GDANSK, April 30 (Reuters) - Commerzbank's CBKG.DE Polish unit mBank MBK.WA on Wednesday posted a 169% rise in first-quarter profit supported by lower costs from legal risks related to foreign currency loans.
Net profit was 705.7 million zlotys ($188.06 million) in the quarter, compared with 262.5 million zlotys a year ago. That exceeded analysts' average forecast for a profit of 622 million zlotys.
