Up to now, we have assumed that ING will payout some minor dividend in 2021 (DY<2%), however it was rather symbolic. Leaving unallocated PLN 8.90 per share leaves hope for bigger future dividends.

  • Syndicated Loans CEE Conference
    Register before Friday 25th September 2015 Save €100 The 12th Annual Syndicated Loans CEE Conference 19th & 20th November 2015 | Vienna Marriott Hotel, Austria The landmark event for lenders and borrowers in Central and Eastern Europe Platinum Sponsor Lunch Sponsor Gold Sponsor Refreshment Sponsor Bronze Sponsor #CEELOANS15 www.euromoneyseminars.com/CEELoans Syndicated Loans 19th & 20th November 2015 CEE Conference Vienna Marriott Hotel, Austria Dear Colleague, It’s my pleasure to introduce the agenda for the 12th Annual Syndicated Loans CEE Conference. The CEE corporate loans market faces its most challenging time, as sanctions imposed on the Russian market have deeply dented deal volumes throughout the region. However, local liquidity remains very strong, with corporates across the region financing themselves from both local and international lenders. In Turkey, financial institutions and borrowers are finding innovative ways of financing their operations. Prominent players from both lenders and borrowers will gather in Vienna to discuss these issues and more. The agenda combines region-focused panels on Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia, with sector-focused sessions on Real Estate and Export Finance. Vienna stalwarts like Eric Zimny (SMBC), Penny Smith (Commerzbank) and Jan Nyvlt (CSOB) will participate alongside new speakers, such as Yuri Lekarev (Otkritie), George Aase (PointPark Properties) and Bülent Beydüz (Erdemir). An old Euromoney Seminars favourite, this conference offers unparalleled access to key industry figures – with Vienna’s Christmas market to frequent in the meantime! “ Great source Please let me know if you have any questions about the agenda, and if you have an interest in of information speaking at or sponsoring the event, I’m happy to help with your queries.

  • In Search of the Czech Future
    In search of the Czech Future Final Project Summary Acknowledgements The three-year In Search of the Czech Future project was comprised of a series of meetings between the authors of the studies, thematic discussion seminars with the participation of more than one-hundred experts, academics and government officials, campaigners, business and civic representatives, as well as discussions open to the general public. I thank all those who took part in these activities for devoting their time and experience. Special thanks goes to Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Prague, especially Director Eva van de Rakt, and to the Green European Foundation for the financial support and comprehensive assistance they provided. Thanks also to the independent analytical centre Glopolis and its Director, Petr Lebeda, for providing facilities and creative cooperation on the project. I’ve highly appreciated the valuable suggestions and comments by Jana Matesová. For inspiration and involvement in discussions I’d like to express my thanks also to Kateřina Bocianová and Vladimíra Dvořáková. I am grateful to Šádí Shanaáh, without whose constant support this project would never have been realised. Ondřej Liška, project head In search of the Czech Future 3 Contents I.
