                   9.  Classified credit




                   The volume of classified credit decreased noticeably in
                   early-2020. Moreover, the “special mention” category,

                   which dominated classified credit in 2019, declined

                   while the “loss” category increased in 2020. As a result,

                   although the volume of classified credit declined in 2020,
                   the coverage ratios remained high as the loss category

                   necessitated higher provisions. Accordingly, the coverage

                   ratios through specific and total provisions stood at

                   42.2% and 49.8%, respectively, in December 2020,
                   compared to 41.4% and 50.2% in the previous year.
