PKO BP prepares aggressive strategy to keep it No.1

Later this month PKO BP will appoint a new supervisory board which will help draft a strategy for the coming six years. "Regardless of how large Pekao will be following the merger with Bank BPH, we intend to keep position as market leader. We also want to be a bank of significant importance in the region," said Slawomir Skrzypek, acting CEO of PKO BP. In terms of the number of personal accounts, with over 6 million, PKO BP will remain a leader, as well as in terms of the number of outlets (it has 1,300 branches plus 2,500 agencies). "We will develop distribution channels. We also plan a higher sale of products," said Skrzypek. The bank will develop its corporate sector, as well deepen cooperation with BOS in terms of environmental projects. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 14) M.M.
