management at the bank, and as a result, the main objective in this regard is to align the
objectives of the employees themselves with the long-term interests of the bank. To this end,

•
Alignment with long-term interests
•
Suitable ratio between the fixed and variable components
•
Internal equality and external competitiveness

As well as conducting an annual internal, central and independent assessment of the application
of the Identified Staff’s remuneration policy, Cecabank commissioned Ernst&Young Abogados,
S.L.P. to assess the remuneration policy as an external consultant.
