KBC Ancora has pledged its full support for the capital increase by KBC Group. The increase will enable KBC Group to accelerate the repayment of a substantial portion of the core capital instruments and make it one of the best capitalised European banks. KBC Ancora will not itself participate in this capital increase, and its participating interest in KBC Group will accordingly reduce to 19.7%.
