 Net interest income increased by 7% q-o-q and 10% y-o-y driven by both
volumes and interest rates primarily being higher in CZ. NIM as a result also
improved by 10 bps on total assets q-o-q. Net F&C were very strong again in
the quarter with record figure of EUR 613 mln, up 4% q-o-q on very robust
asset mgmt. and payment services in Austria
