Raiffeisen Bank International AG on Friday posted higher profits for the first quarter, helped by lower impairments on financial assets.

The Austrian banking group's quarterly net profit rose 22% to 216 million euros ($260.6 million).

Operating income fell roughly 11% to EUR1.26 billion, as both net interest income and fees and commissions declined.

However, the bank reported lower expenses, which couple with a 49% decline in impairments on financial assets, supported the bottom line.

The bank expects return on equity to improve this year and targets an 11% ROE in the medium term. The provisioning ratio for this year is expected to be around 75 basis points.
