Translation from Ukrainian original Management report of JSC "PrivatBank" The nature of the business Joint Stock Company Commercial Bank PrivatBank (“PJSC PrivatBank” or “the Bank”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) is a universal bank with a focus on the retail segment and selective presence in the corporate segment. The Group carries out its activities in accordance with the license of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) since March 1992. As at 31 December 2019, the Group has 30 departments and 1898 operating branches in Ukraine and the Cyprus branch.

As a result of 2019, economic activity remained at a rather high level - GDP growth is estimated at 3.3%, which is almost the same as in 2018. At the same time, the drivers of this growth have changed. Thus, the growth of the aggregate index of production of goods and services by major economic activities decelerated substantially - to 1.6% in total for 2019, and in the last months of the year it even has declined.
