The public offer expected this year for 50% of the shares in the largest Polish insurer, PZU (60 % of the local insurance market), 30% held by the European insurance group EUREKO, will be postponed to March 2002. Thanks to this operation, the POLISH TREASURY should earn between EUR 1.4 and 2.3 billion. In April, the POLISH TREASURY authorised EUREKO to acquire, in the framework of this offer, an additional 21% of PZU.
