COLUMBUS, Ohio -- July 26, 2005 -- Dr. George Mokrzan, senior economist for the Private Financial and Capital Markets Group at Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (Nasdaq: HBAN), will serve on the American Bankers Association Economic Advisory Committee (EAC) beginning in September. As one of 10 economists on the committee geographically distributed across the United States, Mokrzan will help the EAC provide guidance on national and regional banking and economic conditions. The committee meets with the Federal Reserve Governors and the President's Council of Economic Advisors twice per year and prepares a semi-annual economic forecast widely circulated to the general public and the banking community.

"I will be representing the banking industry and our part of the Midwest on macroeconomic policy and working with groups at the forefront of U.S. monetary and fiscal policy," said Mokrzan.

Mokrzan has developed economic analysis and forecasting for Huntington for over nine years. He performs macroeconomic analyses of the U.S. and world economies in support of Huntington's investment management business, which manages over $10 billion in financial assets.

"As a member of the investment management staff, George provides our team and our clients with a detailed understanding of the economy and its impact on our investment philosophy," said Randy Bateman, Huntington's chief investment officer. "We are extremely pleased with the recognition of George's excellent work and his growing reputation as a national class economist."

Mokrzan earned his doctorate in macroeconomics, international economics and econometrics from Duke University in 1990. He also earned a master's degree in economics from Duke University and a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Rochester.
