Greece's fourth-largest lender Alpha Bank posted a loss for the first quarter, broadly in line with analysts' estimates, as provisions for bad loans offset a rise in net interest income.

Yiannis Kostopoulos, whose family controls Alpha Bank and has been serving in various positions in it for more than 40 years has resigned and replaced by Vasilis Rapanos as the bank's NED.

Τέλος εποχής με αλλαγή φρουράς  στην Alpha Bank,  καθώς ο πρόεδρος της τράπεζας Γιάννης Κωστόπουλος πρόκειται να παραιτηθεί, σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, από τη θέση του.
