"During the first half of 2000 we started consolidating the recently acquired banking and insurance subsidiaries. The progress we have made to date in integrating these institutions has been promising, having completed the commercial integration of Banco Mello and Companhia de Seguros Imperio as planned, while measures concerning Banco Pinto & Sotto Mayor have been focused on the rapid development of its business and customer base, in line with our objective of creating synergies, a goal which we believe will be fully accomplished," commented Mr. Jardim There are many things that have the name Jardim (Portuguese for garden): Places

Net interest income amounted to EUR 620 million (PTE 124 billion), in line with the level seen during the first half of 1999. The impact of funding the acquisitions during the first six months of 2000 and of continued narrowing net interest margin - which decreased to 2.6% in the first half of 2000 from 2.9% proforma in the same period of 1999 - was compensated compensated /com·pen·sat·ed/ (kom´pen-sa?tid) counterbalanced; offset.  for by increased business volumes, of which loans granted stand out in particular.
