Komercni Banka: KB revenues to be driven by further credit growth CEO A. Juan said in an interview for weekly magazíne Euro that the target in the business plan up to 2007 is to further increase the credit portfolio, in particular consumer loans and mortgages, and credit cards. Revenues should grow faster, driven mainly by net interest income rather than net fees and commissions, while on the cost side there is not much room left for a decline. The bank also plans to increase the number of branches from the current 335. For 2005 the bank expects mortgages to rise by 40%, consumer loans by 15%, credits to SMEs by 30% and loans to large corporates by 5-6%, while the number of credit cards should increase by 70%. In terms of group reorganization, the investment company IKS should fall under the direct control of Societe General Asset Management. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The 2005 outlook is in line with our expectations. The sale of IKS to Societe Generale is also in line with the company strategy and was already announced in the past.
