Under the Downside 2 scenarios, total ECL increases to £586m, driven by a significant fall in UK HPI (18.3)% in 2023 reflecting the non-linearity of the UK portfolio. Credit cards, unsecured loans and other retail lending: Total weighted ECL of £3,411m is aligned to the Baseline ECL (£3,413m). The impact of the deteriorated Baseline scenario relative to the severity of the downside scenarios is greater than the impact of the higher weights applied to the Downside scenarios when compared to 2021. This results in a convergence between Baseline and Weighted ECL in 2022. Total ECL increases to £3,943m under the Downside 2 scenario, mainly driven by significant increase in UK unemployment rate to 6% and US unemployment rate to 6% in 2023 Wholesale loans: Total weighted ECL of £977m represents a 6.3% increase over the Baseline ECL (£919m). Total ECL increases to £1,783m under Downside 2 scenario, driven by a significant decrease in UK GDP to (3.4)% and US GDP to (2.7)% in 2023
