However, after careful consideration I have reached the difficult decision to conclude with my professional life cycle in Eurobank and to remain in the position of the Chairman of the Board of Directors till the end of March 2019. In the meantime, I will continue to contribute actively in achieving the Bank’s objectives and the seamless succession planning process of my position. I came to the above decision, because I wish to use actively the reserved energy, experience and creativity I have and to pursue new professional challenges. In addition, I took into consideration the need the operational coherence and the continuity of the Bank’s Management to be preserved, at the next critical day for the sector and the economy. I am particularly pleased that I have reached this decision in a period during which the economy recovers and the financial ratios of our Bank are being improved, having successfully faced the crucial problems of the last three years. With collectiveness, planning, determination, consistency, capable and competent personnel, stronger and shielded against risks, the Bank proceeds with success on the way back to normality, with the confidence of the customers, the personnel, the shareholders and the markets.”
