Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank:
"In November, the number of Coop Pank customers grew rapidly and an increasing number of local individuals and businesses actively using Coop Pank's services to manage their daily financial affairs.
In November, the relatively rapid decline in interest rates continued in the market. On one hand, this has led to a decrease in deposit interest rates, but on the other hand, it reduces clients' loan payments and also encourages borrowing. All Coop Pank's loan portfolios grew in November, with the fastest growth seen in home loans, business loans, and leasing portfolios.
As Coop Pank has consistently increased its market share in loans issued to Estonian households and businesses, as well as in deposits raised from them in recent years, in November Eesti Pank designated Coop Pank as a systemically important credit institution. This decision obligates Coop Pank to maintain an additional systemic importance buffer of 0.5 percent. The additional capital buffer further strengthens Coop Pank's capitalization and enhances the bank's resilience in potential crises.
In November, Coop Pank achieved a solid net profit of 2.0 million euros. Since the beginning of the year, Coop Pank's return on equity has been 16.7%, and the cost-to-income ratio has been 49%."
