Comment by Paavo Truu, Member of the Management Board and CFO of Coop Pank:

"Sice July, all Coop Pank customers can make contactless payments with their smartphones at all vendors – this innovation supports, among other things, the increase in the share of our active customers.

In July, we saw a general slowdown in Inflation and in the price growth of food and durable goods in Estonia. Although euribor remains high, households that have kept their jobs are doing well in managing their income and expenses. This is also reflected in our home loan and leasing portfolio, which showed solid growth in July. Business loans portfolio also grew strongly in July.

In addition to consumption and investments, both households and companies continue to have resources for deposits. The current good interest environment motivates to find the best return on money, and that is why a part of demand deposits is moving to term deposits, which also gives banks better opportunities for capital management in the long term.

The continued growth of our business volumes and keeping costs under control resulted in a net profit of 3.4 million euros in July. Coop Pank's return on equity in July was 23.5% and the cost-income ratio was 39%.”
