Investing in Erste Group

Willi Cernko, CEO of Erste Group Bank AG
"Twenty years after the first EU enlargement involving Central and Eastern Europe, it’s clear that a real success story has been and is being written in the region. However, CEE is also facing major challenges that need to be overcome. The green transformation and advancing digitalization - all of this will require investment, for which we are available as a partner. One very welcome development: CEE is returning to its role as Europe's growth engine.”

Stefan Dörfler, CFO of Erste Group Bank AG
"2023 was a strong year for our banking group. Despite the macroeconomic slowdown, we achieved an excellent result thanks to our loan volume growth and a favorable interest rate and risk environment. Even if the interest rate landscape is likely to change in the course of the current year: We are positioned to finance the ongoing upswing in our region.”
