Dear shareholders:
I am pleased to highlight

Faced with an unforeseen event of such magnitude, the role of the companies was the future and continue
decisive in helping to contain the crisis. BBVA Peru took a step forward and became one to generate value for our

and a special credit line of 2,500 million soles aimed at the SME sector. permanent support
under all circumstances.
Likewise, the Bank actively participated in public financing programs and granted, within
Reactiva Peru, more than 39,121 credits for an amount greater than 14,931 million soles,
which allowed thousands of companies to maintain their payment chains and preserve
the employment of its employees.
In very challenging circumstances, we put all our human, technological and physical
infrastructure at the disposal of the country, without neglecting the health of clients,
employees, and all Peruvians at any time.
Our quick and effective response evidenced the success of the digital transformation
strategy, to the point that not only more than 80% of the over 5 thousand Bank
employees were able to work from home without losing closeness to the customer, but
also the digital customer service channels companies achieved, without incident, an
operations growth of more than 70% compared to 2019.
These digital capabilities were crucial in the most difficult moments of the pandemic, as
demonstrated by the launch of a 100% digital account and a new app, GloMo (Global
Mobile), which enhances the user experience by incorporating facial biometrics and new
functionalities, and the development of financial products such as Zero and Fixed Fee
cards, focused on meeting the new demands of the local market.
In the area of social responsibility and sustainability, the BBVA Group, as a member of the
United Nations Global Compact for more than a decade, once again promoted the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with an emphasis on financial inclusion, the
promotion of equitable education, diversity, gender equality and the preservation of the
environment.

Dear shareholders:
BBVA directed its efforts
As we all experienced, 2020 was marked by the global covid-19 pandemic, and BBVA to promote the internal

but of society as a whole. During the health emergency, our teams provided an essential to strengthen simpler

compressed the GDP by more than two digits and has affected banks' balance sheets -
BBVA attributes, such as its strategy, purpose, and values were consolidated and
strengthened, to the point of placing ourselves in a position of digital, financial and
organizational strength for the future.
The Bank's advances in digital transformation played a fundamental role in the crisis and
allowed it to be closer to customers, by offering them innovative solutions such as a
100% digital account or the new GloMo app, which incorporates facial recognition to
authorize operations. Hence, the use of digital channels, both the mobile application and
internet banking, will increase by more than 70% in 2020, an acceleration that is a trend
and is estimated to continue in the short term.
Another digital strength of BBVA Peru was the ability of its teams to, since the beginning
of the crisis, implement remote work and provide financial advice to clients through
virtual platforms and tools, at the same time that we were able to increase our market
share in consumer loans and credit cards, two key retail banking products.
Likewise, BBVA directed its efforts to promote the internal cultural transformation to
strengthen simpler and faster structures, which in turn allow it to adapt to the new
environment and face not only present challenges but future ones because social change
and technological development do not stop.
Lastly, I want to recognize that the achievements of BBVA Peru in 2020 would not have
been possible without the commitment and effort of the over 5 thousand employees that
constitute the organization, as well as the decisive support of you, its shareholders, who
commit us to continue offering the best of our personal and professional capacities for
the benefit of clients and the most sustainable and inclusive growth of the country.

Peruvian financial system
In 2020, loans from the financial system to the private sector grew by 17.2%4 (6.2% the
previous year), which is mainly explained by loans to companies, particularly to SMEs, in
the context of the Reactiva Peru program, which auctioned resources for approximately
S/ 55 billion. It is worth mentioning that the dollarization of loans was 21.4%5 (26.0% at
the end of 2019).

34.6% at the end of 20207. The considerable expansion of deposits is explained by the
implementation of the Reactiva Peru program and the withdrawals of funds from the AFP

As a priority, BBVA aspires to be the trusted financial partner for its clients in the
management and control of their finances on a day-to-day basis and thus help them
improve their financial health and achieve their goals. Undoubtedly, digitization plays a
key role in today's world, which is why the Bank seeks to acquire the best digital
platforms to help the client in this regard.
Another of BBVA's main objectives is to promote and support its clients in the transition
towards a sustainable future, which entails taking into account the implications that
clients' projects and the Bank's strategy and commercial processes may have on climate
change.
In 2020, BBVA Peru promoted green mortgage loans and strengthened its sustainable
commitment to education and the State, signing an agreement with the Ministry of
Education to promote the Leer es estar adelante program, which has served more than
6,000 children and trained more than 250 teachers in dozens of public schools.
23
Also, the Bank registered in the Ministry of Environment’s official Carbon Footprint tool,
committing to the State's sustainable development agenda.
Likewise, BBVA has remodeled the dining at Headquarters with the criteria of the EDGE
sustainable certification, which guarantees a substantial reduction in its impact on the
use of energy and water, as well as on the energy accumulated in materials.
BBVA seeks to accelerate its growth to serve more customers in the different segments
and with its various physical and digital channels. To achieve this, it builds a value offer of
means of payments and increases the customer's relationship with a better value offer of
its products.
Along those lines, the Bank simplified and improved the value offer of the credit card
portfolio, launching two new products in 2020: the Zero Card and the Fixed Fee Card.
Together with other financial service companies, it implemented PLIN, which provides the
client with a new digital payment solution. Also, to provide a better offer with more
personalized service, the segmentation of SMEs was redefined.
The team has always been, is, and will be a strategic priority for BBVA, which aspires to
have its purpose and values at the center of the strategy and the day-to-day life of its
employees. Thus, it seeks to attract and retain the best talent, for which it constantly
improves the experience of employees on their journey and repositions the BBVA
employer brand. Boosting employee engagement and performance, while ensuring that
they live out the company's values is a distinct goal.
In line with these priorities, in 2020 the Bank deployed the CREO cultural movement as
the main axis of its Cultural Transformation, renewed internal talent, and promoted the
training and experience of employees through various business schools and internal
training.
To accelerate transformation across the board, BBVA has Data and Technology enablers
as catalysts for innovation, which drive transformation based on data and deliver high-
quality solutions.
One purpose of the Bank is to accelerate the transformation of the business with the
constant contribution of new technological capabilities that generate stability, robustness,
and security in the systems. In compliance with this, in 2020 it enabled the secure Home
Office and strengthened the Contact Center to ensure post-covid continuity. It also
launched various Data Use Cases to improve productivity and free up employee time.

5.1.2. BBVA’s values

•We are empathetic: The Bank incorporates the customer's viewpoint from the
outset, putting itself in their shoes to better understand their needs.
•We have integrity: Everything that the Bank does is legal, publishable, and morally
acceptable to society.
•We meet their needs: The Bank is swift, agile, and responsive in resolving the
problems and needs of the customers, overcoming any difficulties that are
encountered.
We think big
It is not just about innovating but about causing a significant impact on people's lives and
that this leads them to improve their opportunities. The BBVA Group works with ambition
in pursuit of this objective, it is open to questioning everything and is not satisfied with
doing things reasonably well, but rather seeks excellence as a standard.
•We are ambitious: BBVA sets itself ambitious and motivational challenges to have a
real impact on people's lives.
•We break the mold: The Bank questions everything it does to consider new ways of
doing things, innovating, and testing new ideas which enable it to learn.
•We amaze the customer: The Group seeks excellence in everything it does to amaze
its customers, creating unique experiences and solutions which exceed their

People are the most important thing in the Group. All employees are owners and co-
managers of this project. They break the mold and trust others as well as themselves.
The Group, including its senior management, promotes global and local initiatives for the
continuous implementation and homogeneous activation of BBVA values in all countries.
In 2020, the new leadership traits - entrepreneurship, empowerment, and accountability -
were deployed, which were presented through a global communication and training plan
(leadership express) and integrated into the processes of the professional development
model, for their promotion among employees.
During 2020, BBVA advanced in the positioning of its values and leadership traits through
the CREO cultural movement, and under its umbrella, the third edition of the Global
Values Day was held, this time it was implemented with online gamified activities on the
BBVA Values platform, with the participation of 89,451 employees worldwide.
In Peru, workshops on values were organized that fostered the exchange of opinions and
experiences on how values and behaviors aligned with strategic priorities are lived. Led by
25
the agents of change of the CREO cultural movement, 2,162 virtual workshops were
developed for 3,064 employees.
Likewise, Challenge 1 of the movement was deployed: I Create Ideas, an initiative that
seeks to generate ideas for continuous improvement at all levels of the organization and
invites employees to take them into action. At the end of the year, 1,272 generated ideas
had been identified, several of which - such as the Bravo recognition platform or
#LaHoraCampusBBVA - will become a reality in 2021.
1. Identification of the material issues in 2020. Based on the material issues of 2019 and
the different tools of listening to the stakeholders managed by the Bank were reviewed, as
well as the most recent trend studies. The process allowed updating the list, which counts
as the main and inevitable novelty in the management of covid-19.
3. Prioritization of issues based on their impact on BBVA's business strategy. Since the
most relevant issues for BBVA are those that help it optimize its strategy, an assessment
was made of how each of them impacts the six Strategic Priorities.
The result of this analysis was the materiality matrix of Peru in 2020:
26
GRI 102-44
After the analysis, the four most relevant issues for BBVA in 2020 were:
Climate change; opportunities and risks: Stakeholders have climate change among
their main concerns and they hope that BBVA will contribute to an ordered transition
towards a low-emission economy, which will make it possible to stop it. This requires
adequate management of risks and opportunities.
Solvency and financial results: The stakeholders expect BBVA to be a robust and solvent
bank, thus contributing to the stability of the system. They also expect BBVA to be a bank
with good results over time. That is, they demand a sustainable business model in the
current context characterized by the continuous development of disruptive technologies
and the consolidation of Big Tech as competitors. A more competitive environment, with
more opportunities and also with more risks.
Easy, fast and do it yourself (DIY): The stakeholders expect BBVA to continue putting
technology and digitalization at the service of customers and the business. Thus, it will be
more agile and more simple for customers to operate with the Bank any time and from
anywhere (mobile banking, fully digital contracting processes, etc.). Also, new
technologies will allow BBVA for greater operational efficiency, generating value for
shareholders.
Financial health and personalized advice to customers: The stakeholders expect the
Bank to get to know its customers and, where appropriate, propose personalized
solutions and recommendations to better manage their financial health and achieve their
vital objectives, all this proactively.
The BBVA Group's main action focuses on sustainability are: (i) climate change, and (ii)
inclusive and sustainable social development; for which it has set priorities in both areas,
inspired by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations, with
particular emphasis on the SDGs with the greatest impact.
The Group will follow the following general principles of action in matters of sustainability:
27
•Progressively incorporate sustainability into the day-to-day of their businesses and
activities.
•Progressively integrate the opportunities and risks related to climate change into its
strategy, processes, and risk management, adding to its Risk Appetite Framework the
commitments that the Group's strategy implies.
•Ensure the direct and indirect environmental and social impact generated by its
activity and, specifically, in the climate field, progressively align its credit activity with
the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
•Leading its environment by example, setting renewable energy consumption targets
and reducing carbon emissions in the development of their activities.
•Encourage the involvement of all stakeholders to meet their expectations and
collectively promote a greater contribution of the financial industry to sustainable
development.
In 2020, BBVA launched its sustainability policy in which it presented its objectives
(hereinafter, the “Group sustainability targets”).
2. To integrate sustainability risk into its processes: Making climate change risks,
whether physical or transitory, part of the Group's management processes.
These goals are materialized in different lines of work entrusted to various areas, and a
supervisor has been appointed for each area.
Likewise, the Global Sustainability Office (GSO) was created, the unit responsible for
promoting and coordinating sustainability initiatives in the BBVA Group, which has the Likewise, the Global

It is worth noting that this policy is practiced, in their operating models, by the different
business and support areas of the Group. Its implementation is coordinated by the
Responsible Business department, which defines the standards and provides the
corresponding support, working primarily as a second line.
The Board of Directors and its various committees, as well as the Bank’s senior
management, are in charge of supervising the responsible banking model.

objective to provide the best experience.
Placing the customer at the center of the value proposition is the challenge. And do it in a
way that clearly and timely perceives the benefits of the BBVA strategy.
The methodology of the Net Promoter Score (NPS or Net Recommendation Index -
IReNe-), known and recognized internationally, allows to notice the degree of
recommendation and, therefore, the degree of customer satisfaction with the different
products, channels and services from the bank. This index is based on a survey that
measures, on a scale from 0 to 10, if a bank's customer is a promoter (score of 9 or 10),
neutral (7 or 8) or detractor (0 to 6), when asked If you would recommend your bank, the
use of a certain channel or a specific customer journey to a family member or friend. This
information is of vital importance to: a) validate the alignment between the client’s needs
and expectations with the implemented initiatives, b) establish plans that eliminate the
gaps detected and c) provide the best experiences.
1. Listen to the voice of the customer. A priority throughout 2020 was to consolidate
feedback collection mechanisms; For this, a monitoring system implemented in various
channels allowed evaluating the transactional and relational experience developed by
customers.
2. Quality Committee. Its primary objective was to promote the voice of the customer and
implement the actions identified as opportunities to improve the customer experience.
4. Proactive attitude. BBVA employees help to formulate and execute action plans to
achieve a higher customer recommendation.

To determine the degree of recommendation from customers, the Group uses the Net

recommended banking entities in the countries where it operates.
As of December 2020, BBVA ranked first in the NPS retail indicator with 36% and NPS
commercial with 65%.
Among the actions implemented during 2020 regarding the TCR Communication
principles are:
The information that the Bank provides to the client from the first contact must always be
given in a TCR manner. For this, the Commercial School, whose objective is to train all the
positions of the network, has the Onboarding to the position program, which offers all the
information necessary for the employee to fulfill their role. The Unique Experience
category has recently been incorporated into the curriculum, which reinforces the
knowledge of the principles of TCR Communication and ensures that advisors, executives
and bankers keep them in mind and use them from the moment they start customer
service in the office.
33
TCR product sheets
The TCR product sheets are graphic documents designed for the client, which explain the
main advantages, requirements and costs associated with the Bank’s products in clear
language and an easy-to-understand structure. They are found in the commercial
information portal (collaborative environment/the commercial portal), which office
executives can access at any time to share with the client.
The TCR files have a design that uses visual elements that facilitate the understanding of
the most relevant information and there are them for both natural and legal persons.

•In 2020, four Design Thinking training workshops were held with TCR inputs for
various profiles of the Bank, such as program managers, product owners and other
members of the scrum teams who work both on solutions and content for the client.
Given the context of remote work, the sessions –two aimed at employees in general
and the other two at leaders– were adapted to take place virtually. Regarding ad hoc
TCR, training was given on the application of TCR guidelines in advertising for the
agency that, since 2020, provides digital sales support.

two editions of training in Clear Language and in two training sessions in Accessibility,
organized by Holding. On the other hand, learning and knowledge about Inclusive and
Accessible Design were shared in one of the Design CoP sessions (Communities of

Customer Wellness
Contact Center
The situation experienced in 2020 caused a great change in the Contact Center
management model, which started to have an operation as a supplier for two service
fronts in one for seven. This meant that the traffic was distributed among two suppliers,
so as to ensure operational continuity with 42% in teleworking, 40% in Atento Peru, 7% in
Atento Colombia and 11% with a new GSS supplier, providing the advisors with
teleworking the necessary tools for safe care.
Hand in hand with the change in the management model and putting the customer at the
center of the decisions, the Bank sought to maintain the 98% target level of service,
without the Prime and Private segment being impacted throughout the year.
Likewise, the transformation process was accelerated, so that the Bank adapted to the
new behavior of the client, who seeks faster solutions, tripling the available self-
management services, offering them adapted options according to their relationship with
the Bank, as well as a process of more secure authentication. This generated greater

As a result of the new provisions decreed by the Peruvian Government, BBVA had to
quickly adapt to the changes in the National State of Emergency to manage care through
its digital channels, which went from 13% to 99% of registration of the claims. The
strategy included focusing on implementing new face-to-face and remote work
methodologies, with the pertinent security measures to avoid contagion and ensure the
continuity of the service.
The Bank experienced a considerable increase in the number of claims and requirements
during the pandemic due to cases associated with covid-19, to a figure that came to
represent 43% of monthly income. At the same time, the number of available advisers
dropped precipitously, forcing the hiring of additional staff, in this case hiring a second
backup supplier, who supported with 24% of the handling of the total claims.

The constant work to increase productivity and the levels of attention to which the client
is accustomed has been reflected in the latest statistics provided by ASBANC, which
indicates that the financial system suffered a 45% rise in claims, while BBVA it only got

In the face of fraud attacks, we have implemented a behavioral biometrics component in
all digital channels (natural and legal persons) so that we can have better precision in
detecting unusual accesses in customer accounts, reducing 20% of the impact on these
channels. This will mitigate fraud at its roots. Behavioral biometrics collects information
on the customer's performance in their benches, building a pattern through mouse
movement, typing, and key device data.
The security policies and procedures are available to all employees through the
collaborative tools that BBVA has. Along these lines, employee training is implemented
through virtual activities (BBVA CAMPUS) and is part of the mandatory training
(Regulatory Packs). The channel established for employees to transfer suspicious events
through the CERT global mailbox. In some areas that handle critical information, security
indicators have been established that influence performance evaluation, for example, in
the Branch Network.
Finally, we have maintained the ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 certification, which accredits
BBVA Peru as a mature organization and a benchmark in the financial sector to
adequately manage Information Security and the continuity of business line operations in
the event of any crisis event or interruption of services.
The pandemic generated by covid-19 placed the biosanitary security of BBVA employees
at the top of the annual agenda of the Talent & Culture (T&C) area. However, while the
initiatives and projects planned for 2019 by 2020 suffered a temporary hiatus, they began
to be implemented at high speed in the middle of the second quarter of the year.
Despite being a near unprecedented event, BBVA reacted from the first day of the crisis,
using all its resources to ensure a labor ecosystem that would reduce the risk of
contagion among employees both at the offices and at Headquarters. To this end, the
Bank covered all the fronts affected by the pandemic, from the constitution of a first-rate
medical team dedicated to exclusively attending to the employee and their family to the
development of a virtual prevention program, including the digital adaptation of the
workspace for increased safety.
The Bank established, in the first hours of the health emergency, a biosanitary emergency
protocol that included a remote work plan for the 2,500 employees at Headquarters.
Likewise, it implemented an intense coordinated effort at the national level to strengthen
biosanitary measures in its 310 offices, safeguarding the biosecurity of its more than
3,000 employees and hundreds of thousands of clients throughout the country.
At the end of the second quarter, BBVA created a task force dedicated exclusively to crisis
management in the biosanitary, process and service fields. His work notably reduced the
number of infections within the organization and kept it operational with a reduced report
of incidents.
37
Among the main actions implemented by BBVA in its strategy to face covid-19 were:
•Creation of the Business Execution Covid (BEX Covid) team, in charge of managing,
coordinating and monitoring the containment strategy and ensuring business
continuity in the pandemic scenario.
•Creation of various national and international crisis and war room committees,
especially dedicated to the monitoring and follow-up of crisis management.
•Preparation of biosanitary protocols, even stricter than those established by law, with
special care towards vulnerable employees. The process, which had the advice of Dr.
Eduardo Gotuzzo, one of the main epidemiological authorities in the country,
concluded with the 2020 Surveillance Plan for the prevention and control of covid-19,
approved by the Ministry of Health.
•Implementation of a pool of doctors dedicated exclusively to providing medical
attention by telephone to ensure adequate daily monitoring of possible positive
employees.
•Taking preventive disposal tests at the national level, through agreements with
certified laboratories.
•Assumption by BBVA of 100% EPS Rímac coverage for hospital care caused by
covid-19. Likewise, in alliance with the International Clinic, the "Virtual Doctor" service
was enabled.
•Migration of more than 2,500 employees from Headquarters and 1,500 from
Commercial Banking to the work-at-home mode through the “Virtual Desk” software,
equipped with a rigorous control system that preserves the same technological
capabilities to be able to develop the functions with normal.
•Deployment of the bus service in Lima and the provinces that facilitated the
transportation of employees during the most critical period of the pandemic.
•Dictation of the cycle of preventive talks and publication of the KO newsletter to the
covid.
•The talks had 95% participation from the network of offices and 70% from the
Headquarters.
•Development and deployment of the BBVA Tracing app, a mobile application that
detects and notifies the breach of the minimum distance allowed between two or
more employees who are physically working at Headquarters or in the branch
network.
•Installation of cameras with facial recognition and temperature taking at the
Headquarters.
•Conditioning and adaptation to the highest biosafety standards of the various spaces
in which employees of the Headquarters and network of offices work in person.

Once the first impacts of the crisis were assimilated and after a serene process of
reflection on the consequences that the pandemic will generate in future work and social
coexistence scenarios, T&C envisioned an opportunity to design and promote a new
corporate culture that contributes to renewing and enlivening the reciprocal commitment
between employees and the institution in a context of great uncertainty.
It was understood that the basis of the new culture should be in the renewal of a
leadership that is characterized by a greater closeness with the teams and is manifested
through the deployment of concrete actions, aimed at reinforcing the well-being and
growth of the employees in all the areas of life. Thus, and with the firm conviction that
“happy employees create happy customers”, T&C took on the challenge of transforming
the organization with the biosanitary crisis as a backdrop.
This was the genesis of the CREO cultural movement, an initiative that bases its principles
on the purpose (We create opportunities) and the three global values of the BBVA Group
(The Customer comes first, We are one team and We think big). Also, its architecture is
based on the BBVA leadership traits: Entrepreneurship, Empowerment and
Accountability.

protagonists in promoting and promoting change, with the aim that all employees assume CREO's goal is to

manifesto:
•I think for the client, because the client comes first: I make decisions and actions
focused on the client, both internally and externally, and constantly work to build a
culture of excellence in service.
•I think synergies, because we are a single team: I break the ground to collaborate as
a team in a coordinated way between areas, units and roles.
•I think big, because we think big: I constantly seek to break the mold, be ambitious
and aspirational to achieve excellence in all my actions.
•I think actions, because we are accountable: As a employee, I am responsible from
start to finish to make things happen.
•I think ideas, because we undertake: I generate and listen to new ideas to make the
necessary changes, without fear of making mistakes and seeing mistakes as an
opportunity to improve.
•I think decisions, because we empower: I am empowered in making decisions to
work in a more agile and effective way.
The CREO change strategy began with a diagnosis of the current culture and the
subsequent construction of the desired culture as a result of the feedback among
employees at all levels of the organization. In 2020, its evolution took place on five
fronts:
For three years, the Bank has dedicated a day to reflecting on the importance of
corporate purpose and values as guides on the path that employees should follow in their To the question of
daily work. In 2020, Values Day took on a different meaning, of a transcendent present whether BBVA values

face-to-face integration, it became one of the most significant corporate events in recent
years in the Bank's history.
Added to the emergency environment due to the health crisis was the presentation in
society of the CREO cultural movement which, precisely, proposes a leadership based on
the proximity of the teams and a management focused on the well-being of the employee,
on the basis of the values that define BBVA's path: The Customer comes first, We are a
single team and We think big.
Values Day became a forum for reflection and assumption of commitments with a long-
term vision of the future. The full Managing Committee embraced CREO's postulates,
with special emphasis on strengthening a leadership that promotes closeness. The big
conclusion: You don't have to be physically together to be a great team; The essential
thing is to share a goal and the firm conviction that together the members of the
organization can overcome any limit.
What is not measured does not exist. Although CREO's presentation during Values Day
had generated a series of spontaneous adhesions and support from employees from all
over the country, it was necessary to objectively measure the work implemented.
The Group calibrates the level of commitment of the teams in each country where it
operates, through a rigorous survey conducted by the prestigious Gallup firm. In 2020,
the test sought to define, in a range of 0 to 5 points, the real degree of impact registered
by the cultural transformation in BBVA Peru.
The Bank set the ambitious goal of 4.20 as its objective in the country and the result was
pleasantly satisfactory: 4.21; that is, a growth of more than 20% compared to 2019.
The score, although it generates enthusiasm and security about the path taken, does not
imply conformity or full satisfaction. T&C is fully convinced that, as CREO is adopted, the
levels of commitment will continue to rise, which will contribute decisively to the great
objective of achieving a score of 4.60 by 2024 and becoming the bank of choice for all
Peruvians.
BBVA began the transformation towards the Agile model three years ago. This
methodological renewal was anticipatory and timely in the face of the scenarios At the end of the year,

CREO cultural movement. Likewise, the necessary support was provided to the different
territories to find opportunities for development, growth and synergies.

Talent Acquisition
In 2020, Talent & Culture started the CREO cultural movement, which encourages all
employees to create actions to experience the behaviors aligned with the values and
global leadership traits of the BBVA Group on a daily basis, described in the section
“CREO, culture in motion".
BBVA Peru has a Professional Development Model whose main objective is to put people
at the center of the organization's actions, providing them with the tools they need to
make the best decisions about their professional life.
The three main elements of the model are: Know Yourself, Improve and Explore.
Aware that the basis for making good decisions is knowing yourself, the employee must
be clearly aware of their main objectives, strengths and abilities, for which they have the
following tools:
•Roles: Employees have a portal where they can easily identify what BBVA expects
from each person according to their role.
•Project Review: It is a quarterly evaluation process that evaluates the deliverables of
the teams that work on projects. With it, teams can make visible their contribution and
their level of alignment with the objectives and allows them to provide mutual
feedback to continue moving forward.
•Annual evaluation: In this 360° process, each employee knows their performance
results, the development of BBVA's intrinsic skills and their potential to continue
growing. At the end of the process, you get a detailed report with the results and a
summary of the feedback obtained by your leader, peers and employees. In 2020,
100% of employees with more than three months in the company went through this
enriching process.
2. Improvement
At this stage of the Professional Development Model, and after receiving the results
report, the employee manages actions that allow them to overcome the improvement
points identified in Know yourself. To manage your progress, you have the following
tools:
42
Campus BBVA promotes a culture of continuous learning, through a gamified
experience with B-Tokens, virtual currencies that, through a reward system, give value
to face-to-face or online training resources. Thus, the employee's self-learning is
promoted, who earns B-Tokens by taking virtual courses that they can then invest in
courses of their interest, mostly associated with their role.
The digital ecosystem also has training schools that enhance technical and intrinsic
skills aligned with BBVA's strategic priorities and that accompany the employee in the
development of their career. These schools are of three types: a) business, b) reskilling
and upskilling and c) intrinsic skills.
3. Explore
In this phase of the model, the employee has tools that allow them to identify new paths
and internal job opportunities in possible areas, or new disciplines that they might want to
develop. To do this, you have at your disposal elements that let you know the different
roles within the BBVA Group, apply for job offers, see career paths and even create a
personal roadmap through the following tools:
•Role Finder: It allows to know the requirements of other roles of interest. With this
information, the employee can establish actions to cover the improvement
opportunities required by the role they wish to access.
•Mobility: It enables any BBVA employee to apply to another role within the
organization at the national level, and even find one in any of the countries where
BBVA has a presence.
•Opportunity: It is the first tool that makes use of machine learning, since through
advanced analytics it allows predicting the professional path that each employee
wants to follow within the organization. Through the use of data, it offers you
personalized advice so that you can make the best decisions about your professional
development. Opportunity allows the employee to reflect on their current situation,
receive personalized recommendations based on their concerns, discover new paths
and establish professional goals according to their objectives. At the end of 2020, 70%
of employees had navigated and interacted with this tool, launched only in October of
that year.
The programs and initiatives that had to be stopped due to the emergence of the
pandemic, regained vigor and fresh air in the middle of the second quarter. Resuming
what was planned and under the objective of “improving the employee experience”
–one of the levers that sustain the vision of T & C– programs such as BBVA ModeOn,
which promotes work-life balance among employees, ended up being recognized in the
ANDA Awards as the Best Internal Employer Brand Campaign.
Likewise, and with the aim of continuing to provide the best work environment, the
process of adapting spaces to the new reality was consolidated, complying with the
highest sustainability standards in the development of construction works. This vision
of commitment to caring for the environment made it possible to obtain EDGE
certification for the remodeling project of the new dining room at Headquarters.

or health at risk, as well as encourages them to actively participate in the process of
improving work environments.
In this sense, the Bank’s objective is to generate an impact on the employee's working life
and extend it to family life in terms of risk prevention and health care. Within the 2020
pandemic scenario, a series of surveillance and control measures for covid-19 were

Due to the atypical nature of the pandemic, during 2020 the technical-preventive
monitoring procedures and preventive actions to improve working conditions migrated
from the aforementioned medical actions.
The constant shortage of personal protection elements for medical teams in the
framework of the state of emergency led BBVA to organize among its employees the
campaign ‘Your help is worth double’, which managed to gather more than 50,000
personal protection equipment (safety glasses, face shields, KN95 masks, suits, aprons,
and surgical gloves), which were delivered to the Ministry of Health (Minsa). Likewise, a
part of the proceeds was used for the purchase of ethyl alcohol, antibacterial gel, shoe
covers, surgery bars, masks, and clinical infrared thermometers, which were allocated to

The CBGC applies to all public limited companies in the country, but especially to those
that have securities registered in the Public Stock Market Registry (the “Registry”), which
are obliged to disseminate their good governance practices to the market. corporate. It is
made up of five pillars:
a. Shareholders’ rights.

The CBGC also includes compLimantary principles that apply to state-owned companies
and family businesses, considering that some of them have securities registered in the
registry.
Adherence to the principles contained in the CBGC by companies not only fosters a
climate of respect for the rights of shareholders and investors in general but also
contributes to creating value, strength, and efficiency in companies. In the same way, it
encourages better risk management to which companies could be exposed and facilitates
access to the capital market. As such, it reduces capital costs and favors greater and
better access to sources of financing and long-term investment.

“Compliance risks” are defined as the danger of incurring legal sanctions and financial or
reputational losses that an entity may suffer for failing to comply with laws, regulations,
rules, self-regulatory standards, and codes of conduct applicable to its activities.
56
In line with the corporate organizational structure, and to properly manage compliance
risks in BBVA Group entities in Peru, the Compliance area reports directly to the Board of
Directors, in a clear reaffirmation of the autonomy, importance, and independence with
which the Group has endowed it.
Under an agile organizational structure, the area consists of five disciplines, supported by
a process execution block (Compliance Execution) and a project development block
(Compliance Solutions):
During 2020, as a consequence of the global health emergency, the Compliance function
had two main drivers of action:
i) Due compliance with the emerging regulation, which required the implementation of
adequate procedures and protocols for action, in the shortest time. It was promoted and
ii) Need to ensure that the offer of products and services does not present streamlined, with the
deficiencies in the management of compliance risks. support of biometric

authority and independence of judgment. and debt rescheduling.
b. Maintenance or updating, as appropriate, of internal regulations, policies, and
procedures, to guarantee business continuity;
c. Support in the technological infrastructure, a crucial element for the effective
development of Compliance supervision and control activities remotely.
d. Permanent activity in risk assessment, both in the scenarios affected by the
changes, to define the mitigation actions that ensure the proper management of the
risks involved, as well as in those that were not hit.
e. Dissemination and communication of the relevant changes and actions, also
understood as a “re-education” in the new ways of developing activities, if applicable.
f. Continuity in the supervision and control of the established processes that did not
suffer the impact of the pandemic, while monitoring schemes were developed for the
changes implemented.
This management scheme made it possible to respond in a timely and effective manner
to activities with a high component of risk factors linked to the Compliance activity, even
in the context of the health emergency. Thus, it was promoted and streamlined, with the
support of biometric technology, the onboarding of clients in a non-face-to-face way, as
well as the attention of operations through non-face-to-face channels and credit
requirements, and debt rescheduling.

57
On the other hand, the Bank’s macro vision that any action is undertaken also requires
ensuring traceability for subsequent evaluation led to the implementation, in 2020, of
independent evaluations of both the regulators and the internal and external audit bodies.
This tool becomes increasingly relevant as the new normal becomes viable.
Regarding communication and training for the entire organization, the Bank has, also to

and corporate training tools–, with a Compliance Portal (intranet) It uses internally for the
following functions:
During 2020, the Internal Regulation Framework (self-regulation) was reinforced, through
the issuance and application of the Internal Regulation Standard to all bank units, having
defined that the update of the existing regulations will be implemented within a period of
two years.
Also to the Policy on Conduct in Securities Markets, the Anti-Corruption Policy, the
Prevention Policy in Matters of Conflicts of Interest, the Product Governance Policy, and
the Competition Policy, in 2020 the application of the General Policy on Conflicts of
interest. This is an integrating element of the other documents, which both in the
Compliance area and in the other units are used to manage conflicts of interest and which
applies to all local business units of the BBVA Group.
The Code stipulates very clearly that the behavior of BBVA employees must be legal,
morally acceptable and publishable, and provides guidelines for behavior per the Group’s
principles of prudence, integrity, and transparency. It includes procedures to help
employees resolve doubts and clarify the fulfillment of their obligations.
During 2020, the Compliance area once again reinforced the BBVA Group’s permanent
commitment to business integrity, promoting communication, training, and adherence to During 2020, the

acceptance of gifts or personal benefits, the development of professional activities, the
treatment and management of potential conflicts of interest, and the management of
personal assets.
58
The Bank has created the Corporate Integrity Management Committee as the highest
level body to oversee the proper application of the policies and guidelines included in the
Code. The Compliance area presents the evolution of all areas related to the Code at the
Committee sessions.
As indicated in the preceding section, in 2020 the General Conflict of Interest Policy came
into force, which reaffirms the commitment to manage the interests of the Bank’s
shareholders with absolute integrity, transparency, and objectivity, seeking to prevent the
occurrence of potential conflicts of interest. interests, or managing existing ones in the
best way.
As in the case of other policies, this provides general mitigation actions, as well as specific
actions to avoid incurring conflicts of interest. In this regard, the use, on a corporate basis,
of the Whistleblower Channel is also established, which includes all communication about
any possible breach of the policy, also to the governance model and sanctions framework
that apply to this policy.

Prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (PLMTF)
GRI 205-2
Among the objectives that the BBVA Group associates with its commitment to improve
the social environments in which it carries out its activities is the permanent prevention of
money laundering and terrorist financing (PLMTF).
The Bank considers that preventing its products and services from being used for
criminal purposes is an essential requirement to preserve corporate integrity and,
thereby, maintain the trust of the stakeholders with whom it is directly related
(customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers, etc.) and with society in general.
To this end, BBVA supports its actions on a corporate risk management model, which

It should be noted that, within the permanent training of employees, subsidiaries and
related parties in PLMTF, training activities were implemented, both face-to-face for new
entrants and remotely (online) for personnel dedicated to commercial work. In total, 99%
of employees engaged in commercial activities, and 98% of the general payroll were

Market conduct (Transparency and user protection)
Market conduct issues (Customer Compliance), in charge of the market conduct officer
(OCM), whose objective is to ensure the development of the following activities
established within the framework of the market conduct regulation issued by the
Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and AFP (pensions) (SBS):
•Assessment of risks for clients associated with BBVA products, services, and
activities, as well as promotion or implementation of measures to mitigate them.
During 2020, the application of the compliance model was consolidated in the new
product committees and the quality assurance program (PAC), ensuring the
intervention of the OCM from its conception and subsequent development, marketing,
and post-contracting.
•Coordination of action plans to adapt to the new requirements and criteria issued in
terms of user protection, mainly by the SBS. During 2020, and due to the health
emergency, a series of regulatory changes took place with a special focus on
consumer protection, which demanded the proactive action of the OCM to prevent the
materialization of non-compliances.
•Close and continuous collaboration with product and business development units,
with an emphasis on digital banking initiatives, to incorporate the vision of user
protection into their projects.
•Permanent updating of the internal regulatory framework for the correct marketing
of the Bank's products and services, especially in the proper application of the
regulatory changes provided in the field of market conduct.
•Participation in projects to improve and update the Bank's business processes and
computer systems, to ensure their alignment with the best practices for the
protection of customer interests. The emergency determined the need for ongoing
accompaniment by the OCM.
60
•Communication and training actions aimed at commercial networks in matters of
transparency and consumer protection. As each employee who attends a client/user
must be duly informed and permanently updated, the annual training program was
developed, extensive to all employees who provide support to internal processes, and
a periodic update of the reference material was implemented. offices through a
centralized application.
•Specific reviews of the information available to the public and the sales force, which
includes control of the application of commissions and expenses and their publication
in the branch network. All the communications issued were validated and the
commission governance framework was reviewed.
•Review of the contents of promotional campaigns and commercial actions of
productS/ services, in compliance with the principle of transparent, clear, and
responsible advertising (TCR) and the Advertising Self-Regulation Code signed by the
Association of Banks of Peru (ASBANC). For this, quarterly reports were made to
monitor advertising activity.
•Strengthening of compliance risk monitoring metrics and indicators, to promote a
preventive approach.
•Evaluation of customer complaints, internal and external audit reviews, and
examinations and requirements of regulators, which verified that these were
addressed within the current legal term.
To achieve synergies and simplify the communication of actions or situations that may be
contrary to the Code, the policies that develop it, or its values and guidelines, it was
established that the Whistleblower Channel is the means of communication of such
actions, regardless of the Group self-regulatory provisions.
During 2020, the analysis of the written and digital media did not identify any report
regarding controversial issues related to sustainability that affected BBVA.

Those people who in good faith report inappropriate facts or actions to the Whistleblower
Channel (emails and/or telephones) may not be subject to retaliation or suffer any
adverse consequences for such reason.
It is the task of the Compliance Unit to process the complaints received promptly and
diligently, promote their investigation and verify and promote the necessary measures for
their resolution following the complaints channel management procedures. The
information will be analyzed objectively, impartially, and confidentially, keeping the
identity of the complainant confidential.
It is worth noting that for some years now, special attention has been paid to complaints
that appear on social networks, several of which have been dealt with in the field of
conduct with the client, as indicated in the Code of Conduct.
Of the total number of complaints received about misconduct by employees during 2020,
36% of them were related to customers, 45% to colleagues, 17% to the company, and 2%
to society.
In 2020, very possibly due to the emergency, the number of complaints decreased by
22% compared to the previous year. However, it should be noted that 18% of the
complaints were made by email, with the identification of the complainant, and the rest
by the anonymous and free telephone mailbox, the other means used for the
management of communications through the Whistleblower Channel.
The timely and effective resolution of the complaints raised guaranteed due compliance
with the Code and consolidated confidence in the use of the Complaint Channel.
During the 2020 period, no complaint was received about any case of corruption at
BBVA.

Corporate Assurance

The Bank maintains the Corporate Assurance model launched in 2013, the purpose of
which is to strengthen internal control to allow senior management to have a
comprehensive view of the organization. A governance scheme was established that
involves senior management and is supported by the work implemented by the control
teams, which makes the model viable.
This scheme promotes the coordinated action of the three lines of defense, to increase
the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal control model. Also, it provides the
necessary management tools for the prioritization and escalation of matters related to
internal control.
For proper compliance with the mechanism, quarterly meetings are held in which the
members of the management committees of the Group and its subsidiaries participate.
The purpose of these meetings is to know and make decisions on control matters that
may have a significant impact on the objectives of the different units.
Internal Audit
The Internal Audit Department (IA) is a global unit that at a corporate level depends on
the Presidency of the BBVA Group and locally, on the Bank's Board of Directors, in charge
of overseeing the annual plan approved by it.
In this way, AI accompanies the digital transformation process in which the Bank is
immersed, so it has transformed its work methodology and adapted its internal
processes to be in tune with changes in the organization, obtain efficiencies and enhance
the work done.
The preparation of the Bank's annual plan is based on a Risk Assessment process that is
applied to all its areas and processes. The idea is that through continuous evaluation the
levels of inherent risk and control of each process are valued and the sources of risk are
identified, with which, if necessary, a specifically oriented revision proposal is made. Also
to this evaluation, the plan includes regulatory reviews established in current Peruvian
regulations and others requested by Management.
In the preparation of the annual plan, the coverage of a type of risk is taken into account
that allows maintaining adequate control in the organization. As established in the
regulations, any change in the plan must be approved by the Audit Committee and
reported to the local regulator.
As part of the constant improvements in the methodology, in 2020 the Risk Assessment
was kept updated and the work proposal was reviewed quarterly, so that, if it is necessary
to make any changes to the plan due to the appearance of a relevant issue, it is possible
to do it quickly and efficiently.

corporate principles: integrity of tax matters, prudence in the tax context, and tax strategy is duly

Thus, in 2015, the Board of Directors approved the “Corporate Principles on Tax Matters governing bodies.
and Tax Strategy”, which are framed within BBVA's corporate governance system and
establish the policies, scope, principles, and values that should guide the behavior of the
Group in tax matters. As they have a global scope, the principles, which are published on
the Group’s website, affect all the people who are part of the Bank and their compliance is
of the utmost importance, given the relevance and impact that the taxation of a large
multinational such as BBVA has a presence in the jurisdictions where it is present. This
guideline is in force and governed for action during 2020.
The policies and values that makeup BBVA’s tax strategy are supported and aligned with
the following corporate principles:
I. Integrity, as a manifestation of ethics in everything the Group does and in all its
relationships with stakeholders. In tax matters, this means respecting the rules and
cooperating with the different tax authorities within a relationship founded on good
faith.
II. Prudence, basically understood as a principle of due caution when taking risks.
BBVA always analyzes the tax implications as part of its decision-making process.
III. Transparency, as a maxim that governs all activity. We must always give clear and
truthful information, within the limits of legality. In tax matters, this implies being
transparent in the information that we provide to our clients and in the information
that we give to the rest of the stakeholders about BBVA’s activity.
Effective compliance with the provisions of the tax strategy is duly monitored and
supervised by BBVA's governing bodies. Accordingly, the Bank’s fiscal strategy is based
on the following basic points:
•BBVA’s decisions in tax matters are linked to the payment of taxes, as this is an
important part of its contribution to the economies of the different jurisdictions in
which it operates, aligning taxation with both the effective performance of economic
activity as with the generation of value in the different geographies in which it is
present.
•Active work to adapt to the new digital environment, also in tax matters, by
incorporating virtual presence to the generation of value and its subsequent valuation.
Similarly, seeking to adapt to the requirements in this matter by the tax administration
regarding the new channels of formal and substantial tax compliance, as well as with
participation in digital transformation pilots proposed by the tax administration.
•The establishment of a reciprocally cooperative relationship with the different tax
administrations, based on the principles of transparency, mutual trust, good faith, and
loyalty between the parties.
•The promotion of clear, transparent, and responsible communication with its
different stakeholders, on their main magnitudes and tax matters.
For this, the Tax Department has the support of qualified human resources and the
material and functional resources that it may need to achieve the objectives pursued by
the Principles. Thus, the different areas and businesses act following their internal
regulations and, in particular, with the Standard Framework for Fiscal Control, the
compliance of which is periodically reported to the governing bodies of BBVA.

Tax contribution
BBVA is committed to transparency in the payment of taxes and, driven by this effort,
voluntarily discloses its total tax contribution.
The total tax contribution of the BBVA Group (Total Tax Contribution Report, ITTC), which
follows a methodology created by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), includes payments,
both own and third parties, for income tax, general tax on sales, local taxes, and fees,
withholdings for the Tax on Natural Persons and Companies, as well as contributions to
the social security system, as well as those that are made during the year due to tax
litigation related to the aforementioned taxes. In other words, both related taxes (those
that represent a cost to companies and impact their results) and those that are paid on
behalf of third parties are included.
The ITTC provides all interested parties with the opportunity to understand the Bank’s tax
payment and represents a forward-thinking approach, as well as a clear correspondence
with corporate social responsibility, assuming a leadership position in tax transparency.
BBVA has a Global Procurement System (GPS), a global technology platform that
supports all phases of the procurement process in the BBVA Group, from the approval of
the budget to the registration and accounting of invoices (budgeting, purchasing, and

The Group carries out the different negotiation processes with its suppliers (RFIs, RFQs,
RFPs, electronic auctions, and final award rounds) through Adquira Podium, an electronic
platform that offers them the following advantages:
•Greater control, traceability, and visibility of the status of the different negotiation
processes in which it has participated.
•Agility, standardization, and automation of negotiation processes.
•Transparency and simplicity of the process.
•Comprehensive telephone advice on the operation on the portal for doubts, queries,

In 2020, BBVA evolved towards the global model with a progressive implementation
approach. The greater globalization in the purchasing activity through the framework of
new purchases and the creation of the Global HUB brings important opportunities:

Suppliers portal
The Supplier Portal allows the Group to interact electronically with suppliers that do not
yet work with it, by providing their data within a collaborative environment. This tool has
been a valuable aid for transparency when contacting those who wish to provide their
services to the Bank.

BBVA conducts a biannual survey to measure the degree of supplier satisfaction. Given
that the last version was implemented in 2019, with a result of 79 points, the next survey
will be implemented in 2021.
Suppliers
For BBVA, its suppliers are a fundamental part of its business model. Their relationship
with them is governed by the Group’s Code of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Ethics, the
Responsible Purchasing Policy, and the Standard for the acquisition of goods and
contracting of services.
(1) Suppliers who have billed the Bank are considered. Consider the amount without taxes.
(2) Suppliers with current approval as of 2020.
67
The Bank signs contracts mainly with suppliers of labor intermediation, work contractors,
outsourcing services, and the purchase of goods, among others. Depending on the
category, purchases are made with local or non-domiciled suppliers.

Since 2017, the supplier approval process for South American countries includes the
Reputational Risk analysis. In this way, the purchasing hub assesses, in a centralized
manner, all suppliers according to the criteria of reputational risk and susceptible to
homologation to determine the level of risk they may represent for the region.
•Establish governance over the assessment of reputational risk from the hub to the
South American countries for the faithful compliance of this variable within the
homologation process.
•Reduce reputational risk so that it does not negatively impact BBVA's stakeholders.
•Establish alerts and continuous monitoring of suppliers with potential impact on
reputational risk.
•Standardize the assessment of reputational risk at the South American level.
During the last quarter of 2020, a new BBVA Group Supplier Assessment model was
developed. The objective of the change was to assess the level of risk of the suppliers with
whom there are current activity and those with whom a relationship could be established
in the fairly near future.
The single and homogeneous evaluation, process, and result model for the BBVA Group
includes nine different types of risks (anti-corruption, legal, tax, labor, reputational,
country and concentration, technological, financial, and, finally, protection of the
clientele) and their defined weights, which allows you to identify the appropriate strategy
and decision-making with suppliers and the market. It has been designed and approved
by the Supplier Risk Management governance model, in consensus with the risk
specialists involved in the supplier evaluation process.
68
Every supplier must go through the evaluation process, to identify the level of associated
risk and verify that it conforms to the required quality standards.
The percentage of approved suppliers in 2020 was 4.76%, which accounted for 60.14% of
the total awarded. BBVA remains firmly committed to contributing to the economic and
social growth of the countries in which it is present. Thus, 98.31% of its suppliers were
local and represented 84.36% of the total billing. A local supplier is understood to be one
whose tax identification coincides with the country of the company receiving the good or
service.

Taking into account the previous focuses of action, and to deepen this strategic priority,
four main objectives are established:
CIB has developed a global strategic plan in which each geography participates in a very
coordinated manner in its launch and development. The Plan involves six global lines of En BBVA Perú, el equipo
action, each with its local lines of work for its development: de CIB cuenta con un
champion que representa

•Development of sustainable products and services: Preparation for each division
GTB (Global Transactional Banking), IB&F (Investment, Banking & Finance), and GM
(Global Market) of portfolios of sustainable products to offer to clients based on: a)
their interest or market situation in each geography and b) ability to offer the products
in each geography.
•Increased demand for ESG products in less developed markets: a) Active
leadership with local institutional investors, b) generation of ESG awareness in local
corporate clients, c) internalization of some of the expenses associated with ESG
operations (such as the cost of certification) and d) promotion of BBVA’s institutional
role within of the financial sector in each country.
•Organization: Appointment of champions at the level of each geography for CIB and
each product: CIB Sustainable Network. Establishment of an ad-hoc committee with
the Head of Sustainability Office, as well as local committees, to monitor the business.
•Knowledge and community: ESG technical training focused on priority sectors.
•KPI: Agreement of certain KPIs between the client and the Bank to monitor each
operation or project and thus maintain the rating.
At BBVA Peru, the CIB team has a champion who represents geography and different
champions by product. The main actions of initiatives developed by the CIB team at the
local level are detailed below:
•DCM (Debt Capital Markets): With the commitment to promote the issuance of ESG
bonds, the DCM team advises and accompanies clients who want to make their
commitment to sustainability known. Locally, it contacts the Lima Stock Exchange
(BVL), which is the entity that “labels” the ESG instruments (bonds or papers) that are
issued in Peru. On occasions, he approaches potential issuers together and with the
support of the Global team, he manages action plans (visits, calls, pitches, etc.),
objectives, and monthly follow-ups to them. All activities related to potential issuance
of ESG bonds are placed in a template that can be accessed by those who lead DCM
initiatives in the parent company, from which, in turn, comes a Bulletin with the
issuance of ESG Bonds that are given in the different geographies, whether BBVA
participates in them or not.
71
•GTB (Global Transactional Banking): Its main action plan was the signing and
development of the Transactional Framework of the Sustainable Transactional Product
at a global level, which allows credit lines that are linked to sustainability to be
classified as such (green, social, and sustainable). All the geographies in which GTB is
present have adhered to said Framework, under which GTB Peru closed the first
operation in 2020, together with Compartamos Financiera, for US$ 35 million.
•Global Markets: Although the market for financial products linked to sustainability is
relatively new, one of Global Markets’ main objectives for the coming years is to
increase the offer of structured products (investment and hedging) that incorporate
ESG criteria. For GM it is important to offer the client the possibility of investing in
products that are backed by sustainable financing, as well as alternative underlying in
the market that seeks to promote a sustainable future. Likewise, it is proposed to
generate coverage products for clients associated with sustainability KPIs that
promote a culture of greater sustainable responsibility in companies.
Launched in November 2020, the Sustainable Vehicle Credit is aimed at facilitating the
acquisition of hybrid and electric cars, with the first specific product for the Peruvian
financial market that allows access to a renewable energy vehicle.
The loan can finance up to 100% of the value of the vehicle (subject to credit evaluation),
with the possibility of including an additional 10% that covers prepaid maintenance. The
repayment term is up to 72 months, with vehicle insurance that includes additional
coverage for trips by bike/motorbike/scooter at no additional cost. Also, it has a very
special rate of 7.99% EAR.
Thus, extra financial risks can affect the credit profile of the borrowers or the projects
being financed, which in turn would damage the quality of the risk assumed and,
consequently, affect the repayment of the credits.
To manage these risks, BBVA takes into consideration, along with the usual financial
variables in risk management, environmental, social, and reputational aspects. The
integration of these aspects is consistent with the principle of prudence that governs the
Bank's activity and is specified in different lines of action.
Thus, BBVA assumes the EPs as the starting point for applying the best responsible
financing practices and the framework for dialogue with clients and groups interested in
the projects it finances. Thus, they have become the reference standard for responsible
financing, and their development and dissemination are a commitment assumed by the
Management Committee and the working groups in which it participates.

impact, as well as its submission to the monitoring of a specialized team.
During 2020, the project analysis methodology was maintained, which consists of
submitting each transaction that is presented to a due diligence process in two
fundamental aspects: environmental and social. This begins with the assignment of a
category (A, B, C), as established by the IFC classification process. The review of the
documentation provided by the client and by the independent advisers makes it possible
to assess compliance with the requirements indicated in the EPs based on the two
aspects mentioned.
Based on this scheme, project financing is categorized according to its levels of social and
environmental risk. This contributes to the assessment of the probability and severity of
the impacts of the economic activities exposed to them and favors early action to prevent
or reduce their undesirable consequences.
The Investment Banking & Finance team assumes the responsibilities of analyzing the

assessing their impact.
•The Assurance Suppliers, whose mission is to assess and mitigate the identified
risks.

areas since the subject that brings them together has very varied origins. The RRM report

includes the aggregate view of risks, for which it considers local regulatory requirements.
The governance implemented is consolidated with the strengthening of the methodology
and the development of a computer tool for its management.
This work prioritizes two variables: the impact on stakeholder perceptions and BBVA's
strength in the face of this risk. This is an exercise focused on the reputation that is
implemented in all the geographies where the BBVA Group operates, the integration of
which allows a consolidated view to be obtained.
Since 2015, a computer tool has been used to facilitate risk assessment by the
competent areas. It was in 2018 that the figure of the reputational risk specialist was
established, which was an important milestone in the development of the Bank's three
lines of defense model.
Thus, BBVA has a Reputation Risk Operating Committee, made up of the areas of
Operational Risk and Internal Control, Regulatory Compliance, Corporate
Communication, and Corporate Responsibility and Reputation (which performs
secretarial duties). The Committee is responsible for designing the reputation risk
management model, as well as promoting its proper implementation within the Group. Its
conformation at a global level is replicated in the different geographies.
The Bank considers that the socioeconomic and environmental environment directly
influences the development of its activity. For this reason, its highest governing bodies
– the Board of Directors and the Assets and Liabilities Committee (COAP), made up of
members of the Management Committee – have permanent access to the reports on the
economic and social situation of the country that BBVA Research prepares monthly.
These documents include the analysis of facts, conflicts, or environmental measures that
have occurred in the country or in the world, which may cause an impact in the regions
where the Bank operates, such as what happened with the health emergency generated
by covid-19. This information is key for decision-making.
On the other hand, the Bank's Purchasing, Real Estate, and General Services Unit is
responsible for verifying that suppliers have undergone the PE evaluation, an essential
requirement for them to be considered suitable to carry out transactions during the term
of the contract. This process makes it possible to determine the reliability of its suppliers
and the correct support of its transactions, which is a key aspect of BBVA's ethical
framework.

Initiatives 2020
During 2020, BBVA Peru, continuing with the sustainability guidelines, implemented the
following initiatives and projects to achieve lower consumption and more efficient use of
our resources, as well as maintaining (and in some cases incorporating) the certifications
related to the subject:
Through the Peru Carbon Footprint platform, the Bank measured its Greenhouse Gas
emissions, for which it received recognition by the Ministry of the Environment as a
pioneer and leader in the use of the tool. In 2020 we achieved the first star by
measuring the Carbon Footprint, during 2021 we aim to receive the second star through
the verification of our emissions.
The first project, called Open Space, includes the renovation of all the electromechanical
installations of the main building with solutions that allow optimizing the use of:
•Energy: The spaces have LED lighting, which by their nature is equipment with low
electricity consumption, and presence detectors in areas such as meeting rooms and
SSHH, which allows correct use of the resource only when necessary.
•Water: Enabling energy-saving taps and low-consumption sanitary devices.
This second applied project, the design of the new dining has the EDGE certification and,
to access it, savings of 20% in energy, 40% less water consumption, and 57% reduction
in project materials were achieved. Also, plastic recycling and proper waste management
have been implemented.

5.4.5. Products with high social impact
People-centered solutions
GRI 102-2, 103-2
One of BBVA's constant objectives is to integrate social attributes that make a difference
into the products and initiatives of its daily activity. To do this, it designs its products and
services with an impact greater than that already generated with its ordinary activity, by
having a focus on:
•Financial inclusion
•Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
•Individuals with special needs
•Socially responsible investment
Financial inclusion
In alliance with ASBANC and PDP (Peruvian Digital Payments), BBVA launched in
February 2016 BIM (mobile wallet), a proposal for mobile payments interoperable
between all the banks in the system.
At the end of 2020, BIM had 26 participating financial entities, more than 1.1 million users
(of which 137 thousand chose BBVA as issuer), and more than 12.2 million transactions
implemented in the channel; that is, +57% and +11%, respectively, compared to the
previous year.
The context of the covid-19 pandemic was a real challenge and implied a synergy
between the state and private spheres to implement social support projects such as the In 2020, the GloMo

categories. To generate a simple and clear value offer for the client, work was done on
simplifying the portfolio of savings products with two of the most valued drivers: cost-free
operations (transactionality) and access to prizes for maintaining savings with BBVA.
The transactional account Cuenta Independencia was promoted with a clear message:
zero cost in commissions at the national level, also to the Mundo Independencia benefits
program, which offers discounts at associated establishments, which contributes to the
customer being able to save on their consumption. For its part, Cuenta Ganadora
increased the opportunity to win its prizes by adding the weekly version to the classic
semi-annual raffles.

Additionally, for customers who receive their payroll at BBVA, the Mundo Sueldo loyalty
program was reinforced and the offer of discount value continued to be improved for both
Lima and the provinces. Likewise, in the context of the health emergency that occurred in
2020, discounts were included in the most used establishments, such as restaurants with
delivery and health centers.
Co-responsible cashiers
In 2020, the correspondent channel Agentes BBVA grew by more than 5,200 points of its
own, which consolidated the Bank’s presence at the national level. At the end of the year,
it had 5,206 agents, 43% of them located in the provinces.
As the greater capillarity of the channel allows serving more customers, the number of
those who used it per month increased by 30%, compared to 2019. It should be noted
that even being in a situation of pandemic and national emergency, the number of clients
for December 2020 exceeded one million.
Business support
In 2020, due to the impact of covid-19, BBVA promoted the government’s largest business
aid program: Reactiva. With this program, more than 38 million disbursements were
made for almost S/ 15,000 million, which made the Bank one of the main participating
financial entities.
In 2020, BBVA has about 62 agreements with public companies, to which consumer
loans are offered with special conditions, and payment is made through payroll
discounts.
BBVA was an important player in the development of the real estate market in 2020,
registering a net increase in mortgage loan balances of S/ 21 MM, which reached
S/ 12,868 MM, that is, a market share of 26.47% (to November 2020) for the end of the
year.

showed a great performance not only due to their respective developments but also
because they boosted the sector and generated organic growth in the real estate business,
breaking disbursement records in the last quarter.
89
To distinguish and make the mortgage offers visible by type of home and to be competitive
in each of them, the Bank launched a promotional campaign under the concept of
“Welcome Promoter”, with a differentiated offer.
By 2021, the Bank expects to grow above 9% in mortgage balances and thus meet the
challenge of doubling its presence in placements of social loans, as well as developing
residential housing projects that have energy improvements and care for the environment.
This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for BBVA, as Peru is the youngest country in
the region in this area.
Omnichannel
BBVA has designed an omnichannel strategy to serve customers in the most timely
manner, regardless of when, how, or where they want to access the different services that At the end of 2020, the

Internet banking
The BBVA website (www.bbva.pe) received approximately 61 million visits in 2020. The
public portal allows access to the private Internet Banking area, which recorded more
than 960 million transactions during the completed period.
The Bank has 4.6 million active clients, of which 3.3 million are affiliated with digital channels.
Mobile banking
Mobile banking is growing continuously and in 2020 it obtained 1,087k mobile clients,
which represents a penetration of 45.75% within the target clients. The permanent
evolution of the Mobile Banking app (85% on Android devices and 15% on iPhone) made
it possible to carry out 3.656 million transactions (monetary and non-monetary) from this
type of device.
Digital Sale
During 2020, the pandemic harmed the growth of the sale of active products in digital
channels, so at the end of the period, it showed an increase of only + 3% of units sold
compared to 2019.
2020 turned out to be a paradox for the business. On the one hand, sales of consumer
loans and credit cards were highly affected, registering a drop, compared to 2019,
of –49% units sold in both categories. On the other hand, the confinement and social
measures provided by the Government boosted savings, leading to + 43% growth in
digital savings account sales, and + 14% in mutual fund subscriptions. Also, more than 1.1
million operations were implemented and more than 739 million soles were exchanged for
“BBVA T-Cambio”.

Customer solutions
BBVA is leading the digital transformation of Peruvian banking with numerous launches of
technological products and services that make customer life easier.
Along these lines, in February 2020, BBVA launched its new BBVA (Mobile Banking) App,
which replaced the previous version and came with several benefits:
91
•Improved presentation: A much more modern and visually cleaner interface,
homologated at the BBVA Group level.
•Ease of processes: More intuitive flows that reduce operational times and errors for
customers.
•Greater security: Facial and finger biometrics as additional mechanisms to the
Digital Token.
On the other hand, the Bank announced the launch of Plin, which allows transfers
between BBVA and also Interbank, Scotiabank, and BanBif with the following benefits:
It should be noted that, given the complicated situation of 2020, the use of digital
channels became essential, by encouraging less use of cash, which led, for example, that
in the period concluded 2.7 million transfers were generated by Plin from BBVA, and 9.5
million transfers between all the banks in the consortium.

The health situation and the measures ordered by the Government made it necessary to
rethink the activities of the program for the 2020 school year, traditionally structured for
face-to-face development, which considerably affected rural areas of the country.
Distance education designed by the Ministry of Education (Minedu) had as its main pillar
the initiative Aprendo en casa, to which the Foundation managed to incorporate content
from its Leer es estar adelante program.
The few possibilities for rural families to access the TV, internet or cell phone signal
complicated the scenario. Faced with this situation, access to the internet, the telephone,
and the radio were the means of communication with the greatest coverage in the areas
where the LEEA project is implemented, which led to focusing activities through the
effective use of these means of communication.
The pedagogical and logistical challenges that had to be faced to guarantee that children
in the areas where the program is applied could have the educational service in the
situation led to the following objectives in the face of the emergency:

institutions participating in the program found themselves, the following activities were
planned:

was shared with each of the teachers.
For the 2020 school year, a pedagogical support strategy was designed, the purpose of
which was to assist the program's teacher in the distance education exercise. This was
achieved through: 1) training for the effective use of five pedagogical folders and
2) training meetings and talks on teaching and learning topics, as well as emotional
support through the zoom platform.

www.fundacionbbva.pe. Also, throughout the year four webinars were held for the
pedagogical community with relevant topics, referring especially to the teaching of
history, which achieved 74,000 views.

joint effort with PERU LNG, received the 2020 Sustainable Development Award from the

Due to the health crisis, the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art of Cusco (MAP Cusco) closed
its doors to its tenants and visitors from March 15 to November 12, when it was able to
reopen them after implementing a strict biosafety protocol approved by both the
Peruvian State, through the Ministries of Culture (Mincul) and Health (Minsa), as well as
BBVA’s Health and Safety at Work area. For this reason, the museum received a total of
5,843 visitors in 2020.
In this context, MAP Cusco developed strategic alliances that will allow it to have greater
visibility at the national level. Thus, thanks to an agreement with Promperú, the museum

The health emergency generated by covid-19 motivated BBVA to adapt various activities
to the virtual format to strengthen relations with its different stakeholders.
One of the activities that generated the most interest was the conversation that Fernando
Eguiluz, CEO of BBVA in Peru, had with Randi Zuckerberg, former marketing director of
Facebook and CEO of Zuckerberg Media. At the meeting, they discussed various aspects
related to the future of the digital transformation of companies in the context of the global
health crisis, among which they highlighted the importance of adapting and training
teams for the new work habits generated by the pandemic.

Fixed Fee Card: Its name refers to the fact that it allows the user to pay the same amount
every month, regardless of what they have consumed during the billed period. Launched
in December, it offers the facility of contactless payment, and consumptions are always
charged in soles, regardless of the currency in which they were made. The fixed fee that
the client must pay reaches 10% of his line, which includes the revolving capital, interest,
expenses, and commissions; If the total consumption is less than the established quota,
the payment is too. This card, which also does not charge for membership, acquires
greater importance since it will promote financial inclusion.
Plin: On the digital level, BBVA actively participated in the launch of this feature that
allows money transfers between accounts at different banks with only the contact’s cell
phone number. It is an effort by the financial system to reduce the use of cash in the
country, thus helping to improve the security of operations. At the end of 2020, Plin
added more than two million registrants and BBVA intervened in more than 38% of the
101
transactions implemented. Likewise, the functionality allowed the Bank to reach new
customers and increase its acquisition by 67%, strengthening its acquisition through
digital channels.
GloMo: BBVA was the first bank in the Peruvian market to use this application, which
includes a series of innovations, such as biometric technology, which uses facial or finger
recognition as a security mechanism to enter and confirm operations. GloMo seeks to
become a standardized version at the Group level and before it arrives in Peru it was
launched in Spain and Mexico. Its main competitive advantage is its “global aspect”, which
allows the adaptation of progress in each country where BBVA operates, which facilitates
the development of new functionalities in the shortest possible time.
As a result of the health situation, BBVA provided a series of measures to help its clients
and actively supported the Government in the delivery of social assistance vouchers,
aimed at the neediest sectors, for which it made its offices available at the national.
On the other hand, BBVA Peru granted important facilities for clients, which allowed the
rescheduling of more than 225 thousand loans, for approximately S/ 20 MM, which
represents 31% of the Bank's total portfolio; Of these, 73,714 were individuals, who were
able to reschedule their loans without interest for S/ 1,649MM. Programs were also
designed to postpone and freeze debts, as well as to consolidate consumer loans and
credit cards, by extending the payment term and reducing installments of up to 40%.
Finally, with the idea of facilitating customer operations during the health emergency,
BBVA temporarily eliminated commissions for cash withdrawals from the ATMs of any
bank nationwide.

increase the frequency of contact, providing security. Thanks to this link, it was possible
to attend to queries, needs, and requirements, which finally resulted in the generation of
new business opportunities.
Consumer loans: The balance of consumption increased by 16% thanks to the recovery
of productivity per banker (29%), which allowed, despite the situation, to exceed the new
production by 4% compared to 2019. These figures are a consequence of the An impulse
given from the second half of 2020, in which the restrictions to combat the pandemic
were eased, which reduced uncertainty and allowed the number and amount of loans to
grow.
Credit card: The growth of credit card balances was encouraged, through a 29% increase
in the purchase of debt and cash versus 2019 and the maintenance of consumption
levels. The digital linkage and communication strategy allowed, on the one hand, to make
improvements in the conditions of the product to a group of customers of the stock,
which favored a significant re-stacking and, on the other hand, to execute a
communication plan, based on the knowledge of the client, by providing benefits in
establishments where they usually consume or in other related establishments, for which
behavioral economics tools were applied.
Mutual funds and structured products: Mutual fund balances increased by 36% and
structured products by 18%, as a result of the implementation of a fund-raising strategy
based on the correct investment advice, leveraged in a medium and long-term horizon

and a differentiated offer according to the Client’s profile. Additionally, and aligned with
the new constructability model, virtual events were generated by strategic partners such
as E&Y, PIMCO, and JP Morgan, which not only allowed the contracting of products but
also provided security to the client for decision making.
c. Private banking
In 2020, the consolidation of BBVA Private Banking continued, aimed at high net worth
clients, who receive highly personalized attention through a banker and an associate
executive –as well as an investment advisor if advice is required on specialized
investments– in any of the three exclusive offices located in top areas of Lima.
As part of the initiatives, the bank's management model was improved to allow, through a

continued.
Consumer loans: The loan balance increased by 37%, led by BBVA Collateral, financing
with a guarantee on client investments. Finally, throughout the year, and in line with
always being close to the client, providing first-hand information on issues relevant to
wealth management, webinars and live broadcasts were held on different topics, such as
the economic situation, financial markets, alternatives. investment and tax issues, with
guests, specialized in each subject, such as EY, BBVA Research, BBVA Asset
Management, JP Morgan, PIMCO, among others.
a. Business Banking
The value offer was improved with the launch of the unnamed Working Capital Card,
which decentralized the issuance of plastic by providing a more agile process in the
delivery of the product and, consequently, an improvement in the customer experience.
As part of the Government’s guarantee program to offer a quick and effective response to
the liquidity needs faced by companies in the face of the impact of covid-19, BBVA
actively participated through the Reactiva, Crecer, and FAE funds, which granted
financing and benefited more than 30,000 clients in the segment.
During 2020, different improvements were developed in BBVA Net Cash, to consolidate it
as a support platform for the operations that the client needs.
At the end of the first quarter, Fast Cash with insurance was implemented, which allows
the client to pay their loans associated with some type of insurance (credit life, property
or guarantees). The year closed with the activation of BBVA Net Cash from the
application and the possibility of interbank transfers 24 hours a day. These improvements
were key to continue encouraging the use of digital channels.
103
The Bank strengthened strategic alliances with POS suppliers, making new collection
solutions available to customers, such as collection links and virtual stores, which allowed
companies to have more collection channels for their customers.
Finally, to strengthen the insurance portfolio for the segment, the Salud a tu Alcance
insurance was promoted, which allows obtaining compensation for cancer diagnosis and
a benefit of outpatient medical care for the client and their family group.
Under the Reactiva Program, the commitment of 3,235 credits was reaffirmed, for a total
of S/ 6,970MM. Under the Reactiva

c. Transactionality
2020 was a challenging year for companies, which due to the state of emergency had to
renew their way of operating, reinvent their products and business model, also to
adopting the new digital way of collecting and paying. In this sense, the Bank
accompanied its adaptation to the new environment with the best Cash Management
solutions for all segments, according to the needs of each client.
BBVA Netcash's offer of value was boosted and new agile and digital contracting
processes were implemented, which made it possible to reach historical records in new
customer affiliations, with a growth of 115% compared to the months before the
pandemic. In this way, the Bank contributed to maintaining the chain of payments to
suppliers and employees, without the need to go to an office.
The launch of immediate interbank transfers in October 2020 and its 24x7 version in
November allowed companies to make their payments instantly 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, and increased transactions by 42,160.
Also, work was implemented on simplifying the contracts for all transactional products, in
such a way that the documentation required from clients was reduced by 35%. Likewise,
to encourage operations through digital channels, which are cheaper and generate
savings in companies, the commissions of all products were adjusted to the new market
conditions. Collection operations reflected an important growth of 37% compared to
2019, with more than 4.5 million transactions per month. Of these operations, 57% were
implemented through digital channels, 11% more than in 2019, due to the recruitment of
new companies that had to close their collection centers due to the situation and the
growth of the internet and commerce recharging market electronically.
d. Multi-channel
Regarding digital channels for natural persons, the continuous improvement of the
customer’s user experience was sought. The new BBVA app was launched, a completely
re-powered digital channel, with a more intuitive format and with new security
mechanisms, such as biometric authentication to enter the application and to confirm
operations.
104
At the end of 2020, the app had more than 2.5 million users and a meticulous follow-up
was implemented for its continuous improvement according to what they revealed. For
that same date, the channel was valued with 3.2 stars in the Playstore rating and 3.8 in
the Appstore; the goal by 2021 is to reach at least 4.0 on both listings.
Additionally, PLIN was included in the BBVA app, the P2P transfer platform for Bank and
consortium clients. At the end of 2020, this service had more than 1 million affiliated
clients, who executed more than 2.7 million P2P transfers. Its main immediate objective is
the inclusion of operations through the QR.
In 2020, the Bank concentrated its efforts on accelerating the maturation of its network

that allow it to develop its activity based on business priorities and in an attempt to
achieve strategic goals.
Along these lines, it was established that the BEC management model would articulate
the different protocols to establish homogeneous work schemes among themselves, so
that those who lead teams and business units can communicate the strategy clearly to
the entire network, motivate and develop accordingly. continuously to their groups and
thereby maximize the achievement of results.
The implementation of the new model based on the principles of management by value,
customer orientation, commitment and empowerment, achieved the creation of
sustainable value and the professional growth of the teams. The success achieved
prompted the design of the management model leveraged in the Digital Workplace tool,
which will be deployed during 2021.
BCOM: An initial diagnosis was made on the functionality of certain protocols and the
structure of some of them was updated within the new management model. The idea is to
align them more precisely to the current reality of the business, to follow the variables of
the total mobilization plan, and to generate a coaching space for the office manager with
his team.

6.1.1. Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB)
In the field of global business, during 2020 the Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB)
area implemented its activities on two pillars: Global Banking and Global Markets.
Within CIB there is a Chief Operating Officer, a support unit in charge of bringing results
and management reports, leading the execution of strategies and developing key
indicators, as well as providing operational support to the entire business.
BBVA has teams specialized in offering products, services, and comprehensive solutions
that generate global reach opportunities for its clients: large national and foreign
corporations.
In 2020, IB & F's commercial activity presented a good performance in direct loans,
mainly aimed at corporate clients in the energy, infrastructure, mining, and industrial
sectors, among which the loans to Buenaventura, Belcorp, and Supermercados Peruanos
stand out. In Project Finance, the most outstanding operations were those implemented
for Salaverry Terminal Internacional, Lima Airport Partners, and Lima Expresa.
Likewise, in the capital market (ECM), BBVA structured and placed a new issue of Fibra
Prime, a securitization trust for investment in real estate income. On this occasion,
US$ 20 million were placed to continue developing its portfolio and generate greater
diversification in the assets under management. The transaction is part of a total program
of US$ 500 million, which will continue to be implemented in the coming years.
In 2020, Global Transactional Banking (GTB) Peru consolidated its offer of direct channels
for multinational companies, which at the end of the year managed to get 107 economic
groups to use the solution. Thus, the increase in the number of clients that migrated to
digital channels not only led to a 45% reduction in the number of manual operations
received but also improved the customer experience and streamlined operations in user
treasuries.
On the other hand, more than 130 new companies were linked to the Net Cash app mobile
solution, which allows the client, also to viewing their balances, to authorize their
operations in an agile and above all secure manner. This solution is complemented by the
benefit of having a digital token, one of the benefits offered by the Net Cash app.

ranking, participated in the second most important operation in the history of the Lima
Stock Exchange, and, not least, ranked first in a number of primary issues.
The Debt Capital Markets team led the local capital market with the structuring and
placement of seven public issues (30% of the market), for a total of S/ 504 million (31%
of the market). One of the main transactions of the year was the issuance of the
MiVivienda Fund for S/ 240 million, with a term of 7 years. It was the second consecutive
year that the fund issued debt in the stock market accompanied by BBVA as structuring
and underwriter.
By anticipating rate reductions in the market, the balance sheet positioning focused on
lengthening the duration of the Fixed Income portfolio. In this way, it was sought to
compensate for the reduction in the expected financial income through a Fixed Income
portfolio with higher profitability. On the liability side, the focus was on continuing to
reduce its duration and work intensively and in coordination with the business teams to
reduce rates. In this way, it was possible to have a reduction in financial expenses of
25.6% in all of 2020 vs 2019, the second-largest savings among our peers.
Finally, another important role during 2020 was the implementation, on the liability side,
of government programs such as Reactiva, Fae, and the Reprogramming Repos launched
by Cofide, the MEF and the BCRP. This allowed rapid deployment of these programs
within the Bank and thus ensure a leading role for BBVA among the peers.
107
6.1.3. Risk management
Risk management plays a fundamental role in BBVA Peru’s strategy, as it guarantees the
solvency and sustainable development of the entity.
For effective management with a comprehensive vision, the BBVA Peru Risk Area is
organized according to the type of risk. To seek synergies and achieve greater integration
of the processes ranging from strategy and planning to implementation in management
–and within an adequate control environment verified by the Risk Internal Control Unit–,
the Portfolio unit, Management, Data & Reporting consolidates transversal and support
functions for risk management.
Independent
Global
As part of integrated management, the Portfolio, Management, Data & Reporting Unit
designs, develops, and implements models and tools that provide support to credit
processes for the development of the risk function.
The monitoring of the BBVA Peru portfolio is implemented through analysis, reports and,
constant monitoring, to guide an adequate execution of the strategy of constant
compliance with the pillars of risk quality and sustained profitability following capital
consumption. Only permanent coordination with the other BBVA Peru support areas
allows risks to be efficiently integrated into the commercial process.
108
Portfolio Management, Data & Reporting
Retail risks
The following fundamentals describe credit risk management in the retail environment:
The detection of warning signs and high-risk groups is implemented based on statistical
information and monitoring management of the Risk Portfolios of Natural Persons and
Business Banking.
Wholesale risks
He is in charge of credit risk management in the business segments of the Retail Network,
Business Banking, Institutions, Global Clients, IFIS, and the Real Estate Sector by
integrating –based on the lines of action defined in the credit risk policy wholesaler–
origination, admission, and follow-up phases.
As part of the Group's strategy and considering the challenging environment of the local
market as a result of the spread of covid-19 and the measures taken by the Government
to contain it, BBVA strengthened control of asset allocation limits and suggested sector
profiles, in such a way consistent with the risk appetite and hand in hand with the
evolution of the pandemic and the reactivation of economic activities.
Thus, through portfolio containment, selection of the best profiles, and monitoring of
concentration thresholds by sectors, portfolio diversification was promoted by prioritizing
risk-adjusted returns. For this, different strategies were deployed in the Branch Network,
such as preventive action focused on collections and the identification and redirection of
business opportunities.
Keeping the agile structure, the admissions team segmentation was divided into two
groups:
109
•Stage 1: It operates with a primary axis of analysis under sectoral groupings, while
maintaining specialization by segment.
•Stage 2 and Business Monitoring: It operates under a preventive management
approach, with strategies to maintain and/or reduce portfolio risk, and contains
impairment by structuring suitable financial solutions.
It should be noted that the Rating, Risk Analyst, and Early Alerts tools are an important
support in decision-making. Likewise, the Automated Financial Program and the Digital
Financial Program, used in the BEC and CIB segments, respectively, continued as digital
platforms for the preparation and analysis of loan proposals.
It brings together the functions and processes necessary for the monitoring, containment
of non-payment, collection, recoveries, and divestment of the portfolio in problems, both
from Commercial Banking and Business Banking throughout the credit life cycle. Its
objective is to achieve efficiencies in the processes in a transversal manner, both in
external management channels (collection agencies and law firms) and internal (Office
Network).
The management of the troubled portfolio is articulated from a centralized strategy that
defines the differentiated actions for each of the segments and each stage of the life cycle
of the leveraged credit in policies of refinancing, awarding, and payment agreements with
clients, in the search to minimize the expense of provisions and the level of delinquency.
Subsequently, other indicators were used that allow prudent business management, such
as a daily VaR limit and alerts and limits to VaR Stress under a stress scenario. The
defined control scheme was complemented with limits to losses and a system of warning
signals to anticipate unwanted situations in terms of risk levels or results.
110
Following this model, periodic back testing of the risk measurement models was
implemented, used to verify whether the model is adequate, as well as calculations of the
impact of extreme market movements on the risk positions held (stress testing).
The structural interest risk and the liquidity and financing risk make up the structural risk
in the Bank's management. The first arises from the potential alteration in the net interest
income or the economic value of the entity's equity due to the variation in market interest
rates. Exposure to adverse movements in these rates constitutes a risk inherent to the
development of BBVA's activity which, at the same time, becomes an opportunity for the
creation of economic value.
Thus, the management and monitoring of liquidity and financing risk are implemented
comprehensively with a double approach (short and long term), interrelated and
concatenated, so that the tension in one triggers pressures in the other if not a timely
response occurs, both under normal and low-stress conditions.
The Bank has a contingency plan whose sole objective is to keep it prepared to face
possible liquidity problems.
The operational risk management model that BBVA has implemented throughout the
organization is based on methodologies and procedures for the identification, evaluation, Thanks to the permanent
and monitoring of operational risk, supported by tools that allow its qualitative and updating of risks and

specialty (across the entire organization) and performs the contrast with what is
implemented by the first line.
Regarding qualitative management, the STORM tool (Support Tool for Operational Risk
Management) enables the recording and quantification of the operational risks identified,
associated with a taxonomy of processes, as well as the recording of the periodic
evaluation of the controls associated with the critical risks.
Thanks to the permanent updating of risks and controls, the operational risk
management model remained in force throughout 2020.

On the other hand, there is the fundamental quantitative tool for operational risk
management: SIRO (Integrated Operational Risk System), a database that collects all
operational risk events that represent a loss for the Bank and its subsidiaries.
BBVA is authorized to use the Alternative Standard Method (ASA) to calculate the
effective equity requirement for operational risk, which allows it to optimize the regulatory
capital requirement.

vaccines.
In Peru, GDP contracted 13% in 2020, mainly due to the weakness of internal and
external demand in general, but it is projected to recover by 10% in 2021, in line with the
international economic reactivation and industrial revitalization and of local
consumption, with economic stimuli that will be maintained at least until the recovery is
consolidated. Thus, economic activity will continue to normalize in the coming quarters,
supported by spending on infrastructure maintenance and construction and, on the
supply side, the gradual deployment of phase 4 of economic reactivation. In this context,
the activity of the mutual fund industry was characterized during 2020 by the greater
placement of low-risk products, liquidity, or short-term funds.
Thus, BBVA Asset Management implemented a new investment advisory model with
great success, based on the launch of three Foes (strategic funds) that raised
approximately S/ 220 million. Likewise, in the search to improve the value offer, in July
BBVA Renta Global was launched, the first fund of the manager with the objective of
income distribution and free availability of capital, which achieved a raising of S/ 180
million.
Finally, the total equity managed by the mutual fund industry registered an increase of
29% in year-on-year terms, for a total of S/ 45,596 million at the end of 2020. It is worth
noting that BBVA Asset Management is the second mutual fund manager, with a
patrimony under the management of S/ 9,477 million and a share of 20.8%, also leading
the sector in the number of participants, with more than 152,000 investor clients.
6.1.7. Engineering
2020 will always be remembered as the year in which it was necessary to transcend and
consolidate. Not only did they have to adapt to a new reality, each one from their most
personal and intimate position, but the digital age was not alien to that context.
Engineering had to accelerate the transformation for both its internal and external
customers. In other words, it not only enabled SSCC colleagues to continue with their
functions from home (Home Office) but also made available to the public new functions
in digital channels that allowed them to operate without having to go to an office, as in the
case of the 100% digital account opening.
Also, innovation continued by finalizing the app for the commercial banking client. GloMo
is a transformative application with high levels of security, such as facial biometrics to
access and perform monetary operations, a new look & feel, and optimal processes, that
is, in a single click, which at the end of the year had 90% of migrated clients.
Apart from efficiency in everything it manages, Engineering achieved multiple savings for
the Bank: 10.5% in general expenses, 22% in fraud, and 40% less than in 2019 than
assumed by the client.
Finally, the focus was on operational excellence, both internally and externally. Thus,
Centralized Operations sought, under the slogan “Operation at your service”, to be an
extended arm of the offices; while the objective at Costumer Wellness was to maintain
the level of service to external customers at 98%, without affecting the Prime and
Private Banking segments. At the end of the period, the level of service in all channels
was 99.4%.

Corporate Security
Business continuity
Once the emergency was declared due to the pandemic, the crisis committees in the
organization were activated and a coordinated plan of action was established. The
security teams actively collaborated and generated solutions so that the BBVA Peru
organization could continue its operations safely in the remote work mode.
Cybersecurity
In this context, BBVA Peru did not suffer any incidents during 2020, it consolidated itself
as the safest bank in the country –according to Bitsight reports– and reduced
vulnerabilities by 60%.
To support and continue with the work of being the number 1 bank in cybersecurity, the

On the sidelines, Awareness campaigns occur in the media to continue helping our clients
make good security decisions.
Physical security
The Physical Security team got the Bank's offices to lead the opening, concerning the
competition, during the context of the mobilizations for the vacancy. By implementing an
observation-based risk methodology, there were no human incidents to regret, just a
minor incident at crystals.
During the course, intelligence and active monitoring area were implemented to quickly
identify critical points in the country and keep the direction of events and the general
context updated.

Infrastructure & IT Ops
2020 was an atypical year due to the pandemic, with a cut budget (“war economy”) and
delays in the distribution of infrastructure by suppliers, limited by the mobility conditions
of the State. However, what was proposed in the IT 2020 route was achieved and the
unforeseen needs that arose as a result of the contingency were responded to.
In the Hygienic Projects line of work, which consists of improving the user experience and
their work environment, the following were implemented:
In the stable critical services line of work, which consists of keeping the capacities
available to operate in data centers, the following were implemented:

(incidents, problems, requests, queries and optimizations), intending to provide: a) a
standard work process to all Engineering teams, b) a support process that allows the user
to register and timely follow-up of the reported incidents (E2E of the process), c) a control
base for monitoring and continuous improvement of the process and d) a standard flow
of communication and follow-up that allows all those involved to know, of timely manner,
the status of reported incidents.
Architecture
Likewise, self-service was implemented in the IVR of the Contact Center, which allows the
customer to carry out operations directly such as, among others, blocking and activating
cards and checking balances, movements or debts without requiring an agent. Likewise,
recurrent tasks, which do not add value, were automated through advanced robotics.

companies; On the other hand, credit cards and consumer loans from individuals
decreased due to lower commercial activity, which exceeded the increase in mortgages.
Regarding the quality of the portfolio, there was an increase of 78 bps in the NPL ratio,
attributed to the higher growth of the delinquent portfolio (43.4%) compared to that of
the gross portfolio (14.0%). Meanwhile, the coverage ratio increased by 26 pp due to
the higher level of provisions (67.5%), related to the higher voluntary and specific
provisions concentrated in the second and third quarters of the year, as prudential
measures against possible deterioration.
Total liabilities reached S/ 461,883 million, an increase of 27.8% over the previous year,
due to higher deposits with the public of S/ 66,780 million (25.6%) and accounts
payable of S/ 40,959 million. In the case of deposits, growth is explained by the greater
capture of transactional resources from companies due to the permanence of
Reactiva's flows, which remained in customer or supplier accounts.
Likewise, more demand deposits + savings in individuals were obtained, favored by the
release of 25% of the deposits of the AFP (pensions), in April, and the following, by up
to 4 UIT, starting in November, to which was added the delivery of bonds by the State.
Consequently, demand resources increased by S/ 36,616 million and savings by
S/ 36,471 million. On the other hand, accounts payable increased, mainly due to the
BCRP's Reactiva disbursements.
Regarding the results, the gross financial margin reached S/ 20,227 million, a reduction
of S/ 718 million (–3.4%) generated by lower income from loans of S/ 1,836 million
(–6.9%) and the S/ 635 million lower yield than available (–76.8%) due to the context
of rates close to zero. On the other hand, provisions for direct loans grew by S/ 6,578
million, thanks to the greater constitution of specific and voluntary provisions to face
portfolio impairments due to economic uncertainty and rescheduling provided to
clients.

BBVA Peru’s gross financial margin decreased 5.0% in 2020, despite the 11.5%
contraction of GDP and the context of rates close to zero. Net income, however, showed a
greater contraction due to the high level of voluntary and specific provisions to anticipate
the possible deterioration of the portfolio caused by the crisis.
Net loans reached S/ 66,447 million, with a year-on-year growth of 18.2%. In companies,
the increase was associated with loans granted under Reactiva Perú, which at the end of
the year amounted to S/ 15 billion. In particular, an increase generated by consumer loans
and mortgages was observed, in an environment of normalization of commercial activity.
Obligations with the public and BCRP funds remained the main source of liquidity.
Deposits grew by 29.6%, due to the higher resources Vista (61.8%) and Ahorro (43.3%),
given the permanence of Reactiva flows in the accounts, the approval of the withdrawal of
25% from the AFP (pensions) in April and the withdrawal of up to 4 IUTs in November, the
distribution of government bonds and flows from corporate clients.

Regarding digital developments for companies, in 2020 BBVA strengthened the value
offered to accompany its clients in the process of adapting to new forms of payment,
collection and operation. For this purpose, it developed an agile hiring process at BBVA
Net Cash that tripled the affiliations of new clients without having to go to an office,
thereby helping the Bank to maintain the chain of payments to suppliers and employees.
In the last quarter, the new modality of immediate interbank transfers and interbank

Asset Management

Dec-19 Dec-20 Absolute %
Variation
In the year-on-year comparison, total assets showed a significant increase of 31.4%, due
to the evolution of loans (18.2%), available (68.5%) and investments.
The variation in favor of loans was mainly driven by the Companies segment (29.0%),
where Reactiva helped to offset the lower turnover of foreign trade products and loans.
To this was added the favorable evolution of Individuals (1.5%), which despite the
contraction of private consumption during the second quarter, showed a marked
recovery in the last part of the year.
Regarding cash, the higher balances are explained as a consequence of excess liquidity
from Reactiva flows, the release of the AFP (pensions), the delivery of bonds by the
Government and flows from corporate clients; In this sense, part of these surpluses was
left in the BCRP’s Vista accounts in national currency and foreign financial institutions.
On the other hand, the increase in investments was the result of higher DPV investments
due to the purchase of foreign papers, sovereign bonds and CDs, while the positive
evolution of investments at fair value is explained by the increase in the portfolio fixed
income. Both actions were taken to capitalize on the strong increase in liquidity
surpluses.

stand out in S/ 8.424 million, large companies in S/ 2,752 million, small companies in
S/ 1,670 million and micro companies in S/ 65 million, undoubtedly due to the loans
granted by Reactiva during 2020.
In Individuals, an increase was obtained (1.5%), explained by higher consumer loans and
mortgages. The first, generated by the growth that occurred before the social restrictions
caused by the pandemic and the various commercial actions to retain and attract
customers; the second, due to the impact of the balances obtained before the pandemic,
added to the increase in credits due to the reopening of notaries and the construction
sector after the release of social restrictions.

Regarding the mix of assets, a change is observed in 2020, explained by the increase in
the weight of available funds caused by excess liquidity, in line with what is observed in
the banking system. The excess was caused by the permanence of the balances of
Reactiva's disbursements, the withdrawal of the AFP (pensions), the delivery of
government bonds and greater funds from corporate clients, which in turn drove the
increase in the peso of Investments, to make profitable said surpluses. Conversely, there

Liabilities item due to higher balances in accounts payable, with a variation in favor of
S/ 11,817 million, mostly in local currency due to the Reactiva fund and the net of
maturities of operations of currency and securities.
This counteracts the reduction in debt and financial obligations (–26.7%), concentrated
in the last quarter due to the execution of the call option of the Subordinated Tier 1 Loans

government subsidies and the payment of bonuses, as well as by the campaigns
implemented to encourage the capture and retention of balances in each segment. On
the contrary, deposits in the financial system decreased by 4.3%, due to lower term

by the various wholesale maturities in the last quarter.
Income statement

In 2020, interest income decreased by 10.4% due to lower earnings from loans (S/ –346
million), available loans (S/ –110 million) and investments (S/ –64 million). The lower
generation of income from loans is associated with the low market rates that impacted the
new production, the rescheduling without interest between April and June and the lower
collection of refinanced and overdue loans; The profitability of cash, for its part, was
impacted by the fall in rates of the FED, while the lower interest on investments is
explained in the repricing of the portfolio of securities concentrated in the short term at
rates close to zero.
On the other hand, there was a significant reduction in financial expenses (–23.6%) as a
result of lower rates paid on deposits from the public (S/ –246 million) and the financial
system (S/ –33 million), savings in operations coverage (S/ –37 million) in foreign
currency due to debt with IRS and lower expenses in debt (S/ –24 million) due to the call
execution of Tier 1 subordinated loan; also, local bonds, a senior loan and CDN were
allowed to mature. As a result, the gross margin decreased by S/ 169 million (–5.0%).

In this way, the Bank registered a Global Capital Ratio of 13.68%, above the global limit
adjusted to the risk profile of the institution, established at 11.65%. Likewise, CET1 stood
at 10.77%, even above the level recommended by the regulator in the expansionary
phase of the cycle (9.5%), like Tier 1. It is important to note that BBVA Peru maintains
the objective of continuing to strengthen the solvency level, in such a way that it allows it
to comfortably cover the capital requirements that are being implemented as part of the
adaptation of local regulations to international standards.

It should be noted that on July 16, 2020, Standard & Poor's ratified BBVA Peru's rating at
BBB + and changed the outlook from stable to negative, as credit losses in Peru are
expected to be higher than expected, which could adversely affect the profitability and
capitalization of banks. Additionally, BBVA Peru is subject to a credit rating by the local
rating agencies: Apoyo & Asociados Internacionales, Moody's Local and Pacific Credit
Rating.

(TRANSLATION OF A REPORT ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN SPANISH)
We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Banco BBVA Perú (a subsidiary
of BBVA Perú Holdings S.A.C., incorporated in Peru), which comprise the separate statement of
financial position as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the separate statements of profit or loss,
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then
ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate financial
statements in accordance with the accounting standards established for financial institutions in Peru
by the Banking, Insurance and Pension Plan Agency (Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y
Administradoras Privadas de Fondos de Pensiones – SBS) for financial institutions in Peru, and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing approved
for their application in Peru by the Dean's Council of the Peruvian Professional Associations of Public
Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the separate financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the
Bank's preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the separate financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
134
Opinion
In our opinion, the separate financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material
respects, the non-consolidated financial position of Banco BBVA Perú as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, and their non-consolidated financial performance and their non-consolidated cash flows for the
years then ended, in accordance with accounting standards established for financial institutions in
Peru by the SBS.
Other Matters
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 of Banco BBVA Perú and
its subsidiaries have been prepared and presented separately; and in our report, dated February 23,
2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. The separate financial
statements have been prepared in compliance with existing Peruvian requirements for financial
statement presentation, and reflect the carrying amount of an investment in a subsidiary using the
equity method.

Official Letter November 25, It establishes, among other aspects, the following dispositions
37400-2020-SBS 2020 on the Guarantee programs - COVID-19:
A. Financial instruments
153
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Financial instruments are recognized on the date when they are originated (trade date) and classified
as assets, liabilities, or equity according to the contract that gave rise to the financial instrument.
Interest, dividends, gains and losses generated by a financial instrument classified as an asset or
liability are recorded as income or expenses in the separate statement of income. Payments to
holders of financial instruments are directly recorded in equity.
Gains arising from the transfer of the loan portfolio are recognized as income; however, for financed
transfers or transfers through swaps, these gains are recognized as deferred income, which is
accrued based on the monetary income obtained from the realization of the assets received through
swaps, or in proportion to the perception of the payment made by the acquirer of the transferred
loan portfolio. Losses arising from the transfer are recognized at the moment of the transfer.
The classification of financial instruments on initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the
financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. At initial recognition, a financial
instrument is measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of the financial instrument, except for financial assets or financial liabilities
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
flows from the financial asset, or assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to a third
party in a pass through arrangement; and (iii) transfers substantially all risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset to other entity.
The Bank recognizes derecognition of a financial liability when its contractual obligations are
discharged or canceled or expire. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of financial
liabilities with substantially different terms is recognized as a derecognition of the original financial
liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the
terms of an existing financial liability is recognized as a derecognition of the original financial liability
and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a
financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in the separate statement of
financial position.
154
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Forward contracts, interest rate swaps and option contracts are measured at market price. Also,
assets or liabilities are recognized in the separate statement of financial position, as applicable, and
gains and losses on measurement or settlement are recognized in profit or loss. The face value of
derivative instruments is recognized in the agreed-upon currency in memorandum accounts.
Forward operations, swaps operations and options are recorded at their estimated market price,
recognizing an asset or liability in the separate statement of financial position, and gains and losses
due to valuation or settlement are recognized in profit or loss. The face value of derivative
instruments is recorded in the agreed-upon currency in suspense accounts.
If the SBS determines the documentation to be insufficient or identifies some weaknesses in the
methods used by the Bank, it can require the Bank to eliminate the hedge accounting and recognize
derivative instruments as trading instruments.
The changes in the fair value of the hedged item (gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging
instrument) are recognized as 'accounts receivable' or 'accounts payable,' as appropriate, in the
separate statement of financial position.
The Bank discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting if the hedging instrument expires or is
sold, terminated or exercised; or the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. Also,
the balances recorded in the separate statements of financial position and profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, as appropriate, are transferred to the separate statement of profit or loss
within the effective term of the hedged item.
155
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
C. Investments
The Bank applies the recognition and measurement criteria to investments in instruments, in
accordance with SBS Resolution 7033-2012 "Regulation on Classification and Measurement of
Investments of Financial Institutions" and amendments, as follows:
At initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value less transaction costs, which are
included as expenses in profit or loss. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value. Gains or
losses on the measurement or sale of these financial instruments are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognized in the
separate statement of profit or loss when the right to receive the payment has been established.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss that are pledged as guarantees shall be reclassified as
investments available-for-sale. At the end of these transactions, investments shall be reclassified at
their initial category, transferring the unrealized gains and losses from equity to profit or loss.
instruments other than those that, at initial recognition, the entity has designated as either at fair
value through profit or loss or available-for-sale financial assets.
Likewise, they shall have received credit ratings by at least 2 local or international credit rating
agencies and such credit ratings shall be within the parameters established by the SBS, excluding
central bank's instruments of countries whose sovereign debt receives at least the rating that
corresponds to the sovereign debt of Peru.
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable
to the instrument’s acquisition.
The subsequent measurement of these investments is carried out at amortized cost, using the
effective interest rate method. Any impairment loss is recognized in the separate statement of
income.

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable
to the instrument’s acquisition. Subsequent measurement of these investments is carried out at fair
value; in the case of equity instruments that do not have prices quoted in active markets and whose
fair value cannot be reliably estimated, they must be measured at cost. Likewise, in the case of debt
instruments, prior to the measurement at fair value, shall be remeasured using the effective interest
method, and gains or losses from the changes in fair value shall be recognized.
Gains and losses on changes in the fair value of investments available-for-sale are recognized
directly in equity until the financial instrument is either sold or realized, which is when gains and
losses are recognized in profit or loss, except for impairment losses that are recognized in profit or
loss when they occur.
Exchange gains or losses from equity instruments are recognized in 'unrealized gains and losses' in
equity, and those related to debt instruments are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income from investments available-for-sale is recognized using the effective interest
method, considering the useful life of the instrument. Premiums and discounts originated on the
acquisition date are included in the calculation of effective interest rate.
Dividends are recognized in the separate statement of profit or loss when the right to receive the
DRAFT
At initial recognition, these investments are recognized at their fair value, including transactions
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, and subsequently are measured at investments
using the equity method.
The Bank recognizes goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of the aggregate
of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Bank includes goodwill in the carrying amount of
the investment and tests goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the investment exceeds the
consideration transferred, the resulting gain is recognized in profit or loss.
The Bank determined that the fair value of investments is equivalent to the carrying amount of the
invested at acquisition date, since they do not have significant non-monetary assets, or they have
non-monetary assets recorded at their fair value.
157
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the investment is described as impaired, in
accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. If the recoverable amount of an investment is less
than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the investment shall be reduced to its recoverable
amount. That reduction is an impairment loss recocgnized in profit or loss.
Finance leases are recognized using the effective interest method, and the lease payments
receivable are recognized as loans. Finance income is recognized on an accrual basis according to
the lease terms. Initial direct costs are immediately recognized as expenses.
i. Type of loans
In accordance with SBS Resolution 11356-2008, loans are classified as: corporate loans, large-
business loans, medium-business loans, small-business loans, micro-business loans, revolving loans,
non-revolving loans, and mortgage loans. This classification considers nature of customer, purpose
of loan, business size measured per revenue, debt, among others.
Current loans
They are loans granted in its different modalities, whose payments are up to date, in accordance
with the agreement.
They are loans or direct funding, regardless of its modalities, subject to the rescheduling of
payments approved in the restructuring process, ordinary or preventive bankruptcy, as the case
may be, in accordance with the Banking Law of the Bankruptcy System approved by Law 27809.
Refinanced loans
They are loans, in their different modalities, in which there are variations in the term and/or amount
of the original agreement that are due to difficulties of the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations.
158
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The terms for a loan to change from current status to past due are presented below:
Lawsuit loans
They are loans for which the Bank has initiated legal collection actions. The demand for legal
collection, unless there are technical and legal reasons, begins within a period of 90 calendar days of
having recorded the loan as past due.
(note 1.B), the SBS adopted a series of exception measures with accounting impact, which, in terms
of credit, are detailed below:
Rescheduled loans
Rescheduled loans are loans subject to loan modifications subsequent to an assessment, but not
considered as a refinance, provided that the loan term is not extend for more than 6 or 12 months of
the original term, depending on the type of loan, and that the borrower has made all of its payments
at the date the state of emergency was declared. The payment of principal and interest on
rescheduled loans is controlled through memorandum accounts.
(i) The customer shall have loans that are up to 15 days past due as of February 29, 2020
or March 15, 2020.
159
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
(ii) The deadline for requesting the rescheduling of loans is May 30, 2020 for large-
business loans and corporate loans and June 30, 2020 for retail loans and medium-
business loans.
(iii) The maximum rescheduling term is 6 months for large-business loans and corporate
loans, and 12 months for retail loans and medium-business loans.
(c) From July 1, 2021, the rescheduling of revolving loans for credit cards shall be applicable only
for the entire debt according to the payment schedule.
(d) A financial institution may recognize on an accrual basis interest on retail loans that are
subject to rescheduling of loans. If such retail loans are past due after the payment obligation
is effective according to the new payment schedule, the financial institution shall repay the
unearned accrued interest within a 6-month period on a pro-rata basis.
(e) Interest on rescheduled wholesale loans is recognized when earned. The individual
rescheduling of loans may use the accrual accounting.
(f) SBS Resolution 3155 -2020, dated December 17, 2020, established that, from its effective
date, borrowers classified as Standard with rescheduled loans are borrowers classified higher
than Standard—i.e., With Potential Problems. It also required the recognition of specific
provisions for loans of borrowers classified as With Potential Problems—i.e., consumer
DRAFT
Likewise, it required the recognition of provisions for accrued interest on consumer loans,
micro-business loans and small-business loans of borrowers that not include the payment of
capital installments during the last 6 months, as if borrowers were classified as Substandard.
SBS Official Letter 02105-2021-SBS, dated January 14, 2021, accepted the Bank's request to
not recognize reserve requirements and determined that provisions for accrued interest on
rescheduled loans can be covered by voluntary reserves recognized by the Bank.
The regulatory requirements indicated above do not affect the classification of the debtor in
the Credit Report.
Accrued interest not collected as of the rescheduling date, recognized as income, that is
capitalized as a result of the rescheduling, must be repaid and recorded as deferred income,
being recorded as revenue based on the new term of the loan and as installments are settled.
160
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Credit risk rating of non-retail loan portfolio (corporate loans, large-business loans and medium-
business loans), mainly takes into account the debtor’s payment capacity cash flows, level of
compliance with obligations, credit rating designated by other financial institutions, financial position,
and management quality. For retail loan portfolio (small-business loans, micro-business loans,
revolving and non-revolving loans, and mortgage loans), the credit rating is based on the debtor´s
level of compliance with loan payments which is reflected in the defaults and delays, and in their
credit rating designated by other financial institutions. In addition, the Bank assesses the exposure
to exchange rate risk of the loan portfolio in foreign currency, according to the SBS Resolution 041-
2005 and amendments.
According to current regulations, the Bank considers 2 types of provisions for loan portfolio: general
and specific. The general provision is recognized in a preventive manner for direct and indirect loans
rated as Standard and additionally for the procyclical component when the SBS orders its
application. The general provision also includes voluntary reserves.
The voluntary reserve is measured by the Bank considering the financial position of borrowers that
are part of the high-risk loan portfolio (loans past due, loans under legal collection, rescheduled
DRAFT
loans, refinanced loans and restructured loans), prior experience and other factors that, according to
management, require to recognize potential loan losses. The amount of voluntary reserves is
reported periodically to the SBS.
The specific provision is measured for direct loans and exposure to credit risk of the borrower's
indirect loans rated in a credit rating higher than Standard.
The credit risk of indirect loans is determined by multiplying the indirect loans by the different types
of Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) described as follows:
Provision requirements are determined considering the borrower's credit classification, whether the
loan is secured by guarantee, and type of guarantee.
161
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The percentages applied to measure the provision for loan losses are the following:
Readily
liquidating Self-liquidating
Preferred preferred preferred
Credit risk ratings No guarantees guarantees guarantees guarantees

Doubtful 60.00% 30.00% 15.00% 1.00%
Loss 100.00% 60.00% 30.00% 1.00%
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the procyclical component was deactivated, according to
Official Letter B-2224-2014.
A provision for direct loan losses is recognized deducting the balance of the relevant asset (note 7).
A provision for indirect loan losses is recorded in 'liabilities' (note 14).
The SBS exceptionally established a zero percent provision rate for credit risk to the part of the loans
DRAFT
covered by the guarantee of the Reactiva Peru and FAE for SME program (note 1.C).
SBS Resolution 3155-2020 establishes that the rescheduled loans of debtors with Standard
classification are considered debtors with credit risk higher than Standard, corresponding to the level
of credit risk WPP. The specific provisions for credit risk WPP are applied to these credits.

Buildings and premises 33 & 10
Installations and improvements to rental property 10
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 10 & 4
Vehicles 5
Disbursements incurred after a component of property, furniture and equipment has been put into
use are capitalized only when they can be measured reliably and it is probable that such
disbursements will result in future economic benefits in excess of the normal performance originally
assessed for said asset.
162
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Disbursements for maintenance and repairs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they
are incurred. When an item of property, furniture and equipment is sold or disposed, its cost and
accumulated depreciation are deleted, and profit or loss resulting from its sale is recognized in the
separate statement of income.
The Bank is not permitted to apply the revaluation model. It is only permitted to apply the cost
model. Likewise, the Banks are prohibited from giving as guarantee their property, furniture and
equipment, except those acquired in finance leases.
G. Realizable assets and assets seized and recovered through legal actions
Assets received as payment and repossessed by the Bank as payment of debts are recorded at
judicial or extrajudicial value or at value agreed upon in the payment. At initial recognition, recovered
assets as a result of the agreement termination, if any, are measured at the lower of the
outstanding debt value and the net realizable value. If the outstanding debt value is higher than the
value of the recovered asset, the difference is recognized as a loss, provided that its recovery is
remote.
▪ For assets received, a provision of 20% of the value on the repossession or recovery date.
▪ For fixed assets, a monthly provision, within a maximum term of 42 months, of the net value
obtained in the twelfth or eighteenth month of the asset's repossession or recovery for up to
100% of the asset's carrying amount, depending on whether an extension is granted by the
SBS. A loss allowance if the carrying amount (determined by an independent appraiser) of a
fixed asset exceeds its recoverable amount. DRAFT
▪ For assets other than fixed assets, a provision of the remaining amount, within a maximum
term of 18 or 12 months, depending on whether an extension is granted by the SBS.
An impairment loss is recognized when the net realizable value is lower than net carrying amount;
accordingly, the carrying amount shall be reduced and the loss shall be recognized in the separate
statement of income. If net realizable value exceeds the carrying amount, the higher amount shall
not be recognized.
I. Intangible assets
An intangible asset with a finite useful life is measured at its cost less any accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is recognized as expense. It is
determined using the straight-line method over the asset's useful life (i.e., 1 and 5 years).
Costs associated with maintenance of software are recognized as expenses when incurred. The
development costs and software, from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the
entity, are recognized as intangible assets.
163
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
J. Goodwill
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a subsidiary or associate corresponds to the excess of the
consideration paid over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities of the investee, on the acquisition date. At the beginning, goodwill is recognized as an
asset at cost, and, subsequently, presented at cost less any accumulated impairment loss, if any.
For impairment test, assets are grouped into the smallest group of assets that generates cash
inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or
cash-generating units (CGU). Goodwill is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the business combination from which it arose. A CGU, to which the
acquired goodwill has been allocated, is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more
frequently when there are indications that the CGU may have impaired. An impairment loss is
recognized for a CGU (the smallest group of CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated) if the
recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the CGU. The impairment loss
is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the assets of the unit, first, to reduce the carrying
amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then, to the other assets of the unit pro rata on
the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss on goodwill is
recognized in profit or loss when it is generated. An impairment loss for goodwill is never reversed.
Outstanding loans and borrowings are classifying as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss when they are held for trading or when, at initial recognition, have been designated as at fair
value through profit or loss.
▪ it is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near
term;
▪ it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments, which are managed together, and for
which there is evidence of a recent pattern of obtaining short-term profits; or
▪ it is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract nor has it been designated as a
hedging instrument, and it meets the conditions to be effective.
164
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
A financial liability other than those held for trading may be classified as financial liability at fair value
through profit or loss if:
The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses
from changes in the fair value of these liabilities are recognized in 'profit or loss from financial
operations' in the separate statement of income.
M. Employee benefits
The provision for severance payment of staff is made considering all the indemnities according to
the law in force. Payments made, that are considered definitive, are mainly deposited in the Bank
as the financial entity selected by the employees.
165
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ The 60% of the annual variable remuneration is paid the year following the year
corresponding to the remuneration, during the first quarter of the year. The 50% is paid in
cash and the remaining 50% is paid in shares of the Parent Company at the market price of
the payment date.
▪ The outstanding balance of variable remuneration is deferred over a period of 3 years, and
the 50% is paid in cash and the remaining 50% is paid in shares.
▪ Assumptions that may limit or prevent the payment of the deferred portion of the variable
remuneration.
The delivered shares will not be available for at least 1 year, except for the portion needed to be
used for paying applicable taxes.
The variable remuneration is paid within the first months of the following year. As of December 31,
2020 and 2019, the Bank's variable remuneration amounts to S/ 14 million and S/ 8 million,
respectively.
i. Provisions
A provision is only recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a
result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
obligation. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the
current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a
provision shall be the present value of the expenses expected to be required to settle the
obligation.
DRAFT
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the separate financial statements, they are disclosed in
the notes to the separate financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic
resources is remote.
P. Income tax
Income tax, either current and deferred, is recognized as 'income and expense', and is included in
the separate statement of income, except if such amounts are related to items recognized in
'equity,' in which case, current or deferred income tax is also recognized in 'equity'.
According to current tax legislation, current income tax is determined by applying the tax rate for
the year and is recognized as an expense.
The deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences that arise when
comparing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, without considering that
the temporary differences estimated at the beginning will be reversed. The deferred tax asset is
recognized for all taxable temporary differences that arise when comparing the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities and their tax base, to the extent that it is probable that, in the future, the Bank
will have sufficient income tax against which it can apply the temporary differences that revert.
Deferred tax liability and asset are measured at the income tax rate, which is expected to be apply
to tax of the year in which this liability is settled or the asset is realized, using the income tax rate
enacted or substantially effective as of the separate statement of financial position.
166
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Accrued interest from past due, refinanced, restructured and under legal collection loans, as well as
loans rated as "doubtful" or "loss", which is recognized in the separate statement of income when
are collected effectively. If it is determined that the borrower's financial position has improved so
that uncertainty on payment of principal does no longer exists, interest is recorded on an accrual
basis again.
Other income and expenses are recorded in the period in which they are accrued.
S. Repurchase agreements
The Bank applies SBS Resolution 5790-2014, which establishes that securities sold under
repurchase agreements on a specific future date, are not derecognized from the separate statement
of financial position since the Bank retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
asset.
The Bank recognizes the cash received and a liability recorded in 'accounts payable' to refund such
cash at maturity. Also, it will make the reclassification of securities subject to the transaction in
accordance with SBS regulations. Accounting records of returns will depend on the agreements
DRAFT
between the parties. The difference between the final amount and the initial amount shall be
recognized as expense against a liability within the transaction term using the effective interest
method.
The market participant shall monthly pay interest. The operation includes a grace period of
12 months without paying interest, which are prorated over the life of the operation. The market
participant is forced to repurchase loans guaranteed by the Government guarantee program each
time there is a reduction in their value, or on the resulting date in case of early maturity. In the event
of breaches, BCRP shall maintain definitively loans with the Government guarantee program.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Bank carry out credit portfolio reporting operations
guaranteed by the Government represented in securities, loan portfolio and currencies
(notes 5, 7 and 14).
167
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The separate statement of changes in equity includes profit or loss, other comprehensive income,
cumulative effects of changes in accounting policies or correction of errors, if any, changes in the
stockholder transactions, such as cash paid for dividends and contributed capital, and reconciliation
of the opening balances to the closing balances.
The Bank's overdrafts are reclassified as liabilities in the separate statement of financial position.
At the end of each reporting period, the following guidelines are followed:
▪ Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rate as the end of each
reporting period.
▪ Non-monetary items, not measured at fair value, are translated at the exchange rate on
the date of the transaction.
▪ Non-monetary items, measured at fair value, are translated at the exchange rate on the date
their fair value was established.
▪ The exchange difference that arises when settling monetary assets and liabilities, or when
converting said items at exchange rates different from those used for their initial
recognition, which have occurred during the year or in previous periods, are recognized in
the profit or loss of the year in which they occur.
▪ When the loss or gain generated by a non-monetary item is recognized in other
comprehensive income, any exchange difference included is also recognized in other
comprehensive income.
▪ In the case of non-monetary items, the loss or gain of which is recognized in profit or loss for
168
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
the year, any exchange difference included in that loss or gain is also recognized in income for
the year.
Foreign currency transactions within the country and international trading transactions referred to
the concepts authorized by the BCRP are channeled through a free banking system. As of
December 31, 2020, buy and sell exchange rates used were US$ 1 = S/ 3.618 and US$ 1 = S/ 3.624,

192
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
In the normal course of its business, the Bank participates in transactions whose risk is recorded in
contingent accounts. These transactions expose the Bank to credit risk, in addition to the amounts
presented in the separate statement of financial position.
Credit risk for contingent transactions is related to the probability that a counterparty will fail to
meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms.
The Bank applies similar credit policies when evaluating and granting direct and indirect loans. In
management's opinion, contingent transactions do not represent a relevant credit risk since it
expects that a portion of these indirect loans expire without being used. The total amount of
indirect loans does not necessarily represent future cash outflows for the Bank.
Management estimates that no significant losses will arise, for contingent transactions effective as
of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Tax rates
A. The Bank is subject to the Peruvian tax regime. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the
corporate income tax is calculated on the basis of the net taxable profit determined by the
Bank at a rate of 29.5%, excluding the employee's profit sharing and the withholding tax rate
of 5% applicable to outbound dividend distribution.
Through Legislative Decree 1261, published December 10, 2016 and effective January 1,
2017, the corporate income rate was amended to 29.5%.
The rates applicable to the corporate income tax for the last taxable years are as follows:
The aforementioned Decree also established the amendment to the income tax rate
applicable to dividend distribution and any other form of profit distribution to 5% for profits
generated and distributed from January 1, 2017.
For the years 2019 and 2018, the income tax rate for dividend distribution and any other form
of profit distribution applicable to legal persons not domiciled in Peru and natural persons is
5.0%.
195
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The rates applicable to the income tax on dividends for the last taxable years are as follows:
It shall be presumed, without otherwise evidence, that the dividend distribution or any other
form of profit distribution corresponds to retained earnings or other items that may generate
older taxable dividends.
B. In accordance with current Peruvian tax law, non-domiciled individuals only pay taxes for their
Peruvian source income. Thus, in general terms, income obtained by non-domiciled
individuals from the services rendered in Peru shall be subject to a 30% income tax rate on
gross income, provided that no double tax treaties are applicable. On this concern, Peru has
currently entered into double tax treaties with the Andean Community, Chile, Canada, Brazil,
Portugal, Switzerland, Mexico, South Korea and Japan.
C. The Bank computed its tax base for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and
determined current tax for S/ 494 million and S/ 653 million, respectively.
196
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
D. The Bank is subject to the temporary tax on net assets, whose tax base is composed of the
prior period adjusted net asset value less depreciations, amortizations, legal reserve
requirements and specific loss allowance. The tax rate is 0.4% for the years 2020 and 2019
and is applied to the amount of net assets exceeding S/ 1 million. It may be paid in cash or
nine consecutive monthly installments. The paid amount may be used as a credit against
income tax paid for tax periods from March to November of the taxable year in which the tax
was paid until maturity date of each down payment, and against the payment for
regularization of income tax of the relevant taxable year. In the event a remaining balance is
not applied, its refund could be requested. The Bank determined that the temporary tax on
net assets for the year 2020 amounts to S/ 281 million (2019: S/ 258 million).
E. Financial transaction tax for the years 2020 and 2019 was fixed at the rate of 0.005%. This tax
is applicable to debits and credits in bank accounts or movements in funds made through the
financial system, unless the account is tax-exempt.
Transfer pricing
F. In determining income tax, transfer pricing with related parties and entities domiciled in
territories with low or zero taxation shall be supported with documents and information on
the valuation techniques and the criteria used for the pricing.
Legislative Decree 1312, published December 31, 2016 and effective January 1, 2017,
established the following formal obligations to replace the former ones: (i) presentation of a
Local File (if accrued revenue of the taxpayer exceeds 2,300 tax units [UIT, for its Spanish
acronym]); (ii) presentation of a Master File (if accrued revenue of the taxpayer in a group
exceeds 20,000 tax units); and (iii) presentation of a Country-by-Country Reporting (if accrued,
consolidated revenue from the prior year of the taxpayer in a multinational group exceeds
S/ 2,700,000,000 or € 750,000,000). The presentation of the Master File and the Country-by-
Country Reporting are mandatory for transactions corresponding to the year 2017 onwards.
Legislative Decree 1312 also established that intragroup services with low added value shall
not have a margin greater than 5% of their costs. Concerning the services rendered between
related parties, taxpayers shall comply with the benefit test and provide the documents and
information under specific conditions for the deduction of costs or expenses.
Tax Authorities' Resolution 014-2018-SUNAT, published January 18, 2019, approved the
Electronic Form 3560 for presentation of the Local File, establishing the deadlines for its
presentation and the content and format that shall be included therein.
Thus, the deadline for the presentation of the Local File for the taxable year 2020 shall be
June 2021, in accordance with the maturity schedule agreed upon for May and published by
the Tax Authorities.
197
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The content and format of the Local File are stated in the Appendixes I, II, III and IV of Tax
Authorities' Resolution 014-2018-SUNAT.
Legislative Decree 1116 established that transfer pricing regulations are not applicable to
sales tax.
Tax assessment
G. The Tax Authorities are entitled to audit and, if applicable, to correct the income tax calculated
by the Bank within the 4 years following the year of the tax return filing. The Bank's income
tax returns for the years 2018 and 2019 are open for review by the Tax Authorities. At the
reporting date, the Tax Authorities are reviewing the income tax return for the year 2013 and
will initiate the income tax audit for the yeas 2014 and 2015. The Tax Authorities completed
the income tax audit for the year 2016 in April 2019 and for the year 2013, in December 2020.
In management's opinion, such tax audits and tax returns that are open for review will not
result in significant liabilities that may have an effect the Bank's profit or loss, under IFRIC 23.
Due to the possible interpretations of the current laws by the Tax Authorities, it is not
possible to determine, to date, whether a future tax assessment will result in liabilities for the
Bank. Therefore, any major tax or surcharge that might arise from eventual tax assessments
would be applied to profit or loss when they are determined. However, it is the opinion of
management and its legal advisors that any possible additional settlement of taxes would not
be significant for the separate financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.
H. Legislative Decree 1347, published January 7, 2017 and effective July 1, 2017, established
the possible reduction of 1% in the sales tax, provided that the goal of annual sales tax
collection as of May 31, 2017 is reached, net of internal refunds of 7.2% of Gross Domestic
Product. Accordingly, if the aforementioned goal is met, the sales tax rate (including the
municipal tax) shall be reduced from 18% to 17%.
However, the estimated collection goal was not met at the end of the term, so the sales tax
rate shall be held at 18%.
Major amendments to tax laws effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2020
I. New accrual accounting concept: Legislative Decree1425 introduced the definition of "legal
accrual" for income tax purposes, stating that: a) revenue from transfer of goods occurs when
i) control has been transferred (under IFRS 15); or ii) risk has been transferred to the acquirer
(Risk Theory set out in the Civil Code), whichever occurs first; and b) revenue from rendering
the service occurs when realization level of the rendered service has been established.
198
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The new legal accrual concept is applicable to lessees when determining the tax treatment of
the expense associated with lease arrangements regulated by IFRS 16.
Also, the new concept requires the entities to reconcile the tax expense (income) and
accounting profit since such concept is different from the accrual financial concept.
This concept shall not be applicable for those entities accruing income or expenses for
income tax purposes in accordance with tax laws establishing a special (sector) accrual
system.
J. Thin capitalization: Beginning 2019 and until December 31, 2020, finance costs generated
by debts of independent and related parties are subject to the thin capitalization limit of 3:1
debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated at the end of the prior period. From January 1, 2021,
borrowing costs shall be deductible up to 30% of the tax-EBITDA (Net Income – Loss
Compensation + Net Interest + Depreciation + Amortization) of the prior period. If there is any
balance of financial expense that cannot be absorbed as an expense in a given year by
application of the new thin capitalization rule applicable as of January 1 of 2021, it may be
offset against the net income generated in the 4 subsequent fiscal years—i.e., 4-year
carryforward—after resulting in permanent differences. There are some exemptions regarding
this 30% limit for banks, taxpayers whose income is lower than 2,500 tax units,
infrastructure, public utilities, among others.
Such regulation abolished the obligation to pay the amount equivalent to the withholding on
the amount recorded as cost and/or expense.
L. Indirect loans: From January 1, 2019, under certain requirements, domiciled entities
receiving foreign inbound dividends may deduct as direct loan the income tax that taxed the
foreign dividends and the corporate income tax (indirect loan) paid by the tier 1 and tier 2 non-
domiciled entity (provided that they are in the same jurisdiction) that distributed the dividends
from abroad.
199
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
As of the date of preparation of this report, the General Anti-avoidance Rule is fully effective
and is applicable to Regulation XVI of Tax Code.
Supreme Decree 145-2019-EF, dated May 6, 2019 and published on the official daily
newspaper of Peru "El Peruano", approved all the formal and substantial parameters for the
application of the General Anti-avoidance Rule provided in the Regulation XVI of Tax Code.
Consequently, the requirement to end the suspension of the application for such rule,
established by Law 30230, is deemed as complied with. Likewise, the Regulation on Tax
Assessment has been modified for such purposes.
N. Information related to ultimate beneficiaries: In line with the regulations to strengthen the
fight against tax evasion and avoidance, as well as against money laundering and terrorism
financing, from August 3, 2018, provisions introduced by Legislative Decree 1372 are
currently in force. The aforementioned Decree requires the presentation of information
related to ultimate beneficiaries to the competent authorities through a sworn statement of
the ultimate beneficiaries. Such statement shall disclose the names of the natural persons
that effectively retain ownership or control. Thus, it is mandatory to report the following:
(i) identification of the ultimate beneficiaries; (ii) chain of title with its respective supporting
documents; and (iii) identification of third parties that have such information, if applicable.
Also, it states that the information related to the identification of the ultimate beneficiaries of
legal persons and legal entities provided to the competent authorities under these regulations
neither violates professional secrecy nor is subject to restrictions on the disclosure of
information arising from secrecy requirements under contracts or any regulatory provision.
Lastly, if the informative sworn statement with the information related to the ultimate
beneficiaries is not presented, the legal representatives of the entity that failed to comply
with the presentation of such statement shall assume the joint and several liability.
On December 16, 2019, the Bank submitted the informative sworn statement on the date
established in the monthly maturity schedule.
In order to determine if a Peruvian entity has made a transfer within a 12-month period of
10% or more of capital, transfers of the analyzed entity and transfers to related parties shall
be considered, whether transfers are made through one or several (simultaneous or
successive) transactions. The relationship shall be set up in accordance with the provisions of
section b) of Article 32-A of Income Tax Law.
Likewise, regardless of compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Law, an indirect
taxable transfer shall always be made when, over any 12-month period, the total amount of
transferred shares of the Peruvian legal person is equal to or greater than 40,000 tax units.
200
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Lastly, from January 1, 2019, when the transferor is a non-domiciled legal person that has a
branch office or any permanent establishment in Peru with allocated equity, the latter is
considered a jointly liable party. Thus, it is required to provide information, among others,
regarding the transferred shares or interests of the non-domiciled legal person.
P. Joint and several liability of legal representatives and directors: From September 14,
2018, through Legislative Decree 1422, when an audited individual is subject to the General
Anti-Avoidance Rule, there is joint and several liability of legal representatives due to fraud,
gross negligence or misuse of powers, unless proven otherwise. The aforementioned joint
and several liability shall be attributed to such representatives provided that they collaborated
with the design or approval or execution of acts, situations or economic relationships with an
avoidance purpose.
Such regulation also involves the members of the Board of Directors, since it is stated that
these individuals are responsible for setting the tax strategy of the entities where they are
directors. Thus, the latter are responsible for determining whether to approve the acts,
situations or economic relationships carried out within the tax planning framework, and finally
they shall not delegate such liability.
Lastly, members of the domiciled entities' Board of Directors were granted a term (until
March 29, 2019) to verify or modify the acts, situations or economic relationships carried out
within the tax planning framework and implemented from September 14, 2018 that are
effective to date. For the years 2019 and 2020 onwards, we consider the Board of Directors
is responsible for determining annually whether the Bank's activities have avoidance effects
which may be regulated by the General Anti-Avoidance Rule and, consequently, be subject to
tax regularization.
Considering the aforementioned joint and several liability attributable to legal representatives
and directors, and the absence of a definition of "tax planning", it will be crucial to review any
act, situation or economic relationship that has: (i) increased tax attributes; and/or (ii)
generated a lower payment of taxes of such periods, in order to avoid the attribution of joint
and several liability, both administratively and punitively, depending on the supervisory agent
criterion. The latter, in case the entity to be audited by the Tax Authorities is subject to the
General Anti-Avoidance Rule.

▪ Unique: Focused on a sole objective. Risk appetite supported in fundamental metrics, limits
for portfolios and economic sectors, and indicators for the management and monitoring of
portfolios, is determined.
▪ Global: The BBVA Group has a flexible risk model that can be used for all risk, in all countries
and for all business.
For effective management with a comprehensive vision, the risk area of the Bank is structured by
type of risk: admission of retail and wholesale risks, monitoring, collections and recoveries,
structural, market and fiduciary risks, control, validation, reporting and regulation; and with the aim
of seeking synergies and greater integration of the processes that range from strategy, planning, to
the implementation of management models and tools, the Risk Solution team consolidates cross-
cutting functions that support management.
This year, due to the country's situation for he COVID-19 outbreak, risk management has been
focused on the crisis management from all fronts:
▪ Portfolio management under the guidelines defined by the SBS and the Government,
DRAFT
adaptation of management and monitoring reports according to the new needs of the
situation.
▪ From the wholesale and retail Admission, permanent review and adjustment of the
admission policies, rescheduling modalities carrying out the portfolio diagnosis, segmentation
and action plans according to the criticality identified.
▪ The follow up and management of collection has had a preventive and anticipatory approach,
which is oriented to the most vulnerable and affected sectors. Specialized teams have been
implemented to manage the collections by implementing differentiated strategies according
to the portfolio. Therefore, a good containment level of the rescheduled portfolio has been
achieved.
Under the non-financial risk management, control of the measures and decisions are taken in order
to mitigate operational risks.
Credit risk
The Bank's risk management system is based on a corporate governance scheme in which the
BBVA Group determines the policies for managing and controlling the risk of retail and wholesale
loans, which are adapted to local regulations and reality.
209
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The structure of the risk area for credit risk management is as follows:
▪ Portfolio Management, Data & Reporting: Manages credit risk by monitoring the defined risk
appetite, preparing metrics and reports to evaluate the policy setting throughout the business
cycle, from admission, follow-up to recovery, with the objective of monitoring the credit
quality of the portfolio and ensure sustained profitability in line with capital consumption. In
addition, it is responsible for the development and monitoring of the credit risk models that
are used in risk management by the Bank.
▪ Risk Internal Control: It is the control unit for risk activities. Specifically, and independently, it
performs the contrast and control of the regulations and the governance structure in matters
of financial risks and their application and operation in risks, as well as the contrast of the
development and execution of the management and control processes of financial risks.
Likewise, it is responsible for the validity of the risk models.
▪ Risk Solution: It manages the portfolio of projects in the Risk area. It ensures its definition,
prioritization, execution and startup.
▪ Risk Transformation: It is the team responsible for ensuring the execution and continuous
improvement of the dependent processes, complying with the defined and committed
quality and productivity standards. As part of the process organization, it must seek efficiency
and synergy between the services involved.
▪ Retail Loan: It manages the credit risk in the admission stage for natural persons and banking
business (small and medium business). For natural persons, the admission is carried out
through tools that assess the customer profile, its ability to meet its debt obligation and its
credit history in the Bank and the financial system. For banking business, the admission main

For the loan origination of both people and businesses, massive evaluation is carried out
through campaigns and specific tactical actions in accordance with the growth strategy of the
Bank, as well as the management of portfolios.
▪ Wholesale Loan: It manages credit risk in the business segments of the Retail Network,
Business Banking, Institutions, Global Customers, Intermediary Financial Institutions and the
Real Estate Sector, integrating the phases of origination, admission and follow-up, in
accordance with the guidelines defined in the Wholesale Credit Risk Policy.
On the other hand, the Portfolio Management team focused their work on the diagnosis and
assessment of the crisis impacts on the different portfolios and the implementation of
measures in management policies acting in advance.
Rating, risk analyst and credit-reporting are important support tools for the decision making.
Likewise, the Authorized Financing Program and the Digital Financing Program, used in
Business and Corporate Banking segments, respectively, continued as digital platforms for
the preparation and analysis of credit proposals.
210
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ Collection, Mitigation & Workout: It groups together the functions and processes necessary
for the monitoring, non-payment containment, collection, recoveries and the divestment of
the portfolio with problems, both from retail and wholesale banking, achieving crossway
efficiencies in the processes, as well as in the external management channels (collection
agencies, calls, and law firms) and internal (network of offices).
The portfolio with problems is managed through a centralized strategy that defines the refinancing
policy, payment agreements with customers and repossessed assets, which aim to reduce the
provision expense and default levels. The previously by differentiating each of the segments and
stages of the credit life cycle.
Since 2018, the Bank has been executing the Collection Integral Plan, which is a transformation
project that involves process improvement, data management, remediable products, customer's
experience and IT platform, among the most important, which execution continues in 2020.
Considering the health crisis scenario, management focus on sensitive and vulnerable sectors, as
well as management on the highest value reprogrammed and refinanced groups, was key to
controlling deterioration during 2020.
As part of this plan, in 2020, the write-offs operation was implemented in the portfolios; the Key
Performance Indicator and Key Risk Indicator collection and recovery dashboards were
strengthened, new tenders were executed in external collection channels and legal studies, the
Level Services Agreements and the performance supervision of the providers. As part of the new
management impulses, the BEC and Retail Solution Office was launched, which allowed a scheme
closer to the portfolio with problems, and an improvement in the levels of containment.
▪ Anticipate Plan: 4 executives and a risk leader were selected for the exclusive attention of
255 customers who, in coordination with the branch network, were the ones that presented
the greatest warnings in 2020. The objective of the team was to carry out the diagnosis and
coordination with the admission team for readjust through rescheduling or with the Stage 3
team for timely refinancing.
▪ Solution plan: The executives of the commercial network (more than 180 executives)
carried out the plan, with a role exclusively to the recovery activity. This team is led by 13
monitoring heads whose objective is the location of the main customers, diagnosis and
redirection of operations through rescheduling or refinancing.
The retail portfolio segmentation was carried out considering the impact and materiality
matrices (Debt ranges) for the private and SME portfolio. In addition, collection management
differs whether the portfolio was rescheduled or not.
The impact level on the SME portfolio took as the main axis economic activity according to
the company's business line, which were classified as Winning, Sensitive, Critical and Very
critical, with Winning activities being those that were benefited by this COVID-19 pandemic.
211
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ Collection plan: The implant model was developed, which is a supervision model based on
the physical presence of a Bank supervisor at the provider's physical facilities in order to
maximize the performance of the collection processes and guarantee the execution of the
strategies and tactical actions and even those of human resources. Currently, due to the
situation, the physical presence was replaced with the virtual scheme; however, 100% of the
supervisor's dedication was maintained exclusively to the assigned provider.
A competition was held between the six external collection companies that manage the
Bank's retail portfolio to choose only three strategic allies for the year 2021 and, therefore,
the collection team was restructured into 6 implant supervisors to monitor the three external
companies for both portfolio segments (individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises).
In addition, two professionals from other areas were incorporated to support the
disbursements of the loans (coordination and registration), preventive management tastings,
support in the supervision of external companies while the implant model was being
developed and monitoring of the collection pilots.
Received guarantees
The requirement of guarantees may be a necessary instrument, but not sufficient for granting
credits; their acceptance is supplementary to the credit process that requires the previous
verification of the debtor's payment capacity or whether this debtor is able to generate sufficient
resources to allow the amortization of the risk assumed under the terms agreed.
The procedures for the management and valuation of guarantees received for loans granted to
customers as indicated in the Guarantees Policies, cover the guarantee acceptance policies and the
basic principles for setting, maintenance and release. All guarantees assigned are to be properly
instrumented and recorded in the corresponding register, monitoring they are currently updated and
have the corresponding insurance policies, in strict compliance with the rules laid down by the
regulatory body.
212
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The valuation of guarantees is governed by prudence principles, involving appraisals for mortgages,
market price for listed securities, value of interest in an investment fund, among others. These
principles establish internal milestones that may be stricter than those contained in local regulations,
and under which the value of guarantees is updated.

Market risk
Market risk arises as a consequence of the activity maintained in the markets, through financial
instruments whose value may be affected by variations in market conditions, reflected in changes
in the different assets and financial risk factors. The risk can be mitigated and even eliminated
through hedging instruments (assets/liabilities or derivatives), or by undoing the open operation or
position.
The main risks factors affecting market price are: interest rate, currency and price risks.
▪ Currency risk: It arises due to fluctuations in the exchange rates for the different currencies.
▪ Price risk: It arises as a consequence of changes in the market price, either for the specific
instruments’ factors, nor for factors affecting all the instruments trades in the market.
In addition, and for certain positions, it is necessary to also consider other risks: spread, base,
volatility or correlation risk.
Value at risk (VaR) is the basic variable to measure and control the Bank's market risk. This risk
measure estimates the maximum loss, with a given level of confidence, that can occur in the
market positions of a portfolio for a certain time horizon. The Bank calculates the VaR using the
historical method with a confidence level of 99% and a time horizon of one day; the data period
considered is two years.
The structure of market risk limits determines a scheme of VaR and economic capital limits for
DRAFT
market risk, as well as alerts and specific ad-hoc sub-limits for types of risk, among others.
Likewise, validity tests are carried out on the risk measurement models used, which estimate the
maximum loss that can occur in the positions considered, with a certain level of probability (“back
testing”), as well as measurements of the impact of extreme movements market in the risk
positions maintained (“stress testing”). Currently, the stress analysis on historical scenarios of the
Lehman Brothers crisis (2008) is being carried out.
219
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The activity performed by the COAP is based on the interest risk measurements conducted by the
risks area. Which, acting as an independent unit, periodically quantifies the impact the variation in
interest rates has on the interest margin and the economic value of the Bank.
In addition to the sensitivity measurements to different variations in market rates, the Bank
develops probabilistic calculations that determine the “economic capital” (maximum loss in
economic value) and the “margin at risk” (maximum loss in the interest margin) due to structural
interest risk of the Bank's banking activity, excluding treasury activity, based on interest rate curve
simulation models. Stress testing is conducted periodically to complete the evaluation of the Bank's
interest risk profile.
All these risk measures are subject to subsequent analysis and monitoring, and the levels of risk
assumed and the degree of compliance with the authorized limits are transferred to the different
management and administration departments of the Bank.

In the measurement process, the Bank has established hypotheses on the evolution and behavior of certain items, such as those relating to products without
explicit or contractual expiration. These hypotheses are based on studies that approach the relationship between the interest rates of these products and those
of the market, and that allow the disaggregation of the specific balances into trend balances, with a long-term permanence degree, and seasonal or volatile
balances, with a short-term residual maturity.

(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Liquidity risk
The control, monitoring and management of liquidity risk aims, in the short term, to ensure
compliance with the Bank's payment commitments in a timely manner, without resorting to
obtaining funds under unfavorable conditions, or deteriorating the image and reputation of the Bank.
In the medium term, its objective is to ensure the suitability of the financial structure and its
evolution, in the context of the economic situation, the markets and regulatory changes.
The management of liquidity and structural financing in the Bank are based on the principle of
financial autonomy of the BBVA Group. This management approach contributes to prevent and limit
liquidity risk by reducing the Bank's vulnerability in periods of high risk.
The management and monitoring of liquidity risk is carried out comprehensively with a dual
approach: short-term and long-term. The short-term liquidity approach, with a time horizon of up to
one year, is focused on managing payments and collections from market activities, volatile
customer resources and the potential liquidity needs of the Bank as a whole. The second approach,
medium-term or financing, is focused on the financial management of the set of assets and
liabilities, focusing on the financing structure, and having a time horizon equal to or greater than the
annual one.
The integral management of liquidity is carried out by COAP, where the Financial Management Unit
of the Finance area analyzes the implications, in terms of financing and liquidity of the various Bank
projects and their compatibility with the structure of target financing and the situation of financial
markets. In this sense, the Financial Management Unit, in accordance with the approved budgets,
executes the agreed proposals by the COAP and manages liquidity risk in accordance with wide
scheme of limits, sub-limits and approved warnings on which the risk area carries out,
independently, its measurement and control work, providing the manager with support tools and
metrics for decision-making. DRAFT
The periodic measurements of the risk incurred and the monitoring of the consumption of limits are
carried out by the Structural, Markets and Fiduciary Risks Unit, which monthly reports the liquidity
risks level to the COAP; as well as more frequently to the management units . It should be noted
that during the beginning of the state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the structural
risks unit increased the measurement frequency of the main liquidity indicators in order to carry out
a daily monitoring that allows anticipating any contingency and supporting the management areas.
Moreover, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has proposed a new liquidity
regulation scheme based on two ratios: Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) which is effective from 2015
and net stable funding ratio (NSFR) which has been implemented since 2018. The Bank and the
BBVA Group participated in the quantitative impact study (QIS), which has included the new
regulatory challenges in its new general framework of action in the liquidity and financing area. At
local level, the SBS has also implemented the monitoring of the liquidity coverage ratio, following
the general guidelines of the BCBS, although adapting it to the Peruvian reality. The measurement
of liquidity coverage ratio has started on December 2013 and its measurement have a daily
frequency. The limit established for liquidity coverage ratio is 80% for the period from 2014 to 2017,
90% for 2018 and 100% for 2019 henceforth, which is being complied.
Since March 2020, the SBS has established the temporary inapplicability of the liquidity coverage
ratios in local and foreign currency. However, the structural risks unit has continued with the daily
measurement of the liquidity coverage ratios on a timely basis.

Operational risk
The Bank articulates an operational risk management model implemented throughout the
organization, based on methodologies and procedures for the identification, assessing and
monitoring of operational risk, and supported by tools that allow qualitative and quantitative
management.
This model is based on a decentralized management of operational risk carried out by operational
risk management teams in the two lines of defense. In the first line we have the Risk Control
Assurer whose objective is to promote the adequate management of operational risk in their
respective management areas. The previous by extending the methodology of risk identification and
establishment of controls, and working for this with the owners of the processes who are those
responsible for implementing mitigation plans and execution of controls. In the second line of
defense, there is a Risk Control Specialist team who define mitigation and control frameworks in
their area of specialty (across the entire organization) and contrast with the one implemented by the
first line.
Both control teams are in constant coordination of a methodological unit and constantly report to
the corresponding Internal Control and Operational Risk Committees. From the risk area, the non-
financial risk unit is in charge of coordinating the Internal Control and Operational Risk Committees,
the implementation of corporate management tools, the training of both control teams (Risk Control
Assurer and Risk Control Specialist), coordination for updating the risk map according to the
established methodology and monitoring of mitigation plans.
In connection with qualitative management, the Support Tool for Operational Risk Management
(STORM tool) makes it possible to record the operational risks identified by associating them with a
taxonomy of processes and their quantification, as well as recording the evaluation periodical
controls associated with critical risks. In 2020, risks and controls are being updated, maintaining the
DRAFT
In addition, there is a database, Integrated Operational Risk System (SIRO), which includes all
operational risk events that represent a loss for the BBVA Peru Group, is the fundamental
quantitative tool for risk management operational.
The Bank is authorized to use the alternative standard method for calculating the effective equity
requirement for operational risk, which allows it to optimize the regulatory capital requirement for
operational risk management.
As of December 31, 2020, the regulatory capital for operational risk based on the alternative
standard approach amounts to S/ 542 million (2019: S/ 502 million).
Among the relevant initiatives carried out during 2020, the strengthening of the Bank's internal
control scheme stands out through the provision of a greater structure and work methodologies,
which has allowed the implementation of the two lines of defense in the internal control through
the roles of Risk Control Assurer and Risk Control Specialist mentioned. Likewise, the bank has
been working on implementing a new tool, which will support operational risk management.
The business continuity team has conducted actions to assure the business continuity during
national state of emergency, including people management and remote working.

In cases where the listed value is not available, the fair value is estimated based on the listed value
of a financial instrument with similar characteristics, the present value of the expected cash flows
or other valuation; which can be significantly affected by the different assumptions used.
Management used its best judgment in measuring the fair value of financial instruments; however,
there are inherent weaknesses in any valuation technique. Thus, the fair value may not be an
indicative of the net realizable value or the liquidation value of such financial instruments.
Regarding the methodology and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Bank’s
financial instruments, the following should be considered:
The Bank shall consider the following when using valuation techniques and assumptions for
measuring the fair value:
▪ Level 1: For instruments quoted in active markets, the fair value is determined by the price
observed in those markets; and for instruments whose market price is not available but that
of its components is, the fair value will be determined based on the relevant market prices of
such components.
▪ Level 2: For instruments quoted in non-active markets, fair value is determined by using a
valuation technique or model that mostly uses market data and minimizes the use of data
provided by the Bank.
▪ Level 3: For unquoted instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques or
models.
The fair value of held for trading and investments available-for-sale has been determined based on
their market prices or the quotations of the underlying assets (sovereign risk rates) on the date of
the separate financial statements.

such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of

Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our

perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal
control relevant to the BBVA Perú Group’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Banco BBVA Perú
Group's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.

Official Letter November 25, It establishes, among other aspects, the following dispositions
37400-2020-SBS 2020 on the Guarantee programs - COVID-19:
A. Financial instruments
254
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Financial instruments are recognized on the date when they are originated (trade date) and classified
as assets, liabilities, or equity according to the contract that gave rise to the financial instrument.
Interest, dividends, gains and losses generated by a financial instrument classified as an asset or
liability are recorded as income or expenses in the consolidated statement of income. Payments to
holders of financial instruments are directly recorded in equity.
Gains arising from the transfer of the loan portfolio are recognized as income; however, for financed
transfers or transfers through swaps, these gains are recognized as deferred income, which is
accrued based on the monetary income obtained from the realization of the assets received through
swaps, or in proportion to the perception of the payment made by the acquirer of the transferred
loan portfolio. Losses arising from the transfer are recognized at the moment of the transfer.
The classification of financial instruments on initial recognition depends on the purpose for which the
financial instruments were acquired and their characteristics. At initial recognition, a financial
instrument is measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the
acquisition or issue of the financial instrument, except for financial assets or financial liabilities
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
BBVA Peru Group recognizes derecognition of a financial liability when its contractual obligations are
discharged or canceled or expire. An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of financial
liabilities with substantially different terms is recognized as a derecognition of the original financial
liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the
terms of an existing financial liability is recognized as a derecognition of the original financial liability
and the recognition of a new financial liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a
financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid is recognized in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
255
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Forward operations, swaps operations and options are recorded at their estimated market price,
recognizing an asset or liability in the consolidated statement of financial position, and gains and
losses due to valuation or settlement in the consolidated statement of the year. The face value of
derivative instruments is recorded in the agreed-upon currency in suspense accounts.
If the SBS determines the documentation to be insufficient or identifies some weaknesses in the
methods used by the Bank, it can require the Bank to eliminate the hedge accounting and recognize
derivative instruments as trading instruments.
Changes in fair value of hedge (gain and losses due to valuation) are recorded as 'accounts
receivable' or 'accounts payable,' as appropriate, in the consolidated statement of financial position.
256
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
For both types of hedging, if the derivative expires, is sold, terminates or is executed, or no longer
meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship ends prospectively and the
balances recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated
statement of income and other comprehensive income, as appropriate, are transferred to the
consolidated statement of income within the effective term of the hedged item.
C. Investments
The Bank applies the recognition and measurement criteria to investments in instruments, in
accordance with SBS Resolution 7033-2012 "Regulation on Classification and Measurement of
Investments of Financial Institutions" and amendments, as follows:
On initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value less transaction costs, which are
included as expenses in profit or loss for the period. Subsequently, they are measured at their fair
value and the gain or loss from the recovery or sale of these financial assets is recorded in the profit
or loss of the year.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividends are recognized in the
consolidated statement of income when the right to receive the payment has been established.
Investments at fair value through profit or loss that are pledged as guarantees shall be reclassified as
investments available-for-sale. Once these transactions are concluded, investments shall be
reclassified at their initial category, transferring the unrealized gains and losses from equity to the
consolidated statement of income.
Likewise, they shall be classified by at least two local or international credit rating agencies and the
classifications shall be within the parameters established by the SBS, being excluded from this
requirement the instruments of Central Banks of countries whose sovereign debt receives at least
the classification that corresponds to the sovereign debt of Peru.
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable
to the instrument’s acquisition.
The subsequent measurement of these investments is carried out at amortized cost, using the
effective interest rate method. Any impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of
income.
257
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transactions costs that are directly attributable
to the instrument’s acquisition. Subsequent measurement of these investments is carried out at fair
value; in the case of equity instruments that do not have prices quoted in active markets and whose
fair value cannot be reliably estimated, they must be measured at cost. Likewise, in the case of debt
instruments, prior to the measurement at fair value, shall be remeasured using the effective interest
method, and gains or losses from the changes in fair value shall be recognized.
Gains and losses from the changes in fair value of investments available-for-sale are recognized
directly in equity until the instrument is either sold or realized, which is when gains and losses are
recognized in profit and loss, except for impairment losses that are recorded in profit and loss.
Gains or losses from exchange differences related to equity instruments are recognized in equity as
'unrealized profit or loss', while those related to debt instruments are recognized in the consolidated
income for the period.
Interest income from investments available-for-sale is recognized using the effective interest
method, considering the useful life of the instrument. Premiums and discounts originated on the
acquisition date are included in the calculation of effective interest rate.
Dividends are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the right to receive the
payment has been established.
D. Interests in associates
This caption comprises equity instruments acquired to have interests in and joint control or
significant influence over other entities.
At initial recognition, these investments are recognized at their fair value, including transactions
costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, and subsequently are measured at investments
using the equity method.
The excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, and
the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill. This goodwill is included in
the carrying amount of the investment and is evaluated for impairment as part of the investment. In
case the fair value of investment exceeds the consideration paid, this amount is recognized as profit
in the consolidated income of the year.
258
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The Bank determined that the fair value of investments is equivalent to the carrying amount of the
invested at acquisition date, since they do not have significant non-monetary assets, or they have
non-monetary assets recorded at their fair value.
When management identifies that one or more investments in associates are impaired, said
impairment shall correspond to the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable
amount of the investment, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The carrying amount of
the investment shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss shall be recognized in
the consolidated income for the year.
Finance leases are recognized using the effective interest method, and the amount of the
installments receivable is recognized as a loan. Related financial income is recorded on an accrual
basis in accordance with the lease arrangement terms. Initial direct costs are immediately
recognized as expenses.
i. Types of loans
In accordance with SBS Resolution 11356-2008, loans are classified as: i) corporate loans; ii) large-
business loans; iii) medium-business loans; iv) small-business loans; v) micro-business loans; vi)
revolving loans; vii) non-revolving loans; and viii) mortgage loans. This classification considers nature
of customer, purpose of loan, business size measured per revenue, debt, among others.
Current loans
They are loans granted in its different modalities, whose payments are up to date, in accordance
with the agreement.
Restructured loans
They are loans or direct funding, regardless of its modalities, subject to the rescheduling of
payments approved in the restructuring process, ordinary or preventive bankruptcy, as the case may
be, in accordance with the Banking Law of the Bankruptcy System approved by Law 27809.
Refinanced loans
They are loans, in their different modalities, in which there are variations in the term and/or amount
of the original agreement that are due to difficulties of the debtor’s ability to meet its obligations.

Lawsuit loans
They are loans for which the Bank has initiated legal collection actions. The demand for legal
collection, unless there are technical and legal reasons, begins within a period of 90 calendar days
of having recorded the loan as past due.
Reschedule loans
They are those credits in which, after evaluation, their contractual conditions have been modified,
without going through a refinance, to the extent that the total term of the aforementioned loans
does not extend for more than 6 or 12 months of the original term, depending on the type of loan,
and that the debtors are up to date with their payments as of the date of the state of emergency.
The balance of equity and interests of the rescheduling are controlled in memorandum accounts.
260
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
a. Massive rescheduling
Massive rescheduling of loans, with or without the approval of the customer and without
credit risk assessment, have the following requirements:
i. The customer shall record 15 days past due as maximum as of February 29, 2020 or as
of March 15, 2020.
ii. The maximum date to request the first rescheduling is until May 30, 2020 (loans to
large companies and corporate loans) and until June 30, 2020 (retail loans to medium-
sized companies).
iii. The maximum date for rescheduling is 6 months for loans to large companies and
corporate loans, and 12 months for retail loans and medium-sized companies.
b. Individual rescheduling
In individual rescheduling, there must be a credit risk assessment and have the customer's
approval. The maximum rescheduling period of 6 and 12 months of mass rescheduling does
not apply, and it may be extended to longer periods. Likewise, the customer shall not be
more than 30 days past due to the rescheduling date.
c. For both rescheduling types, as of July 1, revolving loans for credit cards shall be rescheduled
only for the entire debt in a new payment schedule.
d. Financial entities may apply the accrual criterion for the accounting treatment of the interests
associated with the retail loans that are subject to rescheduling. If such retail loans change
the accounting treatment to default after the payment obligation according with the new
schedule is resumed, the entity shall reverse the accrued and unpaid interest, having
6 months to carry out such reverse proportionally.
e. For wholesale debtors with massive rescheduling loan, the accounting treatment of interest
shall be subject to the assumption method. For rescheduling process carried out as an
individual credit risk assessment, accrual basis may be applied.
f. SBS Resolution 3155 -2020, dated December 17, 2020, establishes that as of effective date
of this resolution, rescheduled loans of the debtors classified as Standard are considered
debtors with credit risk above normal level, therefore are classified in WPP. Specific
provisions are applied to loans in WPP level, which are applicable to consumer, micro-
business and small-business loans.
For the accrued interests of the rescheduled loans, in the current accounting treatment,
corresponding to the loan portfolio of consumer, micro-business and small-business loans, for
which the customer has not pay of at least a full installment that includes capital in the last six
months to the end of the accounting information, a provision requirement corresponding to
the Deficient risk category will be applied. SBS Official Letter 02105-2021-SBS, dated
January 14, 2021, accepts the Bank request to not record the provision requirement and
indicates that it considers it reasonable that the provisions required for accrued interest on
rescheduled loans should be considered covered by the voluntary provisions established by
the Bank.
261
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The regulatory requirements indicated above do not affect the classification of the debtor in
the Credit Report.
Accrued interest not collected as of the rescheduling date, recognized as income, that is
capitalized as a result of the rescheduling, must be repaid and recorded as deferred income,
being recorded as revenue based on the new term of the loan and as installments are settled.
Credit risk rating of non-retail loan portfolio (corporate loans, large-business loans and medium-
business loans), mainly takes into account the debtor’s payment capacity cash flows, level of
compliance with obligations, credit rating designated by other financial institutions, financial position,
and management quality. For retail loan portfolio (small-business loans, micro-business loans,
revolving and non-revolving loans, and mortgage loans), the credit rating is based on the debtor´s
level of compliance with loan payments which is reflected in the defaults and delays, and in their
credit rating designated by other financial institutions. In addition, the Bank assesses the
exposure to exchange rate risk of the loan portfolio in foreign currency, according to the SBS
Resolution 041-2005 and amendments.
According to current regulations, the Bank considers two types of provisions for loan portfolio:
general and specific provisions. The general provision is recorded in a preventive manner for direct
and indirect loans rated as "standard" and additionally for the procyclical component when the SBS
orders its application. The general provision also includes voluntary provisions.
The voluntary provision is determined by the BBVA Peru Group considering the following: the
economic situation of the debtors that make up the high-risk loan portfolio (overdue loans, in judicial
collection, rescheduled, refinanced and restructured), previous experience and other factors that, at
the management's discretion, require to current recognition of possible losses in the loan portfolio.
The amount of voluntary provisions is reported periodically to the SBS.
The specific provision is recorded for direct loans and exposure to credit risk of borrower's indirect
loans rated in a credit rating higher than "standard".
262
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The credit risk equivalent of indirect loans is determined by multiplying the indirect loans by the
different types of Credit Conversion Factor (CCF) described as follows:
Provision requirements are determined considering the borrower's credit classification, whether the
loan is secured by guarantee, and type of guarantee.
The percentages applied to determine the provision for the loan portfolio are the following:
Readily
liquidating Self-liquidating
Preferred preferred preferred
Credit risk ratings No guarantees guarantees guarantees guarantees
Standard
Corporate loans 0.70% 0.70% 0.70% 0.70%
Large-business loans 0.70% 0.70% 0.70% 0.70%
Medium-business loans 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00%
Small-business loans 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00%
Micro-business loans 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00%
Revolving loans 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00%
Non-revolving loans 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00%
Mortgage loans 0.70% 0.70% 0.70% 0.70%
With potential problems 5.00% 2.50% 1.25% 1.00%
Substandard 25.00% 12.50% 6.25% 1.00%
Doubtful 60.00% 30.00% 15.00% 1.00%
Loss 100.00% 60.00% 30.00% 1.00%
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the procyclical component for the provision for loan portfolio is
deactivated, according to SBS Official Letter B-2224-2014.
A provision for direct loan losses is recorded deducting the balance of the relevant asset (note 7). A
provision for indirect loan losses is recorded in 'liabilities' (note 14).
The SBS exceptionally established a zero percent provision rate for credit risk to the part of the loans
covered by the guarantee of the Reactiva Peru and FAE for SME program (note 1.C).
263
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
SBS Resolution 3155-2020 establishes that the rescheduled loans of debtors with Standard
classification are considered debtors with credit risk higher than Standard, corresponding to the level
of credit risk WPP. The specific provisions for credit risk WPP are applied to these credits.
Years
Buildings and premises 33 & 10
Installations and improvements to rental property 10
Furniture and equipment 10 & 4
Vehicles 5
Disbursements incurred after a component of property, furniture and equipment has been put into
use are capitalized only when they can be measured reliably and it is probable that such
disbursements will result in future economic benefits in excess of the normal performance
originally assessed for said asset.
Disbursements for maintenance and repairs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they
are incurred. When an item of property, furniture and equipment is sold or disposed, its cost and
accumulated depreciation are deleted, and profit or loss resulting from its sale is recognized in the
consolidated statement of income.
The Bank is not permitted to apply the revaluation model. It is only permitted to apply the cost
model. Likewise, the Banks are prohibited from giving as guarantee their property, furniture and
equipment, except those acquired in finance leases.
G. Realizable assets and assets seized and recovered through legal actions
Assets received as payment and repossessed by the Bank as payment of debts are recorded at
judicial or extrajudicial value or at value agreed upon in the payment. At initial recognition, recovered
assets as a result of the agreement termination, if any, are measured at the lower of the
outstanding debt value and the net realizable value. If the outstanding debt value is higher than the
value of the recovered asset, the difference is recognized as a loss, provided that its recovery is
remote.
▪ For assets received, a provision for 20% of the value on the award or recovery date.
▪ For fixed assets, a monthly provision within a period of not more than 42 months for the net
value obtained during the 12th or the 18th month of award or recovery, depending on
whether an extension is granted by the SBS and until 100% of the asset's carrying amount is
completed. The net carrying amount of fixed assets is compared with the net realizable value
determined by an independent appraiser. The Bank recognizes a provision for impairment loss
if the carrying amount exceeds the net realizable value.
264
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ For assets other than fixed assets, a provision for the remaining balance within a period of not
more than 12 or 18 months, depending on whether an extension is granted by the SBS.
An impairment loss is recognized when the net realizable value is lower than net carrying amount;
accordingly, the carrying amount shall be reduced and the loss shall be recognized in the
consolidated statement of income. If net realizable value exceeds the carrying amount, the higher
amount shall not be recognized.
I. Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful life are recognized at acquisition cost and are presented net of
accumulated amortization and any impairment loss. Amortization is recognized as expense. It is
determined under the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life of assets. The assets'
estimated useful life is between 1 and 5 years.
Costs associated with maintenance of software are recognized as expenses when incurred. The
development expenses and unique and identifiable software, which are likely to generate economic
benefits, are recognized as intangible assets.
J. Goodwill
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of a subsidiary or associate corresponds to the excess of the
consideration paid over the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities of the investee, on the acquisition date. At the beginning, goodwill is recognized as an
asset at cost, and, subsequently, presented at cost less any accumulated impairment loss, if any.
For the impairment test, goodwill is assigned to each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) of the Bank that is
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A CGU, to which the acquired goodwill
has been distributed, is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently when there are
indications that the unit may have deteriorated. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its
carrying amount, the impairment loss is distributed first by reducing the carrying amount of any
goodwill distributed to the CGU, and then to the others assets of the CGU, prorated based on the
carrying amount of each of the assets of the unit. Any impairment loss of goodwill is recognized in
profit or loss of the period in which it is generated. An impairment loss recognized in goodwill is not
reversed in subsequent periods.
265
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Outstanding instruments and liabilities are classifying as financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss when are held for trading or, when at initial recognition have been to be accounted at
fair value through profit or loss.
▪ It is acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the near
term;
▪ It is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments, which are managed together, and for
which there is evidence of a recent pattern of obtaining short-term profits; or
▪ It is a derivative that is not a financial guarantee contract nor has it been designated as a
hedging instrument, and it meets the conditions to be effective.
A financial liability other than those held for trading may be classified as financial liability at fair value
through profit or loss if:
The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses
from changes in the fair value of these liabilities are recognized in 'profit or loss from financial
operations' of the consolidated statement of income.
266
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
M. Employee benefits
In the case of subsidiaries, according to legal regulations, it is not their responsibility to determine
the employee's profit sharing, since the number of employees is not more than 20, except in
Edpyme.
N. Share-based payments
A group of employees of the Bank is subject to the European Parliament Directive 2013/36/UE in
which limits are established on variable remuneration in relation to fixed remuneration. This system
of settlement and payment of annual variable remuneration (hereinafter the system) corresponds to
those employees who have a significant impact on the Bank's risk profile or exercise control
functions and are subject to the following rules:
▪ Regarding the total annual variable remuneration, 60% is paid the year following the one
corresponding to remuneration, during the first quarter of the year; being that 50% is paid in
cash and the other 50% in shares of the Parent Company at the market price of the
settlement day.
▪ The outstanding balance of variable remuneration is deferred to 3 years, 50% is paid in cash
and the other 50% in shares.
▪ Likewise, assumptions are established that may limit or prevent in certain cases the delivery
of deferred variable remuneration.
The delivered shares will not be available for at least one year, except for the necessary portion to be
used for the payment of applicable taxes.
267
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The settlement of the variable remuneration is carried out in the first months of the following year.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, management's estimation of the deferred variable
remuneration mounts to S/ 14 million and S/ 8 million, respectively.
(i) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources to settle the obligation shall be
required, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are
reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted to reflect the best estimates as of the date of the
consolidated statement of financial position. Where the effect of the time value of money is
material, the amount of a provision shall be the present value of the expenses expected to be
required to settle the obligation.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of
economic resources is remote.
P. Income tax
Income tax, either current and deferred, is recognized as 'income and expense', and is included in
the consolidated statement of income, except if such amounts are related to items recognized in
'equity,' in which case, current or deferred income tax is also recognized in 'equity.'
According to current tax legislation, current income tax is determined by applying the tax rate for
the year and is recognized as an expense.
The deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences that arise when
comparing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, without considering that
the temporary differences estimated at the beginning will be reversed. The deferred tax asset is
recognized for all taxable temporary differences that arise when comparing the carrying amount of
assets and liabilities and their tax base, to the extent that it is probable that, in the future, the Bank
will have sufficient income tax against which it can apply the temporary differences that revert.
Deferred tax liability and asset are measured at the income tax rate, which is expected to be apply
to tax of the year in which this liability is settled or the asset is realized, using the income tax rate
enacted or substantially effective as of the consolidated statement of financial position.

repurchase agreements on a specific future date, are not derecognized from the consolidated
statement of financial position since the Bank retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership
of the asset.
The Bank recognizes the cash received and a liability recorded in 'accounts payable' to refund such
cash at maturity. Also, it will make the reclassification of securities subject to the transaction in
accordance with SBS regulations. Accounting records of returns will depend on the agreements
between the parties. The difference between the final amount and the initial amount shall be
recognized as expense against a liability within the transaction term using the effective interest
method.
The market participant shall monthly pay interest. The operation includes a grace period of
12 months without paying interest, which are prorated over the life of the operation. The market
participant is forced to repurchase loans guaranteed by the Government guarantee program each
time there is a reduction in their value, or on the resulting date in case of early maturity. In the event
of breaches, BCRP shall maintain definitively loans with the Government guarantee program.

Shareholders' Meeting held May 11, 2020, and in accordance with the provisions of article 184,
literal A), subsection 2 of the Banking Law, approved unanimously to capitalize the profits for the

In the normal course of its business, BBVA Peru Group participates in transactions whose risk is
recorded in contingent accounts. These transactions expose the BBVA Peru Group to credit risk, in
addition to the amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Credit risk for contingent transactions is related to the probability that a counterparty will fail to
meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms.
BBVA Peru Group applies similar credit policies when evaluating and granting direct and indirect
loans. In management's opinion, contingent transactions do not represent a relevant credit risk
since it expects that a portion of these indirect loans expire without being used. The total amount
of indirect loans does not necessarily represent future cash outflows for BBVA Peru Group.
Management estimates that no significant losses will arise, for contingent transactions effective as
of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Tax rates
A. BBVA Peru Group is subject to the Peruvian tax regime. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
corporate income tax is calculated based on the net taxable income determined by the Bank
at a rate of 29.5%. Employees' profit sharing and retention ratio of 5% applicable to outbound
dividend distribution is not considered therein.
Through Legislative Decree 1261, published December 10, 2016 and effective January 1,
2017, the corporate income rate was amended to 29.5%.
The rates applicable to the corporate income tax for the last taxable years are as follows:
The aforementioned Decree also established the amendment to the income tax rate
applicable to outbound dividend distribution and any other form of profit distribution to 5% for
profits generated and distributed from January 1, 2017.
296
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
For the years 2019 and 2018, the income tax rate for dividend distribution and any other form
of profit distribution applicable to legal persons not domiciled in Peru and natural persons is
5.0%. Thus, the rates applicable to income tax on dividends for the last taxable years are as
follows:
It will be presumed, without proven otherwise, that the dividend distribution or any other
form of profit distribution that is made corresponds to retained earnings or other concepts
likely to generate older taxed dividends.
B. In accordance with current Peruvian tax law, non-domiciled individuals only pay taxes for their
Peruvian source income. Thus, in general terms, revenues obtained by non-domiciled
individuals from the services rendered in Peru shall be subject to a 30% income tax on gross
income, provided that no current and entered into double tax treaties are applicable. On this
concern, Peru has currently entered double tax treaties with the Andean Community, Chile,
Canada, Brazil, Portugal, Switzerland, Mexico, South Korea and Japan.
C. The BBVA Peru Group computed its tax base for the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019 and determined consolidated current tax for S/ 239 million and S/ 630 million,
respectively.
297
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
D. The BBVA Peru Group is subject to the temporary tax on net assets, whose tax base is
composed of the prior period adjusted net asset value less depreciations, amortizations, legal
reserve requirements and specific provisions for credit risk. The tax rate is 0.4% for the years
2020 and 2019 and is applied to the amount of net assets exceeding S/ 1 million. It may be
paid in cash or nine consecutive monthly installments. The paid amount may be used as a
credit against income tax paid for tax periods from March to November of the taxable year in
which the tax was paid until maturity date of each down payment, and against the payment
for regularization of income tax of the relevant taxable year. In the event a remaining balance
is not applied, its refund may be requested. Temporary tax on net assets for the year 2020
amounts to S/ 281 million thousand (S/ 258 million in 2019).
E. Financial transaction tax for the years 2020 and 2019 was fixed at the rate of 0.005%. This tax
is applicable to debits and credits in bank accounts or movements in funds made through the
financial system, unless the account is tax-exempt.
Transfer pricing
F. In determining income tax, transfer pricing with related parties and entities domiciled in
territories with low or zero taxation shall be supported with documents and information on
the valuation techniques and the criteria used for the pricing.
Legislative Decree 1312, published December 31, 2016 and effective January 1, 2017,
established the following formal obligations to replace the former ones: (i) presentation of a
Local File (if accrued revenue of the taxpayer exceeds 2,300 tax units [UIT, for its Spanish
acronym]); (ii) presentation of a Master File (if accrued revenue of the taxpayer in a group
exceeds 20,000 tax units); and (iii) presentation of a Country-by-Country Reporting (if accrued,
consolidated revenue from the prior year of the taxpayer in a multinational group exceeds
PEN 2,700 million or EUR 750 million). The presentation of the Master File and the Country-
by-Country Reporting is mandatory for transactions from 2017 onwards.
Legislative Decree N° 1312 also established that intragroup services with low added value
shall not have a margin greater than 5% of their costs. Concerning the services rendered
between related parties, taxpayers shall comply with the benefit test and provide the
documents and information under specific conditions for the deduction of costs or expenses.
298
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Tax Authorities' Resolution N° 014-2018-SUNAT, published January 18, 2019, approved the
Electronic Form 3560 for the presentation of the Local File, establishing the deadlines for its
presentation and the content and format that shall be included therein.
Thus, the deadline for the presentation of the Local File for the taxable year 2020 shall be
June 2021, in accordance with the maturity schedule agreed upon for May published by the
Tax Authorities.
The content and format of the Local File are stated in the Appendixes I, II, III and IV of Tax
Authorities' Resolution N° 014-2018-SUNAT.
Legislative Decree N° 1116 established that transfer pricing regulations are not applicable to
sales tax.
Tax assessment
G. The Tax Authorities are entitled to audit and, if applicable, to correct the income tax calculated
by the BBVA Peru Group within the 4 years following the year of the income tax return.
BBVA Peru Group's income tax returns that are open for review by the Tax Authorities are as
follows:
Tax returns
Entities subject to audit
BBVA Bolsa Sociedad Agente de Bolsa S.A. 2015-2019
BBVA Asset Management Continental S.A. S.A.F. 2015-2019
BBVA Sociedad Titulizadora S.A. 2015-2019
Inmuebles y Recuperaciones BBVA S.A. 2015-2019
BBVA Consumer Finance Edpyme 2015-2019
Forum Comercializadora del Perú S.A. 2015-2019
Forum Distribuidora del Perú S.A. 2015-2019
The BBVA Peru Group's income tax returns for the years 2019 through 2018 and the one that
shall be filed for 2020 are open for review by the Tax Authorities. As of the date of this report,
the Tax Authorities are assessing the income tax for the period 2013 and will begin the
income tax audit for the periods 2014 and 2015. The 2016 income tax review finished in
April 2019 and 2013 income tax review finished in December 2020.
The BBVA Peru Group's income tax returns for the years 2018 through 2017 and the one that
shall be filed for 2029 are open for review by the Tax Authorities. As of the date of this report,
the Tax Authorities are assessing the income tax return for the period 2013 and will begin the
income tax return audit for the periods 2014 and 2015. Income tax return review for the
period 2016, ongoing as of December 31, 2018, was finished in April 2019.
In management's opinion, these tax proceedings and periods pending assessment will not
generate significant liabilities that may impact the profit or loss of the companies from the
BBVA Peru Group, in accordance with the IFRIC 23.
299
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Due to the possible interpretations of the current laws by the Tax Authorities, it is not
possible to determine, to date, whether a future tax assessment will result in liabilities for the
BBVA Peru Group. Therefore, any major tax or surcharge that might arise from eventual tax
assessments would be applied to profit or loss when they are recognized. However, it is the
opinion of management and its legal advisors that any possible additional settlement of taxes
would not be significant for the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020
and 2019.
H. Legislative Decree 1347, published January 7, 2017 and effective July 1, 2017, established
the possible reduction of 1% in the sales tax, provided that the goal of annual sales tax
collection as of May 31, 2017 is reached, net of internal refunds of 7.2% of Gross Domestic
Product. Accordingly, if the aforementioned goal is met, the sales tax rate (including the
municipal tax) shall be reduced from 18% to 17%.
However, the estimated collection goal was not met at the end of the term, so the sales tax
rate shall be held at 18%.
Major amendments to tax laws effective for periods beginning on January 1, 2020
I. New accrual accounting concept: Legislative Decree1425 introduced the definition of "legal
accrual" for income tax purposes, stating that: a) revenue from transfer of goods occurs when
i) control has been transferred (under IFRS 15); or ii) risk has been transferred to the acquirer
(Risk Theory set out in the Civil Code), whichever occurs first; and b) revenue from rendering
the service occurs when realization level of the rendered service has been established.
The new legal accrual concept is applicable to lessees when determining the tax treatment of
the expense associated with lease arrangements regulated by IFRS 16.
This concept shall not be applicable for those entities accruing income or expenses for
income tax purposes in accordance with tax laws establishing a special (sector) accrual
system.
J. Thin capitalization: Beginning 2019 and until December 31, 2020, finance costs generated
by debts of independent and related parties are subject to the thin capitalization limit of 3:1
debt-to-equity ratio, which is calculated at the end of the prior period From January 1, 2021,
borrowing costs shall be deductible up to 30% of the tax-EBITDA (Net Income – Loss
Compensation + Net Interest + Depreciation + Amortization) of the prior period. If there is any
balance of financial expense that cannot be absorbed as an expense in a given year by
application of the new thin capitalization rule applicable as of January 1 of 2021, it may be
offset against the net income generated in the 4 subsequent fiscal years —i.e., 4-year
carryforward—after which it will mature generating permanent differences. There are some
exemptions regarding this 30% limit for banks, taxpayers whose income is lower than
2,500 tax units, infrastructure, public utilities, among others.

Such regulation abolished the obligation to pay the amount equivalent to the withholding on
the amount recorded as cost and/or expense.
L. Indirect loans: From 2020, under certain requirements, domiciled entities receiving foreign
inbound dividends may deduct as direct loan the income tax that taxed the foreign dividends
and the corporate income tax (indirect loan) paid by the tier 1 and tier 2 non-domiciled entity
(provided that they are in the same jurisdiction) that distributed the dividends from abroad.
As of the date of preparation of this report, the General Anti-avoidance Rule is fully effective
and is applicable to Regulation XVI of Tax Code.
Supreme Decree 145-2019-EF dated May 6, 2019 and published on the official daily
newspaper of Peru "El Peruano", approved all the formal and substantial parameters for the
application of the General Anti-avoidance Rule provided in the Regulation XVI of Tax Code.
Consequently, the requirement to end the suspension of the application for such rule,
established by Law 30230, is deemed as complied with. Likewise, the Regulation on Tax
Assessment has been modified for such purposes.
N. Information related to ultimate beneficiaries: In line with the regulations to strengthen the
fight against tax evasion and avoidance, as well as against money laundering and terrorism
financing, from August 3, 2018, provisions introduced by Legislative Decree 1372 are
currently in force. The aforementioned Decree requires the presentation of information
related to ultimate beneficiaries to the competent authorities through a sworn statement of
the ultimate beneficiaries. Such statement shall disclose the names of the natural persons
that effectively retain ownership or control. Thus, it is mandatory to report the following:
(i) identification of the ultimate beneficiaries; (ii) chain of title with its respective supporting
documents; and (iii) identification of third parties that have said information, if applicable. Also,
it states that the information related to the identification of the ultimate beneficiaries of legal
persons and legal entities provided to the competent authorities under these regulations
neither violates professional secrecy nor is subject to restrictions on the disclosure of
information arising from secrecy requirements under contracts or any regulatory provision.
301
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Lastly, if the informative sworn statement with the information related to the ultimate
beneficiaries is not presented, the legal representatives of the entity that failed to comply
with the presentation of such statement shall assume the joint and several liability.
On December 16, 2019, the Bank submitted the informative sworn statement on the date
established in the monthly maturity schedule.
In order to determine if a Peruvian entity has made a transfer within a 12-month period of
10% or more of capital, transfers of the analyzed entity and transfers to related parties shall
be considered, whether transfers are made through one or several (simultaneous or
successive) transactions. The relationship shall be set up in accordance with the provisions of
section b) of Article 32-A of Income Tax Law.
Likewise, regardless of compliance with the provisions of the Income Tax Law, an indirect
taxable transfer shall always be made when, over any 12-month period, the total amount of
transferred shares of the Peruvian legal person is equal to or greater than 40,000 tax units.
Lastly, from January 1, 2019, when the transferor is a non-domiciled legal person that has a
branch office or any permanent establishment in Peru with allocated equity, the latter is
considered a jointly liable party. Thus, it is required to provide information, among others,
regarding the transferred shares or interests of the non-domiciled legal person.
P. Joint and several liability of legal representatives and directors: From September 14,
2018, through Legislative Decree 1422, when an audited individual is subject to the General
Anti-Avoidance Rule, there is joint and several liability of legal representatives due to fraud,
gross negligence or misuse of powers, unless proven otherwise. The aforementioned joint
and several liability shall be attributed to such representatives provided that they collaborated
with the design or approval or execution of acts, situations or economic relationships with an
avoidance purpose.
Such regulation also involves the members of the Board of Directors, since it is stated that
these individuals are responsible for setting the tax strategy of the companies where they are
directors. Thus, they are responsible for determining whether to approve the acts, situations
or economic relationships carried out within the tax planning framework and finally, they shall
not delegate such liability.
302
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
Lastly, members of the domiciled entities' Board of Directors were granted a term (until
March 29, 2019) to verify or modify the acts, situations or economic relationships carried out
within the tax planning framework and implemented from September 14, 2018 that are
effective to date. For the years 2019 and 2020 onwards, we consider the Board of Directors
is responsible for determining annually whether the BBVA Peru Group's activities have
avoidance effects which may be regulated by the General Anti-Avoidance Rule and,
consequently, be subject to tax regularization.
Considering the aforementioned joint and several liability attributable to legal representatives
and directors, and the absence of a definition of "tax planning," it will be crucial to review
any act, situation or economic relationship that has: (i) increased tax attributes; and/or
(ii) generated a lower payment of taxes of such periods, in order to avoid the attribution of
joint and several liability, both administratively and punitively, depending on the supervisory
agent criterion. The latter, in case the entity to be audited by the Tax Authorities is subject to
the General Anti-Avoidance Rule.

▪ Unique: Focused on a sole objective. Risk appetite supported in fundamental metrics, limits
for portfolios and economic sectors, and indicators for the management and monitoring of
portfolios, is determined.
▪ Global: BBVA Peru Group has a flexible risk model that can be used for all risk, in all countries
and for all business.
For effective management with a comprehensive vision, the risk area of the BBVA Peru Group is
structured by type of risk: admission of retail and wholesale risks, monitoring, collections and
recoveries, structural, market and fiduciary risks, control, validation, reporting and regulation; and
with the aim of seeking synergies and greater integration of the processes that range from strategy,
planning, to the implementation of management models and tools, the Risk Solution team
consolidates cross-cutting functions that support management.
This year, due to the country's situation for the COVID-19 outbreak, risk management has been
focused on the crisis management from all fronts:
▪ Portfolio management under the guidelines defined by the SBS and the Government,
adaptation of management and monitoring reports according to the new needs of the
situation.
▪ From the wholesale and retail Admission, permanent review and adjustment of the
admission policies, rescheduling modalities carrying out the portfolio diagnosis, segmentation
and action plans according to the criticality identified.
▪ The follow up and management of collection has had a preventive and anticipatory approach,
which is oriented to the most vulnerable and affected sectors. Specialized teams have been
implemented to manage the collections by implementing differentiated strategies according
to the portfolio. Therefore, a good containment level of the rescheduled portfolio has been
achieved.
Under the non-financial risk management, control of the measures and decisions are taken in order
to mitigate operational risks.
Credit risk
The Bank's risk management system is based on a corporate governance scheme in which the
BBVA Peru Group determines the policies for managing and controlling the risk of retail and
wholesale loans, which are adapted to local regulations and reality.
311
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The structure of the risk area for credit risk management is as follows:
▪ Portfolio Management, Data & Reporting: Manages credit risk by monitoring the defined risk
appetite, preparing metrics and reports to evaluate the policy setting throughout the business
cycle, from admission, follow-up to recovery, with the objective of monitoring the credit
quality of the portfolio and ensure sustained profitability in line with capital consumption. In
addition, it is responsible for the development and monitoring of the credit risk models that
are used in risk management by the BBVA Peru Group.
▪ Risk Internal Control: It is the control unit for risk activities. Specifically, and independently, it
performs the contrast and control of the regulations and the governance structure in matters
of financial risks and their application and operation in risks, as well as the contrast of the
development and execution of the management and control processes of financial risks.
Likewise, it is responsible for the validity of the risk models.
▪ Risk Solution: It manages the portfolio of projects in the Risk area. It ensures its definition,
prioritization, execution and startup.
▪ Risk Transformation: It is the team responsible for ensuring the execution and continuous
improvement of the dependent processes, complying with the defined and committed
quality and productivity standards. As part of the process organization, it must seek efficiency
and synergy between the services involved.
▪ Retail Loan: It manages the credit risk in the admission stage for natural persons and banking
business (small and medium business). For natural persons, the admission is carried out
through tools that assess the customer profile, its ability to meet its debt obligation and its
credit history in the Bank and the financial system. For banking business, the admission main
analysis is the financial-economic information obtained from field-visits that allow
dimensioning the business and the debtor's payment capacity, through the use of specific
methodologies by economic activity, as well as tools that assess the behavioral profile of the
businesses.
For the loan origination of both people and businesses, massive evaluation is carried out
through campaigns and specific tactical actions in accordance with the growth strategy of the
BBVA Peru Group, as well as the management of portfolios.
▪ Wholesale Loan: It manages credit risk in the business segments of the Retail Network,
Business Banking, Institutions, Global Customers, Intermediary Financial Institutions and the
Real Estate Sector, integrating the phases of origination, admission and follow-up, in
accordance with the guidelines defined in the Wholesale Credit Risk Policy.
On the other hand, the Portfolio Management team focused their work on the diagnosis and
assessment of the crisis impacts on the different portfolios and the implementation of
measures in management policies acting in advance.
Rating, risk analyst and credit-reporting are important support tools for the decision making.
Likewise, the Authorized Financing Program and the Digital Financing Program, used in
Business and Corporate Banking segments, respectively, continued as digital platforms for
the preparation and analysis of credit proposals.
312
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ Collection, Mitigation & Workout: It groups together the functions and processes necessary
for the monitoring, non-payment containment, collection, recoveries and the divestment of
the portfolio with problems, both from retail and wholesale banking, achieving crossway
efficiencies in the processes, as well as in the external management channels (collection
agencies, calls, and law firms) and internal (network of offices).
The portfolio with problems is managed through a centralized strategy that defines the refinancing
policy, payment agreements with customers and repossessed assets, which aim to reduce the
provision expense and default levels. The previously by differentiating each of the segments and
stages of the credit life cycle.
Since 2018, the Bank has been executing the Collection Integral Plan, which is a transformation
project that involves process improvement, data management, remediable products, customer's
experience and IT platform, among the most important, which execution continues in 2020.
Considering the health crisis scenario, management focus on sensitive and vulnerable sectors, as
well as management on the highest value reprogrammed and refinanced groups, was key to
controlling deterioration during 2020.
As part of this plan, in 2020, the write-offs operation was implemented in the portfolios; the Key
Performance Indicator and Key Risk Indicator collection and recovery dashboards were
strengthened, new tenders were executed in external collection channels and legal studies, the
Level Services Agreements and the performance supervision of the providers. As part of the new
management impulses, the BEC and Retail Solution Office was launched, which allowed a scheme
closer to the portfolio with problems, and an improvement in the levels of containment.
▪ Anticipate Plan: 4 executives and a risk leader were selected for the exclusive attention of
255 customers who, in coordination with the branch network, were the ones that presented
the greatest warnings in 2020. The objective of the team was to carry out the diagnosis and
coordination with the admission team for readjust through rescheduling or with the Stage 3
team for timely refinancing.
▪ Solution plan: The executives of the commercial network (more than 180 executives)
carried out the plan, with a role exclusively to the recovery activity. This team is led by 13
monitoring heads whose objective is the location of the main customers, diagnosis and
redirection of operations through rescheduling or refinancing.
The retail portfolio segmentation was carried out considering the impact and materiality
matrices (Debt ranges) for the private and SME portfolio. In addition, collection management
differs whether the portfolio was rescheduled or not.
The impact level on the SME portfolio took as the main axis economic activity according to
the company's business line, which were classified as Winning, Sensitive, Critical and Very
critical, with Winning activities being those that were benefited by this COVID juncture.
313
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
▪ Collection plan: The implant model was developed, which is a supervision model based on
the physical presence of a Bank supervisor at the provider's physical facilities in order to
maximize the performance of the collection processes and guarantee the execution of the
strategies and tactical actions and even those of human resources. Currently, due to the
situation, the physical presence was replaced with the virtual scheme; however, 100% of the
supervisor's dedication was maintained exclusively to the assigned provider.
A competition was held between the six external collection companies that manage the Bank's
retail portfolio to choose only three strategic allies for the year 2021 and, therefore, the collection
team was restructured into 6 implant supervisors to monitor the three external companies for both
portfolio segments (Individuals and SMEs). In addition, two professionals from other areas were
incorporated to support the disbursements of the Refinances (coordination and registration),
preventive management tastings, support in the supervision of external companies while the
implant model was being developed and monitoring of the collection pilots.
Received guarantees
The requirement of guarantees may be a necessary instrument, but not sufficient for granting
credits; their acceptance is supplementary to the credit process that requires the previous
verification of the debtor's payment capacity or whether this debtor is able to generate sufficient
resources to allow the amortization of the risk assumed under the terms agreed.
The procedures for the management and valuation of guarantees received for loans granted to
customers as indicated in the Guarantees Policies, cover the guarantee acceptance policies and the
basic principles for setting, maintenance and release. All guarantees assigned are to be properly
instrumented and recorded in the corresponding register, monitoring they are currently updated and
have the corresponding insurance policies, in strict compliance with the rules laid down by the
regulatory body.
314
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The valuation of guarantees is governed by prudence principles, involving appraisals for mortgages,
market price for listed securities, value of interest in an investment fund, among others. These
principles establish internal milestones that may be stricter than those contained in local
regulations, and under which the value of guarantees is updated.

Market risk
Market risk arises as a consequence of the activity maintained in the markets, through financial
instruments whose value may be affected by variations in market conditions, reflected in changes in
the different assets and financial risk factors. The risk can be mitigated and even eliminated through
hedging (assets/liabilities or derivatives), or by undoing the open operation or position.
The main risks factors affecting market price are: interest rate, currency and price risks.
▪ Interest rate risk It arises as a consequence of variations in the provisional structure of market
interest rates, for the different currency.
▪ Currency risk: It arises due to fluctuations in the exchange rates for the different currencies.
▪ Price risk: It arises as a consequence of changes in the market price, either for the specific
instruments’ factors, nor for factors affecting all the instruments trades in the market.
In addition, and for certain positions, it is necessary to also consider other risks: spread, base,
volatility or correlation risk.
Value at risk (VaR) is the basic variable to measure and control the Bank's market risk. This risk
measure estimates the maximum loss, with a given level of confidence, that can occur in the market
positions of a portfolio for a certain time horizon. The Bank calculates the VaR using the historical
method with a confidence level of 99% and a time horizon of one day; the data period considered is
two years.
The structure of market risk limits determines a scheme of VaR and economic capital limits for
market risk, as well as alerts and specific ad-hoc sub-limits for types of risk, among others.
Likewise, validity tests are carried out on the risk measurement models used, which estimate the
maximum loss that can occur in the positions considered, with a certain level of probability (“back
testing”), as well as measurements of the impact of extreme movements market in the risk
positions maintained (“stress testing”). Currently, the stress analysis on historical scenarios of the
Lehman Brothers crisis (2008) is being carried out.
320
(Translation of Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)
The activity performed by the COAP is based on the interest risk measurements conducted by the
risks area. Which, acting as an independent unit, periodically quantifies the impact the variation in
interest rates has on the interest margin and the economic value of the BBVA Peru Group.
In addition to the sensitivity measurements to different variations in market rates, the BBVA Peru
Group develops probabilistic calculations that determine the “economic capital” (maximum loss in
economic value) and the “margin at risk” (maximum loss in the interest margin) due to structural
interest risk of the Bank's banking activity, excluding treasury activity, based on interest rate curve
simulation models. Stress testing is conducted periodically to complete the evaluation of the Bank's
interest risk profile.
All these risk measures are subject to subsequent analysis and monitoring, and the levels of risk
assumed and the degree of compliance with the authorized limits are transferred to the different
management and administration departments of the BBVA Peru Group.

In the measurement process, the BBVA Peru Group has established hypotheses on the evolution and behavior of certain items, such as those relating to
products without explicit or contractual expiration. These hypotheses are based on studies that approach the relationship between the interest rates of these
products and those of the market, and that allow the disaggregation of the specific balances into trend balances, with a long-term permanence degree, and
seasonal or volatile balances, with a short-term residual maturity.

Liquidity risk
The control, monitoring and management of liquidity risk aims, in the short term, to ensure
compliance with the Bank's payment commitments in a timely manner, without resorting to
obtaining funds under unfavorable conditions, or deteriorating the image and reputation of the
BBVA Peru Group. In the medium term, its objective is to ensure the suitability of the financial
structure and its evolution, in the context of the economic situation, the markets and regulatory
changes.
The management of liquidity and structural financing in the Bank are based on the principle of
financial autonomy of the BBVA Peru Group. This management approach contributes to prevent and
limit liquidity risk by reducing the Bank's vulnerability in periods of high risk.
The management and monitoring of liquidity risk is carried out comprehensively with a dual
approach: short-term and long-term. The short-term liquidity approach, with a time horizon of up to
one year, is focused on managing payments and collections from market activities, volatile
customer resources and the potential liquidity needs of the Bank as a whole. The second approach,
medium-term or financing, is focused on the financial management of the set of assets and
liabilities, focusing on the financing structure, and having a time horizon equal to or greater than the
annual one.
The integral management of liquidity is carried out by COAP, where the Financial Management Unit
of the Finance area analyzes the implications, in terms of financing and liquidity of the various Bank
projects and their compatibility with the structure of target financing and the situation of financial
markets. In this sense, the Financial Management Unit, in accordance with the approved budgets,
executes the agreed proposals by the COAP and manages liquidity risk in accordance with wide
scheme of limits, sub-limits and approved warnings on which the risk area carries out,
independently, its measurement and control work, providing the manager with support tools and
metrics for decision-making.
The periodic measurements of the risk incurred and the monitoring of the consumption of limits are
carried out by the Structural, Markets and Fiduciary Risks Unit, which monthly reports the liquidity
risks level to the COAP; as well as more frequently to the management units. It should be noted
that during the beginning of the state of emergency due to the COVID19 pandemic, the structural
risks unit increased the measurement frequency of the main liquidity indicators in order to carry out
a daily monitoring that allows anticipating any contingency and supporting the management areas.
Moreover, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has proposed a new liquidity
regulation scheme based on two ratios: Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) which is effective from 2015
and net stable funding ratio (NSFR) which has been implemented since 2018. The Bank and the
BBVA Peru Group participated in the quantitative impact study (QIS), which has included the new
regulatory challenges in its new general framework of action in the liquidity and financing area. At
local level, the SBS has also implemented the monitoring of the liquidity coverage ratio, following
the general guidelines of the BCBS, although adapting it to the Peruvian reality. The measurement
of liquidity coverage ratio has started on December 2013 and its measurement have a daily
frequency. The limit established for liquidity coverage ratio is 80% for the period from 2014 to 2017,
90% for 2018 and 100% for 2019 henceforth, which is being complied.
Since March 2020, the SBS has established the temporary inapplicability of the liquidity coverage
ratios in local and foreign currency. However, the structural risks unit has continued with the daily
measurement of the liquidity coverage ratios on a timely basis.

Operational Risk
The BBVA Peru Group articulates an operational risk management model implemented throughout
the organization, based on methodologies and procedures for the identification, assessing and
monitoring of operational risk, and supported by tools that allow qualitative and quantitative
management.
This model is based on a decentralized management of operational risk carried out by operational
risk management teams in the two lines of defense. In the first line we have the Risk Control
Assurer whose objective is to promote the adequate management of operational risk in their
respective management areas. The previous by extending the methodology of risk identification and
establishment of controls and working for this with the owners of the processes who are those
responsible for implementing mitigation plans and execution of controls. In the second line of
defense, there is a Risk Control Specialist team who define mitigation and control frameworks in
their area of specialty (across the entire organization) and contrast with the one implemented by the
first line.
Both control teams are in constant coordination of a methodological unit and constantly report to
the corresponding Internal Control and Operational Risk Committees. From the risk area, the non-
financial risk unit is in charge of coordinating the Internal Control and Operational Risk Committees,
the implementation of corporate management tools, the training of both control teams (Risk Control
Assurer and Risk Control Specialist), coordination for updating the risk map according to the
established methodology and monitoring of mitigation plans.
In connection with qualitative management, the Support Tool for Operational Risk Management
(STORM tool) makes it possible to record the operational risks identified by associating them with a
taxonomy of processes and their quantification, as well as recording the evaluation periodical
controls associated with critical risks. In 2020, risks and controls are being updated, maintaining the
DRAFT
In addition, there is a database, Integrated Operational Risk System (SIRO), which includes all
operational risk events that represent a loss for the BBVA Peru Group, is the fundamental
quantitative tool for risk management operational.
The Bank is authorized to use the alternative standard method for calculating the effective equity
requirement for operational risk, which allows it to optimize the regulatory capital requirement for
operational risk management.
The effective equity requirement for operational risk based on the alternative standard method as of
December 31, 2020 amounts to S/ 542 million (S/ 502 million as of December 31, 2019) and for
EDPYME based on the basic indicator method as of December 31, 2020 amounts to S/ 7 million
(S/ 6 million as of December 31, 2019).
Among the relevant initiatives carried out during 2020, the strengthening of the Bank's internal
control scheme stands out through the provision of a greater structure and work methodologies,
which has allowed the implementation of the two lines of defense in the internal control through
the roles of Risk Control Assurer and Risk Control Specialist mentioned. Likewise, the bank has
been working on implementing a new tool, which will support operational risk management.
The business continuity team has conducted actions to assure the business continuity during
national state of emergency, including people management and remote working.

In cases where the listed value is not available, the fair value is estimated based on the listed value
of a financial instrument with similar characteristics, the present value of the expected cash flows
or other valuation techniques; which can be significantly affected by the different assumptions
used.
Despite the fact that Management uses its best criteria in estimating the fair value of its financial
instruments, there are inherent weaknesses in any valuation technique. As a consequence, the fair
value may not be a rough estimate of the net realizable value or the liquidation value.
Regarding the methodology and assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the BBVA Peru
Group's financial instruments, the following should be considered:
▪ Level 1: For instruments quoted in active markets, the fair value is determined by the price
observed in those markets; and for instruments whose market price is not available but that
of its components is, the fair value will be determined based on the relevant market prices of
such components.
▪ Level 2: For instruments quoted in non-active markets, fair value is determined by using a
valuation technique or model that mostly uses market data and minimizes the use of data
provided by the Bank.
▪ Level 3: For unquoted instruments, fair value is determined using valuation techniques or
models.
The fair value of held for trading and investments available-for-sale has been determined based on
their market prices or the quotations of the underlying assets (sovereign risk rates) on the date of
the consolidated financial statements.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using valuation techniques.

As described in note 1.B, the Peruvian government issued various COVID-19 supreme and
emergency decrees in the year 2020. Likewise, on January 13, 2021, the Peruvian government
implemented various restrictive measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including extending
confinement in “extreme risk” regions until the end of February 2021 and the State of Emergency
until September 2, 2021. In this sense, management conducts a continuous monitoring of the
Peruvian Government measures.
On January 13, 2021, the Bank was authorized through SBS Resolution 00120-2021 to the
contracting of a redeemable subordinated loan for up to US$ 200 million computable in the Level 2

Presentation letter4
Banco BBVA Peru has a corporate governance system based on the best quality standards that, over
the years, has been strengthened due to the incorporation of the best market practices, but, above
all, by having collected the experience of interaction at different points of contact with its
stakeholders. This relationship allows it to have solid pillars of corporate governance in all areas,
which has been essential to actively face the challenges and impact that the covid-19 pandemic
represents.
As a result of this joint creation process, based on listening to and attending to the requirements and
needs of the different stakeholders around the Bank, the desire for the application of new
technologies was gathered in the fundamental pillars of its performance.
The technology of Banco BBVA Peru has been its best ally in this complex global context caused by
the pandemic. The Bank has been betting on it over time, which has encouraged relationships with
stakeholders, including customers, its reason for being, not only has remained unchanged and with
the same fluidity as always, but that the improvements implemented in its digital channels, such as
the products and services offered through its app, allowed an easy adaptation to non-face-to-face
operations. This technology is an undertaking that the Bank makes available to everyone and that
leads not only to financial inclusion but also to compliance with biosafety measures in these times of
health crisis.
On the other hand, not only was the normal functioning of the Bank’s corporate governance bodies
maintained but, in light of the events, they were improved in quality by collecting the benefits
provided by the use of new technologies in the ways of working, printing your processes faster and
better results.
An example of this was the virtual 2020 mandatory annual shareholders meeting, implemented
based on the temporary regulations issued for this purpose and using technological mechanisms
that guaranteed the non-face-to-face participation of shareholders, the issuance of the vote and,
above all, the expression of opinions on the different points of the agenda discussed. Experience has
shown that this modality will not be transitory but has come to stay. Banco BBVA Peru understands
that the digitization of its processes will be key in the immediate future, which is why it has been
adapting and strengthening the governance principles that govern the participation of its
shareholders in the highest corporate body for the use of technology.
On the other hand, it should be noted that the operation of the board of directors, the committees
delegated by the board, the management committee and the internal committees maintained their
customary rhythm of work thanks to technology, without suffering any alteration as a result of the
health crisis.
Finally, as a corollary of the Bank’s corporate governance system, it should be noted that, during the
fiscal year 2020, Banco BBVA Peru maintained its inclusion in the corporate governance index of the
Lima Stock Exchange, in recognition of the application of the best good governance practices.
Likewise, it was ranked first in the ranking of the best companies in “La Voz del Mercado”, in the
Finance category, a survey implemented by the Lima Stock Exchange in coordination with the
auditing firm Ernst & Young (EY) that takes into account Consideration of the opinion of the agents
that interact with the main companies that operate in the capital markets of Peru and abroad.
May this cover letter serve to highlight the commitment of Banco BBVA Peru to permanently apply
the best standards of good corporate governance.

9. Independent review report of
non-financial information
We have been engaged by Banco BBVA Peru to perform an independent review of the non-financial information contained
in the Annual Report 2020 - Integrated Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 (hereinafter the Report). The
information reviewed is limited to the content described in the GRI Content Index identified in the "General GRI Standards"
box, with the symbol "" in the "External Verification" field.
Management Responsibilities
BBVA's Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Report in accordance with the Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI) Social Responsibility Reporting Guidelines in its Global Sustainability Standards Board version, in
its exhaustive option, and the Financial Services Sector Supplement, as detailed in the GRI Content Index of the Report.
Management is also responsible for the information and assertions contained therein; for determining BBVA's objectives
regarding the selection and presentation of information on sustainable development performance, including the
identification of stakeholders and material issues; and for establishing and maintaining the performance management and
control systems from which the information is obtained.
These responsibilities include establishing such controls as management deems necessary to enable the preparation of
indicators with a limited level of assurance to be free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to perform a limited review and, based on the work performed, to issue this report, which relates
exclusively to the information for the year 2020. We conducted our work in accordance with ISAE 3000, Assurance
Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information.
This standard requires that we plan and perform our work so as to obtain limited assurance about whether the report is
free from material misstatement.
KPMG applies ISQC1 (International Standard on Quality Control 1) and in accordance with ISQC1 maintains a
comprehensive system of quality control that includes documented policies and procedures relating to compliance with
ethical requirements, professional standards, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is based on the fundamental
principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and diligence, confidentiality and professional behavior.
Our limited review work has been carried out through interviews with the Head of Institutional Relations and the persons
in charge of preparing the information included in the Report, and the application of analytical and other procedures
aimed at gathering evidence, such as:
— Verification of the processes in place at Banco BBVA Peru to determine which are the material aspects, as well as the
participation of stakeholders in them.
— Verification, through interviews with the Head of Institutional Relations and other relevant employees, both at group
level and at the level of the selected business units, of the existence of a sustainability and Corporate Responsibility
strategy and policies to address material issues, and their implementation.
— The evaluation of the consistency of the description of the application of the policies and strategy in terms of
sustainability, governance, ethics and integrity of Banco BBVA Peru.
— The review of the consistency of the information that responds to the General Standard Disclosures with the internal
systems or documentation.
— The analysis of the compilation and internal control processes of the quantitative data reflected in the Report, in
terms of the reliability of the information, using analytical procedures and review tests based on sampling, including
the information related to Banco BBVA Peru established in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) in its Sustainability
441
Reporting Standards version of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards), in accordance with the exhaustive
option.
— Reading the information included in the Report to determine whether it is in line with our general knowledge and
experience regarding the sustainability performance of Banco BBVA Peru.
— The contrast of the financial information reflected in the Report with that included in the annual accounts of Banco
BBVA Peru, audited by independent third parties.
Any information other than that described above and included in the GRI Index has not been reviewed as part of our work.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and time spent, being less extensive than
those of a reasonable assurance engagement.
Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is lower than that of a reasonable
assurance engagement. This report should in no way be construed as an audit report.
Conclusions
Our conclusion is based on, and subject to, the matters indicated in this Independent Review Report. We consider that the
evidence we have obtained provides a sufficient and appropriate basis for our conclusions.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, as described above, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the GRI indicators in the Report have not been prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Social Responsibility Reporting Guidelines and are not fairly
presented, including the reliability of the data and the absence of material misstatements and omissions.
In a separate document, we will provide BBVA management with an internal report containing all of our findings and/or
areas for improvement.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of our engagement letter, this Independent Review Report has been prepared
for Banco BBVA Peru in connection with the 2020 Annual Report - Integrated Report and therefore has no other purpose
and may not be used in any other context.
