I am pleased to see the stable and – most importantly – sustainably profitable performance, which is the best prospect for the future of this Bank and its Group,” said Primož Karpe, Chairman of NLB Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board also got familiar with the revised Non-Performing Loan Management Strategy in the NLB Group.
