BOŚ expects to finally fulfill an annual projection

In 2003 company representatives projected net profits of around zł.40 million, but only managed to generate a mere zł.22 million. Last year the net result was to stand at zł.37 million. "I think in 2004 we will meet our forecasts. Our better results were a consequence of dynamic economic development," said BOŚ president, Józef Kozioł, who went on to say that the financial figures in 2005 should be even higher. "The bank aims to strengthen its position on the retail market and the SME sector," adds Kozioł. BOŚ managed to open an additional 20 outlets last year and announced plans to open the same number of spots this year as well. The target is to reach 100 branches. (Puls Biznesu, p. 11) A.K.
