EGNATIA BANK announces the following: in relation to recent press publications concerning the decision of the Ministry of Development that the company entitled "Egnatia Anonymi Asfalistiki Etairia" is being under a purification process, has nothing to do with either EGNATIA BANK or any other company of EGNATIA ΒΑΝΚ Group. As EGNATIA BANK has previously stated, the use of the title "EGNATIA" in both company logos is strictly circumstantial and a case of simple synonymity. Hence the two companies are not related in any manner.
