Koos Timmermans to present at Goldman Sachs Conference
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Today, Koos Timmermans, Vice-Chairman of ING Bank, will address the Goldman
Sachs Seventeenth Annual European Financials Conference in Brussels.
In his presentation, Mr Timmermans will demonstrate how ING Bank's balance sheet
optimisation programme is ahead of plan. After taking major strides in 2012 to
optimise the balance sheet and de-risk the investment portfolio, ING Bank is now
comfortably meeting its capital, funding and liquidity targets, creating room to
selectively grow the loan book and to focus on improvement of the Net Interest
Margin.
Mr Timmermans will show how ING Bank's conservative risk approach has led to a
relatively low risk profile despite the uptick in risk costs due to the economic
downturn.
Elaborating on the Bank's progress on reaching its long-term targets as laid
down in the Ambition 2015 programme, Mr Timmermans will reiterate how the Bank
is further optimising its cost structure ensuring that the cost/income target of
50-53% will be reached by 2015. He will conclude his presentation by showing how
ING Bank is on track to reach the Return on Equity target of 10-13% by the same
year.
Today's presentation "Towards Ambition 2015" by Koos Timmermans can be
viewed/downloaded via ING's corporate website or SlideShare.
