Kredyt Inkaso to enter another CEE market

Poland's Kredyt Inkaso, which specializes in debt portfolio management, is considering buying portfolios in other countries in the CEE region. The company will announce its choice within a month. The total purchase in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and in the new market is to reach PLN 150 million, the firm estimated. "Operations on foreign markets guarantee us stable growth dynamics. We are planning to expand our retail portfolio in Bulgaria and to enter new markets in Central and Eastern Europe. We will inform the public within a month about the chosen country," the firm's CEO Paweł Szewczyk said. Romania, after Poland, is the second-largest Kredyt Inkaso market. "We have already bought 19 retail portfolios there and we are going to buy further secured and not secured corporate portfolios this year," Szewczyk added. The company is listed on the WSE since 2007.
