In February 2010 the issue of rights to L-series shares under public offering was effectively concluded. As a result of the issue, the Bank increased its own capital by more than 1 billion PLN, thus strengthening its solvency ratio, both for the Bank solo and the Group and soon began to implement the new business strategy for 2012-2014 called “Rebalancing the business model for profitability”.

Then, in 2015 the Bank updated strategy for years 2015-2017 with main goal to focus on profitability preservation, while keeping organic growth target.

Approaching the end horizon of previous 2015-17 Strategy and with most important targets delivered (like number of active customers, market share in retail customer funds and cost-to-income ratio), the Bank adopted main directions of the new strategy for the period 2018-2020. Favourable macroeconomic background as well as fast changing trends in the banking environment made the starting point to this strategy. Successful realization of 2020 strategy should bring Bank Millennium higher scale with strong growth, superior cost efficiency and top-of-industry shareholders’ return.

The unprecedented scale of change of the business environment caused by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020, combined with dynamic changes of customers’ behavioural patterns have dramatically increased the challenges that banks face, limited the visibility and increased uncertainty to an exceptional level. As a result, the BM Group decided to extend its 2018-20 strategy by another year and prepare a new one for the years 2022-2024.

In the 2022 - 2024 strategy (‘Strategy’) announced by the BM Group on December 6, 2021 (details here: 2022-24 Strategy_outlinelink opens in a new window and 2022-2024 Strategy_presentationlink opens in a new window), the BM Group concentrates on its response to growing post-pandemic expectations of customers and shareholders. By 2024, we aspire to reach PLN2 billion net profit (excluding costs related to FX mortgage loans portfolio) and ROE before such costs of around 14%. The improvement of efficiency ratios and business growth are to be driven by a continued increase of the number of active customers (to more than 3 million in 2024) as well as enhancements to cost-effective and scalable operational platform (cost-to-income ratio below 37% in 2024).
