National Bank of Greece

National Bank of Greece posted after-tax profits of 983 million euros in the first nine months of the year, the lender announced on Thursday, recording a 15% increase year-on-year.

This is the result of the resilience of its net revenues from interest and the strong takings from commissions, the bank argued.

The country's bank bailout fund HFSF will start the process to sell a stake of up to 12% in National Bank of Greece early next week, two officials with knowledge of the matter have said.
