Pekao Bank Fuels Billion-Zloty Investments in Polish Economy

Bank Pekao S.A. is actively financing major Polish corporate projects, including infrastructure and renewable energy, totaling over 350 billion złoty in the last decade.

Energy Transition and Infrastructure Projects

Bank Pekao participated in a consortium financing a 563 MW gas-steam block construction in Turku, valued at 2.2 billion złoty, crucial for national energy system stability. This included a 100 million złoty VAT financing credit and working capital financing, with Pekao acting as credit and security agent.

The bank also supports renewable energy development, financing two Baltic Sea wind farms (Equinor and Polenergia project) exceeding 6 billion euro and the Baltic Towers wind turbine factory with 140 million euro allocation. It also secured development of Polenergia’s onshore wind farms.

Corporate Debt Market Leader and Strategic Cooperation

In 2025, Bank Pekao led the organization of bond issuances on the Polish market, notably supporting ORLEN Group’s 2 billion złoty 7-year bond emission – the largest non-treasury bond issue in two years. Pekao acted as coordinator, organizer, dealer, and issuing agent.

The bank also supported KGHM Polska Miedź with a 1.6 billion złoty 7-year bond issuance, and organized emissions for EBI (1 billion złoty) and Toyota Leasing Polska (600 million złoty). A cooperation agreement with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) further strengthens Pekao’s position in BGK bond emissions.

Trade, E-commerce, and Modern Technologies

Bank Pekao provides substantial support to modern retail and digital infrastructure, exemplified by a 3.5 billion złoty senior loan agreement with Żabka Group for refinancing and working capital. The bank has allocated a total of 4.5 billion złoty to Żabka’s development.

In e-commerce, Pekao supported Allegro’s 1 billion złoty unsecured bond issuance, acting as a co-manager. The bank also financed Światłowód Inwestycje’s super-fast internet network construction (nearly 4 billion złoty) and organized a 700 million złoty green bond issuance for Play network.

Awards and 2026 Outlook

Bank Pekao S.A. concluded 2025 with strengthened corporate segment position, receiving nine prestigious awards from five industry institutions, including “Best Investment Bank in Poland and CEE”.

In February, Pekao, alongside PKO BP and BGK, provided up to 3.3 billion złoty in financing to Polish Airports (PPL) for Chopin Airport modernization and the Port Polska construction, potentially structured as a Sustainability-Linked Loan or Green Loan.
