Erste Group delivered a resilient performance in 2025 with a net result of EUR 3.125 billion, driven heavily by strong momentum in CEE markets. While net interest margins tightened slightly to 2.41%, the bank’s expansion in asset management and securities remains a key tailwind. As management noted, "growth was achieved across all core markets," showcasing the bank's ability to navigate a shifting rate environment. A solid report that highlights why this is still a core play in the CEE banking sector. #erstegroup #cee
