ZAGREB, Sept 4 (Hina) - "The Banker" magazine, which is published by
The Financial Times, has proclaimed Privredna Banka Zagreb (PBZ)
Croatia's Bank of the Year, PBZ said on Wednesday. #L#
"The Banker" evaluated more than 2,000 banks throughout the world,
awarding them by regions and countries. The aim was to find the bank
with the best performance in the preceding year, which need not be
the biggest bank in the region or country.
This is PBZ's second Bank of the Year award after the one presented
by "Euromoney" magazine.
The positive financial indicators which qualified for the award
were a 43-percent net profit growth, a 61-percent growth in total
deposits, including a 71.5-percent increase in those made by
citizens, and a 41-percent increase of the bank's balance, which
exceeds 31 billion kuna (EUR4.2 billion).
