Frankfurt (ots)
BRE Bank, majority owned by Germany's Commerzbank, recently received the prestigious President's Award as Poland's best financial institution. This was the fourth year the awards, referred to as Poland's "Economic Oscars", have been awarded. Poland's President Alexander Kwasniewski made the final selection.
The President's Economic Awards are conferred in seven categories, and distinguish those firms which contribute to Poland's economic development, as well as "...popularizing positive methods for achieving success in a free-market economy."
The award, which consists of a 25-kilogram granite trophy, was presented to BRE Bank chairman Wojciech Kostrzewa. He commented: "It takes many years of hard work to earn the honor of becoming a laureate. It therefore gives me great joy that BRE Bank is the first bank in the history of the President's Award."
The other President Awards were given for the best Polish company, the best small enterprise, best exporter, best agricultural enterprise, best foreign investor and companies recognized for having the best innovative product or technology.
