Raiffeisen Bank International: Despite the challenging market conditions and the ongoing low interest rate environment, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) posted a consolidated profit of Euro 804 mn (2019: 1,227 mn). In addition to its direct effects, the pandemic also resulted in significant interest rate cuts and currency devaluations in some of RBI’s core markets. "RBI entered the pandemic from a position of strength and therefore achieved a satisfactory result given the very difficult environment,” said Johann Strobl, RBI’s CEO. Taking the ECB’s recommendation on dividend payments into account, the Management Board of RBI will propose to the Annual General Meeting, planned for 22 April 2021, to pay a dividend of € 0.48 per share. "We are well capitalized, which allows us to grow with our customers and at the same time let our shareholders participate in RBI's success,” stated Strobl.
RBI: weekly performance: -0.39%
