Central European corporate finance 2026 – mid‑year

Overview

In late July 2026 Croatia’s Končar Group secured a €320 million project loan from the EBRD, IFC and local banks, adding €50 million of its own capital to fund a €370 million investment programme aimed at expanding and modernising electro‑energy production, developing new technologies and increasing output. The company reported a record first‑half net profit of €171.4 million (up 32.6 % YoY), consolidated revenues of €766.6 million (up 14.6 %) and export sales of €516.5 million, representing 71 % of total sales. New orders exceeded €1 billion and the order book grew to more than €2.9 billion, underscoring Končar’s role in Europe’s energy transition. Czech banks posted a strong first‑half 2026, with six of the largest institutions generating a combined net profit of 48 billion CZK, a 5 % year‑on‑year rise. Česká spořitelna led the sector with an 11.7 % jump to 14.3 billion CZK, while Moneta Money Bank and UniCredit Bank in the Czech Republic and Slovakia posted 8.1 % and 8.8 % gains respectively. CSOB confirmed a 7 % profit increase to 10.2 billion CZK, a 9 % rise in total loan volume to 1 113 billion CZK and a 44 % surge in new mortgage loans. Komerční banka and Raiffeisenbank recorded modest declines, and Slovakia’s VÚB banka added a 9 % profit rise to €167.4 million. Erste Group’s net profit rose 18.6 % to €1.975 billion, supported by higher interest margins and a 21.8 % increase in loan volume across its CEE footprint. Residential developer Central Group posted a 169 % jump in net profit to CZK 1.7 billion and more than doubled turnover to CZK 2.25 billion, after selling a record 1,200 new apartments in 2025.
