The former president of the Budapest Stock Exchange, Attila Szalay-Berzeviczy, is to head Raiffeisen Bank International’s (RBI) group securities services business line.
The business line is responsible for servicing the largest domestic and international institutional clients in Austria and across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
Szalay-Berzeviczy, who has been acting as a senior advisor for RBI in the past year, will join the bank on 1 November 2014 and will be responsible for managing some 230 people within the group.
Klemens Breuer, RBI’s managing board member for markets and investment banking, said: “We regard our securities services as a strategic product and one of the key areas of the bank.”
“Our goal is to turn RBI into one of the leading securities services providers in CEE, therefore we regard the appointment of Szalay-Berzeviczy as an important step towards this direction.”
