CFO R. Ortner said economic and banking growth rates in Eastern Europe will outpace those in the West for as many as 20 years. The penetration rates of banking products in the region are far below Western European standards. For example, in Germany 79% of the population uses a banking savings product, while in the Czech Republic only 35%, in Croatia 33% and in Hungary 20%.
