In accordance with the relevant regulations of the Cyprus Stock Exchange and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, Cyprus Popular Bank Public Co Ltd wishes to inform investors that the results of the Group are expected to show a reduced Loss after Tax as compared to the corresponding results of 2011, due to the significantly lower impairment loss of Greek Government Bonds and the slightly lower expected impairment of goodwill and intangibles.
It is noted that the Group is expected to record increased provisions for impairment of advances and reduced operating income compared to 2011, as a result of the continued worsening of economic conditions, both in Greece and Cyprus.
