Today, at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI), shareholders approved all resolutions proposed under the individual agenda items.

It was the first AGM to be presided over by Supervisory Board Chairman Erwin Hameseder, who sees the very good result for the 2017 financial year as confirmation that the right strategic decisions were taken in recent years: 'These critical steps played a key role in helping RBI to successfully emerge from a challenging transformation period with increased strength, for which I would like to especially thank the Management Board, my predecessor Walter Rothensteiner and former colleagues in the Supervisory Board, as well as the prior CEO of RBI Karl Sevelda. In the coming years, we will again focus on selective growth in specific markets which demonstrate stability and good economic prospects.'

Johann Strobl, CEO of RBI, also gave a positive summary at the AGM: 'We have significantly strengthened our capital position in recent years. Therefore we will pay out a dividend of € 0.62 per share for the 2017 financial year.' The payment will be made to shareholders with dividend entitlement on 2 July 2018.

The entrepreneur Andrea Gaal was newly elected to the Supervisory Board.
