Patria Bank (BVB: PBK) closed the first quarter of 2026 with a net profit of RON 11.3 million, up 12% compared to the same period of the previous year. The result reflects “the consolidation of commercial activity, improved operational efficiency, and the maintenance of prudent risk management discipline in a macroeconomic and sector environment characterized by high volatility and persistently elevated financing costs,” the bank said. The positive performance was supported by the increase in net banking income, the optimization of the funding structure, and the balanced growth of the performing loan portfolio.
