The two nominations were confirmed at a shareholders’ meeting earlier today, BRD said in a stock exchange filling.
Giovanni Luca Soma serves as European director of International Retail Banking at Societe Generale Group, while economist Aurelian Dochia is currently a board member at BRD Finance IFN.
Also on Thursday, BRD’s shareholders approved the bank’s 2013 financial report as well as the revenue and expenditure budget for 2014.
BRD expects it will return to profit in 2014 after two consecutive years of losses, despite a projected decline in its net banking income.
Net loans are forecast to increase 4% year-on-year to 28.9 billion (EUR6.46 billion) in 2014, supported by a 11.8% growth in corporate loans. On the other hand, deposits are seen falling 3.6% to RON34.8 billion, on the backdrop of an estimated 13.3% decline in corporate deposits.
BRD plans to increase its client base to 2.33 million in 2014, from roughly 2.28 million at the end of 2013.
BRD is 60.17%-owned by Societe Generale, while Romania’s five regional investment funds SIFs own together 16.7% of its shares.
Wednesday, BRD’s shares closed up 0.06% at RON8.345 in Bucharest, valuing the bank at RON5.81 billion. (EUR1=RON4.4684)
