Because of these, we were under no pressure to restructure at the start of the new millennium.
The question of why the APO-Bank was able to weather the structural and income problems suffered by the banking sector without suffering any ill effects can be answered by looking back at the wide-scale re-organisational measures undertaken in the 1990s. Thus the cost-income ratio could be reduced from 61.8 % in 2001 to 59.1 % in Although these values are already significantly lower than the average rates for all German banks, we nevertheless aim to achieve a further improvement in the cost-income ratio in the current Financial Year. Nevertheless, the Bank only effectively benefits from the rise in the net interest received because it has favourable cost-income ratios. In spite of the spectacular increase in new loans compared to earlier years, the quality of the credit portfolio remains of a high standard the importance of this factor should not be underestimated. This is clearly reflected in net interest received, although the interest margin has fallen over the last few years. Such high number of new customers results in a huge extension of lending. One major reason for our success is the fact that the Bank has been registering extremely high numbers of new clients for years. 7ħ Management Letter There is more than one answer to this. We are constantly asked why APO-Bank is able to resist the general structural and earnings problems in the lending sector and, not only that, but also improve its operating results at times when the financial position of members of the medical professions is under pressure. 1 position as the provider of financial services to the medical professions. As a result, we can look back at a wholly satisfactory development in the 2003 Financial Year that has contributed to the inherent stability of the bank and also helped to consolidate its no. Furthermore, considerable resources were again deployed to complete the Basel II project on time and implement the minimum requirements for the credit business of credit institutions (Mindestanforderungen an das Kreditgeschäft der Kreditinstitute (MaK)). Strategic projects were further pursued in addition to business policy decisions affecting assets and liabilities and include measures to reinforce sales but also measures to enhance the efficiency of internal processes. Expansion of the balance sheet total also followed a constant growth curve in the year 2003 and there was particular emphasis on preserving the balanced structure.
Further improvements were made in the income items of the profit and loss account while the rise in personnel and operating expenses remained within the budget limits.
