The study mainly focuses on the ECL-related impacts and covers:
• ECL charge impact of H1 2022 on the profit or loss and ECL allowances;
• ECL allowances: changes in coverage ratios and allocation between stages;
• Post-model adjustments/overlays;
• Forward-looking information;
• Ukraine war impacts on H1 2022 expected credit losses.
