Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account for financial year 2022 At its meeting on 2 March 2023, the General Council of the Bank of Greece approved the Bank’s audited Annual Accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.

The Bank’s profit before provisions in 2022 amounted to €589.4 million, from €649.6 million in the previous year, having decreased by €60.2 million. Net profit amounted to €456.8 million, following an increase in provisions by €132.6 million. 

The General Council of the Bank of Greece, in accordance with Article 71 of the Bank’s Statute, decided to propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders: the distribution of the statutory dividend to shareholders, in the amount of €0.6720 per share (unchanged from the previous year), totalling €13.3 million; an increase in the extraordinary reserve by €42.7 million; and the transfer of €400.7 million to the Government.

The Bank’s assets as at 31 December 2022 stood at €238.5 billion, up by €0.9 billion compared to the previous year. The total amount of accumulated provisions stood at €4,465.8 million, compared with €4,838.1 million in 2021.
