We keep our constructive view on the Polish banks. We admit that the upside we see is far less than the share price performance last year (WIG Bank index up 119% in the LTM). However, we cannot ignore the single-digit P/Es (our sector median 2024E P/E at 8.3x), in combination with the falling cost of equity, which is, in part, the result of improved sentiment in the country and improving growth expectations. All this is topped up with generous dividend payments this year. The solid earnings outl...

The 75bps cut in the reference rate by the NBP yesterday (6 September) came as a surprise, vs. the market’s expectations of a 25bps cut.

We expect the benchmark rate to lan...
