Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank:
"Coop Pank's customer base is fast approaching 200,000 customers, which shows that Estonians have well accepted the domestic bank and are actively using its advantages.
On the loan market, home loans and car leasing have shown the highest activity across the market. Coop Pank has significantly increased its market share in household loans - in the first half of 2024, Coop Pank has made more than 15% of the growth of the entire market and even larger share of the growth of the leasing market. The good growth of home loans and leasing has continued as well in July. On the side of business loans, market growth is more modest, and primarily financing transactions from one bank to another take place.
In the money markets, the downward trend of interest rates is predicted to continue, which will consistently lower both the Euribore and term deposit interest rates.
The growth of business volumes in all business lines and the continued good quality of the loan portfolio resulted in a strong net profit of 3.1 million euros in July. Coop Pank's return on equity in July was 18.4% and the cost-income ratio was 47%, which exceed the bank's long-term goals."
