On 8 November the
major Czech bank ČSOB (Československá obchodní banka, a. s.), which is 100%
owned by KBC Bank in Belgium, published consolidated, unaudited results for the
third quarter of 2012.  Below are some
selected highlights. (All amounts are in millions of Czech koruny; 1 EUR =
25.4309 CZK at time of writing.)
| 
Income Statement | |
| 
Profit for the first
  9 months of 2012 - reported (zisk za účetní období - vykázaný):* | 
11,522, up from 9,008 in 2012 | 
*The company made headlines by pointing out that this amounts to an
increase of 29% y-o-y, but the company itself explained
that this increase is due to 2011 having been a rather poor year: “The high
growth of the net profit is a result of a low reference base in 9M 2011 which
was impacted by Greek bond exposure impairment.”
