Banks in Romania expect to intensify lending in the coming period

The lending policies will ease in industry, IT, agriculture, telecom, healthcare and SME’s segment. On the other hand, the legal framework for insolvency and the way it is enforced are discouraging lending, as over 85 percent of respondent banks believe.
