Héctor Grisi, Banco Santander México's Executive President and CEO, commented: "This quarter, we delivered robust financial and operating results that were achieved in a still very weak and complex operating environment. Our loan book grew mid-single-digits year-over-year, while demand for mortgages, auto and commercial loans was healthy. Consumer and SME loans, on the other hand, continued contracting, consistent with market trends and weak demand conditions. Deposits have proven resilient, though, registering double-digit growth which, together with our prudent balance sheet strategy, have enabled us to maintain ample levels of liquidity while growing net income around 19% sequentially and increasing ROAE +201 bps to 13.9%. On top of this, we closed 3Q20 with the strongest capital ratio since becoming a listed company.
In terms of asset quality, we are pleased to report that close to 85% of the loan portfolio under the payment holiday program, which is supporting our retail and SMEs customers, remains current. Only 8% of these loans have missed one or two payments and 7% is being restructured. The program has not had a negative impact, yet, on our NPL ratio. Performance has been better-than-expected and we estimate that the preemptive loan loss provisions of Ps.3.9 billion that we made in the previous quarter are adequate at this time. Furthermore, we continue executing our recoveries and restructuring plan, which has enabled us to act swiftly and preemptively to effectively respond to the challenging operating environment, as well as help customers overcome temporary financial difficulties.
In addition to our focus on managing risk under this environment, we continue advancing our core strategy, such as growing our base of loyal customers. We also continue making new investments under the bank's transformation plan, mainly in IT and digitalization, while seeking efficiencies in other lines and maintaining tight control of costs in support of our bottom line.
I would like to thank all our employees for the extraordinary work they have done throughout these challenging times. Their commitment to executing our growth plans with excellence, in addition to our bank's strong liquidity and capital positions, make us confident that we are not only well positioned to continue effectively weathering the current economic challenges but to capitalize on growth opportunities that will undoubtedly arise under current circumstances. Our commitment and financial strength also mean our Bank can continue supporting our customers, as we recover together from these unprecedented challenges."
