MILAN (Reuters) – Italian mid-sized lender Creval said on Tuesday it would spin off its bad debts into a separate unit and sell half of them, in order to roughly halve its gross soured loan ratio to below 6.5% in 2023.
Presenting a five-year business plan under new CEO Luigi Lovaglio, Creval said cost cuts and additional revenues would allow it to meet a 93 million euro net profit in 2021, compared with 32 million euros last year.
The bank, which last year raised 700 million euros in capital to fund a balance-sheet clean-up, said it would keep its core capital above 14 percent of assets both in 2021 and 2023, from an end-March level of 14%.
