SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgarian authorities will take a decision on what to do with Corporate Commercial Bank (Corpbank) only after the results of an audit are known around mid-October, President Rosen Plevneliev said on Tuesday.
The fate of Bulgaria's fourth-largest lender has been in limbo as efforts to rescue the bank were scuttled by the outgoing parliament, dragging out the Balkan state's worst banking crisis since the 1990s. Authorities have estimated the cost of a possible state rescue at around 1.5-2.0 billion levs ($1.0-1.4 billion).
