Górnośląski Bank Gospodarczy to become core of expanded Getin

"We want to acquire funds from the market to take over Górnośląski Bank Gospodarczy, which will become the trunk of the current holding. We will spend zł.255 million on this project, but we will need to increase the share capital of the bank by zł.40-50 million," explained Leszek Czarnecki the president of Getin. He added that GBG's operations would be extended to cover the whole country, but this would require the purchase of an IT system. "We are present on the Russian market through Carcade. Over the next three years it should turn into the leasing market leader for SMEs," announced Czarnecki. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
