KBC Acquires Majority Stake in Absolut Bank
A deal between Belgian bank KBC Group NV and Russian bank Absolut was made in which the Belgian bank and hedge fund investor acquired 92.5% of shares in the Russian bank.

KBC Group Chief Executive Andre Bergen said in a statement, "KBC's long-term strategic plans entail further expansion in the markets of emerging Europe. Russia is therefore an extension of our existing presence in neighboring Central and Eastern Europe."

KBC's corporate history shows the successful expansion into the emerging countries of Central and Eastern Europe which have joined the European Union in 2004, such as Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
