The expenses of the PJSC «BTA BANK» in the first half of 2017 amounted to UAH 172 mln. which is in 30% higher than the cost of the Institution for the same period of previous year and is due mainly to significant expenses from revaluation of investment properties.

Operating profitability indicators remain low, which is caused by limited quality of the loan portfolio and increased market factors. The financial result of PJSC «BTA BANK» in the first half of this year was negative (UAH -8 mln.).

The bank ratings are supported by high ratios of capitalization, diversified revenue sources, as well as diversification of the resource base by creditors, currencies and components.

The quality of the loan portfolio and corporate securities is limited increasing the Bank’s sensitivity to credit risk.
