Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank: "Euribor and term deposit interest rates are moving in a clear downward trend. Lower interest rates encourages investments, but the new growth cycle of the Estonian economy has not yet gained good momentum. This has put companies in a rather wait-and-see position and corporate demand for financing is moderate. The home loan market remains active, and Coop Pank's home loan portfolio continues to grow rapidly. By keeping costs and revenues under control, Coop Pank achieved a decent profit of 2.8 million euros in August. Coop Pank's return on equity was 16.6% in August and the cost-to-income ratio was 49%. Customer base of Coop Pank reached nearly 200,000 customers in August. The 200,000th customer joined the bank yesterday, on September 10th. The customer base, which is growing at an accelerating pace, shows that Estonians appreciate the advantages of a domestic bank and actively use its services."
