historical experience, the Group may determine that an exposure has experienced a significant increase in credit risk when certain qualitative indicators that may not be captured by a timely quantitative analysis.
At each reporting date, expected losses are calculated depending on the stage of each loan, as each one is evaluated with a different life period.
• | Stage 1 - |
12-month
expected losses are calculated. For this, the following risk parameters are multiplied: the12-month
forward-looking PD for year 1 of the remaining life, the client’s LGD, and the EAD for year 1 of the remaining life for operations with payment schedule or the balance as of the reporting date for operations without payment schedule.• | Stage 2 - |
Lifetime expected losses are calculated for the entire remaining life of the asset. For operations with payment schedule, they are calculated in each year of remaining life by multiplying the following risk parameters:
12-month
forward-looking PD, the client’s LGD, and the EAD of the corresponding year of remaining life, and then the summation is done. For operations without payment schedule, they are calculated by multiplying the lifetime forward-looking PD, the client’s LGD, and the balance as of the reporting date.F-15
7
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
• | Stage 3 - |
Expected losses are calculated by multiplying the PD (equal to 100 percent) by the client’s LGD and the balance as of the reporting date.
The Group classifies the operations with a significant increase in the risk of each portfolio such as marked refinanced operations, operations with arrears longer than 30 days (for all portfolios except Mortgages that considers arrears longer than 60 days), or operations marked “Leave” or “Reduce” in the surveillance system for the Commercial Banking portfolio.
Likewise, the evaluation of the significant risk increase is made by comparing the
12-month
PD to the date of origin and the12-month
PD to the date of the report adjusted by the forward-looking factor, according to the quantitative criteria of absolute variation and relative variation. The Group has established a range of average absolute variation of 9% and an average relative variation of 433%.The Group periodically evaluates the following warning signs and criteria to assess whether the placement presents a significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2):
• | Rescheduled loans. |
• | Infractions to the covenants. |
• | Forced interventions by governments in the primary and secondary markets of obligors. |
• | Involvement of the borrower in illicit, political and fraud business. |
• | Impairment of guarantees (underlying assets). |
• | Arrears or short and frequent failures to pay installments. |
• | Significantly adverse macroeconomic, regulatory, social, technological and environmental changes. |
• | Other assessments and/or warnings (financial statements, EBIT evaluation, financial indicators by industry, regulatory criteria, others). |
On the other hand, the Group monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify significant increases in credit risk through periodic reviews to confirm that:
• | The criteria used is able to identify significant increases in credit risk before an exposure is in default; |
• | The average time between the identification of a significant increase in credit risk and default is reasonable; |
• | Exposures usually do not transfer directly from the measurement of 12-month expected losses to impaired loans; and |
• | There is no unjustified volatility in the allocation of expected credit losses between the measurement of 12-month expected credit losses and lifetime expected credit losses. |
Subsequently, the expected loss of each scenario (optimistic, base and pessimistic) is calculated as the sum of the expected loss of each Stage. Finally, the expected loss of the portfolio is calculated by assigning weights to each scenario based on their respective probability of occurrence.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
An operation shall migrate from Stage 1 to Stage 2 due to significant risk increase, if comparing the current PD with the PD at the moment it was generated it is observed an increase (relative and absolute variation) in the PD that exceeds the established thresholds.
On the other hand, the methodology introduces the concept of cure for the Mortgage, Corporate and Business portfolios. According to this concept, a loan in Stage 3 that has been recovered through the payment of the debt, does not migrate directly to Stage 1, instead of continuing in Stage 2 during an observation window of 12 months, to secure a consistent behavior in the transaction’s risk, as well as to mitigate the migration volatility between risk stages.
(d.5) | Reactiva Peru |
The National Government Guarantees Program “Reactiva Peru”, created by Legislative Decree 1455, and amended by Legislative Decree 1457, aims to provide a quick and effective response to the liquidity needs faced by companies due to the impact of the Covid
-19
pandemic.Thus, the Program seeks to ensure the continuity of the payment chain, pledging guarantees to micro, small, medium and large companies so that they can access to working capital loans, and, therefore, fulfill their short-term obligations to their workers and suppliers of goods and services.
The Government of Peru, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, guarantees the loans granted by the Companies of the Financial System (henceforth “ESF” by its Spanish acronym). The program was provided
with S/30,000,000,000 in guarantees
.
Subsequently,
Legislative Decree 1485
increase
the amount of guaranteesd
by
S/30,000,000,000, reaching S/60,000,000,000 in total.The term of the loan guaranteed by “Reactiva Peru” is 36 months, with a
12-month
grace period. The maximum loan amount for each benefited company is S/10,000,000.Interest is recorded in a cumulative basis and the collateral execution is made 90 calendar days after the first past due payment. The collateral granted by “Reactiva Peru” covers the outstanding balance of the loan, with a coverage which depending on the loan’s amount, ranges between 80% and 98%.
During 2021, the Peruvian government, through the MEF and the SBS, issued a series of Resolutions and Official Letters within the framework of Emergency Decree
No. 026-2021,
which establishes measures aimed to the rescheduling of the loans guaranteed under the “Reactiva Peru” program, through which it sets out, as aone-off,
a new grace period of 6 or 12 months is established in addition to the grace period of the original credit, where payment of interest consists of the original interest rate plus an additional margin not higher than 0.25 percent that corresponds to the rescheduling cost and the funding cost incurred by the entity of the financial system. Additionally, the customer shall pay a 0.02 percent fee of the rescheduled amount, as aone-off,
when the new grace period expires. In that sense, during 2021, Interbank modified loans of such program for an amount of approximately S/2,012,855,000. As of December 31, 2021, the balance of rescheduled loans under the “Reactiva Peru” program amounted to approximately S/1,974,180,000.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Some of the requirements to access this rescheduling include the following:
(i) outstanding loans of up to S/90,000
, (ii) for loans between
S/90,0001
and
S/750,000
, decrease in sales higher or equal to 10
percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to the same period of 2019, and (iii) for loans between
S/750,0001 and S/5,000,000, decrease in sales higher or equal to 20 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to the same period of 2019.(d.6) | Rescheduled loans: |
Because of the pandemic scenario as a consequence of the
Covid-19
pandemic explained in Note 1(b), the SBS authorized financial entities to grant credit facilities (rescheduling) to clients that meet certain requirements specified by the regulations issued by this regulatory entity. In that sense, Interbank granted repayment facilities to its customers that included: modification of repayment schedules, granting of grace periods, reduction of interest rates, fractioning and downsizing of installments, among others.Following is the detail of the reschedulings granted by Interbank with the purpose of incorporating the effects of uncertainty and risks generated by the current context of the
Covid-19
pandemic.(i) | Loans rescheduled during 2021: |
Through a series of Resolutions and Multiple Official Letters, within the framework of emergency Decree
No. 026-2021,
the MEF and the SBS establish measures to reschedule the loans guaranteed under the “Reactiva Peru” program. These reschedulings include grace periods of up to 12 months and even the extension of the repayment period. See Note 30.1 (d.5).Following is the effect of the adjustment (income) performed by Interbank to reflect the impact of the modification of the contractual cash flows as a consequence of the rescheduled loans of the “Reactiva Peru” portfolio as of December 31, 2021:

(ii) | Loans rescheduled during 2020: |
Through Official Multiple Letters No. 10997-2020, 11150-2020 and 11170-2020, Interbank made three types of rescheduling:
• | Unilateral: loans that Interbank reschedules proactively over part of the loan’s balance. |
• | Landing: loans rescheduled at the client’s request over part of the loan’s balance. |
• | Structural: loans rescheduled proactively by the Bank or at the client’s request and over the entire loan’s balance. |

Interbank performed an assessment to define whether these rescheduled contracts represented, or not, a substantial modification under IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments. From that assessment, the new cash flows of the rescheduled loans did not generate substantial nor significant changes in the conditions initially contracted by the client; therefore, the adjustments in the conditions did not generate any substantial modification and, thus, neither a derecognition of the financial asset as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(d.7) | Subsequent adjustments to the model |
The risks and uncertainties originated by the
Covid-19
pandemic during 2020 and 2021, and the political context of Peru in 2021, have not been adequately reflected by the parameters within the existing statistical models to determine the expected loss of the Group, considering that those events are of extraordinary nature and have not had precedents that would have been used as basis to model them in the calculation of the expected loss. For this reason, Interbank assessed whether to include a series of expert judgments with the purpose of calculating the expected loss pursuant to the requirement established by IFRS 9.Following is the detail of the subsequent adjustments to the expected loss model performed to include in the calculation the effects of the uncertainty and risks generated by the current events as of December 31, 2021:
(i) | Subsequent adjustments to the model included in 2021 |
Two expert judgments were set up that seek to stress test the possibility of default from customers due to the political situation in Peru.
• | Stress of the probability of default (PD) for loans in Stage 1 and Stage 2 |
This judgment is related to the evaluation of the forward-looking factors used in the model, which are built from the macro-economic models and forecasts made by Moody’s
,
and is based on a more stressed forward-looking scenario for the economy’s performance. Compared against the weighted factors of the expected loss model and the difference between both of them, it represents, for each loan, the additional provision requirement. In this way, the expected loss can beF-1
61
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
stressed by applying more severe macro-economic forecasts to the probability of default.
• | Stress for clients in Stage 3 |
The expert judgment applied for these customers, considers the relative participation of the exposure of clients in Stage 3 regarding the total loan exposure (Stage 3 exposure divided by the total exposure) during a specific period and excluding the
Covid-19
period (March 2020-December2021
) to avoid biased results of this period given that it shows an atypical tendency resulting from the presented events.Once this period of analysis is excluded, the series average is calculated and a standard deviation is added, to determine the level of additional provisions for customers that may end up in Stage 3.
The additional provision for the application of this expert judgment results from the difference between the stressed expected loss and the expected loss determined by the model in Stage 3.
In the case of the Corporate, Companies and Institutional portfolio, given that they have historically low probabilities of default, the obtained factors resulted to be very volatile and, for this reason, the expert judgment was not applied for these portfolios.
Additionally, given the current uncertainty context due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant, new expert criteria have been applied for the new wave of infections, that could cause another cycle of loan reschedulings, although to a lesser extent than the previous year.
This criterion has been applied only to the Credit Card portfolio, given that this portfolio was the most affected by the rescheduling process during 2020 and presented a higher impact both in relative and absolute terms and, therefore, is the portfolio that may present a higher sensitivity considering these events.
To determine this expert judgment, the Credit Card portfolio has been segmented by score range and the percentage of structural reschedulings granted during 2020 has been calculated over the direct exposure of the same year. Subsequently, it was determined the amount of actual expenditure of said rescheduled loans and the percentage it represents for each score range. Lastly, the impact on provisions has been determined considering the exposure as of December 31, 2021 and assuming the percentages previously calculated and described. This procedure is aimed to include in the expected loss provision the actual effect that the structural rescheduled loans had on the Credit Card portfolio as of December 31, 2021.
F-1
62
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
On the other hand, in March 2021, Ministerial Resolution No.was published, amending the Operational Regulation of the Reactiva Peru Program. It authorizes the entities of the financial system to grant, as a
119-2021-EF/15
one-off,
a new grace period for these loans with a maximum of 12 months, additional to the original grace period of 12 months, period during which interest shall have to be paid.As a consequence of the political situation and the health crisis caused by
Covid-19
on customers who accessed to the “Reactiva Peru” program, and given the Resolution mentioned in the paragraph above, by granting an additional grace period of one year, Interbank considered that there is a risk on these customers that the current expected loss model cannot capture because these loans do not show delinquency in Interbank’s systems (total grace period of 24 months). In this sense, it was considered to apply an expert judgment in relation to the “Reactiva Peru” program, to the Small Business Banking portfolio, because this portfolio presents a greater participation in the Program, higher number of rescheduling and higher provision. That is, this expert judgment seeks to identify the possible impairment of the “Reactiva Peru” portfolio, which default risk is not measured by the expected loss model because these loans have considerably long grace periods.The Group forecast the balances distributed by default tranches
(past-due
days) based on the transition matrices methodology to include in the calculation of the expected loss the effects of the health crisis on the businesses of customers who accessed this program for the part that is not guaranteed by the Peruvian government.
Following is the amount of the expected loss as of December 31, 2021, as determined by the model and the subsequent adjustments to it, explained in the previous paragraphs:

Expert judgments were established based on the previous experience and the historical information of events that may have some sort of similarity, although restricted to certain sectors and/or geographical areas, with the current scenario such as: Financial Crisis of 2008 and El Niño event of 2016. Thus, an analysis of
non-performing
rates was carried out to obtain a risk ranking. This way, the historicalnon-performing
rates were allocated through transition matrices by number of past due days.F-1
63
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Based on this, the following criteria were defined:
• | Landing rescheduled loans: in relation with Credit Cards and Consumer loans presenting past-due installments or multiple reschedulings of this type, it was determined the migration of loans from Stage 1 to Stage 2, and from Stage 2 to Stage 3 given that such events would justify a significant increase in the loans risk or in default indicators, respectively. For the rest of portfolios, the statistical model was followed and, therefore, no expert judgment was applied. |
• | Structural rescheduled loans: for all portfolios, a percentage of their total balance classified in Stage 1 and Stage 2 migrated to Stage 3. Likewise, the remaining percentage in Stage 1 that was not migrated to Stage 3, due to expert judgment was migrated to Stage 2. |
• | Unilateral rescheduled loans: for all portfolios, it was established the automatic migration criteria to the next superior Stage, that is, from Stage 1 to Stage 2 , and from Stage 2 to Stage 3. |
Related to mortgage loans, it was considered that their risk profile to mature and impaired because people prioritize the payments of this type of loans over other financial products. Thus, in determining the PD to be used in the migration from Stage 1 to Stage 2, it was considered the smallest PD of Stage 2 because of the nature of the portfolio, which at the time of establishing this methodology corresponded to the refinanced
group (43
%).
For this same portfolio (Mortgage) in December 2020 it was established, through a stress analysis that considered the impact level of the
Covid-19
pandemic by economic sectors, to make a post-model adjustment. Said stress analysis consisted of, in the first place, establishing 4 levels of impact (High, Medium High, Medium and Low) depending on the economic sector to which the customer belongs and, after that, performing a migration of clients from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and those who were in Stage 2 to Stage 3, but exclusively those most vulnerable sectors (high and medium high impact categories).Finally, the expert judgments detailed in the paragraphs above have mainly been applicable to rescheduled loans because for loans that were not rescheduled, the results of the statistical models used by Interbank are within the stability thresholds.
Small Business Banking
Two expert judgments were defined, both considering the migration from Stage 1 to Stage 2. The first expert judgment is based on the analysis of the
past-due
days, risk level and business vulnerability of businesses to the current situation.The second criteria is based on the large impact that the pandemic has had on small businesses, identifying that approximately 60% of the operating businesses presented a decrease in sales at least of two digits. Therefore, the same percentage of the loans rescheduled migrated from Stage 1 to Stage 2.
Commercial Banking
The expert judgment applied for Commercial Banking consisted of migrating the rescheduled clients from Stage 1 to Stage 2. An analysis of these clients was performed on an individual basis, where client’s sector was considered to assess whether it was seriously affected as it is the case of tourism,
F-1

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
restaurants and textile sectors. Tax liability and protests were also taken into consideration when determing whether the level of sales or financial ratios were negatively impacted.
Subsequent adjustment to the model for all portfolios - Macroeconomic projections
Interbank’s projections anticipated in the last days of 2020, a moderation of the country’s economic growth rate during the first quarter of 2021, mainly due to the acceleration of contagions, the crisis of the health system, the second wave in Europe, the new variant of coronavirus detected in the United Kingdom and the high probability of a new quarantine in the country. Because of this, Interbank revised and adjusted its estimates as of December 31, 2020.
The following is the amount of the expected loss as of December 31, 2020 as determined by the model and the post-model adjustments explained in previous paragraphs:

(d.8) | Prospective information |
Expected credit losses consider information about the overall credit risk. Information about the overall credit risk must incorporate not only information on delinquency, but also all relevant credit information, including forward-looking macroeconomic information.
To comply with the regulatory requirement, it has been determined that the methodology includes the aforementioned effects within the expected loss.
The estimation of expected credit losses will always reflect the possibility of a credit loss, even if the most likely result is not credit loss. Therefore, estimates of expected credit losses are required to reflect a weighted, unbiased amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes.
To capture these effects, the Group uses internally developed stress models that seek to stress the probability of default based on different macroeconomic variable projection scenarios.
The Group has defined three possible scenarios for each portfolio: optimistic, base and pessimistic, assigning the following weights to each of them:
• | Base – 40% |
• | Optimistic – 30% |
• | Pessimistic – 30% |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Within the analysis carried out for the projection of probability of default, the projection period determined is 36 months (3 years). For projections after that period, the same information of that last year is considered, because it is deemed that projections beyond this period lose statistical significance, as evidenced by observing thresholds of confidence levels.

For this type of financial instruments, the Group analyzes the public information available from international risk rating agencies such as: Fitch, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, and assigns a rating to each instrument.
For each rating agency, the ratings associated with higher to lower credit quality are shown:

The Group determines its risk level according to the following classification as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:
High grade | Standard grade | Grade lower than standard | ||||
2021 | Rating: from AAA to A | Rating: from BBB to B | Rating: from CCC to C | |||

Sovereigns | 0.00% | 0.00% - 1.26% | 26.47% |
Finally, each instrument is assigned a PD according to the transition matrices published by Fitch.
(e.2) | Loss given default (LGD): |
For those issuers that are classified in Stage 1 or Stage 2 at the reporting date, the Group uses the recovery matrix published by Moody’s.
For those investments in Stage 3, an evaluation must be made to determine the severity of the expected loss according to the progress of the recovery process initiated.
(e.3) | Exposure at default (EAD): |
EAD
represents the gross book value of the financial instruments subject to impairment. To calculate the EAD of an investment in Stage 1, possiblenon-compliance
events are evaluated within 12 months. For financial assets in Stage 2 and Stage 3, exposure at default is determined for events throughout the life of the instrument.(e.4) | Significant increase in credit risk: |
The Group has assumed that the credit risk of a financial instrument has not increased significantly since the initial recognition if it is determined that the investment has a low credit risk at the reporting date, which occurs when the issuer has a strong ability to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the long term may reduce, but not necessarily, the ability of the issuer to meet its cash flow obligations contractual cash.
In accordance with the assignment of ratings to each debt instrument, the Group determines whether there is a significant increase in credit risk by comparing the rating at the date of acquisition with the rating at the reporting date, and designates the Stage in which each debt instrument is classified according to the quantitative and qualitative criteria, defined as follows:
F-1
72
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
(i) | Quantitative criteria - |
The Group holds an investment that does not present a significant increase in risk if there is a movement of its credit risk rating within the investment grade. In case there is a movement of its credit risk rating outside the investment grade, it is deemed that the instrument presents a significant increase in risk.
(ii) | Qualitative criteria - |
The Group periodically evaluates the following warning signs and criteria to assess whether the financial instrument presents a significant risk increase (stage 2) at the reporting date:
• | Significant decrease (30 percent of its original value) and prolonged (12 months) of the market value of the investment. |
• | Infringements of covenants without a waiver from the bondholders committee. |
• | Forced interventions by governments in the primary and secondary markets of the issuers. |
• | Linkage of the issuer in illicit, political and fraud activities. |
• | Impairment of collateral (underlying assets) in the case of securitized instruments. |
• | Delays or short and frequent breaches in the payment of coupons. |
• | Macroeconomic, regulatory, social, technological and environmental changes are significantly adverse. |
• | Other evaluations and/or alerts made by each Subsidiary (financial statements, evaluation of EBIT, financial indicators by industry, regulatory criteria, others). |

(g) | Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities |
The information contained in the tables below includes financial assets and liabilities that:
• | Are offset in the statement of financial position of the Group; or |
• | Are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments, regardless of whether they are offset in the consolidated statement of financial position or not. |
Similar arrangements of the Group include derivatives clearing agreements. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the following tables since they are not offset in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The offsetting framework agreement issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (henceforth “ISDA”) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position, because of such agreements were created in order for both parties to have an enforceable offsetting right in cases of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparties or following other predetermined events. In addition, the Group and its counterparties do not intend to settle such instruments on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
The Group receives and delivers guarantees in the form of cash with respect to transactions with derivatives; see Note 4.

30.2 | Market risk management |
Market risk is the possibility of loss due to variations in the financial market conditions. The main variations to which the Group is exposed to are exchange rates, interest rates and prices. Said variations can affect the value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities.
During the
Covid-19
pandemic crisis, market risk was affected by increased volatility. Regarding the Trading Book, the portfolios were affected since March 2020 by increased volatility in asset prices; however, since the Group’s position in the Trading Book is relatively small, the impacts were not significant.On the other hand, the Banking Book was also impacted by the pandemic and the government program “Reactiva Peru” promoted the placement of guaranted credits with funding through repurchase agreements, whose effect was that both Interbank’s assets and liabilities are increased with maturity positions between one and three years. Likewise, this program had a significant positive impact on the liquidity level of the entire financial system. Even though these new positions were relevant, the rate risk indicators remained stable as the new positions basically offset each other.
The Group separates its exposure to market risk into two blocks: (i) the one that arises from the fluctuation of the value of the trading investment portfolios, due to movements of market rates or prices (henceforth “Trading Book”) and (ii) the one that arises from the changes in the structural positions (henceforth “Banking Book”) due to movements in interest rates, prices and exchange rates.
(a) | Trading Book - |
To control and monitor the risks arising from the volatility of risk factors involved within each instrument, maximum exposure limits by currency, by type of investment and(henceforth “VaR”), which are controlled on a daily basis, have been established.
Value-at-Risk
The main measurement technique used to measure and control market risk is VaR, which is a statistical measurement that quantifies the maximum loss expected for a period of time and a determined significance level under normal market conditions. The Group uses the VaR model for a period of one day, and a
99-percent
confidence level. VaR is calculated by risk factor: interest rate, price or exchange rate and by type of investment: derivatives, fixed income and variable income.VaR models are designed to measure the market risk within a normal market environment. Since VaR is based mainly on historical data to provide information and does not clearly predict future changes and modifications in risk factors, the probability of big market movements may be underestimated. VaR can also be under or overestimated due to the hypotheses made on the risk factors and the relation among these factors with the specific instruments. To determine the reliability of VaR models, the actual results are regularly monitored to prove the validity of the assumptions and parameters used in the calculation of VaR.
The Group includes within the VaR calculation the potential loss that may arise from the exposure to exchange rate risk. This risk is included in the VaR calculation because the exchange position is the result of the spot position plus the position in derivative products. Likewise, the total VaR includes the diversification effect that arises as a result of the interaction of the various market risk factors to which the Group is exposed.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
The validity of the VaR calculation is proven through back-testing, which uses historical data to ensure that the model adequately estimates the potential losses. Additionally, the sensitivity of risk factors is calculated, which shows the potential portfolio losses in the event of certain fluctuations in factors. Said fluctuations include: interest rate shocks, exchange rate shocks and price shocks.

(b) | Banking Book - |
The portfolios which are not for trading are exposed to different financial risks, since they are sensitive to movements of the market rates, which can result in a negative effect on the value of the assets compared to its liabilities; therefore, on its net value.
(i) | Interest rate risk |
Interest rates fluctuate permanently on the market. These fluctuations affect the Group in two ways: first, through the change in the valuation of assets and liabilities; and secondly, affecting the cash flows at repricing. The variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities is increasingly sensitive as the term at which the asset or liability is repriced is extended. This process consists in the assessment of repricing periods. On the other hand, cash flows are affected when the instruments reach maturity, when they are invested or placed at new interest rates effective in the market.
Repricing gap
An analysis of the repricing gaps is performed to determine the impact of the interest rates movements. This analysis consists of assigning the balances of the operations that will change the interest rate into different time gaps. Based on this analysis, the impact of the variation in the valuation of assets and liabilities on each gap is calculated.

(i.2) | Sensitivity to changes in interest rates - |
The exposure to the interest rate is supervised by the GIR Committee and the ALCO Committee. The GIR Committee approves the various limits applicable to the financial instruments’ management. The ALCO Committee analyzes and monitors the results of the asset and liability management strategies and decisions implemented. Likewise, it defines the strategies and analyzes the sources of financing, as well as the coverage of the balance executed by the Bank. In particular, the latter could be considered to cover the exposure due to the variation in cash flows attributed to changes in variable market rates, to fix the cost of funds considering the global context of future movement of rates in the currencies under evaluation, to transform the cost of funds from foreign currency to the functional currency, among other casuistic as reviewed and approved by the Committee, considering the risk limits.
In this regard, the effect of movements in interest rates is analyzed based on the Regulatory Model and takes into account: (i) the financial margin for the next 12 months or Earning at Risk (EaR) and (ii) the Equity Value at Risk (EVaR), as detailed below:
• | Earning at Risk indicator, calculated as a percentage of the equity |
• | Cash, the legal limit of 5 percent and an early warning of 4 percent are set. |
• | Value at Risk indicator, calculated as a percentage of the effective equity, establishes the internal limit of 15 percent and an early warning of 13 percent. |
Thus, interest rate risk is managed and supervised by monitoring the aforementioned indicators, which allows Management to assess the potential effect of interest rates movements on the Group’s financial margin and thus manage the terms and the fixed and/or variable yields generated by the financial instruments held by the Group, including strategies on the derivative financial instruments designated as hedge accounting.
For its part, the GIR Committee oversees the approval levels of structural interest-rate risk capacity and appetite, which are detailed in the Bank’s Risk Appetite Framework.
In the case of Interseguro and Inteligo Bank, their Boards establish limits, which are controlled by their respective Investment Risk Unit.

The interest rate sensitivities shown in the tables above are only illustrative and are based on simplified scenarios. The figures represent the effect of the
pro-forma
movements in the net interest income based on the projected scenarios yield curve and the Group’s current interest rate risk profile. However, this effect, does not include actions that would be taken by Management to mitigate the impact of this interest rate risk. In addition, the Group seeks proactively to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The above projections also assume that interest rate of all maturities move by the same amount and, therefore, do not reflect the potential impact on net interest income of some rates changing while others remain unchanged. The projections also include assumptions to facilitate calculations, such as that all positions are held to maturity.F-

(ii) | Foreign exchange risk |
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currency prevailing in its financial position and cash flows. Management sets limits on the levels of exposure by currency and total daily and overnight positions, which are monitored daily. Most of the assets and liabilities in foreign currency are stated in US Dollars. Transactions in foreign currency are made at the exchange rates of free market.
As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average exchange rate of free market published by the SBS for transactions in US Dollars was S/3.975 per US$1 bid and S/3.998 per US$1 ask (S/3.618 and S/3.624 as of December 31, 2020, respectively). As of December 31, 2021, the exchange rate for the accounting of asset and liability accounts in foreign currency set by the SBS was S/3.987 per US$1 (S/3.621 as of December 31, 2020).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
As of December 31, 2021, the Group granted indirect loans (contingent operations) in foreign currency for approximately US$651,240,000, equivalent to S/2,596,494,000 (US$634,242,000, equivalent to S/2,296,590,000 as of December 31, 2020); see Note 18.
The Group manages the exchange rate risk through the matching of its active and passive operations, supervising its global exchange position daily. The global exchange position of the Group is equivalent to long positions minus short positions in currencies other than the Sol. The global exchange position includes balance positions (spot) and the positions in derivatives, including the positions of derivatives that have been designated as accounting hedges with the purpose of covering the exposure due to the variation of the exchange rate; see Note10(b). Any depreciation/appreciation of the foreign currency would affect the consolidated statement of income. An imbalance in the monetary position would make the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position vulnerable to the fluctuation of the foreign currency (exchange rate “shock”).
The table below shows the analysis of variations of the US Dollar, the main foreign currency to which the Group has exposure as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The analysis determines the effect of a reasonably possible variation of the exchange rate US Dollar to the Sol, considering all the other variables constant in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income before Income Tax. A negative amount shows a potential net reduction in the consolidated statement of income, while a positive amount reflects a net potential increase:

30.3 | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk consists in the Group’s inability to comply with the maturity of its obligations, thus incurring in losses that significantly affect its equity position. This risk may arise as a result of various events such as: the unexpected decrease of funding sources, the inability to rapidly settle assets, among others.
The Group has a set of indicators that are controlled and reported daily, which establish the minimum liquidity levels allowed for the short-term and reflect several risk aspects such as: concentration, stability, position by currency, main depositors, etc.
Likewise, the Group assesses medium-term and long-term liquidity through a structural analysis of its funds inflows and outflows in different maturity terms. This process allows to know, for each currency, the various funding sources, how liquidity needs increase and which terms are mismatched. Both for assets and liabilities, assumptions are considered for the operations that do not have determined maturity dates, such as revolving loans, savings and similar ones, as well as contingent liabilities, such as
non-used
letters of credit or lines of credit. Based on this information, the necessary decisions to maintain target liquidity levels are made.In the case of Interbank, liquidity is managed by the Vice-Presidency of Capital Markets, which chairs the ALCO Committee, where positions, movements, indicators and limits on liquidity management are presented. Liquidity risk is supervised by the GIR Committee, defining the risk level that Interbank is willing to take and the corresponding indicators, limits and controls are reviewed. The Market Risk Division is in charge of tracking said indicators. Interbank takes short-term deposits and transforms them into longer-term loans. Therefore, its exposure to liquidity risk increases. Interbank maintains a set of deposits that are historically renewed or maintained, and which represent a stable funding source.
In the case of Interseguro, it is exposed to requirements other than their cash resources, mainly claims resulting from their short-term insurance contracts. The Board of Directors of the company establishes limits on the minimum proportion of the maturity funds available to meet these requirements and in a minimum level of lines of credit that must be available to cover claims at unexpected claim levels.
With regards to long-term insurance contracts, considering the types of products offered and the long-term contractual relationship with clients (the liquidity risk is not material) the emphasis is on sufficient availability of flow of assets, and the term matching of the latter with the liability obligations (mathematical technical reserves), for which there are sufficiency and adequacy indicators.
In the case of Inteligo Bank, the Board of Directors has established liquidity levels as to the minimum amount of available funds required to meet such requirements and the minimum level of inter-banking facilities and other loan mechanisms that should exist to cover unexpected withdrawals. Inteligo Bank holds a short-term asset portfolio comprised of loans and investments to ensure sufficient liquidity.
Inteligo Bank’s financial assets include unlisted equity investments, which generally are illiquid. In addition, Inteligo Bank holds investments in closed (unlisted) and open-ended investment funds, which may be subject to redemption restrictions such as “side pockets” and redemption limits. As a result, Inteligo Bank may not be able to settle some of its investments in these instruments in due time to meet its liquidity requirements.

30.4 | Operational risk |
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from systems failure, human error, fraud or external events. When internal controls fail, operational risks can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory implications, or lead to financial loss. The Group cannot expect to eliminate all operational risks, but through a control framework and by monitoring and responding to potential risks, the Group is able to manage these risks. Controls include mainly the segregation of duties, accesses, authorization and reconciliation procedures, staff training and assessment processes, including the review by Internal Audit.
The Group’s Management has focused its attention mainly on the implications of the
Covid-19
pandemic (2020 and 2021) on the development of its operations. In this regard, a number of measures were implemented that ensured the remote work ofits
workers within the optimal parameters of information technology and cybersecurity systems.30.5 | Insurance risk management |
The risk under an insurance contract, in any of its various forms, is the possibility that the insured event occurs and; therefore, uncertainty is realized in the amount of the resulting claim. Given the nature of the insurance contract, this risk is aleatory and; therefore, unpredictable.
Regarding a portfolio of insurance contracts where the theory of large numbers and probabilities for pricing and provisions is applied, the main risk faced by the insurance business of the Group, managed by Interseguro, is that claims and/or payments of benefits covered by the policies exceed the book value of insurance liabilities. This could happen to the extent that the frequency and/or severity of claims and benefits are higher than estimated. The factors that are considered to perform the assessment of insurance risks include the following:
• | Frequency and severity of claims; |
• | Sources of uncertainty in the calculation of payment of future claims; |
• | Mortality tables for different coverage plans in the life insurance segment; |
• | Changes in market rates of investments that directly affect the discount rates to calculate mathematical reserves; and |
• | Specific requirements established by the SBS according to insurance plans. |
On the other hand, Interseguro has signed contracts of automatic reinsurance coverage mainly in credit life, retirement and life insurances that protect it from losses due to frequency and severity. The objective of this reinsurance negotiation is that the total net insurance losses do not affect the equity and liquidity of Interseguro. Interseguro’s policy is to sign contracts with companies with international rating determined by SBS rules. Annuities contracts do not have reinsurance coverage.
(a) | Life insurance contracts - |
Interseguro has developed its insurance underwriting strategy to diversify the type of insurance risks accepted. Factors that aggravate the insurance risk include lack of risk diversification in terms of type and amount of risk and geographic location. The underwriting strategy aims to ensure that underwriting risks are well diversified in terms of type and amount of risk. Underwriting limits serve to implement the selection criteria for appropriate risk. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, most of the insurance contracts entered into by Interseguro are located in the city of Lima.
The sufficiency of reserves is a principle of insurance management. Technical reserves for claims and premiums are estimated by Interseguro’s actuaries and reviewed by independent experts when deemed necessary.
F-
1
95
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Interseguro’s Management constantly monitors trends in claims, which allows it to perform estimates of IBNR that are supported by recent information.
On the other hand, Interseguro is exposed to the risk that mortality and morbidity rates associated with customers do not reflect the actual mortality and morbidity and may cause the premium calculated for the coverage offered to be insufficient to cover claims. For this reason, Interseguro performs a careful risk selection or underwriting when issuing policies, because by doing so it can classify the degree of risk presented by a proposed insured, analyzing characteristics such as gender, smoking condition, health condition, among others.
In the particular case of annuities, the risk assumed by Interseguro is that the real life expectancy of the insured population is greater than that estimated when determining income, which would mean a deficit of reserves to comply with the payment of pensions.
On the other hand, insurance products do not have particularly relevant terms or clauses that could have a significant impact or represent significant uncertainties over Interseguro’s cash flows.
(b) | Real estate risk management - |
Real estate risk is defined as the possibility of losses due to changes or volatility of market prices of properties; see Note 7. Investment properties are held by Interseguro to manage its long term inflows and match its technical reserves. SBS Resolution No. 2840-2012, dated May 11, 2012, “Regulations on Real Estate Risk Management in Insurance Companies”, requires that insurance companies adequately identify, measure, control and report the real estate risk level they are exposed to.
Additionally, Interseguro has identified the following risks associated with its real estate portfolios:
• | The cost to develop a project may increase if there are delays in the planning process; however, Interseguro receives services from advisors to reduce the risks that may arise in the planning process. |
• | A major lessee may become insolvent thus causing a significant loss in rental income and a reduction in the value of the associated property. To reduce this risk, Interseguro reviews the financial position of all prospective lessees and decides on the appropriate level of safety required, such as lease deposits or guarantees. |
• | The fair values of the investment property could be affected by the cash flows generated by the tenants and/or lessees, as well as by the economic conditions of Peru and future expectations |
30.6 | Capital management |
The Group manages in an active manner a capital base to cover the risks inherent to its activities. Capital adequacy of the Group is monitored by using regulations and ratios established by the different regulators. See Note 16(f).

Financial assets included in Level 1 are those measured on the basis of information that is available on the market, to the extent that their quoted prices reflect an active and liquid market and that are available in some centralized trading mechanism, trading agent, price supplier or regulatory entity.
Financial instruments included in Level 2 are valued based on the market prices of other instruments with similar characteristics or with financial valuation models based on information of variables observable in the market (interest rate curves, price vectors, etc.).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Financial assets included in Level 3 are valued by using assumptions and data that do not correspond to prices of operations traded on the market. The valuation requires Management to make certain assumptions about the model variables and data, including the forecast of cash flow, discount rate, credit risk and volatility.
During 2021, there
were 0 transfers of financial instruments to or from level 3 to level 1 or level 2.
During 2020, there were transfers of certain financial instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 for the amount of S/4,116,507,000, because they stopped being actively traded during the year and, therefore, fair values were obtained by using observable market data. There were 0 transfers of financial instruments from Level 3 to Level 1 or Level 2 or viceversa.
The table below presents a description of significant unobservable data used in valuation:

Listed shares | Net asset value | NAV | 203.53 | 215.19 | 10 percent increase (decrease) in the NAVs would result in increase (decrease) in fair value by S/11,199,000 as of December 31, 2021 and S/10,754,000 as of December 31, 2020. | |||||
Private Equity Stocks | Net asset value | NAV | Depends on each investment | Depends on each investment | 10 percent increase (decrease) in the NAVs would result in increase (decrease) in fair value by S/7,300,000 as of December 31, 2021 and S/1,448,000 as of December 31, 2020. | |||||
Private equity funds | Net asset value | NAV | Depends on each investment | Depends on each investment | 10 percent increase (decrease) in the NAVs would result in increase (decrease) in fair value by S/78,305,000 as of December 31, 2021 and S/27,983,000 as of December 31, 2020. | |||||
Listed shares | Equity method | — | According to price risk | According to price risk | 5 percent increase (decrease) of the price would result in increase in fair value of S/1,994,000 as of December 31, 2021 and S/1,811,000 as of December 31, 2020. |
Starting in 2020, the Group performed changes in the determination of the estimates for the fair value of these investments considering the nature of themselves, as well as the underlying assets and the information to which it had access on the valuation date, concluding that the best valuation method for these investments is the use of the net asset value (henceforth “NAV”).

The methodologies and assumptions used to determine fair values depend on the terms and risk characteristics of each financial instrument and they include the following:
(i) | Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans are assessed by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the estimated losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the book value of loans, net of allowances, was not significantly different from the calculated fair values. |
(ii) | Instruments whose fair value approximates their book value: For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturity (less than 3 months) it is assumed that the carrying amounts approximate to their fair values. This assumption is also applied to demand deposits, savings accounts without a specific maturity and variable-rate financial instruments. |
(iii) | Fixed-rate financial instruments: The fair value of fixed-rate financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost is determined by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognized with current market rates related to similar financial instruments for their remaining term to maturity. The fair value of fixed interest rate deposits is based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates for financial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued, the fair value is determined based on quoted market prices. When quotations are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on the yield curve of the appropriate interest rate for the remaining term to maturity. |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
32. | Fiduciary activities and management of funds |
The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties; therefore, the Group makes purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Assets that are held in a trust are not included in the consolidated financial statements. These services give rise to the risk that the Group could eventually be held responsible of poor yielding of the assets under its management.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the value of the managed
