Getin Bank gettin' busy

In addition to this deal it is also planning a series of further acquisitions. After three quarters of 2004 Getin Bank (which is also known as Górnośląski Bank Gospodarczy until November) has posted a net profit of zł.41 million, already fulfilling the target for the whole year. Leszek Czarnecki, president of Getin Bank wants to rapidly develop his financial group by pursuing mergers with related companies. The institution is now looking for other targets, such as leasing companies, which will become a financing pillar for small companies, as well as acquiring a car loan company in Russia. (Poland A.M.)
