Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 9 / Trend N. Ismayilova /
Latvian Parex Bank is preserving its old strategy and expanding its range of products in the CIS, Senior Deputy President Robert Idelson said.
"The strategy remained the same. The CIS market is always important for us. The only changes in this direction apply to our range of products. Now it is more expansive," Idelson said.
He added that besides classic services to which clients are accustomed, the bank now renders such services as investment portfolio governance and financial consultations.
"We also continue to actively work with clients from the post-Soviet sphere. Our strategy has not changed," Idelson said.
He added that private individuals with their own capital are mainly the bank's clients in the CIS. They invest in deposits and securities using an accumulative plan. These individuals usually have their own businesses. The funds of these business are transferred through the bank where they serve as personal savings.
