EUR 547 million to EUR 950 million. The consistent streamlining of the credit and par-<br />
ticipations portfolios in recent years has clearly borne fruit. During 2004 as well, the<br />
credit portfolio continued to be purged of risk clusters and concentration risks, within<br />
reasonable legal and economic bounds. Our strategic realignment, increasing volumes<br />
of new business with our customers and cooperative market development with the<br />

We have continued in our strategic development of BayernLB as a wholesale bank that<br />
focuses on certain core regions and collaborates closely with the Bavarian savings<br />

namely DKB, SaarLB, MKB, LBLux and LBSwiss. These companies are entrusted with a<br />
considerable share of the Group’s retail activities. Building on our core competences,<br />
we aim to grow in our target markets: primarily Bavaria and its bordering regions.<br />
The credit portfolio is consistently oriented toward profit and risk aspects. We intend<br />
to make greater efforts to convey our brand values, namely Bavarian élan, confidence<br />
and proximity, to our customers.<br />
