Key Initiatives

New strategy for 2025-2027

We have announced the … the only way is up! Strategy for 2025-2027. The Strategy is based on three pillars: Growth, Accessibility and Efficiency. The key objectives include achieving an ROE greater than 18%, a C/I ratio lower than 35%, a cost of risk in the range of 65-75 bps and maintaining a dividend payout policy of 50-75% of profit.

Strong capital position and financial stability

We have maintained a strong capital position thanks to effective capital management and the use of modern financial instruments. Once again, we were among the most resilient institutions in Europe in the EBA’s stress tests, confirming our financial stability.

Green bond issuance

We issued EUR 500 million worth of green Eurobonds, strengthening our position on the international capital market. We used the funds raised to ESG-compliant projects, including blue initiatives supporting environmental sustainability.

Continuation of work on the reorganization of the PZU Group and Pekao

We signed an annex to the Term Sheet with PZU, which extended the deadline for completing the PZU Group’s reorganization until December 2027 in order to adapt the schedule to the legislative process. The reorganization aims to simplify the group’s structure, increase efficiency and integrate key business areas. We cooperated with PZU, focusing on achieving strategic goals and ensuring benefits for clients and shareholders.
