WARSAW, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Polish lender Bank Zachodni WBK reported a 19 percent jump in fourth-quarter net profit on Wednesday, underpinned by improvements in its core segments’ results on the back of an accelerating economy.
The third-largest Polish bank by assets, a unit of Spain’s Banco Santander , said its net profit rose to 549 million zlotys ($164.38 million), while analysts had expected the bottom line to come in at 537 million zlotys.
