(Reuters) -Poland's biggest bank PKO BP (LON:BP)'s acting Chief Executive Pawel Gruza will step down from his role on April 12, the bank said on Thursday.

The move marks the fourth departure at the top of PKO BP since May 2021, when Zbigniew Jagiello surprised the market by resigning as chief executive after 12 years at the helm.

Since his departure, PKO BP has already had three CEOS: Jan Emeryk Rosciszewski, followed by Iwona Duda and then acting chief Gruza.
