Comment by Margus Rink, Chairman of the Management Board of Coop Pank:

"In the context of customer activity, January was rather a calm month typical of the beginning of the year. As the main trends, we see that there is high competition for deposits on the market and new loan applications are in a downward trend. Accordingly, the growth of our business volumes in January was also modest.

By the beginning of the year, in the economy, there has clearly developed the interest rate environment, which once again favours long-term depositors instead of borrowers. Coop Pank's loan portfolio continues to be of high quality. In our profit numbers, the income earned from Euribor plays an increasingly important role, but at the same time, the interest costs paid on deposits are also growing rapidly.

In 2023, we want to continue making the best offers on the market for demand and term deposits and be a flexible and reliable partner for borrowers.”
