List of Banks in Romania

Background

The financial subprime global crisis of 2008 has hit Romanian banking system as hard as it did worldwide to the point of almost stopping the banking credit activities for few years.

The National Bank of Romania tightened the credit conditions and imposed strong banking regulations. After the peak of the crisis, the credit conditions become lax again, trying to re-launch the economic activity by credit, but the effects in the economy didn’t appear until the end of 2013. Our banking system exposure to the foreign capital banks (Greek or Austrian) and the political crisis in some European countries (Greece and Ukraine) didn’t help either and increased the banking risks. Although the fundamentals of the Romanian banking system were sound, it faced the crisis well but it couldn’t support the recovery of our economy.
