Eurobank Shaping the New Banking Landscape in Cyprus

Eurobank is playing a central role in shaping the new banking landscape in Cyprus, as highlighted at the 13th Banking, Payments & Fintech Forum and Expo. The creation of Eurobank, through the acquisition of Hellenic Bank by Eurobank Cyprus, represents the largest investment in Cyprus, amounting to €1.3 billion, confirming confidence in the country and creating a strong financial institution. The bank's management emphasizes the smooth integration of operations and the quality of customer service. Simultaneously, the trend of banking system consolidation, in line with ECB guidelines, and the need for a stable regulatory framework to attract investment are recognized. Eurobank aims to strengthen financing in key sectors of the economy and expand into international markets, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and India. Finally, the importance of risk management in the digital age, especially in relation to Artificial Intelligence, is underscored.
