Ömer Tetik: „IT is growing to the size of a regional champion”


We started the year strong, both commercially – with an increase in the number of clients, financings, and transactions – and by promoting the bank and Romania even on international financial markets, from where we attracted a record amount for our country. All these help us continue to support the national economy and the population. The bank's increased activity is reflected both in economies of scale and better costs for clients, as well as in the fact that BT is growing to the size of a regional champion, which has the strength to support the country's economy and infrastructure. We look to the future with caution, considering internal and external uncertainties, but we still have an appetite for financing the economy and developing BT's business.
