In SUB, we are seeing ongoing pressures from the negative interest rate environment, which we expect to substantially mitigate in 2020. In the meantime, we have identified opportunities to offset these pressures through real estate sales, at least one of which we expect to close in the fourth quarter

We are seeing a stable performance in IWM
|
§

APAC and GM are showing significantly better performances compared to 4Q18, which was particularly challenging
|

While we expect IBCM to be loss-making for 2019, our pipeline of announced deals has been building strongly in the fourth quarter, a marked improvement year on year
