by News Editor

May 12, 2025

Berkshire Hathaway, renowned for its market resilience and disciplined leadership, remains a stalwart in the investing world. With 94-year-old CEO Warren Buffett stepping down, we’re witnessing the close of an impactful era.

Under Buffett’s direction since 1965, the company evolved from a textile manufacturer into a conglomerate valued at $1.2 trillion, with acquisitions spanning diverse sectors such as railroads, insurance, and more specialized industries. While marking impressive gains, there have been recent dips; for instance, a 14% drop in Q1 2025 earnings, attributed to insurance underwriting shortcomings.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
