In addition, illimity confirmed solid growth prospects for 2021 volumes and profits. In the report, illimity also announced the appointment of two new nonexecutive independent directors. “illimity has fully met the results for the year included in its earnings guidance, guaranteeing shareholders a Return On Equity (ROE) of 5.5% despite the challenging economic situation created by the pandemic,” said illimity CEO Corrado Passera in the press release. “The Bank has never once interrupted its growth path in this difficult situation and has also invested in new strategic initiatives whose positive effects will become visible in future years. Alongside the resilience of its economic and capital results, illimity also made important strategic and operational progress in the year that allows us to look to the future with optimism: from entry into the UTP portfolio market — winning one of the most important bids in the sector — to the launch of Open banking and the joint venture in HYPE.
In 2021 we will continue to grow together with our customers and are expecting to see a significant increase in our results, despite the costs we will have to incur and the investments required for the development of new projects and the completion of the build of the new paradigm bank that we have promised our investors.”
