Raiffeisen Bank reported 55% slump in 2009 net profit to €74 million from a hefty €165 million a year earlier. However, the bank’s total assets increased in the trailing year to €4.692 billion.
In 2008, the bank had reported a net profit of €165 million, from €94 million in 2007.
“I believe we achieved a pretty good result, given the challenging economic climate. The decline reflects the sharp increase in bad loans provisions that almost doubled in 2009, but we managed to offset it by a healthy cost management and achieved a 7.4% cut in expenses”, said Steven van Groningen, chairman of Raiffeisen Bank Romania.
However, the bank’s cost-containment strategy didn’t involve the shutdown of outlets, as 6 new units were added to the existent 553-units network in 2009.
Raiffeisen Bank’s total assets increased to €4.692 billion, as the bank outsourced loans worth €1.5 billion.
