PZU Group’s strategy for the years 2016–2020, which was released on 24 August 2016, was followed by attempts to raise investments in the banking sector.
When the transaction is finalized, PZU will become the largest financial group in Central and Eastern Europe as the leader in insurance, banking, and asset management.
In 2015, PZU Group initiated the process by purchasing 25.19% of shares in the share capital of Alior Bank SA (Alior Bank). The next step saw Alior Bank acquire a part of Bank BPH, including its core operations (without its mortgage loans portfolio and Investment Trust Company).
While monitoring potential objectives fitting PZU Group’s strategy of building a large-scale and profitable bank group, PZU announced in December 2016 that it had signed an agreement with UniCredit for purchase of 20% of the shares of Bank Pekao S.A. (together with the PFR Polish Development Fund – 32.8%). When the transaction is finalized, PZU will become the largest financial group in Central and Eastern Europe as the leader in insurance, banking, and asset management.
