Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank:
"In April, Coop Pank issued a large volume of business and home loans, resulting
in strong growth of the loan portfolio. Both the leasing and consumer finance
portfolios also grew by nearly one million euros each. Since certain provisions
must be made from the very first day for all loans, the rapid growth of the loan
portfolio was the main reason for the larger amount of provisions booked in
April.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty in the economy, the quality of Coop Pank's loan
portfolio remains very strong.
Due to rapid price increases and changes in the tax system, people have
increasingly been purchasing used cars. In response, Coop Pank introduced a new
leasing product in April, specifically designed for financing the purchase of
used vehicles.
Conscious reduction of deposit volume is linked to the successful international
covered bond issuance - in March, Coop Pank completed its first issuance of
four-year covered bonds in the amount of 250 million euros. Thanks to this, the
bank now has access to a long-term and stable funding source, which allows for a
partial reduction in the volume of more expensive term and foreign deposits now
and going forward."
