Chairman’s Statement

To Our Shareholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am honoured to present the Housing Bank for Trade and Finance / Algeria (HBTF / Algeria) 2012 Annual Report, including our achievements and financial results, noting that the Bank complies with all applicable rules and regulations.

2012 was another eventful year. With problems in the Euro zone, the turbulence in Arab region and the rise in oil prices, all resulted in significant uncertainties which might have indirectly affected the overall performance of the Algerian economy in general.

As a result real GDP grew in 2012 only by 2.5% , public debt decreased, and the foreign currency reserves at the Bank of Algeria increased.

The Bank’s Financial Performance

HBTF / Algeria achieved better financial results in 2012. Pretax net profit grew to DZD2 billion (US$25.9 million) whereas after tax net profit grew to DZD1.4 billion (US$18.5 million).

The balance sheet reflects the financial strength and sound position. Total assets increased to DZD40.6 billion, customers’ deposits increased to DZD17.3 billion, credit portfolio grew to DZD11.8 billion.

The result of these developments had a positive effect on some of the Bank’s key performance indicators. Return on assets was 4.1%, return on equity grew to 11.3%, loan to deposit ratio was 68.2%, and cost to income ratio dropped from 28% in 2011 to 25.1% in 2012. The NPLs ratio improved from 5.5% to 4.5%.

Despite the fact that the results were excellent, the Board of Directors recommended to the Shareholders’ General Assembly not to distribute profits in 2012 in order to strengthen Shareholders’ equity and reinforce the Bank’s own financial capabilities.

Gratitude

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Bank of Algeria for their support of the banking sector.

I would also like to thank our shareholders and our clients. Special thanks to the members of the Board, and the Bank’s staff and management team for their hard work and dedication.

Respectfully,

Dr. Michel Marto

Chairman of the Board
