PKO BP SAPKO BP lender does not rule out interest margin expansion, but not in base case scenario
Poland's largest lender by assets PKO BP does not rule out a further increase in interest margin, but this is not a base case scenario for the bank, the bank's deputy CEO Krzysztof Dresler said.
"An increase in the interest margin cannot be ruled out, but this is not a base case scenario," Dresler said.
"For us, the stability of the interest margin is a high value," he added.
The quarterly interest margin stood at 4.88 percent, compared to 4.4 percent in the second quarter (4.83 percent excluding loan holidays).
