Bank Pekao SAPekao lender rules out no MREL issue in 2025
Listed lender Bank Pekao does not rule out another MREL issue in the autumn, with another 1-2 such issues possible in 2026, deputy CEO Dagmara Wojnar told a press conference following the release of bank's financial report.
"In the context of our balance sheet growth and lending growth, we are likely to plan another MREL issue in the autumn and one or two issues next year to prepare us for further growth," Wojnar told the conference.
At the end of June, the Pekao group's total capital ratio (TCR) was 17.2 percent and Tier 1 was 15.6 percent. In both cases, they were above the regulatory minimums.
The bank announced on Thursday that the MREL-TREA and MREL-TEM requirements are met at both the total and subordinated levels.
