OTP, Hungary’s largest banking
group, easily outperformed analysts’ forecasts in the first
quarter, although net income fell by 24 percent to HUF41.8 billion
($205.4 million) on increased provisions and losses at its
Ukrainian subsidiary.
And, in an upbeat statement, the bank said it
was on course to achieve its annual net profit target of HUF150
billion.

“We continue to see it as achievable. What
we’re seeing are in line with our plans, including risk
provisions,” said Laszlo Urban, the bank’s finance director in a
statement.
Having posted a HUF9.1 billion loss in the
first quarter, Urban forecast the bank’s Ukrainian unit could yet
break even for fiscal 2009 as a whole.
