Banco do Brasil concentrates its efforts in the areas of agricultural credit and insurance.

When I consider the profile of the average Brazilian family, which values face-to-face service and seeks long-term relationships, it becomes clear that the bank has a competitive advantage. I often ask my clients: where do you feel safer saving, in a digital bank or in a traditional bank ? Most responses lead me to believe that digital banks are preferred for quick transactions, however, institutions with physical branches maintain lasting personal connections with families, forming bonds that are difficult to break. When discussing Banco do Brasil , it is important to consider political risk, since the government is the main shareholder , and government statements can impact the share price , causing some apprehension. This justifies the discount on Banco do Brasil 's multiples in relation to its peers.

Revenues from service provision (+1.7%) also increased, mainly influenced by the lines of fund administration, security products, consortiums and capital markets. However, expanded PCLD expenses increased (+4.7%), impacted by the increase in the credit risk of companies in the large corporate segment that filed for judicial recovery in January 2023, leaving risk G (70%) for risk H (100%). Administrative expenses were controlled (+1.5%), reflecting the adequate management of contracts and investments in the Bank's digital transformation.
