The underlying cost of credit risk declined to -€854 million, an increase of +39% compared with the second quarter of 2022, when it stood at -€615 million. The expense of -€854 million in the second quarter of 2023 breaks down into a provision for performing loans (stages 1 and 2) of -€154 million (vs. €220 million in the second quarter of 2022), a provision of -€697 million for proven risk (stage 3 - vs. €401 million in the second quarter of 2022), this decline is linked to the default of major French banking operations and the increase in proven risk in retail banking and consumer finance, and lastly a provision of -€3 million for other risks. The provisioning levels were determined by taking into account several weighted economic scenarios, as in previous quarters, and by applying adjustments on sensitive portfolios. The weighted economic scenarios for the second quarter were updated, with a favourable scenario (French GDP at +1% in 2023, +2.4% in 2024) and an unfavourable scenario (French GDP at +0.1% in 2023 and -0.1% in 2024). The cost of credit risk on outstandings8over a rollingfour-quarterperiod stood at 25 basis points, which is in line with the 25 basis point assumption of theMedium-TermPlan. It stands at 29 basis points on a quarterly annualised basis9.
Underlyingpre-taxincome stood at €3,160 million, a year-on-year increase of +7.7%. The underlying pre-tax income included the contribution from equity-accounted entities for €58 million (down -44.0%, mainly due to the line-by-line consolidation of
