Poland’s top lender PKO BP Q2 profit quadruples on core business, low provisions

GDANSK (Reuters) – Poland’s biggest bank PKO BP said on Thursday second-quarter net profit quadrupled year-on-year, beating market expectations, mainly fuelled by a strong uptick in core business performance, as well as a drop in legal provisions for Swiss franc mortgage loans.

Profit for the period climbed to 2.35 billion zlotys ($611.61 million) while analysts polled had expected 2.14 billion. Net interest income, the state-owned lender’s main revenue generator, jumped 15% to 5.05 billion zlotys.
