Outlook<br />
No events which could have a material impact on the Bank’s<br />
assets, financial position and earnings occurred after the<br />
balance sheet date, nor were there any indications of such<br />
events arising.<br />
In the new financial year, the Bank’s earnings and business<br />
position will continue to feel the effect of persistently low<br />
interest rates along with rapidly changing framework conditions<br />
and regulatory challenges in the <strong>bank</strong>ing and investment<br />
fund sectors. However, the Bank is confident that it will be<br />
able to counteract these developments by offering high-quality<br />
advice and pursuing successful acquisition projects. We<br />
expect to post a satisfactory result this year.<br />
The IT systems introduced at the beginning of 2012 are now<br />
in use at all VP Bank Group <strong>bank</strong>ing locations, featuring up-todate<br />
technology which offers enhanced functionality. Staff in<br />
<strong>Luxembourg</strong> need a period of familiarisation and consolidation<br />
to acquaint themselves with this new IT infrast<strong>ru</strong>cture, which<br />
the Bank hopes will boost efficiency and quality.<br />
