Specifically, the lender held by Austria’s Erste Group, would like to give shareholders gross dividends of almost RON1.4 billion (about EUR280 million), representing both ordinary dividends of around RON1.3 billion and dividends from the AT1 instruments BCR issued in September 2022 and January 2025, recorded in other equity items (AT1).

The approval of the 2024 profit distribution will be discussed by BCR’s shareholders during a general meeting scheduled for the end of April.
