Corporate and retail clients

The Bank has a strong, diversified and rapidly growing client base comprised of more than 17,000 corporate and 457,000 retail clients as of y/e 2007.

• On the corporate side, the Bank continues to diversify its client base by gradually diminishing the share of large corporates and servicing the very dynamic SME clientele on the basis of standardised products and loan origination procedures. SMEs now represent 97% of the Bank’s corporate clients.
• On the retail side, the Bank has been particularly successful in attracting a growing volume of retail deposits, reaching a better than average market position in this segment.
