RBI investor day in London focuses on digitalization strategy

Vienna/London, 14 March 2019. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) held a presentation in London today for institutional investors and analysts. The participants took advantage of the opportunity to obtain first-hand information on the most recent developments at RBI.

RBI's digitalization strategy was a key focal point at this year's investor day. The strategy is based on five pillars, which include implementation of open systems architecture, promotion of agile cross-departmental working practices, furthering the utilization of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, upgrades of back- and front-end processes, and creation of an environment which welcomes innovation. "This enables us to provide a first-class customer experience, promote innovation and develop new business models", said CEO Johann Strobl, summarizing the extensive activities being undertaken by RBI in the process of becoming a bank of the future.

Following the report on strategic developments, CFO Martin Grüll elaborated on RBI's results in detail. Hannes Mösenbacher, CRO, highlighted the further marked decline in risk costs compared to the prior year, which made a significant contribution to the very strong results.

Finally, Andrii Stepanenko, the Management Board member responsible for retail banking since March 2018, presented the strategic measures being taken in this area and spoke about the significance of digitalization as well as growth targets.

There was the opportunity for additional questions from the attending equity and debt investors, equity research, credit research and ratings analysts in the discussion session that followed. RBI's management was subsequently available for bilateral discussions.
