Q: What prevents Credicorp from updating its instructions in the first quarter in view of the improvement environment and the strong ROE? Is it due to political uncertainties or risks of lower raw material prices? Could there be a revision in the second quarter? A: Alejandro Perez-Reyes, CFO: While we expect to be over the current guidance of around 17.5% ROE, global uncertainties, in particular trade stresses and potential effects on global growth, keep us careful. We do not expect any changes to our views for Peru this year, but we will consider revising the instructions if the stability continues and improves clarity.
