Profit of Estonian banks up sharply last year
Aggregate profit of Estonian banks almost doubled last year to EEK 2.5 billion (160 million euros). Analysts say that such rapid growth in profit was caused by higher efficiency and lack of competition.
Another reason for rapid profit growth is ongoing housing loan boom.
The banks issued EEK 92 billion in new loans last year, up by a third. Private loans went up by 50 percent to EEK 28billion.
