WARSAW: Treasury Minister Wlodzimierz Karpinski said that he is confident that Poland’s 2015 dividend earnings target could be met and that other companies need not pony up larger sums to compensate for any issues at PKO BP.
the Treasury as the main shareholder of Poland’s top bank PKO BP would not give up on receiving the dividend from bank profits, apparently in response to an earlier recommendation by Polish financial watchdog KNF that the payment should not be paid for now.
“We were surprised by the regulatory decision on not paying out the dividend,” Karpinski told reporters on Monday. “We are not giving up on a dividend from PKO BP.”
