Overall lending increased 60% year-on-year to around RON2 billion in 2013, EximBank’s president Traian Halalai said.
He said the total exposure of the bank rose 30% on the year to RON5 billion.
“This year we will be looking closely at supporting the companies active in the production field and they will be a highly important business target for us,” Halalai said. “We will continue, of course, to support the actual and potential exporters.”
Founded in 1992, export-import lender EximBank offers financing, bank guarantees and insurance products to Romanian companies, particularly SMEs and companies developing EU-funded projects.
The bank plans to expand its network to some 20 units by the end of 2014, from 16 in December 2013. (EUR1=RON4.5173)
