Speaking at Banca Ifis's NPL Meeting in September 2022, Geertman stated that the bank's Market Watch projected 82 billion euros in new non-performing exposures over the following three years, an increase of 10 billion from earlier forecasts. He attributed the expected rise to unfavorable macroeconomic factors including inflation and rising interest rates while noting that Italian households and businesses remained relatively liquid. He said the bank had purchased 1.4 billion euros in non-performing loans in the first half of 2022, on pace with its plan to buy approximately 2.5 billion annually. At the June 2023 NPL Meeting, Geertman said the impact of COVID-19 had been "much more modest" than feared and that banks were proactively managing their balance sheets by selling excess NPLs. He reiterated the forecast of 82 billion euros in new NPLs over three years. In July 2023, he stated that Banca Ifis expected to achieve at least 120 million euros in profit for the year, citing the bank's diversified business model and its "Resi" lending operation.
