Erste Group Bank AG on Friday reported that its net profit increased in the first quarter of 2022.

The Austrian bank said that its net profit rose 26% to 448.8 million euro ($471.2 million) in the period, from EUR355.1 million a year earlier, reflecting a strong operating result.

Operating profit increased 10% to EUR801 million, reflecting higher net interest income on the back of rate hikes in Czechia, Hungary and Romania and solid loan volume growth.
