"The good results of the third quarter have been supported by the favorable external environment and the rebounding regional economic growth. At the same time we also leveraged our strengths, the resilient integrated business model and our highly cost-efficient asset base and operation," chairman-CEO Zsolt Hernádi said, commenting on the report.
"At the same time soaring commodity prices and the implications of the coronavirus pandemic pose a significant risk to the economy and generate a very volatile operational environment," he added.
