HypoVereinsbank, one of the largest banks in Germany and member of the UniCredit group, plans to move some of its activities to Poland, where 250 jobs will be created. As of May 2008, there is no information on when the new jobs will be created by. The relocation of production to Poland is due to lower labour costs prevailing in this country; according to HypoVereinsbank's estimates, the annual cost of retaining a Polish employee is EUR 25,000, whereas the cost of her/his German counterpart is 70% more.
