Network bank for international corporates International Corporates and Special Finance Multinational Corporates For the past twelve years BA-CA has implemented its crossborder relationship management principle to meet the needs of multinational corporates. By utilising regional expertise and the local presence of our CEE banking subsidiaries, highly qualified staff with an international background and sophisticated market knowledge provide tailor-made network solutions for the most diverse requirements of large companies. The group relationship manager in Vienna is the single point of contact for all the customer’s needs. This strategy is highly valued by customers, as reflected in an independent customer survey: customers commended the bank’s quick and uncomplicated solutions for complex problems as well as the bank’s strong network. Our international A/CEE Desks are located in the major financial centres of Western Europe, America and Asia and provide internationally active companies both with contacts at BA-CA in Austria and CEE as well as support in the respective countries and assistance in all transactions with Central and Eastern Europe. In order to maintain our high quality standards, the department was restructured in 2005: to provide integrated relationship management our three customer service centres now deal with day-to-day business in Austria in addition to fulfilling their group relationship management function. Units in the federal provinces outside Vienna serve as points of contact for customers. In 2005, thanks to newly acquired customers and to growth rates in business in the CEE markets, we were again able to improve the results in business with multinational corporates throughout the Group. Trade Finance, Cash Management and Financial Institutions Bank Austria Creditanstalt’s Trade Finance division offers customers a selection of hedging and financing instruments as well as cash management products for their foreign trade activities. The product departments of the Trade Finance division benefit from the close cooperation with the Financial Institutions unit, which is responsible for meeting the needs of banks and foreign governments. Over the past years Bank Austria Creditanstalt has set up local trade finance units within all banking subsidiaries in CEE. While 64 International Corporates and Special Finance attending to the requirements of local customers, the specialists assigned to these units, together with BA-CA, also assist international corporate customers with their trade finance transactions and offer them cash management services. In the area of international export and trade finance, the positive development of important export markets of Austrian companies in 2005 led to stronger demand for financing services in countries such as Russia, Romania and Kazakhstan. Large-volume financing transactions were concluded above all for the steel industry and the infrastructure sector. We also succeeded in expanding our customer base in the area of commodities financing through our product expertise and the availability of our network in the traditional commodities markets in the CIS and in CEE. Accompanied by the local trade finance units of the BA-CA Group which are supported by the CEE Desk in Vienna, exporters in CEE countries are in the process of capturing international markets. For example, in 2005 Bank Austria Creditanstalt concluded major buyer financing transactions for exports from Slovenia and Slovakia to Russia, and from the Czech Republic to Ukraine. The trend towards large-volume transactions in documentary business and guarantees continued in 2005. This was for example reflected in an over 11% increase in turnover in letters of credit to more than € 3.5 bn. Turnover in foreign guarantees jumped by 22 % to about € 2.8 bn. The development of the bank’s documentary business indicates that China is becoming one of Austria’s most important trading partners. As a traditional gateway for companies expanding into new markets, the International Cash Management unit once again recorded a sharp rise in the number of cash management requests from Austrian and foreign customers in 2005. In response to customer needs, BA-CA expanded the functions and regional availability of its cash management services: taking into account the respective legal requirements, BA-CA now offers local and international cash management services across its CEE network. In this context the experts in Vienna coordinate the requests covering a number of countries.
“Our competitive strength lies in the combination of regional network and integrated product competence. Our customers are active in many countries and demand services from a single source. With our Integrated Corporate Finance strategy we offer comprehensive and innovative solutions for every stage in a company's development, from establishment to expansion and M&A. Medium-sized businesses from Austria and from CEE also increasingly use the entire range of products, which was originally available to companies which can tap capital markets.” In addition, Bank Austria Creditanstalt is participating in initiatives to create a pan-European payments system. It is represented in committees of the Euro Banking Association and is active in a number of direct bank cooperation projects. The main task of the Financial Institutions unit is the maintenance, cultivation and expansion of the bank’s worldwide network of about 3,500 correspondent banks. These are both important customers involved in direct bank-to-bank business and partners who assist BA-CA in providing professional and comprehensive corporate customer services. In interbank business, the unit especially succeeded in substantially increasing lending volume. In this context the low risk level had a positive impact on earnings. We support the export-oriented corporate customers of our Group through the careful evaluation of risk, by providing advisory services, and by affording protection against bank and sovereign risks. Corporate Finance and Public Sector As in previous years, BA-CA maintained its leading position in the field of structured finance and corporate lending.

The number of deals enabled us to surpass our 2004 result by 190 %. 2005 saw growing demand for acquisition finance in CEE. BA-CA was successful in structuring and placing a number of transactions of this nature for international investors. In line with market conditions the focus was on the mid-cap segment. Our leading position and expertise in structured transactions in CEE was rewarded with numerous awards, several for the second or third time: Euromoney elected us “Best Project Finance House in CEE” and “Best Loan House in CEE”, Global Finance named us “Best Project Finance Bank in CEE” and Finance New Europe awarded us the title “Best Project Finance House”. In view of the growing number of structured finance transactions and project and corporate lending transactions in Austria, we consolidated our leading position in this field. A focus was on project finance in the area of “renewable energy” and on the financing of M&A transactions.
