In 2013, the lender reported overall revenue of RON218.1 million.
The bank’s expenses are forecasted to increase 2% this year, to RON153.6 million, from RON150 million a year earlier.
In 2014, Banca Carpatica plans to invest RON11.4 million.
In March, Romania’s central bank suspended the voting rights of two large shareholders in Banca Comerciala Carpatica, Ilie Carabulea, who owns a 41.2% stake, and of Corneliu Tanase, with a 11.21% stake in the bank.
Carabulea was recently placed under house arrest for suspicion of bribery and influence peddling in connection to a case regarding the insurance company Carpatica Asig, part of the Carpatica banking and financial group.
Tanase’s voting rights were suspended for having acted together with Carabulea, thus no longer fulfilling “the quality requirements regarding the reputational criterion of a shareholder of a credit institution,” Banca Carpatica said.
On April 10, shareholders approved the managers’ proposal to analyze the opportunity of a merger with another lender and rejected the request of Carabulea and Tanase to vote on replacing Banca Carpatica’s executive management.
