PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Credicorp Ltd. is a Bermuda exempted company (and is referred to in this Annual Report as Credicorp, the Company, the Group, we, or us, each of which means either Credicorp Ltd. as a separate entity or as an entity together with our consolidated subsidiaries, as the context may require). We maintain our financial books and records in Peruvian Soles and present our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRS differ in certain respects from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States.

The balances of financial instruments as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”; the balances of the previous periods have been prepared in accordance with IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Measurement and recognition”. Also, the balances of leases as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 16 “Leases”; and the balances of the previous period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases”.

We operate primarily through our four lines of business (LoBs): Universal Banking, Microfinance, Insurance & Pensions, and Investment Banking & Wealth Management.

Our eight main operating subsidiaries are:

•

Within Universal Banking: (i) Banco de Crédito del Perú S.A. (BCP Stand-alone), a Peruvian financial institution; and (ii) Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A. (BCP Bolivia) a commercial bank that operates in Bolivia and that we hold through Inversiones Credicorp Bolivia S.A. (ICBSA);

•

Within Microfinance: (iii) Mibanco, Banco de la Microempresa S.A. (Mibanco), a Peruvian banking entity oriented toward the micro and small business sector; and (iv) Mibanco – Banco de la Microempresa de Colombia S.A. (Mibanco Colombia), which resulted from the merger between Banco Compartir S.A. (Bancompartir) and Edyficar S.A.S. (Encumbra), which we hold through Credicorp Holding Colombia S.A.S.;

•

Within Insurance and Pensions: (v) Pacífico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros S.A. (Pacífico Seguros and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, Grupo Pacífico), an entity that contracts and manages all types of general risk and life insurance, reinsurance and property investment and financial operations; and (vi) Prima AFP, a private pension fund; and

•

Finally, within Investment Banking and Wealth Management: (vii) Credicorp Capital Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries) was formed in 2012, and (viii) ASB Bank Corp., resulted from the merger between ASB Bank Corp. and Atlantic Security Bank, which we hold through Atlantic Security Holding Corporation (ASHC).

Content

For information about these LoBs, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (2) Lines of Business (LoBs)”.

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone represented 75.5% of our total assets and 69.1% of our equity attributable to Credicorp’s equity holders (that is, its shareholders). Unless otherwise specified, the financial information for BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, Mibanco Colombia, ASB Bank Corp., Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP and Credicorp Capital included in this Annual Report is presented in accordance with IFRS and before eliminations for consolidation purposes. See “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.A Selected Financial Data” and “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.A History and Development of the Company”. We refer to BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, Mibanco Colombia, Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP, Credicorp Capital and ASB as our main operating subsidiaries.

“ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.A Selected Financial Data” contains key information related to our performance. This information was obtained mainly from our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report to “S/”, “Sol”, “local currency” or “Soles” are to Peruvian Soles (each Sol is divided into 100 céntimos (cents)), and references to “$”, “US$,” “Dollars”, “US Dollars” or “U.S. Dollars” are to United States Dollars. In addition, references to USDPEN are the currency exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Peruvian Sol.

Content

Some of our subsidiaries, namely Atlantic Security Holding and four of its subsidiaries: Atlantic Security International Financial Services Inc (ASIF), ASB Bank Corp., Atlantic Private Equity Investment Advisor, Atlantic Security Private Equity General Partner, Credicorp Capital USA, Inc. (with its subsidiaries Credicorp Capital Advisors LLC. and Credicorp Capital LLC.) and Credicorp Capital Asset Management Administradora General de Fondos maintain their operations and balances in US Dollars and other currencies. As a result, in certain instances throughout this Annual Report, we have translated US Dollars and other currencies to Soles. You should not construe any of these translations as representations that the US Dollar amounts actually represent such equivalent Sol amounts or that such US Dollar amounts could be converted into Soles at the rate indicated, as of the dates mentioned herein, or at all. Unless otherwise indicated, these Sol amounts have been translated from US Dollar amounts at an exchange rate of S/3.987 = US$1.00, which is the December 31, 2021 exchange rate set by the Peruvian Superintendence of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y Administradoras Privadas de Fondos de Pensiones or SBS by its Spanish initials). Converting US Dollars to Soles on a specified date (at the prevailing exchange rate on that date) may result in the presentation of Sol amounts that are different from the Sol amounts that would result by converting the same amount of US Dollars on a different specified date (at the prevailing exchange rate on such date). Our Bolivian subsidiary operates in Bolivianos (BOB). For consolidation purposes, our Bolivian subsidiary’s financial statements are also presented in Soles. Our Colombian and Chilean subsidiaries operate in Colombian Pesos (COP) and Chilean Pesos (CLP), respectively, and their financial statements are also converted into Soles for consolidation purposes.

Our management’s criteria for translating foreign currency, for the purpose of preparing Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements, are described in “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (3) Critical Accounting Policies – 3.3 Foreign Exchange”.

3. D	Risk Factors

Our businesses are affected by many external and other factors in the markets in which we operate. Different risk factors can impact our businesses, our ability to operate effectively and our business strategies. You should consider the risk factors carefully and read them in conjunction with all the information in this document. You should note that the risk factors described below are not the only risks to consider. Rather, these are the risks that we currently consider material. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or of which we are unaware, and any of these risks could have similar effects to those set forth below.

Macroeconomic Risks

Our geographic location exposes us to risks related to Peruvian political, social, and economic conditions.

Most operations of BCP Stand-alone, Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP, Mibanco and a significant part of Credicorp Capital’s operations are located in Peru. In addition, while ASB Bank Corp. is based in Panama rather than in Peru, most of its customers are located in Peru. Therefore, our results primarily depend on economic activity in Peru. Changes in economic conditions, both international and domestic, government policies or social uncertainty can alter the financial health and normal development of our businesses. These changes may include, but are not limited to, high inflation, currency depreciation, currency exchange controls, limits on interest rates, confiscation of private property, financial regulation, among others. Similarly, terrorist activity, political and social unrest and corruption scandals can adversely impact our operations.

In the past, Peru has experienced social and political instability from domestic terrorism, during the 1980’s, to military coups and a succession of regimes. Although the risk of renewed domestic terrorism is not expected, any violence derived from the drug trade or a resumption of large-scale terrorist activities could hurt our operations. Additionally, some regimes heavily intervened in the economy, where various economic policies and priorities were pursued, including expropriation, nationalization, and new taxation policies. This altered the country’s economic environment, financial system, and agricultural sector, among other components.

Likewise, political disputes between the government and the opposition have been experienced. Since 2001, more than ten different political organizations have nominated candidates for President in each of the four elections, showing low approval rating for all candidates (usually around 20%-30% approval ratings). Under former President Kuczynski’s term, there were several episodes of political disputes and turmoil which resulted in minister censoring by Peru’s congress. After Kuczynski’s resignation in March 2018 (amid corruption allegations due to the Lava Jato (Portuguese for “car wash”) scandal) led to Martin Vizcarra taking office. The tension between the executive branch and congress persisted, and finally President Vizcarra dissolved the congress on September 30, 2019, and called for a new election of congressional members. Importantly, on January 15, 2020, the Constitutional Court ruled that the dissolution of Peru’s congress was constitutional. After the new congress entered office in March 2020, political disputes still persisted, which was reflected in the bills presented by congress and the vetoes adopted by the Executive branch. Between the general elections in 2016 until March 2021, Peru had 4 presidents, 2 congresses and 9 prime ministers, which reflects the political uncertainty derived from confrontation between the government and congress.

According to the Peruvian National institute of Statistic and Informatic (Instituto Nacional de Estadítica e Informática or INEI by its Spanish initials), high levels of poverty in Peru have always been a historical factor of social conflict. Between 2010 and 2019, according to INEI, Peru’s poverty rate decreased from 30.8% of the population to 20.2%. However, according to INEI, in 2020, due to the economic shock resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and lockdowns that reduced output, the poverty rate increased to 30.1%, erasing nearly all gains from the last decade.

In this context of higher poverty, in 2021, Pedro Castillo was elected president resulting in a political and social polarization, and the fragmentation of political forces has been noted by all major rating agencies that rate Peruvian obligations. Since July 2021, President Castillo has appointed four prime ministers, Guido Bellido in July 2021, Mirtha Vasquez in October 2021, Hector Valer in February 2022, and Anibal Torres in February 2022. The current minister of finance is Oscar Graham. Even though his influence within the cabinet is limited, Mr. Graham is an experienced economist from the Peruvian Central Bank (Banco Central de Reserva or BCRP by its Spanish initials) and has worked at the Ministry of Finance (MEF) as General Director of Financial Markets and as an advisor to the Minister. Among the risks of Castillo’s government is the intentions of higher state control of the economy, the change of the 1993 Constitution, and the lack of a highly technical cabinet. However, a high disapproval of the government reduces the risk of a Constituent Assembly and a radical change in the economic regime (according to Datum, an international recognized market research company, government disapproval was 76% as of April 2022). If this context continues, agents anticipate that it would be unlikely to see a net capital outflow like the one in 2021, which reached a historical record of around US$16 billion (7.4% of GDP in 2021), according to the BCRP.

There can be no assurance that Peru will not face political, economic, or social problems in the future or that these problems will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There is always the possibility that a political fraction could promote policies to respond to social unrest with messages that could include, among other things, expropriation, nationalization, suspension of the enforcement of creditors’ rights and new taxation policies.

Another source of risk is related to political and social unrest in areas where mining, oil and gas operations take place. In recent years, Peru has experienced protests against mining projects in several regions around the country. Mining is an important part of the Peruvian economy. According to INEI, the mining and hydrocarbons sector represented 14.4% of GDP (mining 12.1% and hydrocarbons 2.2%) in 2021. The country’s exports are highly concentrated in the mining industry; in 2021 free on board (FOB) exports of metallic mining represented 62.8% of total exports, with tax revenues from the sector representing 16.3% of total tax revenue in 2021 (9.1% in January 2022).

Content

On several occasions, local communities have opposed these operations and accused them of polluting the environment, specifically rivers, hurting agricultural and other traditional economic activities, as well as complained of not receiving the benefits in terms of growth and wealth generated by the mining projects. For example, in 2021, given the politicized social unrest in Apurimac surrounding the mining project Las Bambas, the firm MMG stated that if the routes to the mine continued blocked by different politicized members of communities surrounding the mine and routes to the mine, they will not be able to operate. During 2021, due to restrictions on both inbound and outbound transportation, Las Bambas has been forced to progressively reduce mining operations. At the end of 2021, Las Bambas produced 12.6% of all Peruvian copper.

Delays or cancellations of mining projects could reduce Peruvian economic growth and business confidence, thereby hurting the financial system both directly (many mining projects are at least partially financed by local financial institutions) and indirectly (overall economic activity could decelerate). Any such effect on to the financial system could have a material adverse effect on our business and result of operations.

Our banking and capital market operations in neighboring countries expose us to risk related to political and economic conditions.

ICBSA, Credicorp Capital Holding Colombia, Credicorp Capital Holding Chile and ASB Bank Corp. expose us to risks related to Bolivian, Colombian, Chilean and Panamanian political and economic conditions, respectively.

Latin America has historically shown high rates of poverty and social inequalities. According to CEPAL, Poverty in Latin America went from 51.2% in 1990 to 31.6% in 2010, and due to the pandemic poverty increased to 33.0% in 2020, and in 2021 CEPAL estimates 32.1%. With respect to extreme poverty in Latin America, it went from 15.5% in 1990 to 11.4% in 2019, and because of the pandemic it increased to 13.1% in 2020, and in 2021 CEPAL estimates an increase to 13.8%. Representing the high rates of social inequalities, the Gini coefficient, a measure of income inequality (from 0 to 1; 0=no inequality, 1=maximum inequality), was 0.54 for Latin America in 2002 and was 0.46 in 2020. In 2020, the Gini coefficients for certain major Latin-American countries were as follows according to the World Bank: Colombia – 0.55, Brazil – 0.52, Panama – 0.51, Chile – 0.47, Ecuador – 0.47, Peru – 0.46, Bolivia – 0.45, Mexico – 0.45. As a comparison, according to the World Bank, the Gini coefficient shows less inequality in Spain – 0.35, Canada – 0.33, Denmark – 0.28, Netherlands – 0.28, Belgium – 0.27, Iceland – 0.26 and, Slovenia – 0.25.

As a consequence of this poverty and inequality, which results in fewer economic opportunities for Latin Americans, Latin America has lately witnessed the advance of leftist positions and populist promises in the political arena. There have been related riots in Chile and Colombia, far-left candidates have won elections in Argentina, El Salvador, Peru, Chile and Nicaragua, and new leftist governments may soon be elected in the upcoming presidential elections in Colombia and Brazil. As a consequence, there is a risk for private investment and investment confidence, as leftist, populist, and non-feasible promises continue in political set.

Bolivia

During 2021, the Bolivian economy registered a gradual recovery, after an unprecedented contraction of 8.83% in 2020 due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the easing of strict lockdown measures imposed in 2020, many economic sectors resumed operations in 2021, allowing for an improvement in the main macroeconomic indicators. Also, the international context and higher commodities’ prices played a fundamental role in restoring the dynamics of key sectors of the economy. Specifically, the mining and commodities sector experienced significant benefits from the favorable external context. Likewise, there was less pressure on international reserves due to a decrease in the local demand for dollars and a positive flow of foreign currency into the financial system. By the end of the year, Bolivia’s international reserves were at US$4.7 billion, equivalent to 12.0% of its GDP.

According to local analysts, Bolivia’s GDP expanded approximately 6.0% in 2021. For 2022, the Minister of Economy has predicted that the growth rate will be 5.1%, provided that external conditions do not change and the government continues with its stimulus programs. On the other hand, the authorities expect a progressive reduction in the fiscal deficit in 2022 year and a slight increase in inflation. However, the economic outlook will still depend on the application of sustainable economic policies in the medium term, access to external financing, control of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent to which the Omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 may affect Bolivia is not yet clear.

Additionally, the lending quotas and caps on interest rates that were established in the financial services law (Ley de Servicios Financieros No. 393), which was enacted in 2013, continued to negatively impact interest margins on banks and reduce their ability to generate enough capital to maintain the growth rates in their lending portfolios. Finally, according to Law No. 1392, enacted in September 2021, participants in the private pension system, were made eligible, under certain conditions, to make partial withdrawals from their pension funds. However, the impact on the liquidity of the financial system of this measure was minimal.

Colombia

The Colombian economy achieved a remarkable performance in 2021, as the GDP expanded 10.6% (compared to having shrunk 7.0% in 2020) according to the Colombian National Statistics Bureau (DANE by its Spanish Initials), despite dealing with a national strike between March and April 2021 and a strong third wave of COVID-19 contagion in 2Q21. This strong performance was mainly explained by the remarkable evolution of consumption, as household spending maintained a strong momentum throughout the year amid favorable financial conditions, record-high remittances from abroad workers and a continuous reopening of the economy, which pushed services spending. On its part, the government maintained an expansionary spending stance, like the one of the first year of the pandemic, which also significantly pushed the growth of domestic demand.

Content

While the recovery of the economy has been strong and better-than-expected, there are pending tasks and weaknesses that should be acknowledged. First, exports have been weak in the past quarters and have lagged the recovery of total GDP. Thus, the current account deficit has widened significantly given weak external sales and the rapid acceleration of domestic demand. Subsequently, Colombia currently has one of the largest external deficits among emerging countries (close to 5.7% of GDP in 2021, according to Banco de la República). Secondly, the investment recovery has lagged in comparison to the consumption recovery, mainly due to the political and pandemic uncertainty. Finally, the labor market has not yet fully recovered, which may cause more social tensions for the upcoming government.

Furthermore, uncertainty is also driven by the upcoming elections in first half of 2022. Following the elections held in mid-March of 2022, Congress will continue to be fragmented during the 2022 to 2026 period, remaining a key counterweight for the next administration. Regardless of the profile and political leaning of the upcoming president, the administration will have to deal with pressures on the labor market, the pension system, the public finances, and the need of diversifying (and strengthening) the exports basket of the country.

According to the National Registry, in the congressional elections held in March 2022, the far-left party Pacto Histórico, led by presidential candidate Gustavo Petro, reached roughly 18% of votes, equivalent to 19 seats in the Senate. On the other hand, the Conservative party (right) reached 16 seats. Although it is too early to assume potential alliances, it seems very tough for any candidate to achieve more than 50% in Congress.

Beyond Congress, the threat of a potential populist government after the upcoming presidential elections (May 29, 2022, with a possible runoff on June 19, 2022) remains high. Gustavo Petro, who leads the voting polls (36.5% and 37.0% according to the latest surveys of CNC (Centro Nacional de Consultoría) and Yanhaas, respectively) would represent a threat to policy continuity given his heterodox proposals. The silver lining is that Mr. Petro has affirmed that he would not pursue a constitutional change, as he aims to enforce the current Constitution. We believe that his proposals would nevertheless have a strong effect on the economy over time, particularly through an impact on private investment.

Despite the electoral uncertainty, 2022 GDP is expected to grow 4.9% according to expectations surveys of Banco de la República, as the impulse of private consumption should remain as the economy reopens, while investments and exports would eventually catch up to the favorable external conditions.

Chile

The Chilean GDP rebounded 11.7% in 2021 (compared to a 5.8% contraction in 2020) according to the Central Bank of Chile (BCCh by its Spanish initials), one of the biggest among region and emerging countries. The reopening process, measures to support households and companies and withdrawals from pension funds boosted growth during the last part of the year. As a result, the GDP is expected to grow around 8% in 2022 according to BCCh statistics, above pre-pandemic levels.

Chile’s vaccination process, continues to evolve positively, leading the region in terms of vaccinated population and also one of the best performers at a global level. In fact, in January 2022, the government started the implementation of 4th vaccination doses. Nevertheless, inflation accelerated during the last half of 2021 and closed at 7.2% (in comparison to 2020) according to the National Statistics Institute (INE), while the policy rate stood at 4%. As a result of idiosyncratic factors, the CLP depreciated almost 20% in 2021, closing the year at CLP/USD 850 according to BCCh statistics.

On the political front, on December 19, 2021, the presidential election showed that leftist candidate Gabriel Boric was elected as the new Chilean president with 56% of the votes, while conservative candidate Jose Antonio Kast obtained 44%. Voter turnout stood at 56%, higher than the ballotage in 2017 and from the first voting round in November 2021. In fact, according to the national election commission, the participation rate was even higher than the Plebiscite in 2019, beating even the most optimistic forecasts, but in line with a political event that was considered one of the most polarized, uncertain, and relevant political processes in Chile from the last decades. Mr. Boric became president in March 2022, and his term lasts until March 2026.

In addition, Congress election in November 2021 showed that, in the upper house, the right-wing coalition increased its participation from 44% to 50%, while in the lower chamber, it reduced its participation from 46% to 44%, according to the national election commission. However, the left-wing coalition now is even more fragmented than before. These results will be particularly relevant to reach the quorums needed to approve upcoming structural reforms.

The Constitutional Convention that was convened to draft a new constitution for Chile after the approval of a national plebiscite held in October 2020, has approved both some moderate articles and some articles that propose significant changes. Some of the most controversial articles approved include i) the creation of regional states that are politically, administratively and financially autonomous; ii) legal pluralism; and iii) jurisdictional responsibility. Other controversial articles that are still pending for approval include: i) changes in the political system, ii) nationalization of mining companies, and iii) changes in the water rights. A sluggish private investment, a lower long-term GDP growth and a persistent low business sentiment are the main risks that may arise from radical proposals approval. It is still too early to determine whether Chile will face a substantial or moderate shift in the rules. The referendum will take place in September 2022, and 44% of respondents are expected to vote in favor of the new constitution, 37% against, and 19% undecided, according to a CADEM (market research company) poll conducted on March 6, 2022.

Panama

Panama was one of the Latin American countries hardest hit by the pandemic, due to the importance of the services sector, which represents more than 75% of GDP according to Focus Economics statistics, and its reliance on external demand. It models as a regional trade, logistics and financial hub, highly integrated into the world economy, which left it vulnerable to a severe global downturn. The prolonged social distancing measures also played an important role in making the 2020 recession an unprecedented one, where GDP contracted 17.9% according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC).

Compared to other countries where Credicorp operates, Panama’s economic recovery has been weaker given the lack of fiscal space to adopt an expansionary fiscal policy and the absence of a central bank that executes its own monetary policy, as it is a dollarized economy. In that sense, although the GDP rebounded 15.3% in 2021 (according to the latest data available of INEC), which is considered one of the highest growth rates in the region, the GDP is still 5.4% below the same period of 2019. Growth in 2021 has been supported by the continued global economic recovery, big infrastructure projects and the first full year of copper production of Minera Cobre Panamá. This mining project has been the largest private investment project in Panama’s history (US$6.7 billion or 10.0% of 2019 GDP, according to the IMF) and will be part of the top 15 copper production mines in the world. Copper exports have more than doubled from US$1.1 billion in 2020 to US$2.8 billion in 2021according to the INEC.

Panama faces important public debt sustainability issues and is part of the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Public debt as a percentage of GDP peaked in 2020 at 68% of GDP. As a result of this weakened fiscal position, Panama’s credit rating has suffered downgrades. In November 2020, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) reduced its credit rating to BBB with stable outlook and later, in August 2021, changed the outlook to negative. Additionally, in March 2021, Moody’s also lowered its credit rating by one notch to Baa2. Lastly, in February 2020, Fitch changed its outlook to negative (BBB) and a year later, in February 2021 it downgraded its credit rating to BBB- with no upgrade of the outlook, which left Panama only one notch above investment grade. The outlook was changed from negative to stable in January 2022. As of December 2021, Panama’s public debt of as repsented 63% of its GDP, which is still higher than pre-pandemic levels.

For 2022, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) estimates that the economy will expand 7.3% and that it will have the highest growth rate in the region. Thus, according to the government, it is highly probable it will recover to pre-pandemic levels as activities keep returning to normality, the population is increasingly vaccinated, and copper production and large infrastructure projects continue.

As a result, significant changes to Bolivian, Colombian, Chilean and Panamanian political and economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Economic and market conditions in other countries may affect the Peruvian economy and the market price of Peruvian securities.

Economic conditions in other countries and developments in international financial markets can affect Peru’s economic growth.

Peruvian trade responds significantly to fluctuations in metal prices, especially gold and copper. The trade balance closed in 2021 at a historical maximum of US$14,752 million. Exports reached 28% of GDP, the highest since the 1950s. As of February 17, 2022, copper price registered US$4.55 per pound, this is an increase of 63% since December 31, 2019, and 20% since December 31, 2020. It is worth to mention, that copper price stood at a minimum of US$2.10 per pound during March 2020. As of December 2021, gold prices registered US$1,829.2 per Troy ounce, decreasing 3.6% since December 31, 2020, but increasing 16.0% since December 31, 2019.

For further information, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Economic and market conditions in other countries may affect the Peruvian economy and the market price of Peruvian securities.”

In addition to changes in metal prices, Peru is also vulnerable to fluctuations in foreign demand, especially from China (33% of Peru’s 2021 exports) and the United States (13% of Peru’s 2021 exports), both Peru’s main trade partners. Throughout 2018 and 2019, there were trade tensions between the United States and China. These tensions included the imposition of tariffs on both U.S. and Chinese products on several occasions, denouncements regarding currency manipulation and filing actions in the World Trade Organization, among others, which negatively affected the global demand. Additionally, a pronounced economic slowdown in China over the next few years poses a risk to Peruvian growth as it may impact exports and foreign direct investment. Furthermore, the COVID-19 outbreak adversely affected the global economy, including the economies of China and the United States, resulting in, among other things, decreased demand for goods and services and a negative impact on trade activity, which adversely affected Peru’s economy.

Likewise, a reduction of growth in Latin America can also impact the Peruvian economy and our business, especially regarding Chile, Colombia, Bolivia and Panama, where we have operations. During the last quarter of 2019, neighboring countries like Chile, Ecuador and Bolivia faced social protests against government measures and political events. In 2020, riots happened in Colombia due social protest to the tight fiscal policy of the government during the pandemic. Also, in 2020, protests in Peru ended with the departure of President Merino, and the designation of Francisco Sagasti by Congress as President of Peru.

These protests in urban areas had a negative effect on economic activity and businesses in general. We cannot assure that Peru will not experience new events itself or experience any residual effects from events in neighboring countries, which may have a materially adverse effect on our business and result of operations.

In 2020, despite the global importance of the United Kingdom (UK) leaving the European Union (Brexit), the effects on the Peruvian economy and Credicorp’s businesses are estimated to be limited. Peruvian FOB exports to U.K. were 2.3% in 2021.

Furthermore, financial conditions in global markets also affect the Peruvian economy, affecting interest rates for local corporate bonds and influencing the exchange rate. Monetary policy tightening in developed economies, particularly by the FED in the United States, could adversely affect economic activity in Peru since it strengthens the US Dollar and increases interest rates, thereby reducing access to funding for some local businesses. The relative uncertainty associated with the reversal of monetary stimuli in advanced economies affects growth.

Also, since the Peruvian economy has loans denominated in US Dollars (23.0% of loans and 36.2% of deposits as of December 2021), which is referred to as financial dollarization, potential financial balance sheet position effects should be considered because a higher exchange rate could increase debt burdens for individuals and businesses that have taken loans in dollars but earn their income in local currency.

In conclusion, Peru is a small, open economy highly integrated with the rest of the world and is affected by movements in the external environment (growth of main trade partners, changes in commodity prices, and movements in external rates and global financial markets). As such, any major deterioration of the international economy can have a materially adverse effect on the Peruvian economy and markets, as well as on our businesses and results of operations.

Geopolitical tensions and conflict, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, could have economic effects that could have a negative impact on Peruvian economy.

We are subject to geopolitical risks, including economic sanctions, acts or threats of international or domestic terrorism, actions taken by governments in response thereto, state-sponsored cyberattacks or campaigns, civil unrest and/or military conflicts, which could adversely affect business and economic conditions abroad and in the markets in which we operate. For example, in early 2022, geopolitical tensions intensified as Russia invaded Ukraine and NATO backed Ukraine with various forms of support short of direct intervention. This geopolitical conflict, and related instability and international sanctions and other restrictions on transactions with Russia, is affecting international energy prices (crude oil and natural gas price) and agricultural goods (grains and fertilizers). Since the conflict began on February 24, 2022, international prices of crude oil, wheat and fertilizers have reached their highest prices in several years.

World inflation unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting major bottlenecks in the supply chain, which had already led to responses from the central banks of emerging economies, now may accelerate more quickly due to the shock in the supply of commodities as a consequence of the conflict. High global inflation together with the conflict may deteriorate (i) real income, (ii) aggregate demand, and (iii) economic growth expectations, wich could lead to a contraction of vulnerable economies, including those that were heavily indebted after the economic shock resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Content

Emerging nations with higher levels of poverty (such many Latin-American nations), in particular, may suffer greater impacts than other nations from rising prices of fertilizers and grains that will make agricultural products and basic needs more expensive, along with higher costs in the transportation of goods and public due to the higher price of oil. In this way, the worst transmission channel for emerging economies with high poverty rates may be a drop in real income due to higher inflation in 2022. High poverty levels, together with greater inequality, could translate into fewer economic opportunities for residents of emerging nations and could lead to risk of social risk factor, unrest to the extent that real wages continue to stagnate due to higher consumer prices.

In addition, in Peru, where we conduct most of our business, this conflict may have impacts on the economy despite Russia and Ukraine represent less than 2% of the World’s GDP. The BCRP might be pressured to further raise its reference rate so that inflation expectations for 2023 do not become unanchored. These and other economic effects of this conflict and other geopolitical situations could have a negative impact on the Peruvian economy, specially it can impact on short-term private investment and the ability of borrowers to repay their obligations to the Group.

Legal and Regulatory Risks

Regulatory changes and adoption of new international guidelines to sectors in which we operate could impact our earnings and adversely affect our operating performance.

Because we are subject to regulation and supervision in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Cayman Islands, United States of America, and Panama, changes to the regulatory framework in any of these countries or changes in tax laws could adversely affect our business.

Financial Services Activities

We are, most directly, subject to extensive supervision and regulation through the SBS’s Banking and Insurance System Law (Ley General del Sistema Financiero y del Sistema de Seguros y Orgánica) and the Regulation of the Consolidated Supervision of Financial and Mixed Conglomerates (Reglamento para la Supervision Consolidada de los Conglomerados Financieros y Mixtos).

The SBS and the BCRP supervise and regulate BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco’s operations. Peru’s constitution and the SBS’s statutory charter grant the SBS the authority to oversee and control banks and other financial institutions, including private pension funds and insurance companies. The SBS and the BCRP have general administrative responsibilities over BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco, including defining capital and reserve requirements. In past years, the BCRP has, on numerous occasions, changed the deposit reserve requirements applicable to Peruvian commercial banks, as well as the rate of interest paid on deposit reserves and the amount of deposit reserves on which no interest is payable by the BCRP. Such changes in the supervision and regulation of BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru”. Furthermore, changes in regulation related to consumer protection made by these agencies may also affect our business. In March 2021, a new interest rate ceiling law was approved by Peru’s congress, which grants the BCRP the power to set rates every six months, with the purpose of regulating the market for consumers, small consumer loans, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and credit card loans. Additionally, the law also defines a new regulation on certain fee charges, which will be supervised by the SBS. Therefore, regulatory risks are a key factor due to their potential impact on Credicorp’s businesses and financial condition.

For further information about SBS Intervention please refer to “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru (iii) Peruvian Commercial Banks Regulation - BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco”.

The Superintendence of the Securities Market of Peru (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores or SMV by its Spanish initials) also supervises certain of our subsidiaries such as BCP Consolidated, Credicorp Capital Sociedad Agente de Bolsa (Credicorp Capital Bolsa), Credicorp Capital Sociedad Administradora de Fondos (Credicorp Capital Fondos), Credicorp Capital Peru S.A.A. and Credicorp Capital Sociedad Titulizadora S.A. (Credicorp Capital Titulizadora).

Similarly, we are regulated by other governmental entities in other jurisdictions. In Colombia, we are subject to supervision and regulation through the Unit of Financial Regulation (Unidad de Regulación Financiera or URF by its Spanish Initials as regulation entity), the Financial Superintendence of Colombia (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia or SFC by its Spanish initials) as supervision and regulation entity and the Colombian Stock Market Self-Regulator (Autorregulador del Mercado de Valores de Colombia or AMV by its Spanish initials). In Chile, we are subject to supervision and regulation through the Financial Markets Commission of Chile (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero or CMF by its Spanish initials). See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.4. Colombia and 6.2.5 Chile”.

BCP’s Miami agency is regulated, supervised, and examined by the Office of Financial Regulation of the State of Florida Department of Financial Services and by the Board of Governors of the FED. Our direct and indirect nonbanking subsidiaries doing business in the United States also are subject to the authority of relevant U.S. financial regulatory agencies depending on their U.S. activities.

Content

Further, Credicorp Capital LLC., our U.S. broker-dealer, is regulated, supervised, and examined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Additionally, Credicorp Capital Advisors LLC., our U.S. financial advisor, is also regulated by the SEC.

In the Cayman Islands, we are subject to the regulation of the Cayman Islands Companies Law for ASHC. Effective August 2, 2021, Atlantic Security Bank (Cayman Islands) and ASB Bank Corp. (Panama) merged, with the latter being the surviving entity. ASB Bank Corp. is supervised by its principal regulators, the Superintendence of Banks of Panama (Superintendencia de Bancos de Panama or SBP by its Spanish initials) and, with respect to activities relating to its securities investment business, the Superintendence of the Securities Market of the Republic of Panama. In Bolivia, we are subject to the supervision of the Bolivian Financial System Supervisory Authority (Autoridad de Supervision del Sistema Financiero or ASFI by its Spanish initials) and of the Bolivian Supervision and Control Authority of Pensions and Insurance (Autoridad de Fiscalización y Control Social de Pensiones y Seguros or APS by its Spanish initials).

Changes in the supervision and regulation of our subsidiaries in other countries may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Taxation

Changes in U.S. laws or regulations applicable to our business, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), as well as other international regulations such as the OECD’s Common Reporting Standards (CRS), may have an adverse effect on our financial and operational performance, by significantly increasing our compliance obligations. Complying with these regulations has become increasingly challenging, especially in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related events that have had a profound impact on our organizations, by reshaping banking business in terms of digital transformation and customer relations.

For a discussion of Peruvian, Chilean, and Colombian tax regulation, see “ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – 10.E Taxation”.

For details on Income tax review by the Tax Authorities on the jurisdictions in which we operate, please refer to Note 19(a) and (d) of the consolidated financial statements. Also, for further information refer to “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries”.

Insurance

Our Property and Casualty (P&C) and Life insurance business is carried out by Pacifico Seguros, which is part of Grupo Pacifico. The insurance business is subject to regulation by the SBS. New legislation or regulations may adversely affect Grupo Pacifico’s ability to underwrite and price risks accurately, which in turn would affect underwriting results and business profitability. Grupo Pacifico is unable to predict whether and to what extent new laws and regulations that may affect its business will be adopted in the future.

Content

Grupo Pacifico is also unable to predict the timing of the adoption of any new laws and the effects any such new laws or regulations may have on its operations, profitability and financial condition in future years. However, we still expect Peru to adopt new legislation in the coming years, similar to the measure enacted by the European Union through Solvency II, which sought to further reduce the insolvency risk faced by insurance companies by improving the regulation regarding the amount of capital that insurance companies in the European Union must hold.

Pension fund

In 2012, the Peruvian government passed a law to reform the Peruvian Private Pension System (PPS), which attempted to expand coverage for affiliates, encourage market competition, and decrease administration fees in the PPS.

In 2016, Peru’s congress approved a reform that allows affiliates to withdraw up to 95.5% of their pension funds when they reach the retirement age (65 years) and unemployment early retirement age (50 and 55 years for women and men, respectively). This initiative may motivate affiliates that haven’t reached the age of retirement to apply to an early retirement regime by altering their employment situation.

As such, as it pertains to affiliates close to retirement, the withdrawal of 95.5% of their funds could impact AFP’s funds under management and the Prima’s operations. Therefore, in 2019, to reinforce this reform and cushion the level of early withdrawals, the government approved new strict restrictions for this retirement alternative for those affiliates who qualify for early retirement. Although this can help to mitigate the risk that a massive number of affiliates request early withdrawals, and so reduce the impact of early retirement on funds under management, the risk of retirements of funds is still on the table.

In March and April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Peruvian government and congress took measures to provide liquidity to affiliates by allowing them to draw down their funds. These measures had an impact on funds under management and on income in the AFPs’ system in 2020. In the case of Prima, total fund withdrawals amounted S/7.5 billion, representing 70% of the funds that were available for withdrawal. In November 2020, as the COVID-19 crisis continued, the Peruvian government and congress allowed a second withdraw of funds which reached 2.4 billion soles approximately. This withdrawal took effect between December 2020 and February 2021.

Content

In May 2021, the government and congress approved a new withdrawal of funds, the total amount withdrawn reached S/9.2 billion, representing 79% of the funds available for withdrawal. In August 2021, the Congress approved and published a Law that reduces from 55 to 50 the age to access early retirement for men.

See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru”.

Credicorp, as a Bermuda exempted company, may be adversely affected by any change in Bermuda law or regulation.

Pursuant to the Economic Substance Act 2018 (as amended) of Bermuda (the ES Act), which came into force on January 1, 2019, a registered entity other than an entity which is resident for tax purposes in certain jurisdictions outside Bermuda (non-resident entity) that carries on as a business with any one or more of the “relevant activities” referred to in the ES Act must comply with economic substance requirements. The ES Act may require in-scope Bermuda entities which are engaged in such “relevant activities” to be directed and managed in Bermuda, have an adequate level of qualified employees in Bermuda, incur an adequate level of annual expenditure in Bermuda, maintain physical offices and premises in Bermuda or perform core income-generating activities in Bermuda. The list of “relevant activities” includes carrying on any one or more of: banking, insurance, fund management, financing, leasing, headquarters, shipping, distribution and service center, intellectual property and holding entities.

Based on the current guidance issued pursuant to the ES Act, the Bermuda Registrar of Companies will consider that relevant activities are being carried on as a business by an entity, and that such entity is therefore in scope of the ES Act, whether or not the entity earns any gross revenue in respect of such activity during the relevant financial period. Both Credicorp Ltd. and Credicorp Capital Ltd. are Bermuda exempted companies; thus, the ES Act will apply to them; both companies are considered “Pure Equity Holding” entities. All entities undertaking relevant activities, which includes all holding entities (i.e., pure equity holding entities), must file annually with the Registrar of Companies an Economic Substance Declaration (ESD), providing information in relation to the previous financial year (relevant financial period). The ESD will require the disclosure of certain key information applicable to an analysis of economic substance requirements. Pure equity holding entities are currently subject to reduced economic substance requirements, including the requirement to have adequate people for holding and managing equity participations, and adequate premises in Bermuda. An entity conducting the relevant activity of having a headquarters in Bermuda which generates gross revenue is required to satisfy the requirements under the ES Act in respect of that activity for that relevant financial period. However, an entity that earns no gross revenue in respect of such activity in any relevant financial period will not be required to satisfy the requirements under the ES Act in respect of that activity for that relevant financial period.

Content

The Registrar of Companies is responsible for monitoring and enforcing the economic substance regime. The legislation provides for civil penalties, subject to rights of appeal, up to US$250,000 to be applied in relation to non-compliance with the applicable economic substance requirements. If, after the civil penalties have been exhausted, an entity continues its failure to comply, the Registrar of Companies may apply to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for an order in such terms as it thinks fit. This may include an order to strike the entity off the Register of Companies. There is also an offence created of knowingly providing false declaration information to the Registrar of Companies, with penalties up to US$10,000 or imprisonment for two years, or both.

Other offshore jurisdictions released similar legislations that affect some of our offshore entities – ASHC in the Cayman Islands — imposing similar requirements and penalties.

The announcement and implementation of the discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) has led to uncertainty for financial institutions and may result in differences in the calculation of the applicable interest rate or payment amount depending on the terms of the governing instruments and increase operational and other risks to us and other industry participants.

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which regulates LIBOR, announced in July 2017 that it would no longer require banks to submit rates for LIBOR beyond 2021. Following a consultation process, on March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA) announced that it would cease publication of most LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021, with the exception of U.S. dollar LIBOR setting for overnight and 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month periods, which will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. The FCA has advised IBA that it has no intention of requiring it to publish any LIBOR settings beyond the cessation dates for such settings. The announcement that LIBOR would be discontinued led to uncertainty for financial institutions around the world, since LIBOR was referenced in hundreds of trillions of dollars of global transactions in a broad range of financial products. The discontinuance of LIBOR may also result in differences in the calculation of the applicable interest rate or payment amount depending on the terms of the governing instruments and increase operational and other risks to us and other industry participants.

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 (IOSCO). In the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the ARRC), a group of market participants organized by the FED and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as its preferred the alternative benchmark rate for US dollar LIBOR. U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies have also issued guidance on planning for and implementing a successful transition from LIBOR to SOFR.

Since the first half of 2018, Credicorp has had a multidisciplinary group working to define and execute a transition plan away from LIBOR and into SOFR and other alternative reference rates. This group has Credicorp’s CFO and BCP’s Head of the Treasury Division as senior sponsors. The group has measured exposure and risks of the transition in terms of products, clients, funding, contracts, and infrastructure, among others. For each exposure, we have established an individual plan aligned, as far as possible, to the recommendations published by the ARRC and we are starting to execute them.

Content

We consider Credicorp’s net exposure to LIBOR to be non-material, as it represents approximately 1.04% of our assets and 1.15% of our liabilities, as of December 31, 2021.

During the transition, infrastructure and contracts have been the biggest challenges, as well as the continuous changes in the market. In 2021, we worked on various fronts, such as improving data and systems, which allows an easier transition, defining and applying fallback language, which has been put in place for most contracts where we assume a liability and for new client loans originated at BCP, and keeping all the related teams updated, in order to offer the most accurate information to our clients.

In addition, in November 2021, the SBS recommended that supervised institutions not offer new contracts using LIBOR as a reference rate and that they instead use robust market-standard alternative rates. In light of these developments, we decided to follow the SBS’s recommendation, and have stopped offering products indexed to LIBOR and started using SOFR as main alternative reference rate since January 2022. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance on which benchmark rate(s) will ultimately gain acceptance as LIBOR replacements or how LIBOR may be determined for purpose of financial instruments that are currently referencing LIBOR, and we continue to monitor our exposure, along with any new risks that may emerge in connection with new developments and the release of information.

It may be difficult to serve process on or enforce judgments against us or our principals residing outside of the United States.

A significant majority of our Directors and officers live outside the United States (principally in Peru). Most of our assets and those of our principal subsidiaries are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or our principals to initiate a civil suit under the United States securities laws in United States courts. We have also been advised by our Peruvian counsel that liability under the United States federal securities laws may not be enforceable in original actions in Peruvian courts. In addition, judgments of United States courts obtained in actions under the United States federal securities laws may not be enforceable. Similarly, our Bermuda counsel have advised us that courts in Bermuda may not enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, or entertain actions in Bermuda, against us or our Directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions.

In addition, our Bye-laws contain a broad waiver by our shareholders of any claim or right of action, both individually and on our behalf, against any of our officers or Directors. This waiver limits the rights of shareholders to assert claims against our officers and Directors for any action taken by an officer or Director. It also limits the rights of shareholders to assert claims against officers for the failure of an officer or Director to take any action in the performance of his or her duties, except with respect to any matter involving willful negligence, willful default, fraud, or dishonesty on the part of the officer or Director.

Industry and Market Risks

We operate in a competitive environment that may limit our potential to grow, may put pressure on our margins and reduce our profitability.

BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco have experienced increased competition, including increased pressure on margins. This is primarily a result of the following:

•

Highly liquid foreign-owned commercial banks and microfinance institutions in the market;

•

Local and foreign financial services, wealth management and capital markets institutions, with substantial capital, technology, and marketing resources; and

•

Local pension funds that lend to BCP Stand-alone’s corporate customers through securities issuances.

Larger Peruvian companies have gained access to new sources of capital through the local and international capital markets, and BCP Stand-alone’s existing and new competitors, including non-banking institutions such as fintech companies, have increasingly made inroads into the higher margin, middle market, and retail banking sectors. Such increased competition has affected BCP Stand-alone’s loan growth as well as reduced the average interest rates that BCP Stand-alone can charge to its customers.

Competitors may also dedicate greater resources to, and be more successful in, the development of technologically advanced products and services that may compete directly with BCP Stand-alone’s and Mibanco products and services. Such competition would adversely affect the acceptance of BCP Stand-alone’s and Mibanco products and/or lead to adverse changes in the spending and saving habits of BCP Stand-alone’s and Mibanco customer base. If competing entities are successful in developing products and services that are more effective or less costly than the products and services developed by BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco, BCP Stand-alone’s and Mibanco products and services may be unable to compete successfully. BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco may not be able to maintain its market share if they are not able to match its competitors’ loan pricing or keep pace with their development of new products and services. Even if its products and services prove to be more effective than those developed by other entities, such other entities may be more successful in marketing their products and services than BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco because of their greater financial resources, higher sales and marketing capacity or other similar factors.

Content

We also face increasingly competition from non-banking competitors in some of our products and services. These financial competitors have emerged over the last years, in line with the higher role of digitalization, which include fintech and startups companies and other technological companies that may affect adversely our results. Some of these competitors operate with a differentiated or reduced level of regulation in comparison to regular banking supervision, as of for BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. Therefore, these non-banking competitors are not subject to the same specific solvency or liquidity requirements as banks.

As a result of Peru’s better economic growth, some international banks and microfinance institutions have sought and obtained authorization to open representative offices in Peru. With the increased competition, more individuals will have access to credit, and the percentage of the population using banking services will likely climb. This also will eventually put downward pressure on interest rates. Any negative impact on BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco as a result of increased competition could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For further detail about the competitive market in our LoB’s, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B. Business Overview – (5) Competition”.

Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control.

A more recent event that implies risks for the Peruvian economy and our result of operations is the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, on December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern and on March 11, 2020, declared the pandemic outbreak. Due to the nature of the outbreak, strong measures to mitigate the COVID-19 contagion were taken by governments all around the world, which included closed international borders, severe mobility restrictions (quarantines) and forced economic shutdowns. As a result, global GDP contracted severely in 2020 (lowest since the Great Depression of 1929), which affected Peru’s main trade partners. Moreover, Peru’s exports prices were also affected due to lower global demand.

As a result of COVID-19, the economies in which Credicorp operates (mainly Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile and Panama) were severely disrupted by two factors: (i) the effect on the global economy (lower economic growth of our main trade partners like China and the U.S.) , as well as lower commodity prices and (ii) the local effect of government measures to stop the COVID-19 outbreak such as quarantines, economic shutdowns, greater fiscal expenditure, higher public debt, and expansionary monetary policy. This pandemic circle that forced lockdowns in the economy with the fall of GDP during 2020, and the increase of public debt to afford COVID-19 programs resulted in a higher Debt-to-GDP rate for almost all countries, that together with the higher fiscal deficit and a very expansionary monetary policy worldwide have resulted in a high inflation not seen since the 80’s all across the world.

These factors significantly impacted macroeconomic variables in the countries where we operate, which might adversely affect our results. As a consequence, some of the main economic indicators affected include exchange rates, interest rates, credit spreads, commodity prices, GDP and sovereign government debt.

After the economy fell 11% in 2020, the economy rebounded 13.3% in 2021. In addition to the reopening of the economy and the progress in the vaccinations process, also contributed to the rebound a high copper price of US$4.23 in 2021, which implied an increase of 51% compared to the average price of 2020; as well as expansionary monetary and fiscal policies.

In 2021, inflation has become a worldwide issue. The annual inflation rate in Peru closed 2021 at 6.4% year-over-year (YoY), the highest increase in 13 years, and exceeded the upper limit of the BCRP’s target range (1%-3%). The acceleration of inflation was mainly explained by food and energy in response to factors such as higher international prices for oil and agricultural products, as well as the 11% depreciation in 2021.

In a context of high inflation, central banks, with the aim of anchoring inflation expectations, have in some cases aggressively increased their reference rates. In 2022, rates increased by 300 bps in Chile, 200 bps in Colombia and 200 bps in Peru. In Peru, the Central Bank raised the reference rate to 4.50% in April 2022, the highest since October 2017 (+425 bps since the upward cycle began in August 21).

Furthermore, any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Government measures are constantly evolving, and future measures are uncertain and hardly predictable. Any decision by the government, such as changes to the monetary, trade and fiscal policies, among other measures, are also expected to affect our results of operations.

For further detail, see “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment”

Likewise, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the credit risk of Credicorp’s investment portfolio and wholesale loan portfolio, including reduced business volumes, temporary closures, and insufficient liquidity, which may have a higher impact on clients engaging in certain economic activities. Our business and results of operations were less affected during 2021 than in 2020 given that many businesses reopened, despite the second wave of COVID-19.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the credit risk of some sectors of the portfolio, such as tourism, restaurants, and real estate, among others. Likewise, in 2021 the Peruvian State provided the facility to reschedule with an additional year of grace period the debt of the Peru Reactive Program to customers who showed a greater drop in sales at the end of 2020, in order to support them in their economic recovery.

Content

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the credit risk of Credicorp’s retail and microfinance loan portfolio, due to its effect in small and medium enterprise (SME) and individual clients. SME clients may be adversely impacted in case mobility restrictions or lockdown periods be imposed to mitigate potential new waves and/or significant variants of the virus, resulting inability to perform operations and generate cash flows. SMEs may also face a period of reduced level of operations because of the restrictions that may be imposed on the reopening of different economic sectors, restrictions such as restricted opening hours or reduced capacity. Individuals may be adversely impacted by an increase of the unemployment rate and the reduction of business operations. In this scenario, Credicorp expects an adverse effect on the credit quality of its loan portfolio and an increase of the cost of risk.

Consequently, the emergence of futures waves of COVID-19 cases could have a negative impact on our financial results. Considering these potential effects, BCP Stand-alone has segmented its Retail Banking Group (RBG) portfolio into risk levels based on credit scores and ratings, both of which adjusted to recognize the potential exposure to COVID-19 in their modeling, aiming to achieve a more accurate assessment and management of risk. Following this segmentation, the High Risk Viable and High Risk Not Viable segments would be the most vulnerable to the economic conditions previously described. The High-Risk Viable segment consists of customers with a probability of default greater than 20% in SMEs, greater than 32% in Individuals and internal rating worse than CC (rating with probability of default greater than 13%), in Medium-size companies. The High Risk Not Viable segment mainly consists of customers in default, for whom recoverability would be adversely impacted.

Additionally, our insurance business may be impacted negatively given the possible increase in the level of claims, mainly in the life and health segment.

Regarding our pension fund business, possible government measures or pension reforms may lead to higher demand for early redemptions from clients, which could impact our revenues through a reduction in the management fees.

Prolonged economic stress and market disruptions may generate pressure on our liquidity management and increased volatility in financial markets, such as disruption in fixed and equity income global markets (resulting in the fall of stock prices, including the price of Credicorp). Moreover, the increase in liquidity risk may result in limited and/or costly access to financing sources, inability to access capital markets, an increase in draws of outstanding credit lines and a change in the expected level of cash inflow as consequence of large-scale loan reprogramming.

In terms of non-financial risks, given the high rate of contagion of the disease, a significant number of our employees may acquire the virus, which may affect our ability to continue operating. Additionally, due to prolonged lockdowns, some of our critical suppliers may stop providing us with certain key services for business continuity. Finally, since we have adopted a remote work approach, we may be exposed to a greater risk of cybersecurity threats because many of our employees now connect to the Group’s systems from outside our controlled technological environments, as well as increased periods of service unavailability and network congestions.

The full extent of the effect on Credicorp’s operating and financial results is still difficult to predict due to the uncertainty about the duration and concentration of the outbreak, but the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other health crisis beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For further detail, see “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment – COVID-19 Measures.”

Our financial statements, particularly our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, could be exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and exchange controls, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Since January 1, 2014, the functional currency of our financial statements has been the Sol; however, Group’s subsidiaries generate revenues in Soles, US Dollars, Bolivian Bolivianos, Colombian Pesos, and Chilean Pesos. As a consequence, the fluctuation of our functional currency against other currencies, or any exchange controls implemented in the countries in which we operate, could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Except in specific circumstances, the Peruvian government generally does not impose restrictions on companies’ ability to transfer Soles, US Dollars, or other currencies from Peru to other countries, to convert Peruvian currency into other currencies. Nevertheless, Peru has implemented restrictive exchange controls in its history, and the Peruvian government might, in the future, consider it necessary to implement restrictions on such transfers, payments or conversions. For further information, see “ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – 10.D Exchange Controls”.

The interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, and the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, could be affected by changes in domestic and international market interest rates, which are sensitive to many factors beyond our control, including monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political conditions.

We have implemented several policies to manage the interest rate risk exposure and seek proactively to update the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues; however, a sudden and/or significant volatility in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see “ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT – (12) Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates.”

Content

We also face foreign exchange risk on credit that we extend through our banking business, which is primarily conducted through BCP Stand-alone. To address this risk, BCP Stand-alone identifies borrowers that may not meet their debt obligations due to currency mismatches, by performing a sensitivity analysis of the credit rating of companies and the debt-service capacity of individuals. Then, we classify borrowers according to their level of foreign exchange credit risk exposure. We monitor these clients, and, on an ongoing basis, we revise our risk policies for underwriting loans and managing our portfolio of foreign currency denominated loans. However, these policies may not sufficiently address our foreign exchange risk, resulting in adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have taken steps to manage the gap between our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities in several ways, including closely matching their volumes and maturities. Nevertheless, a sudden and significant depreciation of the Sol could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see “ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT – (13) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk”.

Our trading activities expose us to volatility in market prices, declines in market liquidity or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which may result in losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The securities and derivative financial instruments in our trading portfolio may cause us to record gains or losses, when sold or marked to market, and may fluctuate considerably from period to period due to numerous factors that are beyond our control, including foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate levels, the credit risk of our counterparties and general market volatility. These losses from trading activities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As risk is inherent in the Group’s trading activities, we have implemented a risk management process of ongoing identification, measurement, and monitoring, subject to risk limits and other controls. This process is critical to the Group’s continuing profitability.

Business Performance Risks

A deterioration in the quality of our loan portfolio may adversely affect our results of operations.

Given that a significant percentage of our income is related to lending activities, a significant deterioration of loan quality would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We are subject to concentration default risks in our loan portfolio. Problems with one or more of our largest borrowers may adversely affect 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, our pursuit of opportunities in which we can charge higher interest rates, and thereby increase revenue may have an impact in the profile of loan portfolio and exposure at risk.

Content

In addition, loan concentration in commercial sectors is particularly salient in Peru and significant deterioration in such sectors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For additional detail on the composition of our loan portfolio see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (7) Selected Statistical Information – 7.3 Loan portfolio and – 7.3.3 Concentrations of loan portfolio and lending limits”. Our current strategy includes increasing our exposure to market segments with heightened credit risk, including middle-market and consumer segments, such as unsecured small companies and consumer loans and consumer mortgages, which have higher risk profiles as compared to loans to large corporate customers. Given the changing composition of our loan portfolio and the possible adverse changes in the environment in which we operate, our future results may differ significantly from our past results.

Finally, the Group relies heavily in the use of models all throughout the credit management process (prospection, underwriting, monitoring, and collection). This requires a comprehensive governance framework seeking excellent standards in the quality and stability of these models. Those standards mitigate the impact that severe or unexpected changes in the macro and micro economic environment could have in the risk quality of our portfolio, especially in the consumer and SME segments.

Accurate underwriting and setting of premiums are important risk management tools for primary insurance companies, including Grupo Pacifico. But we face the risks that the estimates underlying our underwriting and premiums may be inaccurate.

Grupo Pacifico’s operating performance and financial condition depend on its ability to underwrite and set premium rates accurately across a full spectrum of risks. In order to be profitable, Grupo Pacifico must generate sufficient premiums to offset losses, loss adjustment expenses and underwriting expenses.

To price premium rates accurately, Grupo Pacifico must:

•

Collect and analyze a substantial volume of data;

•

Provide sufficient resources to its technical units;

•

Develop, test, and apply appropriate rating formula;

•

Closely monitor changes in trends in a timely fashion; and

•

Predict both severity and frequency with reasonable accuracy.

If Grupo Pacifico fails to assess the risks that it assumes accurately or does not accurately estimate its retention, it may fail to establish adequate premium rates. Failure to establish adequate premium rates could reduce income and have a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial condition. Moreover, there is inherent uncertainty in the process of establishing life insurance reserves and P&C loss reserves. Reserves are estimates based on actuarial and statistical projections at a given point in time of what Grupo Pacifico ultimately expects to pay out on claims and the related costs of adjusting those claims, based on the facts and circumstances then known. Factors affecting these projections include, among others: (i) in the case of life insurance reserves, changes in mortality /longevity rates, interest rates, persistency rates and regulation; and (ii) in the case of P&C loss reserves, morbility, changes in medical costs, repair costs and regulation. Any negative effect on Grupo Pacifico could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Content

Reinsurance is an important tool in risk management of any primary insurance company and as such, it allows achieving a level of risk diversification that in turns helps to reduce losses. But we face the possibility that the reinsurance companies will be unable to honor their contractual obligations.

Credicorp assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for our insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, considering the product classification of the reinsured business.

While Credicorp’s internal requirements in regard to reinsurer counterparty credit risk are higher than local regulatory requirements, as set by Grupo Pacifico’s risk management unit and approved by the Risk Committee, a failure by one or more of our counter-party reinsurance companies to honor their contractual obligations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks not contemplated in our insurance policies may affect our results of operations.

We maintain insurance in amounts that we believe to be adequate to cover risks related to our operations, including, among others, internal and external fraud, computer crime, professional liability for services we provide, Directors and officers liability and general liability against general claims involving bodily injuries and property damage. However, it is possible that the terms and conditions of the insurance policies we have will not cover a specific event or incident, or that our insurance will cover only part of the losses that we may incur. The insurance policies of Credicorp and its subsidiaries are contracted with Grupo Pacifico. Grupo Pacifico reinsures the policies in the cases it deems pertinent due to the materiality of the risk.

The adoption of the IFRS 17 norm may impact our results of operations.

IFRS 17 will imply fundamental changes in the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of information on insurance and reinsurance contracts, as well as in their related processes. Insurance contracts combine financial and service characteristics and, in many cases, generate long-term variable cash flows. To properly reflect these characteristics, IFRS 17 combines the measurement of future cash flows with the results of the insurance contract during the period in which the service is provided and requires the presentation of the financial results of the provisions for the service. This allows Companies, through the choice of an accounting policy option, to recognize such financial results in the income statement or in other financial results. IFRS 17 norms will be effective as of January 1, 2023.

Content

Under strict governance and participation of the units involved in the processes involved, the Group has been making adjustments to its processes, architecture, controls and corporate governance in order to implement the standard, as well as to have the necessary financial and management reports.

In this process, the Group made the decision to use the computer platform of Fidelity National Information Services – FIS, a provider specialized in insurance business worldwide, and has been supported in its implementation by firms such as Deloitte and Management Solutions, both based in Spain. The implementation includes extensive tests performed regarding the accounting of insurance contracts under IFRS 17. In parallel, the progress of the work has been presented to external auditors.

IFRS 17 is expected to have the following impacts depending on the type of risk in which the Group operates:

•

P&C businesses Risks: The Group expects a reduction in insurance liabilities due to reserves discount, which is expected to be low given the current interest rate environment as well as the nature of this risk in terms of the reserve duration.

•

Life businesses Risks: The Group considers that there will be an increase in insurance liabilities related to the interest rates effect and to the constitution of an explicit future profit margin known as the contractual service margin. The variation in reserves, as a result of discounting liabilities for reserves, will result in a decrease in equity.

At this time, the execution of the implementation schedule is within the established deadlines and the estimated effects on equity, attributable to higher liabilities for reserves requirements, is expected to be assessed by the third quarter of 2022. Management constantly evaluates the impacts on the presentation and disclosure in the Group’s Financial Statements related to insurance operations and considers that the recording of the effect of the implementation of the standard will not have a material impact on the Group’s regulatory capital needs.

Acquisitions and strategic partnerships may not perform as expected, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Acquisitions and strategic partnerships, including those made in our investment banking and wealth management; insurance; and microfinance businesses, may not perform as expected since our assessment could be based on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that may subsequently prove to be incorrect. Future acquisitions, investments and alliances may not produce the anticipated synergies or perform in accordance with our expectations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

For example, in 2020, the Group recorded a gross impairment loss totaling S/64.0 million equivalent to US$17.7 million and 68,134 miilon Colombian Pesos (COP) for its investment in Mibanco Colombia (formerly Bancompartir) as a result of its assessment of the recoverable amount. In this assessment, the fair value of Mibanco Colombia was estimated to be 366,691 million COP, equivalent to US$95.7 million and S/346.5 miilon, in comparison to its book value of 434,825 milion COP, equivalent to US$113.4 million and S/410.6 million. During 2021, the group has not recorded a gross impairment loss. For further detail, please see Note 11(b) (Intangible Assets and Goodwill) to the consolidated financial statements.

Credicorp’s increasing investments in digital transformation and disruptive initiatives may fail to achieve the ambitions, efficiencies and other performance improvements that it is pursuing.

As part of its transformation strategy, Credicorp is increasing investments in developing capabilities such as, IT, data analytics or cybersecurity. The Company is attracting digital talent, evolving its agile culture to maximize client’s experience, and strengthening its self-disruptive mindset. Moreover, Credicorp is increasing its investments in innovation and disruptive initiatives. The Company may fail to achieve ambitions related to acquisition of clients, income generation, efficiency and other performance improvements described in “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (1) Credicorp Overview”.

Credicorp continues to invest in its technology and digital capabilities across its franchises, including digital platforms and cloud-based solutions. Credicorp has also been pursuing productivity and operational performance improvements through evolving its diverse business models. For example, in microfinance, Mibanco has leveraged data and analytics to develop centralized credit assessment capabilities and generate loan offers to current clients; and has leveraged alternative channels to increase loan disbursements. In addition, Credicorp has been making other investments in new ventures within its LoBs such as Yape, and through its corporate venture capital center Krealo, which is investing in startup fintech such as Tenpo, Tyba, Culqi and Wally.

Failure to properly invest in Credicorp’s digital and innovation strategy could result in an inability to be sufficiently competitive or provide superior customer experience. There is no guarantee that these or other initiatives at Credicorp will achieve the ambitions, efficiencies, profitability or other performance improvements that the Company is pursuing or have any benefits at all.

Furthermore, Credicorp´s digital investments involve execution complexity, and could result in additional losses, charges or other negative financial impacts. For example, Credicorp may not be able to achieve its objectives related to monetization of disruptive initiatives.

Content

Credicorp’s digital investment and other initiatives may continue to evolve as its business strategies, the market environment and regulatory expectations change, which could make the initiatives more costly and more challenging to implement and limit their effectiveness. Moreover, Credicorp’s ability to achieve expected returns on its investments and costs savings depends partially on factors that it cannot control, including, among others, interest rates; inflation; impacts related to the pandemic; customer, client and competitor actions; and ongoing regulatory changes.

Our ability to pay dividends to shareholders and to pay corporate expenses may be adversely affected by the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.

As a holding company, our ability to make dividend payments, if any, and to pay corporate expenses will depend upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiaries. Our principal operating subsidiaries are BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, Grupo Pacifico, ASB Bank Corp, Prima AFP and Credicorp Capital. Subject to certain minimum liquidity, reserve, and capital adequacy requirements under applicable regulations, we are able to cause our subsidiaries to declare dividends. If our subsidiaries do not have funds available, or are otherwise restricted from paying us dividends, we may be limited in our ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Currently, apart from the minimum capital requirements, there are no restrictions on the ability of BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, Grupo Pacifico, ASB Bank Corp., Prima AFP or Credicorp Capital to pay dividends abroad. In addition, our right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary, upon any subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization (and thus the ability of holders of our securities to benefit indirectly from such distribution), is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except where we are considered an unsubordinated creditor of the subsidiary. Accordingly, our securities will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and holders of our securities should look only to our assets for payments. Further, to mitigate the financial effects of the COVID-19 outbreak and ensure a strong capital base, Credicorp may reduce the dividends declared by its subsidiaries, which may affect Credicorp’s ability to declare dividends to its shareholders.

Since our main Peruvian subsidiaries pay dividends considering the accumulated results shown in the financial statements prepared under GAAP in Peru applicable to financial entities, it is necessary to consider that there could be differences between Peruvian GAAP and IFRS. The main difference between these is concentrated in the application of IFRS 9, for both the methodology used to determine the provision for credit losses in loan portfolio and for the determination of financial income for loans. For 2021, the application of IFRS9 resulted in provision reversal for credit losses in the loan portfolio being S/644.8 million and a net higher interest income of S/144.7 million. The effects of these differences, net of income tax, resulted in net profit being S/556.4 million higher under IFRS than under Peruvian GAAP.

Finally, the value of any dividend paid by our operating subsidiaries that declare dividends in a currency different from Credicorp’s dividends (such as ASB Bank Corp., BCP Bolivia, Credicorp Capital Holding Chile, and Credicorp Capital Holding Colombia) is subject to the impact of the depreciation of the dividend’s currency against Credicorp’s functional currency. This would have a negative impact on our ability to pay dividends to shareholders. For further details about Credicorp’s Dividend Policy refer to “ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION – 8.A Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information – (3) Dividend Policy”.

Operational Risks

A failure in, or breach of, our operational or security systems, fraud by employees or outsiders, other operational errors, and the failure of our system of internal controls to discover and rectify such matters could temporarily interrupt our businesses, increasing our costs and causing losses.

Like most companies, we are increasingly dependent on information technology (IT) systems, particularly due to our remote work policy. The use of IT brings risks such as availability & continuity risk, change risk, data integrity risk, outsourcing risk, and cybersecurity risk. These risks can be triggered by people, technology, or process failures or by malicious internal or external actors. While we constantly strive to provide more and better functionality to our customers by expanding our mobile and internet-based products and services, at the same time we increase our footprint and visibility, and thus our exposure to these risks.

Ensuring the availability and continuity of our systems becomes a challenge due to the complexity and variety of services offered; the risk of change is added to this, and despite the controls and contingency plans that we have in place, an error in the process or incident in our infrastructure would directly affect our systems. We have third-party services that also store, transmit and process our confidential information and that of our clients, which constitutes the outsourcing risk. In addition, we have seen an increase in recent years of cyberattacks not only against financial institutions but also their providers worldwide and these cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated; using new techniques and tools; and exploiting unidentified vulnerabilities.

To face these risks, we implement security technologies and improvements in the monitoring and control processes to protect the integrity and confidentiality of our data, as well as the strengthening incident response management and our cybersecurity awareness program. However, we cannot assure that our system of internal controls will be entirely effective. These cyberattacks could cause a significant loss of customer data or confidential information, in addition to large costs to resolve the incident, loss of revenue, loss of customers, legal risks which would directly affect our business and operation.

Our anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures might not prevent third parties from using us as a conduit for such activities and could damage our reputation or expose us to fines, sanctions or legal enforcement, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

Content

As financial institutions, our subsidiaries are subject to comply with significant anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing laws, regulations, as well as the international standards and recommendations such as the ones provided by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and from local directives. Aligned with these principles, our group has developed a comprehensive risk-based approach strategy to implement an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CTF) Program, preventing third parties from channeling illicit funds through Credicorp. Nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic and new digital businesses has forced financial institutions and regulators across the globe to rethink operations and adapt to an entirely new environment.

Key regulators have encouraged financial institutions to be flexible with certain aspects of their AML/CTF requirements, such as client onboarding and customer due diligence, but at the same time, they are requiring financial institutions to maintain control and compliance. At Credicorp, our financial institutions have continued to face many of the pre-COVID AML/CTF risks such as fines, commercial sanctions, or legal enforcement. Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, these risks may be experienced under more complex circumstances, as well as an increase in fraudulent activities. To address confinement and social distancing measures introduced to contain COVID-19, we have adapted our compliance AML/CTF program and processes to a work-from-home setting and shifted entire operations to online platforms and digital channels without reducing the enforcement of our procedures for investigations, onboarding, and customer identification.

In Peru, the SBS published the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Financing of Terrorism (AML/AFT) Risk Management Regulation in 2015 (SBS Resolution No. 2660-2015 and subsequent amendments); which includes provisions that extend the duties and functions of the Compliance Officer, make clear the obligation of companies to carry out customer classification under strict terms, establish enhanced due diligence for high risk customers and set out the guidelines for transferring funds, as well as many other specific details for daily transactions. These guidelines result in higher operational costs, due to the significant investment in technology required to keep up with the strict terms of the regulation.

Environmental, Social and Governance Risks

Natural disasters in Peru could disrupt our businesses and affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We are exposed to natural disasters in Peru, such as earthquakes, floods, and mudslides. Earthquakes in Peru are common occurrences as the country is located in a seismic zone: the interface between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. Peru has been adversely affected by earthquakes in the past, including a 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the central coast of Peru in 2007. The country is also vulnerable to the El Niño Phenomenon (El Niño), an oceanic and atmospheric phenomenon that causes a warming of temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which provokes heavy rains off the coast of Peru that may result in floods and mudslides in the north and central Andean regions. Due to its very strong intensity, the 1997-1998 El Niño destroyed crops and infrastructure equivalent to 2.2% of Peru’s GDP. In early 2017, El Niño adversely affected agricultural production, transportation services, tourism, and commercial activity, caused widespread damage to infrastructure and displaced people, resulted in a deceleration of growth from 4.0% in 2016 to 2.5% in 2017. According to Peru’s fiscal council, El Niño caused US$6.2 billion in damages (equivalent to 2.9% of Peru’s GDP) in affected regions in the first half of 2017 through damages to bridges, roadways, housing, and educations services, among others. This weather phenomenon will continue to negatively affect Peru’s GDP from time to time and may affect the financial situation of some of Credicorp’s clients and the quality of our loan portfolio.

Content

Similar natural disasters, or other types of disaster, could impair our operational capacity. Our business continuity plans include emergency response, disaster recovery, operations continuity, crisis management, data protection and recovery, and critical systems redundancy. Although we test our business continuity plans annually, these plans may prove to be ineffective which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our businesses, especially if an incidence or disaster affects computer-based data systems or damages customer or other data. In addition, if a significant number of our employees were affected by the natural disaster, our ability to conduct business could be impaired.

Our subsidiary Grupo Pacifico is further exposed to risks associated with natural disasters due to the policies that it underwrites. To protect Grupo Pacifico’s solvency and liquidity, our insurance business historically has obtained reinsurance contracts for a substantial portion of its earthquake-related risks through automatic quota share and excess of loss; however, there can be no assurance that a major catastrophe would not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition or that our reinsurance policies will be an effective hedge against our exposure to risks resulting from natural disasters.

We may incur financial losses and damages to our reputation from environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks. In recent years, these risks have been recognized as increasingly relevant since they can affect the creation of long-term value for stakeholders of the Company.

Environmental issues may affect our businesses, mainly our banking and asset management business, as the relation with some of our clients may be damaged if the Company is perceived as not being environmentally responsible. Also, we may suffer from reputational risk if the projects or companies we finance, or invest into, cause environmental damage. Additionally, we are exposed to the physical risks of climate change, which can generate adverse climate effects such as, for example, a more frequent or a more intense El Niño Phenomenon as described in more detail in “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Natural disasters in Peru could disrupt our businesses and affect our results of operations and financial condition”.

Social issues related to managing employee, customers and/or communities’ relationships may affect our business mainly through talent and or capabilities deficit, high training costs, compliance failures, operational inefficiencies, and reputational risks. Corporate governance issues may affect our business mainly through reputational risk, if we are perceived by stakeholders as a company that has any controversy related to transparency, Board structure and remuneration or stakeholder governance.

Sustainability Strategy

Governance

For Credicorp, integrating sustainability in our day-to-day management of our businesses is vital to ensuring effective implementation of Credicorp’s corporate sustainability strategy. The sustainability governance structure’s objective is to increase the visibility of sustainability within the organization and establish clear responsibilities for the strategy and its successful execution at the Credicorp and subsidiary levels.

We opted to add a series of roles to the existing governance structures to drive implementation and align actions at the subsidiary level with the sustainability strategy developed at the corporate parent level. Involving the Board and the leaders of the organization in this process has been key to its success.

Governance Structure

Our ESG Approach

To further strengthen our long-term performance and competitiveness in the markets in which we operate, we developed a program to integrate sustainability more deeply within our business strategy and activities. The result is our 2020-2025 Commitment to Sustainability Program (the Sustainability Program) summarized below.

Each of the main subsidiaries of Credicorp will play a vital role in the Sustainability Program. By executing on tangible and feasible business opportunities that aim to improve both business performance and positive ESG impact, we aim to create long-term value for both Credicorp and its stakeholders. The Sustainability Program defines three pillars, that will guide Credicorp’s sustainability ambitions for 2020-2025:

(i)

Create a more sustainable and inclusive economy:

At Credicorp, we are conscious that we are a significant player in and have notable shares of the markets in which we operate and, accordingly, must assume a proportionate role in promoting a more sustainable and inclusive economy. For this reason, our main ambitions include diverse efforts to drive the financial inclusion of people, as well as micro and small businesses. On this front, Mibanco has played a particularly important role given its historic commitment to the financial inclusion of SMEs (small and medium enterprise), which contributes to the transition to a more formal economy. The efforts directed at supporting growth in this segment, which is the engine of our economy, coupled with initiatives to close gender gaps (for example, through Mibanco’s Crédito Mujer product), will help Credicorp generate positive impacts in our society. Our financing programs complement our innovative initiatives for financial inclusion, such as our Yape mobile application, which has become one of Peru’s primary conduits for low-value payments and transfers and has greatly accelerated Credicorp’s efforts in financial inclusion.

To guide our efforts to create a more sustainable economy, we have focused on systematizing our approach and rolled out policies to guide our sustainability journey. In 2021, we published our environmental policy and we seek to continue publishing relevant information about our sustainability. The purpose of both documents is to provide guidelines to implement and manage our environmental and sustainability approaches respectively. Additionally, we set an aspiration to hone our management of environmental risks and have taken initial steps in this regard, taking into consideration international best practices. To complement these endeavors, we developed the first version of our ESG taxonomy for the environmental front. Additionally, we strengthened our credit policy to ensure better alignment with environmental considerations and demonstrate a greater commitment to continuously improving our risk management.

Content

(ii)

Improve the financial health of citizens:

We believe that we bear significant responsibility for improving the financial health of individuals, increasing their economic resilience, and improving their relations with the financial system, in the countries where we operate. When people are financially healthy, they are in a better position to take advantage of opportunities to achieve personal and professional objectives.

In 2021, Credicorp and its companies continued to support and lead multiple initiatives for financial education, which included programs for the general public, such as ABC at BCP, ABC del Seguro at Pacifico, the web series El Depa (pension education program from Prima AFP) and 5to piso (financial education product from BCP), and targeted programs, such as Munay Voluntariado from Mibanco, which provides personalized advice to entrepreneurs. These programs benefitted millions of people and demonstrated Credicorp’s commitment to helping people bolster their financial knowledge as well as financial and digital skills. We are certain that these efforts will allow people to take advantage of opportunities that may lead them to a lifetime of financial health and prosperity, which should also help mitigate the financial impacts of unforeseen events on their financial health.

As we develop our sustainability initiatives, we seek to build long-term relations with our clients based on trust. We do so by invoking high levels of transparency and continuously simplifying designs for communication, products, and processes.

Finally, to anticipate the needs of our clients, in 2021, we redesigned our disruptive innovation model. We have revamped our innovation governance to strengthen the Group’s capacity to incubate businesses that are close to our core in the Innovation Centers of each of our business lines as we seek to innovate through our Corporate Venture Capital, which we call Krealo. We have directed a large number of resources to these fronts and will report our advances down the line.

(iii)

Empower our people to thrive:

As a Group, we seek to empower people both in and outside the organization so that they can thrive. We promote a diverse and inclusive workforce with equal opportunities to strengthen creativity and innovation; ensure long-term prosperity; and boost our employees’ motivation. For this purpose, we continue to implement our Gender Equality Program, which promotes equitable treatment at every level of the organization. This year, we conducted a number of initiatives to improve the gender balance in leadership positions by ensuring that the final rounds of interviews respect a gender balance; establishing internal targets and aspirations for gender balance in mid-level management; and conducting training of the Human Management and Development teams to prepare them to conduct interviews free of gender and other biases. Additionally, we worked to update our corporate governance policy to include a gender focus in the diversity guidelines that govern the composition of the board and its committees.

Content

Together with our efforts to achieve equality at our companies through equitable treatment, we have implemented initiatives to promote the development of our human capital. In a constantly changing environment, our workforce will require critical abilities in the area of digital knowledge; data management; and agility. For this reason, the corporate office of Human Management and Development is strengthening programs to bolster these capacities and is working to ensure that the roll out is structured, phased, and organized in every company in the Group. Additionally, a hybrid work model was launched to improve our employees’ experiences (based on the nature of the position held). This model’s flexibility allows us to capture and retain talent as we gain organizational efficiencies.

At Credicorp, we are conscious of the fact that our sustainability strategy has multiple fronts and, to heighten its effectiveness, many actors influence its development and implementation. To ensure that the impacts we generate with our initiatives can be multiplied to benefit more people, we have identified spaces to cultivate alliances. An example of this kind of effort is Yape’s participation in the distribution of government relief payments in the context of the pandemic. Through this collaborative effort, Yape, along with other mobile wallets, ensured that vulnerable Peruvians received much needed support in an agile, rapid, and cashless manner.

The three pillars described above are aligned with our core business operations and with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), specifically with the following SDGs:

SDG 5 – Gender Equality: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Work: Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all

SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation

SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities: Reduce inequality within and among countries

SDG 13 – Climate Action: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Content

SDG 16 – Peace and Justice Strong Institutions: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels

SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

To achieve our vision of sustainability, we have identified the business initiatives that we must pursue based on their relevance to the market and to the products and services that improve our competitiveness. These efforts ensure that sustainability is at the core of our business model. We have also determined which internal changes must be made to our operating model so that it provides an adequate launchpad for initiatives and catalyzes our impact. The business initiatives are concentrated in Platforms while internal changes are situated in Enablers.

In 2021, we rolled out 7 of our 8 platforms, which are comprised of 40 initiatives or business opportunities that have been identified by the Group’s different companies and at the corporate level. Each of these platforms is equipped with a forum for discussion and coordination, which generates visibility and alignment and provides a platform to share good practices and develop synergies. These platforms have been designed to generate positive impacts among interest groups while they generate value for the business. Additionally, each of our companies contribute to the development of these platforms by sharing its experience and specialized business knowledge.

Through our Sustainability Program, we will continue to identify business opportunities, but success will ultimately depend on the internal measures the Group and its subsidiaries take to advance implementation of the program to achieve key sustainability results. We are laying the groundwork to change the way we measure the success of our operations by adding new metrics that go beyond traditional indicators of financial performance.

As we move forward, our focus will be on improving our disclosure to provide our stakeholders with up-to-date information on our sustainability efforts and policies. We will also focus on incorporating international best practices in our sustainability reporting standards and to our new holistic performance measurement framework.

Our Digital Strategy

Our digital strategy is fundamental to our goal of successfully executing our purpose, leaving our values and advancing towards the future guided by our north stars. With an overarching group strategy, we are deepening our digital and transformation processes to capture opportunities efficiently while expanding our total addressable market and strengthening our operational drivers.

Our transformation journey began in 2015, when BCP Stand-alone decided to raise the bar in customer satisfaction while pursing greater efficiency. Later, this path was followed by Grupo Pacifico, Mibanco, Prima AFP and Credicorp Capital, where, as of 2021, each of our LoBs have created an independent Innovation Lab, and more importantly have embarked in a cultural and digital transformation.

Throughout all these years we have been innovating by constantly challenging, transforming and disrupting ourselves in order to anticipate and adapt to the increasingly fast changing megatrends that could impact our customers, capture digital opportunities and generate long-term profitability. This has been achieved by the digital capabilities we have been developing such as:

a) Having a self-disruptive mindset,

b) Strengthening an agile and user experience culture,

c) Capturing digital talent, and;

d) Developing solid tech capabilities.

And by leveraging our competitive strengths:

a) Diversified and independent LoBs,

b) Strong brand & extensive network of long-term client relationships,

c) Sound management with resilient track record, and;

d) Solid balance sheet and risk discipline.

Despite the significant milestones achieved throughout the years, going forward we´re accelerating our transformation process while putting in place a new governance structure that will focus on capturing synergies & leveraging cross-fertilization opportunities across our businesses, while at the same time, we maintain the independence and disruptive initiatives of our different LoBs and develop new initiatives. This new governance will also ensure financial and operational discipline, at a time when our appetite for this kind of investment has increased.

Content

In order to enhance our disruptive and entrepreneurial culture, while adding an extra layer of support to innovation, we’ve created two new governance bodies at the Credicorp level, the Innovation Committee and the BAP Innovation Table, both of which are led by the Chief Innovation Officer (CINO), in order to optimize the return on our innovation investment portfolio.

The Innovation Committee will be comprised by C-level voting members, other senior members of the LoBs, and potentially, external advisors. The committee will delineate and propose the innovation strategy, composed by the ambition, the domains in which we want to operate and the fund sourcing and allocation for the Board’s approval. This Committee will also determine and monitor key progress and success metrics at aggregate domain and group levels, to take portfolio decisions in order to quickly respond to changes in market and technology trends.

The Innovation Table will serve as a space for sharing ideas and identifying opportunities for synergies and cross-fertilization between our LoBs. From the lessons learned by our Innovation Labs, we will distribute the best ideas, methods, and technologies to implement them across our LoBs.

Corporate Venture Capital – Krealo

We developed Krealo, our open innovation arm, into our Corporate Venture Capital arm, which will focus on external innovation to invest in opportunities that complement current and future LoBs, seeking to create both financial and strategic value for Credicorp and the ventures, bringing innovation from the outside-in. Krealo functions independently to other LoBs, with a similar flexibility to venture capital funds, coupled with the control, network and scalability of Credicorp.

As part of our innovation efforts at the holding level, in 2018, Credicorp set up Krealo, an initiative that has evolved from our open innovation arm to Credicorp’s Corporate Venture Capital, bringing innovation from the outside-in.

Krealo’s purpose is to identify, screen, and invest in opportunities that complement current and future Credicorp’s LoBs by building and/or acquiring new features. Krealo currently manages four ventures across Peru, Chile, and Colombia including: Tenpo SpA (Tenpo), a neobank, or online bank, in Chile; Credicorp Capital Negocios Digitales S.A.S. (Tyba), an online digital broker in Colombia, Chile, and Peru; Compañia Incubadora de Soluciones Moviles S.A. (Culqi), an offline and online payments company in Peru; and Wally POS S.A.C. (Wally), a POS SAAS business also in Peru. Krealo seeks to create both financial and strategic value for (i) Credicorp and (ii) the ventures:

(i)

Regarding Credicorp, Krealo creates strategic value by:

Boosting Credicorp’s current businesses: As an example, in Tyba, through its 100% digital onboarding, it allows its users to invest in funds from less than US$25, therefore expanding the total addressable market in the Wealth Management business of Credicorp.

Content

Creating new businesses for Credicorp: Tenpo, our neobank in Chile, has become Credicorp’s first step into Chilean retail banking through its product offering. With over 950,000 registered clients since July 2019, Tenpo is democratizing financial services in Chile.

(ii)

Regarding the ventures, Krealo creates strategic value by:

Providing independence to the ventures with constant support in areas of expertise including growth, IT, data, cybersecurity, among others.

Acting as a long-term strategic partner, willing to support ventures with capital and expertise throughout their development.

Offering flexible deal structures with the aim of generating financial and strategic value.

Helping ventures grow faster by offering partnerships with LoBs, regulatory and financial expertise, relationships with industry leaders and the financial ecosystem, and the opportunity to leverage in Credicorp’s distribution channel (both by selling their products through Credicorp channels and selling Credicorp products through the ventures channels).

Krealo seeks to become one of the most relevant actors in the Andean Venture Capital ecosystem by continuing to invest in fintech or startups with financial services angles.

In 2022, our strategic focus is to scale our businesses and increase user engagement. We strive to reduce our customer acquisition costs by leveraging organic channels, as well as partnerships with Credicorp’s companies and other market leaders. Furthermore, we are developing more products within our ventures to improve the stickiness of our solutions, generate cross-selling opportunities and keep our customers within our ecosystem with wider options according to their needs.

Risk Rating

In March 2022, S&P Global Ratings confirmed the credit rating of Credicorp Ltd. At ‘BBB’ and the outlook as negative. Also, as a result of the change in rating and outlook for long-term sovereign ratings on Peru, the rating agency has changed the credit rating from ‘BBB+’ to ‘BBB’ and the outlook from negative to stable of 7 Peruvian financial entities, including BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. In April 2022, Fitch Ratings affirmed Credicorp Ltd.’s risk ratings at ‘BBB’ with a stable outlook.

Credicorp’s LoBs’ Contributions

According to IFRS, an operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), who makes decisions about resources allocated for the segment and assesses its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

BCP Stand-alone framework

The framework which guides our path is comprised of key objectives and key results, as well as strategic pillars. The former describes what we want to achieve, while the latter represents how we want to achieve it.

At BCP Stand-alone, we began our transformation process long ago and our digital journey started in 2015. Now, we continue to be focused on our digital transformation, given that it is a fundamental part of our strategy and business development. In 2021, we accelerated our transformation by articulating all our efforts into one comprehensive plan to help us to achieve our goals. We have two key objectives that leads all our business efforts: (i) being number one in customer experience and (ii) having the best efficiency ratio in Latin America.

At BCP Stand-alone, we monitor and manage results and asset allocation by business segments, sub-segments, products, and channels as we seek out opportunities to optimize results. Additionally, we conduct quarterly business reviews, where we monitor more than 400 Objectives Key Results, which are aligned with our 7 strategic pillars, which define how we seek to accomplish our main objectives, to ensure that we are moving in the right direction.

Experience:

•

Deepening our connection to communities: We do business taking into consideration our role in the society and our different stakeholders.

•

The best experience: We offer a WOW experience in each touchpoint with our customers; and aim to provide solutions to their needs; and to support them at critical moments.

Efficiency

•

New sources and optimization of income: We continually develop new products and services to serve our customers and provide financial solutions to more Peruvians. In addition, we focus on optimizing our current revenue streams to their highest potential.

•

The most efficient bank in the region: We optimize our products and processes with an overall portfolio perspective. We incorporate technology and innovation to offer the most cost-efficient option.

The following internal capabilities will help us to achieve these objectives:

•

Data driven organization: We seek to capture and exploit data in the most effective and intelligent manner.

Content

•

Agile and effective operating model: Our operating model allows us to translate our strategy into results in an agile and effective way by prioritizing, allocating resources and managing results.

•

The best team: We are a team with the mindset, capabilities, and culture focus on delivering continuing value to our customers.

Enablers that facilitate the fulfillment of our objectives

Technology, Data and Operations:

During 2021, we have increased the number of functionalities and completely renovated our main mobile apps, both for corporate and retail customers. We have also improved our time-to-market, due to multiple improvements thanks to the adoption of scaled agile methodologies and Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) practices.

We continued transforming our legacy technologies to be more scalable, efficient, and stable to provide API services to most internal consumers. We experienced a major refocus on prioritizing operational stability in order to cope with increased transaction volumes coming from customers operating in our digital channels. We expect operational stability will continue to be a key priority during 2022.

We leverage artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to identify and improve the decision-making process of the different businesses of BCP Stand-alone. Our Center of Excellence in Advanced Analytics has developed over 30 initiatives to improve the customer experience and help to reduce costs with automatization.

The initiatives developed by the data laboratory, which is one of our tribes, study the population (including current customers and non-customers) by using non-traditional data sources, as well as data from our digital channels. The data capture strategies, algorithms and data models support lead generation (for people and enterprises) and updating of customers contact information.

Cybersecurity

We are focusing our efforts on the most effective strategies to reduce our exposure to cybersecurity risk and achieve our objective risk appetite at a significantly lower cost, applying the appropriate level of control to the relevant areas of potential risk. For this reason, we maintain an important investment program, which allows us to have the necessary technologies and processes to keep our operations and assets safe.

We have defined the following cybersecurity priorities for all the Group’s companies:

Cybersecurity governance structure: The structure consists of three lines of defense (IT Security, Cybersecurity and Audit). Additionally, we have implemented corporate cybersecurity policies.

Content

Adoption of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework: we have taken the NIST cybersecurity framework as a base and using the U.S. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, we have performed a self-assessment to determine our risk profile. Based on the results, we are implementing the required controls, as well as a work plan with periodic objectives.

Awareness program: The technology to prevent cyber-attacks is not enough; the weakest point in an organization is, usually, an internal user incorrectly handling digital tools and exposed to possible cyber-attacks. Therefore, since 2018, BCP Stand-alone generated an awareness strategy, defining parameters and best practices to train users to prevent and respond to cyber-attacks.

Cybersecurity indicators: It is necessary to verify whether the controls we implement are effective. For this reason, BCP Stand-alone defined significant cybersecurity indicators (key risk indicators and key performance indicators) for the organization, such as patches deployment, use of the latest antivirus software, and legacy servers.

Third party governance: To ensure that the information we share with our suppliers complies with our standards, we have updated the critical supplier’s evaluation process including a questionnaire with cybersecurity controls. Additionally, within BCP Stand-alone, we have implemented an online monitoring tool for those critical providers that have access to our information.

Implementation of security technologies: Cyber-attacks are increasingly sophisticated, so the threat trend is periodically analyzed to generate a list of minimum technologies necessary to address these risks.

“Tabletop” tests: Due to the increase in cyber-attacks in the world, we decided to carry out “tabletop” tests to determine the level of maturity in responding to cybersecurity incidents.

Agility

In 2021, we finish deploying all the agile units contemplated by BCP Stand-alone’s business agility strategy. Our agile operation encompasses 26 Tribes and 13 Centers of Excellence (CoEs), which is how we refer to our agile organizations dedicated to the creation and evolution of a company’s highly specialized and strategic capabilities.

All tribes and CoEs follow an agile operating model that allows them to plan, prioritize and focus on initiatives that directly contribute to established objectives, providing flexibility and agility to offer value to clients by maximizing productivity.

These agile organizations operate in quarterly cycles. In each quarter they follow a process of planning and value accountability called QBR (Quarterly Business Review) Process. In this process, BCP Stand-alone Tribe Leaders align their objectives with BCP Stand-alone’s strategy and coordinate interdependencies among them. Agility is aimed at generating value by creating multidisciplinary, stable, self-organized and empowered teams. In any case, applying agility may introduce operational risks to BCP Stand-alone, which are mitigated by these agile organizations following all control processes established in BCP Stand-alone (risk control, budget, audit, security, etc.) like any other unit in BCP Stand-alone.

Content

Among BCP Stand-alone’s main agile achievements in 2021 were: 1) the implementation of an agile organization scheme with Tribes an CoEs (as of December 2021 BCP Stand-alone had 29 Tribes and 13 CoEs, compared to none as of December 2017); 2) time-to-market improvement for new products from 6-18 months in 20202 to a maximum time of 3 months in 2021; and 3) the deployment an Agile Academy Program and an Agile Day Event for all employees at Credicorp as part of a cultural educational strategy.

Currently, our main agile focus is to consolidate the agile operating model that we have built, and for this we have 3 ongoing projects: 1) implementing an agile management model, which we believe promotes the alignment, prioritization, and accountability of initiatives, as well as better performance and use of resources towards our objectives as a company; 2) developing high performance agile teams by focusing on initiatives that improve time to market, productivity and quality in our squads, which are our agile, autonomous and multidisciplinary teams that work within the Tribes and CoEs; and 3) strengthening our chapters, which are highly specialized people that compose our CoEs, by raising the quality level of the service they offer to our squads.

We plan to continue our efforts to increase the level of maturity in business agility of our organization.

Where we stand today….

We continue working to progress in our key objectives as well as in key results, in line with our main objectives of providing the best Experience and increase Efficiency.

In terms of customer experience, we identify the customer journeys with the lowest levels of satisfaction, but with the highest value for our customers, and focus our efforts on improving those journeys. We are constantly working to improve operational stability and the service provided through our different channels to continue improving our customer satisfaction, given that it is one of our main strategic priorities.

We also believe that sustained increases in digital sales, accelerated adoption of digital service and increase in IT resources will impact positively in the medium term on our efficiency ratio. See “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (6) Lines of Business (LoBs) – 6.1 Universal Banking – 6.1.1 BCP Stand-alone – Financial Ratios” for analysis of recent trends in BCP Stand-alone’s efficiency ratio.

Content

We continue to make progress in digitizing our customers by launching new functions and products in our mobile applications. In 2017, retail digital sales represented only 5.4% of total units sold, but in 2021, our digital sales accounted for over 40% of total units sold, of which products such as advance on wages, savings accounts and insurances had higher levels of units sold digitally. We have also increased our share of digital clients, which were 23% of individual clients in 2017 and reached 57% in 2021. Digital clients are retail customers who comply with at least with one of three conditions: (i) carry out at least 50% of their monetary transactions through digital channels, (ii) carry out at least 50% of their non-monetary transactions through digital channels, or (iii) bought products digitally in the last 12 months. To achieve these results, we have improved the experience in our digital channels and have increased our mobile banking users from 0.8 million in 2017 to over 4.5 million in 2021. Moreover, in 2017, we launched Yape, which has since become the largest digital wallet in Peru, according to BCP Stand-alone’s research unit, with over 8 million users by the end of 2021. We increased our volume of loans and deposits per employee (by 47% from 2017 to 2021) and reduced our branches (by 21% from 2017 to 2021) placing us among the most efficient financial institutions in Latin America according to BCP Stand-alone’s research unit analysis of the efficiency ratio of its main regional peers. We have also continued increasing our spending and investment in IT (by 79% from 2017 to 2021) to achieve further improvements in our efficiency indicators in the medium term. For further information about our digital transformation investments please refer to “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our increasing investments in digital transformation and disruptive initiatives may fail to achieve the ambitions, efficiencies and other performance improvements, which could affect our financial performance.”

(II)	BCP Stand-alone’s Business Segments

(II.I)

Retail Banking Group (RBG)

As of December 31, 2021, retail banking-related loans represented 51.9% of BCP Stand-alone’s total loans, while retail banking-related deposits represented 62.4% of BCP Stand-alone’s total deposits.

The following table shows the client segmentation for RBG. This segmentation was a result of an analysis that addressed multiple factors such as the size and volume of activity for each client, the clients’ affiliation with other companies or groups and their credit ratings.

Client Segmentation
Business	Segment	Group	Client Income/Sales/Total debt
Retail Banking Group (RBG)	Individuals	Enalta	Individual monthly income at least S/20,000; or more than US$200,000 in asset under management (not including severance indemnity deposits) in each month for the previous 6 months
		Affluent	Individual monthly income from S/5,000 to S/20,000 in each month for the previous 6 months
		Consumer	Focus on medium- and low-income individuals (less than S/5,000 of individual monthly income)
	SME	Business	Annual sales from S/5.6 million to S/33 million; or total debt from S/1.2 million to S/10 million
	SME	Pyme	Annual sales up to S/5.6 million; or total debt up to S/1.2 million

Content

Individuals’ business segments within RBG are:

Enalta

Enalta services include investment advisory, securities-based lending, financial planning, and day-to-day banking services such as loans and cash accounts. Enalta clients have access to 8 exclusive branches, 7 in Lima and 1 in Arequipa, and they benefit from the personalized advice of investment, insurance and loan experts, as well as exclusive, invitation-only products. Enalta has close to 44,000 clients.

Affluent

Customers in RBG’s Affluent segment receive a differentiated value proposition that includes dedicated remote customer service, such as specialized account managers, preferential service by tellers at branches, an exclusive contact number, and preferential interest rates on loans. Approximately 80% of these clients are serviced through specialized remote account managers responsible for improving per-client profitability and achieving long-term relationships through personalized service, cross-selling, and share-of-wallet strategies. In 2021, we diverted the remaining clients from the physical branches to remote account managers. This has allowed us to give greater personalized services to customers with more products. Affluent has approximately 355,000 clients, of which 285,000 are served by 298 relationship managers. Clients without a relationship manager are served by a pool of assistants.

Consumer Banking

Our Consumer Banking segment is in charge of developing strategies for the retail customers who are not included in affluent banking or small business banking. Its customer base consists of approximately 9.8 million (only considers clients with at least one product) medium-to-low-income individuals. Consumer Banking focuses on customers who receive their payroll through BCP Stand-alone (which represents around 1.25 million clients). Its strategies vary from basic acquisition of new accounts for wage-earners with special terms regarding fees and interest rates, to more sophisticated, aggressive cross-sell and retention programs that may include non-banking benefits (such as access to discounts on non-banking products) and access to payroll advances.

The main products offered to individuals are:

Mortgage

According to the SBS and the Association of Banks of Peru (Asociación de Bancos del Peru or ASBANC by its Spanish initials), as of December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone was the largest mortgage lender in Peru, with a market share of 32.06%.

Content

One of the product lines responsible for recent growth in BCP Stand-alone’s mortgage lending to low-income customer is loans funded by the credit program of the Peruvian Housing Development Bank (Fondo MiVivienda). The Fondo MiVivienda credit program provides government-funded loans with down payment aid for the purchase of properties valued up to S/427,600. This program seeks to cover the deficit in housing for lower-income population segments.

According to the SBS, in 2021, BCP Stand-alone made over 4,000 MiVivienda loans, representing the largest number of MiVivienda loans in the financial system, according to the SBS. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone had a MiVivienda market share of 40.4%.

Mortgage loans are associated with low losses because of their low LTV, as they are backed by the home equity guarantee. These loans have the added benefit of generating opportunities for cross selling other banking products.

Credit Card & Consumer Loans

BCP Stand-alone’s current credit card balances decreased from S/4,004 million as of December 31, 2020 to S/3,754 million as of December 31, 2021, due to our implementation of a risk-reduction strategy in the first half of 2021 and to the fact that clients had excess liquidity from severance indemnity and pension fund withdrawals approved but the government, which led to less use of their credit cards. However, the optimization of our risk models and pricing strategy, enabled BCP Stand-alone to increase its credit card sales by 34% from 2020 to 2021 also following the implementation of new commercial campaigns and the lifting of pandemic related restrictions, contributed to the total credit card usage by BCP Stand-alone’s customers increasing by 54% during the same period

In addition, BCP Stand-alone increased its credit card authorization rate by 3.5% compared to 2020, from 88.2% to 91.7%. Furthermore, contactless payments were promoted through credit cards and mobile payments. As a result, this type of payments represented 55% of total transactions (an increase of 19% compared to 2020). Moreover, BCP Stand-alone achieved 34.4% of its sales through digital channels in 2021 (an increase of 7.3% compared to 2020). These improvements enabled BCP Stand-alone to improve its customers’ credit card satisfaction rate by 12% from 2020 to 2021, according to BCP Stand-alone’s own customer satisfaction surveys led by Ipsos Peru.

Content

During 2021, consumer loans showed a significant recovery in line with economic reactivation after the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. We achieved record levels of sales, with over S/600 million in 2021.

At the beginning of the year, we focused on increasing our product offering to allow more customers to start building a credit record and be included in the financial system. To reach these objectives, we offered 92,000 customers low credit limits and gradually increased limits for customers with good payment behavior. We also improved our value proposition by using an elasticity model to set interest rates. Consumer loans without collateral grew from S/4,933 million in 2020 to S/6,115 million in 2021 (representing 24% growth), and digital sales accounted for 77% of total loans sold in 2021 (an increase of 17% compared to 2020).

The SME segments within RBG are:

SME-Pyme

SME-Pyme served approximately 647,600 clients as of December 31, 2021. Its credit portfolio reached S/19,787 million in 2021 (compared to S/19,916 million in 2020) and a market share of 22.0%, according to the SBS. In 2021, we continued to serve our clients while digitizing our processes and systems. Finally, according to BCP Stand-alone’s own customer satisfaction surveys led by Ipsos Peru in 2021, 52% of SME-Pyme clients indicated that they were satisfied or highly satisfied with BCP Stand-alone products and services.

SME-Business

SME-Business served approximately 11,100 clients as of December 31, 2021. In 2021, SME-Business experienced a reduction in loans and deposits, which decreased 4.7% and 4.9%, respectively, from December 31, 2020, to December 31, 2021, mainly driven by lower Reactiva Peru loans and deposits. See “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment – Peru” for a description of the Reactiva Peru Program. Excluding the effects of the Reactiva Peru Program, SME-Business’s loans balance decreased by 9.4% over the same period. According to the SBS, BCP Stand-alone closed 2021 with 40.8% in loans market share, in Peru, keeping BCP Stand-alone in first place in market share. Furthermore, according to our internal customer satisfaction survey led by Ipsos Peru, 90% of our SME-Business clients indicated that they were satisfied or highly satisfied with BCP Stand-alone products and services in 2021 compared to 92% in 2020.

Kioskos BCP: Kioskos BCP are digital self-service platforms at which customers can open savings accounts and/or pick up debit cards. 6.8 million transactions were conducted through Kioskos BCP in 2021, which represented a 15.3% decrease from 2020.

Physical channels

◾

BCP Agentes: BCP Agentes, which are legally separated points of contact at allied SMEs, with which we contract to enable our clients to carry out certain transactions, continues to constitute a highly effective channel for providing services to our clients given the wide availability of BCP Agentes in Peru. At the end of 2021, BCP Stand-alone had 8,054 BCP Agentes, which reflected an increase of 1,051 BCP Agentes compared to the end of 2020. BCP Agentes conducted 357 million of monetary transactions, which represent an increase of 24.7% with respect to 2020.

◾

Branches: At the end of 2021, BCP Stand-alone had 357 branches, which represented a reduction of 31 branches with regard to the level reported in 2020. This decline was attributable to an increase in client digitalization levels in the context of the pandemic, which led us to optimize our network.

Retail Banking Innovations

Yape

Yape’s goal is to be the preferred app for Peruvians to solve their daily needs. Yape is an app used to make money transfers and payments through a cell phone. Yape users can receive money transfers to their bank accounts, make transfers and payments to other accounts which are linked to their cell phone number and/or to a unique QR code, or buy cell phone credit. Our main goals for this app are: for it to be the main payments network in Peru, to be present in the daily lives of Yaperos (Yape users); and to solve Yaperos’ financial needs.

Yape grew an average of 270,000 new monthly users during 2021, of whom more than 70,000 are new BCP Stand-Alone clients and first-time users of a debit prepaid BCP Stand-Alone bank card. A new Yape user is more likely to acquire other BCP Stand-Alone products and to lead to new clients than a non-Yape user.

The goal of Yape is to achieve financial inclusion for the almost two thirds of Peruvians which today do not have access to banking services in the country. To that end, we launched Yape Card in May of 2020. Yape Card is a prepaid digital account. Any Peruvian citizen, 18 years or older can register with an ID and use Yape without having a BCP Stand-Alone bank account.

In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, in 2021 Yape Card was a key contributor in the distribution and payment of the Bono 600 and Bono Yanapay transfers given by the Peruvian government to more than 780,000 Peruvians who were not users of the formal banking system. Those citizens were able to receive financial aid provided by the government in a timely and safe manner because of Yape Card.

As of December 2021, Yape had more than 8 million users, 57 million monthly transactions, S/25.7 billion transferred annually, and more than 1.6 million small businesses affiliated. More than 54% of users used Yape at least once a month. During 2021, the growth rate for Yape’s users was approximately 13,000 registrations per day.

Today, Yape adds value to the organization through four main sources: (i) client’s transactional data. Given that cash transactions are replaced by digital ones, it is possible to duly register information about payments and transfers from small businesses and, as a consequence, improve credit risk assessment and develop new products targeted to this segment; (ii) bank accounts remain with a positive balance for longer periods of time because the use of cash is less frequent as it is replaced with digital transactions. In addition, there is a reduction in the use of tellers or ATMs thus reducing associated operating costs; (iii) Yape has generated a significant number of new customers to BCP Stand-Alone. Also, because those clients are mostly digital clients, customer service costs are reduced too. In addition, there are more than one million Yape Card members who can become potential users of BCP Stand-Alone banking products; and finally (iv) current BCP Stand-Alone clients can turn into digital clients, that is, make a more frequent use of digital channels which lowers the cost of attention.

Content

One of the most important milestones of 2021 occurred in November with the launch of our first product: “Mobile Top-Ups” (cell phone credit recharges), which allows users to buy cell phone credit from the Yape app. This launch has brought with it promising results, since in just a month and a half, 1.3 million top-ups were reached, which represented S/7.6 million transacted. This is the first functionality that generates direct income to the Company, because there is a fee paid by the mobile phone carriers.

COVID-19 management

RBG extended financial facilities to clients through reprogramming loans and debt consolidation and as of December 31, 2021, facilities extended to individuals totaled S/1,282 million, facilities extended to SME-Pyme totaled S/305 million and facilities extended to SME-Business totaled S/299 million.

Wholesale Banking Group (WBG)

As of December 31, 2021, wholesale banking loans represented 46% of BCP Stand-alone’s total loans, while wholesale banking deposits represented 36% of BCP Stand-alone’s total deposits. WBG competes with local and foreign banks in Peru. WBG’s average daily balances amounted to S/52,892 million in 2021 (a 1.6% increase from 2020), compared to average daily balances of S/52,061 million in 2020 (a 13.1% increase from 2019) and S/46,042 million in 2019 (a 2.8% increase from 2018). It also maintained its leadership in the Peruvian Wholesale Banking market with a 37.8% market share in loans, according to the SBS and ASBANC. It has also established longstanding client relationships with major industrial and commercial groups in Peru. The WBG provides its customers with cash management solutions, short- and medium-term loans in local and foreign currencies, foreign trade-related financing, and lease and project financing.

The following table shows the client segmentation of BCP Stand-alone’s WBG segments. This segmentation was a result of an analysis, which addressed multiple factors such as the size and volume of activity for each client, the clients’ affiliation with other companies or groups and their credit ratings.

WBG is divided into the following divisions and support areas:

Corporate and International Division (CID)

The CID served 4,831 clients as of December 31, 2021. The CID provides financing for capital expenditures and investments, sales, international trade, and inventories. It offers medium- and long-term financing, financial leases, and project financing and includes the following subdivisions:

Corporate banking subdivision, which provides loans and other credit and financial services. Focuses on serving large-sized companies in Peru that have annual sales of over US$100 million, corporate governance, audited financial statements, and dominant market positions in their particular brands or product areas. Even if clients do not meet any of these criteria, the CID may provide services to firms under this category if they belong to a large economic group of an important industry to Peru’s economy.

International banking & leasing subdivision manages relationships with financial institutions (locally and abroad) and provides trade products, international operational services, and financial leasing products.

•

BCP Stand-alone’s Correspondent Banking Unit focuses on obtaining and providing short-term funding for international trade, as well as medium-term lines of credit funded by international commercial banks and other countries’ governmental institutions. Besides, this unit earns fees by confirming letters of credit and guarantees issued by international banks and otherwise by providing international payment and trade finance services. The department also provides funding to some other Latin American banks which send their international trade and guarantee flows to Peru through BCP Stand-alone. BCP Stand-alone’s Correspondent Banking Unit also promotes international trade activities with its local clients by structuring trade products and services, organizing and sponsoring conferences, and advising customers through a wide range of trade products.

Through the CID, BCP Stand-alone assists its corporate clients with financial services, cash management solutions, and short- and medium-term financing through the CID. BCP Stand-alone’s corporate banking loans, measured in average daily balances, increased from S/28,269 million in 2019 to S/30,801 million in 2020, but decreased to S/29,992 million in 2021.

BCP Stand-alone has a leading position in the Peruvian banking system with 37.7% of the market share for corporate banking loans, according to the SBS and ASBANC. Despite the intense competition of foreign banks that may offer lower rates to the market since they finance their operations at lower costs from their headquarters.

Middle-Market Banking Division (MMD)

The MMD served 8,931 clients as of December 31, 2021. Regarding MMD, we note the following:

(i)

The MMD serves mid-sized companies, organizations, and institutions. MMD considers a mix of different characteristics in identifying potential clients, such as annual revenues, financial leverage, overall debt, product penetration, and complexity. The MMD clients’ annual revenues generally range between US$10 million to US$100 million and are serviced nationwide by 12 BCP Stand-alone regional managers and multiple industry-focused service teams.

Content

(ii)

MMD focuses principally on serving for-profit and non-profit organizations, state-owned companies, and other significant institutions.

(iii)

Furthermore, the Institutional Banking Unit, which operates within the MMD, serves 1,557 clients throughout Peru. In Lima, a specialized MMD team serves governmental entities, educational institutions, religious organizations, international bodies, non-governmental organizations, civil associations, and regulated entities, such as microfinance institutions, insurance companies, pension funds, and private funds. Also, BCP Stand-alone has deployed specialized MMD teams in the largest provinces in Peru. On the other hand, in the smaller provinces in Peru, MMD is supported by the Retail Banking Division team who attends our customers’ needs.

(iv)

Cash management and transactional services subdivision, which develops products and services to support clients’ daily cash management activities, collections payments, and investments, among others.

The MMD loan portfolio was S/17,773 million as of December 31, 2019, S/21,260 million as of December 31, 2020, and S/22,900 million as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone had a market share of 37.9% in the Peruvian middle-market segment, according to the SBS and ASBANC.

The products offered to middle-market clients are similar to those offered to corporate banking clients. The major types of products are:

(1)

Revolving credit lines to finance working capital needs and international trade financing;

(2)

Standby letters of credit and bond guarantees;

(3)

Structured long-term and medium-term financing, through loans or financial leasing; and

Digital Transformation

At WBG we aim to strengthen our clients’ preferences by improving business profitability, preserving risk quality, and enhancing our digital platforms. Therefore, our strategy has been focused on the following points:

•

Collection process enhancement: due to greater competition in the non-lending business, we have implemented projects focused on digitalizing our clients’ collection journey, providing them with an improved customer experience and maintaining our leadership position in the market. During 2021, we deployed initiatives based on educating and rewarding clients for the use of digital channels for service payments and worked on improving their customer experience.

•

A unique and powerful digital platform offering: make our Office Banking the best digital platform in the local financial market that allows us to accompany our clients in all their journeys, offering a digital end to end solution with 24/7 accessibility to our product and services portfolio.

•

Operational stability improvement: assure security and availability of our platforms.

•

Financial ecosystems and Open API development: we focus on creating an interconnected services network that allows users to satisfy multiple needs through a single integrated digital experience.

Sustainable Finance

WBG is committed to the sustainability objectives of Credicorp, which intends to create a more sustainable and inclusive economy. Hence, we offered green financing alternatives to our clients such as green loans and Eco-factoring; with the aim of empowering them to finance projects with a distinctive environmental footprint. In March 2021, as part of a club deal with another local bank, we granted Arca Continental Lindley a green loan for the repay of international bonds, issued to build the first industrial plants in Peru with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold and Platinum certifications for their high-level of efficiency on resource management and care of human health.

COVID-19 Management

Since mid-March 2020, most companies have struggled with liquidity due to COVID-19. The WBG helped many companies to overcome the crisis by creating a specialized unit department in charge of rescheduling credits.

This area serves 148 clients from 12 economic groups, and its loan portfolio was S/2,807 million as of December 2021. This area was created to look after some of our Middle-Market and Corporate division clients who might need closer monitoring and special financing structures, with the aim of maintaining the commercial relationship and ensuring their financial performance recovery.

Content

Likewise, in March 2021, the Peruvian government approved rescheduling of loans acquired in the Reactiva Peru Program for clients that were still recovering from revenues losses due to the global pandemic. WBG proceeded to reschedule a total of S/1,406 million loans of 548 clients.

(II.III)

Treasury

BCP Stand-alone’s Treasury function is divided into four primary units: (1) the ALM Group, (2) the Sales & Trading Unit, (3) the Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Distribution Unit, and (4) the Treasury Tribe.

ALM Group

The ALM Group is responsible for managing BCP Stand-alone’s statement of financial position and for taking reasonable interest rate and liquidity risks under the oversight of our Asset and Liabilities Committee (ALCO). The ALM Group is also responsible for maintaining our investment portfolio, Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Capital Management. In addition, the ALM Group participates in money and debt capital markets, oversees reserve requirements, and manages BCP Stand-alone’s liquidity and the bank’s statement of financial position. The ALM Group has been active in auctions held by the BCRP for certificates of deposit as well as in financing its funding needs, interbank transactions, guaranteed negotiable notes, and other instruments.

Sales and Trading Unit

BCP Stand-alone’s Sales and Trading Unit manages both foreign exchange and interest rate risk exposure and investments for proprietary positions purposes. The managed risk originates mainly from client liquidity transactions and from open proprietary positions. Market risk exposures and limits are independently defined by the Market Risk Unit and closely monitored by the Treasury Risk Unit. Additionally, an Investor Sales team within the Sales and Trading Unit actively reaches out to institutional investors, providing direct access to market maker prices and liquidity. The Sales and Trading Unit includes both a Foreign Exchange Desk and an Interest Rates Desk that manages risk as follows:

•

Foreign Exchange: The Foreign Exchange Desk provides liquidity for spot and forward transactions for its clients and other market makers in US Dollar-Peruvian Soles (USDPEN), other Latin-American currencies, and G-10 currencies. The Foreign Exchange Trading Desk also manages foreign exchange volatility book for USDPEN. Additionally, the desk participates in Foreign Exchange transactions related to different instruments designed by the BCRP to smooth out any currency volatility.

•

Interest Rates (IR): The Interest Rates Desk manages the investments and risk originated from both fixed-income and swap transactions from clients and from proprietary positions. BCP Stand-alone’s fixed-income portfolio consists mainly of government bonds (both in local and hard currency) from Latin-American countries and US Treasuries. The Interest Rates Desk is one of the main liquidity providers in the Peruvian government bond market, where it is a leading participant of the Market Maker Program of the Ministry of Economy and Finance of Peru.

Content

Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Distribution Unit

BCP Stand-alone’s Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Distribution Unit helps companies with their foreign exchange needs (spot and hedging) through its Distribution Desk. The broad portfolio of foreign exchange products provided to its client base has allowed the Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Distribution Unit to position itself as a benchmark in the foreign exchange business in the Peruvian market.

Treasury Tribe

The Treasury Tribe is responsible for providing technological support to the different units that make up the Treasury function through the enabling of platforms and technological tools; as well as, through the implementation of different initiatives that allow business scalability. The Tribe is made up of six squads — five for the development of initiatives related to products (Exchange, Foreign Exchange & Derivatives, Investments & Funding, Liquidity and ALM) and one for shared requirements across those products.

Role in LIBOR Transition

The Treasury team has been leading the transition process from LIBOR to other references rates. During this process, the group has measured the exposure and risks regarding the transition in terms of products, clients, funding, contracts, training, infrastructure, and other areas.

BCP Stand-alone has adopted most of the recommendations given by the ARRC convened by the FED. Specifically, Treasury and commercial bank products have been conformed to use Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the main alternative reference floating rate. This new alternative rate has been implemented in BCP Stand-alone’s systems that register and valuate contracts. BCP Stand-alone also has adopted the Fallbacks Protocol of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), amended legacy contracts, and advised its clients about changes in the market and current trends. The Treasury team has also trained the commercial teams and kept them up to date, in order to offer the most accurate information to BCP Stand-alone´s clients.

(III)

BCP Stand-alone’s lending policies and procedures

BCP Stand-alone has adopted a risk appetite framework and established objective metrics and thresholds to periodically monitor the Bank’s evolving risk profile. The framework was approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors; and is managed and monitored by the Risk Management Division within BCP Stand-alone’s Central Risk Management Group. The adoption of a risk appetite framework reflects BCP Stand-alone’s commitment to aligning its forward-looking business strategy with its corporate risk vision.

Content

BCP Stand-alone’s uniform credit policies and approval and review procedures are based upon conservative criteria. These policies are administered in accordance with guidelines established by the Peruvian financial sector laws and SBS regulations. For further information, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation”.

BCP Stand-alone’s credit approval process is based primarily on an evaluation of each borrower’s repayment capacity and commercial and historical credit behavior. BCP Stand-alone determines a corporate borrower’s repayment capacity by analyzing the historical and projected financial condition of the company and of the industry in which it operates. Other factors that BCP Stand-alone analyzes include the company’s current management and the quality of any collateral to be provided. In addition, BCP Stand-alone’s credit officers analyze the corporate client’s ability to repay obligations, estimate the probability of default of the client using an internal risk rating model, and define the maximum credit exposure that BCP Stand-alone wants to hold with the client.

The process of standardized risk model building, and monitoring based on new sources of information and innovative statistical techniques was crucial to the Group transformation to endure decisions in the credit process, such as admission, monitoring, and recovery. In particular, more complex models with enriched data allow for the inclusion of lesser-known customers into BCP Stand-alone portfolio and the more precise estimation of income and sales, which otherwise would have been done by physical means. These models are continuously monitored in order to assess their accuracy and revised if necessary. During 2021, some of the model adjustments introduced because of COVID-19 were reviewed and dismantled, particularly in credit admissions, as the uncertainty regarding customers’ payment behavior began to decrease.

BCP Stand-alone evaluates individual and small business borrowers by considering the client’s repayment capacity, a documented set of policies (including, among other issues, the client’s financial track record and the degree of knowledge of the client) and credit scores, which assign loan-loss probabilities relative to the expected return of each market segment. Nowadays a significant part of BCP Stand-alone’s loan application decisions for Individuals and SME applicants, are made through automatic means. However, more sophisticated loans application decisions are made by credit officers who use credit scores and profitability models as inputs for their evaluations. In 2021, BCP’s Credit Risk Department continued operating in an agile framework, in which tribes and squads follow an agile operating model that allows them to plan, prioritize and focus on initiatives that directly contribute to established objectives, providing flexibility and agility, in order to create value for our clients.

Under the agile framework, tribes and squads consist of diverse team members such as risk specialists, data scientists, risk policy implementation members, among others, that previously worked more separately and more remotely in distinct units. Operating under cross-functional Squads has created a better understanding and alignment of goals in a timely schedule, through increased and improved communication and collaboration. Squads achieve a faster and more effective exchange of data, information, and knowledge. Consequently, BCP’s Retail Risk Division has used the framework to enhance the bank’s abilities to more precisely and timely identify and assess the specific segments and subsegments that may require adjustments in credit policies and processes in order to be optimally managed.

Content

Our performance in the small business and personal lending areas depends largely on BCP Stand-alone’s ability to obtain reliable credit and client information about prospective borrowers. BCP Stand-alone has a large body of transactional information that is used in credit risk models. Also, the SBS has an extensive credit bureau, which has expanded its credit exposure database service to cover businesses and individuals that have borrowed any amounts from Peruvian financial institutions.

As a result of COVID-19, BCP Stand-alone has introduced methodological adjustments and new sources of information (including payment record and behavior on different pandemic phases, information about economic and geographic restrictions, and other internal variables) to calibrate the expected loss models. Some of these improvements include a greater granularity and improved assessment of the real situation of deterioration of the clients (mainly SME-Pyme and Consumer portfolios). This led to closely monitoring the potential continued effects and impacts of COVID-19, as well as the effectiveness of actions and measures especially for our vulnerable clients.

BCP Stand-alone has a strictly enforced policy that limits the lending authority of its loan officers. It also has procedures to ensure that these limits are adhered to before a loan is disbursed. Under BCP Stand-alone’s credit approval process, the lending authority for WBG is centralized into a specialized credit risk analysis division. This division is operated by officers and committees that have specific lending limits set by client and economic group. Likewise, for RBG, there is another specialized credit risk analysis division that also operates with lending limits by product portfolio. In addition to the controls built into the loan approval workflow systems, the credit risk management divisions and internal auditors regularly review credit approvals to ensure compliance with lending policies.

For the WBG, in accordance with international standards, BCP Stand-alone has established lending authority limits based on risk rating (probability of default) and particular guarantees of the borrower. Requests for credit facilities in excess of the limits set for credit officers are reviewed by the Credits Committee, Executive Committee or, if the amount requested is sufficiently large, by the BCP Stand-alone’s Board of Directors. In addition, BCP Stand-alone has concentration limits in the loan portfolio by industry, which is based on its target risk appetite and market share.

Content

BCP Stand-alone believes that an important factor to maintain the quality of its loan portfolio is the selection and training of its loan and risk officers. BCP Stand-alone requires loan officers to have degrees in economics, accounting, business administration or related fields from competitive local or foreign universities. In addition, training for new loan officers begins with a three-month program that covers all aspects of banking and finance. Subsequently, loan officers receive training in specific matters throughout their careers at BCP Stand-alone. Laterally hired officers are generally required to have prior experience as loan officers.

BCP Stand-alone operates in substantial part as a secured lender. As of December 31, 2021, approximately S/60.7 billion of its loan portfolio and off-balance-sheet exposure was secured by collateral, which represents 45.0% of its total loan portfolio based on unconsolidated figures (excluding overseas branch office BCP Panama and overseas agency BCP Miami), as compared to 47.2% in 2020 and 38.3% in 2019. The increase since 2020 was driven in large part by the loans guaranteed under the Reactiva Peru Program (which provides coverage between 80% and 95%). Excluding these loans, 38.3% of the portfolio was secured by collateral in 2021.

Liquid collateral is a small portion of BCP Stand-alone’s total collateral. BCP Stand-alone requires collateral for the extension of credit depending on the risk profile and the business segment of the client, among other factors. When BCP Stand-alone requires collateral, it is usually valued at between 110% and 150% of the principal amount of the credit facility granted. The appraisal of illiquid collateral, in particular real estate assets, machinery and equipment, is performed by independent experts. BCP Stand-alone’s internal audit division conducts selected revisions and analyses on borrowers’ financial statements, consistent with the local banking regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates.

In BCP Stand-alone’s credit monitoring unit, we continue improving the anticipation of credit deterioration for Wholesale Banking and Business Banking customers. We included transactional flows (cash flows in checking accounts, both input and output) in our alarm system.

Additionally, we have a sectorial taxonomy for risk management in case of unexpected events. This map is prepared by segmenting the portfolio by economic activities and identifying the risks for each sector. In relation to rescheduled loans and loans under the Reactiva 1 and Reactiva 2 programs, we prepare quarterly portfolio monitoring for different risk variables in order to identify the level of portfolio risk. These variables include: rating, type of credit according to SBS, classification, credit exchange risk, and unique risk, among others; Likewise, we carry out an individual follow-up on a quarterly basis according to the alerts of each client.

Microfinance transformation

In Microfinance, our transformation strategy is focused on migrating our traditional business model, which is intensive in people and offices, to a hybrid multichannel model guided by information and analysis to improve our customers’ experiences. Transformation entails: ensuring the evolution of our culture; driving a change in mindset; and making innovations in the way we serve our clients and in our business model. We will accomplish this by leveraging new technologies and forms of work to ensure that we are on track to meet our objectives.

Our focus covers three main objectives: to become a reference point for customer experience; lead growth in the region; and become a benchmark for the microfinance business model.

We are focused on five enabling fronts:

■

Customer Centric: to provide an extraordinary experience that is in tune with the needs of our clients.

■

Digital Business Model: to generate digital capacities and evolve the current business model by focusing on customer experience and efficient growth.

■

Collaborative Organizational Culture: focused on implementing a customer-client focus; reinforcing reliability and commitment; and ensuring that we have the talent and leadership required for transformation while forming work squads and tribes.

■

Data driven: focused on creating a competitive advantage by generating advanced analytical capacities to support core business practices (origination, collections, commercial effectiveness, pricing, and key personnel) and analytics to make decisions.

■

IT & Digital Risk: Having flexible architecture to support digital transformation and to ensure that cybersecurity is at necessary levels.

In Colombia, there is an opportunity to replicate, through the “Mibanco Way,” the improvements that we are already seeing in Peru in terms of productivity, cost of risk and efficiency.

Progress in Transformation

In 2021, we made the following progress on our transformation journey:

Customer Centric

During 2021, our efforts were aimed at improving our digital channels and their functionalities in order to provide the best experience to our customers. For this we have worked on three fronts.

(i)

Client Digitization: The use of the mobile application was promoted to answer queries and carry out operations. As a result, as of December 31, 2021, our mobile application had 570 thousand users and more than 14% of loan disbursements are made through this channel (compared to 306 thousand users and 2% of loan disbursements in 2020). Likewise, the digitization of our clients’ businesses was promoted through the use of Yape and Culqi, which are part of our payment ecosystem solutions, to carry out collection operations. Furthermore, in line with providing an extraordinary experience to our customers, business advisors conducted 144,000 training sessions on the use of digital channels for our customers.

(ii)

Disbursements generated through leads: Mibanco’s hybrid model in based on the capacity to generate loans through leads. Starting in 2021 and boosted by the economic reactivation, the generation of loans through leads became the lead process’s power to generate loans. In 2021, 67.5% of disbursement balances were generated through leads compared to 51.4% registered in 2020.

(iii)

Disbursements through alternative channels: Since 2020, to better meet the needs of Mibanco’s clients, we began to make loan disbursements through alternative channels. This has allowed clients to receive disbursed amounts directly through internet home banking or via mobile banking, eliminating the need to visit a branch. During 2021, loan disbursement through alternative channels began to pick up, in line with an increase in total disbursements driven by economic reactivation. In 2021, disbursements through alternative channels accounted for 33.1% of total disbursements and represented 8.6% of the total amount disbursed, compared to 11.2% of total loan disbursements through alternative channels in 2020, which represented 5.6% of the total amount disbursed.

Content

At the same time, we are taking a more active role in the SME-Pyme financial ecosystem with Yevo, which is our digital platform where entrepreneurs can apply for loans, and receive advice related to digital issues and financial health. Yevo also offers services that add value to businesses, such as creating a virtual store, among others.

Finally, we are working on deploying the NPS (Net Promoter Score) throughout Mibanco’s branch network to align the whole organization under the Customer Centric enabling front. Mibanco’s NPS was 30% as of December 2021. We are also using the Employee Net Promoter Score (ENPS) indicator in our management processes to measure the employee experience. Mibanco’s ENPS score was situated at 55% as of December 2021.

Digital Business Model

We have advanced in our journey to a hybrid business model by developing digital tools and implementing new sale channels as alternatives to traditional outlets (business advisor), providing customers services through:

•

Telephone sales, APP, home banking, teller, and platform.

•

URPI, a digital instrument for business advisors, which facilitates the advisor’s assessment, sales, and collections in the field to ensure that they have more face-to-face time with clients. As of December 2021, 43.5% of the credit operations were conducted through alternative sales channels and 97% of our relationship managers were utilizing the functionalities available on URPI. These functionalities include field information on the clients, an operation simulator (amount, tenure, and rate), planning sales priorities and collections in the field.

•

We have launched a digital model through an alliance with Uber Technologies Inc. and MO Technologies, a fintech that conducts a digital assessment of potential clients with the database of Uber drivers to grant them loans which are disbursed in Mibanco’s deposit accounts; this provides information that allows us to expand our client base selectively and provides a great deal of information to scale up our business with controlled risk.

Collaborative Organizational Culture

We have adopted agile forms of work through tribes, COEs and squads in order to serve our customers better more efficiently. By the end of 2021, we had 4 tribes (Traditional Channels, Product Segment, Business Ecosystem and Digital Channels); 2 COEs (Agility COE and Customer Experience COE); and 25 squads, which supported origination, collections, digital development, experimental work, and client experience. Additionally, we developed six business models for intelligent business and an advanced analytics team.

Content

Additionally, we have implemented our own network of Innovation Coaches and Architects to ensure innovation is maintained at all levels of the organization. In line with this, we launched the “Spiral of Innovation” award among the employees of Mibanco Peru and Mibanco Colombia, which is a contest where we evaluate the results of initiatives and choose the best one between various categories such as: new products and services, efficiency, employee experience, customer experience and sustainability. This contest highlighted Mibanco Peru’s Crediagua and Credito Mujer initiatives for their promotion of innovation in various economic sectors. Finally, we have implemented our ideas incubator named Muru, which aims to transform ideas within Mibanco Peru and Mibanco Colombia into tangible results.

Data Driven

In 2021, we were focused on generating competitive advantages through centralized lending and working on a multi-channel collections strategy. Improvements in this regard were supported by advanced analytics models, which helped us increase the number of loans approved through leads from 28.3% in 2020 to 36.3% in 2021.

IT & Digital Risk

We made progress in integrating the platform that supports digital transformation and rolled out processes to ensure that we meet all cybersecurity requirements. We also advanced in our quest to implement tools for digital collaboration.

2.3 Insurance & Pensions

2.3.1

Grupo Pacifico

(I) Grupo Pacifico Overview

We conduct our insurance business exclusively through Grupo Pacifico, which operates in Peru and Bolivia and is the second-largest Peruvian insurance company by written premiums in 2021, according to the SBS and the Peru’s National Health Superintendence (Superintendencia Nacional de Salud or SUSALUD by its Spanish Initials). Grupo Pacifico provides a broad range of insurance products focusing on three business areas: P&C, life insurance business, and corporate health insurance and medical services. Grupo Pacifico, like other major Peruvian insurance companies, sells its products both directly (through its own sales force) and through independent brokers, bancassurance, and sponsors.

For further information see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.A History and development of the Company”.

In the last three years, we have focused on the development of digital channels in our insurance business, both for sales and client service. This has helped us improve the acceptance and widened the adoption by clients of digital channels in our insurance business in order to respond to the greater need for protection.

During 2021, we have continued our strategy to seize this opportunity, which establishes three main axes: customer-centric innovation, focus on Credicorp distribution channels and process digitalization for both sales and services.

The first strategic axis is to provide customer-centric products and service to our clients. This axis has allowed us to create new digital sales experiences for our customers, and the share of our digital policies, which are the retail policies sold through our digital channels such as ecommerce, digital platforms for insurance brokers and digital integration with retail alliances. Retail policies out of our total policies increased from 13% as of December 31, 2020 to 24% as of December 31, 2021. This growth is supported by the steady pace in which we have enabled digital products to fit our client’s needs.

Content

The second strategic axis is focus on taking advantage of the reach provided by Credicorp channels. This year, through BCP Stand-alone digital channels, we have enabled two digital products on the BCP Stand-alone Insurance Marketplace, which is an insurance dedicated section in BCP Stand-alone’s main website, that we created in 2020. In addition, through a combined team with representatives from both Grupo Pacifico and Mibanco, we have established a coordinated roadmap to develop digital insurance products on Mibanco’s sales and client platforms; this enabled us to increase the digital sales of optional policies, such as limited health cancer insurance, business insurance, limited life insurance and bodily injury liability car insurance. The number of digital sales increased from 396 as of December 31, 2020 to 10,745 as of December 31, 2021.

The third axis is process digitalization. The need for both digital sales and digital client servicing has scaled significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and has become a part of our client’s basic needs during 2021 Therefore, we keep seeking to be at the forefront of this development. In 2021, Credicorp’s digital premiums, which are the premiums sold through our digital channels, increased by 144% from 2020.

We also seek to automate our processes. By the end of 2021, we have started to pilot a self-service claim process for our retail home insurance product, a claim process that is supported by artificial intelligence software.

COVID-19 Management

Pacifico as well as other subsidiaries joined the Ministry of Health campaign, Pongo el Hombro por el Perú, and collaborated on the process to vaccinate Peruvians be developing brigades at the largest drive through vaccination site in Peru. In a complementary effort, we strengthened communication for clients to stress the importance of vaccination by leveraging our presence in the social networks.

Distribution Channels

Digital channels

•

Mi Espacio Pacifico App: In 2021, 257 thousand clients used Grupo Pacifico’s app, compared to 169 thousand in 2020. Additionally, 67.7% of inquiries were self-managed as compared to 60.0% of inquiries that were self-managed in 2020.

•

•

Branches: At the end of 2021, Pacifico had 26 branches (compared to 35 branches in 2020). Due to the social distancing measures enacted during the pandemic, Grupo Pacifico temporarily closed its offices and branches to the public. Nevertheless, the company has continued providing its clients with the services they need.

(II) Risk Rating

Grupo Pacifico managed to reaffirm the solidity and solvency of the company, maintaining its international credit’s ratings despite the Peruvian context: AM Best affirmed “A-” in December 2021, Fitch affirmed “BBB+” in April 2021 and Moody’s “Baa2” in December 2021.

2.3.2 Prima AFP

(I) Prima AFP Overview

Credicorp conducts its pension fund business through Prima AFP, the second largest player in the Pensions business in Peru, which operates through individual capitalization accounts and provides its affiliates with retirement, disability, survival, and burial benefits. For this purpose, Prima AFP collects affiliates’ mandatory and voluntary contributions, and invests the funds in local and foreign financial markets. The funds that Prima AFP holds in custody for its affiliates are non-attachable and are autonomous assets, which are not affected by Prima AFP’s financial results. Prima AFP offers four types of funds, which differ by risk profile and the asset classes in which they invest. The investment and risk management policies are defined by internal committees and supervised by the SBS and the SMV.

For further information see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (5) Competition – 5.3 Insurance & Pensions – 5.3.2 Prima AFP” and “Item 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and regulation – 6.2. Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru.”

In 2021, Peruvian companies continued to face new challenges due to high political uncertainty and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Private Pension System was impacted by the Peruvian government approval of new laws that allowed clients to withdraw part of their funds, as well as reducing from 55 to 50 the age to access early retirement.

Despite these developments, during 2021 Prima AFP continued to focus on:

(i)

Digitalization of the client’s service model by improving its digital channels and digitalizing several services to give its customers a better experience.

(ii)

Execution of infrastructure and technology projects by launching a virtual self-service platform for client operations.

Content

(iii)

Strengthening cybersecurity by executing an investment plan to reduce the risk of cyberattacks and protect our clients.

(iv)

Improving efficiency by optimizing processes and structures and controlling expenses.

(v)

Operating under an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) model with special attention on (i) responsible investing, (ii) building trust through transparency and simplicity, and (iii) educating society on the private pension system.

COVID-19 Management

Prima AFP served more than S/9.2 billion in fund withdrawals in 2021. As a result, our number of service requests increased significantly, reaching nearly 9 times higher than the previous year, going from an average of 120,000 monthly handled requests in 2020 to an average of 1,000,000 monthly handled requests in 2021. However, to continue providing the best experience to our customers, we worked on processes that helped increase our communications with clients.

Distribution Channels

Digital channels

•

Prima AFP’s App: Thanks to our clients’ migration to digital channels, more than 6 million sessions were initiated in Prima AFP’s mobile app in 2021, compared to 8 million in 2020. This decrease is due to the fact that in 2021 the number of affiliates who had a balance available for withdrawal was lower.

•

Prima AFP’s Web: In 2021, more than 1 million sessions were initiated through Prima AFP’s web page, compared to 2 million in 2020. Users can use the web page to check contributions; find details on fund movements and balances; and request a change in fund risk level.

Physical channels

•

Branches: Prima has 15 offices nationwide. Nevertheless, since March 2020, all offices have been closed to the public due to government measures in the context of COVID-19.

2.4 Investment Banking & Wealth Management

Credicorp Capital carries out its investment banking and wealth management operations in the Latin America region through Credicorp Capital Peru, Credicorp Capital Colombia, Credicorp Capital Chile, Credicorp Capital US and ASB Bank Corp., which hold a considerable market share in the Peruvian, Colombian, Chilean, and Panamanian markets, respectively.

Content

In 2018, we created the Investment Banking & Wealth Management LoB by adding BCP Stand-alone’s Wealth Management Division and ASB to Credicorp Capital to operate as a single regional wealth management model within one business unit. This new structure facilitates sharing of best practices and delivery of a regional value proposition, with ASB supporting all wealth management business units and clients (instead of focusing on Peru-based wealth management customers).

In 2019, Credicorp Capital completed the acquisition of Ultraserfinco and its subsidiaries, a leading financial services company licensed to operate as a broker-dealer in Colombia. In June 2020, the merger with Credicorp Capital Colombia concluded successfully. In February 2021, the merger between Credicorp Capital Securities (CSI) and Ultralat, a broker-dealer and financial advisor in the U.S., also concluded successfully. This allowed our Wealth Management business to expand in Colombia, in addition to the possibility of building a robust Capital Markets and Wealth Management Platform in the U.S.

With operations in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Panama and the United States, we are consolidating our leadership position through four main business units: Asset Management, Capital Markets, Corporate Finance and Wealth Management, with ASB Bank Corp. as our banking operation in Panama that supports our Wealth Management business, consolidates some of our Capital Markets Trading Strategies and increasingly provides its balance sheet to support our Corporate Finance business unit.

Asset Management

Through our regional platform, our Asset Management business unit offers a wide array of products, including mutual funds, alternative funds, and portfolio management, as well as structured products to a broad base of clients, including those in our retail, private and high-net-worth, corporate, and institutional segments. We also act as a third-party distributor in Latin America, representing other global asset managers.

Capital Markets

Our capital markets business unit has an active role in secondary markets, particularly equity and fixed-income products, as well as exchange rate products and derivatives. Our participation in the placement of equity and debt instruments, vis-à-vis our corporate finance team, is also active, especially for corporate issuances in local markets. We also have proprietary investments, with trading books managed in Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Panama.

Content

Corporate Finance

Our corporate finance business unit provides advisory services for the structuring of mid- and long-term financing and the structuring and placement of equity and fixed-income instruments in capital markets. It also offers a wide range of financial advisory services and advisory services for mergers and acquisitions.

Wealth Management

We run a financial and investment advisory model tailored to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals under a comprehensive value proposition where we offer our clients a broad range of products (including investment advisory, investment management, long-term financial planning, banking services, and credit solutions), an expert advisory model (in which a single relationship manager coordinates the various financial services for their clients) and a multi-platform network that provides access to local, regional and international markets, including the United States.

Distribution Channels

•

Call center: Through a specialized team, we serve and advise our Capital Market clients in the intermediation of fixed income and variable income securities in Peru, Colombia, and Chile.

(3) Corporate compliance and ethics

Our Compliance and Ethics management system is a key enabler in Credicorp’s sustainability framework. We meet the needs both of our businesses and stakeholders through: (i) ensuring the clarity of the terms and conditions of financial products and services, (ii) providing a framework and monitoring it to ensure a good work environment and equal opportunities for all employees, and (iii) ensuring the responsibility and integrity through all our businesses.

Content

Credicorp and all its subsidiaries, using a comprehensive approach based on international best practices and our principles and ethical values, have established 11 corporate compliance and ethics programs that cover local and international regulations and mitigate conduct risks by encouraging ethical behavior in order to protect the reputation of the corporation. These programs are the following:

•

Anti-money laundering and Counter financing of terrorism (AML/CFT)

•

Financial stability

•

Fiscal transparency (FATCA & CRS)

•

Regulatory compliance

•

Ethics and conduct

•

Anti-corruption

•

Market abuse prevention

•

Personal data protection

•

Occupational safety and health

•

Market Conduct

•

Antitrust (implementation started at the end of 2021 and is expected to be completed by 2022)

The programs listed above are under the oversight of the Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer who has full autonomy to carry out functions and duties independently. The Chief reports directly to our Board of Directors through the Sustainability Committee, providing regular and consolidated reports about the performance of the compliance and ethics programs at all our subsidiaries. Each subsidiary has a Compliance and Ethics Officer, who works with a specialized team and reports to the head office.

Anti-money laundering and Counter financing of terrorism (AML/CFT)

Through this program, we manage all the procedures and policies related to the risks of entrance or movement of money from illicit activities. In 2021, we continued to face the COVID-19 pandemic and the presence of new digital businesses. In this increasingly dynamic context, we have adapted our customer experience and services to all our stakeholders with effective policies, guidelines, and robust AML controls, in order to meet the new demands that are defined by an intensive use of the technology as a preferred form of connection. Therefore, we are strongly committed in working with innovative technologies for these new business models that present additional challenges for the traditional KYC (Know Your Customer) strategies.

Furthermore, all of Credicorp’s subsidiaries have continued to manage the AML/CFT program based on key KRI (Key Risk Indicators), aiming for a solid governance, searching for efficiencies, identifying automation opportunities, and using technology & analytics. We continue directing our efforts to minimize risks, meet our client’s needs and develop fast and efficient processes that help us achieve our business key goals.

Content

Financial stability

The Financial Stability Program supports our compliance with the applicable regulations derived from the U.S. Dodd-Frank, Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the European Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive. During 2021, we focused on carrying out actions for the exchange of information with counterparts regarding the regulations that make up the Financial Stability Program. Also, the necessary actions were taken to comply with the requirements of Initial Margin Rules.

Fiscal Transparency

The Fiscal Transparency Unit within Credicorp oversees the implementation of two international regulations, the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS), which are the global standards for the automatic exchange of financial information between governments and contributes to the global effort against tax evasion and increased collection through exchange of financial information among participating countries. These standards apply to all of Credicorp’s financial institutions. Understanding FATCA and CRS requirements and having a comprehensive tax transparency compliance program are essential for financial institutions to limit non-compliance risk and meet the obligations set out by applicable country Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the commitments signed with Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As an example, in 2021, Credicorp sent more than 80 FATCA and CRS reports to the tax authorities of a total of eight countries, which demonstrates our commitment to international standards for the prevention of tax evasion. This process begins at the moment that the customer is enrolled in our systems and the related Know Your Customer due diligence processes are commenced.

FATCA at Credicorp: Credicorp has investment vehicles located in countries under IGA Model I (Bahamas, Luxembourg, Colombia, the Cayman Islands and Panama), IGA Model II (Bermuda and Chile), and General Regulation (Bolivia and EE.UU.). Obligations include complying with client due diligence, client annual reporting and financial counterparties exchange of status information. Peru still holds the status of “agreement in substance” while the Peruvian government and the U.S. Department of the Treasury continue with the negotiations to sign an IGA Model I. Given this status, in 2018 Peru’s Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) announced that the Annual Client Reporting obligation would be on hold while negotiations continue. However, all Peruvian financial institutions must comply with all other FATCA obligations.

CRS at Credicorp: Credicorp has financial institutions located in countries that started CRS implementation in 2016 (Colombia, the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg), 2017 (Panama and Chile) and 2019 (Peru). In the countries that adopted CRS in 2016 and 2017, our main activities will continue to focus on (i) keeping the information of our clients and counterparts updated, (ii) sending annual reports to tax authorities and (iii) completing the certifications and audits according to the laws applicable to each country.

In Peru, the implementation of CRS is part of the mandatory requirements of the OECD to grant full membership status to Peru. Therefore, all Credicorp financial institutions in Peru, including BCP, Grupo Pacifico, Mibanco, Prima AFP, Credicorp Capital Bolsa, Credicorp Capital Fondos, and Credicorp Capital Titulizadora; are obliged to comply. As part of these commitments, our Peruvian companies submitted their first annual report to the Superintendence of Tax Administration of Peru (Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administración Tributaria de Peru or SUNAT by its Spanish initials), the Peruvian Tax Authority in 2021.

Regulatory compliance

At Credicorp and its subsidiaries, we are committed to complying and following external legal mandates set forth by regulatory entities, such as the SBS or the relevant governments. We ensure the implementation of all the regulatory framework applicable to each of the companies, using methodologies with a comprehensive approach based on risk and international best practices in order to reduce risks that would arise from regulatory noncompliance, like sanctions and reputational risks. Over the last two years, the number of laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines applicable to our business has increased due to COVID-19 pandemic, and we have worked to implement our regulatory obligations while remaining committed to the success of our clients, employees, and other stakeholders.

Ethics and conduct

This program manages our Corporate Code of Ethics (the Code) and complementary Ethics Policies to provide guidelines for employees to avoid misconduct and provide tools to properly manage potential conflict of interest scenarios. It is also responsible for the operations of our international “Alerta GenEtica” ethics and compliance hotline.

The Code, approved by the Board of Directors, is the conduct reference for Directors and employees, who must comply with it each year. The Code is reviewed periodically, but in 2021 we started a key project to renew our commitment with our stakeholders by updating our Code, which is presented in our corporate webpage. Our Board of Directors, senior management, employees, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders participated actively in the process, in order to ensure a dynamic and transparent document that reflects our corporate values and current beliefs, such as responsible financial inclusion, human rights, diversity and gender equity, among others

To manage potential conflict of interests, Directors and employees must submit relevant information periodically, including their outside business activities. We also have policies to manage operations between Credicorp’s related parties, where relevant transactions are disclosed to the Sustainability Committee and to other stakeholders. In 2021, we updated the guidelines to manage potential conflicts of interest and held 3 multidisciplinary workshops to identify risks in critical processes, allowing us to strengthen our controls. We also continuously foster awareness of our “Alerta GenEtica” ethics and compliance hotline through communication campaigns and training and encourage stakeholders to use the hotline.

Anti-corruption

Credicorp has a Corporate Compliance System based on international standards, which allows us to develop procedures that ensure compliance with anti-corruption regulatory requirements and maintain responsible businesses to offer our clients legal and reputational support.

At Credicorp, we are committed to maintain honest, transparent, and corruption-free businesses. In this sense, we strictly comply with the anti-corruption and anti-bribery legislation of the countries or markets where we operate. In addition, we have a Corporate Policy for the Prevention of Corruption and Bribery, which is aligned with the requirements of foreign (FCPA – U.S. and UKBA - United Kingdom) and Peruvian regulations, such as Law No. 30424, which regulates the administrative liability of legal persons.

As part of the efforts of the Anti-Corruption Program, BCP Stand-alone obtained the international certification ISO 37001 - Anti-Bribery Management System. As an organization, we are willing to implement and follow the best practices and international standards. For this reason, we have certified 5 key processes with ISO 37001, which are:

•

Regulatory Affairs Management

•

Commercial Management of Institutional Banking

•

Selection and Management of External Law Firms in the Legal Division and Labor Relations.

•

Centralized Purchases

•

Municipal Operations Management

In 2021, BCP Stand-alone obtained the Anti-Bribery Certification from the Empresarios por la Integridad organization in Peru, which uses an audit-based process to demonstrate compliance with anti-bribery requirements at the entity-wide level.

Market abuse prevention

Through Credicorp’s Market Abuse Prevention program, guidelines and controls are established to prevent insider trading and market manipulation.

In 2021, we continued to perform risk assessments in two of our subsidiaries, that allowed us to assess the risks of the program and generate a plan to reduce them. We were able to implement guidelines and controls to mitigate risks of insider trading and market manipulation in our Universal Banking business. Furthermore, Pacifico Seguros claimed compliance with the Asset Manager Code of the CFA Institute, being the 4th subsidiary of Credicorp to comply with the code, along with Prima AFP, Credicorp Capital Peru, and Credicorp Capital Chile.

Personal data protection

At our companies, we strive to protect and ensure the privacy of our users’ personal information. We guarantee absolute confidentiality and use the highest security standards in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Law N° 29733 and the related regulation, approved by Supreme Decree, No. 003-2013-JUS (“rules to protect personal information”).

Our companies, as so-called personal data bank owners, must comply with these rules’ guiding principles for the protection of personal data. Also, as personal data bank owners, we are required to secure the consent of the personal data owners to process and transfer their personal data, taking into account the provisions of the Personal Data Protection Statutes, which are part of Credicorp’s internal compliance policy.

We must ensure the exercise of protected rights that may be exercised by the personal data owner. To this end, we must make available channels, procedures and information to tend to these requests within the timeframes established under the Personal Data Protection Statutes and the rules.

Consequently, our corporate personal data protection policy has the following goals:

Establishing general guidelines for the processing and transfer of personal data of stakeholders such as employees, users, customers and suppliers of all our companies.

Ensuring that our companies comply with the Personal Data Protection Statutes.

Advise all employees of our companies of the impact of non-compliance with the applicable standards of personal data protection.

Occupational safety and health

Credicorp has an Occupational Health and Safety Program, which aims to maintain and ensure safe and healthy environments for all employees, suppliers, customers, and visitors, in order to avoid work accidents and occupational diseases. In 2021, as the pandemic continued, we sustained the measures and controls to mitigate contagion, managing to limit the impact of the new waves and making the confinement measures more flexible through various control activities, such as training to prevent contagion by using safety equipment properly. We also continued to improve the processes, such as inspections to verify controls and identify unsafe conditions, investigation of undesirable events, among others. As a result, we were able to reduce reported accidents by 16% compared to 2020. In 2022, we will continue with the activities focused on preventing COVID-19, as well as the other maintenance activities of the Occupational Health and Safety Program.

Market conduct

Credicorp’s market conduct program is aimed at promoting good business practices with customers, mitigating the risk of marketing and design of products that do not meet the needs of clients, ensuring the information transparency, giving clarity of the terms and conditions of financial products and services and, to properly manage the attention of claims. These actions allow us to encourage ethical behavior, in order to protect the reputation of the corporation and achieving sustainable relationships with our customers.

During 2021, we implemented new regulatory requirements, such as Peru’s Credit Reprogramming regulation, which provides facilities to customers who had difficulties paying their debts during the pandemic, and Peru’s Usury Law Regulation, which establishes maximum interest rates for consumer products, eliminates certain commissions and requires that borrowers be presented with a choice of credit life insurance with redemption or return of premium. In addition, we have been part of the great effort to implement more digital channels and new initiatives that facilitate marketing and customer service.

Antitrust

In 2021, Credicorp strengthened its commitment to free competition in the markets where it operates, through the implementation of the Antitrust Compliance Program. The goal is to implement actions through policies and operating controls to prevent, detect and remedy any anticompetitive behavior, complying regulations in this matter, under a prevention model described in Compliance Guide of Peru’s National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (Instituto Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia y de la Proteccion de la Propiedad Intelectual or INDECOPI by its Spanish initials).

BCP Stand-alone executed a consultant project with EY Peru, with the main objectives of (i) creating an Antitrust Risk Matrix, and (ii) setting the actions plans to implement the Antitrust Compliance Program. Through the project, 18 risks were identified, none of which was considered to be at a RHC (Relevant, High, Critical) level. EY recommended nine controls related to multiple bank processes and eleven action plans related to implementation of the compliance program. The Antitrust Compliance Program started during October 2021.

Besides BCP Stand-alone, three other companies (Pacifico, Prima and Mibanco) will begin their own Antitrust Compliance Programs in 2022.

(4) Internal Audit

In 2021, our internal audit unit focused on creating a permanent risk-based framework to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of Credicorp’s risk management, control, and governance processes. The unit’s objectives are improving and protecting the corporation’s value through an agile and timely independent assessment, as well as data-based consulting and risk analysis. For this purpose, our internal audit unit formulated the Annual Audit Plan using a risk-based audit methodology, which is aligned with the rules of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and approved by the SBS. Based on industry-specific concerns, topics related to data analytics, cybersecurity and agility were given special attention and therefore addressed the audit management strategy. For 2022, we will introduce “Innovation” as a fourth pillar of our strategy.

Content

During 2021, for the eleventh consecutive year, an internal evaluation was conducted in compliance with Standard 1311 of the IIA. During this evaluation, we received the qualification of “General Compliance” (the highest qualification rating provided by the IIA) due in part to our Quality Assurance and Improvement Program. The evaluation also verified that our internal audit function complies with the International Standards for Professional Practice, Fundamental Principles and the IIA Code of Ethics. For the year 2022, we plan to a) conduct an external quality assessment performed by the IIA Global and b) deploy the Internal Audit Ambition Model, which is a tool that helps to assess level of Internal Audit Functions and determine the ambition level, as recommended by the Institute of Internal Auditors Netherland´s.

During 2021, our Chief Internal Auditor completed his term as Chairman of the Financial Services Guidance Committee of the IIA, whose mission is to strategically direct the development of the International Framework for Professional Practice of Internal Auditing to support the advancement of the professional auditing practice in the global financial services industry by identifying, prioritizing, launching and, ultimately, approving guidelines specifically geared to the special needs of internal auditors who provide services to the financial services industry. In July 2021, he has become a member of the Board of IIA Global, the highest governing body of the institution. The Board is composed of 17 representatives of the different chapters of the Institute, and they were elected during the IIA’s Annual Business Meeting. Furthermore, during the year, Grupo Pacifico’s Chief Auditor continued as Chairman of the Lima Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), and participated with our Chief Auditor on behalf of Credicorp, with counterparts from various peer universal banking institutions from various Latin-American countries, in the Agility Internal Audit Committee - Latin American Banks of the Latin American Foundation of Internal Auditors (Fundación Latinoamericana de Auditores Internos or FLAI by its Spanish initials), a self-organized group composed by the internal audit function of those banks.

Consistent with recommended industry practices, Credicorp continued to apply the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) of the U.S. Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) to its operations. In addition, Credicorp implemented a centralized methodology to apply data analytics in a coordinated and integrated manner and also began to apply a decentralized data analytics model following best practices and promoted the use of Agile audit methodology guidelines.

In 2021, we achieved important advances in two of the main action fronts of Data Analytics: the construction of analytical models that allow us to identify suspicious transactions or transactions with a greater probability of error, and the digitization of audit tests, which may reduce the time incurred during the review.

During 2021, we continue auditing agile tables, under a risk-based methodology that seeks to evaluate the correct application of agile methodologies in the corporation, especially in the relevant domains of IT security and cybersecurity.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Credicorp’s internal audit function was able to fulfill its annual plan remotely, due to the technical facilities deployed by the different companies of the group. In this field, special methodologies were developed for remote visits to agencies that serve our clients.

In 2021, we provided 20,657 hours of training to our internal auditors, with an average of 89 hours per auditor (above the 40 hours per auditor recommended by international practices) in topics related to fraud prevention, IFRS 9, new cybersecurity frameworks such as those promulgated by the IIA, NIST or the FFIEC, internal quality assessment, data analytics, risk management, programming language, anti-money laundering, validation of models and other topics of financial and operational audit.

As of December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone ranked first among all Peruvian multiple banks by assets, deposits, and loans, according to the SBS.

As of December 31, 2021, the principal Peruvian non-state financial institutions reported total loan balances of S/259,007 million in local currency and of US$22,830 million in foreign currency (in comparison to S/243,371 million and US$22,825 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively). These figures represented an expansion of local currency loan balances of 6.4% and an expansion 0.1% in foreign currency loan balances from December 31, 2020 (compared to an expansion of 21.5.% and contraction of 11.8%, respectively, from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020). As a result, the dollarization of loans reached 26% as of December 31, 2021 (compared to 25.4% as of December 31, 2020 and 30.0% as of December 31, 2019).

As of December 31, 2021, Peru’s total amount of multiple banking deposits were S/331,259 million, and the multiple banking dollarization rate for deposits was 43.0% (compared to 37.9% as of December 31, 2020 and 38.9% as of December 31, 2019). As part of its plan to decrease the dollarization level of loans in the Peruvian financial system, in order to reduce the risks of currency depreciation associated with borrowing in US Dollars, the BRCP established a de-dollarization program beginning in January 2015. For further information, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru – (i) Peruvian Regulators”.

Peru’s capital ratio (regulatory capital divided by risk-weighted assets (RWAs) was 14.92% as of December 31, 2021, which was above the 10% legal minimum that became effective in July 2011 and represented a decrease of 53 basis points from the capital ratio reported as of December 31, 2020 (15.52%). In 2020, the ratio increased by 95 basis points from a ratio of 14.57% as of December 31, 2019.

Peru’s loan portfolio quality indicators generally improved in 2021. As of December 31, 2021, internal overdue ratio reached 3.77%, 3 basis points below than the ratio reported as of December 31, 2020 (3.80%). As of 2020, the ratio had increased 78 basis points compared to December 31, 2019 (3.02%). Also, the internal overdue, refinanced, and re-structured loans over total loans ratio was 5.65% as of December 31, 2021, 13 basis points higher than the figure reported at year-end 2020, 5.52% (compared to 4.46% in 2019). Similarly, the coverage ratio of Peru’s internal overdue loan portfolio was 155.4% as of December 31, 2021 (compared to 177.7% as of December 31, 2020 and 152.1% as of December 31, 2019).

The liquidity of the Peruvian banking system remained at relatively high levels. As of December 31, 2021, the local currency liquidity ratio and the foreign currency liquidity ratio were 33.7% and 51.4%, respectively (compared to 52.2% and 49.2% in 2020 and to 27.0% and 49.6% in 2019, respectively). The decrease in the local currency liquidity ratio is consistent with bank customer drawing down their deposits as economy reactivated. These liquidity ratio levels were well above the minimum required by SBS regulations (8% for local currency, which will return to 10% on March 2022, and 25% for foreign currency).

(ii) Other financial institutions

BCP Stand-alone also faced a strong competition from credit providers, aside banking institutions, primarily with respect to consumer loans and SME-Pyme loans. SME-Pyme loan providers from other financial institutions, lent S/22.2 billion to borrowers in 2021, compared to S/19.7 billion in 2020, and S/17.3 billion in 2019, according to the SBS. In 2021, overall SME-Pyme loans to customers of other financial institutions represented 19.8% of the total loans in the Peruvian financial system (compared to 18.0% in 2020 and 22.8% in 2019).

Consumer loan providers from other financial institutions lent S/13.4 billion to borrowers in 2021, compared to S/14.0 billion in 2020 and S/15.1 billion in 2019, according to the SBS. In 2021, overall loans to consumers of other financial institutions represented 19.4% of total loans in the financial system (compared to 21.2% in 2020 and 21.2% in 2019).

(iii) Recent Competitive Developments

In recent years, several foreign companies have shown interest in entering the Peruvian universal banking market while financial companies already in Peru have taken steps to expand operations and develop new businesses. In addition, non-traditional players, such as fintech and startup companies, began to operate in the financial sector in recent years. These new strong competitors may affect adversely our results as they set and provide similar products and services. In particular, the following authorizations and applications from and to the SBS may be significant to our competitive environment in Peru:

(1)

In November 2019, the SBS modified the credit and debit card regulations given the current context of technological innovation that has been transforming the business models. This new regulation is focused on ensuring a responsible offer, changing the definition of a traditional credit and debit card, and improving their security.

(2)

In December 2019, BCP won a contest held by Peru’s Deposit Insurance Fund (Fondo de Seguro de Depósitos), to be the entity in charge of returning the money of Financiera TFC S.A. (TFC) to its clients after the SBS order its closure. For further details about the closure of TFC, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview - (5) Competition – 5.2. Microfinance – 5.2.1 Peruvian microfinance system – Recent competitive developments”. The SBS pointed out that in a first stage the payments will correspond to the savings and term deposits of individuals that do not maintain joint accounts, severance indemnity deposits, or debts with TFC that are covered by the Deposit Insurance Fund.

(3)

In April 2020, the SBS authorized the operation of Bank of China (Peru) S.A. as a multiple operation banking company. Bank of China already has a representative office on Peru.

(4)

In February 2021, the RappiBank digital platform was launched, an alliance between Interbank and Rappi that offers digital financial services such as digital savings accounts, debit cards and credit cards.

(5)

In March 2021, Peruvian congress approved the Usury Law Regulation, which protects consumers of financial services from usury. This law establishes caps on the interest rates charged by the financial institutions, which must be within the limit proposed by the BCRP. Likewise, the rule also prohibits the capitalization of interest and the collection of a penalty or other commission or expense in the event of non-compliance or delay in the payment of the loan.

(6)

In September 2021, the SBS authorized the organization of banking company under the corporate name Banco BCI Perú. It will operate as a subsidiary of the Chilean banking company BCI, which had already agreed to its international expansion in Peru in September 2019.

During 2021, along with our traditional competitors, new technology-driven entities such as fintech and startup companies, showed greater interest in the financial sector, in line with higher digitization under the COVID-19 context. We highlight specific strategic alliances between these and current financial institutions competitors such as: (i) BBVA: Kontigo, (ii) Banco Interamericano de Finanzas: Microwd, and (iii) Interbank: RappiBank and Kambista.

5.2 Microfinance

According to The Economist Intelligence, Peru and Colombia have the most conducive environments for financial inclusion. We are aware that a large portion of microbusiness owners in both countries are currently unbanked, which constitutes an opportunity to contribute to these economies while growing our businesses.

5.2.1 Peruvian microfinance system

As of December 31, 2021, the Peruvian Microfinance System is mainly regulated by the SBS and is comprised of entities that vary in size, client segments, and ambit of geographic action: 1 bank, which is Mibanco; 10 financial firms, 12 municipal savings banks, 6 rural savings banks and 8 development entities for small and microbusinesses (Edpymes). This system also includes 439 savings and loan associations (Cooperativa de Ahorro y Créditos or COOPACS by its Spanish initials), which have small portfolios and target specific geographic areas.

As of December 31, 2021, the Peruvian microfinance system (excluding COOPACS) represented around 69% of the total entities regulated by the Peruvian financial system, with microfinance loans totaling approximately 60.3 billion soles (15% of Peruvian Financial System). As of December 2021, according to the SBS, microfinance customers represented 58.3% of borrowers in the regulated Peruvian financial system.

According to the SBS, as of December 31, 2021, Mibanco led the market for loans in the micro and small business segments regulated by SBS, with shares of 26.6% and 20.6% respectively (compared to 26.6% and 18.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 24.5% and 21.1%, respectively, as of December 31, 2019).

Municipal savings banks are important players in the microfinance system in Peru. In 2021, 12 institutions were operating and represented 49% of the total loans at year-end. The business model used by municipal savings associations is similar to the traditional relational model used by Mibanco, which conducts an on-site cash flow assessment of the customer. The municipal savings associations operate in municipal government ambits, and as such, their ability to innovate and modify products and processes is limited by the existence of multiple layers of approval.

In 2021, in the context of the pandemic, Mibanco worked to keep its portfolio quality in check while acting prudently to manage its internal overdue loan coverage ratio, which was situated at 126.6% in IFRS. In local GAAP, Mibanco’s internal overdue loan coverage ratio was situated at 135.3% and the average for municipal savings banks was situated at 180.8% at the end of December 2021. Mibanco’s global capital ratio was situated at 16.4% at year-end, which far exceed the 14.5% reported by municipal savings associations at the end of December 2020. Furthermore, in 2021, Mibanco presented profitability indicators higher than those shown by the Municipal Savings Banks system, registering a ROE of 8.3% that exceeded the 3.1% reported by the municipal savings banks system.

Recent competitive developments

The most relevant news and developments in the Peruvian microfinance sector from 2019 to 2021 were:

•

In January 2019, Law No. 30822 (COOPAC Law) went into effect, which created a registry of cooperatives that operate in the market and set up the cooperative deposit insurance fund. This law gives the SBS oversight powers, which utilize a modular scheme that considers the business’s size and assets.

•

In November 2019, through Resolution SBS N° 5646-2019, the coverage for insurance fund deposits was extended to COOPACS Coverage maximums are S/5,000 or S/10,000, depending on the cooperative’s size and assets; the objective is to protect members’ savings.

•

In December 2019, the SBS ordered the closure of TFC, after its effective equity level fell more than 50% in 12 months. TFC operated in the microfinance sector and most of its loan funding was for the medium, mortgage and small business segments. In January 2020, through Urgent Decree No. 013-2020, new regulation was issued to advance efforts to fund microbusinesses by introducing a regulatory framework that contemplates establishing crowdfunding platforms to finance entrepreneurial projects, micro and small-sized companies, and startups in Peru.

In 2020, most of the developments and regulations affecting the Peruvian microfinance were related to government relief measures in the context of COVID-19. In March 2020, through Multiple Resolution (Oficio Multiple) No. 11170-2020-SBS, the SBS authorized entities in the financial system to modify loan contracts to extend grace periods for borrowers. This allowed clients to repay debts over longer periods without generating the usual black marks on credit histories that are generated when grace periods expire. For more information, please refer to the following section: ITEM 3 KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our business and results of operations may continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control.

•

In December 2020, through Multiple Official Letter No. 42138-2020, the SBS provided that, exceptionally and subject to prior authorization, companies in the financial system may reduce their capital stock, legal reserve and/or other equity accounts for the purpose of constituting new specific and/or generic provisions (including voluntary) for their credit portfolio.

•

In March 2021, by means of Ministerial Resolution No. 119-2021-EF/15, the entities of the financial system were authorized to grant guaranteed credits obtained for a single time under the Reactiva Peru Program, with a new grace period of 6 to 12 months, which allows rescheduling in 24 months or, in exceptional cases, in 36 months.

•

In April 2021, through Law No. 31171, dependent workers were authorized to withdraw their Severance Indemnity deposits in order to cover the economic needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. A single withdrawal was allowed and had to be made before December 31, 2021. The withdrawal could be up to 100% of their accumulated Severance Indemnity deposits on the date of disposal.

•

In 2021, the SBS intervened in more than 10 COOPACS that had incurred a cause of total loss of their equity. Among the most important of these COOPACS were AELUCOOP and Credicoop Arequipa. The SBS attributed these losses to mismanagement by its directors, alleged criminal actions committed by them and failure to carry out an adequate analysis of the debtor’s ability to pay.

Recent competitive developments

The most relevant new developments in the Colombian microfinance sector were:

•

The elimination of restrictions on activities of banks and non-bank institutions to allow remote account openings and proportional reductions in due diligence requirements. These changes have allowed financial institutions to open simplified accounts with requirements similar to those imposed on companies that specialize in electronic deposits and payments.

•

In May 2019, Law No. 1955-2019 formally adopted a regulatory approach to the testing environment, which adds to previous regulations, such as Decree No. 1357 of 2018, to facilitate the use of collective financing or “crowdfunding,” and bank investment in financial technology.

•

Electronic payments on existing cash transfer programs such as Families in Action (Familias en Acción or FA by its Spanish initials), Youth in Action (Jóvenes en Acción or JA by its Spanish initials) and Colombia Elderly (Colombia Mayor or CM by its Spanish initials) increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In June 2021, the first bond issue in the Colombian market with a gender focus was launched by Bancamia S.A. The issue had a value of US$54 million and was intended to grant credit to 50,000 women in vulnerable situations.

5.3 Insurance & Pensions

5.3.1

Grupo Pacifico

The Peruvian insurance market, which includes P&C, life, and corporate health insurance market, is comprised of 18 active companies, which 6 are dedicated to P&C and lifelines, 7 exclusively to P&C, and 5 exclusively to life. According to the SBS and SUSALUD, as of December 31, 2021, four companies (Rimac, Grupo Pacifico, La Positiva and Mapfre) represented a combined 80.9% market share in terms of written premiums, and the leading two companies had a combined market share of 57.6%, both according to the SBS.

In 2021, Grupo Pacifico was the second-largest insurance company in Peru in terms of written premiums, with a consolidated market share of 26.7% (compared to 28.9% in 2020), according to the SBS and SUSALUD. Grupo Pacifico had a 14.1% written premium increase from 2020 to 2021, which was lower than the Peruvian average growth of 23.4%, in line with the higher economic activity. However, Grupo Pacifico remains the largest insurance company in the life and health insurance market with 26.7% and 43.5% of market share respectively according to the SBS and SUSALUD.

Grupo Pacifico has a relatively well-diversified product portfolio, with composition comparable to that of the overall Peruvian insurance industry. In contrast to the Latin-American region, Peru maintains a low insurance penetration level: as of December 31, 2020, the region has an insurance penetration level of 3.0%, while Peru´s was 2.3% in 2021, according to the SBS and BCRP.

In 2021, the Peruvian insurance market registered an increase of 25.7% in terms of total direct premiums (S/20,176 million compared to S/16,542 million in 2020), explained by the country’s economic recovery, aligned to lower confinement and social distancing measures to face the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to 2020. This increase is mainly due to the life segment, for which production increased 38.5% from 2020 to 2021, and by the P&C segment, for which production increased 15.1% from 2020 to 2021.

The SBS had initiated a reform to the PPS in September 2013, by establishing a tender process for the exclusive right to manage the PPS’s collective insurance policies for disability and survivorship (D&S) and burial expenses. As a result of the SBS’s reform, these exclusive rights were offered for the collective insurance contract. In 2017 and 2019, Grupo Pacifico won the third and fourth tender process, which allowed the company to continue in the D&S business from 2017 to 2020. Grupo Pacifico won the latest D&S tender process, which allows it to continue in the D&S business from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022.

Life Insurance market

In 2021, written premiums in Peru’s Life insurance market totaled S/9,217.2 million, which represents an increase of 38.5% from 2020, according to the SBS. This was mainly attributable to Annuities (which increased 73.7% from 2020), D&S (which increased 43.7% from 2020), Group life (which increased 40.0% from 2020), Individual life (which increased 26.9% from 2020), and to a lesser extent, Credit life (which increased 4.8% from 2020).

According to the SBS, in 2021, Grupo Pacifico had the largest market share in the Peruvian life insurance market by written premiums (26.7%), which was lower than its market share of 30.0% in 2020. In 2021, Grupo Pacifico’s written premiums increased 23.1% from 2020, lower than Peru’s average growth of 38.5%. The increase in Grupo Pacifico’s written premiums was primarily attributable to D&S (which increased 53.2% from 2020), which experienced higher premium collections under the new SISCO V regimen, via an increase in the premium rate; Annuities (which increased 37.6% from 2020), due to growth in sales of Survivorship Annuities; Individual life (which increased 13.9% from 2020), due to higher sales and an exchange rate effect; Group life (which increased 14.1% from 2020), attributable to statutory life product sales growth; and to Credit life (which increased 3.7% from 2020), mainly driven by the bancassurance channel.

P&C Insurance market

In 2021, the written premiums of Peru’s P&C insurance market totaled S/8,478.3 million, which represents an increase of 15.1% from 2020, according to the SBS. This result was primarily attributable to automobile (which increased 16.2% from 2020), medical assistance (which increased 11.7% from 2020), earthquake insurance (which increased 9.7% from 2020), liability insurance (which increased 30.0% from 2020) and fire risk (which increased 15.2% from 2020).

According to the SBS, Grupo Pacifico had the second largest market share in Peru’s P&C sector, standing at 21.3% in 2021, which is lower than its 22.5% market share in 2020. Grupo Pacifico’s written premiums increased 9.4% from 2020, which is lower than Peru’s average growth rate of 15.1%. Grupo Pacifico’s increase was mainly driven by commercial lines (which increased 15.2% from 2020), due to higher volume of fire, liability insurance and transportation risks policy renewals; medical assistance (which increased 7.8% from 2020), due to growth in premium renewals for comprehensive health and oncological products; and automobile (which increased 1.1% from 2020), due to an increase in renewals in the Brokers and Digital Sales channels.

Corporate Health Insurance and Medical Services market

According to SUSALUD, in 2021, written premiums in Peru’s health insurance market totaled S/2,721 million, which represented an increase of 8.0% compared to the previous year. Based in figures from SUSALUD, Grupo Pacifico had Peru’s largest market share (43.5%) in this market in 2021, compared to 44.8% in 2020.

Prima AFP

The PPS consists of four companies, and Prima AFP is the second largest of the four by funds under management. According to the SBS, as of December 31, 2021, funds under management in the PPS reached S/133.3 billion, of which Prima AFP managed S/40.1 billion. This represented a market share of 30.1%, a decrease compared to its market shares of 30.2% and 31.0% in 2020 and 2019, respectively also according to SBS data.

On December 31, 2021, the PPS reached 8.3 million affiliates, of which 2.3 million were Prima AFP’s customers, this represented a market share of 28.5%, lower than its market shares of 30.3% and 31.7% in 2020 and 2019, respectively, according to the SBS.

Collections in the PPS in 2021 reached S/13.9 billion, of which S/4.0 billion was collected by Prima AFP. This represents a market share of 28.9%, which is lower than its market shares of 31.4% and 35.4% in 2020 and 2019, according to the SBS.

As discussed below under “PPS Reforms”, the Peruvian government began a process of reforming the PPS in 2012 through the passage of the PPS Reform Law. This reform contemplated a tender process to be held every 24 months, in which the AFP that offers the lowest management fee wins the tender. As a result, new workers who enter the PPS become members of the tender holder and remain in it for at least 24 months.

The following table shows the PPS tender processes held to date and their respective winners:

No.	Date Held	Period	Winner

5.4 Investment Banking and Wealth Management

Our Investment Banking and Wealth Management LoB is organized into four main business units: Asset Management, Capital Markets, Corporate Finance, and Wealth Management. In addition, there is a regional Business Support team and a centrally managed Treasury Department.

Asset Management

In Asset Management, Credicorp Capital’s proprietary funds reduced its market share by institutional clients and individuals, driven by significant local outflows in Peru, in a context of high political uncertainty. However, we maintained the leading market position in mutual funds in Peru, with a market share of 30.5% by total market assets under management, according to the SMV. We are also developing alternative funds in real estate, infrastructure, and private debt at a regional level and offer third-party funds from global asset managers to our clients.

Capital Markets

In capital markets, our brokerage house in Peru reaffirmed its leadership, holding the largest market share in equities (31% of traded value) and the second largest in fixed income (41% of traded volume), excluding the volumes outside of the stock market, according to the BVL. Similarly, our brokerage company in Colombia held the largest market share among brokers in equities (20% of traded value) and in fixed income (29% of traded volume) according to the Colombian Stock Exchange. In Chile, we held the fifth largest market share in equities (5%) and the second largest in fixed income proprietary accounts (4%), in terms of traded volume, according to the Santiago Stock Exchange.

Corporate Finance

In Corporate Finance, our teams are mainly recognized in Peru and Chile, while the team in Colombia continues to build up its reputation after a notable performance throughout this year. These teams offer lending and capital markets solutions for corporations’ financing needs and offer them advisory services for mergers and acquisitions.

Wealth Management

In Wealth Management, while the team is consolidated in Peru, we seek to capitalize on the growth opportunity in Colombia and Chile. In this business, we compete in a regional market led by global banks and financial institutions, especially in the ultra-high-net-worth segment.

Other Relevant Businesses

Credicorp Capital also offers trust services to its clients in Peru and Colombia. In Peru, we have a strong leadership position in fiduciary and custody services to retail and institutional clients, but further growth is limited by market size. On the other hand, we have a relatively low market share in fiduciary services in Colombia (less than 5% measured by number of trust deeds), according to the Association of Fiduciaries of Colombia (Asociación de Fiduciarias de Colombia), which also presents us with an opportunity for growth.

(6) Supervision and regulation

6.1 Credicorp

Credicorp Ltd. is an exempted company located in Bermuda. Credicorp maintains a presence and conducts its activities in Peru, Cayman Islands, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Panama, and the United States, through its different LoBs and subsidiaries.

Other than as described under “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION - 3. D Risk Factors - Credicorp, as a Bermuda exempted company, may be adversely affected by any change in Bermuda law or regulation,” there are no applicable regulations under Bermuda law that are likely to materially impact our operations as they are currently structured. Under Bermuda law, there is no regulation applicable to Credicorp as a holding company that would require that we separate the operations of our subsidiaries incorporated and existing outside Bermuda.

Our common shares are listed on the NYSE. We are therefore subject to regulation by the NYSE and the SEC as a “foreign private issuer”. We also must comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

We are subject to certain requirements set forth by Peru’s Law No. 26702, as well as certain banking resolutions issued by the Peruvian banking regulator, the SBS, including SBS Resolution No. 11823-2010, which was enacted in September 2010 and which approved the “Regulation of the Consolidated Supervision of Financial and Mixed Conglomerates”. SBS Resolution No. 11823-2010 was partially amended by SBS Resolutions No. 2945-2013, 1200-2018, 00779-2021 and 01378-2021. These regulations affect us primarily in the areas of reporting, risk control guidelines, limitations, ratios, and capital requirements.

Since our common shares are listed on the BVL in addition to the NYSE, we are subject to certain reporting requirements to the SMV, the Peruvian securities market regulator, and the BVL. See “Item 9. The Offer and Listing – 9.C Markets – (2) Market Regulation”. In the last year, the SMV issued SMV Resolution 016-2019-SMV/01 - “Guidelines for the qualification of Independent Directors”. These Guidelines are not binding rules; they are only recommendations to the issuers listed on the BVL that are under SMV supervision.

(i) Capital Adequacy Requirements

SBS Resolution 11823-2010 established the methodologies for calculating the regulatory capital and capital requirements for financial and mixed conglomerates. Article 4 of SBS Resolution 11823-2010 identifies two categories of consolidated groups: (i) the financial system consolidated group and (ii) the insurance system consolidated group. A combined group of companies formed by these two categories of entities is called a financial group. The financial system consolidated group, the insurance system consolidated group, and the financial group are each required to hold regulatory capital that is greater than or equal to the capital requirements applicable to each respective group.

The capital requirements applicable to the financial group are the sum of the capital requirements applicable to the financial system consolidated group and to the insurance system consolidated group. The capital requirements applicable to the financial system consolidated group and to the insurance system consolidated group are the sum of the capital requirements applicable to the companies that belong to each respective group. For unsupervised companies, regulatory capital is required to be the greater of: (i) 10% of third-party assets or (ii) the ratio of third-party assets over total assets multiplied by the sum of paid-in-capital, legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements net of current and past years’ losses.

118

Article 6 of SBS Resolution 11823-2010, provides that regulatory capital of the consolidated groups comprises the sum of basic capital and supplementary capital and is calculated as follows:

•

Basic Capital: Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital is comprised of:

(i)

(ii)

other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS;

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital include:

(i)

Peruvian Regulators

The Peruvian Central Bank (BCRP)

The BCRP was established in 1922. Pursuant to the Peruvian Constitution, its primary role is to ensure the stability of the Peruvian monetary system. The BCRP regulates Peru’s money supply, administers international reserves, issues currency, targets inflation ranges, determines Peru’s balance of payments and other monetary accounts, and furnishes information regarding the country’s financial situation. It also represents the government of Peru at the IMF and the Latin American Reserve Fund, which is a financial institution intended to provide balance of payments assistance to its member countries by granting credits or guaranteeing loans to third parties.

The highest decision-making authority within the BCRP 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 Peru’s congress. The Chairman of the BCRP is one of the executive branch nominees but must be approved by Peru’s congress.

The BCRP’s 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 BCRP.

Instruments of Monetary Policy

Monetary policy rate

One of the functions of the BCRP is to periodically revise its monetary policy rate (reference interest rate) in accordance with its monetary policy objectives. Once a month, the Board of Directors of the BCRP approves and announces the monetary program through a press release.

The BCRP reference rate went from 2.25% in November 2019 to 0.25% in April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic shock, which represented a new all-time low for Peru’s reference rate. This rate was maintained until July 2021, and, since August 2021, the Central Bank began a series of increases due to the fact that the twelve-month inflation rate and inflation expectations have been increasing since June 2021 above the upper limit of the inflation target range. Additionally, the Central Bank will seek to anchor inflation expectations to the target range, while trying to ensure that the real reference rate is in a neighborhood of 0 positive, which as of April 2022 is (0.11%).

The following table summarizes the reference interest rate changes from August 2019 to April 2022:

Changes in BCRP’s reference interest rate (August 2019 - April 2022)

Reserve requirement for domestic currency

The Central Bank resolved to increase the minimum legal reserve of 5.00% in January 2022 to 5.25% in February 2022, to 5.50% in March 2022, to 5.75% in April 2022 and to 6.00% from May 2022, of the total obligations subject to reserve requirements. These measures seek to support monetary sterilization mechanisms and strengthen the liquidity levels of entities subject to reserve requirements with a view to preserving monetary stability.

Reserve requirement for foreign currency

Reserve requirement funds are composed solely of (i) cash in foreign currency that the Reserved Entity keeps in cash, in its offices in the country, and (ii) deposits in current accounts in dollars of the United States of America, which the Reserve Subject Entity maintains in the Central Bank with a minimum level equivalent to 3.0% of the total obligations subject to reserve requirements.

(i)

Minimum legal reserve and additional reserve. The BCRP, as of March 19, 2021, resolved to modify the additional reserve requirements based on the evolution of total credit and vehicle and mortgage consumer credit in currency foreign. These measures are intended to continue promoting a process of gradual reduction in credit dollarization. Entities Subject to Reserve Requirements must maintain a minimum legal reserve requirement of 9% for the total of its obligations subject to reserves. The required reserve that exceeds the minimum legal is called additional reserve.

(ii)

Required reserves for obligations subject to the general regime. Obligations that exceed the amount of the Base (marginal obligations) are subject to a rate of 35%. Also, the obligations of the companies that become part of the Entities Subject to Reserve, will be subject to a reserve rate of 35%.

(iii)

Obligations subject to the special regime and their required reserves.

Obligations with average terms equal to or less than 2 years with foreign financial entities have a required reserve rate of 9%.

Indexed Obligations have a required reserve rate of 9%.

External lines of credit to finance foreign trade operations, up to an amount equivalent to 40% of the effective equity as of December 31 of the last year published by the SBS of the Entity Subject to Reserve Requirements are not subject to reserve requirements. The excess is subject to the reserve requirement rate of 9%.

(iv)

Additional reserve based on the evolution of credit in foreign currency.

Due to the evolution of total credit in foreign currency. For entities subject to cash reserves that at the end of the period have an average daily balance of credits (excluding the average balance of credits for foreign trade and the average balance of credits granted as of January 1, 2015 for a term greater than 3 years exceeding an amount of US$10 million) greater than or equal to US$200 million, an additional reserve is established if, during the reserve period, its average daily balance of total credits (excluding the average balance of credits for foreign trade and the average balance of credits granted as of January 1, 2015 for a term greater than 3 years that exceed an amount of US$10 million) exceeds the average daily balance of credits in foreign currency of December 2018 (excluding the average balance of credits for foreign trade and the average balance of credits granted as of January 1, 2015 for a term greater than 3 years that exceed an amount of US$10 million) plus 30% of the accumulated flow of the average credit in national currency compared to December 2018, excluding from said flow that corresponding to mortgage, consumer and foreign trade credit. The accumulated flow resulting from the average credit in national currency is considered for the calculation of the limit, as long as it is positive. For the conversion to dollars of this flow, the accounting exchange rate at the end of the 2018 period, published by the SBS, will be used.

Due to the evolution of consumer credit for vehicles and mortgages in foreign currency. The Entities Subject to Reserves whose average daily balance of total vehicle and mortgage consumer loans exceeds 90% of the balance reached as of December 31, 2018 or 6% of their effective equity last published by the SBS, whichever is higher, will be subject to an additional reserve equivalent to 15% of the percentage deviation with respect to the limit, which will be applied to total liabilities in foreign currency.

As a note, it is important to mention that the “marginal reserve rate” was used for the last time on June 28, 2018. Since 2019, this term has no longer been used.

Repo operations to promote debt payment reschedules at lower interest rates and longer terms. Since June 2020, with these new Operations, the companies of the financial system can temporarily sell to the Central Bank first quality securities, including those representative of the credit portfolio, or foreign currency and, in the same operation, commit to repurchase them at the established maturity. This operation is carried out only when the companies of the financial system comply with refinancing an amount of loans with their clients, at least in an amount equivalent to that assigned in the Operations. For this purpose, they may also include credits purchased from other financial institutions, offering the end customer a rescheduling of the original conditions. These rescheduling must be for a period of no less than 6 months and at interest rates lower than those originally agreed. In this way, debtors will benefit from the reduction in interest rates on their credits, thus reflecting the reduction in the reference rate of the BCRP’s monetary policy and the lower interest rates achieved by the Reactiva Peru Program for new credits. It should be noted that the rescheduling of debt payments is voluntary, but it is estimated that this new BCRP operation will generate a coordination effect whereby the rescheduling will be extended to all financial entities. Likewise, these operations will allow companies and families to recover more quickly from the substantial drop-in economic activity and employment.

Currency Repurchase Agreements (known as Repo) and Swaps conditioned to the expansion of long-term credit. Since December 2020, BCRP has incorporated Operations Conditional on the Expansion of Long-Term Credit as part of its monetary instruments with the aim of promoting the transmission of its monetary policy towards long-term interest rates. Financial entities that grant new business and mortgage loans in national currency with a term greater than or equal to 3 years, will be able to access Repos and Interest Rate Swaps, for the equivalent of the accumulated amount of the credits granted by the financial entity to as of January 1, 2021. This amount will include the purchase of debts to other financial entities with the characteristics of the aforementioned credits and will exclude rescheduled or refinanced credits. The Interest Rate Swaps will be placed through auctions and may have terms between 3 and 7 years, while the Repos Transactions will be carried out through direct operations and may have terms between 1 and 3 years. The BCRP will charge a fixed interest rate in national currency for Repos, which will be established in the corresponding call.

Repos with negotiable invoices. In December 2020, the BCRP created a reporting operations facility with negotiable invoices for 1 and 2 month terms. Through this facility, financial entities will be able to temporarily sell to the BCRP negotiable invoices registered in CAVALI, instruments that are preferably used by MYPES to finance their working capital operations. With this, it is expected that the offer of discount operations of negotiable invoices will increase, and the interest rates for these operations will be reduced, in a manner consistent with the expansionary position of the monetary policy.

The Superintendence of Banks, Insurance and Pension Funds (SBS)

The SBS is the regulatory authority in charge of, supervising and regulating all financial, insurance and pension fund institutions in Peru. Peru’s Constitution and Law No. 26702, which contains the statutory charter of the SBS, grant the SBS the authority to oversee and control banks and financial institutions (apart from brokerage firms, which are regulated by the SMV), insurance and reinsurance companies, companies that receive deposits from the general public, AFPs and other similar entities as defined by Law No. 26702. The SBS is also responsible for supervising the BCRP to ensure that it abides by its statutory charter and Bye-laws.

The SBS has administrative, financial, and operating autonomy. Its objectives include protecting the public interest, ensuring the financial stability of the institutions over which it has authority and punishing violators of its regulations. Its responsibilities include: (i) reviewing and approving, with the assistance of the BCRP, the establishment and organization of subsidiaries of the institutions it regulates; (ii) overseeing mergers, dissolutions and reorganization 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 holding companies that are not banks, such as Credicorp); (iv) reviewing the Bye-laws and amendments to Bye-laws of these companies; (v) issuing criteria governing the transfer of bank shares, when permitted by law, for valuation of assets and liabilities and for minimum capital requirements; and (vi) controlling the bank’s 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 banks). The SBS is also responsible for setting criteria for the establishment of financial or mixed conglomerates in Peru and for supervising these entities. As a result, in addition to its supervision of BCP Stand-alone, Mibanco, Grupo Pacifico and Prima AFP, the SBS also supervises Credicorp Ltd. because Credicorp Ltd. is a financial conglomerate conducting most of its operations in Peru.

The Superintendence of the Securities Market (SMV)

The SMV is the Peruvian government institution in charge of: (i) promoting the securities markets, (ii) making sure fair competition takes place in the securities markets, (iii) supervising the management of businesses that trade in the securities markets, and (iv) regulating such businesses’ activities and accounting practices. The SMV enjoys functional, administrative, economic, technical, and budgetary autonomy relative to other branches of the Peruvian government. Financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, pension funds and brokerage firms must inform the SMV of significant events that affect their business and are required to provide financial statements to both the SMV and the BVL each quarter. Those institutions are also regulated by the SMV when they conduct operations in the local Peruvian securities market.

National Institute for the Defense of Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI)

INDECOPI regulates the protection of the consumer’s rights. This regulation is stated in Peru’s Law No. 29571. INDECOPI has the authority to issue fines to financial institutions if they violate the laws and regulations regarding protection of the consumer rights.

National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (ANPDP)

The ANPDP regulates the protection of personal data in Peru. The primary governing regulation for the ANPDP is Peru’s Law No. 29733. ANPDP has the authority to issue fines to financial institutions that violate the laws and regulations regarding personal data protection.

(ii) Supervised Institutions

Under Peruvian law, financial institutions are classified as universal banks, insurance companies, pension funds, finance companies and other financial institutions such as small business finance companies, savings and loan corporations, financial services companies, investment banks, mutual housing associations, municipal savings and credit associations and savings and credit cooperatives.

Financial institutions must obtain the SBS’s authorization before beginning operations. BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco are each classified as a universal bank, Grupo Pacifico is classified as an insurance company and Prima AFP is classified as a pension fund company.

Universal Banks

A universal bank, or bank, is defined by Law No. 26702 as an enterprise whose principal business consists of (i) receiving money from the public, whether by deposits or by any other form of contract, and (ii) using such money (together with the bank’s own capital and funds obtained from other sources) to grant loans or discount documents, or in operations that are subject to market risks.

127

Content

Banks are permitted to carry out various types of financial operations, including the following:

•

receiving demand deposits, time deposits, savings deposits, and deposits in trust;

•

granting direct loans;

•

discounting or advancing funds against bills of exchange, promissory notes, and other credit instruments;

•

granting mortgage loans and accepting bills of exchange in connection with the mortgage loans;

•

granting conditional and unconditional guarantees;

•

issuing, confirming, receiving, and discounting letters of credit;

•

acquiring and discounting certificates of deposit, warehouse receipts, bills of exchange and invoices of commercial transactions;

•

performing credit operations with local and foreign banks, as well as making deposits in those institutions;

•

issuing and placing local currency and foreign currency bonds, as well as promissory notes and negotiable certificates of deposits;

•

issuing certificates in foreign currency and entering into foreign exchange transactions;

•

purchasing banks and non-Peruvian institutions that conduct financial intermediation or securities exchange transactions in order to maintain an international presence;

•

purchasing, holding, and selling gold and silver, as well as stocks and bonds listed on one of the Peruvian stock exchanges and issued by companies incorporated in Peru;

•

acting as financial agent for investments in Peru for external parties;

•

purchasing, holding, and selling instruments evidencing public debt, whether internal or external, as well as obligations of the BCRP;

•

making collections, payments, and transfers of funds;

•

receiving securities and other assets in trust and leasing safety deposit boxes; and

•

issuing and administering credit cards and accepting and performing trust functions.

In addition, banks may carry out financial leasing operations by forming separate departments or subsidiaries. Banks may also promote and direct operations in foreign commerce, underwrite initial public offerings, and provide financial advisory services apart from the administration of their clients’ investment portfolios. By forming a separate department within the bank, a bank may also act as a trustee for trust agreements.

Under Peruvian law, universal banks may conduct brokerage operations and administer mutual funds but must do so through subsidiaries. However, universal bank employees may market the financial products of the bank’s brokerage and mutual fund subsidiaries. Banks are prohibited from issuing insurance policies but are not prohibited from distributing insurance policies issued by insurance companies.

128

Content

Peruvian branches of foreign banks enjoy the same rights and are subject to the same obligations as Peruvian universal banks. Multinational banks, with operations in various countries, may perform the same activities as universal Peruvian banks, although their foreign activities are not subject to Peruvian regulations. To carry out banking operations in local Peruvian markets, multinational banks must maintain capital in Peru of at least the minimum amount that is required for Peruvian banks.

Those universal banks who violate Law No. 26702 and its underlying regulations may be subject to administrative sanctions and criminal penalties. Additionally, the SBS and the BCRP have the authority to issue fines to financial institutions and their directors and officers if they violate the laws or regulations of Peru, or their own institutions’ Bye-laws.

Insurance companies

Since the Peruvian insurance industry was deregulated in 1991, insurance companies have been authorized to conduct all types of operations and to enter into all forms of agreements that are needed to offer risk coverage to customers. Insurance companies may also invest in financial and non-financial assets in order to maintain liquidity and capital requirements to pay their clients when claim occurs.

Peru’s law No. 26702 and Law No. 29946, which are discussed below, are the main laws governing insurance companies and insurance in Peru. The SBS is the government agency charged with the supervision and regulation of all insurance companies. The incorporation of an insurance company requires prior authorization of the SBS. Also, SMV supervises and regulates insurance companies through the Peru’s Law No. 26126 and its amendments.

On May 27, 2013, a new Peruvian insurance law, Insurance Law No. 29946, became effective. Law No. 29946 governs all insurance contracts, except for those that are expressly governed by other regulations. It substantially changes how insurance policies are offered by insurance companies, regulates the information provided by the insured and includes changes to termination and arbitration clauses included in insurance contracts. Law No. 29946 also provides a list of terms and conditions that cannot be included in any insurance contract and ensures that any changes in the contract can only be made if 45 days’ notice is given to the policyholder prior to renewal of the policy. Other measures include restrictions on the duration and renewal of contracts, consumer protection rules, and regulations governing how to address non-payment of premium installments required under insurance contracts.

In September 2013, the SBS established a tender process for the exclusive right to manage collective insurance policy for D&S and burial expenses of the PPS as part of its reform.

Peruvian insurance companies must submit regular reports to the SBS concerning their operations. In addition, the SBS conducts on-site reviews on an annual basis, primarily to evaluate compliance with solvency margin, reserve and investment requirements and rules governing the recognition of premium income. If the SBS determines that a company is unable to meet the solvency margin or technical reserve requirements or is unable to pay claims as they become due, it may either liquidate the company or permit it to merge with another insurance company.

Under Peruvian law, insurance companies may engage in certain credit risk operations, such as guarantees, bonds, and trusteeships, but are prohibited from offering other banking services, operating mutual funds, or offering portfolio management services. In addition, insurance companies may not conduct brokerage operations for third parties.

Peruvian insurance companies are also prohibited by an SBS resolution (SBS Resolution No. 3930-2017) from having an ownership interest in other insurance or reinsurance companies of the same class unless such risks are offset by insurance companies acting as subsidiaries and that risk is withdrawn from the principal insurance company’s activities. This resolution also prohibits Peruvian insurance companies from having an ownership interest in private pension funds.

Peruvian law establishes certain minimum capital requirements for insurance and reinsurance companies, which must be satisfied by cash investments in the company.

Pension Funds

The operations of pensions funds in Peru are regulated by the Unified Text of the Private System for the Administration of Fund Act, approved by Supreme Decree No. 054-97-EF, and modified by Law No. 29903, which has been in force in Peru since August 2013.

Under Peruvian legislation, AFPs must have only one business activity: managing pension funds through individual capitalization accounts, sourced by mandatory and/ or voluntary contributions. AFPs must also provide benefits for retirement, disability, and survivorship and finance funeral expenses.

Finance companies

Under Law No. 26702, finance companies are authorized to carry out the same operations as banks, except for (i) issuing loans as overdrafts in checking accounts and (ii) participating in derivative operations. These operations can be carried out by finance companies only if they fulfill the requirements stated by the SBS.

130

Content

Other financial institutions

The Peruvian financial system has a number of less significant entities that may provide credit, accept deposits, or otherwise act as financial intermediaries on a limited basis. Leasing companies specialize in financial leasing operations where goods are leased over the term of the contract and in which one party has the option of purchasing the goods at a predetermined price. Savings and loans associations or cooperatives may accept certain types of savings deposits and provide other similar financial services.

Peru also has numerous mutual housing associations, municipal savings and credit associations, savings and credit cooperatives and municipal credit bureaus. Over the past seven years the entry of new participants, including foreign banks and non-bank financial institutions, has increased the level of competition in Peru.

Management of operational risk Requirements

SBS Resolution No. 37-2008, which sets forth the guidelines for enterprise risk management (ERM), and SBS Resolution No. 2116-2009, collectively established guidelines for operational risk management by banks. Under these resolutions, operational risk management is defined broadly to include those risk resulting from the possibility of suffering financial losses due to inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems, or from adverse external events. These resolutions also establish responsibilities for developing policies and procedures to identify, measure, control and report such risks. Banks are required to manage risks involved in the performance and continuity of their operations and services adequately to minimize possible financial losses and reputation damage due to inadequate or non-existent policies or procedures. Banks also are required to develop an information security model to guarantee physical and logical information integrity, confidentiality, and availability.

On April 1, 2018, SBS Resolution No. 37-2008 was replaced by SBS Resolution No. 272-2017. The new regulation has introduced the following modifications regarding risk management:

Risk management must also consider the macroeconomic environment that affects the markets in which the company operates;

The following new types of risk are incorporated in the regulation: (a) money laundering and terrorist financing risk, defined as the possibility of the company being used for money laundering and terrorist financing purposes; and (b) reinsurance risk, defined as the possibility of losses caused by the insufficiency of reinsurance coverage contracted by the assigning insurance company; and

The definition of liquidity risk has been modified. It is now understood as the possibility of losses due to anticipated or forced sale of assets at unusual discounts for the company to meet its obligations, as well as not being able to close open positions or cover positions in sufficient quantity. Before this modification, it was understood as the possibility of losses caused by the failure to comply with the financing requirements and the application of funds arising from the mismatches of cash flows requirements.

131

Content

In addition, the new regulation provides that companies must incorporate a centralized unit or units specialized in specific risk management. Under the previous regulation this was optional. The SBS may require companies to create specialized risk units if considered necessary. Under the previous regulation, if the company did not have a specialized risk unit, it was understood that these functions had been assigned to the CEO. With the new regulation this provision has been eliminated.

Companies must submit the annual risk report to the SBS within 90 days from the end of each year.

Credicorp, following these SBS requirements, as well as the guidelines issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the advice of international consultants, has appointed a specialized team responsible for operational risk management across our organization. This team reports regularly to our risk committee, top managers, and the Board of Directors.

In evaluating operational risks and potential consequences, we mainly assess risks related to critical processes, critical suppliers, critical information assets, technological components, new products and significant changes to our services, and channels. To support the operational risk management process, we have developed a Business Continuity Management (BCM) discipline, which involves the implementation of continuity plans for critical business processes, incident management, and training and testing. In addition, our methodology and data processing team has developed procedures to register, collect, analyze, and report operational risk losses, using advanced models for operational risk capital allocation. We also have monitoring and reporting procedures that are designed to monitor KRIs and other performance metrics.

We intend to be guided by the risk control standards of international financial institutions that are noted for their leadership in this field. Our overall objective is to implement an efficient and permanent monitoring system to control operational risks, while training our operational units to mitigate risks directly.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to make certain certifications regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. We have developed internal methods to identify and evaluate risk and controls over our critical processes to determinate how effective internal controls are over financial reporting using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 Internal Control Framework.

Capital adequacy requirements

Capital adequacy requirements applicable to us are set forth in Peru’s Law No. 26702 and Legislative Decree No. 1028. Legislative Decree No. 1028 was aimed at adapting Law No. 26702 to the capital guidelines and standards established by the second Basel Committee Accord (Basel II). Capital adequacy requirements are also included in Peruvian GAAP guidelines. Pursuant to Basel II guidelines, financial institutions are required to hold regulatory capital that is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) 10% of credit RWAs, and (ii) 10 times the amount required to cover market and operational risks.

Since July 2009, Peruvian financial institutions generally have applied a standardized approach to calculate their capital requirement related to credit, market, and operational risk. As an alternative to the standardized approach, financial institutions may request authorization from the SBS to use different models for calculating the reserve amount associated with any of these three risks. In July 2009, the SBS started accepting applications to use alternative models, referred to as Internal Models Methods. If the amount of an institution’s reserve requirements would be higher using the standard model than it would be using the approved Internal Models Method, then the institution will have to maintain between 80% and 95% of the standard amount during a phase-in period. Even after the phase-in period, institutions using an Internal Models Method are subject to regulatory capital floors.

On July 20, 2011, the SBS issued SBS Resolution 8425-2011, establishing the methodologies and the implementation schedule of additional capital requirements consistent with certain aspects of Basel III, which is a comprehensive set of reform measures and guidelines, followed by the SBS, to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and risk management of the banking sector. The additional capital requirements include requirements to cover concentration, excessive interest rate risk in the banking book and systemically important risk. Additionally, pro-cyclical capital requirements were established. These additional requirements were fully implemented in July 2016.

Article 184 of Law No. 26702, as amended by Legislative Decree No. 1028, provides that regulatory capital may be used to cover credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Regulatory capital is comprised of the sum of basic capital and supplementary capital, and is calculated as follows:

Basic Capital: Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital comprises:

(i)

paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock), legal reserves, supplementary capital premiums, voluntary reserves distributable only with prior SBS approval, and retained earnings with capitalization agreements (earnings that the shareholders or our Board of Directors, as the case may be, have committed to capitalize as common stock); and

(ii)

other elements that have characteristics of permanence and loss absorption that are in compliance with regulations enacted by the SBS, such as hybrid securities.

133

Content

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital include:

(a)

current and past years’ unrealized losses; deficits of loan loss provisions;

(b)

banks must deduct the difference between total expected loss and eligible provisions in case internal models are used to estimate credit capital requirements.

(c)

goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and

(d)

half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below. Absent any Tier 2 capital, 100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below must be deducted from Tier 1 capital.

The elements referred to in item (ii) above should not exceed 17.65% of the amount resulting from adding components (i) of Basic Capital or Tier 1 capital net of deductions (a), (b) and (c) from “Basic Capital” listed above.

Supplementary Capital: Supplementary capital is comprised of the sum of Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Tier 2 capital elements include:

(i)

voluntary reserves that may be reduced without prior consent from the SBS;

(ii)

the eligible portion of redeemable subordinated debt and of any other components that have characteristics of debt and equity as provided by the SBS;

(iii)

for banks using the SBS standardized approach method, the generic loan loss provision up to 1.25% of credit RWAs; or, alternatively, for banks using the internal ratings-based (IRB) method, the generic loan loss provision up to 0.6% of total credit RWAs (pursuant to Article 189 of Law No. 26702); and

(iv)

half of the amount referred to in “Deductions” below.

Tier 3 capital is comprised of redeemable subordinated debt that is incurred with the exclusive purpose of covering market risk, as referred to in Article 233 of Law No. 26702.

Deductions: The following elements are deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital:

(i)	all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by other local or foreign financial institutions and insurance companies;

(ii)	all investments in shares and subordinated debt issued by an affiliate with which the bank consolidates its financial statements, including its holding company and such subsidiaries referred to in Articles 34 and 224 of Law No. 26702;

(iii)

the amount in which an investment in shares issued by a company with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which is not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio exceeds 15% of the bank’s regulatory capital;

(iv)	the aggregate amount of all investments in shares issued by companies with which the bank does not consolidate its financial statements and which are not part of the bank’s negotiable portfolio exceeds 60% of the regulatory capital;

134

Content

(v)	when applicable, the amount resulting from the formula prescribed in Article 189 of Law No. 26702; and

(vi)	unrealized gains and retained earnings in subsidiaries.

For the purposes herein, “regulatory capital” excludes the amounts referred to in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of the elements deducted from Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital listed above.

Article 185 of Law No. 26702 also provides that the following limits apply when calculating regulatory capital:

(i)

the aggregate amount of supplementary capital must not exceed the aggregate amount of basic capital;

(ii)

the amount of redeemable Tier 2 subordinated instruments must be limited to 50% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 elements net of deductions (a), (b), and (c) from “Basic Capital” listed above;

(iii)

the amount of Tier 3 capital must be limited to 250% of the amount resulting from the sum of Tier 1 elements net of deductions (a), (b), and (c) from “Basic Capital” listed above in the amounts assigned to cover market risk.

SBS Resolution No. 8548-2012, adopted in 2012, modified the regulatory capital requirements for credit RWAs in SBS Resolution No. 14354-2009 and established a schedule for implementing the modifications.

On February 24, 2016, SBS issued Resolution 975 -2016 - “Subordinated Debt Regulation”, which aims to improve the quality of banks’ total regulatory capital and align Peruvian regulation towards Basel III, by modifying:

•

The characteristics that subordinated debt must meet to be considered in the calculation of total regulatory capital; and

•

The calculation of RWAs.

Under this regulation, subordinated debt issued prior to the regulation that did not meet the requirements was to be recognized as total regulatory capital, according to the following:

•

Tier 1 subordinated debt: as of January 2017, and for 10 years following, Tier 1 subordinated debt is subject to a 10% discount. However, the amount not computable as Tier 1 regulatory capital may be computed as a Tier 2 instrument if it has a residual maturity equal to or greater than 15 years.

•

In November 2019, BCP Stand-alone redeemed the total amount of its Tier 1 subordinated debt issuance (issued in 2009) totaling US$250 million. Thus, as of December 2019, neither Tier 1 nor Tier 2 of BCP’s regulatory capital was comprised of non-compliant Tier 1 subordinated debt.

•

Tier 2 subordinated debt: during the five years prior to maturity, the principal balance will be discounted by 20%. In the year prior to its maturity, the Tier 2 subordinated debt will not be considered in the calculation of Tier 2. This treatment did not change compared to previous regulation. As a result, Tier 2 Subordinated debt issued previous to the rule was grandfathered.

135

Content

In addition, the SBS Resolution also included changes to the calculation of RWAs of the following accounting items:

•

Intangibles (excluding goodwill);

•

Deferred tax assets (DTAs) that are originated by operating losses; and

•

DTAs that are associated with temporary differences and that exceed the threshold of 10% of the “adjusted total capital”. In each case, DTAs are to be net of deferred income tax liabilities.

These assets will experience a gradual increase in their risk weights (until they reach a maximum of 1,000% in 2026) to replicate the deductions established by Basel III. The RWAs calculated based on these risk weights will be used exclusively for calculating the Basel III ratios.

Furthermore, the new regulation requires the calculation of a new solvency ratio: Adjusted total capital on adjusted total RWAs. This methodology is similar to that which is used to calculate the CET1 ratio under Basel III. As a result, the accounting items mentioned above are deducted from the numerator of the new solvency ratio, and the calculation of RWAs (the denominator) does not consider these deductions. As of December 31, 2020, BCP Stand-alone’ s CET1 ratio was 11.40%.

SBS Resolution 4280-2018, adopted in October 2018, modified the risk weight applied to intangibles (excluding goodwill) to speed up the increase in this risk weight towards 100%, with the purpose of closing the regulatory gap with Basel III guidelines, which clearly require intangibles to be fully deducted from core capital measurements.

In March 2020, as the scale of the global COVID-19-induced economic shock became apparent, the SBS passed Resolution 1264-2020, which suspended the countercyclical capital requirements for the banking system, unlocking a significant capital buffer for local banks, which was built during the last several years, in order to prevent a credit contraction.

Furthermore, in April 2020, the Ministry of Finance and the BCRP engineered and launched a large credit-enhancement program, Reactiva Peru, in response to the economic crisis, which comprised government guarantees for a broad range of loans to local enterprises. This program successfully promoted the expansion of credit to local enterprises in 2020 without consuming significant capital requirements to local banks.

As some of the restrictions and consequences due to COVID-19 continued early 2021, Presidential Urgent Decree No. 037-2021 was approved in March 2021. The minimum global capital ratio, which is the minimum requirement mandated by the regulator, was temporarily reduced from 10% to 8%. This gave an additional buffer to financial institutions until the economic outlook start presenting stronger signs of improvement. The same decree ordered the minimum global capital ratio to be lifted back to 10% in March 2022.

In December 2021, the SBS issued Resolution 3718-2021, modifying cyclical provisions from Resolution 11356-2008 and, as an extension, the activation of the countercyclical capital buffer. Among the main changes were decreasing the threshold for the activation of the countercyclical rule from 5% to 4% for the average of annualized percentage change in GDP for the last 30 months and the minimum rates for the cyclical provision component. It should be noted that the countercyclical capital buffer could be activated no earlier than of January 1, 2024.

Additionally, in December 2021, the SBS adopted Resolution 3921-2021, which adds capital rules regarding the domestic systemically important capital requirement, which is a requirement similar to the D-SIB under Basel 3 where an additional requirement is calculated based on the relative size of the bank within the local financial system. This additional requirement affects both BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco by increasing the regulatory requirement of Credicorp. The changes will have a transition phase of two years, with 75% of the additional requirements to take effect in December 2022 and the full requirement effective in December 2023.

In March 2022, Legislative Decree 1531 was passed by the Government, Regulatory Capital definition rules in Banking Law 26702 were revised. Changes were aimed to better comply with the standards established by the Basel International Regulatory Framework for Banks (Basel III). The new regulatory capital framework defines CET1 and Total regulatory capital new minimum requirements at 4.5% and 10%, plus capital buffers. Although the main changes will be applied from January 2023, there still relevant regulation to be passed by the Banking Regulator to implement the aforementioned law and provide any adequacy period.

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1)

In November 2013, BCP Stand-alone’ s Board of Directors decided to track the Basel III ratio known as CET1. CET1 comprises:

•

paid-in-capital (which includes common stock and perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock);

•

legal and other capital reserves;

•

accumulated earnings;

•

unrealized profits (losses);

•

deficits of loan loss provisions;

•

intangibles;

•

net deferred taxes that rely on future profitability;

•

goodwill resulting from corporate reorganizations or acquisitions; and

•

100% of the amount referred to in “Deductions” above.

CET1 Internal Targets

In October 2018, BCP Stand-alone’s Risk Committee approved a rise on CET1 ratio limits for BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco, targeting them at 11% and 15%, respectively. These limits are part of their risk appetite framework. BCP Stand-alone’s CET1 ratio is estimated based on BCP Stand-alone’s understanding, expectations and interpretation of the proposed Basel III requirements in Peru.

Intervention by the SBS

Pursuant to Peru’s Law No. 26702, as amended by Law No. 27102, the SBS has the authority to seize the operations and assets of a bank. These laws provide for three levels of action by the SBS: a supervisory regime, an intervention regime, and the liquidation of the bank. Any of these actions may be taken if certain events occur, such as if the bank: (i) interrupts payments on its liabilities, (ii) repeatedly fails to comply with the regulations of the SBS or the BCRP, (iii) repeatedly violates the law or the provisions of the bank’s Bye-laws, (iv) repeatedly manages its operations in an unauthorized or unsound manner or (v) has its regulatory capital fall or be reduced by more than 50%.

During the intervention regime, rather than seizing the operations and assets of a bank, the SBS may adopt other measures, including (i) placing additional requirements on the bank, (ii) ordering it to increase its capital stock or divest certain or all of its assets, or (iii) imposing a special supervision regime during which the bank must adhere to a financial restructuring plan.

The SBS intervention regime stops a bank’s operations for up to 45 days, which may be extended for an additional 45 days. During this time, the SBS may institute measures such as: (i) canceling losses by reducing reserves, capital, and subordinated debt, (ii) segregating certain assets and liabilities for transfer to another financial institution and (iii) merging the intervened bank with an acquiring institution according to the program established by Presidential Urgent Decree No. 108-2000, which was enacted in November 2000. After the intervention, the SBS will liquidate the bank unless it is merged with an acquiring institution, as described in clause (iii) above.

The intervention procedure entails an automatic stay, protecting the assets of the bank or insurance company. Hence, the following actions are temporarily suspended: (i) collection of debts (judicially or administratively), (ii) execution of any judicial order, (iii) creation of liens, and (iv) making payments, advances, or offsetting debts; although statute regulates some specific cases where offsetting is admitted during the stay.

In case of dissolution of the bank, the priority of payments goes as follows: (a) wages and social benefits of the bank’s employees, (b) return of saving deposits (in the portion not covered by the Deposit Insurance Fund), (c) tax obligations; and (d) the rest of the obligations under general rules of payment.

138

Content

Liens created against bank’s assets survive the dissolution, but the following rules apply:

Each encumbered asset is sold separately.

The proceeds of the sales are deposited separately from the rest of the bank’s assets to preferentially pay the secured obligations.

If the wages and social benefits of the bank’s employees are fully paid with the rest of the company’s assets, the proceeds described in clause (2) above are used to pay the secured obligations. Otherwise, they are used to complete such payments, reducing pro-rata the amount available for payment of secured obligations.

If the secured obligations are fully paid and there is an excess from the proceeds described in clause (2) above, the balance is added to the rest of the bank’s assets.

If the secured obligations are not fully paid, the unpaid balance is treated as an unsecured obligation and may be collected, if possible, against the rest of the bank’s assets.

Legal reserve requirements

In accordance with Peruvian regulation (article 67 of Law No. 26702) a reserve of up to at least 35% of paid-in capital of the Group’s subsidiaries operating in Peru is required to be established through annual transfers of at least 10% of their net profit.

Under Law No. 26702, banks and financial institutions are required to maintain legal reserve requirements for certain obligations. The BCRP requires financial institutions to maintain marginal reserve requirements for foreign currency obligations and sets the exact level and method of calculation of that requirement. The reserve requirements in Peru apply to obligations such as demand and time deposits, savings accounts, securities, certain bonds and funds administered by banks. Additionally, the BCRP requires reserves on amounts due to foreign banks and other foreign financial institutions. Since January 2011, obligations of foreign subsidiaries and affiliates also have been subject to the reserve requirement.

Lending activities requirements

Law No. 26702 sets the maximum amount of credit that a financial institution may extend to a single borrower, whether the borrower is an individual or an economic group. SBS Resolution No. 5780-2015 establishes that an “economic group” is one that has a single or common risk exposure and includes a person, such person’s close relatives and the companies in which such person or his or her close relatives have significant share ownership or decision-making capability. Significant decision-making capability is deemed to be present when, among other factors, a person or group can exercise material and continuous influence over 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 beneficiary of credit facilities granted to another company.

139

Content

The limit on credit that may be extended to one borrower varies according to the type of borrower and the collateral received. The credit limit for any Peruvian borrower is 10% of a bank’s regulatory capital, applied to both unconsolidated and consolidated records, which may be increased to up to 30% if the loan is collateralized in a manner acceptable under Law No. 26702. If a financial institution exceeds these limits, the SBS may impose a fine on the institution. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the 10.0% unconsolidated credit limit per borrower of BCP Stand-alone for unsecured loans was S/1,940.8 million, S/2,121.0 million and S/2,277.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the 30.0% credit limit for secured loans was S/5,822.4 million, S/6,363.1 million and S/6,831.6 million, respectively.

Pursuant to Article 52 of the Organic Law of the BCRP, under certain circumstances, the BCRP has the authority to establish limits on interest rates charged by commercial banks and other financial institutions. Such limits are not currently in place; however, there can be no assurance that the BCRP will not establish such limits on interest rates in the future.

In addition, 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.

Portfolio Classification Requirement

In order to comply with the SBS regulation, we have a loan portfolio classified in accordance with SBS Resolution No. 11356-2008 and it was amended as of July 1, 2010. For this reason, a bank’s portfolio is classified into eight different categories: corporate, large companies, medium-sized companies, small companies, micro-companies. Commercial, consumer revolving, non-renewable consumer, and residential mortgage loans.

Related party transactions requirements

Law No. 26702 regulates transactions between financial institutions on the one hand and related parties or affiliates on the other. The SBS and the SMV have also enacted regulations that define indirect ownership, related parties, and economic groups, in order to limit transactions with related parties and affiliates. These regulations also provide standards for the supervision of financial and mixed conglomerates formed by financial institutions.

The total amount of loans to directors, employees, or close relatives of any such persons may not exceed 7% of a bank’s regulatory capital. All loans made to any single director or employee borrower, considering his or her close relatives, may not exceed 0.35% of regulatory capital (that is, 5% of the overall 7% limit).

140

Content

Pursuant to Law No. 26702, as amended by Law No. 27102, the aggregate amount of loans to related party borrowers considered to be part of an economic group (as defined above) may not exceed 30% of a bank’s regulatory capital. For purposes of this test, related party borrowers include (i) any person holding, directly or indirectly, 4% or more of a bank’s shares, (ii) directors, (iii) certain principal executive officers of a bank, and (iv) people affiliated with the administrators of the bank. Loans to individual related party borrowers are also subject to the limits on lending to a single borrower described under “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru”. All loans to related parties must be made on terms no more favorable than the best terms that BCP Stand-alone or Mibanco offers to the public.

Ownership restrictions

Law No. 26702 establishes certain restrictions on the ownership of a bank’s shares. Banks must have a minimum of two shareholders. Among other restrictions, those convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering, terrorism, or other felonies, and those who are directors, employees or advisors of public entities that regulate and supervise the activities of banks, are subject to ownership limitations. All transfers of shares in a bank must be recorded at the SBS. Transfers involving the acquisition by any individual or corporation, whether directly or indirectly, of more than 10% of a bank’s capital stock require prior authorization from the SBS. The SBS may deny authorization to such transfer of shares if the purchasers (or their shareholders, directors, or employees, in the case of juridical persons) are legally disabled or have engaged in illegal activity in the area of banking, finance, insurance or reinsurance, or if objections are raised on the basis of the purchaser’s moral fitness or economic solvency, among other reasons. The decision of the SBS on such matters is final and cannot be overturned by the courts. If a transfer is made without obtaining the prior approval of the SBS, the purchaser shall be fined with an amount equivalent to the value of the transferred shares and is obligated to sell the shares within 30 days, or the fine is doubled. In addition, the purchaser is not allowed to exercise its voting rights at the shareholders’ meetings. Foreign investors receive the same treatment as Peruvian nationals under the limitations described above.

Additionally, on January 7, 2021, the Peruvian government promulged Law No. 31112, which provides that any transaction that causes ownerships to cross the threshold set by Law No. 31112 and can result in action in concert must have the authorization of INDECOPI to complete that ownership. According to this law, financial institutions must present the acquisition request to the SBS. If the SBS determines that there is a financial crisis, the acquisition does not require authorization from INDECOPI.

Finally, under Peruvian law, individuals or corporations that acquire, directly or indirectly, 1% of the capital stock of a bank in a period of 12 months, or acquire a 3% or more share participation, have the obligation to provide the information that the SBS may require to identify such individuals’ or corporations’ main economic activities and asset structure.

Risk rating requirements

Law No. 26702 and SBS Resolutions No. 672 and 18400-2010 require that all financial companies be rated by at least two risk rating companies on a semi-annual basis, in addition to the SBS’s 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 sub-categories within each category. In September 2021, the Moody’s Local PE Clasificadora de Riesgos S.A. and Apoyo y Asociados Internacionales S.A.C. rating agencies, affirmed their respective “A+” risk categories for BCP Stand-alone. In September 2021, both rating agencies affirmed their “A” risk categories for Mibanco. As of December 2021, BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco maintained the risk categories of “A+” and “A”, respectively, with both rating agencies.

Deposit insurance fund

Law No. 26702 provides for mandatory deposit insurance to protect the deposits of financial institutions by establishing the Deposit Insurance Fund for individuals, associations, not-for-profit companies, and demand deposits of non-financial companies. Financial institutions must pay an annual premium calculated and based on the type of deposits accepted by the entity and the risk classification of such entity, made by the SBS and at least two independent risk-rating agencies. The annual premium, which is set by Law No. 26702, begins at 0.65% of total funds on deposit under the coverage of the Deposit Insurance Fund and increases to 1.45%, which is applicable to banks in the highest risk category. Such annual premium basis and maximum were modified by SBS Resolution No. 0657-99 which established complementary proceedings and modified the amount of the annual premium; such that the annual premium now begins at 0.45% of total funds on deposit and increases to 1.45% which is applicable to banks in the highest risk category. BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco are currently classified in the lowest risk category and apply the 0.45% set by the SBS Resolution No 0657-99.

The maximum amount that a customer is entitled to recover from the Deposit Insurance Fund is S/115,637 for the period starting from December 2021 until February 2022.

(iv) Peruvian Insurance Companies Regulation - Grupo Pacifico

Solvency requirements

Pursuant to Law No. 26702, the SBS regulates the solvency margin of Peruvian insurance companies. The solvency margin calculations consider the amount of premiums written and losses incurred during a specified period prior to the date of the calculation.

Insurance companies must also maintain solvency equity, which must be the greater of (i) the solvency margin and (ii) the minimum capital requirement, as established by law. The required amount of solvency equity is recalculated at least quarterly. If an insurance company has outstanding credit risk operations, part of the solvency equity must be set aside for its coverage.

142

Content

Legal reserve requirements

Peruvian law also requires that all insurance companies establish a legal guarantee reserve for policyholders by setting aside 10% of income before taxes until the reserve reaches at least 35% of paid-in capital.

Technical reserve requirements

Pursuant to Law No. 26702 and regulations issued by the SBS, Peruvian insurance companies must establish technical reserves. Law No. 26702 also requires insurance companies to create a reserve for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims that are reflected as a liability in their consolidated financial statements. Reserves for IBNR claims are estimated by using generally accepted actuarial reserving methods. See Note 3(e) to our consolidated financial statements. Finally, Grupo Pacifico is required by the SBS to establish pre-event reserves for risk of catastrophes, which, in accordance with IFRS principles, are not considered in our financial statements. See “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating results – (6) Lines of Business (LoBs) – 6.3 Insurance & Pensions – (i) Grupo Pacifico”.

According to a new regulation regarding actuarial management, SBS Resolution No. 3863-2016, the actuarial function must (i) ensure the use of real and adequate parameters in both pricing and technical reserves calculation and (ii) guarantee the consistency of the results obtained. Likewise, based on the sufficiency evaluation analysis, actuarial management must propose changes in the methodologies applied in the calculation of technical or additional reserves.

Investment requirements

Pursuant to Law No. 26702 and a regulation issued by the SBS Resolution No. 1041-2016, the total amount of an insurance company’s solvency equity and technical reserves must be permanently supported by diversified assets, which may not be pledged or otherwise encumbered. The investment regulations further state that deposits in and bonds of one financial institution together cannot exceed 7% of the total of an insurer’s solvency equity and technical reserves combined. In general, no more than 15% of an insurance company’s combined solvency equity and technical reserves may be invested in instruments (including stocks and bonds) issued by a company or group of companies. In order for an insurance company to invest in non-Peruvian securities, the securities must be rated by an internationally recognized credit rating agency and the asset class must be authorized by Peruvian SBS regulations. Securities owned by insurance companies must be registered in the Public Registry of Securities of Peru or the comparable registry of their respective country.

143

Content

Related party transactions requirements

Law No. 26702 provides that insurance companies may not extend credit to or guarantee the obligations of employees or members of the Board of Directors, except for certain home mortgage loans to employees.

Ownership restrictions

Law No. 26702 sets forth the same types of restrictions regarding the ownership and transfer of insurance company shares as it does regarding the ownership and transfer of shares in banks. See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1. Peru”.

(v) Peruvian Pension Fund Regulation – Prima AFP

Minimum capital requirements

SBS authorization is required for an AFP to begin operations. Peruvian law requires a minimum capital requirement, paid in cash by shareholders. There are certain limitations on the ownership and transfer of AFP shares. Additionally, Peruvian law requires that companies maintain a legal reserve funded with 10% of their net profit, until the reserve reaches the equivalent of 20% of their share capital

Investment limits

The SBS has set investment limits, which restrict investments in certain asset classes, economic groups, and issuers. In addition, some of these limits differ according to the fund’s risk profile. The general limits are:

■

The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by the Peruvian State cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;

■

The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by the BCRP cannot exceed 30% of the fund value;

■

The total amount invested in instruments issued or guaranteed by the Peruvian State and the BCRP overall cannot exceed 40% of the fund value; and

■

The total amount invested in instruments issued by governments, financial institutions, and non-financial institutions whose commercial activities are mostly abroad cannot exceed 50% of the fund value.

The SBS requires that AFPs ensure a minimum yield. Part of the guarantee is the obligatory reserve requirement, which is paid with resources belonging to the AFPs. The amount depends on the assets in the portfolio, but it is approximately 1% of the AFP’s funds under management.

PPS Reforms

PPS Reform and changes of the PPS between 2012 and 2017

Since 2012, the Private Pension System has witnessed different reforms and changes applied by the Peruvian government and its regulators. The most relevant changes contemplated during 2012 to 2017 were the following:

■

In 2012, a tender process held every 24 months were incorporated, in which the AFP that offers the lowest management fee wins the tender. As a result, new workers who enter the PPS become members of the tender holder and remain in it for at least 24 months.

■

In 2014, new local and foreign investment regulations made the PPS registration process for new investment securities more flexible. It allows AFPs to make non-complex investments and use derivatives instruments under certain restriction without authorization from the SBS.

■

In 2015, SBS Resolution No. 5540-2015 was also published and regulates the new Fund Type Zero, which is mandatory for participants from the age of 65 and up who opt for a statutory retirement pension. The Fund Type Zero became effective on April 1, 2016 and invests only in national currency short-term instruments and debt securities.

■

In April 2016, Peruvian Law No. 30425 (further modified by Law No. 30478) was passed and came into force in Peru. Among the most relevant changes, the law allows affiliates to: (i) withdraw up to 95.5% of their pension funds when they reach the age of 65 (retirement age); (ii) use up to 25% of their pension funds as the down payment or amortization of a mortgage loan used to buy a first house; and (iii) in the case of affiliates with terminal illness, withdraw up to 50% of their pension funds. The new law also extended the Special Regime of Early Retirement until December 31, 2018, for affiliates who had been unemployed for at least 12 months. The Regime applies to men and women who are at least 55 and 50 years old respectively, and pensioners who choose the retirement program.

■

In 2017, BCRP raised the foreign investment limit up to 46% for pension funds to encourage AFPs to diversify their investments.

For further detail please refer to Credicorp’s previous 2019 20-F document, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (9) Supervision and Regulation – 9.5 Prima AFP”.

Changes to PPS in 2018

Between February and September 2018, the BCRP raised the foreign investment limit for pension funds at a rate of 0.5 percentage points per month until it reached the 50% limit set by the SBS.

In 2018, the withdrawals of funds in Prima AFP totaled approximately S/2,992 million.

Content

Changes to PPS in 2019

On April 3, 2019, Peru’s congress permanently approved the Special Regime of Early Retirement for affiliates with a minimum age of 55 years old for men and 50 years old for women, who are unemployed for at least 12 consecutive months, and who prove an income of less than S/29,400 (7 UIT), to receive independent employment (4^th category) income during their unemployment period. These modifications were promulgated by Peruvian Law No. 30939.

Peru’s congress also approved new criteria to apply for Ordinary Early Retirement. Ordinary Early Retirement is available to affiliates with a minimum age of 55 years old for men and 50 years old for women, who have a pension fund that allows them to access a pension of at least 40% of the average income received during the last 120 months. These modifications were promulgated by Peruvian Law No. 30939. In 2019, the withdrawals of funds in Prima AFP totaled approximately S/2,797 million.

Changes to PPS in 2020

In 2020, the Peruvian government and congress took measures to provide liquidity to private pensioners by allowing them to draw down their funds. These measures had an impact on funds under management and on income at the AFP in 2020 and 2021.

Changes to PPS in 2021

On May 7, Law No. 31192 was published, which authorizes affiliates of the Private Pension Fund Administration System to withdraw up to S/17,200 from their funds.

On August 6, Law No. 31332 was published, which reduces from 55 to 50 the age to access early retirement for men.

For further information about the measures taken by the government, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Regulatory changes and adoption of new international guidelines to sectors in which we operate could impact our earnings and adversely affect our operating performance” and “ITEM 5.

Cayman Islands Regulation - Atlantic Security Holding Corporation (ASHC)

ASHC is an entity regulated under Cayman Islands Companies Law, duly supervised by the Cayman Island Monetary Authority (CIMA). Under the law of the Cayman Islands, ASHC is subject to the following continuing requirements: (i) to remain in good standing under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, including the filing of annual and other returns and the payment of annual fees; (ii) to file any change in the information or documents required to be provided and to pay annual fees with the Registrar of Companies; (iii) to file certain prescribed forms with CIMA on a quarterly basis; (iv) to file audited accounts with CIMA within three months of each financial year (in the case of a locally incorporated bank, which is not part of a substantial international banking group, a senior officer or board member discusses these accounts each year at a meeting with CIMA); and (v) to file an annual questionnaire.

6.2.3 Bolivia

Bolivian Regulators

Pursuant to Supreme Decree No. 29894, in May 2009 the ASFI was vested with the authority to regulate the Bolivian banking system. The ASFI also supervises brokerage and mutual fund management activities that Credicorp Ltd. conducts through BCP Bolivia’s affiliates, Credibolsa and Credifondo. These affiliates operate under the Securities Markets Law No. 1834, enacted on March 31, 1998. Additionally, the Central Bank of Bolivia (Banco Central de Bolivia or BCB by its Spanish initials) regulates financial intermediation and deposit activities, determines monetary and foreign exchange policy, and establishes reserve requirements on deposits.

Regulation of Bolivian Financial Institutions

Until November 2013, the Bolivian banking system operated under the Law of Banks and Financial Entities No. 1488, enacted on April 14, 1993, and later modified by Law No. 3076 of June 20, 2005. On August 21, 2013, the Bolivian government enacted a new Banking Law (Law No. 393), which became effective on November 21, 2013. This new law envisions a more active role of government in the financial services industry and emphasizes the social objective of financial services.

On December 10, 2010 through the enactment in Bolivia of Law No. 065 (Ley de Pensiones), the supervision of all insurance activities in Bolivia was transferred from the ASFI to the APS. Our life and P&C insurance affiliates in Bolivia, which operate under the commercial name Crediseguro, are thus regulated, and supervised by the APS.

In 2012, the Bolivian government imposed an additional income tax of 12.5% on earnings before taxes, which applied to all financial institutions with a ratio of earnings before taxes to equity in excess of 13%. Additionally, in November 2012, the government approved a new tax on sales of foreign exchange. This new tax, which levied all sales of foreign exchange with a 0.70% rate on the amount of foreign currency sold, was in effect for 36 months and expired in December 2015.

The additional income tax rate was subsequently increased to 22% in December 2015, and to 25% in March 2017, and was made applicable to all financial institutions with a ratio of earnings before taxes to equity in excess of 6%.

In 2013, Supreme Decree No. 1842 set interest rate caps for social housing loans ranging from 5.5% to 6.5%, and for loans to productive sectors (agriculture, tourism, manufacture, etc.), and established loan quotas pursuant to which, by December 31, 2018, and afterwards, at least 60% of the loan portfolio of all universal banks needs to be comprised of loans to productive sectors and social housing loans, with a sublimit that establishes that loans to productive sectors must represent at least 25% of the portfolio.

Further to Law 393, in 2014, the Bolivian government, through Supreme Decrees No. 2136 and No. 2137, instructed banks in Bolivia to contribute 6% of that year’s total profits for the creation of a guarantee fund – to be administered by the banks - intended to provide guarantees of up to 20% of the amount financed of productive sector and social housing loans. From 2015 to 2019, the government instructed banks to contribute 6% of those years’ profits to replenish either the existing guarantee funds or to make contributions to a newly created seed capital fund administered by the government-owned development bank.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 1, 2020, the Bolivian government enacted Law No 1294, which established the automatic deferral of all loan installments (capital, interest, and other charges) payable to financial institutions for the duration of Bolivian Coronavirus Pandemic Emergency Declaration. These deferred installments will start to be collected after the final installment established on the original payment schedule. Supreme Decree No. 4206 established an initial deferral period from March 2020 to May 2020, which was subsequently extended to August 2020 through Supreme Decree No. 4248, and then to December 2020 through Law No. 1319.

On December 2, 2020, the Bolivian government issued Supreme Decree No. 4409, establishing that the capital portion of the installments that had been deferred in 2020 would not accrue interest until their cancellation. Supreme Decree No. 4409 also established that once the deferral period has concluded, upon request of the borrowers that had their installments deferred, banks must refinance and/or reschedule their loans, based on the borrowers’ economic situation and payment capacity. The refinanced and/or rescheduled loans have the benefit of a six-month grace period during which no interest or capital payments are required from the borrower. The collection of the amount of interest accrued but not collected during the aforementioned grace period will be made pro rata during the new term of the loan.

(7) Selected statistical information

In the following tables, we have set forth certain selected statistical information and ratios regarding our business for the periods indicated. You should read the selected statistical information in conjunction with the information included in “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results” and the consolidated financial statements (and the notes that accompany the consolidated financial statements). The statistical information and discussion and analysis given below for the years 2019 through 2021 reflect our consolidated financial position as well as that of our subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 and our results of operations for the years then ended.

7.1 Average statements of financial position and income from interest-earning assets

The tables below set forth selected statistical information based on our average statements of financial position prepared on a consolidated basis. Except as otherwise indicated, we have classified average balances by currency (Soles or foreign currency, primarily US Dollars) rather than by the domestic or international nature of the balance. For the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, the average balances are computed as the average of period-beginning and period-ending balances on a monthly basis. Any of these month-end balances that were denominated in US Dollars have been converted into Soles using the applicable SBS exchange rate as of the date of such balance. Our management believes that the stated averages are representative of our operations, and that it would be too costly to produce daily averages using daily book balances in IFRS but does not believe that the stated averages present trends in a materially different manner from those that would be presented by daily averages.

7.1.1 Changes in net interest, similar income, and expense: volume and rate analysis

The table below sets forth the net effect on annual variation in interest income and interest expense of increases and decreases due to changes in volume and rate. Volume and rate variations have been calculated based on variations in average balances over the period and changes in average rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities from one period to the other. The net changes in “Interest and similar income” and “Interest and similar expense” attributable to both changes in functional currency (Sol) and changes in foreign currency also are presented in the table:

The maturities of our investment securities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, as of December 31, 2021, are described in “ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT”.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group held in investments at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income 87,530, 153,760 and 80,541 certificates of deposit of the BCRP, respectively. These certificates of deposit are instruments issued at discount through public auction, traded on the Peruvian secondary market and payable in soles.

Pursuant to the criteria described below, our management has determined that the unrealized losses of our investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, amounted to S/21.7 million, S/94.4 million and S/999.0 million, respectively, were temporary, and we intend to hold each investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for a potential recovery in fair value. This holding period will last until the earlier of the investment’s recovery or maturity.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, for debt instruments measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, the management establishes a three-stage expected credit loss model, based on whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of the financial asset since its initial recognition. These three stages determine the amount of expected credit loss (ECL) to be recognized at each reporting date.

The ECL is an estimate that considers multiple forward-looking macro-economic scenarios that result in more timely recognition of credit losses.

Management considers a number of factors to determine whether to hold an investment, including (i) a quantitative estimate of the expected recovery period (which may extend to maturity), (ii) the severity of the impairment and (iii) its strategy with respect to the security or portfolio. If management had determined it is not desirable to hold the security for a sufficient period of time to allow for a potential recovery in the security’s amortized cost, we recorded the unrealized loss in our consolidated income statement.

“Total loans” refers to “loans, net of unearned income” as disclosed in our consolidated financial statement, which refers to direct loans minus unearned interest plus accrued interest. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements. In addition to loans outstanding, we had off-balance-sheet items that amounted to S/21,081.0 million, S/20,973.8 million, and S/22,914.3 million, as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements.

The loan portfolio categories set forth in the table above are based on internal classifications, which apply to loans generated by BCP Stand-alone, SEAH, Mibanco, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco Colombia and ASB. We categorize loans as follows:

•

Loans: Basic term loans documented by promissory notes and other extensions of credit, such as mortgage loans, credit cards and other consumer loans in various forms, including trade finance loans to importers and exporters on specialized terms adapted to the needs of the international trade transaction.

•

Leasing receivables: Transactions that involve our acquisition of an asset and the financial leasing of that asset to a client.

•

Discounted notes: Loans discounted at the outset (the client signs a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness for the principal amount payable at a future date). Discounted loans also include discounting of drafts, where we make a loan supported by a draft signed by one party and discounted by another party, with recourse to both parties.

•

Factoring receivables: The sale of title of a company’s account receivables to a bank (or financial company). The receivables are sold without recourse, and the bank cannot recover from the seller in the event that the accounts are uncollectible. For factoring loans, the seller receives funds from the bank prior to the average maturity date based on the invoice amount of the receivable, less cash discounts and allowances for estimated claims and returns, among other items.

•

Advances and overdrafts in current account: Extensions of credit to clients by way of an overdraft facility in the client’s checking account. This category also includes secured short-term advances.

•

Refinanced loans: Loans that were refinanced because the client was unable to pay at maturity. A loan is categorized as a refinanced loan when the debtor is experiencing payment problems and asks for a new payment schedule that will allow the debtor to comply with the installments. This policy is based on internal models and past experience as well as IFRS.

•

Internal overdue loans: Includes overdue loans and under legal collection loans. See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (7) Selected statistical information – 7.3 Loan Portfolio – 7.3.9 Internal overdue Loan Portfolio” for further detail.

As of December 31, 2021, 89.57% and 6.50% of the loan portfolio was concentrated in Peru and Bolivia, respectively, which represent, separately, more than 54.00% and 3.92% of total assets of the Group, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, 91.00% and 6.31% of the loan portfolio was concentrated in Peru and Bolivia, respectively.

7.3.3 Concentrations of loan portfolio and lending limits

As of December 31, 2021, loans and other off-balance-sheet exposure to our 20 largest customers (considered as economic groups) equaled S/20,562.2 million and represented 13.93% of our total loan portfolio. See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru” for the definition of “economic group”. Our total loans and other off-balance-sheet exposure outstanding to each of these customers ranged from S/604.3 million to S/1,947.3 million, including 11 customers with over S/830.5 million. Total loans and other off-balance-sheet exposure outstanding to our 20 largest customers were ranked in the following risk categories as of December 31, 2021: Class A (normal)—95.56%; Class B (potential problems)—0.43%; Class C (substandard)—3.33%; Class D (doubtful)—0.00% percent; and Class E (loss)—0.68%. For further information, see “– 7.3 Loan Portfolio – 7.3.7 Classification of the Loan Portfolio”.

BCP Stand-alone’s loans to a single borrower are subject to lending limits imposed by Law No. 26702. See “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru”. The lending limits depend on the nature of the borrower involved and the type of collateral received. The sum of BCP Stand-alone’s loans and deposits in either another Peruvian universal bank or Peruvian FI, plus any guarantees of third-party performance received by BCP Stand-alone from such institution, may not exceed 30% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital (as defined by the SBS). The sum of BCP Stand-alone’s loans and deposits in non-Peruvian financial institutions, plus any guarantees of third-party performance received by BCP Stand-alone from such institutions, are limited to 5%, 10% or 30% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital, depending upon the level of government supervision of the institution and whether the institution is recognized by the BCRP as an international bank of prime credit quality. The limits on lending to non-Peruvian financial institutions increase to 50% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital if the amount by which such loans exceed the 5%, 10% or 30% limits is backed by certain letters of credit.

BCP Stand-alone’s loans to Directors and employees and their relatives have a global limit of 7% of regulatory capital and an individual limit of 5% of such global limit.

164

Content

Loans to non-Peruvian individuals or companies that are not financial institutions have a limit of 5% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital. However, this limit increases to 10% if the additional 5% is guaranteed by a mortgage or certain publicly traded securities. The limit rises to 30% if the additional amount is guaranteed by certain banks or by cash deposits in BCP Stand-alone. Lending on an unsecured basis to individuals or companies residing in Peru that are not financial institutions is limited to 10% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital. This limit rises to 15% if the additional 5% is guaranteed by a mortgage, certain securities, equipment or other collateral, and to 20% if the additional amount is either backed by certain debt instruments guaranteed by other local banks or a foreign bank determined by the BCRP to be of prime credit quality, or by other highly liquid securities at market value. The single borrower lending limit for loans backed by a cash deposit at BCP Stand-alone or by debt obligations of the BCRP is 30% of BCP Stand-alone’s regulatory capital.

Considering the regulatory capital of BCP Stand-alone, which amounted to S/22,772.2 million on December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone’s legal lending limits varied from S/1,138.6 million to S/11,386.1 million. The Group’s consolidated lending limits, based on our regulatory capital on a consolidated basis of S/29,741.6 million on December 31, 2021, ranged from S/1,487.1 million to S/14,870.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, BCP Stand-alone was in compliance with the lending limits of Law No. 26702.

As of December 31, 2021, we complied with the applicable legal lending limits in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. These limits are calculated quarterly based upon our consolidated equity plus reserves for impaired loans not specifically identified at quarter-end. We have also set internal lending limits, which are more restrictive than those imposed by law. A limited number of exceptions to our internal limits have been authorized by our Board of Directors based on the credit quality of the borrower, the term of the loan, and the amount and quality of collateral provided. We may, in appropriate and limited circumstances, increase or choose to exceed these internal limits as long as our credit exposure does not exceed the legal lending limits.

We may experience an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations if (i) customers to which we have significant credit exposure are not able to satisfy their obligations to us, and any related collateral is not sufficient to cover these obligations, or (ii) a reclassification of one or more of these loans or other off-balance sheet exposure results in an increase in provisions for loan losses.

7.3.7 Classification of the loan portfolio

We classify Credicorp’s loan portfolio in accordance with internal practices. According to these criteria, all loans and other credits are classified into one of four categories based upon the purpose of the loan. These categories are:

(1)

Commercial loans, which generally finance the production and sale of goods and services, including commercial leases, as well as credit card debt on cards held by business entities.

(2)

Microbusiness loans, which are exclusively targeted for the production and sale of goods and services, are made to individuals or companies with no more than S/300,000 in total loans received from the financial system (excluding mortgage loans).

(3)

Consumer loans, which are generally granted to individuals, including credit card transactions, overdrafts on personal demand deposit accounts, leases, and financing goods or services not related to a business activity.

(4)

Residential mortgage loans, which are all the loans granted to individuals for the purchase, construction, remodeling, subdivision or improvement of the individual’s home, in each case backed by a mortgage. Mortgage loans made to Directors and employees of a company are also considered residential mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed loans are considered commercial loans. The classification of the loan determines the amount to reserve should the borrower fail to make payments as they become due.

We employ a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. Our usual practice is to take security for fund advances. We implement guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are mortgages over residential properties, liens over business assets (such as premises, inventory and accounts receivable), and liens over financial instruments (such as debt securities and equities).

Long term financing and lending to corporate entities are generally secured, while revolving individual credit facilities are generally unsecured. In order to minimize credit loss, we seek additional collateral as soon as impairment indicators become apparent.

We determine the appropriate collateral to hold as security for financial assets (other than loans) according to the nature of the instrument. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured, except for asset-backed securities and other similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments.

Our management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of the additional collateral obtained during its review of the allowance for impairment losses. Our policy is to dispose of repossessed properties in an orderly manner. We use the proceeds to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In general, we do not use repossessed properties for our own business.

We review our loan portfolio on a continuing basis and we classify our loans based upon risk by assessing the following factors: (i) the payment history of the particular loans, (ii) the history of our dealings with the borrower, (iii) the borrower’s management, (iv) the borrower’s operating history, (v) the borrower’s repayment capability, (vi) the borrower’s availability of funds, (vii) the status of collaterals or guarantees, (viii) the borrower’s financial statements, (ix) the general risk of the sector in which the borrower operates, (x) the borrower’s risk classification made by other financial institutions and (xi) other relevant factors.

Content

In accordance with IFRS7, we classify our loan portfolio, according to its credit risk quality, in one of the three following levels:

•

Loans neither past due nor impaired: this level comprises those direct loans which are zero days past due and which are not in default.

•

Past due but unimpaired loans: this level comprises those direct loans for which debtors have failed to make a payment on the contractually agreed due date but are not in default.

•

Impaired loans: this level comprises all the direct loans in default.

We continually review our loan portfolio to assess the completeness and accuracy of our loan classifications.

We assess financial guarantees and letters of credit in the same way we assess loans.

When a borrower is in a country where there is an increased risk of difficulty servicing external debt, we assess the political and economic conditions in that country, and factor additional country risk into our assessment.

When we determine that a loan is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for loan impairment. We write off these loans after all necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is determined. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for loan impairment in our consolidated income statements.

The following tables show our direct loan portfolio at the dates indicated:

7.3.8 Classification of the loan portfolio based on the borrower’s payment performance

We classify a loan as internal overdue according to three criteria: (i) the number of days past-due based on the contractually agreed due date; (ii) the banking subsidiary; and (iii) the type of loan. In that sense:

•

BCP Stand-alone, SEAH and Mibanco consider loans as internal overdue: (i) after 15 days for corporate, large business and medium business loans; (ii) after 30 days for small and micro business loans and (iii) after 30 days for overdrafts. In the case of consumer, mortgage and leasing loans, the past-due installments are considered overdue after 30 to 90 days; after 90 days, the outstanding balance of the loan is considered overdue.

•

Mibanco Colombia considers loans as internal overdue: (i) after 90 days for commercial loans; (ii) after 60 days for micro business loans; (iii) after 60 days for consumer loans and (iv) after 30 days for mortgage loans.

•

ASB considers loans as internal overdue when they are 1 or more days past due.

•

BCP Bolivia considers loans as internal overdue when they have 30 or more days past due.

Furthermore, with regards to refinanced loans, Credicorp’s policy categorizes a loan as “refinanced” when a debtor is experiencing payment problems and asks for a new payment schedule that will allow the debtor to comply with the installments. This policy is based on internal models and experience as well as IFRS.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – 7.3.7 Classification of the Loan Portfolio” and “– 7.3.8 Classification of the loan portfolio based on the borrower’s payment performance”. The balance of the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 are included in Note 7(c) to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses was S/9,071.0 million which meant a decrease of 13.08% compared to S/10,435.6 million in 2020. The allowance for loan losses, as of December 31, 2021, included S/8,477.3 million for direct loans losses and S/593.7 million for indirect loan losses or off-balance-sheet exposure losses as compared to S/9,898.8 million and S/536.8 million, respectively, in 2020.

The write-off process is performed with prior approval of our board of Directors and the SBS. Potential write-offs are considered by the board of Directors on a case-by-case basis.

Provision for credit losses on loan portfolio decreased to S/1,212.2 million in 2021 from S/5,920.5 million in 2020. This decrease is primarily explained by the extraordinarily high provision made in 2020, which represented an increase from S/1,845.9 million in 2019 and reflected Credicorp’s perceptions of risk and a deterioration of Credicorp’s loan portfolio due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of the Group’s clients.

7.3.12 Allocation of allowance for loan losses

The following table sets forth the amounts of our allowance for loan losses attributable to commercial, microbusiness, consumer, and residential mortgage loans at the dates indicated (see also Note 7(c) to the consolidated financial statements):

	As of December 31,
	2019		2020		2021
Allowance for loan losses for:	(in thousands of Soles)
Commercial loans		1,870,047		3,616,932		3,991,453
Microbusiness		1,636,487		3,144,154		2,208,049
Consumer loans		1,464,745		2,765,113		1,896,776
Residential mortgage loans		536,480		909,424		974,733
Total		5,507,759		10,435,623		9,071,011

Credicorp’s total allowance for loan losses decreased by 13.1% from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021. This was mainly driven by: (i) calibrations of the internal credit risk models, both Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD), which generated a decrease in Stage 1 and 2 loans that was partially offset by updates to macroeconomic models and projections; (ii) a high volume of write-offs, which generated a decrease in Stage 3, mostly due to the impairments generated by the COVID-19 pandemic, mainly in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco.

The main methodological calibration made in the internal credit risk models during 2021 were:

•

PD models: we evaluated if the adjustments implemented during the first wave of COVID-19 and the measurement of credit risk given the subsequent aid measures implemented by the Peruvian government and the Group were still appropriate; particularly in a context where those aid measures had already expired (or were never given) and we had observed enough payment behavior.

173

Content

Therefore, we began again to use actual customer payment records to measure credit risk in some segments first, in Consumer loans, and then in the Mortgage and SME segments also considering the additional political uncertainty. BCP Stand-alone ended 2021 with models in which more than 90% of the retail portfolio and approximately two-thirds of the SME portfolio (without considering Reactiva Peru loans) was calibrated using historical default rates.

•

LGD models: we evaluated whether the assumptions implemented during 2020 were still adequate. Given that observed payment behavior was better than expected, we adjusted the roll rates in all segments; but we kept the assumptions on the evolution of real estate prices in the future, because we expect a less dynamic macroeconomic environment in the coming years.

The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding increased from 4.94% in 2019 to 7.91% in 2020, due to the recognition of the deterioration of the credit risk quality of Credicorp’s loan portfolio as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic from 2019 to 2020, which resulted in general increases in PD and LGD estimates that Credicorp uses to calculate the allowance for loan losses of its loan portfolio. In 2021, this ratio decreased to 6.44% due to a decrease in the allowance for loan losses resulting from PD and LGD estimates decreasing as uncertainty related to the pandemic partially dissipated. The diminished uncertainty was partially offset by higher perceived risk to the Peruvian macroeconomic outlook due to political uncertainty. The allowance for loan losses also decreased due to an elevated level of write-offs in 2021 compared to 2019 and 2020, as discussed in the following paragraph.

The ratio of net write-offs to average loans outstanding ratio decreased from 1.4% in 2019 to 0.6% in 2020 as defaults were postponed due to clients receiving government and Credicorp support to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Postponed defaults started to materialize in late 2020 and continued materializing in 2021. Consequently, net write-offs increased from S/0.62 billion in 2020 to S/1.94 billion in 2021 (compared to S/1.24 billion in 2019). Net write-offs particularly increased in 2021 at BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco Peru due to disproportionate defaults related to the pandemic by their clients.

Content

Our total deposits and obligations without interest payable increased 5.6% from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021, which is attributable to an increase in the level of total savings and demand deposits, mainly at BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. The increase in savings and demand deposits was related to greater liquidity due to the Peruvian government’s approval of new law in 2021 that allowed clients to withdraw their severance indemnity funds and part of their funds from AFPs, as well as reducing from 55 to 50 the age to access early retirement, and the effects of exchange rates.

(1) Management Discussion and Analysis

a) General Economic Conditions

In 2021, the global economy experienced an extraordinary rebound after one of the most difficult health and economic crises as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Peru, the economy started to reactivate after due to the relaxation of social distancing measures. In 2021, Peruvian GDP expanded by 13.3%, reflecting a favorable international economic environment and an uptick in several economic indicators for the local economy, such as consumption, employment, debit, and credit cards transactions, among others.

After maintaining an expansive economic policy and stimulating the economy through several mechanisms, the BCRP started a contractionary economic policy to curb inflation. In 2021, core inflation (excluding food and energy) was 6.4%, with inflation registering above the target of 3% since June 2021. The BCRP has rose the reference rate and set it at 4.50% in April 2022. With these measures, the BCRP expect to return to inflations target levels.

b) Credicorp 2021 Financial Performance

In 2021, Credicorp generated S/3,584.6 million of net profit attributable to its equity holders and net basic earnings per common share attributable to its equity holders of S/45.09, as compared with S/346.9 million of net profit attributable to its equity holders and net basic earnings per common share attributable to its equity holders of S/4.37 in 2020. This translates to a return on average assets (ROAA) of 1.49% and a return on average equity (ROAE) of 13.94% in 2021, up from 0.16% and 1.36%, respectively, in 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, loans, net of unearned income, totaled S/147,597.4 million, representing an increase of 7.2% compared to S/137,659.9 million as of December 31,2020. This growth was driven by Wholesale Banking, SME-Pyme, and Mibanco, all of which benefited from economic reactivation after the government started loosening pandemic restrictions while the sanitary situation improved. Total deposits grew to S/150,340.9 million as of December 31, 2021, up S/7,975.4 million from S/142,365.5 million as of December 31, 2020, which was primarily driven by a 13.7% increase in saving deposits, from S/50,069.1 million as of December 31, 2020 to S/56,945.3 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase in saving deposits was primarily due to more liquidity in the system as a consequence of Pension and Severance Indemnity funds were released.

In 2021, net interest income was S/9,362.0 million, up from S/8,571.3 million, or 9.2%, with respect to 2020. This increase was fueled by growth in structural loans and a reduction in the funding cost. The latter was attributable to growth in low-cost deposits and a decrease in market rates. In this context, NIM was situated at 4.10%, 20 basis points below the figure reported in 2020, in line with the decrease in interest rates.

The provisions for credit losses on loan portfolio, net of recoveries, totaled S/1,212.2 million for 2021, representing a contraction of 79.5% from S/5,920.5 million for 2020. Thus, cost of risk in 2021 was 0.82% as compared to 4.30% in 2020. Additionally, the reduction in allowance for loan losses and the expansion registered by the Non-performing loan portfolio, led to a subsequent decrease in the coverage ratio for the Non-performing loan portfolio, which was positioned at 115.3% in 2021, as compared to 156.1% in 2020.

In 2021, other income was S/4,926.9 million, representing a 11.8% increase compared to S/4,406.2 million in 2020. This was attributable to an increase in line with economic reactivation and new services in our digital channels. In this context, fee income was the component that registered the most significant impact with an increase of S/581.0 million or 19.9%.

Credicorp’s underwriting result was (S/3.7) million in 2021 representing a decline of S/361.8 million, or (101.0%), compared to S/358.1 reported in 2020. This was attributable to growth in claims in the life insurance business due to COVID-19-related mortality rates in the second wave, which was partially mitigated by an increase in both Life and P&C businesses.

The efficiency ratio in 2021 improved by 40 basis points to 45.9% (as compared to 46.3% in 2020), which was due to an increase in income, mainly at net interest income and fee income.

These results reflect the economic reactivation registered in 2021, as well as the positive effects of the higher levels of vaccination on the population.

(2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment

Although Credicorp Ltd. is incorporated in Bermuda, the holding, through BCP Stand-alone, has been present in the Peruvian financial sector for over 130 years. It is important to note that most of BCP Stand-alone, Prima AFP, Mibanco, and a significant part of Credicorp Capital’s and Grupo Pacifico’s operations and customers are located in Peru. In addition, although ASHC is based outside of Peru, a substantial number of its customers are also located in Peru. Therefore, our results of operations and financial health could be affected by political and economic changes or policies in Peru.

For further details, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our geographic location exposes us to risk related to Peruvian political, social and economic conditions”.

Political Environment

Historically, Peru has experienced political instability, including domestic terrorism, military coups, and a succession of regimes that featured heavy government intervention. In 1995, when Credicorp was established, President Alberto Fujimori was re-elected, despite the administration being accused of authoritarian behavior, including dissolving Peru’s congress in 1992 and crafting a new constitution in 1993. In 2000, Fujimori was ousted and succeeded by a transitional government led by Valentin Paniagua, who called for elections to be held in April 2001.

The presidents who have been elected since 2001 include Alejandro Toledo, from 2001 to 2006; Alan Garcia, from 2006 to 2011; Ollanta Humala from 2011 to 2016; and Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, whose term began in 2016 and was set to end in 2021. Since early 2017, Peruvian prosecutors have been investigating former and current local officials for allegedly accepting bribes from Odebrecht, a Brazilian construction company implicated in the Lava Jato investigation. In midst of the Lava Jato investigation, in December 2017, Peru’s congress proposed a motion to remove the president; however, the motion failed to gain the required 87 votes for approval. In March 2018, congress presented a second motion to remove the president. On March 21, 2018, President Kuczynski resigned amid political turmoil. His resignation was accepted on March 22, and on March 23, Martin Vizcarra, Kuczynski’s former vice-president, took office as President for a term ending on July 28, 2021.

Under President Vizcarra’s term, political turmoil continued. On December 9, 2018, a nationwide referendum was held to address the following issues: (i) re-election of members of Peru’s congress, (ii) reforms regarding financing for political parties, (iii) a reform of the judiciary system, and (iv) return to the bicameral parliamentary system. All the reforms, excluding the latter, were approved. Moreover, President Vizcarra dissolved the congress on September 30, 2019, after it delivered two votes of no-confidence to two different cabinets during the same presidential term and called for parliamentary elections on January 26, 2020. On January 15, 2020, the Constitutional Court ruled that the dissolution of Peru’s congress was constitutional. As a result of the parliamentary elections held in January 2020, a new Peruvian congress was formed, and with a plan to carry out its functions until July 2021. After a first presidential vacancy motion failed in September 2020, in November 2020, congress presented a second presidential vacancy motion based on corruption allegations against Vizcarra’s term as a Regional Governor from 2011 to 2014. The motion succeeded, with 105 votes cast in favor. On November 10, 2020, Manuel Merino, president of Peru’s congress, assumed control of the government. This generated riots across the country, particularly among the young adult population. On November 15, 2020, President Merino resigned, amid extremely high political turmoil and uncertainty not seen in 20 years. Peru’s congress elected a new Directive Board led by Francisco Sagasti, and on November 16, 2020, Sagasti assumed the presidency for a term set to end on July 28, 2021.

In 2021, the deterioration in the political environment hardened after Pedro Castillo, of the far-left party Peru Libre won the presidential elections with 50.13% of the votes. These results entailed an important fragmentation of Congress, as 10 political parties became part of the parliament’s composition. Since July 2021, after continuous messages from the executive of greater state control of the economy, promises to expand popular loans, greater spending on social services such as education and health, a new system of universal pension plans, the expropriation of various mining and hydrocarbon operations, and a new constituent assembly, political and regulatory uncertainty became even more fragmented and risk perception increased. In this riskier environment, in September 2021 the rating agency Moody’s Investor reduced Peru’s foreign-currency long-term debt credit rating to Baa1 from A3 and changed the outlook to Stable from Negative. In October 2021, the rating agency Standard and Poor’s maintained Peru’s credit rating at A- but lowered the outlook to negative from stable.

President Castillo has appointed four prime ministers since July-2021, Guido Bellido in July 2021, Mirtha Vasquez in October 2021, Hector Valer in February 2022, and Anibal Torres in February 2022. The current minister of finance is Oscar Graham is an experienced economist from the Central Bank and has worked at the Ministry of Finance (MEF) as General Director of Financial Markets and as an advisor to the Minister. However, support for the president is around 25%, and disapproval is at 69%, according to a survey led by Ipsos in February 2022. The high disapproval of the government reduces the risk of a Constituent Assembly and a radical change in the economic regime. If this context continues, agents anticipate that it would be unlikely to see a net capital outflow like the one in 2021, which reached a historical record of around US$16.5 billion (7.3% of GDP).

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment” and “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our geographic location exposes us to risk related to Peruvian political, social and economic conditions.”

Macroeconomic Environment

The adoption of market-oriented macroeconomic policies since the early 1990s, and two decades of strong macroeconomic fundamental outlook for Peru’s economy and stable credit rating have allowed the country to grow at an average annual rate of 4.9% from 2001 to 2019, according to data from the BCRP. Between 2000 and 2013, the Peruvian economy, on average, outperformed the global economy primarily due to favorable metal prices and financial conditions. Nonetheless, since 2014 the Peruvian economy has been affected by several economic shocks such as decline in metal prices, contraction of public investment, El Niño Phenomenon of 2017, the Lava-Jato investigations, and political turmoil. As such, the average annual growth rate for the Peruvian economy from 2014 through 2019 stood at 3.1% and remained among the highest of the Latin American region economies.

Peruvian economic policy has been based on three pillars: trade policy, fiscal policy and monetary policy. Peru has maintained an open trade policy for more than two decades. Some examples of Peru’s open trade policy include free trade agreements with the United States in effect since 2009, with China since 2011, with Chile, Colombia and Mexico in the Pacific Alliance. In addition, after the withdrawal of the United States from the TPP, the remaining Pacific Rim countries, including Peru, entered into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2018.

Before the economic shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peruvian policymakers maintained a conservative and prudent approach to fiscal policy and government spending, and Peru’s fiscal policy evolved since 1999 to promote sound macroeconomic fundamentals. Peru’s debt-to-GDP ratio fell from 51.1% in 1999 to 26.8% in 2019 as the government cut its spending and privatized most state-run enterprises. Peru’s fiscal position also benefited from the accumulation of surpluses most years in the period from 2004 to 2013, resources that help Peru to respond to the pandemic needs in 2020 and 2021. Since 2009, the government approved the Law of Responsibility and Fiscal Transparency that include a set of macroeconomic fiscal rules that have been evolving up to 2019. The main rules are as follows: (a) the fiscal deficit must not exceed 1% of GDP; (b) public debt cannot exceed 30% of GDP. In exceptional cases of financial volatility, and only if other fiscal rules are met, a temporal deviation of 4 percentage points of GDP is allowed; (c) non-financial spending by the government is limited by long-run real GDP growth of the economy (+/- 1 %). Compliance with this rule assumes mutual compliance with the two prior fiscal rules; and (d) Current spending by the government, excluding for maintenance, cannot exceed the long-run real GDP growth of the economy (-1%). Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, fiscal rules were suspended exceptionally for the years 2020 and 2021, by Legislative Decree No.1457, which was published on April 12, 2020.

Regarding Peru’s monetary policy, the BCRP obtained its independence in 1992, and officially presides over a reserve banking system. The BCRP has had an inflation target of 2.0% (+/-1%) since 2007, the lowest in Latin America, reflecting the BCRP’s commitment to price stability. The BCRP has considerable foreign reserves that closed 2021 at US$78.5billion (approximately 35% of Peru’s GDP) and as of February 11th, 2022 is US$77.5 billion). The BCRP also has other mechanisms to provide liquidity to Peru’s domestic financial system. The BCRP also sets regulations for the financial system, including pension funds, in coordination with the SBS. Finally, the currency regime in Peru does not have currency controls or barriers to capital inflows but the BCRP is an important player in the market, selling or buying US Dollars to soften volatility.

COVID-19 Measures

In 2020, the global economy was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. During this unprecedented health crisis, we are engaged in reducing the contagion not only within our facilities but also across Peru and in the countries in which we operate.

While the impact of the pandemic on our operational results and financial condition remains extremely difficult to predict, we may expect to experience negative impacts on Credicorp’s consolidated financial results during the current fiscal year, depending on the length of the pandemic and Peruvian government measures to control COVID-19. We are closely monitoring the evolution of the pandemic, in order to take preventive measures to ensure the continuity of operations.

For further information on COVID-19’s impact on our business, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control.”

Below, we highlight the relevant COVID-19 measures taken in the countries in which we operate.

Peru

In Peru, former president Vizcarra established a state of emergency on March 16, 2020 and ordered a general lockdown on the country. Minor exceptions were made for key sectors (specifically, food supply, health, and banking). The lockdown resulted in a contraction of economic activity of 11% from 2019 to 2020. In response to the major public health and economic shocks from COVID-19, the MEF, the BCRP, the SBS, and Peru’s Congress offered an ample package of measures to mitigate and stimulate the economy for the equivalent of approximately 20% of GDP. The measures enacted by the MEF include tax relief, public spending, access to private savings (pension fund accounts and severance indemnity deposits), and government-backed liquidity programs.

On the monetary policy side, the BCRP lowered its reference rate by 200 basis points to 0.25% from 2020 to July 2021, a historic minimum, and has provided liquidity for 6 to 12 months through Repo operations since March 2020.

On Government Loans Program , in particular, the government supported the business sector through two government-backed programs: (i) Reactiva Peru, a liquidity program that aimed to quickly and effectively meet the liquidity needs of companies facing the impacts of COVID-19 with government guarantee coverage levels between 80% to 98%, and (ii) The Business Support Fund (FAE-Mype) program enabled banks and microfinance entities to provide small and micro businesses loans for up to S/4.0 billion with government guarantee coverage levels between 90% and 98%. The government also established a COVID-19 Guarantees Program in October 2020 for consumer, personal, mortgages, vehicle and SME loan rescheduling. The program enabled loan rescheduling with a government guarantee in which financial institutions lower interest rates to their clients by at least 15%. The government guarantee was partial and progressive depending on each loan segment (according to the previous client’s performance and segment, they stand between 40% and 80%).

Likewise, the SBS applied macro-prudential measures during the pandemic, which included: (i) the inapplicability of the LCR, (ii) flexibility of capital requirements for rescheduled loans and use of cyclical capital buffers, and (iii) cero generic and capital provisions for Reactiva Peru and FAE-Mype loans, this only affects the domestic accounting system and not the NIIF accounting system. Moreover, the SBS introduced micro-prudential measures, which included, most notably, the massive loan rescheduling scheme from financial institutions to retail loans and medium-size firm loans.

During the first quarter of 2021 the government announced additional measures to support firms. In February 2021 it created the Enterprise Support Program for Small and Micro businesses (PAE-Mype, by its Spanish initials) and authorized the program for up to S/2 billion through Urgenct Decree No. 019-2021. The program is similar to FAE-Mype, but covers loans of up to S/60,000, with government guaranteed coverages between 90% and 98%, whereas the FAE-Mype covers loans for up to S/30,000. In addition, in March 2021 the government also enabled the rescheduling of Reactiva Peru and FAE-Mype loans through Urgent Decrees No. 026-2021 and 029-2021, respectively. In the case of Reactiva Peru loans, up to S/16 billion can be rescheduled should they meet specific criteria (depending on the size of the loan up to S/90,000, the criteria consider a decline of sales of 10% or 20% in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019), and the ability to grant another grace period of 12 months. The government also established a government transfer to vulnerable households in February 2021 of S/600 for each 4.2 million vulnerable households, totaling approximately S/2.5 billion.

Regarding public finances, the government tapped into the international debt market in order to finance its spending needs during 2020. In April 2020, the government issued US$3 billion in two branches: (i) US$1 billion with a 5-year tenor, coupon rate of 2.392%, and 200 basis points spread over Treasury, and (ii) US$2 billion with a 10-year tenor, coupon rate of 2.783%, and 212.5 basis points spread over Treasury. Moreover, in November 2020, the government issued US$4 billion in three branches: (i) US$1 billion with a 12-year tenor, coupon rate of 1.862%, and 100 basis points spread over Treasury, (ii) US$2 billion with a 40-year tenor, coupon rate of 2.780%, and 125 basis points spread over Treasury, and (iii) US$1 billion with 101-year tenor, coupon rate of 3.230%, and 170 basis points spread over Treasury.

Peru’s Congress proposed and adopted populist measures including, but not limited to: (i) Nation Pension Fund system withdrawals for up to S/4,300 of individual contributions (later declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court), (ii) interest rate ceilings established by the BCRP and limits on certain fee charges by the SBS, and (iii) the following measures regarding the Private Pension Fund System. Congress also proposed measures that implied higher public spending such as: (i) the government’s payment of the debt derived from court rulings against the three levels of government, (ii) the elimination of the Administrative Contracting of Services (Contratacion Administrativa de Servicios or CAS by its Spanish initials) labor regime in the public sector (estimated cost of S/4.2 billion), (iii) the regulation of the collective negotiation at the public sector (which excluded the Ministry of Finance’s technical reports for its application), and (iv) the renegotiation of toll payments in the national roadways amid the national emergency (later declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court). In March 2021, the congress approved a bill that enables the Central Bank to establish interest rates ceilings for banking loan operations, as well as certain fee charge regulations. Therefore, regulatory risks after the COVID-19 crisis are important to monitor due to their potential impact on Credicorp’s businesses.

In 2021, a new law permitting withdrawals of the individual Pension Fund were approved by government and Congress. This law allows two withdrawals per person during the year, with amounts depending on the total amount of the individual fund. The average withdrawal was approximately 12 thousand soles each, and each withdrawal was paid in two parts. Congress also approved a new law permitting the extraordinary withdrawal of 100% of the severance indemnity deposits until December 31, 2021.

Since August 2021, in response to the global inflationary process due to the global pandemic responses, the Central Bank raised its policy rate in 7 increases since August, totaling 325 bps from 0.25% to 3.50% in February 2022. Throughout 2021, the BCRP made net sales of US$11,626 million (compared to net purchases of US$405 million in 2019 and US$159 million in 2020) in order to control high volatility of the foreign exchange. Moreover, Peru’s net international reserves stood at US$78.5 billion as of December 31, 2021 (compared to US$68.3 billion at the end of 2019 and US$74.7 billion at the end of 2020).

At the beginning of 2021, COVID-19 cases started to increase once again, and the Ministry of Health declared the occurrence of a second wave in Peru. The government established restrictive measures based on the severity of COVID-19 indicators, including the designation of high, very high and extreme risk levels. On January 28, 2021 the government ordered a new focalized lockdown from January 31 to February 28, 2021. Since February 2021, the Government has implemented other temporary and localized lockdowns in order to mitigate COVID-19 contagion. At the same time, COVID-19 vaccine doses started to arrive to Peru in February 2021, and the vaccination process begun.

For further details, please refer to our previous 20-F documents under “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic Environment” and “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control.”

Bolivia

In December 2020, the following was approved with respect to taxes: (i) a tax on “Fortunes,” applicable to all natural persons with assets above Bs 30 million, with a tax range between 1.4% to 2.4%, and estimated impact to 130 families; (ii) a refund of the VAT of 5% of the sales price subject to VAT (13% in Bolivia) for natural persons with average monthly income equal to or less than Bs 9,000 (US$1,300). Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic implemented in 2020 remained in force in 2021. With respect to the financial system, the government renewed a deferral of bank loan payments until July 2021 (clients did not pay capital or interests since March 2020). In December 2020, the government decreed that other entities of the financial system, such as general deposit warehouses, investment fund management companies, brokerage agencies, and securitization companies, must pay an additional 25% tax on profits if their profitability exceeds 6% per year. So far, the measure has only applied to banks and financial companies. Additionally, the government approved the capitalization of 100% of the 2020 net profits obtained by banks and financial entities.

The government also approved an increase in the national minimum wage by 2.0% in 2021, as well as a bill that allowed a partial or total withdrawal of individual pension fund accounts, which according to the Ministry of Finance reached 1,070 billion Bolivianos or 0.4% of GDP.

Bolivia’s credit rating deteriorated. In March 2021, S&P affirmed the country’s B+ rating but changed its outlook to negative from stable on a rising governmental debt burden. In September 2021 Moody’s affirmed the B2 rating but changed outlook to negative due to large and recurring fiscal deficits, a declining foreign exchange reserves and large government financing needs in the next years. Finally, in October 2021 Fitch affirmed the B credit rating with outlook stable.

Colombia

The COVID-19 pandemic hit Colombia while its economy was in the process of gradual recovery from a drop in oil prices. Colombia has exhibited the highest level of current account deficit in the region, while public debt has been increasing over the past years. In Colombia, the government established a state of emergency on March 12, 2020. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (DANE), the economy contracted 6.8% during 2020.

To cope with the economic shock of COVID-19, Colombia’s government gradually implemented a series of measures such as grace periods and credit restructuring for individuals and legal entities, wage subsidies, deferment of payment of corporate income taxes and household transfers. Moreover, the Central Bank cut the reference rate by 250 basis points to a new minimum of 1.75% in September 2020.

Likewise, in September 2020, the government took advantage of the low interest rates and held two global bond issuances of US$2,500.0 million (representing 0.8% of 2019 GDP), with maturities of 11 and 31 years and at historically low interest rates.

On May 2021, Fitch and S&P gave a BB+ rating for Colombia debt, losing its investment grade rating.

The Ministry of Health announced that it had signed a contract with the COVAX facilities to acquire vaccines for Colombian citizens. The vaccination process started on February 17, 2021.

In 2021, unspent resources from the emergency mitigation fund (FOME) created last year will be used to finance the extension of some transfer programs during the first half of 2021 as well as to fund the vaccination program.

Chile

Chile’s GDP grew 11.7% in 2021 (one of the fastest growth rates in Latin America and among emerging countries), rebounding significantly from its 5.8% contraction in 2020. The economic recovery has been a positive surprise to many observers; it has been attributable to unprecedented fiscal support, favorable external conditions with copper prices, its main export product, reaching all-time highs in May 2021 and one of the most successful vaccination processes within the Latam region. Likewise, Chile’s COVID-19 vaccination process continues evolving positively, and Chile leads the region in terms of population vaccinated for COVID-19; it is even one of most highly vaccinated countries in the world. In fact, during January 2022, the government started distributing 4th doses of COVID-19 vaccines. As a result, the GDP is expected to grow around 8% in 2022 according to BCCh statistics, above pre-pandemic levels.

Inflation in Chile accelerated during the second half of 2021, ending at 7.2% in 2021 according to INE, its highest rate in fourteen years and largely above the 2.0% to 4.0% target range of the BCCh. In response to this inflation, the BCCh started the process of normalizing its monetary policy in July 2021 and, since then has increased its reference rate by 500 basis points to 5.50% as of January 2022. Prices were also driven by a large depreciation the Chilean pesos against the U.S. dollars of almost 20% from December 2020 to December 2021.

In politics, on May 15 and 16, 2021, Chile held a Constitutional Convention Election to select the members of the body in charge of writing its new Constitution; results showed that left-wing parties would predominate. On December 19, 2021, Chile held a runoff presidential election, in which Gabriel Boric was elected president with 56% of the votes while the conservative candidate, Jose Antonio Kast from the Republican Party, obtained 44%. In congressional elections, in the upper house, the right-wing coalition increased its participation from 44% to 50%, while in the lower chamber, it reduced its participation from 46% to 44%. However, the left-wing coalition now is even more fragmented. The new administration will have no majority in Congress and heightened uncertainty will surround the constitutional process with the exit plebiscite, where the population will vote to accept or reject the new Constitution, expected to take place in September 2022.

In this context, during the last two years, Chile’s sovereign credit rating has deteriorated. On October 15, 2020, Fitch downgraded Chile’s long-term foreign currency rating from A to A- in response primarily to a marked deterioration in fiscal accounts. And on March 24, 2021, Standard and Poor’s followed suit cutting its rating to A from A+, due to the expectation that the country’s public finances will stabilize at a structurally weaker level.

Panama

Panama was one of the Latin American countries hardest hit by the pandemic due to the importance of the services sector, which represents more than 75% of GDP, and its reliance on external demand. Its model as a regional trade, logistics and financial hub, highly integrated into the world economy, left it vulnerable to a severe global downturn. The prolonged social distancing measures also played an important role in making the 2020 recession an unprecedented one, where GDP fell 17.9%.

Panama’s economy grew 15.3% in 2021 after a historical contraction in 2020. However, the recovery has been weaker compared to other countries where Credicorp operates given the lack of fiscal space to adopt an expansionary fiscal policy and the absence of a central bank that executes its own monetary policy as it is a dollarized economy. In that sense, GDP is still 5.4% below pre pandemic levels (year 2019). Growth in 2021 has been supported by the continued global economic recovery, big infrastructure projects and the first full year of copper production of Minera Cobre Panama. This mining project has been the largest private investment project in Panama’s history (US$6.7 billion or 10.0% of 2019 GDP) and will be part of the top 15 copper production mines in the world. Copper exports have more than doubled from US$1.1 billion in 2020 to US$2.8 billion in 2021, representing 79% of total exports (in comparison to 0% in 2019).

Panama faces important public debt sustainability issues and is part of the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Public debt as a percentage of GDP peaked in 2020 at 68% of GDP. As a result of this weakened fiscal position, Panama’s credit rating has suffered downgrades. In November 2020, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) reduced its credit rating to BBB with stable outlook and later, in August 2021, changed the outlook to negative. Additionally, in March 2021, Moody’s also lowered its credit rating by one notch to Baa2. Lastly, in February 2020, Fitch changed its outlook to negative (BBB) and a year later, in February 2021 it downgraded its credit rating to BBB- with no upgrade of the outlook, which left Panama only one notch above investment grade. As of December 2021, Panama’s public debt as a percentage of GDP was 63%, still higher than pre-pandemic levels. The outlook was changed from negative to stable in January 2022.

KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control”.

Macroeconomic Results

In 2020, the global economy was shocked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to historical economic contraction, amid the effects of quarantines implemented to mitigate contagion. However, lower revenues and higher spending significantly weakened fiscal accounts, resulting in high fiscal deficits as a percentage of GDP not seen in decades and credit rating downgrades. In that context, in 2020, the Peruvian economy contracted 11%. As a result of higher fiscal expenditure, in December 2020, Fitch revised Peru’s sovereign credit rating outlook in long-term foreign currency from Stable to Negative while affirming its BBB+ rating. According to Fitch, Peru reflects a Negative Outlook due to a weakened government balance sheet and a deterioration of policy predictability, as a result of congressional populist measures in recent months. The weakening of political cohesiveness and institutions since 2016 could undermine the capacity of the next government to implement wide-ranging fiscal, political and productivity enhancing economic reforms.

In 2021, despite a highly fragmented political environment that have resulted in the increase of financial risks and negative shock in business expectations, the Peruvian economy has shown a strong resilience with rebound of 13.3% compared to 2020, helped by better international prices for commodities, the reopening of the economy, and faster vaccination process. Other factors that contributed to the rebound were: (i) high average price of copper of US$4.23 in 2021, which implied an increase of 51% compared to the average price of 2020; as well as (ii) expansionary monetary and fiscal policies.

Even though, the pandemic shock increased the Fiscal Deficit to 8.9% of GDP in 2020, Peru has been able to return to Fiscal Deficit of 2.5% of GDP in January 2022. Therefore, some of the strongest economic indicators as a percentage of 2021 GDP include Foreign Exchange Reserves (35%), Public Debt (36.1%), and Fiscal Balance (2.6%).

On the external accounts side, the current account deficit stood at (2.8%) of GDP in 2021 compared to a surplus of 0.8% of GDP in 2020. In the external sector, the trade balance closed in 2021 at a historical maximum of US$14,757 million. Exports reached 28% of GDP, the highest since the 1950s. The trade balance surplus is expected to widen with the entry into operation of new copper mines that will increase production by around 20% by 2023 vs. 2019. The terms of trade reached their highest level in almost 50 years in 2021. For its part, 2021 saw the largest short-term capital outflow since the 1980s (7.3% of GDP).

On monetary authorities, in October 2021, the new government and Congress ratified Julio Velarde as president of the BCRP, while announcing the election of other three directors of the six that would join Velarde: the economists Roxana Barrantes, José Távara and Germán Alarco. Congress appointed the other three directors: Carlos Oliva (ex-Minister of Finance), Diego Macera, and Inés Marylin Choy. The Board of the Central Bank is made up of 7 members: 1 president of the Board of directors and 6 directors. The executive branch appoints the chairman of the board and other three directors, while Congress appoints another three.

Inflation has been an important global widespread factor in 2021, that has also affected the Peruvian economy. Inflation rate for Metropolitan Lima went from 3.3% in June 2021 to 6.4% in December 2021, and 6.8% in March 2022, due to higher international prices of fuels and grains driven by global supply shocks, higher prices of foods with imported content, and the depreciation of the sun. In response, the Central Bank raised its policy rate in 9 opportunities since August, totaling 425 bp from 0.25% to 4.50% in April 2022. Additionally, the Central Bank will seek to anchor inflation expectations to the target range (1% to 3%), while trying to ensure that the real reference rate (+0.11% as of April 2022) is located in a 0 positive neighborhood.

Throughout 2021, the Central Bank made net sales of US$11,626 million (compared to net purchases of US$405 million in 2019 and US$159 million in 2020) to control high volatility of the foreign exchange. In 2022, the Central Bank has sold US$207 million as of February 25. Moreover, Peru’s net international reserves closed 2021 at US$78.5 billion, (US$68.3 billion at the end of 2019 and US$74.7 billion at the end of 2020) and stood at US$77,505 million as of February 11, 2022. Political instability lingers in Peru, but our economic fundamentals remain strong. Peruvian Soles (PEN) closed 2021 at 3.99, and was as of February 17, 2022 at 3.73, after reaching a peak of 4.14 on October 6, 2021.

Regarding Peru’s Long-Term Foreign Currency Debt Credit Rating, as of September 2021, given rating agency Moody’s view that an increasingly polarized political environment would undermine the effectiveness of the country’s policymaking. Moody’s lowered Peru’s credit rating from A3 (negative) to Baa1 (stable). In October 2021, Fitch Rating lowered Peru’s credit rating from BBB+ (negative) to BBB (stable) and indicates that Peruvian government debt is higher today (37% of GDP) than when the rating was upgraded to BBB+ in 2013 (19% of GDP). For its part, the rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P) changed Peru’s outlook from “stable” to “negative” due to political instability. S&P maintained Peru’s rating at BBB+ (and A- for local currency).

In 2021, the Public Treasury successfully issued global bonds in March and October/November, denominated in USD and Euros. In March, the issue of USD denominated bonds was the reopening of 2031 for US$1.75 billion, and two new references 2041 for US$1.25 billion and 2051 for US$1 billion. Also, in March, the Treasury issued the Euro denominated bond 2033 for Euros 825 million. In the second operation between October and November, the Public Treasury issued USD denominated bonds with the reopening of 2051 for 750 million, and two new sustainable bond references in 2034 for US$2.25 billion and 2072 for US$1 billion; in addition, a new social bond reference 2036 in Euros for 1 billion. As result in 2021 the Public Treasury issued a total of US$8 billion and Euros 1.85 billion. The March operation, at a competitive cost, was intended to finance the financial requirements set forth in the Budget Law for Fiscal Year 2021. The October/November operation will finance the needs of 2022.

In Bolivia, after falling 8.8% in 2020, GDP rebounded close to 7% in 2021 thanks to the easing of restrictions put in place due to the pandemic and a favorable international environment with higher oil and metal prices, which allowed a recovery in sectors such as hydrocarbons and mining. For its part, the decline in international reserves slowed down due to a controlled demand for dollars and higher remittances from Bolivians abroad (as of December 2021, 25% higher compared to the same period in 2020). International reserves closed 2021 at US$4.8 billion (12% of GDP), which decreased by just over US$500 million compared to 2020. Meanwhile, fiscal imbalances persisted with a deficit of around 8% of GDP and a public debt close to 80% of GDP (a high in 17 years).

Colombia was hit hard by the pandemic and the economy contracted by 6.8% in 2020 (as compared to a 3.3% increase in 2019. In the first half of 2021, the normalization of political and social turmoil let the outlook improved as protests eased, the vaccination process accelerated and restrictions on activity subside. In 2021, a faster-than-expected recovery made the economy reach pre-pandemic levels in June and ends 2021 with a growth rate of around 10% (after 2020: (6.8%)). These good results were mainly explained by the notable strength of consumption, as household spending maintained a strong momentum throughout the year amid favorable financial conditions, record remittances from foreign workers and a continued reopening of the economy that boosted spending on services. The government maintained an expansionary spending stance, similar to that of the first year of the pandemic, which also stimulated domestic demand growth. The recovery of investment has been much slower than that observed in consumption, given the prevailing uncertainty due to the political scenario and the presence of the pandemic. Consumer inflation reached 5.6% in December 2021, the highest since December 2016. However, Colombia’s inflation is the lowest in the region. The inflation has been accelerating steadily since March 2021 (1.5%) due to higher international commodities prices and bottlenecks in global supply chains.

Due to a faster-than-expected recovery and inflationary pressures, the Central Bank of Colombia started its monetary policy normalization process from a policy rate of 1.75% in August to 3.0% in December 2021.

On the fiscal side, on April 15, 2021, the government presented a fiscal reform to the Parliament, thus maintaining a trend of tax changes every 2-3 years. The goal was to raise funds (2% of GDP) via mainly a VAT hike, and individual and businesses taxes. A higher tax collection sought to strengthen the main social programs and to achieve the required fiscal adjustment after the strong hit on public finances from the pandemic. However, the government withdrew the tax reform due to growing social protests. After that, the government structured another tax reform project, less ambitious than the previous one, which was approved by Congress in September 2021. The tax reform is expected to limit the risk of further fiscal slippage, at least in the short term, and intends to collect US$4.0 billion. The government issued global bonds in the international markets. In February, it issued global bonds for US$2.8 billion. In April for US$3.0 billion (US$2.0 billion by 2032 and US$1.0 billion by 2042). In October 14, 2021, the government raised US$1.0 billion in the international markets through the reopening of the 2049 global bond.

Afterwards, on May 19, 2021, S&P removed the Investment Grade status of Colombia by cutting the sovereign rating from BBB- to BB+ (outlook stable), while Fitch followed suit with the same move on July 1, 2021. Moody’s in October improved the outlook to stable and kept the rating at Baa2.

In Chile, GDP expanded 11.7% in 2021, one of the fastest catch-up in the Latam region and among emerging countries, rebounding significantly from the 5.9% contraction of 2020. The economic recovery has surprised to the upside thanks to an unprecedented fiscal support, favorable external conditions and one of the most successful vaccination processes within the Latam region. However, because of high government spending, the fiscal deficit rose to 7.6% of GDP and public debt jumped to 36%. Inflation ended the year at 7.2% according to INE, while the BCCh increased its rate by 500 basis points since July to 5.50% in January 2022. Prices were also driven by a large foreign exchange depreciation of almost 20% to USDCLP 850 at the end of 2021. In politics, on May 15 and 16, 2021, Chile held a Constitutional Convention Election to select the members of the body in charge of writing its new Constitution results showed that left-wing parties would predominate. On December 19, 2021, Chile held presidential election runoff, in which Gabriel Boric was elected president with 56% of the votes, while the conservative candidate, Jose Antonio Kast from the Republican Party, obtained 44%.

Panama’s economic recovery has been weaker compared to other countries where Credicorp operates due to the lack of fiscal space to adopt an expansionary fiscal policy and the absence of a central bank that executes its own monetary policy as it is a dollarized economy. So, although the economy rebounded 15.3% in 2021, one of the highest growth rates in the region, GDP is still 5.4% below the same period of 2019. The first full year of copper production of Minera Cobre Panamá has been one of the main drivers of growth. In August 2021, Standard & Poor’s (S&P) changed the outlook of its BBB rating to negative to reflect a weak fiscal position with public debt as a percentage of GDP at 64% in 2021. Inflation closed the year in 1.6% after two consecutive years of negative readings.

For further information, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – “Economic and market conditions in other countries may affect the Peruvian economy and the market price of Peruvian securities” and “Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control.”

(3) Critical accounting policies

3.1 Basis of presentation, use of estimates and changes in accounting policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. For further details, refer to Notes to the consolidated financial statements, “3. Significant Accounting Policies, a) Basis of presentation and use of estimates”.

195

Content

3.2 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Credicorp and its controlled subsidiaries for all the years presented. Control is achieved when Credicorp is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. For further details refer to Notes to the consolidated financial statements, “3. Significant Accounting Policies, b) Basis of Consolidation.”

3.3 Functional, presentation and foreign currency transactions

Functional and presentation currency

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries operating in Peru consider the Peruvian Sol to be their functional and presentation currency since it reflects the nature of the economic events and relevant circumstances for most of the Group’s entities, taking into account their major transactions and/operations. These include: loans granted, financing obtained, sale of insurance premiums, interests and similar income, interest and similar expenses, as well as a significant percentage of their purchases. These transactions and/or operations are agreed to and settled in Soles.

Transactions and balances in foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are those entered into in a currency other than the functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded by the Group’s entities at the exchange rates of their functional currencies at the transaction dates. For further detail refer to Notes to the consolidated financial statements, “3. Significant Accounting Policies, c) Functional, presentation and foreign currency transactions.”

3.4 Recognition of income and expenses from banking activities

Effective interest rate method:

Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest expenses corresponding to the liabilities measured at amortized cost are also recorded using the EIR.

The EIR is the rate that discounts future cash flows that are estimated to be paid or received during the life of the instrument or a shorter period, if appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The EIR (and, therefore, the amortized cost of the financial asset or liability) is calculated by taking into account any discount, premium and transaction costs that are an integral part of the EIR of the financial instrument, without including the expected credit loss.

196

Content

Interest income and expenses:

The Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of those financial assets that are not impaired.

When a financial asset becomes impaired and, therefore, is considered in Stage 3 (as set out in Note 3(i) to the consolidated financial statements), the Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR at the carrying amount of the asset, net of its provision for credit loss. If the criteria for the recognition of the financial asset in Stage 3 are no longer met, the Group recalculates interest income in gross terms.

Interest income and expenses accrued from all financial instruments that generate interest, including those related to financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss, are recorded under the heading “Interest and similar income” and “interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.

Dividends

Dividends are recorded as income when they are declared.

Commissions and fees

Commission income (which is not an integral part of the EIR) and fees are recorded as they accrue. Commissions and fees include, among other things, the commission charged for the banking service in general such as account maintenance, shipping, transfers, loan syndication fees and contingent credit fees.

Non-interest income and expenses

All non-interest income and expenses are recorded in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied.

3.5 Insurance activities

Insurance contracts are those contracts in which the Group (the insurer) has accepted a significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. These contracts also include reinsurance contracts that the Group holds.

Once a contract has been classified as an insurance contract, it remains an insurance contract for the remainder of its lifetime, even if the insurance risk reduces significantly during this period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire.

197

Content

Life insurance contracts offered by the Group include retirement, disability and survivorship insurance, annuities and individual life insurance, including Investment Link insurance contracts. The non-life insurance contracts issued by the Group mainly include automobile, fire and allied lines, technical branches and healthcare.

Reinsurance

The Group cedes insurance risk in the normal course of its operations for most of its businesses. Reinsurance assets represent balances due from reinsurance companies. Reinsurance ceded is placed on both a proportional and non-proportional basis.

Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the outstanding claims reserve or settled claims and ceded premiums, associated with the ceded policies and in accordance with the related reinsurance contracts.

Reinsurance assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date of the consolidated statement of financial position or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year. Impairment occurs when there is objective evidence as a result of an event that occurred after initial recognition of the reinsurance asset that the Group may not receive all outstanding amounts due under the terms of the contract and the event has a reliably measurable impact on the amounts that the Group will receive from the reinsurer. The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Group from its obligations to policyholders.

The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of its business for non-life insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, considering the classification of the reinsured insurance contract.

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance contract.

Premiums and claims are presented as gross amounts for reinsurance ceded. Reinsurance assets or liabilities are written off when contractual rights are terminated or expire or when the contract is transferred to a third party.

Reinsurance contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are not material to the insurance segment.

Insurance receivables

Insurance receivables are recognized when they are enforceable and measured on initial recognition at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Subsequent to initial recognition, insurance receivables are measured at amortized cost.

198

Content

As of December 31, 2020, and 2021, the carrying amount of the insurance receivables is similar to their fair value due to their short term. The carrying value of insurance receivables is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

“Investment Link” assets

“Investment Link” assets represent financial instruments held for purposes of funding a group of life insurance contracts and for which investment gains and losses are allocated directly to the policyholders who bear the investment and reinvestment risk. Each account has specific characteristics and the assets are carried at fair value. The balances of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Group. The liabilities linked to these contracts are equal in amount to the assets that support them, net of the commissions that the Group charges for the management of these contracts.

Deferred acquisition costs (DAC)

DAC comprise the direct costs that originate with and are related to traditional life and Investment Link insurance contracts, which are deferred; all other acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. The direct acquisition costs are composed primarily of agent commissions corresponding to the underwriting and policy issuance costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, these costs are amortized on a straight line basis based on the average expiration period of the related insurance contracts. Amortization is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

DAC for general insurance and health products are amortized over the period in which the related revenues are earned.

DAC are derecognized when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.

An impairment review is performed at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amounts are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. DAC is also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period.

Reinsurance commissions

Commissions on reinsurance contracts for ceded premiums are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the coverage of the related insurance contract.

3.5.1 Insurance contracts liabilities

Life insurance liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

199

Content

The technical reserves maintained by the Group include the reserves of all of the business lines, comprising both the mathematical reserves and those of ongoing risk, as well as the reserves for outstanding claims, settled claims, claim settlement costs, and claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), as applicable to each line.

Due to the nature of the business, the mathematical reserves of the pension lines represent the main part of the Group’s reserves, with life annuities as the major source of reserves due to the important volume of premiums and as a result of having only single premiums. In order to determine the mathematical reserves of this business, the discounted present value of the expected future pensions is calculated on the basis of mortality tables and interest rates. Those mathematical reserves are based on the market value of the assets portfolio that back the liabilities. Additionally, the constituted reserves include the amount required to cover the maintenance expenses related to the administration of the payment of future pensions.

The mathematical reserves of the income lines are determined by the sum of the value discounted from future expected pensions to be paid during a defined or undefined period, calculated on the basis of the current mortality and morbidity tables, and the market discount interest rates of the investment portfolio. During 2018, the Group adopted the new mortality tables approved and published by the SBS through Resolution SBS No.886-2018; these tables reflect recent changes in the life expectancy.

The Group also uses discount rates in measuring annuities, in order to reflect the market value in the measurement of insurance liabilities, as of December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the Group uses the market rate for harvests of the portfolio of its financial assets for pension flows shifted by currency (market rates).

These situations were treated as a change in accounting policies in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts. Additionally, these changes generated a greater technical reserve amounting to S/666.6 million, which was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year 2019, under the heading “insurance reserves” of the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Such reserves were reported in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, wasn’t applied retroactively, given that the effect was not material in previous years.

For further details, refer to Notes to the consolidated financial statements, “3. Significant Accounting Policies, e) Insurance activities.”

3.6 Financial Instruments: Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group classified financial assets in one of the categories defined by IFRS 9: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at amortized cost, based on:

■

The business model for managing the financial assets and

200

Content

■

The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

The business model: explains how the financial assets are managed to generate cash flows and does not depend on Management’s intention regarding to an individual instrument. Financial assets can be managed for the purpose of: (i) obtaining contractual cash flows; (ii) obtaining contractual cash flows and sale; or iii) others. In order to evaluate a business model, the Group considers the risks affecting the performance of the business model, and the manner in which the performance of the business model is evaluated and reported to Management. If the cash flows are carried out in a manner other than what is expected by the Group, the classification of the remaining financial assets in this business model is not modified.

When the financial asset is held in business models i) or ii), it requires the application of the “Solely Payments of Principal and Interest” (SPPI) test. This test evaluates the cash flows generated by a financial instrument in order to verify if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. In order to conform to this concept, the cash flows must solely include the consideration of the time value of money and the credit risk. If the contractual terms introduce risk exposure or cash flow volatility, such as the exposure to changes in the prices of capital instruments or the prices of raw materials, the financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss. Hybrid contracts must be evaluated as a whole, including all the integrated characteristics. The accounting of a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative is carried out jointly; in other words, the entire instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

3.7 De-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

3.7.1 Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) Credicorp has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a pass-through arrangement; and either Credicorp has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or Credicorp has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its right to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement.

201

Content

In that case, the Group also recognizes the associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of (i) the original carrying amount of the asset, and (ii) the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

3.7.2 Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. 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 de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference between the carrying amount of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

3.8 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and management has the intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.9 Impairment of financial assets

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group applies a three-stage approach to measure the provision for credit loss, using an impairment model based on the expected credit losses as established in IFRS 9, for the following categories:

•

Financial assets at amortized cost,

•

Debt instruments classified as investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and

•

Indirect loans that are presented in off-balance accounts.

Financial assets classified or designated at fair value through profit or loss and the equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, are not subject to an impairment evaluation.

Financial assets migrate through three stages according to the change in the credit risk from the initial recognition.

For further details, refer to Note 3(i) (Significant Accounting Policies: Impairment of financial assets) to the consolidated financial statements.

3.10 Leases

Policy applicable from January 1, 2019

As of December 31, 2020, and 2021, the Group maintains mainly leased premises, used as offices, agencies, servers, and technological platforms, which were registered in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16 for Leases. This standard state that a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

Initial Recognition

The lease contracts are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability as of the date the leased asset is available for use.

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost including the following:

- The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability.

- Any lease payment paid to the lessor before the start date or on the same date.

- Direct costs incurred and costs for dismantling or rehabilitation, if any.

Lease liabilities include the present value of fixed payments and variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate. Lease payments that will be made under renewal options with reasonable certainty of being exercised are included in the measurement of the liability.

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate could be determined easily, or the incremental interest rate by loans of the lessee, which is the interest rate that the lessee would have to pay for borrowing for a similar term, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value asset by the right-of-use in a similar economic environment with similar terms, guarantees and conditions.

In determining the term of the lease, Management considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise the extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Likewise, the estimation of the extension or termination options will be revalued only if an event or changes in the circumstances occur within the control of the entity that affects said estimate.

Subsequent Recognition

The right-of-use asset is generally depreciated in a straight line during the shortest period of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. If the Group is reasonably certain of exercising a purchase option, the right-of-use asset depreciates over the useful life of the underlying asset.

203

Content

The Group has chosen to measure the asset at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, with adjustments for any new measurement of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated in a straight line within the term of the lease.

The liability will be recorded at its amortized cost, that is, it will be increased to reflect the accrued interest. This is recognized under the section titled “Interest, returns and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income. The fees paid will be subtracted.

Likewise, the balance of the liability will be reviewed in the following cases:

- When there is a change in the expected amount to be paid under a residual value guarantee.

- When there is a change in future lease installments to reflect the variation in an index or interest rate.

- When there is a change in the terms of the lease.

- When there is a change in the evaluation of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The changes will be recorded as an adjustment of the lease liability and the right of use, unless the book value of the right of use has been reduced to zero, in which case it must be recorded against the consolidated statement of income.

Short-term leases with little significant value are recognized in a straight line as an expense in the “Administrative expenses” item of the consolidated statement of income.

The accounting treatment of lessors continues with a similar model to that of IAS 17. Thus, lessors continue to distinguish between financial and operating leases.

3.11 Business combination

Business combinations made are accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combination”, regardless of whether they are equity instruments or other acquired assets.

The acquisition cost is the sum of the consideration paid for the acquisition measured at fair value at the acquisition date and the amount of the share in the non-controlling interest acquired. For each business combination, the Group decides whether to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquire at fair value or at the proportional share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses and are included as “Administrative expenses” in the consolidated statement of income.

204

Content

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for its own classification and denomination according to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and prevailing conditions at the date of acquisition. This includes the separation of embedded derivative contracts signed by the acquire.

Any contingency transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingency classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and is within the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”, is measured at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statement of income or consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If the contingency is not within the scope of IFRS 9, it is measured in accordance with the applicable IFRS. A contingency that is classified as equity should not be measured again and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The acquisition of a non-controlling interest is recorded directly in net equity, and any difference between the amount paid and the acquired net assets is recorded as an equity transaction. Accordingly, the Group recognizes no additional goodwill after the acquisition of the non-controlling interest, nor does it recognize any profit or loss from the disposal of the non-controlling interest.

Equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial position. Profit attributable to the non-controlling interest is shown separately in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

If a business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date and the value of the previous participation of the acquirer is measured again at a fair value at the date of acquisition. The gains or losses arising from such remedy are recognized as profit or loss. There have been no business combinations in 2021.

Combinations of entities under common control

A business combination between entities, or businesses under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3, because it corresponds to a business combination in which all the entities or businesses that are combined are controlled, ultimately, by the same part or parts, before and after the business combination. In these transactions, the Group recognizes the assets acquired under the interest unification method, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combined companies are reflected at their book values and no goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination.

205

Content

3.12 Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value recognized for the acquisition of the net value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds 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 accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to these units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill and the assets disposed of are included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the CGU retained.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than it carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

3.13 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indicator that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the value of the asset or the CGU less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for each individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from 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 less costs to sell, recent market transactions, if any, are considered. If this type of transaction cannot be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are verified against valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

For non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date of whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.

206

Content

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

3.14 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Credicorp negotiates derivative financial instruments in order to satisfy clients’ needs. Credicorp may also take positions with the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates or indexes. Credicorp also uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to interest rates and foreign currency. In order to manage particular risks, Credicorp applies hedge accounting for transactions which meet the specified criteria. For further details about the accounting policies used for Derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 3(y) (Significant Accounting Policies: Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting) to the consolidated financial statements.

3.15 Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer 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:

- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. Additionally, the fair value of a liability reflects its non-performance risk.

When available, the Group measures the fair value of an 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 in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would consider in pricing a transaction.

207

Content

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level of input used that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

- Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

- Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is 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 the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

3.16 Segment reporting

The Group reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria.

Operating segments are a component of an entity for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the entity’s CODM in making decisions about how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as it is used internally for evaluating operating segments’ performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.

3.17 Fiduciary activities, management of funds and pension funds

The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management, and advisory services to third parties that result in the holding of assets on their behalf. These assets and income arising thereon are excluded from the consolidated financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group.

Commissions generated for these activities are included as “Commissions and fees” in the consolidated statement of income.

208

Content

3.18 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances of cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, overnight deposits, time deposits and amounts due from banks with original maturities of three months or less, excluding restricted balances.

Cash collateral pledged as a part of repurchase agreements are presented as “Cash collateral, reverse repurchase agreement and securities borrowings” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Cash collateral pledged as a part of derivative financial instrument and others are presented in “Other assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

(4) Historical Discussion and Analysis

Credicorp monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Regarding Credicorp’s LoBs, total external income from the universal banking LoB amounted to 63.5%, 62.8%, and 61.9% of Credicorp’s total external income (which corresponds to total interest and similar income, including income and expenses on commissions and net premiums earned from insurance activities) in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Therefore, the following historical discussion and analysis is presented principally for the universal banking LoB, except when otherwise indicated, and is based upon information contained in our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction therewith. The discussion in this section regarding interest rates is based on nominal interest rates.

The financial information and the discussion and analysis presented below for 2019, 2020 and 2021 reflects the financial position and results of operations of our subsidiaries. For further details, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.A Selected Financial Data.”

4.1 Consolidated contributions

See “Item 4.B Business Overview – (1) Credicorp” for the contribution to the consolidated net profit attributable to our equity holders by each of our principal LoBs and subsidiaries, as well as for the percentage contribution to Credicorp total assets, total revenues, net profit, and equity attributable to Credicorp’s equity holders.

4.2 Financial performance

In 2021, we recorded a net profit, after non-controlling interest, of S/3,584.6 million (compared to S/346.9 million in 2020 and S/4,265.3 million in 2019). This represented an increase of 933.3% as compared to the results in 2020. The increase was attributable to higher net income in Universal Banking, Microfinance and Investment Banking and Wealth Management which stemmed from higher interest rates from structural loans that have been replacing government program loans made in 2020. In addition, it is important to highlight that other expenses grew due to investment and expenses related to digital transformation and disruptive initiatives and to an increase in variable compensation in line with higher net income. In 2021, ROAE was 13.94% (compared to 1.36% in 2020 and 17.03% in 2019), and ROAA was 1.49% (compared to 0.16% in 2020 and 2.34% in 2019).

The main factors behind Credicorp’s results were:

•

The growth in total loans was 7.2% in year end balances and 9.9% in average-daily balances. This increase was led by the Wholesale and the SME-Pyme segments at BCP Stand Alone, and Mibanco, due to a reactivation in internal demand in a context of loosening pandemic restrictions and improvements in the sanitary situation.

•

The cost of risk decreased by 348 basis points to situate at 0.82%. The reduction was due primarily to (i) the economic reactivation, which performed better-than-expected, (ii) positive client’s payments behaviors, in line with income levels recovery and higher liquidity from individuals, and (iii) lower risk levels, attributable to an improvement in originations and a decrease in advancements between Stages. Lower provisions were mainly registered in the Retail Portfolio, particularly in the SME-Pyme and Consumer segments. The credit quality ratios are explained below in “ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (5) Financial Position – 5.1 Total Assets – Portfolio quality”.

•

Net interest income grew by 9.2% as compared to 2020. This was mainly driven by an increase in interest income on loans, after registering an impairment charge in 2020. Growth in net interest income was also driven by uptick in structural loans and a decrease in interest expenses. The latter was attributable to growth in low-cost deposits and a decrease in market rates, which improved the funding structure. Regarding NIM, the ratio registered a decrease of 20 basis points from at 4.30% in 2020 to 4.10% in 2021 mainly because of lower market rates.

•

Other income increased by 11.8% as compared to 2020. This was driven mainly by (i) an expansion in fee income (19.9%) driven by growth in transaction in line with economy reactivation and new services in our digital channels; and (ii) to a lesser extent, increase in Net gain on foreign exchange transactions (47.9%) as a result of market volatility.

•

Total insurance underwriting results (net earned premiums less claims and acquisition cost) decreased by 101.0% as compared to 2020 as a result of higher net claims levels in the life insurance business and, IBNR provisions for excess mortality related to the second wave of COVID-19, which was attenuated by an increase in net earned premiums in the Life and P&C business as a result of economic reactivation.

•

Total other expenses increased 7.6%, mainly due to (i) expenses related to digital transformation and disruptive initiatives; and (ii) to an increase in variable compensation in line with growth in net income.

•

The efficiency ratio decreased by 40 basis points to register at 45.9% primarily due to an expansion in net interest income and fee income.

4.3 Results of operations for the three years ending on December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021

The following table sets forth, for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, the principal components of our net profit:

	Year ended December 31,
	2019			2020			2021
	(in thousands of Soles)
Interest and similar income		12,381,664			11,547,648			11,850,406

Net profit		4,352,331			334,138			3,671,829
Net profit attributable to:
Credicorp’s equity holders		4,265,304			346,894			3,584,582
Non-controlling interest		87,027			(12,756	)		87,247

The net profit attributable to our equity holders for 2021 reflected an increase of 933.3%, as compared to 2020. This result was primarily due to (i) a 74.4% decrease in our provision for credit losses on loan portfolio, as compared to 2020, stemming reduction in the probability of default of our clients driven by the economy reactivation, (ii) higher net interest, similar income and expenses (increase of 9.2%, as compared to 2020) as government loans began to be replaced by structural loans, and (iii) higher total non-interest income as a result of an increase in fee income (attributable to higher transaction rates and new services in our digital channels), as well as an increase in net gain on foreign exchange transactions.

The net profit attributable to our equity holders for 2020 reflected a decrease of 91.9%, as compared to 2019. This result was primarily due to (i) an 189.5% increase in our provision for credit losses on loan portfolio, as compared to 2019, stemming from the new macroeconomic projections affected by the COVID-19, (ii) lower net interest, similar income and expenses (contraction of 5.7%, as compared to 2019) attributable to lower rate loans from government programs, and (iii) lower total non-interest income as a result of a decrease in fee income (attributable to waivers offered to the clients), as well as a decrease in net gain on foreign exchange transactions.

Net interest income grew by 9.2%, as compared to 2020. This was a result of higher interest income and a reduction in interest expenses. In 2021, net interest income fell by 5.7%, as compared to 2019, due to a contraction in interest income, which was partially mitigated by a reduction in interest expenses.

Interest and similar income grew by 2.6% in 2021, as compared to 2020, after declining by 6.7% in 2020, as compared to 2019. The increase in 2021 was mainly due to the fact that in 2020 an impairment charge was registered in interest income because of zero-rate loan facilities granted to our clients. The increase in interest income was also attributable to higher structural origination but was partially offset by a drop in market rates.

The average balance of our foreign currency denominated loan portfolio increased by 4.1% to S/47.8 billion in 2021, as compared to S/45.9 billion in 2020, which was an 4.8% increase compared to S/43.8 billion in 2019. The average balance of the Sol-denominated loan portfolio increased by 12.7% to S/94.8 billion in 2021, compared to S/84.0 billion in 2020, which was a 25.3% increase from S/67.1 billion in 2019.

The average nominal interest rates earned on loans decreased from 9.6% in 2019 to 7.7% in 2020 and to 7.1% in 2021. The average nominal interest rate for foreign currency-denominated loans decreased from 5.6% in 2019 to 5.1% in 2020 and to 5.0% in 2021. Average nominal interest rates for Sol-denominated loans decreased from 12.3% in 2019 to 9.2% in 2020 and to 8.2% in 2021.

Interest and similar expenses decreased by 16.4% in 2021 compared to the level registered in 2020. In 2020, interest expense also registered a reduction of 9.5% compared to 2019. The 2021 decrease in interest expenses was attributable to a lower-cost funding structure due to growth in the share of low-cost deposits, and to a drop in market interest rates.

The contraction reflects the lower provisions across Credicorp’s banking businesses, specifically in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco. This was mainly due to the decrease of provisions in:

•

Retail Banking: particularly in the SME-Pyme, Consumer and Credit Card segments, mainly due to (i) a reduction in the Probability of Default and Loss Given Default risk levels due to adjustments to score models and lower delinquency, (ii) a decrease in the volume of advancements between Stages, and (iii) higher clients’ income levels, due to an influx of liquidity driven by government facilities.

•

Mibanco: mainly driven by (i) methodological adjustments to the PD (Probability of Default) Bottom-Up models related to better payment behaviors, (ii) a decrease in risk levels, which was attributable to an improvement in originations, and (iii) to improvements in collection processes. Additionally, the drop was attributable to an uptick in the recovery of written-off loans.

•

Wholesale Banking: attributable to (i) positive on-time payments, mainly from specific clients who emerged from default, (ii) lower volume of loans that advanced from Stage 2 to Stage 3, and (iii) an uptick in companies’ sales.

•

BCP Bolivia: decreased to S/5.5 million in 2021, as compared to S/245.3 million in 2020. Reduction was mainly attributable to (i) methodological adjustments to our models, (ii) positive payment behaviors, and (iii) higher recoveries of written-off loans.

4.3.6 Exchange difference

The exchange difference reflects exposure to appreciation of net monetary positions in foreign currencies, principally US Dollars, in 2019, 2020 and 2021, to Peruvian Soles. We recorded a gain on exchange difference of S/19.5 million, S/19.8 million and S/34.7 million, respectively.

Credicorp manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring and controlling the position values due to changes in exchange rates. We measure our performance in Soles (since 2014, when we changed our functional currency from US Dollars) such that if the net foreign exchange position (mainly US Dollar) is an asset, any depreciation of Soles with respect to the relevant foreign currency would positively affect Credicorp’s consolidated statements of financial position. The current position in a foreign currency comprises exchange rate-linked assets and liabilities in that currency. An institution’s open position in individual currencies comprises assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items denominated in the respective foreign currency for which the institution itself bears the risk; any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign exchange would affect the consolidated statements of income.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, Credicorp’s net foreign exchange balance is the sum of its positive open non-Soles positions (net long position) less the sum of its negative open non-Soles positions (net short position). For further details, see “ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT – (13) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk”.

4.3.7 Income Taxes

We are not subject to income taxes, taxes on capital gains, capital transfers or equity or estate duty under Bermuda law. However, some of our subsidiaries are subject to income tax and taxes on dividends paid to us, depending on the legislation of the jurisdictions in which they generate income.

Peru

Our Peruvian subsidiaries, including BCP Stand-alone, are subject to corporate taxation on income under Peruvian Tax Law. At December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Peruvian statutory income tax rate was 29.5% on taxable profit after calculating the workers’ profit sharing, which is determined using a 5.0% rate.

An additional 5.0% withholding tax is applied to dividends, which we register as income tax based on the liquid amount received from BCP Stand-alone, Grupo Credito and Pacifico Seguros. Through Legislative Decree No. 1261, published on December 11, 2016, the withholding tax on dividends for the profits generated was increased according to the following terms:

Rate for the profits generated in the years	%
Until 2014		4.1
2015 and 2016		6.8
From 2017 onward		5.0

The Tax Authority concluded the audit of BCP Stand-alone for 2014 and 2015, obtaining satisfactory results.

Bolivia

The income tax rate in Bolivia is 25.0% as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Financial entities have an additional rate if the ROE exceeds 6.0%; in that case, they must consider an additional 25.0%, with which the rate would be 50.0%.

Chile

In the case of Chile, there were two tax regimes: partially integrated regime and attributed regime. Credicorp Capital Holding Chile and all its Subsidiaries were taxed under the partially integrated regime, whose first category income tax rate for domiciled legal entities was 27.0%. This regime was maintained until December 31, 2019.

With the change in Chile’s tax legislation in 2020, two new regimes, which are currently in force, were established: the general regime and the Pro SME regime, for smaller companies. Credicorp Capital Holding Chile, like all its subsidiaries, is taxed under the general tax regime, whose first category income tax rate for domiciled legal entities remains at 27.0% as of December 31, 2021.

On the other hand, natural or legal persons not domiciled in Chile will be subject to a tax called “Additional income tax” whose rates range between 4.0% and 35.0%, depending on the nature of the rent. Additionally, Chile has signed agreements to avoid double taxation with different countries, so that certain income could be released from withholding taxes or for the use of reduced rates.

The Bolivian, Chilean and Colombian Tax Authorities have the power to review and, if applicable, make a new determination for the income tax the subsidiaries to Credicorp located in said countries, upon presentation of their Income Tax declarations. Additionally, in the case of Colombia, a period of 6 years was established for the taxpayers obliged to apply Transfer Prices or taxpayers who report tax losses. The annual income tax declarations pending examination by the overseas tax authorities are the following:

-	Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A.	2016 to 2020
-	Credicorp Capital Colombia S.A.	2016 to 2020
-	Credicorp Capital Holding Chile S.A.	2019 to 2020

Since tax regulations are subject to interpretation by the different Tax Authorities where Credicorp subsidiaries are located, it is not possible to determine at the present date whether any significant additional liabilities may arise from any eventual tax examinations of the Credicorp subsidiaries. Any resulting unpaid taxes, tax penalties or interest that may arise will be recognized as expenses in the year in which they are determined. However, Management of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries and their legal counsel consider that any additional tax assessments would not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2021.

Loan evolution

The increase of 7.2% of Credicorp’s total loans from 2020 to 2021 was a result of the dynamics from the Wholesale Banking, SME-Pyme, and Mibanco segments, all of which benefited from economic reactivation after the government started loosening pandemic restrictions while the sanitary situation improved.

In 2021, growth in loans was primarily attributable to the increase in the loan portfolio of BCP Stand-alone, whose loan book grew by 9.4% in average daily balances in line with the following dynamics:

•

Retail Banking was the largest contributor to total growth, led by SME-Pyme (increase of S/5,248 million, or 36.5% in average daily balances) and SME-Business (increase of S/2,515 million, or 29.7% in average daily balances), both of which received large inflows of loans from Reactiva Peru and experienced better dynamics by year-end due to seasonality and loosening pandemic restrictions. Other segments that contributed to expansion in this portfolio were the Mortgage segment (increase of S/1,073 million, or 6.3% in average daily balances) and Consumer (segment increase of S/916 million, or 10.0% in average daily balances).

221

•

Wholesale Banking, which include Middle Market and Corporate Banking segments, also contributed to total growth. Middle Market Banking grew S/2,053 million or 9.4% in average daily balances. By the contrary, Corporate Banking, fell S/657 million or 2.1% in average daily balances, driven by the fact that companies had fewer financial needs given that they had already shored up liquidity at the beginning of the pandemic. Expansion in these segments was also attributable to the exchange rate effect generated by the depreciation of the Sol.

Growth in the total portfolio was also due to the increase in Mibanco’s loan balances of 14.6% in average daily balances with respect to 2020, which was primarily associated with operating capabilities, the economic reactivation and year-end seasonality.

BCP Bolivia also performed positively mainly because of the evolution of the exchange rate.

Lastly, ASB Bank Corp. loans continued losing participation and registered a decline of S/65 million or 2.7%. It is important to note that ASB Bank Corp. main business is in asset and wealth management industry.

•	Portfolio quality

In terms of portfolio quality, our internal overdue ratio (which includes loans under legal collection) was 3.77% at the end of 2021, 37 basis points higher than the 3.40% ratio recorded at the end of 2020 (2.86% at the end of 2019). The reported increase over the last year reflects the higher pace of growth in internal overdue loans balances compared to the growth of the total portfolio, as the Government Program Portfolio (which includes Reactiva Peru and FAE loans) grace periods expired. The Non-performing loan ratio increased by 37 basis points from 4.62% in 2020 to 4.99% in 2021. This was mainly due to growth of overdue and refinanced loans, which was primarily attributable to the deterioration in client debt service capacities after grace periods expired and new facilities were offered to clients. As of December 31, 2021, the Government Program (GP) Portfolio represented 13% of Credicorp’s total portfolio (in comparison to 18% as of December 31, 2020). It is important to highlight that a large part of the GP Portfolio is backed by state guarantees, whose recovery processes for loans over 90 days past due are underway with the regulatory entities.

Regarding Credicorp’s Structural portfolio quality, which excludes the GP Portfolio, the Non-performing loan (NPL) ratio decreased by 74 basis points from 5.61% in 2020 to 4.87% in 2021. This significant improvement is mainly driven by positive loan volumes evolution and strong on-time payments in our banking businesses. This positive evolution was attributable to (i) the economic reactivation, (ii) growth in individuals’ liquidity due to Government reliefs, and (iii) an increase in transactional activity. Additionally, NPL’s balances were favored by higher write-offs.

223

Content

An analysis of the Structural NPL ratio by business segment shows that:

•

Wholesale Banking: increased 1 basis points due to specific clients (2.17% for the Structural NPL ratio in 2021 and 2.16% in 2020). As of December 2021, the non-performing loan portfolio was mainly composed of clients from the transportation, energy and leisure and tourism sectors, which were highly affected by the pandemic. This was partially offset by an increase in loan volumes.

•

SME-Business: The delinquency ratio increased by 66 basis points in 2021 (10.15% and 9.49% in 2021 and 2020, respectively). This was primarily due to the expiration of facilities, which outpaced loan growth.

•

SME-Pyme: a deterioration of 10 basis points was registered, situating its NPL ratio at 15.72% versus 15.62% in 2020. Higher non-performing loans are due to clients that received facilities but were unable to meet payment obligations once the grace periods expired.

•

Mortgage: The delinquency level grew in the Mortgage segment, as clients opted for refinancing facilities. In 2021, the ratio stood at 3.56% versus 3.19% in 2020.

•

Consumer: The delinquency level in the Consumer sector registered a decline from 10.37% in 2020 to 7.24% in 2021. This was primarily driven by a contraction in the overdue loan portfolio, as individual’s liquidity rose after severance indemnity and pensions funds were government-mandated released.

•

Credit Card: the segment registered a significant drop of 715 basis points in its delinquency ratio, which situated at 3.30% in 2021 versus 10.45% in 2020. This is the result of higher individual’s income levels and expansion of loan volumes, situating the ratio below pre-pandemic levels.

•

Mibanco: showed a decrease in the delinquent portfolio balances, in line with the increase in write-offs and positive payment behaviors. The NPL ratio reduced by 310 basis points, from 10.15% in 2020 to 7.05% in 2021.

•

BCP Bolivia: NPL ratio improved by 21 basis points, from 1.52% in 2020 to 1.31% in 2021, in line with the improvements of on-time payments, higher write-offs and loan growth.

It is important to keep in mind that traditional delinquency ratios such as internal overdue loan and non-performing loan ratios continue to be distorted by the presence of loans with real estate collateral (commercial and residential properties). This means that a significant portion of loans that are more than 150 days past due cannot be written-off (despite the fact that provisions have been set aside) given that a judicial process must be initiated to liquidate the collateral, which may take several years to culminate.

The Structural Coverage ratio of NPL’s decreased from 154.0% in 2020 to 132.0% at the end of 2021. This was mainly due to the contraction of the allowance for loan losses, which outpaced the reduction of the NPL’s balances.

As of December 31, 2021, we had total liabilities of S/217.8 billion, a 2.7% increase from S/212.0 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was a 31.6% increase as compared to S/161.1 billion in 2019.

As of December 31, 2021, we had total deposits of S/150.3 billion, a 5.6% increase from S/142.4 billion on December 31, 2020, which was a 27.1% increase compared to S/112.0 billion in 2019. The increase in 2021 was driven by growth in savings deposits as a result of the measures taken by the government , specifically facilities to personal clients for draw down funds from Pension funds and severance indemnity accounts, which subsequently transferred to low-cost bank accounts primarily in BCP Stand-alone; and also a growth in demand deposits, particularly non-interest bearing deposits in foreign currency from wholesale and personal clients in ASB Bank Corp. and BCP Stand-alone which sought to increase their exposure related to an increase in the exchange rate

According to the SBS, as of December 31, 2021, Credicorp accounted for 41.1% of total savings deposits, 43.9% of total demand deposits, 28.0% of total time deposits, and 39.3% of total deposits in the Peruvian banking system, the highest of any Peruvian bank in all these types of deposits. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, we were in possession of 47.3% of the entire Peruvian banking system’s severance indemnity deposits. We have traditionally attracted a high percentage of the savings, demand, and time deposits market because of our reputation as a sound institution, our extensive branch network, and the quality of our service.

As of December 31, 2021, our total due to banks and correspondents was S/7.2 billion, representing a 20.7% increase from S/6.0 billion as of December 31, 2020, which in turn represented a 32.4% decrease from S/8.8 billion as of December 31, 2019. The increase in 2021 was attributable a higher obligation with local financial institutions at Mibanco and, to a lesser extent, obligations taken with companies in the foreign financial system and with COFIDE at BCP Stand-alone.

Content

As of December 31, 2021, our total bonds and notes issued were S/17.1 billion, a 4.7% increase from S/16.3 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was a 9.2% increase as compared to S/15.0 billion in 2019. The increase in 2021 was attributable to an increase in the exchange rate PEN/USD given that 78% of the total balance is in foreign currency.

As of December 31, 2021, our payables from repurchase agreements and security lending were S/22.0 billion, a 21.2% decrease from S/27.9 billion as of December 31, 2020, which was a 263.7% increase compared to S/7.7 billion in 2019. During 2021, BCRP instruments witnessed a significant decrease primarily in BCP Stand-alone and slight in Mibanco, driven by the progressive amortization of Reactiva loans disbursements, facilities offered by the Peruvian government.

5.2.1 Funding Structure

At the end of 2021, Credicorp’s total funding was S/195.6 billion, which represents a 2.2% increase as compared to S/191.5 billion at the end of 2020 (and S/142.0 billion at the end of 2019).

Credicorp’s funding structure shows an on-going growth in total deposits throughout 2021, despite a decrease of Severance indemnity deposits driven by government-mandated facilities to withdrawal 100% of available funds, deposits registered a funding share of 76.9%, as compared to 74.4% at the end of 2020 (and 78.9% at the end of 2019).

The increase in deposits was mainly associated with saving deposits and demand deposits, which increased by 13.7% and 7.5% respectively, as compared to 2020. It is important to note that the shares of savings deposits and non-interest-bearing demand deposits continued to increase within the deposits mix (72.4% at the end of 2021, as compared to 68.6% in 2020 and 56.7% in 2019). Both types of deposits are considered low-cost alternatives within the mix of deposits.

With respect to other funding sources, our analysis shows a decrease in the volume of BCRP instruments in 2021, representing 10.1% of total funding (on December 31, 2020, they represented 13.4% of total funding). This decrease was a result of the amortization of Reactiva Program funding instruments. It is important to mention that these funding sources were administrated at low rates.

Finally, as part of its Liability Management strategy, BCP Stand-alone executed a new issuance of international subordinated bond for US$500 million in March with a coupon rate of 3.25% and an expiration in 2031 with the objective of reprofiling expiration dates in a context of low market rates. This issuance was used to exchanges of subordinated callable bonds 2026 and 2027 awarded at rates of 6.875% and 6.125% respectively.

During 2019, 2020 and 2021, we had 94,382,317 issued shares each at US$5.00 par value.

As provided in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements, on December 31, 2021, 14,850,369 of our issued shares were treasury stock. The term “treasury stock,” as used in this Annual Report and our consolidated financial statements, follows the IFRS definition of treasury stock, which includes (i) shares acquired and held by subsidiaries and members of the consolidated group and (ii) shares sold, issued or cancelled in connection with employee share option plans, employee share purchase plans and all other share-based payments arrangements. The term “treasury stock” is not related to the term “treasury shares” as used under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which defines “treasury shares” (in Section 42B of such Act) as shares that (i) were (or are treated as having been) acquired directly by the company that issued the shares and have not been cancelled and (ii) have been continuously held by the company since they were acquired. Credicorp is not allowed to hold “treasury shares” as such term is used under Bermuda Law. Under Bermuda law, a company cannot (i) exercise any rights with respect to treasury shares, including any right to attend and vote at meetings or (ii) pay dividends with respect to treasury shares.

5.4 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We record various contractual obligations as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. We do not recognize other contractual arrangements, such as off-balance-sheet exposures, as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. These other contractual arrangements are required to be registered in off-balance-sheet accounts. We enter into these off-balance-sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business to provide support to our clients and to hedge risks in our statement of financial position, including through use of guarantees, letters of credit, derivatives and swaps.

(*) Lines of credit include consumer loans and other consumer loan facilities (credit card receivables) granted to customers and are cancelable upon related notice to the customer.

In the normal course of business, our banking subsidiaries are parties to transactions with off-balance-sheet risk. These transactions expose them to additional credit risks relative to amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss as a result of any other party to a financial instrument failing to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The exposures to losses are represented by the contractual amount specified in the related contracts. We apply the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments (see Note 21(a) of the consolidated financial statements), including the requirement to obtain collateral when necessary. The type and amount of collateral held varies, but may include deposits in financial institutions, securities or other assets. Many contingent transactions are expected to expire without any performance being required. Therefore, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Credicorp has currency-forwards derivatives. Currency-forwards are commitments to buy or sell currency at a future date at a contracted price. Risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to the transaction will not perform as agreed and from the changes in the prices of the underlying currencies. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the nominal amounts for forward currency purchase and sale agreements, which in general have maturities of less than one year, were approximately S/22,030.6 million and S/28,618,4 million, respectively.

These agreements are entered into to satisfy client requirements and are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. As of December 31, 2020, and 2021, the forward contracts’ net position was approximately (S/6,293.9) million and S/539.9 million, respectively.

Credicorp’s swap contracts include interest rate and currency swap contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts. Interest rate and currency swap contracts are derivatives contracts, where counterparties exchange variable interest rates for fixed interest rates or different currencies, respectively, in the terms and conditions established at the contract’s inception. The risk arises each time the projected level of the variable rate during the term of the contract is higher than the swap rate, as well as from non-compliance with contractual terms by one of the parties. As of December 31, 2021, the notional amount of open interest rate and currency swap contracts was approximately S/43,569.4 million, compared to approximately S/31,257.6 million as of December 31, 2020, see Note 13(b) to the consolidated financial statements.

229

Content

Cross-currency swap contracts involve the exchange of interest payments based on two different currency principal balances and referenced interest rates. They generally also include the exchange of principal amounts at the start and end of the contract. As of December 31, 2021, the notional amount of cross-currency swap contracts was approximately S/806.3 million compared to approximately S/1,096.9 million as of December 31, 2020; see Note 13(b) to the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2021, the fair values of the asset and liability forward-exchange contracts, options, futures and interest rate and cross-currency swaps amounted to approximately S/1,661.6 million and S/1,524.8 million, respectively (compared to approximately S/1,214.5 million and S/1,205.2 million as of December 31, 2020) and are included under the “Other assets and other liabilities” section of the consolidated statements of financial position, respectively, see Note 13(b) to the consolidated financial statements.

6.1 Universal Banking

6.1.1 BCP Stand-alone

Asset Structure

At the end of 2021, BCP Stand-alone’s total assets amounted to S/187.0 billion, which represents a 2.3% increase compared to S/182.9 billion in 2020 (and S/141.9 billion in 2019). The increase in total assets in 2021 was mainly explained by the growth of our loan portfolio, which grew by 8.2% in 2021 totaling S/122.8 billion compared S/113.5 billion in 2020 (and S/95.5 billion in 2019).

In 2021, BCP Stand-alone’s total loans grew 9.4%, in average daily balances, driven by growth in Retail Banking led by SME-Pyme, SME-Business, Mortgage and the Consumer segments which experienced better dynamics by year-end due to seasonality and loosening pandemic restrictions. The inflows of loans from Reactiva Peru also contributed to this growth.

The internal overdue loan ratio at BCP Stand-alone increased to 3.67% in 2021, compared to 3.19% in 2020 (which represented an increase from 2.69% in 2019). This was mainly driven by the SME and Wholesale Banking segments, specifically due to clients from the Government Program Portfolio. For further analysis of the ratio per business segment, see “Item 5.A Operating results – (5) Financial position – 5.1 Total Assets – Portfolio quality” (bullets one to six).

BCP Stand-alone’s provisions for credit losses on loan portfolio, net of recoveries decreased by 82.4%, with respect to 2020 (in comparison to the 230.1% increase in 2020 with respect to 2019) attributable to economic reactivation, growth in individuals’ liquidity due to Government reliefs, and an increase in transactional activity. The decrease in provisions was seen among all segments, situating BCP Stand-alone’s cost of risk at 0.65% in 2021 (in comparison to 3.98% in 2020), representing historic lows.

Funding Structure

At the end of 2021, BCP Stand-alone’s total funding increased by 0.8% (in comparison to 33.8% in 2020 and 4.4% in 2019), due to higher volumes of deposits and lower BCRP instruments, which decreased by 24.6% fueled by amortizations of Reactiva loans.

As a result of (i) higher personal liquidity after AFPs and Severance Indemnity funds were released and (ii) an exchange rate effect, total deposits grew to S/123.8 billion (as compared to S/118.3 billion in 2020 and S/90.8 billion in 2019). The growth mainly due to savings deposits and demand deposits, which grew 14.0% and 5.5% respectively.

Financial Ratios

BCP Stand-alone’s net earnings contribution to Credicorp totaled S/3,312.2 million in 2021, which represented an increase of 446.8% with regard to the S/605.8 million reported in 2020 (and S/3,163.2 million in 2019). This was a result of the lower level of provisions for credit losses, higher net interest income, fee income and net gain from foreign exchange transactions in line with economy reactivation during 2021.

BCP Stand-alone’s ROAE contribution to Credicorp was 18.8% in 2021 (compared to 1.4% in 2020 and 20.4% in 2019). The higher contribution in 2021 reflects (i) an increase in net interest income as government program loans with lower rates were replaced by structural loans with higher rates and (ii) an increase in fee income as a result of higher transactional volumes in line with economic reactivation, despite a challenging regulatory environment.

NIM stood at 3.52% in 2021, representing a decline of 48 basis points with regard to 2020’s NIM of 3.94% (and 4.83% in 2019). This decline was in line with the lower market rates and the impact of Reactiva loans in BCP balances.

In 2021, the efficiency ratio at BCP Stand-alone stood at 43.4% (versus 40.9% in 2020 and 40.9% in 2019).

In addition, Salaries and Employee Benefits increase, after earnings rose in a context marked by economic reactivation and moves to hire more specialized technical profiles under our digital transformation strategy.

6.2.1 Mibanco Peru

Asset Structure

Total assets at Mibanco were S/16.2 billion as of December 31, 2021 (compared to S/15.6 billion as of December 31, 2020 and S/13.7 billion as of December 31, 2019). The 3.3% increase in total assets in 2021 reflects growth in the loan portfolio, an increase in short term investments to make excess liquidity more profitable and a decrease in provisions for loans losses as higher provision were registered due to COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

232

Content

On December 31, 2021, Mibanco’s loans totaled S/13.5 billion, which represent 4.5% growth with respect to 2020 (compared to 20.5% and 6.8% in 2020 and 2019 respectively). The growth was driven by structural loans, the majority of which were concentrated in the SME-Small segment, which registered a 12.5% increase in its loan level in 2021 (compared to an increase of 15.1% in 2020 and 9.5% in 2019). This was partially offset by a decrease in microbusiness of 11.1% in 2021 (compared to an increase of 46.5% in 2020 and a decrease of 0.9% in 2019). The small business and micro business segments represented a higher share of total loans in 2021 with shares of 61.5% and 27.0% respectively (as compared to 56.5% and 31.4% in 2020 and 60.0% and 26.2% in 2019). Finally, the loan portfolio represented 83.3% of total interest-earning assets in 2021 (as compared to 79.8% in 2020).

Cash and investments decreased by 18.13% in 2021 (as compared to an increase of 23.57% in 2020 and decrease of 18.10% in 2019). This was attributable to a year-over-year decrease in liquid assets that were necessary to cover the outflow of retail time deposits.

Portfolio Quality

Despite the deterioration observed in credit quality during 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic impacts in the economy, the credit quality improved in 2021 and the cost of risk was situated at 3.2% by the end of 2021 (as compared to 8.4% and 3.8% in 2020 and 2019 respectively). The decrease in cost of risk was primarily driven by methodological adjustments models parameter and to a decrease in risk levels, which was attributable to an improvement in originations, and to collection processes. The coverage ratio for total loans in 2021 was situated at 8.5% (as compared to 14.1% and 8.7% in 2020 and 2019 respectively).

Funding Structure

On December 31, 2021, total liabilities at Mibanco amounted to S/13.8 billion, which represent an increase of 1.9% as compared to S/13.5 billion at the end of 2020 (and S/11.7 billion at the end of 2019). In 2021, Mibanco’s funding strategy reflected an increase in due to other banks and in institutional deposits, which were partially offset by the amortizations of the government-backed Reactiva and FAE-Mype loans and a decrease in retail time deposits.

In 2021, total deposits continued to represent the largest source of funding, accounting for 61.1% (as compared to 64.0% in 2020 and 73.4% in 2019) of total liabilities. The significant growth in due to other banks was driven by the amortizations of government-backed Reactiva and FAE-Mype loans and a decrease in Mibanco’s share of retail time deposits. Nonetheless, there was a significant increase in institutional time deposits which grew by 14.9%. This new funding structure and lower market rates led our funding cost to fall to 2.22% by the end of 2021 (as compared to 2.28% at the end of 2020 and 4.11% at the end of 2019).

In 2021, retail time deposits and CTS funds fell as a result of the country’s political uncertainty. In that context, Mibanco took advantage of lower market interest rates and at the same time improve its funding structure to cover its funding needs.

Financial ratios

Net earnings at Mibanco totaled S/266.1 million in 2021, as compared to S/379.0 million in net losses in 2020 (and S/401.1 million in net earnings in 2019). Net earnings attributable to Credicorp totaled S/260.2 million in 2021, as compared to net losses of S/370.5 million in 2020 (and net earnings of S/391.7 million in 2019).

Mibanco’s ROAE contribution to Credicorp was 11.9% in 2021 (a positive contribution, as compared to its contribution of (18.1%) and 20.1% in 2020 and 2019 respectively). This increase reflects (i) a decline in net provisions for loan losses, in line with better economic modeling scenarios and an improvement in originations and collection processes; and (ii) an increase in net interest income. The aforementioned was partially offset by (i) a decrease in non-interest income driven by lower fees from bancassurances as a result of a decrease in transaction levels during 2021; and (ii) higher operating expenses due to the execution of strategic initiatives.

NIM was situated at 11.9% in 2021 which represents an increase of 101 basis points as compared to last year’s NIM (10.8% in 2020 and 14.9% in 2019). The increase in NIM was fueled by growth in the loan portfolio, higher interest rates and more profitable asset mix, which was boosted by a decrease in interest expenses due to lower market interest rates and an improvement in the funding mix.

In 2021, Mibanco’s efficiency ratio was 55.8%, which represents a decrease as compared to the 63.1% and an increase to the 53.1% ratios registered for 2020 and 2019 respectively. This result was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income which was partially offset by operating expenses increase due to higher provisions for contingencies and distribution of profits, as well as execution of strategic initiatives and marketing campaigns.

6.2.2 Mibanco Colombia

At Mibanco Colombia, the loan portfolio totaled $1,079.3 billion pesos at year-end, which represents an increase of 22.3% year-over-year. The year´s growth was sustained by the increase in the productivity (monthly loans disbursed per executive). The microcredit segment registered a stronger pace of recovery and represented 73.08% of total gross loans at the end of December 2021.

The interest income and other income increase were in line with the growth in gross loan. The increases generated were 12% and 10%, respectively.

Content

Our funding cost fell 156 basis points between 2020 and 2021, which was primarily attributable to liquidity excess in the market and to a decrease in the reference rate, which was situated at 1.75% during the first 9 months of the year. As of December 31, 2021, the reference rate was 3% given the inflationary pressures of the region.

Better macroeconomic expectations and improvements in collection management generated a significant decrease in net provisions for loan losses. NPL ratio 30 days closed at 6%, 146 basis points less than 2020. These facts generated a cost of risk of (0.70%) for the end of 2021.

Finally, Mibanco Colombia’s operating expenses increased 1% due to higher salaries and employees’ benefits driven by the increase in our loan officers during 2021. In addition, important expenses were made such as: remodeling of agencies, digital transformation, organizational culture and strengthening of administrative positions. The efficiency ratio improved from 96.9% in 2020 to 79.08% in 2021.

6.3 Insurance & Pensions

6.3.1 Grupo Pacifico

Net Profits

Grupo Pacifico’s net profit before non-controlling interest reported a loss of (S/130.5) million in 2021, 167.0% lower than its S/194.6 million reported in 2020 (compared to S/381.5 million in 2019). Lower net profit was mainly associated with:

•

A decrease in Life insurance business, which totaled (S/341.9) million in 2021, 548.8% lower than the (S/53.7) million reported in 2020 and S/234.8 million in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in net claims as a consequence of the excess mortality of the second wave of COVID-19, where we have protected thousands of families since the beginning of the pandemic. Pacifico’s Life insurance claims topped over S/1 billion, the highest amount paid by any company in the history of the Peruvian insurance market. This was partially offset by an increase in written premiums and higher net financial income.

•

A decrease in P&C insurance business, which totaled S/148.5 million in 2021, 17.8% lower than the S/180.7 million reported in 2020 and S/73.5 million in 2019. This decrease is attributable to an increase in net claims as a result of higher case frequency in Medical Assistance, Cars and Commercial Lines due to fewer confinement measures were imposed by the government in 2021 compared to 2020. This was partially offset by an increase in written premiums.

•

A decrease in the Corporate health insurance and medical services (only 50% of this business profits corresponds to Grupo Pacifico, given the partnership with Banmedica), which totaled S/53.8 million in 2021, 10.2% lower than the S/59.9 million reported in 2020 and higher than S/53.5 million reported in 2019.

The aforementioned was partially offset by an increase in the Crediseguro business, which represented S/8.4 million in 2021, 15.8% higher than the S/7.3 million reported in 2020 and S/19.5 million in 2019.

Grupo Pacifico’s net profit contribution to Credicorp was (S/129.3) million in 2021, 167.3% lower than the S/192.0 million reported in 2020.

Grupo Pacifico reported written premiums of S/4,339.2 million in 2021, which represented an increase of 17.0% compared to 2020. This was mainly attributable to disability and survivorship, annuities, commercial lines, individual life, medical assistance, and credit life, but attenuated by SOAT.

Financial Ratios

Grupo Pacifico’s ROAE was (5.0%) in 2021, lower than its return of 6.7% in 2020. This was explained by (i) lower underwriting results in the Life business due to the increase in net claims explained by the excess mortality generated as a consequence of the second wave COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) lower underwriting result in the P&C business was attributable to growth in claims through the Medical Assistance, Cars and Commercial Lines due to an uptick in claims frequency and severity after mobilization. These effects were mitigated by higher net financial income in Life business due to higher financial income, lower impairment loss and higher value fluctuation.

P&C Insurance Business

Grupo Pacifico’s P&C insurance business achieved net profit of S/148.5 million in 2021, which was 17.8% lower than the S/180.7 million reported in 2020. This decrease is attributable to (i) a decrease in underwriting result due to higher net claims, (ii) lower financial net income and (iii) higher operating expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in net premiums and lower underwriting expenses.

The 2021 underwriting result fell 8.3% from 2020, which was mainly attributable to an increase in net claims and higher acquisition cost, which was partially offset by an increase in written premiums.

Net claims increased 17.4% was attributable to growth in claims through the Medical Assistance, Cars and Commercial Lines due to an uptick in claims frequency and severity after mobilization restrictions were lifted in the year. As a result, the loss ratio in 2021 was 46.7% higher than 41.5% in 2020 because of the increase in claims as discussed above.

The net financial income decreased 39.1% from 2020 due to higher impairment loss and loss on sale of securities

Written premiums totaled S/1,813.6 million in 2021, which represented an increase of 9.5% compared to 2020. This increase was mainly attributable to Commercial Lines, due to the volume of policy renewals in Fire, Third-party Liability and Transportation risks; Medical Assistance, due to growth in premium renewals for comprehensive health and oncological products; Cars, due to an increase in renewals in the Brokers and Digital Sales channels, and Personal lines, due to an increase in policy issuances for the credit card product through digital sales and Personal Accidents. The aforementioned is lower than market growth (+15.1%). However, Pacifico maintained the second place in the P&C business with 21.3% of market share as of December 31, 2021, (versus 22.5% at the end of 2020), according to SBS.

Content

The decrease in the acquisition cost was associated with lower net underwriting expenses given that the expenses registered in 2020 was particularly high in Cars (in line with premium reimbursements in the context of the pandemic). This was attenuated by higher fees attributable to higher written premiums.

Life Insurance Business

Grupo Pacifico’s life insurance business’s net profit was (S/341.9) million in 2021, which was 536.9% below the (S/53.7) million reported in 2020. This decrease was mainly attributable to (i) a significant uptick in net claims, (ii) higher acquisition cost and total expenses and (iii) lower other income and translations results. These effects were mitigated by an important increase in written premiums and higher net financial income.

238

Content

In 2021, net claims increased by 44% compared to 2020, due to the excess mortality generated as a consequence of the second wave COVID-19 pandemic, mainly in D&S and Credit Life. This resulted in an increased loss ratio from 55.5% in 2020 to 80.5% in 2021.

Grupo Pacifico’s life insurance business reported written premiums of S/2,460.3 million in 2021, which represented an increase of 23.5% compared to 2020. This result is explained by the country’s economic recovery, mainly attributable to (i) D&S, which experienced an uptick in premium collections under the new SISCO V regimen via an increase in the premium rate; (ii) Annuities, due to growth in sales of Survivorship Annuities; (iii) Individual Life, which registered higher sales and an exchange rate effect; (iv) Credit life through the bancassurance channel due to higher sales; and (v) Group Life mainly by Statutory Life product. All these effects contributed to maintaining Grupo Pacifico’s leadership in the market, according to the SBS.

The acquisition cost ratio increased in 2021 compared to 2020 mainly due to the increase in fees in Individual life and Credit life according to higher premiums.

Financial income grew by 24% in 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of the increase in financial income as a result of an optimal investment management in terms of profitability and control, despite the volatile capital context during the second wave COVID-19 pandemic and the political situation.

Corporate Health and Medical Services Insurance Business

Corporate health insurance and medical services achieved a net profit of S/107.6 million in 2021, which was 10.2% lower than the S/119.7 million reported in 2020. This decrease in net profit can be attributed to a lower net profit in corporate health insurance, as a result of a higher expense for COVID-19 claims and also for the recovery of claims for other diseases, while in 2020 there is a lower consumption of claims during the first semester of 2020 (pandemic quarantine). The decrease in net profit was offset by an increase in medical services income, which was mainly attributable to health clinics and specialized clinics (S/102.3 million in 2021 versus S/28.2 million in 2020) as a result of an increase in the demand for services.

Underwriting, Actuarial and Reinsurance

Underwriting guidelines for substantially all the risks associated with the P&C and corporate health insurance business are developed by profit centers in collaboration with the actuarial staff. Grupo Pacifico’s P&C insurance business unit has an engineering staff that ensures that most medium and medium-to-large commercial properties are insured for risks prior to underwriting, while third party surveyors are employed to inspect smaller and/or lower risk properties. Pricing and underwriting guidelines, rates, and approval thresholds for these risks, are periodically reviewed by the staff, reported to the Risk and Pricing Committees, and continuously monitored to ensure that they are within competitive market conditions and profitability targets.

Grupo Pacifico’s P&C insurance business transfers risks to reinsurers in order to limit maximum aggregate potential losses and minimize exposures to large individual risks. Reinsurance companies are chosen based on the evaluation of the credit quality of the reinsurer, financial rating, terms of coverage and price. The P&C insurance business acts as a reinsurer on a very limited basis, providing excess facultative reinsurance capacity to other Peruvian insurers that are unable to satisfy their reinsurance requirements and/or the interests of Peruvian clients in the Latin American region.

Historically, Grupo Pacifico’s P&C insurance business has obtained reinsurance for a substantial portion of its earthquake-related insurance portfolio through excess loss reinsurance treaties. In 2012, Grupo Pacifico’s P&C insurance business negotiated proportional reinsurance support for this portfolio, which it maintains as of December 31, 2021. The insurance business has property catastrophe reinsurance coverage that covers its probable maximum loss under local regulatory requirements. However, there is no guarantee that a major catastrophe would not have a material adverse impact on Grupo Pacifico’s financial condition and/or its operations.

In 2021, Grupo Pacifico’s total ceded reinsurance premiums totaled approximately US$197.0 million (approximately 18.2% of total group written premiums), of which approximately 90% were ceded to carriers with A- and above ratings.

Grupo Pacifico’s life insurance business holds excess loss reinsurance contracts for its individual life, personal accident, group life and credit life products; in the case of work compensation risk insurance and D&S products, a quota share contract is held. Catastrophic reinsurance contracts cover all of Grupo Pacifico’s lifelines (Individual Life, Personal Accident, Group Life, Credit Life, SCTR and D&S), except for the annuity line. Life premiums ceded to reinsurers represented less than 8.5% of the life insurance businesses written premiums in 2021.

Investment Portfolio

Grupo Pacifico’s investments are primarily made to meet its solvency equity ratio and provide reserves for its claims. Investments are managed by product within P&C and life insurance business; and are designed to contain sufficient assets to match the company’s liabilities. Grupo Pacifico has adopted strict policies related to investment decisions that are reviewed and approved by Grupo Pacifico’s Board of Directors on a monthly basis. Grupo Pacifico invests in local and international markets, emphasizing investments in Peru, the United States, and Latin America.

As of December 31, 2021, the market value of Grupo Pacifico’s investment portfolio was S/14,021 million, which included mainly S/11,542 million in fixed income instruments, S/1,370 million in investment properties, S/707 million in equity securities, and S/402 million in alternative investments. This diversified portfolio follows an asset-liability management strategy focused on cash flow, duration, and currency matching of assets (portfolio) and liabilities (reserves), as well as on supporting Grupo Pacifico’s capital structure. Grupo Pacifico’s financial income increased by 18% in 2021 to S/654.3 million from S/555.9 million in 2020.

6.3.2 Prima AFP

As of December 31, 2021, the number of affiliates in Prima AFP was 2.3 million, slightly lower than the 2.4 million in 2020 and 2.4 million in 2019.

Prima AFP’s funds under management reached S/40.1 billion in 2021, which was 19.4% lower than the S/49.8 billion in 2020 and 26.0% lower than the S/54.2 billion in 2019. The decrease was mainly due to fund withdrawal approved by the government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, nominal annual yields were 0.7%, -2.2%, 6.4%, and 18.9% for Funds 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Prima AFP’s revenues were S/378.7 million in 2021, higher than S/352.1 million in 2020 and lower than S/403.3 in 2019.

Additionally, operating expenses amounted to S/189.5 million in 2021, which was an increase as compared to S/162.3 million in 2020 and S/172.1 million in 2019. This increase was mainly due to higher projects, technology, and personnel expense.

Prima AFP’s net profit was S/146.1.million in 2021, which was a decrease compared to S/148.1 million and S/196.6 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, Prima AFP’s ROAE increased to 22.9% compared to 21.2% in 2020 and decreased compared to 29.5% in 2019.

6.4 Investment Banking and Wealth Management

Our Investment Banking and Wealth Management LoB registered a net profit attributable to Credicorp of S/163.9 million in 2021. During this year, we faced a particularly challenging context in which, in addition to the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we went through periods of high political uncertainty and social instability in the region. This situation had an impact on the performance and dynamism of our business units, especially those with higher volatility, and tested the company’s ability to adapt to the new needs of our customers while developing ongoing key strategic projects for our future growth. This year, despite the difficult conditions and adversities, we maintained our leadership position in financial advisory services to the region’s main companies, reaching total revenues that exceeded 2020 figures by 8%.

6.4.1 Corporate Finance

Our Corporate Finance business was affected by a context in which both economic and market conditions proved unfavorable for the execution of corporate transactions. However, we achieved to execute a series of large-scale transactions throughout 2021 (mainly towards the last quarter of the year), including the structuring of the loans granted to Aeropuertos del Peru, Cementos Pacasmayo, Ferrocarril Central Andino and Universidad Tecnologica del Peru in Peru; and a series of transactions in Colombia (especially in Advisory and M&A) where the business grew considerably as compared to the previous year.

6.4.2 Asset Management

In our Asset Management business, market conditions driven by the political and social context led to early withdrawals from local traditional funds during the second and third quarters of the year. This was mainly attributable to Peru, where Mutual Funds lost assets under management by almost 50% between April (where the first round of the presidential elections took place) and the end of the year. However, local asset outflows where partially offset as part of this funds migrated to our offshore platforms, where we offer proprietary funds under regional strategies (such as our Vision Global funds and Luxembourg funds) and third-party funds to our private banking and institutional clients. Clients were attracted by an offer of products that maintained international standards and competitive returns, as well as an investment team with knowledge and specialization in the Latin American market.

By the end of the year, total assets under management, including institutional and retail clients, exceeded S/94 billion, representing a decrease of 1.5% compared to the previous year. Nonetheless, revenues exceeded results in 2020 by 29%, boosted by the growth in traditional and third-party offshore funds (especially from Peruvian clients), higher revenues from distribution of third-party products (especially in Chile and Colombia) and a continued development of a regional platform of alternative funds.

One of the main objectives for the business is to expand our offering outside the region, mainly through our platform fund in Luxembourg, which, in 2021, exceeded US$790 million in assets under management among four funds, with a significant participation of institutional clients within the region. We plan to continue enhancing our Luxembourg platform with new strategies, as well as reaching new pockets of funds in foreign markets through alliances with placement agents in Europe and the United States.

6.4.3 Capital Markets

Our Capital Markets business was significantly affected by the volatility introduced by the political and social context in the region. Revenues in the management of proprietary trading positions, including long and short positioning strategies, together with hedging strategies with derivatives instruments, decreased as compared to 2020. On the other hand, our sales business saw higher traded volumes in Peru, as our private banking clients settled their equity positions as a measure to reduce their exposure to the local market; and higher revenues from the Corporate segment in Colombia and Chile; allowing us to match 2020 revenues and to maintain our leadership in both fixed income and equities intermediation.

It should be noted that, in alignment with the company’s strategy of jointly managing the businesses of Credicorp Capital and ASB Bank Corp., a Chilean Equity proprietary portfolio, a Peruvian Local Fixed Income portfolio and an International Fixed Income portfolio are managed in ASB Bank Corp.

6.4.4 Wealth Management

Our Wealth Management business saw varied results across countries: Revenues grew in Peru and Chile but were partially offset by lower income in Colombia. Total revenues increased 37% as compared to 2020 and assets under management reached a total of S/65.3 billion (an increase of 5.1% as compared to 2020).

In Peru, the business was also impacted by the conditions set by the political and social context. Significant outflows were recorded in our onshore platform, as a risk-mitigation measure from our clients to reduce their exposure to the local markets due to political instability. As mentioned above, clients placed early withdrawals from traditional local funds and settled their equity positions in the local capital markets. However, local outflows were offset as funds migrated to our offshore platforms, where we also registered fresh funds inflows. As a result, assets under management increased in Peru as compared to 2020. Likewise, revenues were boosted by increased offshore proprietary and third-party funds; larger traded volumes in brokerage; increased deposit balances; and Vicctus, our Multi Family Office service. It should be noted that revenues were also boosted by an important reversal of provisions for impairment of some private banking clients.

Content

In Chile, both revenues and assets under management increased as compared to 2020, driven by higher traded volumes in asset management products and brokerage; and by an important client outreach effort in Vicctus. In Colombia a reduced number of bankers and changes in the advisory model led to lower revenues in brokerage and asset management products. However, assets under management increased as compared to 2020, measured in local currency.

It should be noted that, in 2020, we launched Vicctus, our renewed Multi Family Office service for the ultra-high-net-worth clientele of the region led by a senior and highly talented team. Vicctus, among other things, offers the most exclusive investment opportunities, specialized services beyond financial and investment advisory, direct access to the United States, and the possibility to provide advisory services within third party platforms.

BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco

BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco actively manage their capital resources, in order to comply with both solvency regulatory requirements and their own internal limits.

In March 2021, BCP Stand-alone successfully made a tender offer of its subordinated debt maturing in 2026 and 2027, where a combined amount of US$477 million of the outstanding debt was redeemed and new Tier 2 notes maturing in 2031 for US$500 million were issued instead. The successful tender offer effectively extended BCP Stand-alone’s bond maturity profile while helping BCP Stand-alone maintain an efficient capital structure.

In December 2020, Mibanco generate capital contributions for a total of S/400.1 million. Subsequently, in March 2021, portfolio provisions were established in line with that recommended by SBS and complying with the conditions stipulated in official letter 42138-2020-SBS. This reduced the capital previously contributed and reflected the Board’s decision to support management needs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2020, a capital increase was executed for Mibanco Colombia for 75,000 million COP to strengthen future growth under the strategic plan in place.

For transparency purposes and to demonstrate the calculation of the CET1 ratio, Credicorp periodically discloses BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco’s adjusted total RWAs.

(2) Cash flows and Capital Expenditures

The following table shows net cash from operating, investing and financing activities, for the periods indicated:

	2019			2020			2021
	In thousands of Soles
Net cash flow from operating activities		6,933,711			12,686,823			3,972,994
Net cash flows from investing activities		726,207			(1,873,356	)		(3,727,711	)
Net cash flows from financing activities		(3,551,805	)		(2,088,460	)		(465,296	)

Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities of S/8,714 thousand in 2021 compared to 2020, was mainly due to the reduction in accounts payable from repurchase agreements associated with government programs and the increase in loans. This was partially offset by a decrease in investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and an increase in deposits.

In 2020, the increase in net cash flow from operating activities was S/5,753 thousand compared to 2019, which was mainly due to higher growth of deposits and payables from repurchase agreements, as a result of government programs. The increase in net cash flow was partially offset by higher growth of loans and investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Investing Activities

Variations in net cash flow from investing activities were mainly due to the net effect of purchases and sales of investments sovereign bonds at amortized cost.

In 2021, 2020, and 2019 intangibles assets consumed cash of S/532 million, S/535 million, and S/372 million, respectively, mainly driven by digital transformation efforts and disruptive initiatives.

Financing Activities

The lower cash used in net cash flow from financing activities of S/1,623 thousand in 2021 compared to 2020, was mainly due to lower dividend payments in line with lower earnings due to the pandemic.

The lower cash used in net cash flow from financing activities was S/1,463 thousand in 2020 compared to 2019, which was mainly due to the issuance of subordinated notes of US$850 million by BCP stand-alone, partially offset by repurchases of subordinated bonds.

(3) Liquidity Risk

We manage our assets and liabilities to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our present and future financial obligations and take advantage of appropriate business opportunities as they arise. Liquidity risk represents the potential for loss as a result of limitations on our ability to adjust future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and to fund operations on a timely and cost-effective basis. Financial obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayment on maturity of purchased funds, extensions of loans or other forms of credit, and working capital needs.

The growth of our deposit base over the years has enabled us to significantly increase our lending activity. BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco are subject to SBS Resolution No. 9075-2012, enacted in December 2012, which set responsibilities for liquidity management within the different committees and risk units, and established minimum liquidity ratios. The ratio of liquid assets as a percentage of short-term liabilities, as defined by the SBS, must exceed 8% for Soles-based transactions and 20% for foreign exchange transactions. The aggregate average daily ratios of BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco during December 2021 was 32.69% and 49.06% for Soles and foreign exchange transactions, respectively, demonstrating our excess liquidity. We have never defaulted on any of our debt or been forced to reschedule any of our obligations. Even during the early 1980s, when the government of Peru and many Peruvian companies and banks were forced to restructure their debt as a result of the Latin American debt crisis and government restrictions, BCP Stand-alone and Grupo Pacifico complied with all of their payment obligations.

The available sources of excess liquidity for Soles and foreign exchange transactions for BCP Stand-alone are as follows. Information with respect to BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco has been aggregated for December 2019, 2020 and 2021:

The capability of replacing interest-bearing deposits at their maturity is a key factor in determining liquidity requirements, as well as the exposure to interest and exchange rate risks. RBG, as well as BCP Stand-alone’s private banking group, have developed a diversified and stable deposit base that, in each case, provides us with a low-cost source of funding. This deposit base has traditionally been one of our greatest strengths. The deposit-gathering strategy has focused on products considered to be BCP Stand-alone’s core deposits: demand deposits, savings, time deposits, and severance indemnity deposits. Other sources of funds and liquidity, which are mostly short- and long-term borrowings from correspondent banks and other financial institutions, issued bonds, and notes issued, are of a considerably lower significance compared to our core deposits.

Corporate policies have been implemented by the Group for liquidity risk management. These policies are consistent with the appropriate characteristics of each operating segment, where each of the Group companies operates. The Risk Committee establishes limits and autonomy models to determine the adequate liquidity indicators to be managed.

251

Content

Throughout 2021 the Group continuously assessed and monitored the sufficiency of its liquid assets in order to cover or mitigate contingencies that could stress the funding requirements of the Group’s companies.

Universal banking and Microfinance

Liquidity risk exposure is based on indicators such as the Internal Liquidity Coverage Ratio (ILCR) which measures the amount of liquid assets available to meet needs that would result from cash outflows within a given stress scenario for a period of 30 days, and the Internal Net Stable Funding Ratio, which is intended to ensure that long-term assets are financed with a minimum number of stable liabilities within a prolonged liquidity crisis scenario (funding crisis); the latter indicator functions as a minimum compliance mechanism that supplements the ILCR. The core limits of these indicators are 100% and any excess is presented to the Credicorp Treasury and ALM Risk Committee, Credicorp Risk Committee and ALM Committee of the respective subsidiary. Furthermore, Credicorp has internal appetite risk limits that are monitored and reported on to the Credicorp Treasury and ALM Risk Committee.

Insurance

Liquidity risk management follows a particular approach reflecting the nature of the business. For annually renewable businesses, the focus of liquidity is the quick availability of resources in the event of a systemic event (for example, an earthquake). For this purpose, there are minimum investment indicators in place relating to local cash/time deposits and foreign fixed-income instruments of high quality and liquidity.

For long-term insurance businesses, given the nature of the products offered and the contractual relationship with customers, the liquidity risk is not material. Rather, the focus is on maintaining a sufficient flow of assets and matching their maturities with the maturities of obligations (for example, through the mathematical reserve). For this purpose, there are indicators that measure the asset/liability sufficiency and adequacy, as well as calculations of economic capital subject to interest rate risk.

Pension funds

Liquidity risk management is differentiated between the fund administrator and the funds being managed. Liquidity risk management regarding the fund administrator is focused on meeting periodic operating expense needs, which are supported by the collection of commissions. The fund administrator does not record unexpected outflows of liquidity because its main financial obligations are payroll payments, taxes, reserve requirements and other accounts payable to suppliers. Liquidity risk in the funds managed (pension funds) is focused on meeting liquidity requirements due to scheduled pension payments, funds transfers to other AFPs, withdrawals of voluntary contributions, or anything else deemed necessary to be included in estimations. For this purpose, the company holds highly liquid assets as part of the managed portfolios to meet these cash requirements.

252

Content

Investment banking

Liquidity risk principally affects the security brokerage. In managing this risk, limits on the use of liquidity have been implemented to promote matching maturities by dealing desk. Follow-up liquidity assessments are performed on a daily basis for a short-term horizon covering imminent settlements. If short-term unmatched maturities are observed, repurchase agreements are used. On the other hand, structural risk is not significant given the low levels of debt, which are monitored regularly using financial planning tools.

BCP Stand-alone is required to keep deposits with the BCRP as legal reserves. The amount of required deposits in the BCRP is determined as a percentage of the deposits and other liabilities owed by BCP Stand-alone to its clients. The current requirement is approximately 4.77% of BCP Stand-alone’s Soles-denominated deposits and approximately 33.17% of BCP Stand-alone’s US Dollar-denominated deposits as of December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, we had uncommitted credit lines, including long-term facilities that are mainly used for project financing, of which no significant amount was drawn down. We have also received long term funding from COFIDE and other international lenders. These funding sources have average annual rates (including Libor) ranging from 1.15% to 7.53% in soles and from 0.40% to 8.30% in foreign currency. As of December 31, 2021, we maintain S/7,111.5 million in due to banks and correspondents, secured by the collection of BCP Stand-alone’s (including its foreign branches) instructing correspondent banks to make a payment of a certain amount to a beneficiary that is not an FI. For further details, see Notes 15(a), (b) and (c) to the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, borrowed funds due to banks and correspondents, including payable interests, amounted to S/8,841.7, S/5,978.3 million and S/7,212.9 million, respectively.

In addition, another source of funds arises out of issuing bonds and notes. The following table presents our principal issued bonds from 2019 to 2021:

5. D	Trend Information

The following list sets forth the most important trends, uncertainties and events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity, or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

We expect Peru’s GDP to grow 2.5% in 2022 due to a contractionary monetary and fiscal policies in Peru in response to high levels of inflation in 2021. In 2022, the BCRP has already raised the reference rate three times, rising it to 4.5%. On the other hand, there are several factors driving uncertainty, which may affect these results. For further information regarding GDP expectations from the countries where Credicorp operates, see ““ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our banking and capital market operations in neighboring countries expose us to risk related to political and economic conditions” and “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervisión and regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – Instruments of Monetary Policy”.

COVID-19

The first factor is the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with the emergence of new variants that are more contagious. In January 2022 a new subvariant of the Omicron variant was discovered and has been called BA.2. This subvariant is called “the silent variant” because it is more difficult to detect with current tests. These variants have already caused a new wave in Denmark and cases have been found in Peru since February 2022.

Nevertheless, Peru has a positive vaccination trend and more than 80% of the population over 12 years old is already vaccinated. Starting in January 2022, children between 5 and 12 years of age also have begun to be vaccinated. Thus, this vaccination level could help Peru to face a new wave without high levels of deaths as up to date with the third wave of COVID-19 that Peru is facing.

For further information about COVID-19 and its effect in the countries where Credicorp operates, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our business and results of operations could continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak or other public health crises beyond our control”.

Executive measures

Stimulus packages could affect our business operations and growth expectations. Recently, the executive branch proposed a number of economic measures, including:

•

Public Spending: The government effected transfers to vulnerable households.

•

Liquidity Programs: The government reprogrammed the Reactiva Peru program. Between June and December 2022, new grace periods will expire.

KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk – Regulatory changes and adoption of new international guidelines to sectors in which we operate could impact our earnings and adversely affect our operating performance.”

AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS – 5.A Operating Results – (2) Political and Macroeconomic environment”.

New imposed regulations

In March 2022, changes aimed at better compliance with the standards established by the Basel International Regulatory Framework for Banks (Basel III) were made to the Regulatory Capital definitions rules. Although the main changes will be applied beginning January 2023, there still relevant regulation to be passed by the Banking Regulator to implement the aforementioned law and provide any adequacy period.

For further information about capital requirements, please see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – Capital Requirements”

The evolution of the above factors may impact Credicorp’s results and operations in the following ways:

•

Loans: Lending activity is expected to follow dynamics similar to those seen during the second half of 2021. In this context, the Structural Loan Portfolio, which excludes Reactiva loans, is expected to grow between 8 and 10% in average daily balances. The evolution in total loans will depend on the pace at which Reactiva balances are amortized.

•

NIM: We expect an upward trend in market rates due to the positive sensitivity to the BCRP’s contractionary monetary policy, which has already raised the reference rate to 4.5% in April 2022, since our efforts will be focused on retail segments.

•

Portfolio quality and Cost of risk: As we have seen positive payment trends continue and we have improved our intelligence capabilities, we anticipate that the cost of risk will fluctuate still below prepandemic levels.

•

Net Premiums and claims: We expect to maintain the positive trend in premiums growth and a reduction in claims, given the higher vaccination rate of the population and the fact that the most widespread COVID-19 variants are currently less lethal than the previous ones.

•

Operating efficiency: In 2022, we will focus on the evolution of digital transformation and disruptive ecosystem. Therefore, we will maintain higher expenses related to these objectives.

For further information, see “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors” where we present risks to our business operations, operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

256

Content

In a medium-term perspective, we review our strategic initiatives on a constant basis:

•

Credicorp: We are committed to collaborating to create a more sustainable and inclusive economy, to improve the financial health of the population and to empower our customers and employees to thrive. In order to accomplish this commitment, we are leveraging our digital transformation strategy and disruptive innovation to continue creating value for all of our stakeholders.

•

Universal Banking: Maintaining our clients’ experience and operating efficiency remain our priorities.

At BCP Stand-alone, we will continue to focus on anticipating changes and trends in the market and on challenging our business models to ensure on-going innovation.

At Yape, we aspire to expand the value proposition for small businesses and individual clients through new products and services.

At BCP Bolivia, we will continue to migrate retail sales to digital channels and work on increase the user base and number of transactions in our Soli ecosystem.

•

Microfinance: We seek to consolidate our presence at the base of the pyramid as it continues to accompany client growth.

At Mibanco Peru, will continue to increase the number of monthly disbursements; and continue to accelerate the implementation of our hybrid model by increase the disbursements through alternative channels and generated through leads.

At Mibanco Colombia, we will drive organic and inorganic growth with a special emphasis on implementing alternative channels and developing alliances

•

Insurance and Pensions:

At Pacifico, we will increase our digital sales and levels of self-management as we strengthen the simplicity and transparency or our processes to ensure client satisfaction. Additionally, we will work hand-in-hand with BCP and Mibanco to reach more people through inclusive insurances.

At Prima AFP, we will continue developing products and alliances that promote voluntary savings and will contribute proposals for changes in the regulatory framework that benefit both affiliates and the pension system in general.

•

Investment Banking & Wealth Management: we will be focus on reformulating the offshore service model and on developing a value proposition to grow in the retail segment.

5. E	Critical accounting estimates

The audited annual consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported figures of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses and disclose significant events in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

257

Content

Our estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including the reasonable expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. The final results could differ from these estimates; however, Management expects that the variations, if any, will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Key areas involving a high degree of judgment with respect to our estimates and assumptions in the consolidated financial statements include:

(1)

the calculation of the impairment of the portfolio of loans and financial investments;

(2)

the measurement of the fair value of the financial investments;

(3)

the assessment of the impairment of the goodwill;

(4)

the liabilities for insurance contracts;

(5)

the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments; and

(6)

the valuation of share-based payment plans.

Other estimates include the estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, furniture and equipment, and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

We believe that our judgments, estimates and assumptions are appropriate under the circumstances and that our audited annual consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial positions of Credicorp as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, in accordance with IFRS.

For more information about our critical accounting estimates and judgments, see: “Note 3 Significant accounting policies, a) Basis of presentation, use of estimates and changes in accounting policies” to the consolidated financial statements; “Note 34.1 Credit Risk” and “Note 34.2 Market Risk Management” for a discussion of risk and sensitivity of certain items; “ITEM 3.

Credicorp’s and Grupo Credito’s Board of Directors, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation and Nominations Committee, decides on the appointment, ratification or removal of committee members. Directors who are members of committees are appointed to an initial term of up to three-years and maintain such appointments only while being a member of the Board. Regarding Board Committees, the Board of Directors of each of Credicorp and Grupo Credito, designates a chairperson among its members and approves the respective charters.

On February 5, 2020, the Board of Directors agreed to simplify the structure of its committees, reducing the number of committees from seven to four. As a result, the Executive Committee and the Investment Committee were eliminated, and the Remuneration and Compensation Committees and the Nominating Committee were integrated.

On June 3, 2020, the Board of Directors approved new criteria to define which Directors are categorized as Independent. International references for best practice were utilized to improve and broaden the Independence criteria. The new scope can be found in Credicorp’s Corporate Governance Policy, which is available on Credicorp’s web page.

For the purposes of complying with the Bermuda Government’s Economic Substance regulations, Credicorp’s Board of Directors decided to limit its decisions to “passive” matters related to the Company, beginning on October 29, 2020. For further details, see “ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES – 6.C Board Decision-Making”.

On December 17, 2020, the Board of Directors of Credicorp approved an initiative to broaden the scope of the Corporate Governance Committee and was renamed to “Sustainability Committee” to reflect its goal to lead and supervise Credicorp’s Sustainability program. For further information, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (1) Credicorp Overview – Our ESG Approach.”

The Board of Directors has also assigned the Audit Committee the responsibility of overseeing the audit committees at all of Credicorp’s subsidiaries, to the extent permitted by local regulations.

275

Content

Credicorp does not have a fully independent Compensation and Nominations Committee. When the Committee was created, the Board of Directors determined that the most important criterion to select Directors to serve on the Committee was deep knowledge of the organization and its people, which, coupled with the leadership and continuity provided by senior management, ensures that the organization functions efficiently. The Board of Directors believes that each individual on the Committee makes quality, independent judgments in the best interests of Credicorp with regard to all relevant issues and that the committee’s structure currently represents the best possible configuration to ensure that goals are met.

The Compensation and Nominations Committee is responsible for (i) selecting and recommending to the Board of Directors the candidates to be proposed to the General Meeting of Shareholders of Credicorp, as well as to fill any vacancies; (ii) evaluating candidates for the Board of Directors to determine if they meet Credicorp’s independence criteria; (iii) proposing to the Board of Directors of Credicorp, for submission to the General Meeting of Shareholders, the attendance fees and remuneration levels of the members of the Boards of Directors and Committees of Credicorp; and (iv) defining the general guidelines of the Compensation Policy that must be implemented in Credicorp.

In 2021, Credicorp’s Risk Committee held three meetings.

The Risk Committee’s duties are: (i) acknowledging and informing Credicorp’s Board of Directors the level of compliance with the risk appetite and the level of exposure assumed by the Group; and (ii) acknowledging the relevant improvements in the comprehensive risk management of the Group.

Credicorp is neither directly nor indirectly controlled by another corporation or by any foreign government.

The Finance Areas of each company are responsible of identifying these operations and escalating them to the Board of Directors.

These transactions are considered pre-approved by Credicorp’s Board of Directors and may be reported to the Sustainability Committee in order to ensure good practices and detect potential conflicts of interest. For the daily approval of these transactions, the current policies and regulations of each Credicorp company will be followed.

We, along with our subsidiaries, are involved in certain legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of conducting business. We do not believe that any liabilities that may result from such proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, or on the financial condition or results of operations of any of our subsidiaries.

The following is a description of material litigation in which we or our subsidiaries are engaged in as of the date of this Annual Report, or that has had, in the recent past, significant effects on the Company’s financial position or profitability.

Madoff Trustee Litigation. In September 2011, the Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. (BLMIS) and the substantively consolidated estate of Bernard L. Madoff (the Madoff Trustee) filed a complaint (the Madoff Complaint) against Credicorp’s subsidiary, ASB (currently ASB Bank Corp.), in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Madoff Complaint seeks recovery of approximately US$120 million in principal amount, which is alleged to be equal to the amount of redemptions between the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 of ASB-managed Atlantic U.S. Blue Chip Fund assets invested in Fairfield Sentry Limited (Fairfield Sentry) together with fees, costs, interest, and expenses. The Madoff Complaint seeks the recovery of these redemptions from ASB Bank Corp. as “subsequent transfers” or “avoided transfers” from BLMIS to Fairfield Sentry, which Fairfield Sentry in turn subsequently transferred to ASB Bank Corp. The Madoff Trustee has filed similar “claw back” actions against numerous other alleged “subsequent transferees” that invested in Fairfield Sentry and its sister entities, which, in turn, invested in and redeemed funds from BLMIS.

There has been significant briefing on issues related to these Madoff Trustee actions, and these cases have been pending for many years. In November 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Memorandum Decision Regarding Claims to Recover Foreign Subsequent Transfers (the Memorandum Decision) holding that the recovery of certain subsequent foreign transfers is barred under the doctrine of comity and/or extraterritoriality, and dismissed the claims brought by the Madoff Trustee against a number of parties, including ASB. In March 2017, the Madoff Trustee filed an appeal (the Appeal) of the Memorandum Decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which reversed the Dismissal Order and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court (the Second Circuit Opinion). In April 2019, the defendant-appellees, including ASB, filed, and the Second Circuit granted, a motion to stay the issuance of the mandate pending the filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. The petition for a writ of certiorari was filed in the United States Supreme Court in August 2019. On or about June 1, 2020, the United States Supreme Court denied the petition for a writ of certiorari. Following the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari, the judgment for dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court was vacated and the matter was remanded back to the Bankruptcy Court. The case now remains pending in the Bankruptcy Court. On March 25, 2022, ASB Bank Corp. filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. While management believes that ASB has defenses against the Madoff Trustee’s claims and intends to defend against any action by the Madoff Trustee, in view of recent judicial decisions in cases not involving ASB, certain defenses are no longer available. In this context, Credicorp has constituted a provision that management considers reasonable with the information available today.

Fairfield Litigation. In April 2012, Fairfield Sentry (In Liquidation) and its representative, Kenneth Krys (the Fairfield Liquidator), filed a complaint (the Fairfield Complaint) against ASB in the Bankruptcy Court (the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding). The Fairfield Complaint seeks to recover US$115.2 million in principal amount from ASB, representing the amount of ASB’s redemptions of certain investments in Fairfield Sentry, together with fees, costs, interest, and expenses. These are essentially the same funds that the Madoff Trustee seeks to recover in the Madoff Trustee litigation as described above. After the Fairfield Complaint was filed, the Bankruptcy Court procedurally consolidated the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding with other adversary actions brought by the Fairfield Liquidator against former investors in Fairfield Sentry.

Similar to the Madoff Trustee litigation, the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding, and related adversary actions have been pending for many years. In October 2016, the Fairfield Liquidator filed a Motion for Leave to Amend (the Motion for Leave) various complaints, including the Fairfield Complaint. Certain defendants, including ASB, filed a motion to dismiss (the Motion to Dismiss) and a consolidated memorandum of law (i) in opposition to the Motion for Leave and (ii) in support of the Motion to Dismiss. In December 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum decision granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion for Leave (the Memorandum Decision). In March 2019, the Fairfield Liquidator submitted a form of a stipulated order dismissing the adversary proceeding against ASB (the Dismissal Order), as directed by the Bankruptcy Court, but filed notices of appeal, including of the dismissal of the claims asserted against ASB and other defendants, in May 2019. The appeal remains pending. Management believes that ASB has defenses against the Fairfield Liquidator’s claims alleged in the Amended Complaint and the Fairfield Liquidator’s appeal.

(2) Government Investigations

The former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credicorp, in their respective capacities as Chairman of the Board and as a Director of BCP Stand-alone, were summoned as witnesses by Peruvian prosecutors, along with 26 other Peruvian business leaders, to testify in connection with a judicial investigation that is being carried out regarding contributions made to the electoral campaign of a political party in the 2011 Peruvian presidential elections. Our former Chairman testified on November 18, 2019, and our Vice Chairman testified on December 9, 2019. The former Chairman informed prosecutors that in 2010 and 2011 Credicorp made donations totaling US$3.65 million to the Fuerza Popular 2011 campaign (in total amounts of US$1.7 million in 2010 and US$1.95 million in 2011). These contributions were made in coordination with the General Manager of Credicorp at that time. While the amount of these contributions exceeded the limits then permitted under Peruvian electoral law, the law in place at that time provided no sanction for contributors, and instead only for the recipient of the campaign contribution.

The former Chairman also informed prosecutors that in 2016, three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico) made donations totaling S/711,000 (approximately US$200,000) to the Peruanos Por el Kambio campaign. These contributions were made in compliance with both Peruvian electoral law and Credicorp’s own political contributions guidelines, adopted in 2015. These guidelines provided details on the procedures for obtaining approval for contributions and outlined the specific required conditions for transparent contributions.

The Peruvian SMV has initiated a sanctioning process against Credicorp, for failing to disclose to the market, in due course, the political campaign contributions in the years 2011 and 2016. The SMV also has initiated a sanctioning process against three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico) for failing to disclose to the market, in due course, the political campaign contributions made in connection with the 2016 presidential elections. The SMV has recently notified Credicorp, BCP, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico with first instance Resolutions on these proceedings. The mentioned Resolutions imposed pecuniary sanctions (fines) on Credicorp and the three subsidiaries as a consequence of these sanctioning processes. Credicorp, BCP, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico have appealed the Resolutions.

On December 8, 2021, Credicorp informed that the Peruvian SMV was notified of the resolution issued by the Provisional Superior Chamber Specialized in Administrative Litigation of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima (the “Court”), pursuant to which the Court has admitted for consideration Credicorp’s contentious-administrative claim challenging the SMV’s resolution (by negative administrative silence), with reference to the appeal filed by Credicorp mentioned in the prior paragraph.

Under the Resolution, the SMV resolved to sanction Credicorp (i) with a fine of 300 Peruvian Tax Units (Unidades Impositivas Tributarias or UITs by their Spanish initials), representing approximately US $270,000, for, allegedly, having infringed (categorized as “very serious”) (muy grave) subsection 1.6, numeral 1 of Annex 1 of the Sanctions Regulation, approved by CONASEV Resolution N° 055-2001-EF / 94.10, effective as from 2011; and (ii) with a fine of 210 UITs (approximately US $207,375) for, allegedly, having violated (categorized as “very serious”) (muy grave) subsection 1.5, numeral 1 of Annex 1 of the Sanctions Regulation, approved by CONASEV Resolution N° 055-2001-EF / 94.10 and modified by Resolution N° 006-2012-SMV / 01, effective as from 2016. The charges made by the SMV against Credicorp were that the company had affected the transparency of the stock market by not having disclosed relevant information to the market regarding Credicorp’s cash contributions to the political party Fuerza Popular during the 2011 Peruvian presidential campaign (first charge) and that the Company had affected the transparency of the stock market by not having disclosed relevant information to the market regarding Credicorp’s agreement to make contributions to the political party Peruanos por el Kambio during the 2016 Peruvian presidential campaign (second charge).

286

Content

Because Credicorp was neither in agreement with the categorization of the facts nor with the sanctions imposed, Credicorp filed an appeal challenging the Resolution. Subsequently, after the expiration of the term to resolve in the appeal (second administrative instance), Credicorp asserted its right to negative administrative silence and to resort to the Judiciary. Notwithstanding, Credicorp proceeded to pay the fines imposed by the SMV, in compliance with Peruvian law.

Thus, since Credicorp’s contentious-administrative claim filed was admitted for consideration by the Court, the administrative procedure has terminated with respect to Credicorp, and the matter is now subject to the decision of the Judiciary.

On March 4, 2022, Grupo Pacifico was informed that the Peruvian SMV was notified of the resolution issued by the Superior Chamber Specialized in Administrative Litigation of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima (the “Court”), pursuant to which the Court has admitted for consideration Grupo Pacifico´s contentious-administrative claim challenging the SMV´s resolution (by negative administrative silence), with reference to the appeal filed by Grupo Pacifico mentioned above. Thus, since Grupo Pacifico´s mentioned claim was admitted for consideration by the Court, the administrative procedure has terminated with respect to Grupo Pacifico, and the matter is now subject to the decision of the Judiciary.

Regarding BCP and Mibanco the administrative proceedings are still in the SMV.

Credicorp believes that neither the contributions disclosed by our former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman in 2019 nor the related SMV sanctioning processes pose a significant risk of material liability to the Company. Furthermore, Credicorp does not believe that either of the contributions will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, or profitability.

On November 11, 2021, Credicorp disclosed that its incoming CEO, Mr. Gianfranco Ferrari de las Casas, informed the Company that he was notified of a Prosecutor’s Decision issued by the Corporate Supraprovincial Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Officer Corruption Offenses Special Team – Fourth Court Division (Fiscalia Supraprovincial Corporativa Especializada en Delitos de Corrupcion de Funcionarios Equipo Especial – Cuarto Despacho). Through such notice, Mr. Ferrari was informed that he has been included in the preparatory investigation carried out against Mr. Yehude Simon M. and an additional 65 individuals on the grounds of, in his particular case, alleged primary complicity in the alleged crime against the public administration, aggravated collusion, incompatible negotiation or improper use of position and criminal organization detrimental to the Peruvian State, in connection with the financial advisory services provided by BCP Stand-alone to the Olmos Project.

Credicorp has reviewed the performance of the officers of Banco de Credito del Peru in relation to the financial advisory services provided by the Bank in connection with the Olmos Project and has concluded that the facts under investigation do not give rise to any liability of Banco de Credito del Peru or its officers. Credicorp bases this view on the qualified opinion of external consultants specializing in the matter. Therefore, Credicorp considers that the opening of the aforementioned preparatory investigation will not have any impact on the normal operation of the Company and tat it will not affect the dedication and performance of its officers in undertaking their regular duties.

Regulatory Sanctions

In January 2021, The SBS imposed a fine on Prima AFP in the amount of twenty-five UIT (approximately US$27,500) for serious infringement related to incorrect categorization of investments in relation to Infrastructure Funds and Private Equity. The Company’s management acknowledged the infringement and adopted all necessary measures to prevent any further occurrence.

In October 2021, the SBS imposed a fine on BCP Stand-alone in the amount of thirty-one UIT (approximately US$34,100) for serious infringement related to unauthorized disclosure of client´s operations. The Company´s management acknowledged the infringement and adopted all necessary measures to prevent any further occurrence.

Dividend Policy

Under Bermuda law, a dividend may only be declared and paid if the Company is able to (i) pay its liabilities as they become due, and (ii) the realizable value of its assets is not less than the aggregate value of its liabilities, issued share capital and share premium accounts.

Each year, the Company intends to declare and pay dividends in cash of at least 25% of the Company’s consolidated net profits based on the last audited financial accounts. The Board of Directors shall take into consideration the following when deciding whether to distribute dividends:

•

The availability of dividends from the Company’s subsidiaries;

•

Whether the declaration and payment of dividends would cause the Company to breach any applicable laws or adversely impact on the equity growth requirements of the Company or its subsidiaries;

•

Financial performance of the Company;

•

General business and economic-financial conditions affecting the Company; and

•

Any other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

The Board of Directors may in its sole discretion declare and pay a dividend below 25%, if any of the aforementioned conditions are not met. Subject to the foregoing, it is expected that dividend payments are to be made once a year within 90 calendar days of the meeting held by the Board to approve the dividend declaration. No interim dividends are to be paid. This policy has been in force since 2016 and it will continue to be applicable until amended or rescinded by the Board of Directors. For further details about the risk associated with our ability to pay dividends, please refer to “ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION – 3.D Risk Factors – Our ability to pay dividends to shareholders and to pay corporate expenses may be adversely affected by the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us.”

Furthermore, the Board of Directors of the Company, in its session held on December 23, 2021 resolved that, subject to the provisions of Credicorp’s Dividend Policy, the Board expects that Credicorp will declare dividends, if any, in the month of April 2022 or thereafter once the Company’s subsidiaries have agreed the declaration and date of payment of any dividends in their respective shareholder and board meetings. This decision was made in accordance with Credicorp’s Dividend Policy.

Transactions during both the open trading and the electronic sessions are executed through brokerage firms and stockbrokers on behalf of their clients. Brokers submit their orders in strict accordance with written instructions, following the chronological order in which they were received. The orders specify the type of security ordered or offered as well as the amounts and price of the sale or purchase. In general, share prices are permitted to increase or decrease up to 15% for Peruvian companies, and up to 30% for foreign companies, within a single trading day.

At the beginning of 2020, the BVL General Index was falling after uncertainty with regards to COVID-19 around the world, and especially due to lower commodities prices, with copper falling from 280 cUS$/lb in the beginning of January 2020, to 212 cUS$/lb at the end of March 2020, when the first pandemic shock hit Peru, and forced to social and economic lockdowns due to COVID-19. The BVL General Index dropped to 13,539 points on April 3, 2020.

Since that point in time international copper prices started to recover up to 478 cUS$/lb at the beginning of November 2021. In this context, the BVL General Index started to recover from the April 2020 drop and increased until February 2021 to 23,200 points, an increase of 71%.

In February 2021, new lockdowns and measures were enacted by the government due to new variants of COVID-19 around the world, and in this context the BVL General Index began another decline, falling again to a low in August 2021 of 15,532 points, 33% below its recent high.

Since August 2021, economic recovery started, with the vaccination process advancing at decent pace in Peru. As a result of the return to some normality in the economy, the important level of vaccinations, the broader opening of the economy with respect to 2020, and high prices of copper, a recovery in the BVL General Index started to happen, helping 2021 to close at 21,112 points, an increase of 36% from the drop in August 2021.

However, and despite this recovery of the BVL General Index, it increased only 1% from year-end 2020 to year-end 2021 and 2.9% from year-end 2019 to year-end 2021. From year-end 2018 to year-end 2019, the BVL General Index increased 6%. As of, March 4, 2022, copper prices had hit a historical record of 492 USD/lb, and the BVL General Index had increased 21% since the end of 2019 and 18% since the end of 2021.

The total amount traded on the BVL was US$5.7 billion in 2021, US$5.8 billion in 2020 and US$5.5 billion in 2019. These figures are still far from the record level obtained in 2007, in which trading volume reached US$12.4 billion. The Peruvian stock market capitalization amounted to US$148.5 billion in 2021 compared to US$165.5 billion in 2020 and US$162.0 billion in 2019. The General Index of the Lima Stock Exchange (Índice General de la Bolsa de Valores de Lima or IGBVL by its Spanish initials) closed at 21,111.73 points at the close of the last trading day in 2021 (an increase of 1.39% compared to the close of the last trading day 2020).

(2) Market Regulation

The Securities Market Law (Legislative Decree No. 861) addresses matters such as transparency and disclosure, takeovers and corporate actions, capital market instruments and operations, the securities markets and broker-dealers, and risk rating agencies. The SMV, which is a governmental entity attached to the MEF, was given additional responsibilities relating to the supervision, regulation, and development of the securities market, while the BVL and its member firms were given the status of self-regulatory organizations. Additionally, a unified system of guarantees and capital requirements was established for the BVL and its member firms.

The SMV is governed by a five-member board, which includes an Independent Director and the Superintendent, both of whom are appointed by the government. SMV has broad regulatory powers, which include studying, promoting, and establishing rules for the securities market, supervising its participants, and approving the registration of public offerings of securities.

SMV supervises the securities markets and the dissemination of information to investors. It also (i) governs the operations of the Public Registry of Securities and Brokers, (ii) regulates mutual funds and their management companies, (iii) monitors compliance with accounting regulations by companies under its supervision as well as the accuracy of financial statements and (iv) registers and supervises auditors who provide accounting services to those companies under SMV’s supervision.

On August 22, 1995, the SMV approved regulations governing the public offering of securities in Peru by entities organized outside of Peru and, for the first time, authorized foreign companies to be listed on the BVL. On October 25, 1995, we became the first non-Peruvian company to list our shares on the BVL. For further details, see “ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY – 4.B Business Overview – (6) Supervision and Regulation – 6.2 Subsidiaries – 6.2.1 Peru”.

Pursuant to the Securities Market Law, the BVL must maintain a guarantee fund that is funded by its member firms. The actual contributions to be made by the 24 member firms of the BVL are based on volume traded over the exchange. In addition to the guarantee fund managed by the BVL, each member firm is required to maintain a guarantee for operations carried out outside the exchange in favor of SMV. Such guarantees are generally established through bank guarantees issued by local banks.

The office of Director shall be vacated if the Director: (i) is removed from office pursuant to Credicorp’s Bye-laws or is prohibited from being a Director by law; (ii) is or becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; (iii) is or becomes of unsound mind or dies; or (iv) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the Company. At any general meeting, the shareholders may authorize the Board to fill for the remainder of the Election Period any vacancy in their numbers left unfilled at the general meeting. Shareholders in general meeting or the Board shall have the power to appoint any person as a Director to fill a vacancy on the Board for the remainder of the Election Period occurring as a result of the death, disability, disqualification, or resignation of any Director.

A Director may not vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such Director is interested or in respect of which such Director has a conflict of interest.

Directors’ remuneration is determined by Credicorp’s shareholders in general meetings. Directors living outside Lima may also be paid all travel, hotel, and other expenses properly incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors, meetings of any committee appointed by the Board of Directors, general meetings of the Company, or any meetings in connection with the business of the Company or their duties as Directors generally.

Any Director, or any Director’s firm, partner, or any Company with whom any Director is associated, may act in a professional capacity for Credicorp, and such Director or such Director’s firm, partner or such Company may be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if such Director were not a Director, provided that a Director or Director’s firm, partner or such Company is not authorized to act as auditor of the Company.

The Board of Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled share capital, or any part thereof. The Board of Directors may also issue debentures, debenture stock, and other securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability, or obligation of the Company or any third party.

(3) Common Shares

Credicorp’s Bye-laws provide for its share capital to be a single class of common shares, with a par value of $5.00 per share, subject to any resolution of the shareholders to the contrary. To date, Credicorp has issued 94,382,317 common shares with a par value of US$5.00 per share, each fully paid.

Under Credicorp’s Bye-laws, any holder of Credicorp’s common shares is entitled to one vote per share, such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare, and the surplus assets of Credicorp in the event of winding-up or dissolution. Unclaimed dividends do not earn interest. Dividends unclaimed for three years after they are declared revert back to the Company, and shareholders do not have any rights to such dividends. For more information regarding Credicorp’s dividend policy and applicable Bermuda law, refer to “ITEM 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION – 8. A Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information (3) Dividend Policy”.

Subject to applicable law, in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a reorganization or otherwise, or upon any distribution of share capital, the holders of our common shares will be entitled to the surplus assets of the Company.

Credicorp can, from time to time, purchase its own shares in accordance with Section 42A of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. Section 42A of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda provides that a Company cannot purchase its shares if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. Shares purchased under Section 42A are treated as cancelled, and the amount of the Company’s issued capital, but not its authorized share capital, is diminished by the nominal value of the cancelled shares.

Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, shareholders may resolve in a general meeting to reduce paid-up share capital that is more than the Company’s requirements. Upon such a shareholder resolution reached in accordance with Credicorp’s Bye-laws, the Company must publish notice in a newspaper 15 to 30 days before the reduction in share capital is to become effective, stating (i) the amount of share capital as last determined by the Company; (ii) the amount by which the share capital is to be reduced; and (iii) the date on which the reduction will become effective. Then, the Company may proceed to reduce its share capital in any way, including by (a) extinguishing or reducing the liability on any of its shares in respect of capital not paid up; (b) with or without extinguishing or reducing liability on any of its shares, cancel any paid up capital that is lost or unrepresented by available assets; or (c) with or without extinguishing or reducing liability of any of its shares, and with or without reducing the number of such shares, pay off any paid-up capital that is in excess of the requirements of the Company. Subject to Credicorp’s Bye-laws, when share capital is to be reduced by cancellation of part of a class of shares, the shares to be cancelled must be selected (a) by lot, in such manner as the Directors determine; (b) as nearly as may be in proportion to the number of shares of the class registered in the name of each shareholder; or (c) in such other manner as the Directors, with the consent of the majority of shareholders of the share class to be cancelled, determine. When shares are to be cancelled to reduce the Company’s share capital, the shares shall be acquired at the lowest price at which the shares are obtainable, in the opinion of the Directors, but not exceeding an amount, if any, stated in the Bye-laws. Credicorp’s Bye-laws do not state any amount or price at which shares are to be cancelled when undertaking a share capital reduction of this kind. There are no conditions in our Memorandum of Association or Bye-laws governing changes in our share capital that are more stringent than those required under Bermuda law.

Content

The rights of Credicorp’s shareholders can be changed by amendment of Credicorp’s Bye-laws. Amendments, rescissions, or alterations to Credicorp’s Bye-laws generally require approval by a resolution of its Board of Directors and a resolution of the shareholders passed by a majority of the votes cast in accordance with the provisions of the Bye-laws. Amending Bye-laws 4.11 and 4.23 of Credicorp’s Bye-laws, regarding the number of Directors, tenure, election process and filling of vacancies, among other matters, requires affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the total issued voting shares of the Company. Bye-law amendments may be made at a general meeting or at a special meeting.

Credicorp’s annual general meeting is held each year to consider and adopt resolutions, to receive the report of the auditors and the consolidated financial statements for the last financial year, to elect Directors, to consider fees payable to Directors, to appoint auditors and to consider other matters properly brought before the meeting. At least fourteen days’ notice of an annual general meeting is given to each shareholder. Notice of an annual general meeting will state the date, place, and time at which the meeting is to be held, that the election of Directors will take place at the meeting, and as far as practicable, the other business to be conducted at the meeting. At least ten days’ notice of a special general meeting is given to each shareholder. Notice of a special general meeting will state the date, time, place, and the general nature of the business to be considered at the meeting. Subject to the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981 and Credicorp’s Bye-laws, any question proposed for the consideration of the shareholders at any general meeting will be decided by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast in accordance with the provisions of Credicorp’s Bye-laws. In the case of a tie, the resolution fails.

No limitations on the rights to own our securities, or on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on those securities, are imposed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda or by the Memorandum of Association, or Bye-laws of Credicorp.

There is no provision of the Company’s Memorandum of Association or Bye-laws that would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of the Company and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company (or any of its subsidiaries).

296

Content

There are no Bye-law provisions or provisions of Bermuda law governing the ownership threshold above which ownership of Credicorp shares must be disclosed. Under Peruvian law, any individual or legal entity who acquires, directly or indirectly, 1% or more of the share capital of a Company operating in the financial and insurance systems (or that is engaged in activities that are either associated with or complementary to the purpose of such companies) in a 12-month period, or who obtains a shareholder stake of 3% or more, must provide the SBS with the information that the SBS requests to identify the shareholder’s main economic activities and the structure of its assets. In addition, the acquisition of shares of a Company operating in the financial or insurance system exceeding 10% of the Company’s share capital (or resulting, when aggregated with previous holdings, in the holding of 10% of the Company’s share capital) by a single individual or entity, whether directly or indirectly, require prior authorization from the SBS. In order to acquire more than 10% of the share capital of a legal person domiciled in Peru that holds shares in the Financial Company, prior authorization from the SBS is required. If the Holding Company is a legal person that is not domiciled in Peru, such as Credicorp, the SBS must be informed if there is a modification in the composition of the Holding Company’s shareholders in proportions that exceed 10%, indicating the names of such shareholders.

Under Peruvian securities market regulation, any issuer with shares registered in a centralized exchange, such as Credicorp, must present to the SMV a list of its shareholders who hold more than 0.5% of its capital stock and update the list within the first 15 calendar days of the following month in which a change occurs. The issuer also must update the Securities Market Public Register with information on shareholders holding 4% or more of its share capital following any change.

Material Contracts

As of the date hereof, we have not, nor have our subsidiaries, entered into any material contracts in the immediately preceding two years other than those contracts entered into in the ordinary course of our business.

10. D

Exchange Controls

We rely almost exclusively on dividends from Grupo Credito, BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, ASHC, Grupo Pacifico, Credicorp Capital, and our other subsidiaries for the payment of dividends to holders of our common shares. To the extent that our subsidiaries are legally restricted from paying us dividends, our ability to pay dividends on our common shares will be adversely affected.

Although substantially all of the clients of BCP Stand-alone, ASB, and Grupo Pacifico are located in Peru, as of December 31, 2021, approximately 29.7% of BCP Stand-alone’s loan portfolio, 97.2% of ASB’s loan portfolio, and 53.4% of Grupo Pacifico’s written premiums were denominated in US Dollars (28.6%, 100.0% and 49.0%; and 35.4%, 99.9% and 43.9% in 2020 and 2019, respectively).

297

Content

Since March 1991, there have been no exchange rate controls in Peru, and all foreign exchange transactions are based on market exchange rates. The Peruvian Constitution establishes equal treatment between national and foreign investment in Article 63, and Legislative Decree No. 662 allow foreign holders of equity shares of Peruvian companies to receive and repatriate 100% of the cash dividends distributed by the Company. These investors are allowed to purchase foreign exchange at market exchange rates through any member of the Peruvian banking system.

One circumstance that could lead to depreciation is a decline in Peruvian foreign reserves to inadequate levels. Although the current level of Peru’s foreign reserves (US$78,495 million or 35% of GDP as of December 31, 2021) compares favorably with those of other Latin American countries, there can be no assurance that Peru will be able to maintain adequate foreign reserves to meet its foreign currency-denominated obligations or that Peru will not devalue its currency should its foreign reserves decline. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – 4.B Business Overview – (7) Peruvian Government and Economy”.

We have been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes under the Bermuda Exchange Control Act 1972 and associated regulations and are able to conduct our day-to-day operations free of Bermuda exchange control formalities. We are able to pay dividends, distribute capital, and open and maintain bank accounts in any foreign currency without reference to the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

Taxation

The disclosures in the following sections describe certain material implications to shareholders under the tax laws of Bermuda, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and the United States, but are not intended to provide legal advice to investors. Investors should consult with their own tax advisers in these and other jurisdictions. For details on income tax review by the Tax Authorities on the jurisdictions in which we operate, please refer to Note 19 (a) and (d) to the consolidated financial statements.

Credicorp’s dividends are paid without withholding tax at the source.

10.1 Bermuda regulation

As of the date of this report, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty, or inheritance tax that we must pay or that our shareholders must pay with respect to their shares. We have obtained assurance from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 that, in the event that any legislation is enacted in Bermuda imposing any tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax shall not, until March 31, 2035, be applicable to us or to any of our operations or to our shares, debentures, or other obligations. This assurance, however, does not cover any tax applicable to persons who ordinarily reside in Bermuda or to any taxes that we must pay with respect to real property that we own or lease in Bermuda.

298

Content

As an exempted company, we are liable to pay in Bermuda an annual government fee based on our authorized share capital and the premium on our issued common shares, which amounted to approximately US$18,670 (Bermuda annual government fee for 2017 and 2018.) However, with effect beginning in 2019, the annual government fee increased to $19,605.

10.2 Peruvian regulation

On February 15, 2011, the Peruvian government enacted Law No. 29663, which was subsequently amended on July 21, 2011, by Law No. 29757. This law partially modifies the country’s income tax regime by (i) subjecting to taxation in Peru capital gains derived from an indirect transfer of shares issued by a domiciled entity and (ii) introducing more types of income that will qualify as Peruvian source income. Under the law, an indirect transfer of shares issued by a domiciled entity occurs, and is subject to the Peruvian Income Tax (at a 0%, 5% or 30% rate) when the shares of a non-domiciled entity, which in turn owns (directly or indirectly through other entities) shares issued by a domiciled entity, are transferred, provided that both of the following conditions are met:

(1)

During the 12 months prior to the transfer, the fair market value (FMV) of the shares of the domiciled entity owned by the non-domiciled entity equals 50% or more of the FMV of the shares of the non-domiciled entity. There is a rebuttable presumption that this condition is met if the non-domiciled entity is a resident in a tax haven; and

(2)

During any given 12-month period, shares representing 10% or more of the non-domiciled entity’s share capital are transferred.

The Legislative Decree No. 1424 (published on September 13, 2018) established an additional rule according to which if the “total amount” of domiciled entity’s shares indirectly transferred is equal to or exceeds 40,000 Peruvian Tax Units (approximately US$52 million), an indirect transfer of Peruvian shares would always be deemed to be triggered, regardless of whether either of conditions (1) or (2) above are met. This new rule based on the sales price is in force as of January 1, 2019, jointly with the general rule referred above.

On April 21, 2020, Supreme Decree No. 085-2020-EF established for purposes of determining the FMV of the non-domiciled shares and the Peruvian entities, the following methods must be followed:

•

Higher listed value: In the case of shares listed on the Stock Exchange, the market value will be the highest listed value.

•

Discounted cash flow (DCF): In the case of shares that are not listed on the Stock Exchange, the market value will be the discounted cash flow value in case the entity evidences a predictable horizon of future cash flows or has elements such as licenses, authorizations or intangibles that allows the existence of such cash flows to be anticipated. If the Company has several business units, a projection must be made for each business unit.

299

Content

The DCF methodology of the Company will be applied if there is no expectation of debt linked to the economic activity or business unit of the Company; otherwise, the DCF methodology of the shareholder will apply.

For the development of the projection, the following will be considered:

(1)

The cash flow period should be at least 10 years. If the Company has a shorter duration, the balance of the duration will be considered.

(2)

If the Company’s cash flow is applied, the discount rate is the weighted average cost of capital, which must consider the opportunity cost of capital and the cost of debt. If the shareholder’s cash flow is applied, the opportunity cost of capital must be considered as the discount rate, which includes the minimum profitability expected by the shareholder at market value.

(3)

Continuity value, when the Company is expected to receive income for an unspecified period of time or the residual value, as applicable.

In case the domiciled entity directly or indirectly owns shares of another or other domiciled entities and/or non-domiciled entities, the market value of such shares must include the market value of these other companies.

For the determination of the discounted cash flow value to be credited, the taxpayer must have a technical report containing at least the following information: (i) an executive summary; (ii) an analysis of the sector in which the Company operates; (iii) an analysis of the Company; (iv) valuation; and (v) annexes that accredit the results obtained.

•

Equity Participation Value (EPV): If the methods described above are not complied with, the EPV is calculated on the basis of the last audited balance sheet of the issuing Company closed within 90 days prior to the disposal. This is applicable in the case of entities that are under the supervision of the SMV, or entities authorized to perform the same functions in other jurisdictions. If, within 90 days prior to the sale, a reduction in the share capital of the non-resident entity is made, the balance sheet of the non-resident entity will be the one corresponding before the reduction.

•	Residual Method: If the previous methods are not applicable, the EPV will be one of the following:

300

Content

The EPV shall be the result of dividing the equity value of the entity based on the last balance sheet closed within 90 days prior to the disposal, in accordance with the accounting standards officialized or approved by the competent body of the country, increased by the average monthly active market rate in local currency (TAMN), and by the number of shares issued, provided the following conditions are met:

•

The entity’s shares are not listed on a stock exchange or in any centralized trading mechanism, and;

•

The entity is not under the control and supervision of an entity that is entitled to perform the same functions as the SMV under its country of residence.

The EPV will be the appraised value established within the six months prior to the date of the transfer.

The tax rate will apply according to the following table:

Tax rate
Exempt (0%)	Income derived from the transfer of securities in the Lima Stock Exchange will be exempt from the Income Tax until December 31, 2022, as long as they have a stock market presence and; if in a period of 12 months, the tax-payer or its related parties, through a single or successive operation, do not transfer 10% or more of the total shares issued by the respective Company.
5%	If the aforementioned requirements are not met and the transfer of shares is realized through the BVL by a non-domiciled subject.
30%	If the transfer of shares is not realized through the BVL by a non-domiciled subject, even if the shares are listed in the Lima Stock Exchange.

In addition, the following obligations were imposed on domiciled entities that have “economic relationships” (defined below) with non-domiciled sellers:

•

Reporting to the SUNAT the direct or indirect transfer of its shares, and;

•

To the extent that shares of a domiciled company are being directly or indirectly transferred by a non-domiciled seller, the domiciled company is jointly liable for the income tax that is not paid by the non-domiciled seller when such seller and the Peruvian domiciled company are deemed to be economically related for Peruvian Income Tax purposes for any period of time, within 12 months prior to the transfer. However, the joint income tax liability does not apply when the purchaser or acquirer of the transferred shares is a domiciled individual or entity.

According to Supreme Decree No. 275-2013-EF, enacted on November 7, 2013, which defined the concept of “economic relationships”, a domiciled entity is considered to be economically related to a non-domiciled seller, if, in any given time within the 12-month period prior to the transfer, at least one of the following conditions is met:

The non-domiciled seller owns more than 10% of the equity of the domiciled entity, directly or through a third party;

10% or more of the equity of each of the domiciled entity and the non-domiciled seller is owned by common shareholders;

The domiciled entity and the non-domiciled seller have one or more common Directors, managers, or administrators, with authority over financial, operative, and commercial agreements;

301

Content

The domiciled entity and the non-domiciled seller prepare joint consolidated financial statements; or

The non-domiciled seller has a dominant influence on the decisions of the administrative areas of the domiciled entity, or vice-versa.

10.3 Chilean Regulation

The Chilean Statutory Income Tax rate to resident legal entities has been 27% under the semi-integrated regime 2018. Foreign individual or legal resident entities are subject to a 35% dividend withholding tax. This tax applies at the moment of the effective remittance of the dividend and the corporate income tax can be used as a credit. In case of non-treaty country resident shareholders, the corporate tax credit is limited to 65% of the corporate income tax associated to such dividend. Therefore, in this case, the total tax burden for foreign taxpayers, subject to a 35% tax rate, will be 44.45%. Nonetheless, the “65% limit” does not apply to those investors domiciled or resident in a country with which Chile has a Double Taxation Treaty in force. Additionally, a transitory rule provides that this benefit will also be applicable to those investors who are residents of countries with which Chile has a Double Taxation Treaty subscribed and pending ratification, to the extent that the treaty was signed prior to December 31, 2020. This transitory rule would be in effect until December 31, 2025. The Group is under the Income Tax semi-integrated system.

10.4 Colombian Regulation

The Colombian general corporate income tax rate was 31% in 2021 and is increasing to 35% in 2022. In addition, a temporary surtax will be applied only to financial institutions whose taxable income equal to or exceeds approximately US$1.3 million. Credicorp Capital Colombia, Credicorp Capital Fiduciaria, our Colombia Trustee Company and Mibanco Colombia, are subject to for this surtax. From 2018 through 2020, the surtax rate was 4%, and has decreased decreasing to 3% from 2021 until 2025. Therefore, the combined income tax rate for financial institutions in Colombia is 34% for 2021, 38% between 2022 and 2025, and 35% for 2026 onwards. Without prejudice of the provisions established in tax treaties, distribution of dividends to non-residents is subject to a 10% dividend tax. When the corresponding profits were not taxed at the level of the distributing company, the corporate income tax rate would be applied over the dividends (the percentage will depend on the year of distribution), and after that, the 10% dividend tax is applied. Foreign portfolio investment is also subject to the 10% withholding tax. However, in case of previously untaxed corporate profits, instead of applying the general income tax rate, a withholding tax of 25% will be assessed. Corporate profits earned up to December 31, 2016, are not subject to the 7.5% or 10% withholding tax on dividends, even though the distribution occurs from and after January 1, 2017. Finally, as of 2019, profits distributed to Colombian companies are also subject to the 7.5% tax, under similar conditions of non-resident investors, though some exceptions apply. In any case, the tax paid by the Colombian company over the dividends can be transferred to its foreign investors. Therefore, they are entitled to use it as a tax credit against its own tax when they receive dividends.

10.5 Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

This section describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares held by U.S. Shareholders (as defined below) that hold our common shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), applicable regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury promulgated thereunder (the Treasury Regulations), U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings and decisions, and judicial decisions thereon and existing interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date of this Annual Report. These authorities may be subject to different interpretations or changes, possibly with retroactive effect, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below.

We have not sought any ruling from the IRS in respect of the statements made and the conclusions reached in this discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions, or that the IRS will not challenge any of the positions taken by us and that such challenge, if any, will not be sustained. A different treatment from that described below could adversely affect the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares as set forth in this summary.

This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of such holder’s circumstances. In particular, this summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may apply to members of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

(1)

dealers in securities or currencies;

(2)

persons subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;

(3)

regulated investment companies;

(4)

real estate investment companies;

(5)

traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings;

(6)

tax-exempt organizations;

(7)

banks, insurance companies, or any other financial institution;

(8)

persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more, by vote or value, of our common shares;

(9)

persons that hold our common shares as part of a straddle or a hedging, conversion, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(10)

persons that purchase or sell common shares as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(11)

partnerships or other pass-through entities and investors therein; or

(12)

persons whose functional currency is not the US Dollar.

303

Content

If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of common shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in that partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners of a partnership holding common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

Prospective investors of our common shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and non-U.S. and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of the common shares in their particular circumstances.

This summary applies to U.S. Shareholders. As used in this section 10.5, a “U.S. Shareholder” means a beneficial owner of our common shares who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any of the following:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

•

a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

•

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

•

a trust if a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons (as defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations) are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

Taxation of Dividends

Subject to the discussion of the “passive foreign investment company” rules below, the gross amount of any distributions of cash or property with respect to our common shares generally will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will be treated first as a return of capital that is applied against and reduces the U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares, but not below zero, and thereafter as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common shares. Because we do not maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Shareholders as dividends. The amount of any distribution paid in a foreign currency will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such currency, translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date such distribution is received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars at that time.

304

Content

Any dividends that a U.S. Shareholder receives will be includable in such holder’s gross income as ordinary income on the day such holder actually or constructively receives them. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to certain corporate U.S. Shareholders. Dividends paid by us generally will be non-U.S. source income for purposes of the U.S. “foreign tax credit” rules. The rules governing U.S. foreign tax credits are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on the particular circumstances of each U.S. Shareholder. Therefore, each U.S. Shareholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor with respect to the availability of U.S. foreign tax credits in such U.S. Shareholder’s particular circumstances.

Subject to certain limitations, including certain limitations based on taxable income and filing status, and subject to certain minimum holding period requirements, dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. Shareholders, including individuals, may be eligible for a reduced rate of taxation if we are deemed to be a “qualified foreign corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A qualified foreign corporation includes a non-U.S. corporation if (1) its stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (2) it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States that meets certain requirements. However, a corporation is not a qualified foreign corporation if it is a “passive foreign investment company” (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. The common shares are traded on the NYSE, an established securities market. The United States does not have a comprehensive income tax treaty with Bermuda or Peru. Each U.S. Shareholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the treatment of dividends and such holder’s eligibility for a reduced rate of taxation.

Taxation of Capital Gains

Subject to the discussion of the “passive foreign investment company” rules below, a U.S. Shareholder generally will recognize gain or loss on the sale or exchange of common shares equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and the U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the common shares were held for more than one year. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Shareholder generally will be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Therefore, U.S. Shareholders may not be able to use any U.S. foreign tax credit arising from any Peruvian tax imposed on the sale or exchange of common shares unless the credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other non-U.S. source income. A U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares generally is equal to its purchase price for such shares, adjusted according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Shareholders generally will be subject to tax at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Each U.S. Shareholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the taxation of capital gains and deductibility of capital losses in light of their particular facts and circumstances.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC)

A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either:

305

Content

•

75% or more of its gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or

•

on a quarterly average for the taxable year by value (or by adjusted basis, if it is not a publicly traded corporation and it is a so-called controlled foreign corporation (as the definition of that term is modified under the PFIC rules) or it so elects), 50% or more of its assets produce or are held for the production of passive income.

For the purposes of this test, such non-U.S. corporation will be treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of the stock.

We have not determined whether we have previously been a PFIC for any year, or whether we are currently, or will be a PFIC in future years. Furthermore, because this determination is made on an annual basis, no assurance can be given that we will not be classified as a PFIC in future taxable years. If we are classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Shareholder that does not make an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” and did not make a “mark-to-market” election, each as described below, will be subject to the following U.S. federal income tax consequences:

“Excess distributions” we make to a U.S. Shareholder will be taxed in a special way. “Excess distributions” are amounts received by a U.S. Shareholder with respect to our common shares in any taxable year that exceed 125% of the average distributions received by the U.S. Shareholder from us in the shorter of either the three previous years or the U.S. Shareholder’s holding period for such common shares before the current taxable year. Excess distributions must be allocated ratably to each day that a U.S. Shareholder has held our common shares. A U.S. Shareholder must include amounts allocated to the current taxable year and to any non-PFIC years in his or her gross income as ordinary income for that year. A U.S. Shareholder must pay U.S. federal income tax on amounts allocated to each prior taxable PFIC year at the highest marginal tax rate in effect for that year on ordinary income and the tax is subject to an interest charge at the rate applicable to deficiencies for U.S. federal income tax.

The entire amount of gain that is realized by a U.S. Shareholder upon the sale or other disposition of our common shares will also be considered an excess distribution and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as described above.

A U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in shares that were acquired from a U.S. decedent would not receive a step-up to fair market value (FMV) as of the date of the decedent’s death but instead would be equal to the decedent’s adjusted tax basis, if lower than such value.

Content

The special PFIC rules do not apply to a U.S. Shareholder if the U.S. Shareholder makes an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” in the first taxable year in which the U.S. Shareholder owns our common shares and if we comply with certain reporting requirements. Instead, a shareholder of a qualified electing fund is required for each taxable year to include in income a pro rata share of the ordinary earnings of the qualified electing fund as ordinary income and a pro rata share of the net capital gain of the qualified electing fund as long-term capital gain, subject to a separate election to defer payment of taxes, which deferral is subject to an interest charge. The election generally is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Shareholder makes the election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621, which includes the PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return. Even if an election is not made, a U.S. Shareholder generally must file a completed IRS Form 8621 in each year that we are a PFIC. U.S. Shareholders should be aware that, for each taxable year, if any, that we are a PFIC, we can provide no assurances that we will satisfy the record keeping requirements of a PFIC, or that we will make available to U.S. Shareholders the information such U.S. Shareholders require to make a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to us.

A U.S. Shareholder who owns PFIC shares that are publicly traded could elect to mark the shares to market annually, recognizing as ordinary income or loss each year an amount equal to the difference as of the close of the taxable year between the FMV of the PFIC shares and the U.S. Shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the PFIC shares. If such a mark-to-market election is made, then the rules set forth above would not apply for periods covered by the election. Assuming that we are trading on the NYSE, our common shares are expected to be treated as publicly traded for purposes of the mark-to-market election and, therefore, such election should be able to be made if we are classified as a PFIC. A mark-to-market election is, however, subject to complex and specific rules and requirements, and U.S. Shareholders are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors concerning this election if we are classified as a PFIC.

U.S. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the adverse tax consequences of owning our common shares if we are, or become, a PFIC, and the possibility of making certain elections designed to lessen those adverse consequences.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income

A U.S. Shareholder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax (the “Medicare tax”) on the lesser of (i) such holder’s “net investment income” (or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (ii) the excess of such holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances and tax filing status). A U.S. Shareholder’s net investment income generally includes its dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of our common shares unless such dividends or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). A U.S. Shareholder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax in respect of its investment in our common shares.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year, or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year, may be required to file information reports with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax returns. Depending on your circumstances, higher threshold amounts may apply. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by non-U.S. financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in non-U.S. entities. Our common shares may be treated as specified foreign financial assets, and the holders of those shares may be subject to this information reporting regime. Failure to file information reports may subject holders to penalties. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their obligation to file information reports with respect to the common shares.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Dividends paid, if any, on our common shares to a U.S. Shareholder may be subject to information reporting and, unless a U.S. Shareholder either furnishes its taxpayer identification number or otherwise establishes an exemption, may also be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently at a rate of 24%). In addition, information reporting generally will apply to payments of proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of our common shares by a paying agent, including a broker, within the United States to a U.S. Shareholder. A paying agent within the United States will be required to impose backup withholding on any payments of the proceeds from the sale, exchange redemption or other disposition of the common shares within the United States to a U.S. Shareholder if such U.S. Shareholder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to establish an exemption or comply with such backup withholding requirements. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be refunded (or credited against the U.S. Shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any), provided that certain required information is furnished to the IRS. The information reporting requirements may apply regardless of whether withholding is required.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (commonly known as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA) impose, under certain circumstances, a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax on certain payments to certain non-U.S. financial institutions that fail to comply with certain information reporting, account identification, withholding, certification and other FATCA-related requirements in respect of their direct and indirect U.S. shareholders and/or U.S. accountholders. To avoid becoming subject to FATCA withholding, we may be required to report information to the Bermuda government or the IRS regarding our U.S. Shareholders. Each U.S. Shareholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor to obtain a more detailed explanation of FATCA and to learn how FATCA might affect that U.S. Shareholder in his, her or its particular circumstances.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT

The following section describes the risks to which Credicorp is exposed and the management tools used to measure and control these. As a result of its financial activities, including lending, borrowing, trading and investing, the Group faces risks which could incur in potential losses if adverse changes are presented.

The Group’s principal activity consists of receiving deposits from customers, mainly at fixed rates and for different periods, and invests these funds in high-quality assets, using financial instruments, such as derivatives, to cover from any risk factor and to take advantage of market movements on securities, bonds, currencies and interest rates. Additionally, it places these deposits with legal entities and individuals, considering the financial costs and expected profitability.

We also seek to raise margins by lending to commercial and retail customers with a range of financial products. Such exposures involve not only on-balance sheet loans and advances but also off-balance sheet facilities and other commitments, such as letters of credit and performance bonds.

Given the Group’s activities, it has a framework for risk appetite, a cornerstone of its risk management. The risk management processes involve continuous identification, measurement, treatment, and monitoring. The Group is exposed, principally, to Credit, Non-financial risks, Market, Liquidity, Model Risk and Insurance Technical.

11.1 Risk Management Governance

In order to carry out adequate risk management, Credicorp has established a government with different levels of hierarchies.

Governance Structure

310

Content

The highest level of hierarchy in risk governance in Credicorp Ltd and Grupo Credito is the Board of Directors:

•

Credicorp’s Board of Directors is responsible for the approval of the levels of risk appetite that Credicorp Ltd. is prepared to assume. The Board of Directors also acknowledges the Group’s level of compliance with the risk appetite and level of risk exposure, as well as the relevant improvements in the risk management approaches of the Group.

•

Grupo Credito’s Board of Directors is responsible for the overall risk management approach and the approval of the levels of risk appetite that Grupo Credito and subsidiaries are prepared to assume. Furthermore, it approves the guidelines and policies for comprehensive risk management. The Board also establishes an organizational culture that emphasizes the importance of risk management, oversees the internal control system and ensures compliance to the risk appetite.

•

The Board of Directors of each subsidiary is responsible for aligning the risk management approach established by Credicorp’s Board of Directors to fit their particular context. To that end, each Board establishes a framework for risk appetite, policies and guidelines.

The second level of hierarchy in risk governance in Credicorp Ltd and Grupo Credito is the Risk Committee:

•

The Credicorp Risk Committee, representing Credicorp’s Board of Directors, proposes risk appetite levels for Credicorp Ltd. Furthermore, it considers the level of compliance to the risk appetite and level of risk exposure, as well as the relevant improvements, when assessing the Group’s comprehensive risk management.

•

The Grupo Credito Risk Committee, representing Grupo Credito’s Board of Directors (including risk management of Credicorp subsidiaries), defines the strategies used for the adequate management of the different types of risks and the supervision of risk appetite. In addition, the committee establishes principles, policies and guidelines.

For more information about The Board of Directors, The Risk Committees and its functions, please refer to the following section: ITEM 6. DIRECTORS, SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYEES – 6.C Board Practices.

The Grupo Credito Risk Committee (including risk management of Credicorp subsidiaries) is supported by the following committees, which report periodically on all relevant changes or issues relating to the risks being managed:

Corporate Credit Risk Committees

The Corporate Credit Risk Committees (retail and wholesale) are responsible for reviewing the level of the credit risk appetite, limits of exposure and implementation of corrective measures in case of deviations. In addition, the committees propose credit risk management guidelines within the framework of governance and organization for the comprehensive management of credit risks. Furthermore, the committees propose the approval of any changes to the credit risk management functions and report important findings to the Risk Committee.

311

Content

Corporate Methodologic Operational Risk Committee

The Corporate Methodologic Operational Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring the operational risk indicators of each of the Group’s companies and the progress of the implementation of operational risk and business continuity methodologies. Additionally, the committees share best practices relevant to major challenges faced by the Group’s companies.

Corporate Treasury and ALM Risk Committee

The Corporate Treasury and Assets Liability Management (ALM) Risk Committee is responsible for analyzing and proposing objectives, guidelines and policies for the treasury and ALM risk management of the Group’s companies. Furthermore, the committee is responsible for monitoring the market risk indicators and appetite limits for Credicorp and each of the Group’s companies. Additionally, it receives reports regarding the actions to implement corrective measures in case of deviations regarding the levels of risk appetite and tolerance assumed by the Group’s companies. Furthermore, the committee is responsible for proposing the approval of any changes in the treasury and ALM risk management functions and for reporting any finding to the Risk Committee.

Corporate Model Risk Committee

The Corporate Model Risk Committee is responsible for analyzing and proposing corrective actions in case of deviations from the model risk appetite limits. Furthermore, the committee proposes the creation and/or modification of the model risk management governance structure. It also monitors the data and analytics strategy of the Group and the health status of its model portfolio. Additionally, it is responsible for informing the Risk Committee about exposures related to model risk, involving variations in the risk profile.

11.2 Risk Management Structure

In order to carry out the correct risk management, Credicorp maintains a management structure according to its needs and based on the risks to which it is exposed.

Credicorp Risk Management Structure

Chief Risk Officer (CRO)

The CRO is responsible for implementing policies, procedures, methodologies, and actions to identify, measure, monitor, mitigate, report and control the different types of risks to which the Group is exposed. It also participates in the creation of the strategic plans of the business units to ensure compliance to the risk appetite metrics approved by the Board of Directors. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of each unit’s role in defining and identifying actions regarding risk management.

Likewise, the CRO is responsible of the level of compliance with the risk appetite and the level of exposure assumed by Grupo Credito and Credicorp subsidiaries. Also, it reports the relevant improvements in the comprehensive risk management of Grupo Credito and Credicorp subsidiaries. In addition, it proposes to the Credicorp Risk Committee the risk appetite levels for Credicorp Ltd.

All issues regarding Credicorp’s corporate risk management are under the responsibility of Credicorp’s CRO, who also is Credicorp Ltd. and Grupo Credito’s CRO’s. To correctly fulfill this role, it was defined that those three positions should be held by the same person. Credicorp’s CRO reports to the CEO but has full independence regarding risk decisions, where these are discussed in Credicorp’s Risk Committee.

The Central Risk Management units with corporate risk functions are the following:

Wholesale Banking Risk Division – BCP Stand-alone competence

This Division is responsible for proposing credit policies and criteria for evaluating and managing credit risks assumed by lending to wholesale clients. It evaluates and approves loan proposals and suggests their approval to the higher instances for those that exceed its autonomy. These policies and criteria are established based on policies set by the Board of Directors and in accordance with the laws and regulations applicable. In addition, it measures the evolution of the risk faced by wholesale clients and identifies possible signs of deterioration in their payment capacity, taking actions to mitigate or resolve them.

313

Content

Retail Banking Risk Division – BCP Stand-alone competence

The Retail Banking Risk Division is responsible for managing the risk profile of the retail portfolio and promoting retail credit risk specific guidelines that are consistent with the overall guidelines and risk policies set by the Board of Directors. Additionally, it participates defining the products and campaigns aligned with these policies; as well as in the design, optimization and integration of credit assessment tools and income estimation for credit management.

Risk Management Division – Credicorp competence

The Risk Management Division is responsible for ensuring that risk management directives and policies comply with those established by the Board of Directors. In addition, it is responsible for supervising the process of risk management and coordinating with the Group’s companies involved in the process, promoting standard risk management aligned with best practices. It also has the task of informing the Board of Directors of global exposure to risks, by type of risk, as well as the specific exposure of each of the Group’s companies.

Non-Financial Risks Division – BCP Stand-alone competence

The Non-Financial Risks Division is responsible for defining a non-financial risks strategy aligned with the objectives and risk appetite set by the Board. This strategy seeks to strengthen the management process, generate synergies, optimize resources and achieve better results among the units responsible for managing non-financial risks. Additionally, in order to achieve its objectives, the Division promotes corporate risk culture, develops risk skills and tools, defines non-financial risk indicators and generates and keep track of strategic projects and initiatives.

The Non-Financial Risks Division is composed of the following areas: Operational Risk Management, Cybersecurity; and Corporate Security and Cyber Crime Management.

Corporate Risk Management Division

The corporate risk division scope is the risk management of the subsidiaries (not including BCP) and is responsible for managing day-to-day risk under the risk appetite framework approved by Senior Management; ensuring that corporate policies and guidelines are applied uniformly between the subsidiaries, propose strategic initiatives for better risk management, propose criteria and methodologies to facilitate the process of risk management and submit risk management reports to the Corporate CRO and the Corporate Risk Committees.

11.3 Risk Appetite

To manage the risks to which it is exposed, Credicorp uses different guidelines. This allows Credicorp to maintain adequate risk levels to generate value for the organization and investors.

314

Content

Risk Appetite

The Board of Directors annually approves the risk appetite framework defining the maximum level of risk that the organization is willing to tolerate, as it seeks to attain its strategic and financial objectives. In order to ensure consistency with the Group’s corporate risk vision, the Board of Directors, through the corporate Risk Committee, has the function of reviewing and approving the risk appetite of each subsidiary, considering its business model. This risk appetite framework is based on “core” and “specific” metrics:

•

Core metrics: are intended to preserve the organization’s strategic pillars, defined as solvency, liquidity, profit and growth, income stability, balance sheet structure and cybersecurity risk.

•

Specific metrics: are intended to monitor on a qualitative and quantitative basis the various risks to which every company of the Group is exposed, as well as defining a tolerance threshold of each of those risks, considering that the risk profile set by the Board of Directors is preserved and any risk concentration is anticipated on a more granular basis.

Risk appetite is measured based on the following guidelines:

(1)

A risk appetite statement establishes general principles and the qualitative declarations that complement the risk strategy.

(2)

A metric scorecard is used to define the levels of risk exposure in the different strategic pillars.

(3)

Risk limits allow control over the risk-taking process within the tolerance threshold established by the Board. Limits also provide accountability for the risk-taking process and define guidelines regarding the target risk profile.

(4)

A governance scheme seeks to guarantee compliance to the framework through different roles and responsibilities assigned to the units involved.

(5)

The risk appetite is integrated in the processes of strategic and capital guidelines, as well as in the definition of the budget exercise, facilitating the strategic decision-making process of the organization.

During 2020 and 2021, the uncertainty produced by the health and economic crisis marked the need to approve temporary modifications to the Group’s risk appetite approach, specifically in the management of non-compliance with some financial metrics. Our objective was to facilitate crisis management for the business and risk units. Additionally, protocols related to the monitoring and reporting of all indicators continued, while non-compliance management focused on operational risk, cybersecurity and business continuity.

11.4 Managed Risks

Credicorp’s governance and risk management seek to adequately manage the risks to which we are exposed as an organization.

a) Credit Risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk, which is the probability of suffering losses caused by debtors or counterparties failing to comply with payment obligations in on or off the balance sheet.

Credit risk is the most important risk affecting the Group’s business due to relevance of the Universal Banking and Microfinance LoB and its exposure to this type of risk; therefore, Management carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit risk exposures arise principally from lending activities that lead to direct loans, though they also result from investment activities. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as contingent credits (indirect loans), which expose Credicorp to risks similar to direct loans. Likewise, credit risk can also arise from derivative financial instruments as counterparty risk in those derivatives that currently show positive fair values.

Credit risk levels are defined based on risk exposure limits, which are frequently monitored. Risk exposure limits are established in relation to one borrower or group of borrowers, geography, and industry segments. Furthermore, the risk limits by product, industry sector and geographical area are approved by the Risk Committee.

316

Content

Credit Risk Measurement

All exposures to credit risk (direct or indirect) are mitigated by the Group’s control processes and policies. Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of debtors and potential debtors to meet interest and principal repayment obligations and changes in the credit limits as appropriate.

As part of managing credit risk, provisions for impairment of its portfolio are assigned as of the date of the statement of financial position.

Provisions for loan losses

In accordance with IFRS9 standard, all the financial assets classified or designated as an amortized cost, debt instruments classified as investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and indirect loans presented in off-balance accounts are subject to an impairment evaluation.

Measurement of expected credit losses

Measurement of expected credit losses is mainly based on three parameters: PD, LGD, and exposure at default (EAD), discounted at the reporting date using the effective interest rate. The estimates, pursuant to IFRS9 parameters, consider not only past due information, but also all relevant credit information, including actual conditions and expected macroeconomic effects in three scenarios (base, optimistic and pessimistic).

The definitions of the three parameters are as follows:

•

Probability of Default (PD): This is a measurement of credit ratings given internally to customers, designed to estimate their probability of default within a specific time period. This measurement is obtained through scoring and rating tools. The definition of default in IFRS9 is consistent with the one used for internal credit risk management purposes, as follows:

In the case of retail products, clients are in default if (i) at a specific moment, they are 60 or more days past due, except for mortgages, for which we allow 120 days; or (ii) if they have operations in one of the following situations: refinanced, restructured, pre-judicial, judicial or write off.

In wholesale banking, clients are in default if (i) they pass to Wholesale Collections; (ii) they have an internal classification of deficient with recurrence, doubtful or loss; (iii) they have operations in refinanced, restructured, pre-judicial, judicial or write off; or (iv) they have significant qualitative signs of impairment.

•

Loss Given Default (LGD): This is a measurement that estimates the severity of the loss that would be incurred at the time of the default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows owed and those that the lender would expect to receive, even after the liquidation of the guarantees (for example: deposits or the equivalent, commodity warrants, immovable properties, ships, machinery and equipment). LGD also considers all the costs incurred during the recovery process.

317

Content

It is important to mention that when the Group writes off a position, it adjusts the LGD to 100% to add the allowance necessary to reach the required level, in accordance with our internal policy of write-offs, in which Credicorp’s subsidiaries do not have reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

•

Exposure at Default (EAD): This is a measurement that estimates the exposure at the time that the customer goes into default, considering changes in future exposure, for example, in the case of prepayments and/or greater utilization of unused lines.

Provisions for credit losses are measured on each reporting date following a three-stage model of expected credit losses based on the degree of a financial asset’s credit impairment:

(1)

Stage 1: For financial assets with credit risk that has not increased significantly since their initial recognition, a reserve is recognized for losses equivalent to the credit losses expected to occur from defaults in the following 12 months. For those instruments with a maturity of less than 12 months, a probability of default corresponding to the remaining term until maturity is used.

(2)

Stage 2: For financial assets that have presented a significant increase in credit risk since their initial recognition, but are not considered impaired, a reserve is recognized for losses equivalent to the credit losses expected to occur during the remaining life of the asset.

The definition of “significant increase in credit risk” used on the reporting date compared with the origination date considers the following criteria:

•

Whether an account has been more than 30 days in arrears.

•

Risk thresholds have been established based on internal models and relative difference thresholds (by portfolio and risk level) in which the instrument originated. For example, less risky PD assets have a broad threshold to move in without migrating to stage 2, in comparison to risky PD assets for which a small increase in PD can force them to migrate to stage 2.

•

Whether follow-up systems, alerts and monitoring of risk portfolios are integrated, as established by the current risk policy in the Wholesale and Retail Banking segments.

•

Alignment criteria are applied to clients that have more than 20% of their position in stage 2. All the rest of their assets in stage 1 get automatically classified as stage 1.

(3)

Stage 3: For financial assets classified as defaults, with objective evidence of impairment on the reporting date, a provision for these assets reflects the expected credit losses during the residual life of the assets. Alignment criteria are also applied at this stage.

318

Content

The fundamental difference in the measurement of expected losses between stage 1 and stage 2 is the PD horizon. The estimates for stage 1 use a 12-month time period, while the estimates for stage 2 use an expected loss calculated based on the remaining term of the asset and considers the effect of the significant increase in credit risk. Finally, estimates for stage 3 are based on the best estimate, according to the collection process of each asset.

For portfolios that are not material, the Group extrapolates the expected credit loss ratio of portfolios with comparable characteristics.

During 2021, the main methodological calibrations made in the group’s internal credit risk models were as follows:

•

PD models: we evaluated if the adjustments implemented during the first wave of COVID-19 and the measurement of credit risk given the subsequent aids implemented by the Government and the Group were still appropriate; particularly in a context where those aids had already expired (or were never given) and we had observed enough payment behavior.

Therefore, we began again to use actual customer payment records to measure credit risk in some segments. First, in Consumer loans, and then in the Mortgage and SME segments, also considering the additional political uncertainty. BCP Stand-alone ended 2021 with models in which more than 90% of the retail portfolio and around two thirds of the SME portfolio (without considering Reactiva Perú loans) is calibrated using historical default rates.

•

LGD models: we evaluated whether the assumptions implemented during 2020 were still adequate. In this sense, given that the payment behavior was better than expected, we adjusted the roll rates in all segments; but we kept the assumptions on the evolution of real estate prices in the future, because we expect a less dynamic macroeconomic environment in the coming years.

•

The macroeconomic projections were updated as will be explained in the following paragraphs.

The Group’s expected credit losses are a weighted estimate of three macroeconomic scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic; which are based on macroeconomic projections provided by the internal team of economic research and approved by senior management. In each scenario, the Group considers a wide variety of prospective information as economic inputs, including the growth of the GDP, the inflation rate and the exchange rate.

The macroeconomic scenarios consider the fact that Peru is a small and open economy, dependent on the international environment; with about 60% of GDP growth volatility explained by external factors. These external factors include Peru’s terms of trade, growth of Peru’s main trade partners, and external interest rates. Information on each of these factors is collected to project each scenario for the next three years.

The aforementioned variables are then incorporated into economic models for the Peruvian economy along with local variables (fiscal and monetary). Two types of models can be distinguished: (i) the structural forecasting model, and (ii) the financial programming model. The first is a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium model constructed with expectations. The second is constructed based on the main identities of national accounts according to the financial programming methodology designed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and a set of econometric models.

Through this process, Credicorp obtains figures for GDP growth, inflation, exchange rate and other variables for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.

We estimate Peru’s real GDP to have rebounded approximately 13% in 2021 (after a real decline in 2020 of 11%). The economy in 2021 has shown a greater than expected resilience amid the recovery of our main trading partners, increase of the terms of trade (its highest level in almost 50 years), combined with expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, as well as withdrawals of Pension Funds and Work Compensation Funds (CTS), allowing real GDP to growing approximately 1% compared to its 2019 level.

We estimate that Peruvian real GDP will grow approximately 2.5% in 2022 (2.0% in the previous estimation: from September 2021) and 1.7% in 2023 (same to the previous estimation) given the greater resilience and higher inertial growth of the Peruvian economy in 2021:

•

If the seasonally adjusted level achieved in the third quarter of 2021 is held constant throughout 2022, real GDP would grow by approximately 1.0% in the year 2022. On the other hand, if the seasonally adjusted level reached in the second quarter of 2021 is kept constant throughout 2022, GDP would remain flat, growing approximately 0.0% in the year 2022. In other words, the inertial growth already observed between in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of the same year would contribute 1.0% to 2022 real GDP growth, largely explaining our upward revision.

•

We believe that private investment will fall by approximately 2.5% in the year 2022 (which is less of a decline than our forecast of approximately 7.0% from a few months ago

•

We expect that the start-up of new copper mining projects such as Quellaveco, Mina Justa and the Toromocho expansion, will contribute to the growth of GDP during the second half of 2022. Compared to September 2021, the global context for the year 2022 looks more challenging, not only because of the new COVID-19 variants, but also because of the expectation of a FED policy rate hike starting in the middle of 2022 (rather than in 2023 as generally expected in late 2021). Even so, we expect that Peru will continue to benefit from a favorable average copper price.

•

Domestically, political uncertainty is expected to remain high in 2022, but with lower risks of total changes in the economic regime or the Constituent Assembly. We also expect a gradual withdrawal (although more accelerated than expected three months ago) of the BCRP’s broadly expansionary monetary policy. In addition, we expect that consumers will face cumulative inflation of almost 10.0% between 2021 and 2022 and that private consumption will grow approximately 3.0%, a similar rate to 2019.

For 2021, probabilities of 60.0%, 30.0% and 10.0% were considered for the base, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios respectively. As a result, we estimated our provision based on an expected value of the three GDP projections, that gave us a rebound of 13% for 2021.

Content

The probabilities assigned to each scenario and projection year are validated by fan chart analysis, which uses a probability function to identify and analyze:

•

The central tendency of the projections.

•

The dispersion that is expected around this value.

•

The values that are higher or lower the central value that are more or less probable.

The following table provides a comparison of the reported expected credit loss for Credicorp’s loan portfolio and the expected credit loss under the three scenarios:

At December 31,2021	Optimistic Scenario	Base Case Scenario	Pessimistic Scenario	Reported ECL under IFRS9
(in thousands of Soles)
Total Loans	9,014,409	9,078,873	9,173,730	9,071,011

For further information about the IFRS9 measurement of the expected credit loss, see Note 3(i) to the consolidated financial statements.

ESG Risks Management

Credicorp manages ESG aspects by focusing on the incorporation of factors to mitigate risks, preserve value and generate it in the financing and in the investments of its portfolios. Below are the achievements related to ESG from the different fronts:

From the Financing front, there is a list of excluded activities and two policies for ESG risk management: The Environmental Credit Risk Policy and the Social and Environmental Credit Risk Policy for Project financing.

Both policies have a scope defined by a threshold in monetary terms and use questionnaires as a methodology to collect and process customer information. On one hand, the Environmental Credit Risk Policy focuses only on an evaluation of the economic sectors of Mining, Hydrocarbons, Electricity and Fishing with an annual periodicity in accordance with the client’s regular evaluation; while the Social and Environmental Credit Risk Policy for Project financing covers all sectors, in accordance with the regulation and the guidelines of the Equator IV Principles, and the application of the questionnaire is for each project.

321

Content

In the Environmental Credit Risk Policy, for clients with high risk, an action plan must be defined to mitigate the risk and a periodic follow-up of the same is carried out.

In the Social and Environmental Credit Risk for Project financing, for clients with high risk, reports are requested from an independent third party that validates the analysis and serves for the client to present an action plan and corrective measures.

On the Investment front, the strategy used in the subsidiaries Credicorp Capital, Prima AFP and Pacifico Seguros is transversal in the following aspects:

•

Exclusions and Controversies are considered where investing in sectors not consistent with the responsible investment approach is avoided.

•

The strategy of Integration of ESG risk factors is used in the analysis of investment assets based on external ratings.

Risk improvement project

At the beginning of 2021, a corporate scope project was structured, with the involvement of senior management to strengthen ESG risk management in the short, medium and long term with the best practices in the industry.

It has been considered to start the project considering the credit risk in the portfolios of wholesale banking companies in BCP and BCP Bolivia, and investments of the companies Credicorp Capital, Pacífico Seguros, Prima AFP and the BCP Treasury, leaving the rest of the portfolios for a next stage.

During the year, the aspiration was defined for each component of our management framework: Taxonomy, Appetite, Organization and Government, Identification, Evaluation and Treatment, Monitoring and Reporting.

Regarding the front of Financing, during 2021 the following advances were presented:

•

An initial version of the ESG sector taxonomy for financing focused on the environmental axis. This includes eligibility criteria aligned to international standards and their impact on the Sustainable Development Goals.

•

Updating a list of activities excluded for financing.

•

The updating of the ESG risk taxonomy and its prioritization based on the impact on the credit portfolio and in the most relevant sectors.

On the investment front, work plans were established for each subsidiary, seeking to achieve corporate alignment.

322

Content

In 2021, a common provider of ESG Rating was defined to be integrated into the evaluation process, in addition an active role is being consolidated to have a close relationship with the companies in which it is invested and at the same time the use of a strategy that seeks to invest in specific industries to contribute with relevant aspects in the ESG axes.

Finally, an improvement is being made in the process of exclusions supported by an ESG rating tool that will allow us to map this issue in greater depth to strengthen the selection of assets to invest.

b) Non-Financial Risk

The Non-Financial Risks Division is composed of the following areas: Cybersecurity Management, Corporate Security and Cyber Crime Management and Operational Risk Management.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the possibility of the occurrence of losses arising from inadequate processes, human error, failure of IT, relations with third parties or external events. Operational risks are tied to internal fraud, external fraud; labor relations; job security; relations with customers, business products and practices; damages to material assets; business and systems interruption; and failures in process execution, delivery, and management of processes. Operational risks exclude strategic and reputational risks (with the exception of companies under Colombian regulations, under which reputational risk is included in operational risk). Operational risks can lead to financial losses and have legal or regulatory consequences.

In order to develop an efficient risk culture, the Group records operational risks and their respective process controls. The Risk Map, which is a document that lists all the risks that could affect the organization and their characteristics, permits their monitoring, prioritization and proposed treatment. The Group also carries out an active cybersecurity and fraud prevention management program, which is aligned with the best international practices.

Moreover, the business continuity management system enables the establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving of business continuity based on best practices and regulatory requirements. The Group implements recovery strategies for the resources that support important products and services, which are periodically tested to measure the effectiveness of such strategies. Information security management is carried out through a systematic process, which is documented and known by the entire organization, pursuant to best practices and regulatory requirements. The Group designs and develops the guidelines described in the policies and procedures to have strategies for the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of the information of assets of the organization. To manage operational risk, cybersecurity, fraud prevention and business continuity, corporate guidelines are used, and methodologies and best practices are shared among the Group’s companies.

323

Content

Finally, in the event of the materialization of operational risks, the Group maintains a diverse portfolio with non-financial risk transfer options, mainly through its contracted insurance policies. These policies cover losses arising from fraud, civil and professional liability, cyber risks, damage to physical assets, among other things. The coverage needs of key areas and new emerging risks are constantly being analyzed, leading to modifications to the existing policies and the incorporation of new insurances, taking into account the Group’s risk appetite and the expected and unexpected levels of our losses. This practice allows us to optimize the Group’s insured risk profile.

Cybersecurity

Credicorp focuses on the most efficient strategies to reduce exposure to cybersecurity risk and, thereby, meet the Group’s risk appetite. Credicorp applies different levels of controls to the different exposed areas and companies. To this end, it maintains an investment program, which allows it to have the technologies and processes necessary to keep the Group’s operations and assets safe.

As part of cybersecurity management, the Group has lines of action to mitigate risks, as well as implementation priorities and improvements that take into account the different realities of the companies. These lines of action include:

•

The maturity of cybersecurity according to FFIEC, allow for adjustments to cybersecurity controls for each of the Group’s companies.

•

Strategies, policies, and guidelines standardizing the levels of compliance with cybersecurity controls in each of the Group’s companies.

•

An awareness program, including constant training that generates a culture of cybersecurity consciousness in all the Group’s companies.

•

Cybersecurity indicators that show the effectiveness of the processes through periodic evaluations carried out in each of the Group’s companies.

•

Governance of suppliers, which ensures the deployment of the Group’s policies to third parties.

•

The implementation of security technologies, which seeks to cover risks according to the threat trend and the risk profile of each company in the Group.

•

Tabletop tests and breach simulations that help to identify and fix gaps in the incident response protocols, as well as train the incident response Group’s teams.

•

Data Privacy Strategy, including several layers of data protection, according to the stages of the data lifecycle, deployment of a data loss prevention program and improvement of data recovery capabilities.

324

Content

•

Software life cycle assurance strategy and deployment of security practices and controls to improve and monitor compliance of cybersecurity policies, as well as a threat modeling process through the acquisition and deployment of a specialized platform for this purpose.

•

Identity and Access Assurance, to manage and protect digital identities and ensure the management of authentication and authorization access of users and devices to the organization’s resources.

•

Assurance of our remote connections with third parties and optimization of security controls for network access for employees in home office

•

Part of the continuous improvement in risk management is to identify opportunities for improvement. For this purpose, the cybersecurity risk taxonomy was deployed, so that technical language can be expressed in business terms and be understandable at all levels. In addition, BCP implemented the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) methodology to quantify and prioritize cybersecurity risks, which will also be implemented in other companies of the Group during 2022.

Corporate Security and Cybernetic Crime

The Group implements policies, procedures and actions that safeguard employees, customers and assets of the organization. In addition, it protects the institution against incidents of fraud, security and reputational risk. It also fosters a culture of prevention, allowing it to minimize the risks of fraud and security. Finally, it has established a solid relationship with stakeholders and Financial Institutions in the region.

Management has in place an integral security scheme called MISB for Credicorp (Comprehensive Banking Security Model), which includes variables for prevention, detection, response and recovery. The MISB has six strategic axes: training for internal and external clients, fraud and security risk assessments, business support through early alerts, continuous monitoring and reporting, specialized forensic investigation, and cyber-intelligence. In addition, Management has a second line of defense focused on generating a comprehensive vision of fraud and security risks. This includes state-of-the-art technological tools, as well as advanced analysis models for risk profiling for the detection of internal fraud and tools to detect anomalous behaviors.

This model and strategy are shared with different banks that belong to the Peruvian Banking Association to establish synergies and a robust control scheme at the financial institution level.

c) Market and Liquidity Risk

Market Risk

The Group is exposed to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rates, currency, commodities and equity products; all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. Due to the nature of the Group’s current activities, commodity price risk has not been approved; thus, this type of instrument is not traded.

325

Content

1. Market Risk Measurements

The Group separates exposures to market risk into two groups: (i) risks arising from value fluctuation of trading portfolios recognized at fair value through profit or loss, due to movements of market rates or prices (Trading Book) and (ii) risks arising from changes in the structural positions of non-trading portfolios, due to movements of the interest rates, prices and foreign exchange ratios (Banking Book). Most of the structural portfolios are recorded at amortized cost and at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income.

The risks that trading portfolios (Trading book) face are managed through Value at Risk (VaR) historical simulation techniques; while non-trading portfolios (Banking Book) are monitored using rate sensitivity metrics, which are a part of ALM.

Trading Book

The trading book is characterized by liquid positions in stocks, bonds, foreign currencies and derivatives, arising from transactions in which the Group acts as counterparty with the customers or with the market. This portfolio includes investments and derivatives classified by Management as held for trading.

Value at Risk (VaR)

Based on a number of assumptions about changes in market conditions, we apply VaR to our trading portfolios to estimate the market risk of our positions and our maximum losses.

Daily calculation of VaR is a statistically-based estimate of the potential loss on our current portfolio caused by adverse market movements.

VaR expresses the “maximum” amount the Group might lose, but only to a certain level of confidence (99%). There is therefore a specified statistical probability (1%) that actual loss could be greater than the VaR estimate.

The time period used to calculate VaR is one day. However, because the VaR model assumes a ten-day “holding period” within which positions can be closed, the one-day VaR is amplified to a ten-day time frame and calculated by multiplying the one-day VaR by the square root of 10. This adjustment is exact only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution identical and independent; otherwise, the 10-day VaR is an approximation.

326

Content

VaR limits and assumptions are set based on the risk appetite and trading strategy of each subsidiary. The assessment of past movements is based on historical one-year data and 146 market risk factors, which are comprised as follows: 35 market curves, 94 stock prices, 13 mutual funds values and 4 volatility series. The Group applies these historical changes into rates to its current positions (a method known as historical simulation). Management believes that the market risk factors incorporated into its VaR model are adequate to measure the market risk to which the Group’s trading book is exposed.

The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements. Losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average under normal market conditions, not more than once every hundred days. VaR limits have been established to control and keep track of our risks taken. These risks arise from the size of our positions and/or the volatility of the risk factors embedded in each financial instrument. Regular reports are prepared for the Treasury and ALM Risk Committee, our risk management committees and our senior officers.

VaR results are used to generate economic capital estimates by market risk, which are periodically monitored and are part of the overall risk appetite of each subsidiary. Furthermore, Credicorp has internal appetite risk limits for the trading book which are monitored and reported to the Credicorp Treasury and ALM Risk Committee. In VaR calculations, the foreign exchange effect is not included and as such the calculation is measured assuming a constant exchange rate. For further information, see “ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT – (13) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk”.

During 2021, the Credicorp’s VaR decreased by lower Interest rate risk due to lower volatility in interest rates compared to 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we decreased the Fixed Income position, mainly in Peruvian and Colombian bonds. The VaR remains contained within the limits of the risk appetite established by the Group’s Risk Management and its subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, our VaR by risk type were as follows:

	2019			2020			2021
	in thousands of Soles
Interest rate risk		9,274			163,981			35,721
Price risk		7,809			6,529			4,637
Volatility risk ⁽¹⁾		463			708			2,662
Diversification effect		(6,245	)		(857	)		(4,916	)
Consolidated VaR by risk type ⁽²⁾		11,301			170,361			38,104

(1)	Volatility risk

(2)	Amplified to the holding period, adjusted by a 10-days period of liquidation.

In VaR calculation, financial instruments from the trading book were taken.

On the other hand, the instruments recorded as fair values through profit or loss, which are not part of the selling business model are considered as part of the sensitivity analysis of rates and market prices in the next section (11.11). See the chart of sensitivity of earnings at risk, net economic value and price sensitivity.

327

Content

The information disclosed in these charts addresses the VaR calculation for the entire consolidated Group. However, minimum, maximum and average VaR calculations are estimated only for BCP Stand-alone’s trading book. The reason for this is that, although there is a daily VaR calculation for all subsidiaries with trading book positions, the entire Group is consolidated once a month in order to calculate a VaR for reporting purposes and to monitor the economic capital limit. Therefore, since there is not a sufficient sample for the Group, minimum, maximum and average VaR are calculated only for the BCP Stand-alone subsidiary. Nonetheless, the Company believes it is relevant information considering that BCP Stand-alone’s trading risk is very close to the total trading risk of the Group’s portfolio.

For the years ending on December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the BCP Stand-alone’s VaR statistics were as follows:

	2019		2020		2021
	in thousands of Soles
Average daily		7,007		36,949		22,839
Highest		18,556		114,593		46,435
Lowest		1,727		1,659		12,045

Backtesting

Backtesting is performed on the trading book to verify the predictive power of the VaR calculations. Backtesting compares results of the positions considered for the calculation of VaR and the calculation of the VaR from the previous day. Backtesting exceptions occur when real losses exceed the estimated VaR for the previous day. In order for a backtesting analysis to be considered valid, it should be based on a minimum of 252 observations. Every month, backtesting exceptions are analyzed and reports are prepared to explain the results. These reports are presented to the Treasury and ALM Risk Committee and our Senior Officers. Backtesting is estimated only for BCP Stand-alone’s trading book, since it should be based on a minimum of 252 observations and the Group’s VaR is consolidated only once a month for reporting purposes and to monitor the Group’s economic capital limit.

VaR Backtesting – VaR (1-Day, 99% in millions of Soles) – 2021:

328

Content

The backtesting analysis uses the Kupiec statistic test to determine if the number of exceptions is statistically different from the one expected by the VaR confidence level. Since the test uses the last 252 observations and a 99% VaR confidence level, the model will indicate an underestimation of the probability of large losses from the sixth exception, unless a fitting factor is applied to the VaR to correct the model underestimation.

During 2021, BCP Stand-alone recorded two backtesting exceptions, in which actual daily losses exceeded daily VaR. According to the selected test, we believe that the VaR model is statistically correct. The exceptions were due to an increase in market volatility in the Peruvian market curves for the Fixed Income and FX Forward portfolios.

Stress test

A stress test is used to calculate the maximum loss that the Group incurs in light of daily shocks to the market risk factors from March 18, 2008 until the effective date of the stress test. The maximum loss is considered the outcome for the stress test.

The methodology for the stress test assumes a certain “holding period” until positions can be closed (1 - 10 days). The time period used to calculate the losses is one day; however, the final figures are amplified to a 10-day time period and the final calculation is determined by multiplying the one-day losses times by the square root of 10. This adjustment will be exact only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days follow a normal distribution that is identical and independent; otherwise, the worst loss of the ten-day period will be an approximation.

329

Content

The results of our stress test as of December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021, by risk type, were as follows:

	2019			2020			2021
	in thousands of Soles
Interest rate risk		70,199			163,008			143,047
Price risk		25,172			56,743			28,964
Volatility risk ⁽¹⁾		1,119			2,157			5,356
Diversification effect		(33,713	)		(87,420	)		(36,829	)
Consolidated VaR by risk type		62,777			134,489			140,538

(1)	Volatility risk is the potential loss that result from fluctuations in option implied volatilities

Given the possibility of any scenario of local or international uncertainty, continuous evaluations of stress test scenarios were carried out in order to anticipate potential losses for the Group and generate action plans to mitigate losses. Additionally, we reviewed the current models and methodologies was carried out to ensure that volatility was included in the market risk indicators and valuations of the instruments.

11.11 Banking Book

The management of risks associated with long-term and structural positions is called ALM. Non-trading portfolios, which comprise the banking book, are exposed to different sensitivities that can deteriorate the value of the Group’s assets relative to its liabilities and hence can reduce the Group’s net worth. Management of the Banking Book includes management of interest rates and the analysis of the repricing GAP.

Interest Rate Risk

The ALM-related interest rate risk arises from eventual changes in interest rates that may adversely affect the expected gains (risk gains) or market value of financial assets and liabilities reported on the statement of financial position (net economic value). The Group assumes the exposure to the interest rate risk that may affect their fair value as well as the cash flow risk of future assets and liabilities.

The Risk Committee sets the guidelines regarding the level of unmatched repricing of interest rates that can be tolerated, which is periodically monthly monitored by our ALCO.

Corporate policies include guidelines for the management of the Group’s exposure to the interest rate risk. These guidelines are implemented considering the features of each segment of business in which the Group entities operate.

In this regard, Group companies that are exposed to the interest rate risk are those in which earnings are based on interest, such as credits, investments and technical reserves. Interest rate risk management at BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, ASB, Grupo Pacifico and Mibanco Colombia is carried out by performing a repricing gap analysis, sensitivity analysis of the financial margin (EAR) and sensitivity analysis of the net economic value (EVE). These calculations consider different rate shocks in stress scenarios.

Repricing Gap- Analysis

Repricing gap analysis identifies the term structure of interest rate mismatches within the Group’s balance and out of balance assets and liabilities. Different time bucket schemes may be used in the report. Through this analysis, Management can identify the time period in which interest rate variations may have potential impacts.

The tables below provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to interest rates, including deposits, bonds and other obligations, and summarize our exposure to interest rate risks as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. It includes the Group’s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized into columns based on the earlier of their contractual repricing date and maturity/call date. The products are distributed according to their contractual behavior or distribution assumptions (for those without contractual maturity). In addition, some credit products prepayment assumptions are considered.

Investments and derivatives classified by our management as held for trading are not considered in our repricing gap analysis, because these instruments are included in the trading book. Instead of repricing gap analysis, we use VaR methodology to assess risk arising from these instruments. Other assets and other liabilities include only financial accounts.

The COVID-19 outbreak implied changes in customer behavior patterns and government programs that represented a high level of uncertainty and risk for the Group’s balance sheet structure and its consequent exposure to interest rate risk in the banking book. To effectively deal with this environment, efforts were focused on analyzing government stimulus packages, the creation of financial relief products for clients, the evolution in the composition of assets and liabilities both in volume and in characteristics, collecting all these aspects in key risk metrics and analytical reports to ensure a level of exposure to interest rate risks consistent with the Group’s risk appetite level.

Sensitivity to Changes in Interest Rates

The sensitivity analysis of a reasonable possible change in interest rates on the ALM book comprises an assessment of the sensibility of the financial margin, which seeks to measure the potential changes in interest accruals over a period of time due to the expected parallel movement of the interest rate curves, as well as the sensitivity of the net economic value, which is a long-term metric measured as the difference between the economic value of net assets and liabilities before and after a variation in interest rates.

The sensitivity of the financial margin is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net interest income before income tax for one year and is based on non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held at December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, including the effect of derivatives instruments. The sensitivity of net economic value is calculated by reassessing the financial assets and liabilities that comprise the banking book, including the effect of any associated hedge and derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. In managing interest rate risk, no distinction is made by accounting category of the investments comprising the banking book, including instruments classified as fair value through other comprehensive income and amortized cost investments.

The interest rate sensitivities set out in the tables above are illustrative only and are based on simplified scenarios. These figures represent the effect of the preform movements in the net interest income based on the projected yield curve scenarios and the Group’s current interest rate risk profile. This effect, however, does not incorporate actions that would be taken by Management to mitigate the impact of this interest rate risk. In addition, the Group proactively seeks to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The projections above 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.

As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, investments in equity securities and funds that are non-trading, recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss, respectively, are not considered as comprising investment securities for interest rate sensitivity calculation purposes; however, 10%, 25% and 30% changes in market prices are conducted to these price-sensitivity securities.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Group is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, which impact net open monetary positions and equity positions in a different currency than the group’s functional currency.

The group’s monetary position is made up of the net open position of monetary assets, monetary liabilities and off-balance sheet items expressed in foreign currency for which the entity itself assumes the risk; as well as the equity position generated by the investment in the group’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from soles. In the first case, any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign currency would affect the consolidated income statement, on the contrary, in the case of the equity position, any appreciation/depreciation of the foreign currency will be recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Group manages foreign currency exchange risk, which affects the income statement, by monitoring and controlling currency positions exposed to movements in exchange rates. The market risk units of each subsidiary establish limits for said positions, which are approved by their own committees, and monitor and follow up the limits considering their foreign exchange trading positions, their most structural foreign exchange positions, as well as their sensitivities.

Additionally, there is a monetary position limit at the Credicorp level, which is monitored and reported to the Group’s Risk Committee.

On the other hand, the Group manages foreign currency exchange risk whose fluctuation is recognized in other comprehensive income, monitoring and controlling equity positions and their sensitivities, which are reported to the Group’s Risk Committee.

Net foreign exchange gains/losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income are disclosed in the following items:

•

Net gain on foreign exchange transactions

•

Net gain on speculative derivatives

•

Net gain from exchange difference

Transactions in foreign currency are made at free market exchange rates of the countries where Credicorp’s subsidiaries are established. As of December 31, 2019, 2020, and 2021, the net open monetary position with effect on results and the equity position of the group was as follows:

The following tables show the sensitivity analysis of the main currencies to which the Group is exposed and which affect the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The analysis determines the effect of a reasonably possible variation of the exchange rate against the sun for each of the currencies independently, considering all other variables constant. A negative amount shows a potential net reduction in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income, while a positive amount reflects a potential increase.

The following is a sensitivity analysis of the foreign exchange position with an effect on consolidated results, with the US dollar as the main currency of exposure. This analysis is shown as of December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021:

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its short-term payment obligations associated with its financial liabilities when they fall due and to replace funds when they are withdrawn. In this sense, the company that is facing a liquidity crisis would be failing to comply with the obligations to pay depositors and with commitments to lend or satisfy other operational cash needs.

d) Model Risk

Model risk is defined as the probability of loss resulting from decisions (credit, market, among others) based on the use of poorly designed and/or poorly implemented models. The main sources that generate this risk are: deficiencies in data, errors in the model (from design to implementation) or wrong use of the model.

The Group uses models for different purposes, such as credit admission, capital calculation, monitoring behavior of payment, determination of loan reserves, market risk and liquidity. Model risk management is structured around a set of processes known as the life cycle of the model. The phases of the life cycle of the model in the Group are: Identification, Planning, Development, Internal Validation, Approval, Implementation and use, and Monitoring and control.

Management of model risk is proportional to the importance of each model. To this end, a tiered approach is used to synthesize the level of importance of a model, from which the level of model management is determined.

e) Risk in insurance activity and operational risk

Both our operational risk, which measures the probability of loss of the business operations, and our insurance activity risk, which measures the real cost of claims and benefit payments and the timing thereof, are important for the Group’s risk management. How we identify, evaluate, measure, treat and control operational risk and insurance activity risk is defined and explained in the following notes to our audited consolidated financial statements: 34.4 Operational risk and 34.8 Risk of the insurance activity.

The main risk faced by the Group related to insurance contracts is that the real cost of claims and payments or the opportunity cost of claims and payments, differs from what was expected. The magnitude of this risk is influenced by the frequency of claims, the severity of claims, the real benefits paid and the development of long-term claims. Therefore, the Group seeks to ensure that sufficient reserves are available to cover these obligations. The Group constantly monitors the adequacy of its technical reserves by taking appropriate measures against possible adverse results. It also, contracts with independent, recognized actuarial services firms to conduct periodic reviews regarding the sufficiency of reserves for the companies that make up the Insurance & Pensions LoB.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Board of Directors and management are 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 and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

342

Content

■

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets;

■

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements, and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and IFRS; 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 our financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections about the effectiveness of our internal controls are subject to the risk that controls will become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in compliance with policies or procedure.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on the framework set forth by the COSO in Internal Control-Integrated Framework version 2013. Based on this assessment, our management identified no material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was effective, which means that each of the relevant components and seventeen principles are present and functioning and the five components operate together in an integrated manner.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Gaveglio Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L (a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited), our independent registered public accounting firm. As stated in their report included herein, Gaveglio Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L has expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.

Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Credicorp Ltd

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Credicorp Ltd and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in net equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

343

Content

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the 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. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, 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 Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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 with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) 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.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) 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.

Allowance for credit losses on loan portfolio

As described in Notes 3 f, 3 i, 7 and 34.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the amount recognized as allowance for credit losses on loan portfolio is S/9,071.0 million as of December 31, 2021. As disclosed by management, the calculations of credit losses are product of models with a series of underlying assumptions with regard to the choice of the variable inputs and their interdependencies, such as the probabilities of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD), including prospective information, macroeconomic factors and expected life of a financial instrument, among others. The impairment model for expected credit loss reflects the present value of all the cash deficit events related to the events of default, whether (i) during the following twelve months or (ii) during the expected useful life of a financial instrument depending on the impairment of the credit from its beginning. The expected credit loss reflects a result weighted by probability that considers a range of multiple outcomes based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. Additionally, management has reviewed its internal credit risk methodological models, in order to respond to the uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and the political instability, carrying out certain procedures, such as: (i) using information on customers’ payment behavior, which, due to the progressive expiration of run-off periods and other assistance granted by the government, reflect credit risk factors to a greater extent; (ii) where there is no information about payment behavior, mainly due to grace periods, certain portfolios do not allow predictability about the non-compliance of future customer payments and continue to use qualitative factors based on analysis and statistical validation of surveys and factors of adjustments considering historical payment behaviors without grace periods; (iii) LGD estimates were updated with assumptions, related to payments from customers in arrears, to see the impact on recoveries; and (iv) the macroeconomic projections and scenario weights were updated to reflect the effect of the reactivation of the economy, which was partially affected under the context of political uncertainty in 2021.

345

Content

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to allowance for credit losses on loan portfolio is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgement by management when developing their estimate. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence obtained related to the assumptions used such as the PD, LGD and EAD, including prospective information, macroeconomic factors and expected life of a financial instrument and also considering the updates to respond to the uncertainty regarding COVID-19. Also, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the expected credit loss allowance estimation process, which include controls over data inputs, models and assumptions adopted by management, and the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. These procedures also included, among others, testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the model, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in testing management’s process for estimating expected credit loss allowance, including evaluating the appropriateness of the methodologies and models and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions, such as the probabilities of default, loss given default and exposure at default including prospective information, macroeconomic factors, expected life and also considering the updates to respond to the uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and the political instability.

Valuation of the mathematical reserves for annuities

As described in Notes 3 e, 16 and 34.8 to the consolidated financial statements, the amount recognized as mathematical reserves for annuities is S/6,759.7 million as of December 31, 2021. As disclosed by management, the valuation of the Company’s insurance contracts depends on some key subjective assumptions regarding future events. The valuation of the liabilities generated by insurance contracts is made based on the actuarial assumptions and data used in the calculation. Some of the key actuarial and economic assumptions used in the valuation of the insurance contracts are critical and include, among others, the mortality tables and interest rates. Minor changes in each of these key actuarial and economic assumptions could result in significant impacts in the valuation of the obligations for those insurance contracts and in the respective impacts reflected in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to mathematical reserves for annuities is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgement by management when developing their estimate. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence obtained related assumptions used such as the mortality tables and interest rates. Also, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing procedures and evaluating the audit evidence obtained.

ITEM 16C.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee must approve all of the services that the independent external auditor provides as part of its responsibility to supervise the internal auditor’s work. The Audit Committee provides two types of approvals as set forth below:

(1)

The Audit Committee grants a “general approval” in advance for services that the independent external auditor may provide. After a general approval is given, further approval from the Audit Committee is required. A general approval is valid for 12 months from the date of approval unless the Audit Committee determines a different period shall apply. The Audit Committee is regularly informed of the services provided through the general approval process.

348

Content

(2)

The Audit Committee also grants “specific approval” on case-by-case basis for services that do not have general approval. All of the services that are not granted general approval need specific approval from the Audit Committee before any agreement is signed with the independent external auditor to provide such services. Any service that exceeds approved costs or budgets will need specific approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has set a limit on all tax and other fees, which cannot be greater than 35% of total auditor’s fees during a fiscal year. The Audit Committee may change this limit based upon our corporate needs and the complexity of the service provided by the independent external auditor. When considering granting any type of approval, the Audit Committee takes into account whether the requested services are consistent with the SEC’s rules regarding the independence of the independent external auditor.

As necessary, the Audit Committee supervises the execution of services provided by the independent external auditor. It approves, when necessary, any modification in the terms, conditions, fees, and extent of the audit services. The Audit Committee may give a general approval for other audit services where the independent external auditor is in the best position to provide those services. Such services typically include audit services required by regulations, financial audits for our subsidiaries or affiliates, and services associated with the presentation of documents to the SEC or other documents published in connection with the trading of our shares.

The Audit Committee may award a general approval to audit-related services if the committee believes that these services will not negatively affect the integrity of the independent external auditor and are consistent with SEC rules.

Consistent with SEC rules, the Audit Committee requires that all tax services provided by the independent external auditor be subject to its approval. The Audit Committee may grant a specific approval for other services provided by the independent external auditor as long as they do not impair the independence of the independent external auditor and are permissible under SEC rules.

Furthermore, in accordance with a proposal made by the Audit Committee, in 2013, the Board of Directors of Credicorp engaged in a process to select and appoint the company to act as our independent external auditor for the 5-year period starting in 2015. The companies invited to participate in the selection process were the four most prominent auditors with operations in the countries where Credicorp’s subsidiaries operate: Ernst and Young (EY), PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Deloitte. After analyzing the proposals, the Audit Committee agreed to recommend EY to serve as the independent external auditor of Credicorp and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year 2014 and Gaveglio, Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited for a period of 5 years starting on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2019. Our Board of Directors’ continued support for PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited during its term as independent external auditor is subject to the firm’s performance, which will be evaluated at the end of each year during its appointment.

349

Content

Considering the previous recommendation of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors to hire PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit Credicorp and its subsidiaries for three financial years, as from January 1, 2020 until the end of the financial year 2022, based on the quality of the work carried out by the selected firm, at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 29, 2019, the shareholders of Credicorp approved the designation of Gaveglio, Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, to act as independent external auditors of Credicorp and subsidiaries for the fiscal year 2021 and authorized our Board of Directors to delegate the approval of the independent external auditor’s annual fees to its Audit Committee.

At the meeting of the Audit Committee held on May 29, 2019, after assessing the quality, professional experience and international support, the Audit Committee approved to extend the appointment of Gaveglio, Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, to act as independent external auditors of Credicorp for the fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022 subject to the firm’s performance, which will be evaluated at the end of each year during its appointment.

The following table sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the fees agreed to for our independent external auditors, Gaveglio, Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L., for the audit of our financial statements, for assurance and related services, for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning and for other services and products for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Audit fees agreed for Gaveglio, Aparicio y Asociados S.C.R.L. totaled S/21.1 million for 2020 and S/24.6 million for 2021. The increase in audit fees in 2021 compared to 2020 was mainly due to the audit fees of the Subsidiaries in Bolivia, among the main ones are Banco de Credito de Bolivia, Crediseguro S.A. Seguros Personales, Credifondo Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Inversión S.A., and the exchange rate difference. Fees amounted to US$0.3 million, equivalent to S/1.3 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

16G. A The New York Stock Exchange – Corporate Governance

The NYSE’s corporate governance rules, codified in Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, apply, with certain exceptions for foreign private issuers like Credicorp, in full to companies listing common equity securities on the exchange. The chart below provides a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. companies under NYSE listing standards:

Section of NYSE Listed Company Manual	NYSE Corporate Governance Rules for US Domestic Issuers	Credicorp Corporate Governance Practices
303A.01	A majority of the members of the Board of Directors must be “Independent Directors”, as defined by the NYSE.	Credicorp is not required under Bermuda law to maintain a Board of Directors with a majority being Independent Directors. As of March 31, 2022, five Directors out of nine are independent.

352

Content

Section of NYSE Listed Company Manual	NYSE Corporate Governance Rules for US Domestic Issuers	Credicorp Corporate Governance Practices
303A.02	A Director cannot be “independent” unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the Director has no material relationship with the listed company. In addition, a Director is not independent if the Director: (i) is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, an executive officer of the listed company (ii) has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than US$120,000 in direct compensation from the listed company, other than Director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (iii) (a) is a current partner or employee of a firm that is the listed company’s internal or external auditor; (b) has an immediate family member who is a current partner of such a firm; (c) has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and personally works on the listed company’s audit; or (d) was, or an immediate family member was, within the last three years a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the listed company’s audit within that time (iv) is, or has been with the last three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the listed company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or served on that company’s compensation committee	Credicorp has adopted an “independence” standard that is different from the standard established by the NYSE. Credicorp’s independence standard incorporates the SEC’s minimum independence requirements applicable to Directors serving on audit committees.

16G. B Bermuda law – Corporate Governance

We are a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and are subject to Bermuda laws related to corporate governance. Under Bermuda law, there are no statutory requirements with respect to the independence of a Board of Directors, meetings of non-management Directors, the establishment and composition of certain committees or the adoption and disclosure of corporate governance guidelines or codes of business conduct and ethics. Certain Bermuda common law and statutory provisions, however, relate to duties and obligations of a company and its Directors that are similar to some of the duties and obligations arising from the provisions of Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

(1) Fiduciary Duties and Duties of Skill and Care Under Bermuda law

Under section 97(1) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (also referred to as the Companies Act), every Director and officer of a company must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company (often referred to as a “fiduciary duty”) and must exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances (often referred to as a “duty of skill and care”).

Fiduciary Duty

Under the common law applicable to Bermuda companies, the fiduciary duty of Directors has four aspects which may be briefly summarized as follows:

359

Content

A duty to act honestly and in good faith. A Director has a duty to act honestly and in good faith in what he considers are the best interests of the company and not for any collateral purpose. The courts allow the Director wide discretion in determining this, interfering only if no reasonable Director could have believed that a course of action was in the best interests of the company. However, a Director acting honestly, but not in the best interests of the company, is in breach of such duty.

A duty to exercise powers for a proper purpose. Directors must act within the powers set out in the company’s memorandum of association and bye-laws and exercise their powers in the company’s interests and for the purposes for which those powers were conferred. Even if the Directors are acting in good faith in the interests of the company as a whole, they must still use their powers for the purposes for which they were intended. For example, in general Directors are not allowed to exercise their powers in such a way as to prevent a majority of the members from exercising their rights.

A duty to avoid conflicts of interest. A Director must not put himself in a position where there is an actual or potential conflict between a personal interest and his duty to the company. However, a Director may enter into a contract where a conflict of interest might arise if the Bye-laws allow it or the company gives its approval in a general meeting. Our bye-laws do not prohibit a Director from entering into a contract where a conflict of interest may arise, but they do prohibit a Director from voting with respect to any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such Director is interested or with which such Director has a conflict of interest. In addition, section 97(4) of the Companies Act requires our Directors and officers to disclose at the first opportunity any interest in a material contract, proposed material contract or person that is a party to a material contract or proposed material contract with us or any of our subsidiaries.

A duty not to appropriate, divert or personally profit from corporate opportunities. Unless the bye-laws specifically provide otherwise, a Director’s fiduciary position precludes him from appropriating, diverting, or taking a personal profit from any opportunities that result from the directorship. Our Bye-laws do provide an exception to this rule. They provide that any Director, any Director’s firm or partner, or any company with which any Director is associated may act for us in a professional capacity. Such Director, firm, partner, or company will be entitled to compensation for professional services as if the Director were not a member of our Board of Directors. However, such Director, firm, partner, or company may not act as our auditor.

360

Content

Duty of Skill and Care

Under the common law, applicable to Bermuda companies, the duty of skill and care has three aspects which may be briefly summarized as follows:

Degree of Skill. A Director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of like knowledge and experience. A Director is not expected to exercise a level of skill he does not have. The level of skill required of a Director is subjective, in that the Director is not expected, merely by virtue of the office, to possess any particular skills. Performance must be judged by the way the Director applies any skills which he actually has. However, Directors ought to acquire and maintain a sufficient knowledge and understanding of the company’s business to enable them to properly discharge their duties as Directors.

Attention to the Business. A Director must diligently attend to the affairs of the company. In the performance of this duty, a Director must at a minimum display the reasonable care an ordinary person would be expected to take in the same circumstances on his own behalf. Mere errors of judgment have been held not to breach the duty of skill and care. A Director, as such, is not bound to give continuous attention to the affairs of the company, as his or her duties are of an intermittent nature.

Reliance on Others. A Director is not liable for the acts of Co-Directors or other company officers solely by virtue of the position. A Director is entitled to rely on his Co-Directors or company officers as well as subordinates who are expressly put in charge of attending to the detail of management, provided such reliance is honest and reasonable (although a Director cannot absolve himself entirely of responsibility by delegation to others). As a general rule, before delegating responsibility to others, the Directors in question should satisfy themselves that the delegates have the requisite skills to discharge the functions delegated to them. In addition, the Directors must ensure that there is set up an adequate system of monitoring such delegates (e.g., managers). The Directors must, on a regular basis, ensure that their delegates have fulfilled their obligations. The Directors should require a regular flow of information from the delegates to ensure that they are carrying out their duties satisfactorily. In addition, section 97(5A) of the Companies Act provides that a Director shall not have breached the fiduciary duty or duty of skill and care required by section 97(1) if he relies in good faith upon financial statements of the company represented to him by another Director or officer of the company or a report of an attorney, accountant, engineer, appraiser, or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by him.

(2) Other Statutory Duties and Obligations

The Companies Act imposes certain specific duties and obligations on companies and Directors, both directly and indirectly, including duties and obligations with respect to (i) loans to Directors and related persons, (ii) limits on indemnities for Directors and officers and (iii) the keeping of proper books of account.

Loans to Directors and Related Persons

It is not lawful for a company to make a loan or to enter into a guarantee or provide security in connection with a loan to a Director or certain persons related to a Director without the consent of the members of the company holding in the aggregate not less than 90% of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at any meeting of the members of the company, except in certain specific circumstances.

361

Content

Limits on Indemnity for Directors

Section 98 of the Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its Directors, officers, and auditors against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise be imposed on them with respect to any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust. However, this rule does not apply in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such Director; officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company or any of its subsidiaries. Any provision, whether contained in the Bye-laws of a company or in any contract or arrangement between the company and one of its Directors which would exempt such Director from, or indemnify him against, any liability that would otherwise attach to him with respect to his fraud or dishonesty in relation to the company will be void. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its Directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act. In the event that an allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proven, the Director is obligated to disgorge any money provided for his defense.

Books of Account

It is the duty of the Directors to cause to be kept proper books of account with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the company and the matters with respect to which the receipts and expenditures take place, all sales and purchases by the company, and the assets and liabilities of the company.

16G. C Peruvian Law – Corporate Governance

Although we are a holding company whose principal subsidiaries (Grupo Credito, BCP, and Grupo Pacifico) are incorporated under and subject to the laws of Peru, we are registered in Peru as a foreign issuer and are consequently only subject to Peruvian regulations applicable to foreign issuers. There are no corporate governance provisions under Peruvian law applicable to us that are similar to the provisions of Section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual.

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (hereinafter “COVID-19”) -

The COVID-19 outbreak, first reported in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 forced governments worldwide to take important measures to mitigate the spread of the disease, such as the closure of international borders, severe mobilization restrictions and quarantines. As a result, the Global Gross Domestic Product (GDP; and, PBI, for its acronym in Spanish) contracted sharply in 2020 and the economies in which Credicorp operates (mainly Perú, Chile, Colombia, Bolivia and Panama) were severely affected. In 2021, the global economy recovered as the vaccination process gained pace, but challenges related to new COVID-19 outbreaks and inflation arose. High energy prices, supply chain disruptions and pent-up demand, higher lead prices during the second half of the year which demanded action from Central Banks.

During the worst of the pandemic, the main measures taken by the governments of the countries in which Credicorp operates consisted of emergency declarations, mobilization restrictions, lockdowns and border closures. In the second semester of 2020, the economies of these countries began their reopening processes in phases or stages. However, due to the increase in cases towards the end of 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021, mobility restrictions by risk areas were imposed. Subsequently, as cases decreased, towards mid-year restrictive measures were eased, although most countries kept less stringent night curfews and capacity limits given the permanent risk of new outbreaks as highly infectious virus variants emerge.

In the main countries where Credicorp’s operates did not face a significant COVID-19 outbreak between August and September of year 2021 due to the Delta variant expansion as was experienced by countries like United States, United Kingdom and some from Emerging Asia. But, in the last quarter of year 2021, COVID-19 cases started rising again globally as a highly contagious variant, though less lethal, named Omicron, appeared. Several countries reached record daily cases at the beginning of year 2022 which prompted governments to reimpose mask mandates and stricter measures related to longer night curfews and lower attendance capacity in indoor areas.

However, compared to other COVID-19 outbreaks, given the positive impact of vaccinations, hospital admissions and deaths related to the virus have not risen as fast as before. This situation has allowed the economic recovery to continue in the countries in which the Group mainly operates. The immunization process began in December 2020 in Chile, in January 2021 in Panama and in February 2021 in Bolivia, Perú and Colombia.

Perú

Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic -

2020

In response to the major sanitary and economic shock from COVID-19, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank and Congress implemented an ample package of measures to mitigate and stimulate the economy for the equivalent of around 19.0 percent of GDP, with resources coming from prudent macroeconomic policies implemented for decades.

The measures enacted include grace periods and rescheduling of credits to individuals and legal entities, tax relief, public spending, access to private savings (pension fund accounts and severance indemnity deposits), and government-backed liquidity programs.

F-20

Content

In particular, the government supported two programs:

(i)

“Reactiva Perú”, a liquidity program aimed to give a quick and effective response to liquidity needs that companies faced due to the impact of COVID-19, ensuring the credit chain, and granting access to working capital loans guarantees to micro, small, medium and large companies. This program reached S/56.0 billion equivalents to 8.0 percent of GDP.

The amount of the credit in soles disbursed and the guarantee depended on the sales volume of each company, with a maximum of three months average of monthly sales in 2019. For microenterprises, an alternative to the sales level was the amount equivalent to two months average debt of 2019. The guaranteed coverage of the Government for these loans was 98.0 percent for loans up to S/90.0 thousand, and between 95.0 to 80.0 percent for loans greater than S/90.0 thousand and up to S/10.0 million.

The loans disbursed had maximum terms of up to thirty-six months, with a grace period of up to twelve months.

Likewise, financial entities undertook to offer these credits at record low rates, since the Central Reserve Bank granted funds through repurchase credit agreement with the Guarantee of the Government represented in securities, which were assigned through auctions or direct operations, with an effective annual rate of 0.5 percent and a grace period of twelve months without payment of interest or principal.

(ii)

The Enterprise Support Fund (FAE, by its acronym in Spanish) program enables banks and microfinance entities to provide Small and Micro businesses loans for up to S/4.0 billion with government guarantee coverage levels between 90.0 percent and 98.0 percent. This amount represents about 9.0 percent of the loan portfolio for SMEs (Pymes, by its Spanish initials) systemwide. Other Funds which have also been created are FAE funds for Agriculture and Tourism for S/2.0 billion and S/1.5 billion, respectively. These funds follow similar structures to the original FAE but are focused on specific sectors.

By the end of December 2021, the liquidated repurchase agreement operations with state guarantee from the BCRP stood at S/38,827.0 million (S/50,729.0 million in 2020).

2021

During 2021, the government announced additional economic measures amid a second wave of COVID-19, and a new targeted lockdown scheme was implemented. Regarding monetary transfers, the Government implemented a new monetary transfer program: S/600.0 for vulnerable households for a total of S/2,434.0 million, and S/350.0 for people living in poverty, extreme poverty or people of social programs: The Yanapay bonus of S/350.0 began to be paid since September 2021, and the Universal bonus of S/600.0 since February 2021.

In addition, the government extended the rescheduling of Reactiva Perú and FAE MYPE Loans for up to S/19,500.0 million from September 30, 2021 until December 30, 2021, that already included a new grace period of up to 12 months, with an eligible criteria depending on the size loans and the sales contraction registered during the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. See more detail in note 7(a).

At the same time, Peruvian Congress approved several measures, among which we highlight: (i) a new withdrawal private pension fund for both contributors and non-contributors of up to S/17,600.0 from their individual accounts, and (ii) the withdrawal of 100.0 percent of employee’s severance indemnities accounts (CTS, its acronym in Spanish) until December 2021, among others.

Effects of the pandemic on the economy -

2020

Economic activity in 2020 the GDP contracted 11.1 percent as a result of the pandemic shock and the lockdown of the economy. During this time the Government issued global treasury bonds at historically low rates for a total of US$7,000.0 million in the year, to finance the significant fiscal deficit of 8.9 percent of GDP incurred during 2020.

In June 2020 Fitch Ratings downgraded Peru’s long-term local currency debt from A- to BBB+, while maintained the BBB+ rating for long term foreign currency debt and a Stable outlook. In December 2020, Fitch revised the outlook for Peru’s long-term credit rating in foreign and domestic currency from Stable to Negative and maintained both with a BBB+ rating.

2021

As the harsh lockdowns were lifted and the vaccination process advanced, the economy began to recover. After the 11.0 percent drop in 2020, the economy rebounded 13.3 percent in 2021. Other factors that contributed to the rebound were: (i) high price of copper of US$4.23 in 2021, which implied an increase of 55.0 percent compared to the average price of 2020; as well as (ii) expansive monetary and fiscal policies.

The annual consumer inflation rate closed 2021 at 6.4 percent “compared to the previous year” (hereinafter, “y/y”), the highest in 13 years and exceeded the upper limit of the BCRP target range (1.0 percent - 3.0 percent). The acceleration of inflation was mainly explained by the food and energy items in response to factors such as higher international prices of oil and agricultural products (for example, in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to fourth quarter of 2020, corn rose 23.0 percent, wheat 20.0 percent), bottlenecks in global supply chains, as well as the 11.0 percent depreciation of soles in 2021. On the other hand, inflation excluding food and energy stood at 3.2 percent y/y (third quarter of 2021: 2.9 percent).

The monetary policy of the BCRP has responded to the increase in consumer inflation and price expectations by raising its reference rate from 0.25 percent to 3.5 percent as of February 2022, the highest since October 2017. Thus, the monetary authority seeks to return inflation expectations to their range goal (1.0 percent to 3.0 percent) in the fourth quarter of the year 2022. Inflation in January 2022 registered 5.68 percent and the 12-month inflation expectations are located at 3.7 percent in February 2022.

The annualized fiscal deficit for 2021 closed the fourth quarter of 2021 at (2.6) percent of GDP compared to (4.8) percent in the third quarter of 2021 and (8.9) percent in the fourth quarter of 2020. The notable reduction in the fiscal deficit is mainly explained by the increase in fiscal revenues in a context of a rebound in economic activity and favorable export prices.

In 2021, the Ministry of Economy and Finance issued global bonds in the international capital markets as follows: (i) March: US$4,000.0 million in bonds maturing in the 2031, 2041 and 2051, and €825 million maturing in the 2033; (ii) October: US$4,000.0 million in bonds maturing in 2034, 2051 and 2072; being the maturing bonds the 2034 and 2072 the first sustainable bonds issued by the Peruvian government; (iii) November: €1,000 million maturing in 2036.

Bolivia

Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic –

2020

In 2020, the Bolivian government announced fiscal measures such as payments for the unemployed and families with children, coverage of basic services, loans to companies to cover the payment of wages, a microcredit support program, a bonus against hunger, the enactment of a tax on Large Fortunes Law and the Refund of the Value Added Tax (VAT). Meanwhile, the Central Bank injected liquidity to the local market by 1.2 percent of GDP. In relation to measures that affect the financial system:

A renewal of the deferral of the payment of bank loans and interest was approved, initially until December 2020, but extended until June 2021 (clients do not pay capital or interest since March 2020 when the pandemic began);

A new law established that banks and financial companies must pay an additional 25.0 percent tax on profits if the ROE (Return on Equity) exceeds 6.0 percent; and

In December 2020 the capitalization of 100.0 percent of the net profits obtained by banks and financial entities was approved, with the aim of strengthening the financial system and expanding credit.

2021

In May 2021 (i) in May the government decreed an increase in the national minimum wage by 2.0 percent, and (ii) in September approved a bill that allows a partial or total withdrawal of individual pension fund accounts, which according to the Ministry of Finance reached around 1,070.0 billion Bolivian pesos (0.4 percent of GDP).

ii)

Effects of the pandemic on the economy -

After falling 8.8 percent in 2020, GDP rebounded around 6.0 percent in 2021 thanks to the easing of restrictions put in place due to the pandemic and a favorable international environment with higher oil and metal prices, which allowed a recovery in sectors such as hydrocarbons and mining. For its part, the decline in international reserves slowed down due to a controlled demand for dollars and higher remittances from Bolivians abroad (until October 2021, about 30.0 percent higher compared to the same period in 2020). International reserves closed 2021 at US$4.8 billion (12.0 percent of GDP), which decreased by just over US$500.0 million compared to 2020. Meanwhile, fiscal imbalances persisted with a deficit of around 8.0 percent of GDP and a public debt close to 80.0 percent of GDP (a high in 17 years).

In 2022, Bolivia will continue to benefit from high oil and metal prices, although this will not prevent moderate GDP growth of around 2.3 percent. The fiscal deficit would be close to the 2021 figure and there will be external bond maturities of around US$1.5 billion; thus, Bolivia could issue bonds on the international market (last time in 2017). This public debt issuance would allow to partially raise the international reserves and sustain the fixed exchange rate scheme (6.91 Bolivian pesos per dollar since 2011).

Bolivia’s credit rating deteriorated:

September 2020: Fitch and Moody’s lowered the long-term foreign currency rating from B+ to B due to deteriorating growth prospects and weakening public finances amid acute political tensions.

March 2021: S&P affirmed the country’s B+ rating but changed its outlook to negative from stable on a rising governmental debt burden.

F-23

Content

September 2021: Moody’s affirmed the B2 rating but changed outlook to negative due to large and recurring fiscal deficits, a declining foreign exchange reserves and large government financing needs in the next years (above 10.0 percent of GDP).

October 2021: Fitch affirmed the B credit rating with outlook stable.

In 2022, Bolivia will continue to benefit from high oil and metal prices, even though this will not prevent moderate growth of around 2.3 percent. The fiscal deficit would close at a level very similar to that of 2021 and there will be external bond maturities of around US$1,500.0 million, before which Bolivia could issue bonds in the international market (last time in 2017). The issue would make it possible to partially increase international reserves and sustain the fixed exchange rate scheme (6.91 Bolivian pesos per US dollar since 2011).

Colombia

Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic –

2020

In 2020 the Colombian government implemented strong fiscal measures:

Households: additional transfers of social programs, value added tax (IVA, by acronym Spanish) refunds, support to informal workers, energy subsidies;

Firms: payroll support, extraordinary bonus payments;

VAT and import tax deductions; and

Credit lines for firms and capitalization of guarantee funds.

Central Bank injected about 1.4 percent of GDP to provide liquidity in the local market and cut the benchmark rate by 250 basis points to 1.75 percent, a new historical low. In relation to the financial system, grace periods and credit restructuring were given for natural and legal people

2021

In 2021, unspent resources from the emergency mitigation fund (FOME, by acronym Spanish) created last year were used to finance the extension of some transfer programs during the first half of 2021 as well as to fund the vaccination program.

ii)

Effects of the pandemic on the economy -

After its worst recession on record, with a GDP contraction of 6.8 percent in 2020, the economy achieved a remarkable rebound in 2021, with GDP growing around 10.0 percent, despite the national strike of March/April and a strong third wave of COVID-19 in the second quarter. The economic recovery beat all early expectations and was mainly driven by strong consumer spending, which benefited from favorable financial conditions, record-high remittances from abroad workers and a continuous reopening of the economy. Besides, the government maintained an expansionary spending stance which stimulated domestic demand and the economy benefited from higher oil prices. As a result, pre-pandemic levels were reached in June. However, the recovery of investment was much slower, given the reigning uncertainty caused by the political scenario and the wide presence of the pandemic.

In 2022, GDP is expected to grow around 4.0 percent as the impulse of private consumption persists as the economy reopens further, while investment and exports would catch up to favorable external conditions related mainly to international oil prices increasing to levels not seen since 2014. The main source of uncertainty will come from the presidential elections, which will take place on May 29, with a possible runoff on June 19.

F-24

Content

Regarding monetary policy and inflation, the Central Bank started its normalization process in September 2021 and raise its reference rate from 1.75 percent to 4.00 percent at the beginning of 2022. This, as inflation steadily accelerated since March 2021 and ended December 2021 at 5.6 percent, its highest level in 5 years.

On the fiscal front, on April 15, 2021, the government presented a fiscal reform to Parliament, thus maintaining a trend of tax changes every 2 - 3 years. The goal was to raise funds (2.0 percent of GDP) via mainly a VAT hike, and individual and businesses taxes. A higher tax collection sought to strengthen the main social programs and to achieve the required fiscal adjustment after the strong hit on public finances from the pandemic. However, the government withdrew the tax reform due to growing social protests. After that, the government structured another tax reform project, less ambitious than the previous one, which was approved by Congress in September 2021. The tax reform is expected to limit the risk of further fiscal slippage, at least in the short term, and intends to collect US$4.0 billion.

Lastly, the government issued global bonds in the international markets for US$3.0 billion in April (US$2.0 billion in 2032 and US$1.0 billion in 2042). It was the second issuance of 2021 after placing global bonds for US$2.8 billion in February.

Afterwards, on May 19, 2021, S&P removed the Investment Grade status of Colombia by cutting the sovereign rating from BBB- to BB+ (outlook stable), while Fitch followed suit with the same move on July 1, 2021. On October 14, 2021, the government raised US$1.0 billion in the international markets through the reopening of the year 2049 global bond.

Panama

Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic -

2020

In 2020, the government adopted fiscal and macroprudential measures such as spending on social and health programs aimed at supporting SMEs and implemented tax relief measures. The Superintendency of Banks of Panama (SBP) allowed banks to use accumulated dynamic provision to absorb the impact of credit losses, allowed banks to undertake voluntary loan restructurings with distressed borrowers, and requested banks not to charge interest on unpaid interest. On June 30, 2020, the National Assembly approved the temporary moratorium on servicing bank loans, which included voluntary loan restructuring, grace periods, and in some cases interest rate reduction. The moratorium lasted 6 months.

2021

During 2021, it was replaced with a banking flexibility scheme, agreed between the government, the SBP and the banking association. This consists of allowing clients and banks to make the necessary modifications to maintain a viable and sustainable credit relationship. The banking flexibility scheme was initially supposed to end on June 30, 2021 but it was extended till September 30, 2021. Additionally, at the beginning of the year, the government increased the amount of the direct transfer received by the beneficiaries of the Panama Solidarity Plan and on July 1st conditions such as completing several hours of community service or training were added to the plan that disburses US$120 per month. They also extended the tariff reduction on medical supplies.

ii)

Effects of the pandemic on the economy -

Panama was one of the Latin American countries hardest hit by the pandemic due to the importance of the services sector, which represents more than 75.0 percent of GDP, and its reliance on external demand. Its model as a regional trade, logistics and financial hub, highly integrated into the world economy, left it vulnerable to a severe global downturn. The prolonged social distancing measures also played an important role in making 2020 recession an unprecedented one, with a GDP contraction of 17.9 percent.

F-25

Content

Compared to other countries where Credicorp operates, Panama´s economic recovery was initially weaker given the lack of fiscal space to adopt an expansionary fiscal policy and the absence of a central bank that executes its own monetary policy as it is a dollarized economy. In that sense, although the economy rebounded 16.0 percent in the first 11 months of 2021 (latest information officially available), one of the highest growth rates in the region, GDP is still 2.5 percent below the same period of 2019 or pre pandemic levels. Growth in 2021 has been supported by the continued global economic recovery, big infrastructure projects and the first full year of copper production of Minera Cobre Panama.

In 2022, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) estimates that the economy will grow 7.3 percent, the highest rate in the region. Thus, according to the government, it is highly probable it will recover soon pre-pandemic levels as activities keep returning to normality, the population is increasingly vaccinated, and copper production and large infrastructure projects continue.

On the other hand, Panama´s credit rating deteriorated at the beginning of the year but has stabilized since:

In February 2021, Fitch downgraded its sovereign rating by one notch from BBB to BBB-, with negative outlook, to reflect a significant deterioration of public finances with the fiscal deficit and public debt reaching 10.1 percent and 69.8 percent of GDP in 2020. Almost one year later, at the beginning of 2022, it improved its outlook to stable.

On March 17, 2021, Moody’s also cut its credit rating to Baa2, with stable outlook, citing as a key driver the very material weakening in Panama’s fiscal strength driven by the severe economic shock from the pandemic.

In August 2021, Standard & Poor´s kept the rating stable in BBB but changed the outlook to negative.

Despite this situation, the government has managed to sell debt on international capital markets. Before the downgrades, in January 2021, the government raised US$2.5 billion worth of sovereign bonds and, in June 2021, they raised US$2.0 billion through the issuance of a new Treasury Bond maturing in 2031 and the reopening of the Global Bond maturing in 2050. On January 11, 2022, the country successfully completed a US$2.5 billion bond transaction consisting of the issuance of two new bonds with maturities of 11 - and 40 - years.

Government measures to counteract negative effects of the pandemic –

2020

In 2020, the Chilean government announced three fiscal stimulus packages that represent 12.0 percent of GDP, with measures mainly focused on protecting jobs and income for low- and middle-income families, as well as SMEs. The Ministry of Finance also announced an expansion of the Fund of Guarantee for Small businesses (FOGAPE, by its acronym in Spanish) to temporarily include medium and large companies. The Central Bank of Chile (BCCh, by its initials in Spanish) reduced its interest rate in 125 bps accumulated to 0.5 percent and adopted unconventional measures such as the purchase of bank and government bonds, as well as the introduction of a new financing program for banks conditional to increased credit. Additionally, two withdrawals of 10.0 percent of the individual pension fund accounts were approved by parliament.

2021

In March 2021, the government expanded existing measures for the middle class and the most vulnerable by 2.0 percent of GDP. These included direct payments and loans with zero interest. Additionally, in April, parliament approved a third withdrawal of 10.0 percent from the individual pension fund accounts and in November a fourth withdrawal was rejected. In June, an extension until September of the Emergency Family Income (IFE, by its acronym in Spanish) was made official. This benefit, which was intended to reach close to 7.0 million households, was again extended from August to December.

Effects of the pandemic on the economy -

The economy is expected to grow 12.0 percent in 2021, one of the fastest catch ups in the Latam region and among emerging countries, rebounding significantly from the 5.8 percent contraction of year 2020. The economic recovery has surprised to the upside thanks to an unprecedented fiscal support, favorable external conditions with copper prices, its main export product, reaching all-time highs in May 2021 and one of the most successful vaccination processes within the Latam region. As a result, estimates put the economy, at the end of the year, 8.0 percent above pre-pandemic levels.

Inflation accelerated during the last half of the year and closed at 7.2 percent, its highest rate in fourteen years and largely above the 2.0 to 4.0 percent target range of the (BCCh). In that sense, the central bank started the process of normalizing its monetary policy in July and, since then it has increased its rate by 500 pbs to 5.50 percent in January 2022. Prices were also driven by a large foreign exchange depreciation of almost 20.0 percent to US dollar each 850 Chilean pesos at the end of 2021.

On the political side, on May 15-16, a Constitutional Convention Election to select the members of the body in charge of writing the new Constitution took place with results showing the left-wing parties will predominate. The process was approved by the Chilean population in a historic event; the constitutional plebiscite of October 25, 2020.

In September 2022, its estimated that the exit plebiscite will be held to approve or reject the new constitution. Also, on December 19, 2021, the second round of the presidential elections was held. Gabriel Boric was elected as the new president of Chile with 55.9 percent of the votes; the conservative candidate, Jose Antonio Kast from the Republican Party obtained 44.1 percent. The election was considered one of the most polarized, uncertain and relevant in Chile of the last decades. The presidential mandate starts on March 11 and ends five years later, in 2026.

Besides, regarding Congress results, in the Upper House, the right-wing coalition “Chile Vamos” increased its participation from 44.0 percent to 50.0 percent, while in the Lower Chamber, the right leaning coalition reduced its participation from 46.0 percent to 44.0 percent. However, the left-wing coalition now is even more fragmented.

In this context, during the last two years, Chile´s sovereign credit rating has deteriorated. On October 15, 2020, Fitch downgraded Chile’s long-term foreign currency rating from A to A- in response primarily to a marked deterioration in fiscal accounts. On March 24, 2021, Standard and Poor’s followed suit cutting its rating to A from A+, due to the expectation that the country’s public finances will stabilize at a structurally weaker level.

Political situation of Peru –

Political instability intensified after Pedro Castillo, from extreme left-wing party Peru Libre, won the presidential runoff election with 50.126 percent of the valid votes by thus defeating Keiko Fujimori, from right wing party Fuerza Popular, with 49.874 percent of the valid votes.

Several financial indicators deteriorated as official announcements and appointments caused political uncertainty. In particular, the exchange rate reached an all-time high of S/4.1375 in October 2021. The exchange rate of the sol with respect to the US dollar depreciated 11.0 percent in 2021 (3.99) despite the active intervention of the central bank in the foreign exchange market through multiple instruments (spot sales in 2021 total $11.6 billion). Likewise, the exchange rate to the Sol with respect to the US dollar depreciated 21.0 percent compared to 2019 S/(3.3123). For their part, local currency sovereign bond yields exceeded even the pandemic peak levels recorded in 2020.

In September 2021, rating agency Moody’s downgraded Peru’s credit rating for long-term debt in foreign currency from A3 with a negative outlook to Baa1 with a stable outlook, noting. In October 2021, Fitch Ratings lowered Peru’s credit rating from BBB+ negative outlook to BBB stable outlook and indicates that Peruvian government debt is higher today (37.0 percent of GDP) than when the rating was upgraded to BBB+ in 2013 (19.0 percent of GDP). For its part, the rating agency Standard & Poor’s (S&P) changed Peru’s outlook from “stable” to “negative” due to political instability S&P maintained Peru’s rating at BBB+ and A- for local currency.

Political uncertainty has softened a bit lately, macroeconomic fundamentals remain strong and Peru continues to outperform its Latin American peers on several dimensions. The exchange rate of the sol with respect to the US dollar closed on February 14, 2022 at S/3.7959, appreciating 5.1 percent in 2022, and 8.3 percent from its historical peak in October 6, 2021 at S/4.1375. Net international reserves currently represent 35.0 percent of GDP in 2021, inflation stands at 6.4 percent, and the balance of public debt is around 36.0 percent of GDP (among the lowest in the region). In addition, our banking system maintains high liquidity (compared to historical levels) and adequate capital levels.

The consolidated financial statements reasonably reflect the best available information at the time of preparation, including the uncertainty and the impact on significant assumptions and estimations, that are disclosed in the main notes to consolidated financial statements. Those accounting estimates, in the opinion of Management, are reasonable in the circumstances.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements that show some impact due to COVID-19 are as follows: Note 5, Note 6, Note 7, Note 9, Note 12, Note 14, Note 16, Note 22, Note 23, Note 24, Note 26, Note 29 and Note 34.

3	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of Credicorp’s consolidated financial statements are set out below:

Basis of presentation, use of estimates and changes in accounting policies -

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared following the historical cost criteria, except for investments at fair value through profit or loss, investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, derivative financial instruments, and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss; which have been measured at fair value.

Content

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of significant events in notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the current circumstances. The final results could differ from said estimates; however, the Management expects that the variations, if any, will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The most significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are related to the calculation of the allowance of the expected credit loss on loan portfolio, the valuation of investments, the technical reserves for insurance claims and premiums, the impairment of goodwill , the expected credit loss for investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments at amortized cost, the valuation of share-based payment plans and the valuation of derivative financial instruments.

Furthermore, other estimates exist, such as the estimated useful life of intangible assets, property, furniture and equipment and the deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The accounting criteria used for said estimates are described below.

The Group has adopted the following standards and modifications for first time for its annual period that starts on January 1, 2021, as described below:

(i)

Reform of Reference Rates – Phase 2 – Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS 7, IFRS and IFRS 16 –

On August 202, IASB made amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 to address aspects that may arise due to reference rate reform, including using an alternative as a substitute for the reference rate.

These amendments provide the following practical applications:

By changing the base to determine contractual cash flows for financial assets and liabilities (including liabilities for leasing), the practical application generates the effect that changes, which are necessary due to the IBOR reform and which are considered economically equivalent, will not result in immediate gains or losses in results.

The practical application with regard to coverage accounting will propitiate that the majority of coverage relations (whether from IAS39 or IFRS 9) that are directly affected by the IBOR reform can be maintained. Nevertheless, it is possible that some additional ineffectiveness may arise that must be recognized.

Affected entities must disclose information on the nature and scope of the risks derived from the IBOR reform to which they are exposed, including how these risks are managed; the degree of progress made in completing the transition to alternative reference rates; and how this transition is being managed.

The Group’s net exposure to LIBOR is not material given that it represents approximately 1.04 percent of our assets and 1.15 percent of our liabilities, as of December 31, 2021.

The adoption of the modification had no significant effects on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

F-29

Content

(ii)

Amendments to IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts – Deferral of IFRS 9 –

These amendments defer the application of IFRS 17 until January 1, 2023 and modify the date of use of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, contained in IFRS 4, until January 1, 2023.

The adoption of the modification had no significant effects on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

(iii)

Amendment to IFRS 16 “Leases” - Covid-19 related to rentals –

On May 28, 2020, the Council of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published an amendment to “Covid-19 related rent concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)” that amends the rule to give lessees an exemption from determining if a COVID-19 related rental constitutes a modification to leasing. The IASB also published an update of the proposed taxonomy to reflect this amendment.

When there is a change in leasing payments, the accounting treatment will depend on whether this change meets the definition of an amendment to leasing, which is defined as “a change in the scope of a lease or consideration of a leasing agreement that is not part of the original contract” as well as the terms and conditions of the lease (for example, adding or terminating the risk to use one or more underlying assets or extend or cut the term of the leasing contract)”.

The amendment modifies IFRS 16 in the following areas:

Providing lessees an exemption to assessing if a leasing concession related to COVID-19 constitutes a modification to leasing;

Require lessees that apply an exemption that considers COVID-19 concessions for leases as if they were not amendments to leases;

Determine if the change in leasing payments generates a revision in the payment for leasing that is substantially equal to or less than the payment for leasing immediately prior to the change;

Ensure that there are no substantial changes in other terms or conditions for leasing;

Require lessees that apply the exemption to disclose the same; and

Require lessees to apply the exemption retroactively according to IAS8 but do not require them to adjust the balances of financial statements from previous periods.

This amendment applies to leasing concession related to COVID019 that reduce leasing payments that expire on June 30, 2021 or before to apply leasing concessions granted as of June and with a duration of 12 months. In February 2021, the Council of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) made an amendment to “COVID019 related Leasing Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) for one more year until June 30, 2022.

The amendment went into effect on June 1, 2020 but to guarantee that this help is available when needed, lessees can apply the amendment immediately in any financial statement, whether provisional or annual and when said lessee is not yet authorized to disclose.

The adoption of the modification did not have significant effects on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

In 2020, the accounting standards adopted by the Group haven’t had any significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In 2019, the Group adopted the following changes regarding the valuation and recognition of mathematical income reserves:

Change of criteria in the discount rates used, and thus reflect the effect of market interest rates in the measurement of insurance liabilities.

Because the financial assets that have a direct effect on the annuities are measured at fair value with a change in comprehensive income, it was decided to recognize in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income the proportion corresponding to the annuities of the unrealized results that generate the assets and that have a direct effect on said annuities.

These situations were treated as a change in accounting policies in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts.

These changes in accounting policy generated a greater income reserve amounting to S/666.6 million, which was recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year, under the heading Insurance reserves of the consolidated statement of changes in equity, taking into account Consideration that the effect was not material in previous years, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

Basis of consolidation –

Investment in subsidiaries -

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries for all the years presented.

Under IFRS 10 all entities over which the Group has control are subsidiaries. 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 through its power over the investee. 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.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an 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.

The Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group assesses whether or not it controls an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes in any of the elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities, income and expenses of Credicorp and its subsidiaries.

F-31

Content

Profit or loss for the period and each component of the other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interest, even if this results in the non-controlling interest with a negative balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Assets in custody or managed by the Group, such as investment funds and private pension funds (AFP funds) and others, are not part of the Group’s consolidated financial statements, Note 3(ab).

Transactions with non-controlling interest -

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction and any resulting difference between the price paid and the price for which non-controlling interests are adjusted is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of changes in net equity.

The Group does not record any additional goodwill after the purchase of the non-controlling interest, nor does it recognize a gain or loss from the sale of the non-controlling interest.

Loss of control -

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the carrying amount of the related assets (including goodwill) and liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any residual investment retained is recognized at fair value.

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 exercising control over said policies.

The Group’s investments in its associates are recognized initially at cost and are subsequently accounted for using the equity method. They are included in “Other assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position; the returns resulting from the use of the equity method of accounting are included in “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income.

c)	Functional, presentation and foreign currency transactions –

(i)

Functional and presentation currency -

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries which operate in Peru consider the sol as their functional and presentation currency since it reflects the nature of the economic events and relevant circumstances for most of the Group´s entities, given the fact their major transactions and/operations, such as: loans granted, financing obtained, sale of insurance premiums, interests and similar income, interest and similar expenses, as well as a significant percentage of their purchases; they are agreed and settled in soles.

(ii)

Transactions and balances in foreign currency -

Foreign currency transactions are those entered into in currencies other than the functional currency. These transactions are initially recorded by Group entities at the exchange rates of their functional currencies at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are adjusted at the exchange rate of the functional currency prevailing at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

The differences arising from the exchange rate prevailing at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position presented and the exchange rate initially used in recording transactions are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which they occur, in “Net gain from exchange differences”, except for those that correspond to monetary items that are part of a hedging strategy for a net investment abroad, said accumulated difference is recognized in the caption “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations” in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.. Non-monetary assets and liabilities acquired in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing at the initial transaction date and are not subsequently adjusted.

(iii)

Group entities with functional currency other than the presentation currency -

Given that the Group’s entities in Colombia, Chile, Cayman Islands, Panama and Bolivia have a functional currency different from the sol, the balances were translated into Soles for consolidation purposes in accordance with IAS 21, “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” as follows:

Assets and liabilities, at the closing rate prevailing at the date of each consolidated statement of financial position.

Income and expense, at the average exchange rate for each month of the year.

All resulting exchange differences were recognized within “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations”, including the differences in financial instruments designated as accounting hedges of said investments, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

d)	Recognition of income and expenses from banking activities -

Effective interest rate method:

Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR) method for all financial instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest expenses corresponding to liabilities measured at amortized cost are also recorded using the EIR.

The EIR is the rate that exactly discounts future cash flows that are estimated to be paid or received during the life of the instrument or a shorter period, if appropriate, to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The EIR (and, therefore, the amortized cost of the financial asset or liability) is calculated taking into account any discount, premium and transaction costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instrument, but the expected credit loss are not included.

F-36

Content

Interest income and expenses:

The Group calculates interest income by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of those financial assets that are not impaired.

When a financial asset becomes impaired and, therefore, is considered in Stage 3 (as set out in Note 3(i) impairment of financial assets), the Group calculates interest income by applying the interest rate effective at the carrying amount of the asset, net of its provision for credit loss. If the evidence that the criteria for the recognition of the financial asset in Stage 3 are no longer met, the Group recalculates interest income in gross terms.

Interest income and expenses accrued from all financial instruments that generate interest, including those related to financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss, are recorded under the heading “Interest and similar income” and “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.

Dividends:

Dividends are recorded as income when they are declared.

Commissions and fees:

Commission income (which is not an integral part of the EIR) and fees are recorded as they accrue. Commissions and fees include, among others, the commission charged for the banking service in general such as account maintenance, shipping, transfers, loan syndication fees and contingent credit fees.

Other income and expenses:

All other income and expenses are recorded in the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied.

e)	Insurance activities -

Product classification:

Insurance contracts are those contracts when the Group (the insurer) has accepted a significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder. This definition also includes reinsurance contracts that the Group holds.

Life insurance contracts offered by the Group include retirement, disability and survival insurance, annuities and individual life which includes Investment Link insurance contracts. The non-life insurance contracts issued by the Group mainly include automobile, fire and allied lines, technical branches and healthcare.

F-37

Content

Reinsurance:

Ceded reinsurance arrangements do not relieve the Group from its obligations to policyholders.

The Group also assumes reinsurance risk in the normal course of business for non-life insurance contracts when applicable. Premiums and claims on assumed reinsurance are recognized as revenue or expenses in the same manner as they would be if the reinsurance were considered direct business, taking into account the classification of the reinsured insurance contract.

Reinsurance liabilities represent balances due to reinsurance companies. Amounts payable are estimated in a manner consistent with the related reinsurance contract.

Reinsurance contracts that do not transfer significant insurance risk are not material to the insurance segment.

Insurance receivables:

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the carrying amount of the insurance receivables is similar to their fair value due to their short term. The carrying value of insurance receivables is reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment loss is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. Insurance receivables are derecognized when the de-recognition criteria for financial assets, as described in Note 3(g), have been met.

“Investment Link” assets:

F-38

Content

Deferred acquisition costs (DAC):

These comprise the direct costs that originate with and are related to traditional life and Investment Link insurance contracts, which are deferred; all other acquisition costs are recognized as an expense when incurred. The direct acquisition costs comprise primarily agent commissions corresponding to the underwriting and policy issuance costs.

DAC for general insurance and health products are amortized over the period in which the related revenues are earned.

DAC are derecognized when the related contracts are either settled or disposed of.

An impairment review is performed at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises. When the recoverable amounts are less than the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. DAC is also considered in the liability adequacy test for each reporting period.

Reinsurance commissions:

Commissions on reinsurance contracts for ceded premiums are amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the coverage of the related insurance contract.

Insurance contract liabilities:

(i)

Life insurance contract liabilities -

Life insurance liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

The technical reserves maintained by the Group include the reserves of all of the business lines, comprising both the mathematical reserves and those of ongoing risk, as well as the reserves for outstanding claims, settled claims, claim settlement costs, claims incurred but not reported, as applicable to each line.

Due to the nature of the business, the mathematical reserves of the pension lines represent the main part of the Group’s reserves, with the line of Life Annuities as the major source of reserves due to the important volume of premiums and as a result of having only single premiums. In order to determine the reserves of this business, the discounted present value of the expected future pensions, calculated on the basis of mortality tables and interest rates. Those are based on the asset portfolio which supports the liabilities. Additionally, the constituted reserves include the amount required to cover the maintenance expenses related to the administration of the payment of future pensions.

The mathematical reserves of the income lines are determined by the sum of the value discounted from future expected pensions to be paid during a defined period or not defined, calculated on the basis of the current mortality and morbidity tables, and the market discount interest rates of the investment portfolio. During 2018, the Group adopted the new mortality tables approved and published by the SBS through Resolution SBS No.886-2018; these tables reflect recent changes in the life expectancy.

F-39

Content

The Group also uses discount rates in measuring annuities, in order to reflect the market value in the measurement of insurance liabilities, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group uses the market rate for harvests of the portfolio of its financial assets for pension flows shifted by currency (market rates).

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the adjustments to the liabilities at each reporting date of the consolidated statement of financial position are recorded in the consolidated statement of income (due to the effects of the variations in the mortality tables) and in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (due to the effect of the market rate), both effects are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as of December 31, 2021. The liability is derecognized when the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled.

Also, given that the financial assets that have a direct effect on the annuities are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group modified the recognition of its annuities with the aim of recognizing in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income the proportion that corresponds to annuities, of the unrealized results generated by the assets and that have a direct effect in said annuities.

On the other hand, in the Individual Life business the Group offers some products which are only risk related and others of risk and savings, the latter being those which comprise the highest percentage of reserves of the line. Risk and savings products can be differentiated between those with a guaranteed interest rate and others without guaranteed interest, the reserve for the first group being equal to the balance of the policy accounts plus the unaccredited surplus interest, and for the second group it is equal to the balance of the policy accounts. Said accounts are established with the premiums collected, tax deductions, expenses and costs of insurance and the accreditation of interest based on the yield of the portfolio which supports said reserves.

Life insurance claims reserves include reserves for reported claims and the estimates of the incurred claims buy not reported (IBNR) to the Group. As of December 31, 2019, reserves for claims occurred and not reported were determined on the basis of the Chain Ladder methodology (a generally accepted actuarial method), whereby the weighted average of past claim development is projected into the future; this projection is based on the ratios of occurrence of accumulated past claims. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, IBNR reserves were calculated in two parts:

a) IBNR reserve for regular claims and

b) IBNR reserve for expected excess mortality (deaths above the average number of cases in the pre-pandemic months).

For part a) the reserves were determined based on the Chain Ladder methodology, maintaining the expected loss ratio of the periods prior to the pandemic and for part b) the IBNR reserves were determined based on the estimate of deaths in addition to the average (excess mortality) of each portfolio and subtracting additional claims to the average already reported to the Group. The excess mortality of each portfolio is calculated taking into account the excess mortality experienced in the country by geographic location and age ranges and the representation of the portfolio of policyholders in those same segments. It should be noted that, due to periods of social confinement and stoppage of certain activities, the claim report during 2021 and 2020 has shown greater delays than in previous years, which translates into an increase in IBNR and an increase in claims, likewise, it is reflected in the increase in the reserve for pending claims. In general, claim reserves have been estimated with prudential criteria due to the uncertainty in the loss ratio caused by the pandemic.

At each reporting date, an evaluation is carried out as to whether the life insurance liabilities are adequate, net of the related DAC, by means of a liability adequacy test as established by IFRS 4. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s Management concluded that the liabilities are sufficient and, therefore, they have not recognized any additional liability for life insurance contracts.

F-40

(ii)

Non-life insurance contract liabilities (which comprise general and healthcare insurance) -

Non-life insurance contract liabilities are recognized when contracts are entered into.

Claims reserves are based on the last estimated cost of all claims incurred but not settled at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, whether reported or not, together with related claim handling costs and the expected reduction in value of salvage and other recoveries. Delays can be experienced in the notification and settlement of certain types of claims, therefore their ultimate cost cannot be known with certainty at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

Claims occurred but not reported are estimated and included in the provision (liabilities). The reserves for claims that have not been reported are determined based on the Chain Ladder methodology (a generally accepted actuarial method) that considers the statistical analysis of the experience in reporting claims of the Group, the expected costs of the claims to be reported and when appropriate, adjustments in the last estimated periods based on the frequency and/or severity of the cases to better reflect the current conditions.

During 2021 and 2020, the Group incorporated in the estimate of the reserve for incurred and unreported claims (IBNR) of the general insurance businesses, adjustments in the expected frequency of claims during the months of confinement, stoppage of transport and activities in the country, as well as the decrease in the insured portfolio that was later recovering its usual level.

In the case of Medical Assistance (“AMED” in Spanish), the IBNR estimate included the estimate of regular claims and also the IBNR estimate for COVID claims, which had a different frequency and cost than regular claims. For the months prior to the pandemic, the estimate of expected claims was maintained considering that during 2021 and 2020 the reporting of claims had a significant delay compared to previous years as a result of the confinement decreed in the country.

For the months of pandemic, from March 2020 onwards, the regular IBNR incorporated in the estimate the decrease in the frequency of outpatient consultations (only hospitalizations and emergencies were attended) while the IBNR COVID included the claims estimated by the pandemic with the costs expected treatment, hospitalizations and intensive care admissions. During 2022, the development and reporting of regular claims and COVID will continue to be monitored, given that activities and mobilization in the country are not yet at the usual levels.

No provision is recognized for stabilization or catastrophic reserves. The liability is written off when the contract expires, is eliminated or canceled.

Technical reserves for non-life insurance contracts comprise the provision for unearned premiums which represents premiums received for risks that have not yet expired. Generally, the reserve is liberated during the term of the contract and is recognized as premium income.

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the risk from outstanding claims and an existing liability adequacy test as laid out under IFRS 4, to determine whether there is any overall excess of expected claims over unearned premiums. If these estimates show that the carrying amount of the unearned premiums is inadequate, the deficiency is recognized in the consolidated statement of income by setting up a provision for liability adequacy. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Management determined that the liabilities were adequate; therefore, it has not recorded any additional liabilities for non-life insurance contracts.

Income recognition:

(i)

Gross premiums -

Life insurance contracts -

Gross premiums on life contracts are recognized as revenue when due from the policyholder. For single premium business, revenue is recognized on the date on which the policy is effective.

Non-life insurance contracts -

Gross non-life insurance direct and assumed premiums comprise the total premiums written and are recognized on the date of issue of the policy as a receivable. At the same time, a reserve is recorded for unearned premiums which represent premiums for risks that have not yet expired. Unearned premiums are recognized as income over the contract period which is also the coverage and risk period.

(ii)

Fees and commission income -

Investment Link insurance contract policyholders remunerate the Group for policy administration services, investment management services, surrenders and other contract fees. These fees are recognized as revenue in the consolidated statement of income in the period in which the services are provided.

Recognition of benefits, claims and expenses:

(i)

Benefits and claims -

The benefits and claims for life insurance contracts include the cost of all claims arising during the year including internal and external claim 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. Pension payments are recorded when they accrue.

General and health insurance claims include all claims occurring during the year, whether reported or not, internal and external claim handling costs that are directly related to the processing and settlement of claims, a reduction for the value of salvage and other recoveries, and any adjustment to claims outstanding from previous years.

(ii)

Ceded premiums -

Comprise the total premiums payable for the coverage of the insurance contracts and are recognized on the date on which the validity of the insurance policy commences. Unearned ceded premiums are deferred over the term of the underlying 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)	Financial instruments: Initial recognition and subsequent measurement -

A financial instrument is any agreement that originates a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

The Group determined the classification of its financial instruments at the date of initial recognition.

F-42

Content

All the financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental costs related to the transaction that are directly attributable to the purchase or issue of the instrument, except in the case of financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss.

The purchases or sales of financial assets that require the delivery of the assets within a term established according to market regulations or conventions (regular market terms) are recognized on the negotiation date, in other words, the date in which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group classified the financial assets in one of the categories defined by IFRS 9: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value though other comprehensive income and at amortized cost, based on:

The business model for managing the financial assets and

The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

Business model -

Represents how the financial assets are managed to generate cash flows and it does not depend on the Management’s intention with regard to an individual instrument. Financial assets can be managed for the purpose of: i) obtaining contractual cash flows; ii) obtaining contractual cash flows and sale; or iii) others. In order to evaluate the business models, the Group considers:

The risks that affect the performance of the business model, and in particular, the way in which these risks are managed.

How the performance of the business model and the financial assets, held within this business model, are evaluated and informed to the key personnel of the Administration of the Group.

If the cash flows after initial recognition are carried out in a manner other than what is expected by the Group, the classification of the remaining financial assets maintained in this business model is not modified.

When the financial asset is maintained in the business models i) and ii), it requires the application of the “Solely Payments of Principal and Interest” test - “SPPI”.

SPPI Test (Solely Payments of Principal and Interest) -

This test consists in the evaluation of the cash flows generated by a financial instrument in order to verify if the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. In order to conform to this concept, the cash flows must solely include the consideration of the time value of money and the credit risk. If the contractual terms introduce risk exposure or cash flow volatility, such as the exposure to changes in the prices of capital instruments or the prices of raw materials, the financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss. Hybrid contracts must be evaluated as a whole, including all the integrated characteristics. The accounting of a hybrid contract that contains an embedded derivative is carried out jointly, in other words, the entire instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

(i)

Financial assets at amortized cost -

A financial asset is classified at amortized cost if the following conditions are met:

It is held within a business model the objective of which is to maintain the financial asset to obtain the contractual cash flows, and

F-43

Content

The contractual conditions give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of the principal and interest.

After their initial recognition, the financial assets of this category are valued at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, minus any credit loss provision. The amortized cost is calculated considering any discount or premium incurred in the acquisition and professional fees that constitute an integral part of the effective interest rate. The interests income are included in the item “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated income statement.

Financial assets at amortized cost include direct credits that are recorded when the disbursement of the funds in favor of the clients is carried out, and indirect (contingent) credits that are recorded when the documents that support said credit facilities are issued. Furthermore, the Group considers as refinanced or restructured those credits that, due to difficulties in payment on the part of the debtor, change their payment schedule.

The impairment loss is calculated using the expected loss approach and recognized in the consolidated income statement in the item “Net gain on securities” for investments and in the item “Provision for credit losses on loan portfolio” for loans.

The balance of the financial assets, measured at amortized cost, is presented net of the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The accounting treatment of repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing is explained in Note 3(f)(v).

(ii)

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income -

The financial assets that the Group maintains in this category are : a) investments in debt instruments, and b) investments in equity instruments, not for trading, irrevocably designated at initial recognition.

Investments in debt instruments –

A financial asset is classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when the following conditions are followed:

The financial asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and

The contractual conditions give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.

After their initial recognition, investments in debt instruments are measured at fair value, recording the unrealized gains and losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, net of their corresponding income tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is sold; upon which the accumulated profit or loss is recognized in the item “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income.

Interest is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the item “Interest and similar income” and it is reported as interest income using the effective interest rate method.

When a debt instrument is designated in a fair value hedging relationship, any change in the fair value due to changes in the hedged risk is recognized in the item “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statement of income.

The gains or losses due to exchange differences related to the amortized cost of the debt instrument are recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and those related to the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value are recognized as part of the unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

F-44

Content

The estimated fair value of the investments in debt instruments is mainly determined based on quotations or, in their absence, based on the discounted cash flows using market rates in accordance with the credit quality and the maturity term of the investment.

The impairment loss of investments in debt instruments is calculated using the expected loss approach and is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, charged to the item “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income; in this sense, it does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the consolidated statement of financial position, which is maintained at fair value. The impairment loss recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the debt instrument is derecognized.

Investments in equity instruments, not for trading, designated upon initial recognition (equity instruments designated at the initial recognition) -

At the moment of their initial recognition, the Group can make an irrevocable choice to present the equity instruments, which are not for trading, but for strategic purposes, in the category “At fair value through other comprehensive income”.

After their initial recognition, the equity investments are measured at fair value, recording the unrealized gains and losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, net of their corresponding income tax and non-controlling interest, until the investment is sold, whereupon the accumulated gain or loss is transferred to the item “Retained earnings” of the consolidated statement of changes in equity; in other words, they are not subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statement of income.

As a result, the equity instruments classified in this category do not require a loss impairment evaluation.

Dividends are recognized when the collection right has been established and they are recorded in the item “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statement of income.

(iii)

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss -

Financial assets must be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, unless they are classified and measured at “Amortized cost” or “At fair value through other comprehensive income”.

The financial assets that the Group maintains in this category are: a) Investments in debt instruments, b) investments in equity instruments for trading purposes, c) financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss from their initial recognition, and d) derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Debt instruments -

Said instruments are classified in this category since: a) they are maintained for trading purposes, or b) their cash flows are not solely payments of principal and interest.

After their initial recognition they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the item “Net gain on securities” of the consolidated statement of income. Interests accrued are calculated using the contractual interest rate and recorded in the “Interest and similar income” item of the consolidated statement of income.

F-45

Content

Equity instruments -

Equity instruments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, unless an irrevocable choice is made, at the time of initial recognition, to designate them at fair value through other comprehensive income.

After their initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the item “Net gains on securities” of the consolidated statement of income. The profit from dividends is recorded in the item “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statement of income when the right to payment has been recognized.

Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss from initial recognition -

Upon initial recognition, Management can irrevocably designate financial assets as measured at fair value through profit or loss, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an incongruence of measurement or recognition that would otherwise arise from the measurement of the assets or liabilities or from the recognition of the profit and losses thereof on different bases.

After initial recognition they are measured at fair value, recording the changes in the consolidated statement of income.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group classified the financial liabilities upon initial recognition as measured at amortized cost, except in the case of the financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. These liabilities include the derivatives measured at fair value.

The interest incurred is accrued in the item “Interest and similar expense” of the consolidated statement of income.

Furthermore, upon initial recognition, Management can irrevocably designate financial liabilities as measured at fair value through profit or loss when one of the following criteria is complied with:

An incongruence in the measurement is eliminated or significantly reduced, which would otherwise arise from using different criteria to measure assets or liabilities; or

They are part of a group of financial liabilities, which are managed and their yield is evaluated based on fair value, according to a documented investment strategy or risk management; or

The financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that otherwise significantly modify the required cash flows.

(iv)

Reclassification of financial assets and liabilities -

The reclassification of financial assets will always take place as long as the business model that manages financial assets is changed. We expect this change will be less than frequent. These changes are determined by the Group Management as a result of external or internal changes, which must be necessary for the Group’s operations and demonstrable against third parties. Therefore, a change in the Group’s business model will take place only when it starts or stops carrying out an activity that is significant for its operations. The financial liabilities are never reclassified.

(v)

Repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending and borrowing –

Securities sold under repurchase agreements at a specified future date are not derecognized from the consolidated statement of financial position as the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership. The cash received is recorded as an asset in “Cash and due from banks” and the corresponding obligation to return it is recognized too, including accrued interest, as a liability in “Payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending”, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan to the Group. The difference between the sale and repurchase price was treated as interest expense and accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate and was recognized in “Interest and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income.

F-46

Content

As part of this transaction the Group grants assets as collateral. When the counterparty receives securities and has the right to sell or re-pledge, the Group reclassifies those securities in “Investments at fair value through other comprehensive income pledged as collateral” or “Amortized cost investments pledged as collateral”, as appropriate, of the consolidated statement of financial position. When the counterparty receives cash as collateral that will be restricted until the maturity of the contract, the Group reclassifies the cash in “Cash collateral, reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowings” in the consolidated statement of financial position, which includes accrued interest that is calculated according to the effective interest rate method. Likewise, when the counterparty receives a loan portfolio, the Group maintains these loans in “Loan portfolio, net” in the statement of financial position, whose control is kept in off-balance sheet accounts.

Conversely, securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements at a specified future date are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position. The cash granted is recorded as an outgoing asset in “Cash and due from banks” account and the corresponding right to charge it, including accrued interest, is recorded in “Cash collateral, reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing”, reflecting the transaction’s economic substance as a loan granted by the Group. The difference between the purchase and resale price is recorded in “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statement of income and is accrued over the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate method.

If securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreement are subsequently sold to third parties, the obligation to return the securities is recorded as a short sale in the consolidated statement of financial position as “Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” and measured at fair value, with any gains or losses included in the consolidated statement of income as “Net gain on securities”.

Securities lending and borrowing transactions are usually collateralized by securities. The transfer of the securities to counterparties is only reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position if the risks and rewards of ownership are also transferred.

De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities -

Financial assets:

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or a part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or (ii) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and 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.

F-47

Content

Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. 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 withdrawal of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability; the difference between the carrying amount of the original financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Offsetting financial instruments -

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and Management has the intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Impairment of financial assets -

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group applies a three-stage approach to measure the provision for credit loss, using an impairment model based on the expected credit losses as established in IFRS 9, for the following categories:

Financial assets at amortized cost,

Debt instruments classified as investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and

Indirect loans that are presented in off-balance accounts.

The financial assets classified or designated at fair value through profit of loss and the equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, are not subject to impairment evaluation.

Financial assets migrate through three stages according to the change in the credit risk from the initial recognition.

Impairment model of expected credit losses -

The calculations of credit losses are products of models with a series of underlying assumptions with regard to the choice of the variable inputs and their interdependencies. The impairment model for expected credit loss reflects the present value of all the cash deficit events related to the events of default, whether (i) during the following twelve months or (ii) during the expected useful life of a financial instrument depending on the impairment of the credit from the beginning. The expected credit loss reflects an unbiased result weighted by probability that considers a range of multiple outcomes based on reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The provisions for credit losses will be measured on each reporting date following a three-stage model of expected credit losses based on the degree of credit impairment from its origin:

Stage 1: Financial assets whose credit risk has not increased significantly since its initial recognition, a reserve will be recognized for losses equivalent to the credit losses expected to occur from defaults in the following 12 months. For those instruments with a maturity less than 12 months, a probability of default corresponding to the remaining term until maturity is used.

Stage 2: Financial assets that have presented a significant increase in credit risk compared with initial recognition, but are not considered impaired, a reserve will be recognized for losses equivalent to the credit losses expected to occur during the remaining life of the asset.

Stage 3: Financial assets with evidence of impairment on the reporting date, a reserve will be recognized for losses equivalent to the expected credit losses during the entire life of the asset. The interest income will be recognized based on the carrying amount of the asset, net of the loss reserve.

Measurement of the expected loss -

The measurement of the expected credit loss is mainly based on the product of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and exposure at default (EAD), discounted at the reporting date and considering the expected macroeconomic effects and all in accordance with the new regulation.

The details of these statistical parameters are the following:

PD: is an estimate of the probability of default in a determined time horizon. A default can only occur at a determined moment during the remaining estimated life, if the provision has not been previously derecognized and it is still in the loan portfolio.

LGD: is an estimate of the loss produced in the case a predetermined value is produced at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows owed and those that the lender would expect to receive, even after the liquidation of any guarantee. Generally, it is expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

EAD: is an estimate of the exposure on a future default date, which considers the changes expected in the exposure after the reporting date, including the reimbursements of principal and interest, whether programmed by contract or otherwise, and the interest accrued due to default payments.

The fundamental difference between the credit loss considered as Stage 1 and Stage 2 is the PD horizon. The estimates of Stage 1 use a 12-month horizon, while those situated in Stage 2 use an expected loss calculated with the remaining term of the asset and consider the effect of the significant increase in credit risk. Finally, Stage 3 will estimate the expected loss based on the best estimate (“ELBE”), according to the situation of the collection process of each asset.

Changes from one stage to another -

The classification of an instrument as stage 1 or stage 2 depends on the concept of “significant increase in credit risk” on the reporting date compared with the origination date; in this sense, the definition used considers the following criteria:

An account is classified in stage 2 if it has more than 30 days in arrears.

Risk thresholds have been established based on the internal models and based on relative difference thresholds (by portfolio and risk level) in which the instrument was originated.

The follow-up systems, alerts and monitoring of risk portfolios are integrated, as established by the current risk policy in Wholesale and Retail Banking.

Additionally, all the accounts that are classified as default on the reporting date are considered as stage 3. The significant risk increase evaluations from their initial recognition and of credit impairment are carried out independently on each reporting date. The assets can move in both directions, from one stage to another. See more detail in Note 34.1(c).

F-49

Content

Prospective information -

The measurement of expected credit losses for each stage and the evaluation of significant increases in credit risk must consider information regarding previous events and current conditions, as well as the projections of future events and economic conditions. The estimate of the risk parameters (PD, LGD, EAD), used in the calculation of the provision in stages 1 and 2, included macroeconomic variables that differ between portfolios. These projections have a 3-year period and, additionally, a long-term projection.

The estimate of expected losses for stages 1, 2 and 3 will be a weighted estimate that considers three future macroeconomic scenarios. The base, optimist and pessimist scenarios are based on macroeconomic projections provided by the internal team of economic studies and approved by Senior Management. This same team also provides the probabilities of occurrence of each scenario. It should be stated, that the design of the scenario is adjusted at least once a year, with the possibility of a greater frequency if required by the surrounding conditions.

Macroeconomic factors -

In its models, the Group bases itself on a wide variety of prospective information such as economic inputs, including: the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment rates, the base rates of the central bank, among others. It is possible that the inputs and models used to calculate the expected credit losses do not always capture all the market characteristics on the date of the financial statements. To reflect this, qualitative adjustments or overlays such as temporary adjustments can be carried out using the opinion of experts.

Expected life -

For the instruments in Stage 2 or 3, the reserves for losses will cover the lifetime expected credit losses of the instrument. For the majority of the instruments, the expected life is limited to the remaining term of the product, adjusted by expected advance payments. In the case of revolving products, an analysis was carried out in order to determine the expected life period.

Presentation of allowance for loan losses in the consolidated statement of financial position -

Financial assets measured at amortized cost: as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial assets;

Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: it does not recognize any provision in the statement of financial position because the carrying amount of these assets is their fair value; however, the expected credit loss is presented in other comprehensive income;

Indirect loans: the credit loss provision is presented in the item “Other liabilities” of the statement of financial position.

Policy applicable up to December 31, 2017 -

The Group assessed at the end of each period whether there was any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets was impaired. An impairment existed if one or more events that has occurred since the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred “loss event”), had had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that could be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment could have included indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers was experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability of bankruptcy or other legal financial reorganization process and where observable data indicate that there was a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

F-50

The criterion used for each category of financial assets was follows:

(i)

Financial assets carried at amortized cost -

For loans, receivables and held-to-maturity investments that were carried at amortized cost, the Group first assessed whether impairment existed individually for financial assets that were individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that were not individually significant. If the Group determined that no objective evidence of impairment existed for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it included that asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed them for impairment. Assets that were individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss was, or continues to be, recognized were not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

The amount of any impairment loss identified was measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future expected credit losses that had not yet been incurred).

The carrying amount of the asset was reduced through the use of a provision account and the amount of the loss was recognized in the consolidated statement of income. A loan, together with the respective associated provision, was written off when classified as a loss and was fully provisioned and there was real and verifiable evidence that the loan was irrecoverable and collection efforts had been concluded without success, the impossibility of foreclosures or all collateral had been realized or had been transferred to the Group.

If in any subsequent year, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increased or decreased because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss was increased or reduced by adjusting the provision account. If in the future a written-off loan was later recovered, the recovery was recognized in the consolidated statement of income, as a credit to “Recovery of written off loans”.

The present value of the estimated future cash flows was discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. If a loan had a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss was the current effective interest rate.

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralized financial asset reflected the cash flows that could have resulted from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure was probable.

For collective assessment of impairment, financial assets were grouped considering the Group’s internal credit rating system, which considered credit risk characteristics; for example: asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type and past-due status and other relevant factors.

Future cash flows from a group of financial assets that were collectively evaluated for impairment were estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics to those in the group. Historical loss experience was adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the years on which the historical loss experience was based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that did not exist. The methodology and assumptions used were reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience.

(ii)

Available-for-sale investments -

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assessed at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position whether there was objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments was impaired.

In the case of equity investments, objective evidence could have included a significant or prolonged decline in their fair value below cost. “Significant” was to be evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value had been below its original cost. The determination of what was “significant” or “prolonged” required judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluated, among other factors, the duration or extent to which the fair value of an investment was less than its cost.

When there was evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss (measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any previously recognized impairment loss) was removed from the available-for-sale investments reserve of the consolidated statement of changes in equity and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Impairment losses on equity investments were not reversed through the consolidated statement of income; increases in their fair value after impairment were recognized directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In the case of debt instruments, impairment was assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. However, the amount recorded for impairment was the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the amortized cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Future interest income was based on the reduced carrying amount and was accrued using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Interest income was recorded as part of “Interest and similar income” of the consolidated statement of income. If in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase could be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of income, the impairment loss was reversed through the consolidated statement of income.

Renegotiated loans -

When a loan is modified, it is not considered as past due but maintained its previous classification as impaired or not impaired. If the debtor complied with the new agreement over the following six months, and an analysis of its payment capacity supported a new improved risk classification, the loan is classified as not impaired. If, subsequent to the loan modification, the debtor failed to comply with the new agreement, it is considered as impaired and past due.

Leases -

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group maintains mainly lease premises, used as offices and agencies, and servers and technological platforms, which were registered in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16 “Leases”. This standard considers that a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

Initial Recognition -

The lease contracts are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the date the leased asset is available for use.

F-52

Content

The right-of-use assets are initially recognized at cost including the following:

The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability.

Any lease payment paid to the lessor before the start date or on the same date.

Direct costs incurred and costs for dismantling or rehabilitation, if any.

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate could be determined easily, or the incremental interest rate by loans of the lessee, which is the interest rate that the lessee would have to pay for borrowing for a term similar, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value asset by the right-of-use in a similar economic environment with similar terms, guarantees and conditions.

Subsequent Recognition –

The Group has chosen to measure the asset at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, and adjusting any new measurement of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated in a straight line within the term of the lease.

The liability will be recorded at its amortized cost, that is, it will be increased to reflect the accrued interest, recognized in the heading “Interest, returns and similar expenses” of the consolidated statement of income, and the fees paid will be subtracted.

Likewise, the balance of the liability will be reviewed in the following cases:

When there is a change in the expected amount to be paid under a residual value guarantee.

When there is a change in future lease installments to reflect the variation in an index or interest rate.

When there is a change in the terms of the lease.

When there is a change in the evaluation of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases with little significant value are recognized in a straight line as an expense in the “Administrative expenses” item of the consolidated statement of income.

The accounting treatment of lessors continues with a similar model to that of IAS 17; In that sense, lessors continue to perform a classification test to distinguish between financial and operating leases.

F-53

Content

Property, furniture and equipment -

Property, furniture and equipment are recorded at historical acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if applicable. Historical acquisition costs include expenditures 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 flow from the use of the acquired property, furniture or equipment.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which are as follows:

	Years
Buildings and other construction		33
Installations		10
Furniture and fixtures		10
Vehicles and equipment		5
Computer hardware		4

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 on de-recognition 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.

Assets’ residual value and the selected useful life are periodically reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with current economic benefits and life expectancy.

Investment properties -

Investment properties are held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for: (a) use in the production or supply or goods or services or for administrative purposes; or (b) sale in the ordinary course of business. Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is recognized at cost before completion.

Investment properties are initially measured at fair value, which is the purchase transaction price, unless otherwise indicated. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement, which includes the purchase price and any other cost directly attributable to the transaction.

For subsequent recognition, an entity shall choose as its accounting policy either the fair value model or the cost model and shall apply that policy to all its investment property. At the date of the consolidated financial statements, the Group has opted for keeping the cost model. Accordingly, investment properties are accounted for at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and the accumulated impairment losses, if any.

An entity can opt for recognizing and depreciating separately the components of an investment property or as a single unit for recording and depreciation purposes. The Group recognizes as a single unit each of its investment properties and has estimated a useful life of 33 years for purposes of determining depreciation under the straight-line method.

F-54

Content

Rental income is recognized as rents that are accrued under the related rental agreement; depreciation expenses as well as related expenses directly with the maintenance of the leased assets, they are recorded net in the item of “Other Income” of the consolidated statement of income.

Seized assets -

Seized assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market value, which is obtained from valuations made by independent appraisers. Reductions in book values are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

Business combination -

The acquisition cost is the sum of the consideration paid for the acquisition measured at fair value at the acquisition date and the amount of the share in the non-controlling interest acquired. For each business combination the Group decides whether to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportional share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses and are included within “Administrative expenses” in the consolidated statement of income.

The acquisition of a non-controlling interest is recorded directly in net equity, any difference between the amount paid and the acquired net assets is recorded as an equity transaction. Accordingly, the Group recognizes no additional goodwill after the acquisition of the non-controlling interest, nor does it recognize any profit or loss from the disposal of the non-controlling interest. Equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial position. Profit attributable to the non-controlling interest is shown separately in the consolidated statement of income and consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

If a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition date and the value of the previous participation of the acquirer is measured again at a fair value at the date of acquisition. The gains or losses arising from such remedy are recognized in profit or loss. Likewise, in accordance with IFRS 3, from the date of acquisition of a company that isn’t under common control, the acquirer has a subsequent 12-month period to be able to adjust the initial recognition of goodwill. During 2021 the Group hasn’t carried out business combinations of acquired entities except for those detailed in Note 2(a).

Combinations of entities under common control

A business combination between entities or businesses under common control is outside the scope of IFRS 3, because it corresponds to a business combination in which all the entities or businesses that are combined are controlled, ultimately, by the same part or parts, before and after the business combination. In these transactions, the Group recognizes the assets acquired under the interest unification method, whereby the assets and liabilities of the combined companies are reflected at their book values and no goodwill is recognized as a result of the combination.

F-55

Content

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been presented considering the aforementioned. See Note 2(a).

Intangible assets -

Comprise internally developed and acquired software licenses used by the Group. Acquired software licenses are measured upon initial recognition at cost and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life (between 3 and 5 years).

Intangible assets identified as a consequence of the acquisition of subsidiaries are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at their fair values determined on the acquisition date and are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful life as follows:

	Estimated useful life in years
Client relationship - Prima AFP (AFP Unión Vida)		20
Client relationship – Credicorp Capital Holding Chile (Inversiones IMT)		22
Client relationship - Edyficar Perú		10
Client relationship – Mibanco		7
Client relationship - Ultraserfinco		9.2
Brand - Mibanco		25
Brand - Culqi		5
Fund manager contract - Credicorp Capital Colombia	20 and 28
Fund manager contract - Credicorp Capital Holding Chile (Inversiones IMT)	11 and 24
Fund manager contract - Ultraserfinco		23
Core deposits - Mibanco		6
Others	Between 3 and 7.5

The period and the amortization method, for intangible assets are reviewed at the end of each period. If the expected useful life differs from previous estimates, the amortization period will be changed accordingly. If there has been a change in the expected pattern of conduct of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset, the amortization method shall be amended to reflect these changes.

Gains or losses arising from de-recognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the asset is derecognized.

Goodwill -

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to these units.

F-56

Content

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where 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.

Impairment of non-financial assets -

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indicator that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the value of the asset or the CGU less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for each individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from 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 less costs to sell, recent market transactions are considered, if any. If this kind of transactions cannot be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are verified against valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

For non-financial assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date of whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.

Due from customers on banker’s acceptances -

Due from customers on banker’s acceptances corresponds to accounts payable 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.

Financial guarantees -

In the ordinary course of business, the Group issues financial guarantees, such as letters of credit, guarantees and banker’s acceptances. Financial guarantees are initially recognized at fair value, which is equivalent to the commission initially received, also, letters of credit and guarantees are recorded in caption “Other liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position and banker’s acceptances are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in the consolidated statement of income, and the best estimate of expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the financial guarantee.

F-57

Content

Any increase in the liability relating to a financial guarantee is included in the consolidated statement of income. The commission received is recognized in “Commissions and fees” of the consolidated statement of income on a straight line basis over the life of the granted financial guarantee.

Provisions -

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle said obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.

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 current 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 finance cost.

Contingencies -

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in the Notes, unless the probability of an outflow of resources is remote. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements; they are disclosed if it is probable that an inflow of economic benefits will be realized.

Income tax -

Income tax is computed based on the individual financial statements of each of the Group’s members.

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 expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or eliminated. The measurement of deferred assets and deferred liabilities reflects the tax consequences that arise from the manner in which Credicorp and its Subsidiaries expect, at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities may change, even though there is no change in the amount of the related temporary differences, due to a change in the income tax rate. In this case, the resulting change in deferred tax, corresponding to the change in rate, will be recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items previously recognized outside of the consolidated income statement (either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the timing differences are likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is likely to exist sufficient tax benefits for the application of temporary difference. At the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, Credicorp and its Subsidiaries assess unrecognized deferred assets and the carrying amount of recognized deferred assets.

Credicorp and its Subsidiaries determine their deferred income tax based on the tax rate applicable to their undistributed earnings; any additional tax on dividend distribution is recorded on the date a liability is recognized.

F-58

Content

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal right of offset and the deferred taxes are related to the same taxpaying entity and the same tax authority.

Earnings per share -

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to Credicorp’s equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased and held as treasury stock, plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would have been issued if all potential ordinary shares with dilutive effect have been converted into ordinary shares.

Share-based payment transactions -

The cost of the Group’s remuneration plan is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (‘the vesting date”).

The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled liquidations at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense is recorded in “Salaries and employee benefits” of the consolidated statement of income.

When the terms of a share-based liquidation are modified, the minimum expense recognized is maintained as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or which is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

The dilutive effect of the shares granted under this plan is reflected as a share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share, see paragraph (w) above.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting -

Trading -

The Group negotiates derivative financial instruments in order to meet its costumers needs. The Group may also take positions with the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates or indexes.

Part of the transactions with derivatives, which provide effective economic hedges under the Group’s risk management positions, do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules of IFRS 9 and are, therefore, treated as trading derivatives.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position and subsequently are remeasured at fair value. Fair values are estimated based on the market exchange and interest rates. All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative. Gain and losses for changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

Hedging -

The Group uses derivative instruments to manage exposures to interest rate and foreign currency. In order to manage particular risks, the Group applies hedge accounting for transactions which meet the specified criteria.

F-59

Content

In accordance with IFRS 9, to qualify as hedging operations, all the following conditions must be met:

The coverage ratio consists only of hedging instruments and hedged items eligible.

At inception, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship, the risk management objective and strategy for using the hedge. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged and a description of how the Group assesses whether the hedging relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.

The hedge relationship meets all of the following hedge effectiveness requirements:

An economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument.

The effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from the 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 hedged item.

The accounting treatment is established based on the nature of the hedged item and compliance with hedging criteria.

Cash flow hedges -

The effective portion of the accumulated gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as part of other comprehensive income in “Cash flow hedge reserve” in the consolidated statement of changes in equity, and it is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income in the same period or periods in which the covered operation affects results; that is, when income or financial expenses related with coverage are registered, or when a forecasted transaction occurs.

The part of the gain or loss in derivatives that represents the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.

Amounts originally recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statement of income are registered as expenses or income in the cases in which the hedged item is reported.

If the forecasted transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve is transferred to the consolidated statement of income. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any unrealized accumulated gain or loss previously in the cash flow hedge reserve remains in said reserve until the planned transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss. At the same time, the derivative is recorded as a trading derivative.

ii)

Fair value hedges -

The change in the fair value of a fair value hedge and the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged are recorded as a part of the carrying value of the hedged item and recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, any adjustment to the carrying amount of these items, as a result of discontinuation of the hedge, will be amortized through the consolidated statement of income over the remaining life of the hedge. Amortization may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.

F-60

Content

If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income.

The hedge relationship is terminated when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated. For fair value hedges related to items recorded at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying value of the hedged item on termination and the face value is amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge using the effective interest rate. If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value adjustment is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income. At the same time, the derivative is recorded as a trading derivative.

iii)

Hedges of net investments in foreign businesses -

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recognized for in a similar manner to cash flow hedges.

Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument related to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the caption “Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations” of the consolidated statement of changes in net equity. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under “Other income” or “Other expenses”.

Accumulated gains and losses in the consolidated statement of changes in net equity are reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the net investment abroad is disposed or sold partially.

iv)

Embedded derivatives -

Derivatives embedded in host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract, and said host contract is not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group has investments indexed to certain life insurance contracts liabilities, denominated “Investment Link”. These instruments have been classified at inception by the Group as “Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss”, See Note 3(f)(iii) for the periods 2021 and 2020, and Note 8.

Fair value measurement -

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

In the absence of a principal market, in 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.

F-61

Content

If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction.

- Level 1:

Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

- Level 2:

Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

- Level 3:

Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

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 the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Also, fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost are disclosed in Note 34.7(b).

Segment reporting -

The Group reports financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. Reportable segments are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria.

Operating segments are a component of an entity for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the entity’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions about how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the same basis as it is used internally for evaluating operating segments’ performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments, Note 31.

ad)

International Financial Reporting Standards issued but not yet effective -

The Group decided not to early adopt the following standards and interpretations that were issued but are not effective as of December 31, 2021:

(i)

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” -

IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 in replacement of IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. This standard requires a current measurement model, where estimate are remeasured in each reporting period. The contracts are measured using the building blocks of:

Discounted- weighted of probability cash flows

An explicit risk adjustment, and

A contractual service margin which represents the unearned profit of the contract recognized as income over the coverage.

IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (life, non-life and reinsurance insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as certain guarantees and financial instruments with certain discretionary participation characteristics. The general objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model that is more useful and uniform for insurance entities. Unlike IFRS 4, which relies heavily on the application of existing / local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, which covers all relevant accounting aspects.

The standard permits a choice between recognizing the changes in discount rates, either in the statement of income or directly in other comprehensive income. The choice probably reflects how insurers record their financial assets according to IFRS 9.

An optional, simplified premium allocation approach is permitted for the liability for the remaining coverage for short duration contracts, which are often written by non-life insurers.

There is a modification of the general measurement model denominated “Variable commissions method” for certain contracts of insurers with life insurance in which the insured share the yields from the underlying elements. Upon applying the variable commissions’ method, the entity’s participation in changes in fair value of the underlying elements is included in the contractual service margin. Therefore, it is probable that the results of the insurers that use this model will be less volatile than under the general model.

The new rules will affect the financial statements and key performance indicators of all entities that issue insurance contracts or investment contracts with discretionary participation features.

Also, its implementation will modify the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts having a significant impact on the underlying valuation models, systems, processes, internal controls and other fundamental aspects of the insurance business.

The Group has established governance structures related to the IFRS 17 project with the Audit Committee as the highest instance. As required by the standard, currently, the entities that make up the Group are in the process of determining the impact of their application.

F-63

Content

Initially, IFRS 17 would apply to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021; however, the IASB agreed to defer the effective date of application to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

Early adoption is permitted, as long as the Group also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on the date on which IFRS 17 is applied for the first time.

The Group is currently evaluating the impact that this amendment may have on its consolidated financial statements.

(ii)

Amendment of IAS16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Product prior to use -

In May 2020, the Board of International Accounting Standards issued the Property, Plant and Equipment rule: Product prior to foreseen use, which prohibits companies from deducting from the cost of an article of Property, Plant and Equipment any product of the sale of articles produced while said asset is transported to the location and the conditions are adequate for it to operate in the manner foreseen by the administration. Instead, an entity must recognize the product of the sale of said articles and the costs of production of the same in the profit and loss statement.

These amendments go into effect on January 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to articles of property, plant and equipment that are made available for use on or after the beginning with the first period that the entity applied the amendment for the first time.

The Group is currently assessing the impact of this may have on the consolidated financial statements.

(iii)

Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the conceptual Framework -

Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business combinations to update references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Information and add an exception to recognize liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and the Interpretation IFRIC 21 Levies.

The amendments also confirm that contingent assessment should not be recognized on the date of acquisition.

The amendment will be in effect for annual periods reported on or after January 1, 2022.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment may have on the consolidated financial statements.

(iv)

Onerous Contracts - Cost of complying with a contract – Amendments to IAS37 -

In May 2020, the Board of International Standards for Accounting issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which cost an entity must include when assessing if a contract is onerous or generates losses.

The amendment to IAS37 clarifies that the direct costs of complying with a contract include both the incremental costs of complying with the contract and the assignment of other costs directly required to comply with the contracts. Prior to recognizing a separate provision for the onerous contract, the entity will recognize any loss for impairment that occurred relative to the assets used to comply with the contract.

The Amendment is effective for the annual periods reported begin inning on or after January 1, 2022.

F-64

Content

The Company will apply this amendment to contracts that have yet to comply with all their obligations by the beginning of the annual period reported, which will constitute the first time that said amendments are applied.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment may have on its consolidated financial statements.

(v)

Annual improvements to the IFRS Cycle 2018 - 2020 -

As part of its annual improvements 2018-2020 to the standard process of IFRS, in May 2020, the Board for International Accounting Standards issued the following amendments:

IFRS Financial Instruments – clarifies that commissions must be included in the test of 10.0 percent for derecognition of financial liabilities.

IFRS 16 Leasing – amendment to the illustrative example 13 to eliminate the example of lessor payment related to improvements in the object of leasing to eliminate any confusion regarding the treatment of leasing incentives.

IFRS 1 First-time adoption of international standards of financial information –permits entities that have measured their assets and liabilities at the value of registered books in their headquarters’ books to also measure any difference of accumulated conversion by using the amounts reported by headquarters. This amendment will also apply to associates and joint ventures that have taken the same expectation to IFRS 1.

IAS41 Agriculture – elimination of the requirement that entities exclude cash flows of taxes when it measures the reasonable value according to IAS41. This amendment’s objective is to align with the standard’s requirement to discount cash flows on an after-tax basis.

The amendments will be effective for reported annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with permissible anticipated adoption.

The Company will apply amendments related to financial liabilities. Leasing, which will be applied at or after the beginning of the annual reported period in which the entity first applied amendments.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment can have on consolidated financial statements.

(vi)

Amendment to IAS1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Not Current -

The amendments to IAS1 Presentation of Financial Statements clarifies that liabilities that classify as current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the period reported. The classification is not affected by the entity’s expectations or events subsequent to the date of presentation (for example, the reception of a dispensation or breach of agreement).

The amendments also clarify what IAS1 means when it refers to “liquidating” a liability. The amendments could affect the classification of liabilities, particularly for entities that previously considered managements’ intentions to determine the classification and some liabilities may become equity.

Amendments must be applied retroactively in accordance with the normal requirement of IAS8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.

F-65

Content

In May 2020, IASB issued a Proposed Standard to postpone the date that amendments go into effect until January 2023.

Amendments are effective for annual reported periods on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment may have on the consolidated financial statements.

(vii)

Disclosure of accounting policies – Amendments to IAS 1 and the Practice Statement 2 –

Originally, the IAS stipulated that “significant” accounting policies must be divulged. With this amendment, there is a specification that disclosure must be for “material” accounting policies. This amendment incorporates the definition of what is considered “information on material accounting policies” and explains how to identify this type of information. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that it is not necessary to divulge information on immaterial accounting policies and if the same is divulged, it should not create confusion about what truly constitutes important accounting information. Consistently, Practice Statement 2 was also amended to express judgements on materiality to provide a guide to apply the concept of materiality in accounting policy disclosures.

These amendments will go into effect for the annual period reported beginning on or before January 1, 2023 and anticipated adoption is permitted.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(viii)

Amendments to IAS 8 – Definition of accounting estimates -

This amendment clarifies how to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The distinction is important when defining accounting treatment given that changes in accounting estimates recognize future transactions and events prospectively while changes in accounting policies generally apply to past transactions and events retroactively, as is the case with the current period.

Amendments will be in effect for the annual periods reported beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and anticipated adoption is permitted.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(ix)

Amendments to IAS 12, Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities that arise from a single transaction -

These amendments indicate that deferred taxes that arise from a single transaction should be recognized if, in their initial recognition, temporary taxable differences and deductibles for the same value arise. This will generally apply to transactions such as leasing (for lessees) and obligation to dismantle or remediate in those situations that will require

recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These amendments must apply to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the comparative period presented. Additionally, it is necessary to recognize deferred tax assets (to the extent that it is probable that they will be utilized) and deferred tax liabilities at the beginning of the first comparative period for all deductible or taxable temporary differences associated with:

Assets for rights of use and leasing liabilities, and

Liabilities for dismantling, restoration and similar and the corresponding contributions are recognized as part of the cost of related assets.

F-66

Content

The accumulated effect of these adjustments is recognized in accumulated results or through another component of equity as applicable.

Previously, IAS 12 stipulated no particular accounting treatment for the tax effects of leasing that are recognized in the balance and for similar transactions; as such, different approaches are considered acceptable. The entities that are already recognizing deferred taxes on these transactions will not see impacts on their financial statements.

Amendments will be in effect for the annual reported periods beginning or after January 1, 2023 and anticipated adoption is permitted.

The Group is currently assessing the impact that this amendment may have on their consolidated financial statements.

(x)

Amendment to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or distribution of assets between an investor and its associated business or joint venture –

IASB has amendments that are limited in scope to IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in associated businesses and joint ventures.”

The amendments clarify the accounting treatment of sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associated businesses or joint ventures. It also confirms that the accounting treatment will depend on whether the non-monetary assets sold or contributed to an associated business or joint venture constitute a “business” (according to the definition in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”). When non-monetary assets constitute a business, the investor will recognize the gain or total loss stemming from the sale or contribution of assets. If assets do not comply with the definition of business, the gain or loss is recognized by the investor solely in proportion to the investment of other investors in the associated business or joint venture. These amendments will apply prospectively.

In December 2015, IASB decided to postpone the date of application of this amendment until research on the equity method is concluded.

Amendments will be in effect for annual reported periods on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied retrospectively to articles relative to property, plant and equipment that are made available for use on or after the beginning of the first period in which the entity applies the business” (amendment applied for the first time).

The Group believes that these changes will not be applied.

Likewise, there are no other standards or amendments to standards which have not yet become effective and are expected to have a significant impact on the Group, either in the current or future periods, as well as on expected future transactions.

The Management of Credicorp has determined that the unrealized losses on investment at fair value through other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are of a temporary nature, considering factors such as intended strategy in relation with the identified security or portfolio, its underlying collateral and credit rating of the issuers. During 2021, as a result of assessment of the impairment of its investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group recorded a credit loss provision of S/6.8 million (provision of credit loss of S/52.3 million during 2020), which is shown in “Net gain on securities”, see note 24, in the consolidated statement of income. Also, Management has decided and has the ability to hold each investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value, until the earlier of its anticipated recovery or maturity.

The movement of the “Reserve for investments at fair value through other comprehensive income” net of deferred income tax and non-controlling interest, is shown in Note 18(c).

It is worth mentioning the largest unrealized loss compared to the balance in 2020 is due to the political uncertainty of the country and to the downgrade of credit ratings of some bonds. See Note 2(c).

(i)

As of December 31, 2021, said bonds have maturities between January 2022 and February 2042, accruing interest at an annual effective interest rate between 3.62 percent and 6.77 percent on bonds denominated in soles, between 0.71 percent and 4.50 percent on bonds denominated in US dollar, and between 0.00 percent and 2.96 percent annual on bonds issued in other currencies (as of December 31, 2020, have maturities between January 2021 and February 2042, accruing interest at an annual effective interest rate between 0.74 percent and 5.06 percent on bonds denominated in soles and between 0.00 percent and 3.05 percent on bonds issued in other currencies).

It is worth mentioning that the instruments with an interest rate of 0.00 percent corresponds to bonds issued by the Colombian Government, whose issue indicators on the date of acquisition were at very low levels; however, MiBanco Colombia invested in these instruments because it is a Colombian company that must invest in them according to local regulations, with the objective that the funds acquired by the Colombian Government are destined for the development and incentive of certain economic sectors.

(*)

The movement includes the following effects: (i) calibrations to the PD, LGD and EAD models; (ii) updates to macroeconomic models and projections; (iii) increase or decrease of credit risk of loans due to stage changes; (iv) increase or decrease of credit risk of loans that remain in the same stage.

(**)

The movement in the allowance for loan losses of the period 2021 includes the allowance for direct and indirect loans for approximately S/8,477.3 million y S/593.7 million, respectively (approximately S/9,898.8 million and S/536.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020). The expected loan loss for indirect loan is included in “Other liabilities” of the consolidated statement of financial position, Note 13(a). 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 is sufficient to cover losses on the loan portfolio.

Gross balance of direct loans, indirect loans and from customers on banker’s acceptances portfolio:

As of December 31, 2021, the gross balance of direct and indirect loans increased compared to December 31, 2020. This was mainly driven by disbursement in the Wholesale Banking portfolio of BCP Stand-alone, due to the economic reactivation after the Pandemic. Microbusiness is the only segment where the loans decreased, due to operations that were reclassified as Commercial loans. In addition, approximately 800.0 million soles migrated from Commercial loans to Consumer loans, because ASB started to comply with Panamá regulation.

Additionally, it is important to note there have been significant movements between stages, due to the end of the grace period of loans disbursed under the program Reactiva Perú, part of which went from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or Stage 3 depending on the increase in their level of credit risk. In addition, a considerable amount of the impairments generated by the Pandemic have materialized, moving to Stage 3. This was partially offset by the high volume of write-offs registered in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco Perú.

Allowance for loan losses from direct loans, indirect loans and from customers on banker’s acceptances:

As of December 31, 2021, the gross balance of direct and indirect loans decreased compared to December 31, 2020. This was mainly driven by: (i) calibrations of the internal credit risk models, both PD and LGD, which generated a decrease in Stage 1 and 2, which was partially offset by updates to macroeconomic models and projections; (ii) high volume of write-offs, which generated a decrease in Stage 3, mostly due to the impairments generated by the Pandemic, mainly in BCP Stand-alone and Mibanco Perú.

The explanation of the calibrations made to the internal credit risk models is detailed on the note 34.1(c).

8	FINANCIAL ASSETS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

The Group issues Investment Link life insurance contracts whereby the policyholder takes the investment risk on the assets held in the Investment Link funds as the policy benefits are directly linked to the value of the assets in the fund. The Group’s exposure to market risk is limited to the extent that income arising from asset management charges is based on the value of assets in the fund.

The profit resulting from these assets is shown in “Net premiums earned” in the consolidated statement of income. The composition of the generated returns is presented below:

	2021		2020
	S/(000)		S/(000)

Net profit on sale and fluctuations of financial investments		44,763		106,366
Dividends, interests and others		9,900		9,261
Total		54,663		115,627

As of December 31, 2021, financial markets have been affected by the fluctuations that occurred after the appearance of the new variants of COVID-19 (Delta and Omicron, mainly), generating an increase in the number of infections at a global level together with the implementation of restrictions and confinements in most countries amid doubts about the degree of transmissibility and resistance to vaccines. Despite this, economic indicators remained strong, reflecting the global economic recovery, generating negative results in equities and slightly negative results in fixed income. In addition, one of the concerns generated by this was the substantial increase in inflation across the board, which resulted in announcements of the withdrawal of monetary stimuli by the different central banks and an increase in interest rates.

At the date of this report, there has been a recovery of the global indices, and what Credicorp seeks is to control the volatility of the portfolio in order to minimize the losses of our clients in these difficult times.

The offsetting of this effect is included in the technical reserve adjustment, which is part of the item “Net premiums earned” of the consolidated statement of income, see Note 25.

Goodwill -

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to each subsidiary or groups of them, which are also identified as a CGU for the purposes of impairment testing, as follows:

Crediseguro Seguros Personales		96		96
Net carrying amount		796,859		820,899

The recoverable amount of all of the CGUs has been determined based in the present value of the discounted cash flows or dividends determined principally with assumptions of revenue and expenses projection (based on efficiency ratios).

Goodwill balance from Credicorp Holding Colombia (due to the acquisition of Credicorp Capital Colombia S.A and Banco Compartir S.A.) and Krealo SpA (due to the acquisition of Tenpo SpA and Multicaja Prepago S.A.) are affected by the volatility effect of the local exchange rate currency of the country in which they operate against the exchange rate of functional currency of Credicorp Ltd and subsidiaries.

During 2021, the group didn’t register an impairment. During 2020, the Group recorded a gross impairment loss amounting to S/64.0 million for MiBanco Colombia (before Banco Compartir S.A.) as a result of its assessment of the recoverable amount (S/54.0 million of impairment correspond to the participation of Credicorp and 10.0 million correspond to the minority participation). For the determination this impairment, a fair value of 366,691 Colombian Pesos was estimated, equivalent to US$95.7 million, and a book value of 434,825 Colombian Pesos, equivalent to US$113.4 million. For the estimation, a discount rate of 13.2 percent and a growth rate in perpetuity of 4.0 percent were used as assumptions. Likewise, payments from 2021 to 2025 of 0.0 percent, 98.0 percent, 94.0 percent, 94.0 percent and 80.0 percent, respectively, and a perpetual payment of 80.0 percent, have been considered. Finally, the dividend tax rate considered has been 10.0 percent and the exchange rate of the Colombian Peso to the dollar was 3.833.

The following table summarizes the key assumptions used for the calculation of fair value fewer selling costs in 2021 and 2020:

	2021
Description	Terminal value growth rate		Discount rate
	%		%
MiBanco - Edyficar Perú		3.00		11.78

	%		%
MiBanco - Edyficar Perú		3.00		12.19
Prima AFP - AFP Unión Vida		1.00		11.43
Credicorp Capital Colombia		3.80		12.62
Banco de Crédito del Perú		5.00		10.93

Atlantic Security Holding Corporation		2.00		11.29
Mibanco Colombia - Bancompartir		4.00		13.20
Tenpo		5.00		25.00
Compañía Incubadora de Soluciones Móviles S.A - Culqi		5.00		25.00

(*) As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, it corresponds to the discount rates used to determine the recoverable value of the cash flows that correspond to the general and life insurance business lines.

Five or ten years of cash flows, depending on the business maturity, were included in the discounted cash flow model. The growth rate estimates are based on historic performance and management’s expectations of market development. A long-term growth rate to perpetuity has been determined taking into account forecasts included in industry reports.

Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the specific risks to each CGU. The discount rate is derived from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). The cost of equity is derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors, specific risk incorporated by applying individual comparable beta factors adjusted by the debt structure of each CGU and country and market specific risk premiums to each CGU. The beta factors are evaluated annually based on publicly available market data.

The key assumptions described above may change if the conditions of the economy and market change. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group estimates that reasonably possible changes in these assumptions would not cause the recoverable amount of all CGUs to decline below their carrying amount.

Total		2,050,474		9,624,602		11,675,076

(*) As of December 31, 2021, the life insurance technical reserves include the mathematical reserves of income amounting to S/6,759.7 million (S/ 6,806.1 million as of December 31, 2020).

Insurance claims reserves represent reported claims and an estimate for incurred but non reported claims (IBNR). Reported claims are adjusted on the basis of technical reports received from independent adjusters.

Insurance claims to be paid by reinsurers and co-insurers represent ceded claims, which are presented in “Accounts receivable from reinsurers and coinsurers” of the consolidated statement of financial position, See note 9(b).

As of December 31, 2021, the reserves for direct claims include reserves for IBNR for life, general and health insurance for an amount of S/825.0 million, S/38.9 million y S/109.9 million, respectively (S/602.7 million, S/42.5 million and S/125.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020).

The increase in reserves is mainly due to the mortality experienced due to COVID-19. Thus, the increase in the technical reserve for claims corresponds to the effect experienced by the business lines due to increases in the reserve amount for outstanding claims due to Over mortality and IBNR. Likewise, the increase in technical reserves for premiums is mainly due to the increase due to new sales in the Income line.

F-108

Content

As of December 31, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IBNR reserves were calculated in two parts: a) IBNR reserve for regular claims and b) IBNR reserve for expected excess mortality (deaths above the average number of cases months pre-pandemic).

In the case of general and health risks, the retrospective analysis indicates that the amounts accrued are adequate and in Management’s opinion, the estimate of the reserve for IBNR is enough to cover any obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In the case of Medical Assistance (AMED for its acronym in Spanish), the IBNR estimate included the estimate of regular claims and also the IBNR estimate for COVID-19 claims, which had a different frequency and cost than regular claims. See Note 3(e)(ii).

In general, claims reserves have been estimated using prudential criteria due to the uncertainty in the loss ratio caused by the pandemic that began in 2020.

Technical reserves include reserves for obligations for future benefits under insurance of life and personal accidents in force; and the unearned premium reserves in respect of the portion of premiums written that is allocable to the unexpired portion of the related policy periods of related coverage.

The increase in technical reserves for premiums is mainly due to the increase in sales.

(i)

As of December 31, 2021, the variation corresponds mainly to a change in the methodology in the reinvestment rate (purchase at market) and the increase in investment rates at market, generating a greater release of reserves compared to 2020 (at a higher rate of discount, the reserves constituted are lower). As of December 31, 2020, the increase corresponds mainly to the reduction of investment rates to market.

The main assumptions used to estimate of retirement, disability and survival annuities and individual life reserves are as follows:

	2021		2020
Mortality	Mortality table	Technical rates	Mortality table	Technical rates
Annuities	SPP-S-2017 and SPP-I- 2017	Investment Rates: Between 3.75% - 8.02% Reinvestment Rates: Between 2.5% - 5.25%	SPP-S-2017 and SPP-I- 2017	Investment Rates: Between 3.21% - 7.96% Reinvestment Rates: Between 2.50% - 5.25%

The sensitivity of the estimates used by the Group to measure its insurance risks is represented primarily by the life insurance risks; the main variables as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, are the interest rates and the mortality tables used. The Group has evaluated the changes in its most significant reserves related to life insurance contracts included in retirement, disability and survival annuities reserves of +/- 100 bps of the interest rates and of +/- 5 bps of the mortality factors, with the following results:

It is important to mention that the Peruvian Tax Authority is auditing the Income Tax declaration of 2015 and 2016 to 2017 of MiBanco and Banco de Crédito del Perú, respectively.

The Tax Authority concluded the audit of Banco de Crédito del Perú for the years 2014 and 2015, obtaining satisfactory results.

The annual income tax declarations pending examination by the overseas tax authorities are the following:

Banco de Crédito de Bolivia	2016 to 2020
Credicorp Capital Colombia	2016 to 2020
Credicorp Capital Holding Chile	2019 to 2020

Since tax regulations are subject to interpretation by the different Tax Authorities where Credicorp’s subsidiaries are located, it is not possible to determine at the present date whether any significant additional liabilities may arise from any eventual tax examinations of the Credicorp’s subsidiaries. Any resulting unpaid taxes, tax penalties or interest that may arise will be recognized as expenses in the year in which they are determined. However, Management of Credicorp and its Subsidiaries and their legal counsel consider that any additional tax assessments would not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

21	OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS

This item consists of the following:

	2021		2020
	S/(000)		S/(000)

Contingent credits – indirect loans (b)
Guarantees and standby letters		20,455,238		18,562,120
Import and export letters of credit		2,459,105		2,411,690

Responsibilities under credit line agreements (c)		88,382,322		86,074,859
Total		111,296,665		107,048,669

Reference values of operations with derivatives are recorded in off-balance sheet accounts in the committed currency, as shown in note 13(c).

In the normal course of their business, the Group’s banking subsidiaries are party to transactions with off-balance sheet risk. These transactions expose them to credit risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Credit risk for contingent credits is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because one of the parties to a financial instrument fails to comply with the terms of the contract. The risk of credit losses is represented by the contractual amounts specified in the related contracts. The Group applies the same credit policies in making contingent commitments and other obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments (Note 7(a)), including the requirement to obtain collateral when it is deemed necessary.

Collateral held varies, but may include deposits in financial institutions, securities or other assets. Many of the contingent transactions reach maturity without any performance being required; therefore, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Lines of credit include consumer loans and other consumer loan facilities (credit card receivables) granted to customers and are cancelable upon related notice to the customer.

The operating results of the Group’s new business lines are monitored separately by the Board of Directors and Senior Management on a monthly basis, in order to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the evaluation of the performance of each one of the segments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) of Credicorp is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The performance of the segments is evaluated based on the operating profits or losses and is measured consistently with the operating profits and losses presented in the consolidated statement of income.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 and 2020 include transactions with related companies, the Board of Directors, the Group’s key executives (defined as the Management of Credicorp) and the companies which are controlled by these individuals through their majority shareholding or their role as Chairman or CEO.

The following table presents the main transactions and balances with related parties and individuals as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	2021			2020

Derivatives at fair value		2,325			4,408

(i)

During the year 2021, the balance includes mainly S/183.3 million of corporate bonds, S/178.6 million of corporate bonds issued by Cementos Pacasmayo S.A., S/137.7 million of shares of Alicorp S.A.A. and S/184.8 million of shares of Inversiones Centenario. The decrease in the balance corresponds mainly to the fluctuation that negatively affected the investments in shares of Inversiones Centenario and Alicorp S.A.A.A.

During the year 2020, the balance mainly includes S/208.2 million of corporate bonds and S/120.9 million of Alicorp S.A.A. shares, S174.4 million of corporate bonds issued by Cementos Pacasmayo S.A., and S/196.5 million of Inversiones Centenario shares.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the balance corresponds mainly to Inversiones Piuranas S.A., Cementos Pacasmayo S.A.A. and Grupo Piurano de Inversiones S.A. and the decrease in deposits in 2021 with respect to 2020 is due to the fact that these entities carried out fewer operations.

	2021			2020
	S/(000)			S/(000)
Statement of income
Interest income related to loans		39,603			57,373

Other income		10,243			24,411

Off-balance sheet
Indirect loans		459,562			431,089

The decrease in interest accrued on loans is mainly due to the fact that the loans for the 2021 period have already matured and been cancelled. Likewise, the decrease in deposits and interest expense decreased in the same proportion as a result of entities withdrawing loans received as demand deposits. Finally, as a result of the decrease in the operations of related entities, the variation in other income is evidenced mainly by the entity Inversiones Centenario S.A.A.A.

All transactions with related parties are made in accordance with normal market conditions available to other customers. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, direct loans to related companies are secured by collateral, had maturities between January 2022 an March 2029, at an annual soles average interest rate of 6.37 percent and at an annual foreign currency average interest rate of 4.03 percent (as of December 31, 2020, maturities between January 2021 an March 2036, at an annual soles average interest rate of 5.33 percent and at an annual foreign currency average interest rate of 4.45 percent).

Risk appetite -

Based on corporate risk management, Grupo Crédito’s Board of Directors approves the risk appetite framework to define the maximum level of risk that the organization is willing to take as it seeks its strategic and financial objectives, maintaining a corporate vision in individual decisions of each entity. This Risk Appetite framework is based on “core” and specific metrics:

F-149

Content

“Core” metrics are intended to preserve the organization’s strategic pillars, defined as solvency, liquidity, profit and growth, income stability and balance sheet structure.

Specific metrics objectives are intended to monitor on a qualitative and quantitative basis the various risks, to which the Group is exposed, as well as defining a tolerance threshold of each of those risks, so the risk profile set by the Board is preserved and any risk focus is anticipated on a more granular basis.

Risk appetite is instrumented through the following elements:

Risk appetite statement: Establishes explicit general principles and the qualitative declarations which complement the risk strategy.

Metrics scorecards: These are used to define the levels of risk exposure in the different strategic pillars.

Limits: Allows control over the risk-taking process within the tolerance threshold established by the Board. They also provide accountability for the risk-taking process and define guidelines regarding the target risk profile.

Government scheme: Seeks to guarantee compliance of the framework through different roles and responsibilities assigned to the units involved.

The appetite is integrated into the processes of strategic and capital guidelines, as well as in the definition of the annual budget, facilitating the strategic decision making of the organization.

Risk concentration -

Concentrations arise when a reduced and representative number of all of the counterparties of the Group are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic and political conditions among others.

In order to avoid excessive concentrations of risk, the policies and procedures include specific guidelines and limits to guarantee a diversified portfolio.

34.1	Credit risk -

The Group takes on exposure to credit risk, which is the probability of suffering losses caused by debtors or counterparties failing to comply with payment obligations in on or off the balance sheet exposures.

Credit risk is the most important risk for the Group’s business; therefore, Management carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit exposures arise principally from lending activities that lead to direct loans; they also result from investment activities. There is also credit risk in off-balance sheet financial instruments, such as contingent credits (indirect loans and due from customers on acceptances), which expose Credicorp to risks similar to direct loans. Likewise, credit risk arises from derivative financial instruments that present positive fair values. Finally, all exposure to credit risk (direct or indirect) is mitigated by the control processes and policies.

As part of managing this type of risk, provisions for impairment of its portfolio are assigned as of the date of the statement of financial position.

F-150

Content

Credit risk levels are defined based on risk exposure limits, which are frequently monitored. Said limits are established in relation to one borrower or group of borrowers, geographical and industry segments. Furthermore, the risk limits by product, industry sector and by geographical segment are approved by the Risk Committee of Credicorp.

Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of debtors and potential debtors to meet interest and principal repayment obligations and by changing the credit limits when it is appropriate. Other specific control measures are outlined below:

(i)

Collateral -

The Group employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is collateralization which is common practice. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation. The main types of collateral obtained are as follows:

For loans and advances, collateral includes, among others, mortgages on residential properties; liens on business assets such as plants, inventory and accounts receivable; and liens on financial instruments such as debt securities and equity securities.

Long-term loans and financing to corporate entities are generally guaranteed. Loans to micro business generally have no collateral. In order to minimize credit loss, the Group will seek additional collateral from the counterparty as soon as impairment indicators arise.

For repurchase agreements and securities lending, collateral consists of fixed income instruments, cash and loans.

Collateral held as security for financial assets other than loans is determined by the nature of the instrument. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured, with the exception of assets backed securities and similar instruments, which are secured by portfolios of financial instruments.

Management monitors the market value of collateral, requests additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement, and monitors the market value of collateral obtained during its review of the adequacy of the allowance for impairment losses. As part of the Group’s policies, the recovered goods are sold in seniority order. The proceeds of the sale are used to reduce or amortize the outstanding credit. In general, the Group does not use recovered assets for its operational purposes.

(ii)

Derivatives -

The amount subject to credit risk is limited to the current and potential fair value of instruments that are favorable to the Group (fair value is positive). In the case of derivatives this is only a small fraction of the contract, or notional values used to express the volume of instruments outstanding. This credit risk exposure is managed as a portion of the total credit limits with customers, together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for this type of risk exposure.

(iii)

Credit-related commitments -

The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and letters of credit have the same credit risk as direct loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit - which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions - are collateralized by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate and therefore have less risk than a direct loan. The Group has no mandatory commitments to extend credit.

F-151

Content

The maximum exposure to credit risk as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, before the effect of mitigation through any collateral, is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets indicated in Notes 34.10(a), 34.10(b) and the contingent credits detailed in Note 21(a).

Management is confident of its ability to continue controlling and maintaining minimal credit risk exposure within the Group, considering both its loan and securities portfolio.

Credit risk management for loans -

Credit risk management is mainly based on the rating and scoring internal models of each company of the Group. In Credicorp, quantitative and qualitative analysis are made for each client, regarding their financial position, credit behavior in the financial system and the market in which they operate or are located. This analysis is carried out continuously to characterize the risk profile of each operation and client with a credit position in the Group.

In the Group, a loan is internally classified as past due according to three criteria: the number of days past due based on the contractually agreed due date, the subsidiary and the type of credit. The detail is shown below:

–

Banco de Crédito del Perú, Mibanco y Solución Empresa Administradora Hipotecaria internally classify a loan as past due

For corporate, large and medium companies, when it has more than 15 days in arrears.

For small and microbusiness when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

For overdrafts when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

For consumer, mortgage and leasing operations, installments are internally classified as past due when they are between 30 and 90 days in arrears; after 90 days, the pending loan balance is considered past due.

–

Mibanco Colombia internally classifies a loan as past due:

For commercial loans when it has more than 90 days in arrears.

For microbusiness loans when it has more than 60 days in arrears.

For consumer loans when it has more than 60 days in arrears.

For mortgage loans when it has more than 30 days in arrears.

–

Atlantic Bank Corp. internally classifies a loan as past due when it has 1 or more days in arrears.

–

Banco de Crédito de Bolivia internally classifies a loan as past due when it has 30 or more days in arrears.

Estimate of the expected credit loss -

The measurement of the expected credit loss is based on the product of the following risk parameters: (i) probability of default (PD), (ii) loss given default (LGD), and (iii) exposure at default (EAD); discounted at the reporting date using the effective interest rate. The definition of the parameters is presented below:

–

Probability of default (PD): this is a measurement of credit rating given internally to a client, designed to estimate their probability of default within a specific time horizon. The process of obtaining the PD is carried out through scoring and rating tools.

F-152

Content

The Group considers that a financial instrument is in default if it meets the following conditions, according to the type of asset:

Consumer products, credit card and SME: if the client, at some certain point, presents arrears equal to or greater than 60 days and/or has operations that are refinanced, restructured, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off.

Mortgage products: if the client, at some certain point, presents arrears equal to or greater than 120 days and/or has operations that are refinanced, restructured, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off.

Commercial products: if the client, at some certain point, is in the Collections portfolio, or has a risk classification of Deficient, Doubtful or Loss, or has operations that are refinanced, in pre-judicial, judicial proceedings or written off. Also, a client can be considered as default if it shows signs of significant qualitative impairment.

Investments: if the instrument has a default rating according to external rating agencies such as Fitch, Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, or if it has an indicator of arrears equal to or greater than 90 days. In addition, an issuer can be considered as default if it shows signs of significant qualitative impairment or if it is in default according to the definition for Commercial products. When an issuer is classified as default, all its instruments are also classified as Default, that is, in stage 3.

–

Loss given default (LGD): this is a measurement which estimates the severity of the loss that would be incurred at the time of the default. It has two approaches in the estimate of the severity of the loss, according to the stage of the client:

LGD workout: this is the real loss of the clients that arrived at the stage of default. The recoveries and costs of each one of the operations are used to calculate this parameter (includes open and closed recovery processes).

LGD ELBE (expected loss best estimate): this is the loss of the contracts in a default situation based on the time in arrears of the operation (the longer the operation is in default, the greater will be the loss).

–

Exposure at default (EAD): this is a measurement which estimates the exposure at the time of the client’s default, considering changes in future exposure, for example, in the case of prepayments and/or greater utilization of unused credit lines.

The estimate of the risk parameters considers information regarding the actual conditions, as well as the projections of future macroeconomic events and conditions in three scenarios (base, optimistic and pessimistic), which are weighted to obtain the expected credit loss.

The fundamental difference between the expected credit loss of a loan allocated in stage 1 and stage 2 is the PD’s time horizon. The estimates in stage 1 use a PD with a maximum time horizon of 12 months, while those in stage 2 use a PD measured for the remaining lifetime of the instrument. The estimates in stage 3 are carried out based on an LGD “best estimate”.

For those portfolios that are not material and/or do not have specific credit scoring models, the option was to extrapolate the expected credit loss ratio of portfolios with comparable characteristics.

The main methodological calibrations made in the internal credit risk models during 2021 were:

Therefore, we began again to use actual customer payment records to measure credit risk in some segments. First, in Consumer loans, and then in the Mortgage and SME segments, also considering the additional political uncertainty. BCP ended 2021 with models in which more than 90% of the retail portfolio and around two thirds of the SME portfolio (without considering Reactiva Perú loans) is calibrated using historical default rates.

F-153

Content

Prospective information -

The measurement of the expected credit loss for each stage and the evaluation of significant increase in credit risk consider information on previous events and current conditions, as well as reasonable projections based on future events and economic conditions.

For the estimate of the risk parameters (PD, LGD, EAD), used in the calculation of the expected credit loss in stages 1 and 2, the significance of the macroeconomic variables (or their variations) that have the greatest influence on each portfolio was tested. Each macroeconomic scenario used in the estimate of the expected credit loss considers projections of relevant macroeconomic variables, such as the gross domestic product (GDP), employment, terms of trade, inflation rate, among others, for a period of 3 years and a long-term projection.

The expected credit loss for stages 1, 2 and 3 is a weighted estimate that considers three future macroeconomic scenarios (base, optimistic and pessimistic). These scenarios, as well as the probability of occurrence of each one, are projections provided by the internal team of Economic Studies and approved by the Senior Management. The scenario design is revised quarterly. All the scenarios considered apply to the portfolios subject to expected credit loss with the same probabilities.

Changes from one stage to another

The classification of an instrument as stage 1 or stage 2 depends on the concept of “significant increase in credit risk” at the reporting date compared to the origin date. This classification is updated monthly. As the IFRS 9 states, this classification depends on the following criteria:

An account is classified in stage 2 if it has more than 30 days in arrears.

Additionally, significant risk thresholds were established based on absolute and relative thresholds that depend on the risk level in which the instrument was originated. The thresholds differ for each of the portfolios considered.

Additional qualitative reviews are carried out based on the risk segmentation used in the management of Retail Banking and an individual review is carried out in Wholesale Banking.

Additionally, all those accounts classified as default at the reporting date, according to the definition used by the Group, are considered as stage 3.

Evaluations of significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition and credit impairment are carried out independently on each reporting date. Assets can be moved in both directions from one stage to another; in this sense, a financial asset that migrated to stage 2 will return to stage 1 if its credit risk did not increase significantly from its initial recognition until a subsequent reporting period. Likewise, an asset that is in stage 3 will return to stage 2 if the asset is no longer considered to be impaired.

Expected life -

For the instruments in stage 2 or 3, the allowance for loan losses will cover the expected credit loss during the expected time of the remaining lifetime of the instrument. For most instruments, the expected life is limited to the remaining contractual life, adjusted by expected anticipated payments. In the case of revolving products, a statistical analysis was carried out to determine what would be the expected life period.

F-154

Content

The following is a summary of the direct credits classified into three important groups and their respective allowance for loan losses for each type of loan; it is important to note that impaired loans are loans in default that are in stage 3. Additionally, it should be noted that, in accordance with IFRS 7, the total balance of the loan is considered overdue when the debtor has failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity.

(i)

Loans neither past due nor impaired, which comprise those direct loans which currently do not have characteristics of delinquency and which are not in default.

(ii)

Past due but not impaired loans, which comprise all of the direct loans of customers who are not in default but have failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity, according to IFRS 7.

(iii)

Impaired loans, those direct loans considered to be in stage 3 or default, as detailed in note 34.1(c).

The general explanation of the variations in the allowance for loan losses is found in note 7(c).

At Credicorp, we separate renegotiated loans into two groups, focusing on operations that have suffered a significant increase in credit risk since their disbursement, which has generated modifications to the original loan agreement. Both groups are defined below:

Refinanced loans: are those loans that have undergone modifications in the initial loan agreement (term and interest rate), according to the accounting definition.

Renegotiated loans due to the COVID-19 pandemic: are those loans for which, due to the pandemic, the SBS and other local regulators have established that certain benefits be granted, and that Credicorp has also voluntarily granted to its clients (grace periods, debt consolidation, etc.), which were not in the initial credit agreements.

Below is the amount of gross portfolio balance and allowance for loan losses for Credicorp’s renegotiated loans. The presentation is made for each of the two groups defined above and by opening the balances by stage. It should be noted that for the construction of the tables, the information of the three subsidiaries that concentrate more than 95.0 percent of the balance of renegotiated loans (BCP, Mibanco and BCB) has been considered.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, renegotiated loans and their expected credit loss are composed as follows:

On the other hand, the breakdown of direct loans classified by maturity is shown below, according to the following criteria:

(i)

Current loans, which comprise those direct loans which do not currently have characteristics of delinquency, nor are they in default or stage 3, according to the rules of IFRS 9.

(ii)

Current but impaired loans, which comprise those direct loans which do not currently have characteristics of delinquency, but are in default or stage 3, according to IFRS 9.

(iii)

Loans with payment delay of one day or more but that are not past due according to our internal guidelines, which comprise those direct loans of customers who have failed to make a payment at its contractual maturity, that is, with at least one day past-due. However, the days of delinquency are insufficient to be considered as past due under the Group’s internal criteria.

(iv)

Past due loans under internal criteria.

The total of the concepts: loans with a delay of payment from the first day and the amounts of the internal overdue loans reflect the totality of “past due” loans consistent with IFRS 7.

The expected credit loss for direct loans, indirect loans and due from customers on banker’s acceptances is a weighted estimate of three macroeconomic scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic, that are based on macroeconomic projections provided by the internal team of Economic Studies and approved by Senior Management. In each scenario, the Group bases itself on a wide variety of prospective information such as economic inputs, including the growth of the gross domestic product (GDP), employment, terms of trade, inflation rate, among others.

Macroeconomic scenario -

The expected credit loss is a weighted estimate of three macroeconomic scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic, that are calculated with macroeconomic projections provided by the internal team of Economic Studies and approved by the Senior Management. The local and international information flows available during the analysis period are used to feed projections, which reflect the fact that Perú is a small and open economy, and in this context approximately 60.0 percent of the volatility in economic growth is driven by external factors, including terms of trade, the growth of Peru’s trading partners and the external interest rates. Information on each of these factors is gathered to construct each scenario for the next three years.

The variables mentioned above, together with local variables (fiscal and monetary variables), are incorporated in the economic models. Two types of models are used in this regard:

(i)

Structural projection model.

(ii)

Financial programming model.

The first is a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, which is constructed with expectations. The second is built with the main identities of national accounts in accordance with the financial programming methodology designed by the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and the methodologies used by a battery of econometric models.

Through this process, we obtain figures for GDP growth, inflation, exchange rate and other variables for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Thus, we estimate the economy to rebound around 13.0 percent in 2021 (real figure of 2020: (11.0) percent). The economy in 2021 has proved a greater than expected resilience amid the recovery of our main trading partners, increase of the terms of trade (its highest level in almost 50 years), combined with expansionary monetary and fiscal policies, as well as withdrawals of Pension Funds and Work Compensation Funds (CTS), allowing real GDP growing about +1.0 percent compared to 2019 level.

We estimate the economy to rebound 2.5 percent in the year 2022 (2.0 percent in the previous estimation) and 1.7 percent in the year 2023 (same to the previous estimation) given the greater resilience and higher inertia exhibited in 2021:

If the seasonally adjusted level achieved in the third quarter of 2021 is held constant throughout 2022, real GDP would grow by around 1.0 percent in the year 2022. On the other hand, if the seasonally adjusted level reached in the second quarter of 2021 is kept constant throughout 2022, GDP would grow around 0.0 percent in the year 2022. In other words, the growth inertia already observed between in the third quarter of 2021 respect the second quarter of the same year would contribute 1.0 percentage points to 2022 real GDP growth, largely explaining our upward revision.

We believe that private investment will fall by around (2.5) percent in the year 2022, but less than our former (7.0) percent forecast from a few months ago. Even if private investment were to remain flat or stagnant throughout 2022 at the seasonally adjusted level reached in the third quarter of 2021, this variable would grow by about 1.5 percent; but given local factors we believe that private investment will fall slightly in the year 2022.

The start-up of new copper mining projects such as Quellaveco, Mina Justa and the Toromocho expansion, will contribute to the growth of GDP during the second half of 2022. Compared to three months ago, the global context for the year 2022 looks more challenging, not only because of the new COVID-19 variants, but also because of the expectation of a Fed policy rate hike starting in the middle of next year, rather than 2023 as foreseen by futures a few months ago. Even so, Perú will continue to benefit from a favorable expected average copper price.

At a domestic level, political uncertainty is expected to remain high in the year 2022, with lower risks of total changes in the economic regime or the Constituent Assembly. We also expect a gradual withdrawal (although more accelerated than expected three months ago) of the BCRP broadly expansionary monetary policy. Also, a cumulative inflation of almost 10.0 percent between 2021 and 2022 will affect consumers (private consumption would grow around 3.0 percent, a similar rate than 2019).

Regarding the probabilities of each scenario, probabilities of 60.0 percent, 30.0 percent and 10.0 percent were considered for the base, optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 (80.0 percent, 15.0 percent, and 5.0 percent, respectively, as of December 31, 2020). The expected value of the three GDP projections gives us a rebound of around 13.0 percent in 2021. The probabilities assigned to each scenario and projection year are validated through a fan chart analysis, which uses a probability function to identify and analyze:

The central tendency of the projections.

ii)

The dispersion that is expected around this value.

iii)

The values that are higher or lower than the central value that are more or less probable.

The following table provides a comparison between the carrying amount of allowance for loan losses for direct loans, indirect loans and due from customers on banker’s acceptances, and its estimation under three scenarios: base, optimistic and pessimistic.

Credit risk management on reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing -

Most of these operations are performed by Credicorp Capital. The Group has implemented credit limits for each counterparty and most of transactions are collateralized with investment grade financial instruments and financial instruments issued by Governments.

Credit risk management on investments -

The Group evaluates the credit risk identified of each of the investments, disclosing the risk rating granted to them by a risk rating agency. For investments traded in Perú, risk ratings used are those provided by the three most prestigious Peruvian rating agencies (authorized by Peruvian regulator) and for investments traded abroad, the risk-ratings used are those provided by the three most prestigious international rating agencies.

In the event that any subsidiary uses a risk-rating prepared by any other risk rating agency, said risk-ratings are standardized with those provided by the above mentioned institutions.

The following table shows the analysis of the risk-rating of the investments at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income and amortized cost provided by the institutions referred to above:

The decrease in the balance is mainly due to the maturity of these instruments, see Notes 6(a)(iii) and 6(b)(iii).

It is worth mentioning that the change in the risk-rating of the investments has had an impact on the measurement of the expected loss.

Offsetting financial assets and liabilities -

The disclosures set out in the tables below include financial assets and liabilities that:

Are offset in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position; or

Are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that covers similar financial instruments, irrespective of whether they are offset in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Similar agreements include derivative clearing agreements, master repurchase agreements, and master securities lending agreements. Similar financial instruments include derivatives, accounts receivable from reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing, payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending and other financial assets and liabilities. Financial instruments such as loans and deposits are not disclosed in the tables below because they are not offset in the statement of financial position.

The offsetting framework contract issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. (“ISDA”) and similar master offsetting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position, because said 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 said instruments on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The Group receives and gives collateral in the form of cash and trading securities in respect of the following transactions:

Derivatives;

Accounts receivable from reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing;

Payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending; and

Other financial assets and liabilities

Such collateral adheres to standard industry terms including, when appropriate, an ISDA Credit Support Annex. This means that securities received/given as collateral can be pledged or sold during the term of the transaction but have to be returned on maturity of the transaction. The terms also give each party the right to terminate the related transactions upon the counterparty’s failure to return the respective collateral.

34.2	Market risk -

The Group has exposure to market risk, which is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rates, currency, commodities and equity products; all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements and changes in the level of volatility of prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. Due to the order of the Group’s current activities, commodity price risk has not been approved, so this type of instrument is not agreed.

The Group separates exposures to market risk in two groups: (i) those that arise from value fluctuation of trading portfolios recognized at fair value through profit or loss due to movements of market rates or prices (Trading Book) and (ii) those that arise from changes in the structural positions of non-trading portfolios due to movements of the interest rates, prices and foreign exchange ratios (Banking Book) and that are recorded at amortized cost and at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, this is due to movements in interest rates, prices and currency exchange rates.

The risks that trading portfolios face are managed through Value at Risk (VaR) historical simulation techniques; while non-trading portfolios (Banking Book) are monitored using rate sensitivity metrics, which are a part of Asset and Liability Management (ALM).

Trading Book -

The trading book is characterized for having liquid positions in stocks, bonds, foreign currencies and derivatives, arising from market-making transactions where the Group acts as principal with the customers or with the market. This portfolio includes investments and derivatives classified by Management as held for trading.

(i)

Value at Risk (VaR) -

The Group applies the VaR approach to its trading portfolio to estimate the market risk of the main positions held and the maximum losses that are expected, based upon a number of assumptions for various changes in market conditions and considering the risk appetite of the subsidiary.

Daily calculation of VaR is a statistically-based estimate of the maximum potential loss on the current portfolio from adverse market movements.

VaR expresses the “maximum” amount the Group might lose, but only to a certain level of confidence (99 percent). There is therefore a specified statistical probability (1 percent) that actual loss could be greater than the VaR estimate. The VaR model assumes a certain “holding period” until positions can be closed (1 - 10 days).

The time horizon used to calculate VaR is one day; however, the one-day VAR is amplified to a 10-day time frame and calculated by multiplying the one-day VaR by the square root of 10. This adjustment will be accurate only if the changes in the portfolio in the following days have a normal distribution independent and identically distributed; because of that, the result is multiplied by a non-normality adjustment factor. The limits and consumptions of the VaR are established on the basis of the risk appetite and the trading strategies of each subsidiary.

The evaluation of the movements of the trading portfolio has been based on annual historical information and 146 market risk factors, which are detailed below: 35 market curves, 94 stock prices, 13 mutual fund values and 4 series of volatility. The Group directly applies these historical changes in rates to each position in its current portfolio (method known as historical simulation).

F-166

Content

The Group Management considers that the market risk factors, incorporated in their VaR model, are adequate to measure the market risk to which its trading portfolio is exposed.

The use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements. Losses exceeding the VaR figure may occur, on average under normal market conditions, not more than once every hundred days.

VaR limits have been established to control and keep track of all the risks taken. These risks arise from the size of the positions and/or the volatility of the risk factors embedded in each financial instrument. Regular reports are prepared for the Treasury Risk Committee and ALM, the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management.

VaR results are used to generate economic capital estimates by market risk, which are periodically monitored and are part of the overall risk appetite of each subsidiary. Furthermore, at Group level, there is also a limit to the risk appetite of the trading portfolio, which is monitored and informed to the Treasury Risks and ALM Credicorp Committee.

In VaR calculation, the effects of the exchange rate are not included because said effects are measured in the net monetary position, see note 34.2 (b)(ii).

The Group’s VaR showed a decrease as of December 31, 2021, mainly explained by lower rate risk due to lower volatility in interest rates compared to 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, there was a drop in the exposure to rate risk in the market of Peru and Colombia. The VaR remained contained within the risk appetite limits established by the Risk Management of each Subsidiary.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s VaR by risk type is as follows:

	2021			2020
	S/(000)			S/(000)

Interest rate risk		35,721			163,981
Price risk		4,637			6,529
Volatility risk		2,662			708
Diversification effect		(4,916	)		(857	)
Consolidated VaR by type of risk		38,104			170,361

On the other hand, the instruments recorded as fair values through profit or loss are not part of the selling business model and are considered as part of the sensitivity analysis of rates in the next section. See the chart of sensitivity of earnings at risk, net economic value and price sensitivity.

Banking Book -

Non-trading portfolios which comprise the Banking Book are exposed to different risks, given that they are sensitive to market rate movements, which could bring about a deterioration in the value of assets compared to liabilities and hence to a reduction of their net worth.

F-167

Content

(ii)

Interest rate risk -

The Banking Book-related interest rate risk arises from eventual changes in interest rates that may adversely affect the expected gains (risk gains) or market value of financial assets and liabilities reported on the balance sheet (net economic value). The Group assumes the exposure to the interest rate risk that may affect their fair value as well as the cash flow risk of future assets and liabilities.

The Risk Committee sets the guidelines regarding the level of unmatched repricing of interest rates that can be tolerated, which is periodically monitored through ALCO.

In this regard, Group companies that are exposed to the interest rate risk are those that have yields based on interest, such as credits, investments and technical reserves. Interest rate risk management in BCP Perú, BCP Bolivia, MiBanco, Mibanco Colombia, Atlantic Security Bank and Pacífico Grupo Asegurador is carried out by performing a repricing gap analysis, sensitivity analysis of the financial margin (GER) and sensitivity analysis of the net economic value (VEN). These calculations consider different rate shocks in stress scenarios.

Analysis of repricing gap -

The repricing gap analysis is intended to measure the risk exposure of interest rate for repricing periods, in which both balance and out of balance assets and liabilities are grouped. This allows identifying those sections in which the rate variations would have a potential impact.

Sensitivity to changes in interest rates -

The sensitivity analysis of a reasonable possible change in interest rates on the banking book comprises an assessment of the sensitivity of the financial margins that seeks to measure the potential changes in the interest accruals over a period of time and the expected movement of the interest rate curves, as well as the sensibility of the net economic value, which is a long-term metric measured as the difference arising between the Net Economic Value of assets and liabilities before and after a variation in interest rates.

The sensitivity of the financial margin is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the net financial interest income before income tax and non-controlling interest for one year, based on non-trading financial assets and financial liabilities held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, including the effect of derivative instruments.

The sensitivity of the Net Economic Value is calculated by reassessing the financial assets and liabilities sensitive to rates, except for the trading instruments, including the effect of any associated hedge, and derivative instruments designated as a cash flow hedge. Regarding rate risk management, no distinction is made by accounting category for the investments that are considered in these calculations.

The results of the sensitivity analysis regarding changes in interest rates at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented below:

The interest rate sensitivities set out in the table 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 yield curve scenarios and the Group’s current interest rate risk profile. This effect, however, does not incorporate actions that would be taken by Management to mitigate the impact of this interest rate risk.

The Group seeks proactively to change the interest rate risk profile to minimize losses and optimize net revenues. The projections above also assume that the interest rate of all maturities moves by the same amount and, therefore, do not reflect the potential impact on net interest income of some rates changing while others remain unchanged.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, investments in equity securities and funds that are non-trading, recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss, respectively, are not considered as comprising investment securities for interest rate sensitivity calculation purposes; however, a 10, 25 and 30 percent of changes in market prices is conducted to these price-sensitivity securities.

The following tables show the sensitivity analysis of the main currencies to which the Group is exposed and which affect the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The analysis determines the effect of a reasonably possible variation of the exchange rate against the sun for each of the currencies independently, considering all other variables constant. A negative amount shows a potential net reduction in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income, while a positive amount reflects a potential increase.

34.3	Liquidity risk

The Group is exposed to daily cash requirements, interbank deposits, current accounts, time deposits, use of loans, guarantees and other requirements. The Management of the Group’s subsidiaries establishes limits for the minimum funds amount available to cover such cash withdrawals and on the minimum level of inter-bank and other borrowing facilities that should be in place to cover withdrawals at unexpected levels of demand. Sources of liquidity are regularly reviewed by the corresponding risk teams to maintain a wide diversification by currency, geography, type of funding, provider, producer and term.

The procedure to control the mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the management of the Group. It is unusual for banks to be completely matched, as transacted business is often based on uncertain terms and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but also increases liquidity risk, which generates exposure to potential losses.

Maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace them, at an acceptable cost are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group.

A mismatch, in maturity of long-term illiquid assets against short-term liabilities, exposes the consolidated statement of financial position to risks related both to rollover and to interest rates. If liquid assets do not cover maturing debts, a consolidated statement of financial position is vulnerable to a rollover risk. Furthermore, a sharp increase in interest rates can dramatically increase the cost of rolling over short-term liabilities, leading to a rapid increase in debt cost. The contractual-maturity gap report is useful in showing liquidity characteristics.

Corporate policies have been implemented for liquidity risk management by the Group. These policies are consistent with the particular characteristics of each operating segment in which each of the Group companies operate. Risk Management heads set up limits and autonomy models to determine the adequate liquidity indicators to be managed.

Commercial banking and Microfinance:

Liquidity risk exposure in BCP Perú, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco and Mibanco Colombia is based on indicators such as the Internal Liquidity Coverage Ratio (RCLI, the Spanish acronym) which measures the amount of liquid assets available to meet cash outflows needs within a given stress scenario for a period of 30 days and the Internal Ratio of Stable Net Funding (RFNEI, the Spanish acronym), which is intended to guarantee that long-term assets are financed at least with a minimum number of stable liabilities within a prolonged liquidity crisis scenario and works as a minimum compliance mechanism that supplements the RCLI. The core limits of these indicators are 100% and any excess is presented in the Credicorp Treasury Risk Committee, Credicorp Risk Committee and the Assets Liabilities Committee (ALCO) of the respective subsidiary.

Insurances and Pensions:

Insurances: Liquidity risk management in Pacífico Grupo Asegurador follows a particular approach given the nature of the business. For annually renewable businesses, mainly general insurance, the emphasis of liquidity is focused on the quick availability of resources in the event of a systemic event (e.g. earthquake); for this purpose, there are minimum investment indicators in place relating to local cash/time deposits and foreign fixed-income instruments of high quality and liquidity.

F-177

Content

For long-term businesses such as Pacífico Seguros, given the nature of the products offered and the contractual relationship with customers (the liquidity risk is not material); the emphasis is on maintaining sufficient flow of assets and matching their maturities with maturities of obligations (mathematical technical reserves); for this purpose there are indicators that measure the asset/liability sufficiency and adequacy as well as calculations or economic capital subject to interest rate risk, this last under the methodology of Credicorp.

Pensions: Liquidity risk management in AFP Prima is carried out in a differentiated manner between the fund administrator and the funds being managed. Liquidity management regarding the fund administrator is focused on hedge meeting periodic operating expense needs, which are supported with the collection of commissions. The fund administering entity does not record unexpected outflows of liquidity.

Investment banking:

Liquidity risk in the Grupo Credicorp Capital principally affects the security brokerage. In managing this risk, limits of use of liquidity have been established as well as mismatching by dealing desk; follow-up on liquidity is performed on a daily basis for a short-term horizon covering the coming settlements. If short-term unmatched maturities are identified, repos are used. On the other hand, structural liquidity risk of Credicorp Capital is not significant given the low levels of debt, which is monitored regularly using financial planning tools.

In the case of Atlantic Security Bank, the risk liquidity management performs through indicators such as Internal Liquidity Coverage Ratio (RCLI, the Spanish acronym) and the Internal Ratio of Stable Net Funding (RFNEI, the Spanish acronym) with the core limits of 100% and any excess is presented in the Credicorp Treasury Risk Committee, Credicorp Risk Committee and the Assets Liabilities Committee (ALCO) of the respective subsidiary.

Companies perform a liquidity risk management using the liquidity Gap or contractual maturity Gap.

34.4	Operational risk -

Operational risk is the possibility of the occurrence of losses arising from inadequate processes, human error, failure of information technology, relations with third parties or external events. Operational risks can, lead to financial losses and have legal or regulatory compliance consequences, but exclude strategic or reputational risk (with the exception of companies under Colombian regulations, where reputational risk is included in operational risk).

Operational risks are grouped into internal fraud, external fraud, labor relations and job security, relations with customers, business products and practices, damages to material assets, business and systems interruption, and failures in process execution, delivery and management of processes.

One of the Group’s pillars is to develop an efficient risk culture, and to achieve this, it records operational risks and their respective process controls. The risk map permits their monitoring, prioritization and proposed treatment according to established governance. Likewise carries out an active cybersecurity and fraud prevention management, aligned with the best international practices.

The business continuity management system enables the establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving of business continuity based on best practices and regulatory requirements. The Group implements recovery strategies for the resources that support important products and services of the organization, which will be periodically tested to measure the effectiveness of the strategy.

In the management of operational risk, cybersecurity, fraud prevention and business continuity, corporate guidelines are used, and methodologies and best practices are shared among the Group’s companies.

The management of information security is carried out through a systemic process, documented and known by the entire organization under the best practices and regulatory requirements. The Group designs and develops the guidelines described in the policy and procedures to have strategies for availability, privacy and integrity of the information assets of the organization.

Finally, it is incorporated as a mechanism of recovery in front of the materialization of operational risks, the management of the Transfer of Non-Financial Risks, mainly through Insurance Policies contracted individually or corporately in the local and international market, which cover losses due to fraud, civil and professional liability, cyber risks, damage to physical assets, among others. The insurance design is in accordance with the Group’s main operating risks, the coverage needs of key areas and the organization’s risk appetite, constantly seeking efficiencies in the cost of policies, working together with the insurers that make up the Group and the most important insurance/reinsurance brokers in the international market.

34.5	Cybersecurity -

Credicorp focuses its efforts on the most cost-efficient strategies to reduce exposure to cybersecurity risk; thereby comply the Group’s risk appetite. To achieve it, different levels of controls are applied adapted to the different areas and potentially exposed companies. For this reason, it maintains an important investment program, which allows it to have the technologies and processes necessary to keep the Group’s operations and assets safe.

As part of cybersecurity management, the Group has lines of action that allow mitigating this risk and, at the corporate level, implementation priorities and improvements in accordance with the different realities of the companies were established. These lines of work are:

Cybersecurity maturity according to the FFIEC reference framework, allows defining the guide for the implementation of cybersecurity controls adjusted to each of the Group’s companies.

The policies and guidelines make it possible to standardize the levels of compliance with cybersecurity controls in each of the Group’s companies.

The aim of the awareness programs is to generate a culture of cybersecurity in all the Group’s companies. For this, constant training is carried out.

The cybersecurity indicators that indicate the effectiveness of the processes in terms of the periodic evaluations carried out in each of the Group’s companies.

The governance of suppliers that ensures the deployment of the Group’s policies to third parties. In other words, when a supplier wishes to interconnect digitally with any of the Group’s companies.

The implementation of security technologies, which seeks to cover said risks according to the threat trend and the risk profile of each company in the Group.

The “Tabletop” tests help to identify the level of response of the Group’s collaborators, through incident simulation tests.

Cybersecurity risk management that allows for a response work plan to address cyber risks through periodic evaluations of each of the applications of each Group company.

Finally, it should be noted that the new normality has required us to re-establish priorities in the controls to be implemented and to deepen the improvements in the processes; for example, we carry out awareness campaigns for collaborators focused on precautions in remote work, identification of phishing, among others.

34.6	Corporate Security and Cybercrime -

The Group, as part of non-financial risk management, implements policies, procedures and actions that safeguard the safety of employees, customers and assets of the organization. In addition, it protects the institution against incidents of fraud, security and reputational risk. Likewise, it fosters a culture of prevention, which allows minimizing the risks of fraud and security. Finally, it has established a solid relationship with stakeholders and Financial Institutions in the region in search of implementing best practices for the benefit of its clients.

Part of fraud and security management is to have an integral security scheme called BSIM (Banking Security Integral Model), which includes the variables of prevention, detection, response and recovery. The BSIM has 6 strategic axes: Training and training for internal/external clients, fraud and security risk assessments (COSO), business support through early alerts, continuous monitoring and reporting, specialized forensic investigation and cyber-intelligence.

Likewise, there is a second line of defense scheme focused on generating an integral vision of fraud and security risks. With a preventive approach, there are last generation technological tools to support this task. Likewise, there are advanced analysis models for risk profiling to the detection of internal fraud and the implementation of tools to detect anomalous behaviors

34.7	Model Risk -

The Group uses models for different purposes such as credit admission, capital calculation, behavior, provisions, market risk, liquidity, among others.

Model risk is defined as the probability of loss resulting from decisions (credit, market, among others) based on the use of poorly designed and/or poorly implemented models. The sources that generate this risk are mainly: deficiencies in data, errors in the model (from design to implementation), use of the model.

The management of model risk is proportional to the importance of each model. In this sense, a concept of “tiering” (measurement system that orders the models depending to the importance according to the impact on the business) is defined as the main attribute to synthesize the level of importance or relevance of a model, from which is determined the intensity of the model risk management processes to be followed.

Model risk management is structured around a set of processes known as the life cycle of the model. The definition of phases of the life cycle of the model in the Group is detailed below: Identification, Planning, Development, Internal Validation, Approval, Implementation and use, and Monitoring and control

34.8	Risk of the insurance activity -

The principal risk the Group faces under insurance contracts is that the actual claims and benefit payments or the timing thereof, differ from expectations. This is influenced by the frequency of claims, severity of claims, actual benefits paid and subsequent development of long-term claims. Therefore, the objective of the Group is to ensure that enough reserves are available to cover these liabilities.

The above risk exposure is mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts and by having different lines of business. The variability of risks is also improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategy guidelines, as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements. The Group’s placement of reinsurance is diversified so that it is neither dependent on a single reinsurer nor are the operations of the Group substantially dependent upon any single reinsurance contract.

Life insurance contracts -

The main risks that the Group is exposed to are mortality, morbidity, longevity, investment yield and flow, losses arising from policies due to the expense incurred being different than expected, and the policyholder decision; all of which, do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group, type of risk insured or industry.

The Group’s underwriting strategy is designed to ensure that risks are well diversified in terms of type of risk and level of insured benefits. This is achieved through diversification across insurable risks, the use of medical screening in order to ensure that pricing takes account of current health conditions and family medical history, regular review of actual claims experience and product pricing, as well as detailed claims handling procedures. Underwriting limits are in place to enforce appropriate risk selection criteria. For example, the Group has the right not to renew individual policies, it can impose deductibles and it has the right to reject the payment of fraudulent claims.

F-182

For contracts when death or disability is the insured risk, the significant factors that could increase the overall frequency of claims are epidemics, widespread changes in lifestyle and natural disasters, resulting in more claims than expected.

For retirement, survival and disability annuities contracts, the most significant factor is continuing improvement in medical science and social conditions that increase longevity.

Management has performed a sensitivity analysis of the technical reserve estimates, Note 16(c).

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, the mortality of the portfolio of life business policyholders has increased significantly. The main businesses affected have been the current Social Security Insurance and Credit Life Insurance, due to the number of policyholders in each business (more than 2.5 million people in each case). The other businesses affected are Individual Life, Group Life and Law Life, but with a reduced impact.

In these businesses, the reserve for pending claims has increased, as well as the reserve for Claims Occurred and Not Reported (IBNR) due to the increase in deaths and the delay experienced in reporting claims. Since March 2020, the month in which the national emergency began, the size of the portfolios, the reported claims and the reserves necessary to cover the expected excess mortality (expected deaths above the average number of premature deaths) have been continuously monitored. pandemic). Likewise, conservative criteria have been applied in estimating loss reserves, considering the uncertainty involved.

On the other hand, in the pension businesses, more deceased annuitants have also been registered since the start of the pandemic, which has led to a greater release of mathematical reserves for this concept compared to previous years.

Non-life insurance contracts (general insurance and healthcare) -

The Group mainly issues the following types of non-life general insurance contracts: automobile, technical branches, business and healthcare insurances. Healthcare contracts provide medical expense cover to policyholders. Risks under non-life insurance policies usually cover 12 months.

For general insurance contracts the most significant risks arise from climate changes, natural disasters and other types of damages. For healthcare contracts the most significant risks arise from lifestyle changes, epidemics and medical science and technology improvements.

Most of these risks do not vary significantly in relation to the location of the risk insured by the Group, type of risk insured or industry.

The above risk exposures are mitigated by diversification across a large portfolio of insurance contracts. The variability of risk is improved by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategies, which are designed to ensure that risks are diversified in terms of type of risks and level of insured benefits. This is achieved, in various cases, through diversification across industry sectors and geography. Furthermore, strict claim review policies to assess all new and ongoing claims and in process of settlement, regular detailed review of claims handling procedures and frequent investigation of possible fraudulent claims are all policies and procedures put in place to reduce the Group’s risk exposure. Insurance contracts also entitle the Group to pursue third parties for payment of some or all costs. Also, the Group actively manages and promptly pursues claims, in order to reduce its exposure to unpredictable future developments that can negatively impact the Group.

The Group has also limited its exposure by imposing maximum claim amounts on certain contracts as well as the use of reinsurance arrangements in order to limit its exposure to catastrophic events.

In the Medical Assistance branch, the pandemic had two simultaneous effects on the accident rate: an increase in outpatient care and hospitalizations (normal and in the ICU) for COVID-19 cases and a decrease in care and hospitalizations for other ailments. For this business, reserves for claims pending, as well as reserves for claims that have occurred and not reported (IBNR) are being continuously monitored and have been estimated with prudent criteria due to the variability and uncertainty of the frequency and cost of cases and the Greater delay in reporting claims by health centers, whose care during the pandemic is focused on patient care.

34.9	Capital management -

The Group maintains an actively managed capital base to cover risks inherent in its business. The adequacy of the Group’s capital is monitored using, among other measures, the rules and ratios established by the SBS, the supervising authority of its major subsidiaries and for consolidation purposes. Furthermore, capital management responds to market expectations in relation to the solvency of the Group and to support the growth of the businesses considered in the strategic planning. In this way, the capital maintained by the Group enables it to assume unexpected losses in normal conditions and conditions of severe stress.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are: (i) to comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the markets where the entities within the Group operate; (ii) to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and (iii) to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business, in line with the limits and tolerances established in the declaration of Risk Appetite.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the regulatory capital for the subsidiaries engaged in financial and insurance activities amounted to approximately S/29,741.6 million and S/28,969.3 million, respectively. The regulatory capital has been determined in accordance with SBS regulations in force as of said dates. Under the SBS regulations, the Group’s regulatory capital exceeds by approximately S/10,294.3 million the minimum regulatory capital required as of December 31, 2020 (approximately S/7,973.9 million as of December 31, 2020).

Financial instruments included in the Level 1 category are those that are measured on the basis of quotations obtained in an active market. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

Financial instruments included in the Level 2 category are those that are measured on the basis of observable market factors. This category includes instruments valued using: quoted prices for similar instruments, either in active or less active markets and other valuation techniques (models) where all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable based on market data.

Following is a description of how fair value is determined for the main Group’s financial instruments where valuation techniques were used with inputs based on market data which incorporate Credicorp’s estimates on the assumptions that market participants would use for measuring these financial instruments:

Valuation of derivative financial instruments -

Interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forward exchange contracts are measured by using valuation techniques where inputs are based on market data. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties, spot exchange rates, forward rates and interest rate curves. Options are valued using well-known, widely accepted valuation models.

A credit valuation adjustment (CVA) is applied to the “Over-The-Counter” derivative exposures to take into account the counterparty’s risk of default when measuring the fair value of the derivative. CVA is the mark-to market cost of protection required to hedge credit risk from counterparties in this type of derivatives portfolio. CVA is calculated by multiplying the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the expected exposure (EE) at the time of default.

A debit valuation adjustment (DVA) is applied to include the Group’s own credit risk in the fair value of derivatives (that is the risk that the Group might default on its contractual obligations), using the same methodology as for CVA.

As of December 31, 2021, the balance of receivables and payables corresponding to derivatives amounted to S/1,661.6 million and S/1,524.8 million respectively, See Note 13(c), generating DVA and CVA adjustments for approximately S/7.8 million and S/17.3 million respectively. The net impact of both items in the consolidated statement of income amounted to S/0.3 million of loss. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of receivables and payables corresponding to derivatives amounted to S/1,214.5 million and S/1,205.2 million, respectively, See Note 13(c), generating DVA and CVA adjustments for approximately S/8.3 million and S/18.6 million, respectively. Also, the net impact of both items in the consolidated statement of income amounted to S/3.5 million of loss.

Valuation of debt securities classified in the category “at fair value through other comprehensive income” and included in level 2 -

Valuation of certificates of deposit BCRP, corporate, leasing, subordinated bonds and Government treasury bonds are measured by calculating their Net Present Values (NPV) through discounted cash flows, using appropriate and relevant zero coupon rate curves to discount cash flows in the respective currency and considering observable current market transactions.

Certificates of deposit BCRP (CD BCRP) are securities issued at a discount in order to regulate the liquidity of the financial system. They are placed mainly through public auction or direct placement, are freely negotiable by their holders in the Peruvian secondary market and may be used as collateral in Repurchase Agreement Transactions of Securities with the BCRP.

Other debt instruments are measured using valuation techniques based on assumptions supported by prices from observable current market transactions, obtained via pricing services. Nevertheless, when prices have not been determined in an active market, fair values are based on broker quotes and assets that are valued using models whereby the majority of assumptions are market observable.

Valuation of financial instruments included in level 3 -

These are measured using valuation techniques (internal models), based on assumptions that are not supported by transaction prices observable in the market for the same instrument, nor based on available market data.

In this regard, no significant differences were noted between the estimated fair values and the respective carrying amounts.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the net unrealized loss of Level 3 financial instruments amounted to S/0.7 million and S/7.2 million, respectively. During 2021 and 2020, changes in the carrying amount of Level 3 financial instruments have not been significant since there were no purchases, issuances, settlements or any other significant movements or transfers from level 3 to Level 1 or Level 2 or vice versa.

Content

The methodologies and assumptions used by the Group to determine fair values depend on the terms and risk characteristics of the various financial instruments and include the following:

(i)

Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate loans are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, and individual creditworthiness of the customer and the risk characteristics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the incurred losses of these loans. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the carrying amounts of loans, net of allowances, were not materially different from their calculated fair values.

(ii)

Assets for which fair values approximate their carrying value - For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or have a short term maturity (less than three 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 liabilities carried at amortized cost are estimated by comparing market interest rates when they were first recognized with current market rates offered for similar financial instruments. The estimated fair value of fixed interest bearing deposits is based on discounted cash flows using prevailing market interest rates for financial instruments with similar credit risk and maturity. For quoted debt issued the fair values are calculated based on quoted market prices. When quoted market prices are not available, a discounted cash flow model is used based on a current interest rate yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

Fiduciary activities, management of funds and pension funds -

The Group provides custody, trustee, investment management and advisory services to third parties; therefore, the Group makes allocations and purchase and sale decisions in relation to a wide range of financial instruments. Assets that are held in a fiduciary capacity are not included in these consolidated financial statements. These services give rise to the risk that the Group will be accused of mismanagement or under-performance.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the value of the net assets under administration off the balance sheet (in millions of soles) is as follows:

	2021		2020

Pension funds		40,024		49,582
Investment funds and mutual funds		53,365		52,174

Legal claim contingencies -

Madoff Trustee Litigation -

In September 2011, the Trustee for the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC (BLMIS) and the substantively consolidated estate of Bernard L. Madoff (the Madoff Trustee) filed a complaint (the Madoff Complaint) against Credicorp’s subsidiary ASB in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). The Madoff Complaint seeks recovery of approximately US$120.0 million in principal amount, which is alleged to be equal to the amount of redemptions between the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005 of ASB-managed Atlantic U.S. Blue Chip Fund assets invested in Fairfield Sentry Limited (Fairfield Sentry), together with fees, costs, interest and expenses. The Madoff Complaint seeks the recovery of these redemptions from ASB as “subsequent transfers” or “avoided transfers” from BLMIS to Fairfield Sentry that Fairfield Sentry in turn subsequently transferred to ASB. The Madoff Trustee has filed similar “clawback” actions against numerous other alleged “subsequent transferees” that invested in Fairfield Sentry and its sister entities, which, in turn, invested in and redeemed funds from BLMIS.

There has been significant briefing on issues related to these Madoff Trustee actions, and these cases have been pending for many years. In November 2016, the Bankruptcy Court issued a Memorandum Decision Regarding Claims to Recover Foreign Subsequent Transfers (the Memorandum Decision) holding that the recovery of certain subsequent foreign transfers is barred under the doctrine of comity and/or extraterritoriality, and it dismissed the claims brought by the Madoff Trustee against a number of parties, including ASB. In March 2017, the Madoff Trustee filed an appeal (the Appeal) of the Memorandum Decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which reversed the Dismissal Order and remanded the matter to the Bankruptcy Court (the Second Circuit Opinion). In April 2019, the defendant-appellees, including ASB, filed, and the Second Circuit granted, a motion to stay the issuance of the mandate pending the filing of a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court. The petition for a writ of certiorari was filed in the United States Supreme Court in August 2019. The mentioned petition was denied by the Supreme Court in June 2020. Following the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari, the judgment for dismissal by the Bankruptcy Court was vacated and the matter was remanded back to the Bankruptcy Court. The case now remains pending in the Bankruptcy Court with the date by which ASB is to respond to the complaint scheduled for on or before March 25^th, 2022. While management believes that ASB has defenses against the Madoff Trustee’s claims and intends to defend against any action by the Madoff Trustee, in view of recent judicial decisions in cases not involving ASB, certain defenses are no longer available. In this context, Credicorp has constituted a provision that management considers reasonable with the information available today.

Fairfield Liquidator Litigation -

In April 2012, Fairfield Sentry (In Liquidation) and its representative, Kenneth Krys (the Fairfield Liquidator), filed a complaint against ASB (the Fairfield Complaint) in the Bankruptcy Court (the Fairfield v. ASB Adversary Proceeding). The Fairfield Complaint seeks to recover US$115.2 million in principal amount from ASB, representing the amount of ASB’s redemptions of certain investments in Fairfield Sentry, together with fees, costs, interest and expenses. These are essentially the same funds that the Madoff Trustee seeks to recover in the Madoff Trustee litigation described above. After the Fairfield Complaint was filed, the Bankruptcy Court procedurally consolidated the Fairfield V. ASB Adversary Proceeding with other adversary actions brought by the Fairfield Liquidator against former investors in Fairfield Sentry.

Similar to the Madoff Trustee litigation described above, the Fairfield V. ASB Adversary Proceeding and related adversary actions have been pending for many years. In October 2016, the Fairfield Liquidator filed a Motion for Leave to Amend (the Motion for Leave) various complaints, including the Fairfield Complaint. Certain defendants, including ASB, filed a motion to dismiss (the Motion to Dismiss) and a consolidated memorandum of law (i) in opposition to the Motion for Leave and (ii) in support of the Motion to Dismiss. In December 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered a memorandum decision granting in part and denying in part the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion for Leave (the Memorandum Decision). In March 2019, the Fairfield Liquidator submitted a form of a stipulated order dismissing the adversary proceeding against ASB (the Dismissal Order), as directed by the Bankruptcy Court, but filed notices of appeal, including of the dismissal of the claims asserted against ASB and other defendants, in May 2019. The appeal remains pending.

The management believes that ASB has defenses against the Fairfield Liquidator’s claims alleged in the Amended Complaint and the Fairfield Liquidator’s appeal.

Government Investigations -

The former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Credicorp, in their respective capacities as Chairman of the Board and as a director of BCP Stand-alone, were summoned as witnesses by Peruvian prosecutors, along with 26 other Peruvian business leaders, to testify in connection with a judicial investigation that is being carried out regarding contributions made to the electoral campaign of a political party in the 2011 Peruvian presidential elections. Our former Chairman testified on November 18, 2019, and our Vice Chairman testified on December 9, 2019. The former Chairman informed prosecutors that in 2010 and 2011 Credicorp made donations totaling US$3.65 million to the Fujimori 2011 campaign (in total amounts of US$1.7 million in 2010 and US$1.95 million in 2011). These contributions were made in coordination with the General Manager of Credicorp at that time. While the amount of these contributions exceeded the limits then permitted under Peruvian electoral law, the law in place at that time provided no sanction for contributors, and instead only for the recipient of the campaign contribution.

In addition, the former Chairman informed prosecutors that in 2016, three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, MiBanco and Grupo Pacifico) made donations totaling S/711,000 (approximately US$200,000) to the Peruanos Por el Kambio campaign. These contributions were made in compliance both with Peruvian electoral law and with Credicorp’s own political contributions guidelines, adopted in 2015. These guidelines provided details on the procedures for obtaining approval for contributions and outlined the specific required conditions for transparent contributions.

The Peruvian Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (‘SMV’ for its Spanish acronym) initiated a sanctioning process against Credicorp, for not having disclosed to the market, in due course, the contributions made to political campaigns in the years 2011 and 2016. The Peruvian Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (SMV) also initiated a sanctioning process against three subsidiaries of Credicorp (BCP Stand-alone, MiBanco and Grupo Pacifico), for not having disclosed to the market, in due course, the contributions made to political campaigns in connection with the 2016 presidential elections. The SMV notified Credicorp, BCP, MiBanco and Grupo Pacifico with first instance Resolutions on these proceedings. The mentioned Resolutions imposed pecuniary sanctions (fines) on Credicorp and the three subsidiaries as a consequence of these sanctioning processes. Credicorp, BCP, MiBanco and Grupo Pacifico have appealed the Resolutions.

On December 8, Credicorp informed that the Peruvian SMV was notified of the resolution issued by the Provisional Superior Chamber Specialized in Administrative Litigation of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima (the “Court”), pursuant to which the Court has admitted for consideration Credicorp’s contentious-administrative claim challenging the SMV’s resolution (by negative administrative silence), with reference to the appeal filed by Credicorp mentioned in the prior paragraph.

Under the Resolution, the SMV resolved to sanction Credicorp (i) with a fine of 300 Tax Units (UITs by its acronym in Spanish) approximately US$270,000 for, allegedly, having infringed (categorized as “very serious”, “muy grave” in Spanish) subsection 1.6, numeral 1 of Annex 1 of the Sanctions Regulation, approved by CONASEV Resolution N°055-2001-EF / 94.10, effective as from 2011; and (ii) with a fine of 210 Tax Units (UITs by its acronym in Spanish) approximately US$207,375 for, allegedly, having violated (categorized as “very serious”, “muy grave” in Spanish) subsection 1.5, numeral 1 of Annex 1 of the Sanctions Regulation, approved by CONASEV Resolution N° 055-2001-EF / 94.10 and modified by Resolution N° 006-2012-SMV / 01, effective as from 2016. The charges made by the SMV against Credicorp were that the company had affected the transparency of the stock market by not having disclosed relevant information to the market regarding Credicorp’s cash contributions to the political party Fuerza Popular during the 2011 Peruvian presidential campaign (first charge) and that the company had affected the transparency of the stock market by not having disclosed relevant information to the market regarding Credicorp’s agreement to make contributions to the political party Peruanos por el Kambio during the 2016 Peruvian presidential campaign (second charge).

Thus, since Credicorp’s contentious-administrative claim filed was admitted for consideration by the Court, the administrative procedure has terminated with respect to Credicorp and the matter is now subject to the decision of the Judiciary.

Regarding BCP, Mibanco and Grupo Pacifico the administrative proceedings are still in the SMV.

Credicorp believes that neither the contributions disclosed by our former Chairman and the current Vice Chairman in 2019 nor the related SMV sanctioning processes pose a significant risk of material liability to the Company. Furthermore, Credicorp does not believe that either will have material effect on the Company’s business, financial position or profitability.

On the other hand, on November 11, 2021, Credicorp’s General Manager, Mr. Gianfranco Ferrari de las Casas, was notified of a Prosecutor’s Decision issued by the Corporate Supraprovincial Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Officer Corruption Offenses Special Team - Fourth Court Division (“Fiscalía Supraprovincial Corporativa Especializada en Delitos de Corrupción de Funcionarios Equipo Especial – Cuarto Despacho”, for its name in Spanish). This notice informed Mr. Ferrari that he has been included in the preparatory investigation carried out against Mr. Yehude Simon M. (a former Peruvian Prime Minister) and an additional sixty-five (65) individuals on the grounds of, in Mr. Ferrari’s case, alleged primary complicity in the alleged crime against the public administration, aggravated collusion, incompatible negotiation or improper use of position and criminal organization detrimental to the Peruvian State, in connection with the financial advisory services provided by Banco de Crédito del Perú related to the Olmos Project, a large water irrigation project undertaken in northeastern Perú.

Our management has reviewed the performance of the officers of Banco de Crédito del Perú in relation to the financial advisory services provided by the Bank in connection with the Olmos Project, including the performance of Mr. Ferrari, and has concluded that the facts under investigation do not give rise to any liability of Banco de Crédito del Perú or its officers. Our institution bases this view on the qualified opinion of external consultants specializing in the matter.

Credicorp does not believe that the opening of this preparatory investigation will have any impact on our normal operations nor have material effect on the Company’s business, financial position or profitability.
