Daiwa Securities ready to become advisor to PKO BP

In a week, the Office of Public Procurement (UZP) will have to reply to the State Treasury whether the Treasury could choose an advisor for PKO BP ad hoc. "If permission is granted, then we hope to be shortlisted as we have placed our offer," said Dariusz Olszewski, president of TDI, a partner in the Daiwa consortium. He also believes that even if PKO BP is allowed to carry out privatization on its own, it will need an advisor. Daiwa representatives admit that even if their offer is rejected, they will try to become a direct advisor to PKO BP itself. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10) M.M.
