BMI View: We believe the Chilean banking sector remains well positioned for sustained growth over the coming years, due to the country's strong economic fundamentals and excellent regulatory environment.

While a deceleration of economic growth in 2012 will likely see credit expansion moderate slightly over the coming quarters, we believe the banking sector's vulnerability to external shocks remains low, and will continue to underpin the healthy growth of commercial banking services in the long term.

We maintain a constructive outlook towards the Chilean commercial banking sector, as the country's solid economic growth prospects, excellent regulatory environment, and low levels of delinquencies and systemic risk will continue to underpin strong growth in client loans and deposits over the coming years. While the Chilean banking sector's high level of penetration means that the growth potential for traditional banking activities is somewhat more limited than in other countries in the region, we believe opportunities for expansion will remain abundant, especially in sophisticated high-end banking services.

Robust Outlook, Despite Moderating Credit Growth In line with our view for a gradual deceleration of Chile's economic growth over the coming quarters - we expect real GDP growth to decline to 4.8% in 2012 from 6.0% in 2011 - we believe credit growth in the country will cool slightly in 2012. Client loan growth in Chile has already started to cool, rising by 15.4% y-o-y in February, compared to 18.8% in November 2011. While we expect this deceleration to continue over the coming months, we believe credit growth in the country will remain in the double digits in 2012.
