medium
Elevated credit cost normalization may be slower than expected
Credit cost at 4.69% remains above the target range of 3.25-3.75%; any delay in normalization could pressure profitability.
Mortgage team costs weighing on opex
The addition of 1,300-1,400 mortgage staff has increased operating expenses; profitability improvement depends on mortgage book scaling to absorb these costs.
Competition in mortgage lending may pressure yields
Increased supply in the mortgage segment could lead to pricing pressure, potentially offsetting benefits from lower credit costs.
Interest rate hardening could pressure NIMs
Rising interest rates may increase borrowing costs, partially offsetting benefits from lower-cost debt replacement.
Credit cost normalization may be slower than expected
Despite improving collection efficiency, the NPA bulge from earlier slippages could delay credit cost reduction.
Geopolitical risks from West Asia could impact micro-enterprises
Escalation in West Asia may disrupt local businesses, though management believes their customer segment is insulated.
