The Medical Services Result, a new addition to Credicorp's reporting due to an acquisition, was recorded at S/42.7 million for the quarter. Credicorp's performance was bolstered by robust operational results in Universal Banking and Insurance & Pensions sectors, with improved momentum in Microfinance, and continued growth in fee-based and transactional volumes. The risk-adjusted net interest margin strengthened to 5.24%, driven by lower provisioning and enhanced payment performance amidst a favorable economic backdrop.
