Comment by Raimondas Kvedaras, President of SEB Bank:

In the first quarter of 2010, condition of Lithuania’s economy improved only negligibly. Financial situation of households and businesses kept deteriorating due to rising unemployment and declining income, what demanded making more of specific provisions by the bank group.

Although the banking market and operating conditions remain difficult, during the first quarter of 2010 SEB Group Lithuania stabilised it’s income, we have reduced operating costs significantly and the pace of increasing provisions for loans has slowed down more than twice.

Further in 2010, business environment will gradually become friendlier but banking industry will not face an evident recovery. However, it is expected, that domestic demand will become more buoyant only in 2011 due to stronger export performance, and consequently credit market will not get livelier in 2010.
