NII growth remains resilient despite UK rate cuts, supported by lending, structural hedges, and lower deposit costs, while non-interest revenue is weak. Operating expenses are rising faster than revenues, and loan loss provisions have increased, pressuring earnings growth despite robust RoTE and capital ratios.

Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) and NatWest Group PLC (LSE:NWG) could be among the biggest winners in the next leg of the European banking sector's rerating, according to analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. Loan growth – running at an annualised 3% in the first half of 2025 – will be central to driving valuations higher in the sector, alongside a steeper yield curve, the broker said.
