Company president, Jacek Ksen who is resigning from the post, stated that the bank's complete financial results for 2006 will be published at the end of February. However, he declared that. "I can say that there were record gross and net profits." It means that the bank must have fulfilled its forecasts and will be the fourth domestic bank with a gross profit exceeding zl.1 billion. The net profit is expected to amount to around zl.800 million. Jacek Ksen emphasized that BZ WBK is successful both in retail and capital services and increased the volume of consumer loans by almost 100% to zl.1 billion. "We were incredibly successful on the capital market. Arka TFI investment fund is at second place on the market, and our asset management company is a number one in the retail customers' portfolio," stated Ksen who added that he is proud of the condition of the company he leaves to his successor.
