Athens-based and ATHEX-listed Eurobank on Tuesday announced a H1 2021 net profit of 190 million euros, dramatically improving results from the corresponding period in 2020, when it reported losses of 1.16 billion euros.

In a statement, Eurobank CEO Fokion Karavias said “profitability is in line with our expectations, the NPE (non-performing exposures) ratio is reaching single-digit, close to 8 percent by year-end.
Meanwhile, Eurobank’s net fee and commission revenues grew 16 percent, yoy, reaching 209 million euros.
