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.

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.

ii)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chile

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.

ii)

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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Soles (S/), which is the functional currency of Credicorp Ltd and subsidiaries, see paragraph (c) below, and values are rounded to thousands of soles, except when otherwise indicated.

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.

(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.

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.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the following entities comprise the Group (the individual or consolidated figures of their financial statements are presented in accordance with IFRS and before eliminations for consolidation purposes, except for the elimination of Credicorp’s treasury shares and its related dividends):

(v)

CCR Inc. was incorporated in 2000, its main activity is to manage loans granted to BCP by foreign financial entities, See Note 17(a)(ix). These loans are collateralized by transactions performed by BCP.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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:

“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):

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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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; In that sense, lessors continue to perform a classification test to distinguish between financial and operating leases.

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.

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 -

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 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.

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 acquiree.

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, 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.

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 -

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 (CGU) that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree 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 cash-generating unit 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 -

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year 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.

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.

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.

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 -

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. Also, 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 take into account in pricing a transaction.

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.

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.

ab)

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 these consolidated financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group, Note 34.11.

Commissions generated for these activities are included as “Commissions and fees” of the consolidated statement of income.

ac)

Cash and cash equivalents -

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances of cash and non-restricted balances with central banks, overnight deposits, interbank funds, time deposits with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition, excluding restricted cash, see Note 4(a).

Cash collateral pledged as a part of a repurchase agreement is presented in “Cash collateral, reverse repurchase agreement and securities borrowings” in the consolidated statement of financial position, see Note 5(a).

Cash collateral pledged in the negotiation of derivative financial instrument and others are presented in “Other assets” in the consolidated statement of financial position, See Note 13.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

(i)

At December 31, 2021 cash and deposits that generate interest subject to legal cash requirements in local and foreign currency are subject to an implicit rate of 4.77 percent and 33.17 percent, respectively, on the total balance of obligations subject to legal cash requirements, as required by the BCRP (4.00 percent and 34.51 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2020).

In Management’s opinion, the Group has complied with the calculation legal cash requirements established by current regulations.

(ii)

As of December 31, 2021, the Group maintains four “overnight” deposits with the BCRP, of which are two denominated in soles in amount of S/690.0 million and two in US dollar in amount of US$964.7 million, equivalent to S/3,846.4 million. At said date, the deposit in soles and deposits in US dollar accrue interest at annual rates of 1.85 percent and 0.05 percent, respectively, and have maturities at 3 days.

As of December 31, 2020, the Group maintains four “overnight” deposits with the BCRP, which are two denominated in soles in amount of S/559.7 million and two in US dollar in amount of US$666.4 million, equivalent to S/2,413.0 million. At said date, deposits in soles and deposits in US dollar accrue interest at annual rates of 0.15 percent and 0.13, respectively, and have maturities at 4 days.

(iii)

In order to manage liquidity and in view of the BCRP’s offer of profitable rates for short-term deposits. The Group maintains four term deposits, which are denominated in soles, accrue interest at an annual rate of 2.48 percent and 2.49 percent and have maturities between January 3 and 4, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, the group held sixteen time deposits denominated in soles, accruing interest at an annual rate of 0.25 percent and maturing between January 4 and January 7, 2021. The decrease in time deposits at the BCRP is mainly due to lower liquidity surpluses due to a lower level of customer deposits.

Deposits with local and foreign banks -

Deposits with local and foreign banks mainly consist of balances in soles and US dollar; these are cash in hand and earn interest at market rates. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 Credicorp and its Subsidiaries do not maintain significant deposits with any bank in particular.

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).

The maturities and annual market rates of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income during 2021 and 2020, are as follows:

	Maturities		Annual effective interest rate

(i)

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.

Likewise, Credicorp Management has determined that as of December 31, 2021, the difference between amortized cost and the fair value of these investments is temporary in nature and Credicorp has the intention and ability to hold each of these investments until its maturity.

As of December 31, 2021, the Group has repurchase agreement transactions for investments at amortized cost for an estimated fair value of S/3,854.0 million (S/2,766.2 million as of December 31, 2020), the related liability for which is presented in the caption “Payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending” of the consolidated statement of financial position, see note 5(c).

Said issuance is a mechanism established in the concession agreement signed between the State and the concessionaire, which allows the latter to obtain financing to continue with the work undertaken. Said investment matures between January 2022 and April 2026, accruing interest at an annual effective rate between 2.32 percent and 4.26 percent (between January 2021 and April 2026, accruing interest at an annual effective rate between 2.42 percent and 3.47 percent as of December 31, 2020).

(*)

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).

Interest rates on loans are set considering the rates prevailing in the markets where the Group’s subsidiaries operate.

A portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized with guarantees received from customers, which mainly consist of mortgages, trust assignments, securities and industrial and mercantile pledges.

The following table presents the gross direct loan portfolio as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 by maturity based on the remaining period to the payment due date:

FINANCIAL ASSETS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS [Abstract]

FINANCIAL ASSETS DESIGNATED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS

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 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:

	2021		2020
	S/(000)		S/(000)
MiBanco - Edyficar Perú		273,694		273,694
MiBanco Colombia (antes Bancompartir)		124,746		135,658

Compañía Incubadora de Soluciones Móviles S.A-Culqi		2,297		2,297
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
Prima AFP - AFP Unión Vida		1.00		12.62
Credicorp Capital Colombia		3.80		12.90
Banco de Crédito del Perú		5.00		10.76
Pacífico Seguros (*)		5.00	10.29 and 11.07
Atlantic Security Holding Corporation		2.00		11.00
Mibanco Colombia - Bancompartir		4.00		13.05
Tenpo		2.00		25.00
Compañía Incubadora de Soluciones Móviles S.A. - Culqi		2.00		25.00

	2020
Description	Terminal value growth rate		Discount rate
	%		%
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
Pacífico Seguros (*)		5.00	10.44 and 11.81
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.

(ii)

The Group is exposed to variability in future cash flows on assets and liabilities in foreign currency and/or those that bear interest at variable rates. The Group uses derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges to cover these risks.

A schedule indicating the periods when the current cash flow hedges are expected to occur and affect the consolidated statement of income, net of deferred income tax is presented below:

As of December 31, 2021, the accumulated balance of net unrealized loss from cash flow hedges, which is included as other comprehensive income in “Cash flow hedge reserves” results from the current hedges, which have an unrealized loss of approximately S/0.3 million and from the revoked hedges, which have an unrealized loss of approximately S/0.7 million (unrealized loss of approximately S/38.2 million from current hedges and unrealized loss for S/2.9 million from revoked hedges, as of December 31, 2020), which is being recognized in the consolidated statement of income over the remaining term of the underlying financial instrument. Also, the transfer of the unrealized loss on cash flow hedges to the consolidated statement of income is presented in Note 18(c).

Transactions in process include deposits received, granted and collected loans, funds transferred and other similar types of transactions, which are made in the final days of the month and not reclassified to their final accounts in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position until the first days of the following month. The regularization of these transactions does not affect the Group’s net income.

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.

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 claims mainly corresponds to excess mortality in the Life Insurance Businesses and the provision of services for Health Insurance. The impact by business is detailed below:

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:

During the first quarter of 2018, in accordance with the risk exposure strategy of the interest rate, the Group discontinued the fair value hedge of certain bonds, issued in US. dollar at a fixed rate, through the liquidation of the IRS. The accumulated profit of the fair value of these bonds at the time of the liquidation of the derivatives amounted to US$22.0 million (equivalent to S/71.7 million), recorded in the liability, which has been transferred to the consolidated statement of income up to the date of maturity of said bonds. As of December 31, 2021, the liability amounts to US$0.9 million, equivalent to S/3.6 million, (US$2.6 million, equivalent to S/9.5 million, as of December 31, 2020). The amount recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of income ended December 31, 2021, amounts to US$1.7 million, equivalent to S/6.6 million (US$6.1 million, equivalent to S/21.2 million, during the period ended December 31, 2020).

In addition, international issues maintain certain operating covenants, which, in Management’s opinion, the Group has complied with at the dates of the statement of financial position.

(i)

The Bank can redeem the total or part of the notes at any time, having as a penalty an interest rate equal to the Treasury of the United States of America’s rate plus 50 basis point. The payment of principal will take place on the due date of the notes or when the Bank redeems these notes.

(ii)

In September 2019, the Bank announced a repurchase offer and propose an exchange to the holders of senior notes of the US$ 800.0 million issued in September of 2010, managing to repurchase US$ 220.3 million and exchanging US$ 205.0 million with new senior notes, at market rates , whose terms and conditions are very similar to the previous issue. At the end of said offer, the Bank kept a notional value payable amounting to US$374.6 million, which matured in September 2020.

In the same way, in September 2019, the Bank issued senior notes of approximately US$700.0 million (that amount includes the US$205.0 million of the exchange mentioned in the paragraph before). The Bank can redeem all or part of the notes at any date, between October 11, 2021 and December 10, 2024, at a redemption price equal to or greater than : (i) 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present value of each remaining scheduled payment discounted at interest rate equal to the Treasury of the United States of America’s rate plus 20 basis points.

Thus, only 50.0 percent of the industry and commerce tax, notices and boards can be taken as a tax discount.

In addition to the Tax Reform Law No.2155 of 2021, the possibility of reducing the term of finality of the income tax return and complementary for the taxable periods 2022 and 2023 is established as follows:

Increase in net income tax compared to the previous year	Firmness of the declaration

As of December 31, 2021, the variation corresponds mainly to the increase in Profit before Taxes without considering the Profit in Subsidiaries of Banco de Crédito del Perú and Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros S.A and the untaxed profit of Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros. S.A. As of December 31, 2020, the variation corresponds mainly to the reduction of Profit before Taxes without considering the Profits in Subsidiaries of Banco de Crédito del Perú and Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros S.A and the change in estimate of deferred tax rate from Banco de Crédito de Bolivia.

Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 comprises:

The deferred income tax has been calculated on all temporary differences, considering the income tax rates effective where Credicorp’s subsidiaries are located.

As of December 31, 2021, the variation in deferred income tax is mainly due to a lower provision for credit risks of the loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2020, the variation in the income tax expense and the deferred is mainly due to the increase in approximately S/725.0 million because of the increase of the allowance of loan losses. Also, the increase of the recognition of a lower deduction for S/68.0 million in relation to intangible assets since there is a lower number of activated projects at the end of said period.

The Peruvian Tax Authority has the right to review and, if necessary, amend the annual income tax returns filed by Peruvian subsidiaries up to four years after their filing date. Income tax returns of the major subsidiaries open for examination by the tax authorities are as follows:

Banco de Crédito del Perú S.A.			2016 to 2021
MiBanco, Banco de la Microempresa S.A.			2016 to 2021
Pacífico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros			2017 to 2021
Credicorp Capital Servicios Financieros			2017 to 2021
Credicorp Capital Perú			2017 to 2021
Credicorp Capital Holding Perú S.A.A.			2017 to 2021

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 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	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.

As indicated in Note 3(x), in March of each year, the Group grants its own shares to certain key employees. The awarded shares are liberated in the three following years for up to 33.3 percent of the shares granted in each of the three previous years. The Group assumes the payment of the related income tax on behalf of its employees, which depend on the country of residence and the annual compensation of the employee.

As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Group has granted 88,507, 175,930 and 116,594 Credicorp shares, of which 229,523, 293,606 and 246,931 shares not vested as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During those years, the recorded expense amounted to approximately S/ 74.0 million, S/ 104.5 million and S/ 120.1 million, respectively, see Note 27.

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.

Total		(2,488,426	)		(2,976,306	)		(3,289,913	)

(i)

The increase corresponds mainly to a higher yield on investments indexed by the Constant Updating Value (VAC), due to the increase in inflation, 6.43 percent in 2021 compared to 1.97 percent in 2020.

(ii)

The variation corresponds mainly to the increase in nominal amounts, in sovereign bonds, generating a yield of S/130.2 million in these investments.

(iii)

During the year 2021, the item suffered a decrease that is mainly due to a significant drop in the interest rate remunerated by the BCR to the ordinary reserve accounts. See Note 4.

(vi)

The variation corresponds mainly to a decrease in interest on time and demand deposits as a result of lower rates offered in the market, as well as a reduction in CTS deposits after the government liberalized access to these funds.

(v)

During the year 2021, the balance of loans from international funds and collateralized repurchase agreements have decreased; as well as interest rates that have generated a lower interest accrual in the 2021 period.

The main variations in commissions and fees for the 2021 period with respect to the 2020 period are mainly due to the lower number of banking transactions in 2020 as a result of the lower dynamism of the economy as a consequence of COVID-19, see Note 2 (b).

(i)

The increase is due to a higher volume of credit and debit card consumption. As well as higher commissions in 2021 for the use of the Yapecard product. Finally, higher commissions were obtained for foreign bank transfers, within the country and interbank transfers.

(ii)

The increase is mainly due to higher commissions for letters of guarantee for legal entities, among other minor items.

All of these services are provided through Credicorp Capital Ltd. and subsidiaries and ASB Bank Corp.

Management of these business lines is designed to:

Promote the joint action of our businesses in order to take advantage of the synergies which result from the diversification of our portfolio.

Strengthening our leadership in the financial sector through our growth in new businesses, and the establishment of an investment banking platform available not only to the corporate world, but also to the retail segment, especially to the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) and Consumer sectors.

Improve the ongoing search to adapt our business models, processes and procedures into line with best practices worldwide.

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.

Financial information by segment is prepared subject to the minimum controls necessary and on a uniform basis, with coherent grouping according to the type of activity and customer. The transfer prices used for determining income and expenses generated among the operating segments are similar to the prices that would be applicable to transactions carried out at arm’s length.

None of the income derives from transactions carried out with a single customer or counterparty which is equal to or greater than 10 percent or more of the total income of the Group as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Depending on the type of risk, mitigating instruments are used to reduce its exposure, such as guarantees, derivatives, controls and insurance, among others. Furthermore, it has policies linked to risk appetite and established procedures for each type of risk.

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:

“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.

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.

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.

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:

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 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.

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.

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:

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.

The gross amounts of financial assets and liabilities disclosed in the above tables have been measured in the statement of financial position on the following basis:

Derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value.

Receivables from reverse repurchase agreements and securities lending are measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities are measured at fair value.

The difference between the carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position and the amounts presented in the tables above for derivatives (presented in other assets Note 13(c)), receivables from reverse repurchase agreement and securities borrowing and payables from repurchase agreements and securities lending and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments outside of the scope of offsetting disclosure.

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).

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.

(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.

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 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.

The table below summarizes the Group’s exposure to interest rate risks. It includes the Group’s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual re-pricing or maturity dates, what occurs first:

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.

(ii) Foreign currency exchange 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 31,2021 and 2020, the net open monetary position with effect on results and the equity position of the group was as follows:

The monetary position with effect on equity in other currencies is mainly made up of the equity of subsidiaries in Bolivian pesos for S/928.6 million, in Colombian pesos for S/628.6 million and, in Chilean pesos for S/304.4 million, among other minors.

As of December 31, 2021, the foreign currency in which the group has the greatest exposure is the US dollar. The free market exchange rate for purchase and sale transactions of each US dollar as of December 31, 2021 was S/3.987 (as of December 31, 2020 it was S/3.621).

(*) An accounting hedge of net investment abroad was carried out where part of our liability position in dollars related to the balance of the caption “bonds and notes issued”, see Note 17(iv), was designated as cover our permanent investment in Atlantic Security Holding.

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.

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, 2021 and 2020:

34.3	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.

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.

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.

The table below presents the cash flows payable by the Group by remaining contractual maturities (including future interest payments) at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows:

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.

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.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value -

We present below the disclosure of the comparison between the carrying amounts and fair values of the financial instruments, which are not measured at fair value, presented in the consolidated statement of financial position by level of the fair value hierarchy:

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.

34.11

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
Equity managed		28,768		25,273

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.

ii)

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.

iii)

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).

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.

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.
