Eurobank Ergasias Services and Holdings S.A. is a leading banking institution in Greece, with operations extending into Cyprus and Bulgaria, offering a wide range of financial services including retail, corporate banking, and asset management.

Eurobank has reported strong financial results for the first nine months of 2024, highlighted by a significant increase in net profit and robust growth in key financial metrics. The consolidation of Cyprus’ Hellenic Bank has considerably expanded Eurobank’s balance sheet, marking a transformative phase for the company.
Key financial highlights include an adjusted net profit of €1,145 million, with €498 million derived from regional operations. The bank’s net interest income rose by 14.3% year-over-year, primarily due to increased loans and international business activities.

Meanwhile, the bank maintained strong capital adequacy ratios, with a total capital adequacy ratio of 20.9% and a CET1 ratio of 17.8%.
Eurobank’s strategic focus on geographic diversification and investment-led growth is evident in its increased lending activities and asset management growth in Greece. The successful integration of Hellenic Bank is expected to yield further synergies, leveraging Eurobank’s expertise to capitalize on growth opportunities in Cyprus.
Looking forward, Eurobank is well-positioned to continue its sustainable growth trajectory, driven by strategic initiatives and a favorable economic environment in its core markets.
