Erste Group Bank AG said its net interest income may exceed analyst expectations this year after its €7 billion ($8.3 billion) deal to enter the Polish market. The Austrian lender said in a statement Thursday that it sees NII exceeding €11 billion in 2026, compared to the €10.6 billion average estimate in a Bloomberg survey. That’s will help the bank absorb one-off costs from consolidating Banco Santander SA’s Polish businesses. Erste proposed a dividend payment of €0.75 per share on 2025 results, slightly missing analyst estimates and below the long-term payout target as the bank withheld shareholder payments in order to help fund the Polish deal. Good cost control and a revenue beat leaves the bank “well-placed” to absorb Santander Polska, analysts at KBW said in a note.

The deal is the biggest in the Austrian bank’s history, allowing it to enter the largest market in the east of the European Union and anchor its position as the region’s largest lender. “We are aware that integrating a bank of this size requires attention and resources, which is why we are approaching this process with the necessary focus,” Chief Executive Officer Peter Bosek said in a press release . Net fee and commission income in 2026 is forecast to be around €4 billion, largely in line with analyst expectations.

Indian refiners are keeping Russian oil purchases to a minimum after a US Supreme Court ruling at the end of last week threw into question a long-awaited trade deal that would cut tariffs in exchange for halting those imports. Processors have remained on the sidelines and are not booking cargoes as they seek clarity from the Indian government on the future of Russian crude buying, said people familiar with the matter, asking not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the situation. Purchases have already declined over recent months following sustained US pressure on the trade. The Supreme Court ruling to scrap President Donald Trump’s use of emergency powers to impose tariffs upended trade measures worldwide, potentially allowing India room for maneuver . Refiners are hopeful the decision will ease pressure to curb Russian imports, the people said. The US administration has since urged partner nations to honor agreements, including a pact with New Delhi to lower levies to 18% from 50% on Indian goods. Earlier this month, Trump said he would cut punitive tariffs on India in return for a deal to stop buying Russian oil. Prime Minister Narendra Modi confirmed the agreement without providing any details on crude imports. Indian authorities still haven’t publicly addressed Trump’s claim. India emerged as a major buyer of Russian oil following the invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, snapping up barrels that were heavily discounted after other importers shunned Moscow’s energy. At its peak, the South Asian nation was taking 2 million barrels a day. This month, Indian refiners are expected to import about 1.2 million barrels a day of Russian crude, the lowest level since November 2022, according to Kpler Ltd. The data analysis firm forecasts flows will decline even further in March to 800,000 to 1 million barrels a day. FGE NexantECA forecasts overall imports could drop by as much as 600,000 barrels a day in March and April. India’s recent pullback has left millions of R...

OpenAI said its ChatGPT AI service refused to assist an individual associated with Chinese law enforcement in planning an online campaign to discredit the Japanese prime minister. In its latest update on disrupting malicious uses of artificial intelligence, the San Francisco-based startup detailed requests by the user that included editing status reports on a wider net of covert influence operations against domestic and foreign adversaries. OpenAI interpreted the evidence it gathered as indicative of a “large-scale, resource-intensive and sustained” effort by Chinese law enforcement to suppress dissent. “I’m not familiar with what you mentioned and do not see any basis for this accusation,” Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular news conference on Thursday. The announcement comes on the heels of archrival Anthropic PBC ’s decision to loosen its hallmark commitment to AI guardrails, even as it resists pressure from the US Department of Defense about dropping such safeguards. OpenAI on Wednesday said it identified a series of misdeeds that included romance scams targeting Indonesians, a social media content farm linked to Russia and more accounts deemed likely to have originated in China seeking information from US officials. The plan targeting Sanae Takaichi , Japan’s first female prime minister, surfaced in mid-October, in the days leading up to her election when she criticized the state of human rights in Inner Mongolia, according to OpenAI. The user sought help in crafting a plan that would amplify negative comments about Takaichi, accuse her of far-right leanings and increase online pressure, the company said. The Japanese prime minister later elicited a rebuke from China over remarks about Taiwan, a self-governing island that China considers part of its territory. The ensuing diplomatic spat continues to weigh on tourism and trade between the two countries. Read more: Xi Faces Japan Dilemma After Takaichi Wins Historic Mandate
