The profit of the BRD bank was the same (RON 617 mln) and 1.9% smaller in YoY terms.
The net banking incomes increased by 9.0% YoY while the expenditures advanced by only 5.1% YoY - which resulted in a 13.2% stronger operating result for BRD bank - a result that was impacted, however, by the net cost of risk generated by provisioning for bad loans.
