MILAN: Italy's BPER Banca said it targeted a 450 million euro profit ($512 million) in 2021 by focusing on insurance and wealth management products to boost fees and offset weak growth in its interest income.
Net income at Italy's sixth-largest bank stood at 402 million euros last year. Under a new three-year plan, BPER said it would cut the weight of soured loans over total lending by more than 3 percentage points to below 9 percent in 2021.
BPER Banca targets an average dividend payout of around 25 percent over the plan's period, it added.
