MOSCOW, October 11 (RIA Novosti) -- Leading Russian commercial bank Promsvyazbank [RTS: PSB] said Wednesday its net profit in the first six months of 2006, calculated to International Accounting Standards (IAS), rose 80%, year-on-year, exceeding 1.1 billion rubles ($40 million).

The bank said its assets as of June 30 were at 128.8 billion rubles ($4.8 billion), up 15.5% since the start of the year, while the bank's equity rose 9.7% in the reporting period, to 12.8 billion rubles ($480 million).

Promsvyazbank said last Friday it has secured two loans totaling 12.8 million euros from Germany's Commerzbank AG.

A Promsvyazbank news release said Commerzbank has agreed to disburse a loan of 11.8 million euros, with a repayment term of eight years, and a 1 million euro loan, repayable within five and a half years, against guarantees by German export agency Hermes.

The larger loan will be used to pay for malt-house equipment, to be supplied under a contract between a Promsvyazbank client and Germany's Buhler GmbH, Braunschweig. The smaller loan will go to finance art printing equipment supplies, under a Promsvyazbank client's deal with Windmoller & Holscher KG, the release said.

Promsvyazbank, established in 1995, ranks among the country's top 30 banks by assets, standing at 130.8 billion rubles ($4.88 billion) as of July 1.
