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

"Coop Pank has a very clear growth strategy and our growth, first of all, is driven by our loan portfolio, which has grown by 47% over the year. To finance such rapid growth, it is necessary to attract deposits, and I am pleased that in October our deposits increased by a record amount: we received 61 million euros in one month, most of which were corporate deposits.

As the bank's business volumes grow rapidly, so do our revenues. At the same time, our cost growth is slower, and our provisions are conventional. Due to growth of domestic demand deposits, our financing cost will decrease, which was 1% last year and fell to 0.9% this year. Our return on equity was 9.2% in October."
