Income Statement

Total interest income from loans and deposits totalled €1.33 billion during Q2 2016, a decrease of 8 per cent since Q2 2015. Domestic market [1] banks accounted for €1.1 billion of total interest income from loans and deposits (Chart 1). Since Q4 2012, interest payable on loans and deposits, which includes interest related to inter-bank lending, has decreased by 80 per cent to €294 million in Q2 2016. Both domestic market banks and IFSC banks experienced large declines with the former falling by 87 per cent and the latter falling by 49 per cent (Chart 2). The fall in interest income and expenses reflects lower market rates and deleveraging in the sector.

General expenses and other operating costs totalled €1.44 billion in Q2 2016. Wages and salaries, which is the primary driver of general expenses, accounted for €574 million of this. Domestic market banks accounted for €433 million of total wages and salaries (Chart 3).
