Lender's Q2 net profit seen at 270 million zlotys
GDANSK, July 25 (Reuters) - Poland's Bank Millennium MILP.WA is expected to post an 18% annual rise in its second-quarter net profit to 270 million zlotys ($74.73 million), a Reuters poll showed on Friday.
The expected profit rise comes on the back of gains from the sale of bad loans as well as lower legal provisions for the lender's Swiss franc mortgages.
The Polish arm of Portugal's Millennium bcp BCP.LS is expected to book around 509 million zlotys in legal provisions for its Swiss franc mortgages, according to the bank's own guidance, down from 575 million zlotys a year earlier.
These provisions cover the costs of ongoing legal battles and settlements related to Swiss franc-denominated loans, which have been a long-standing burden for several Polish banks.
