The EBRD is providing €30 million in new financing to Banca Transilvania, one of Romania’s top commercial lenders, to enable it to continue supporting local small and medium-sized enterprises. A third of this financing will be provided under the EBRD’s Romania SME Sustainable Energy Financing Facility (RoSEFF) and will be dedicated specifically to energy efficiency and small scale renewable energy projects, according to a press release.rnrnBanca Transilvania is one of the most important banks in Romania being majority owned by local investors. The EBRD is a shareholder in the bank with a 14.6 per cent stake. Banca Transilvania has a proven track record in financing small and medium enterprises. rnrn“Small and medium-sized businesses are crucial for the sustainable development of the Romanian real economy. The EBRD projects with Banca Transilvania will bring more financing to the SME sector, supporting its development at a time when access to finance remains limited. The EBRD financing will also enable local private businesses to implement projects that will reduce their energy intensity, strengthen their competitiveness and operational efficiency,” said Nick Tesseyman, EBRD Managing Director for Financial Institutions. rnrn“The two agreements signed today with the EBRD will allow us to continue the strategy of supporting and encouraging SMEs within a new sector, namely energy efficiency, but also in terms of their overall growth. We are pleased to continue the traditional cooperation with the EBRD, our significant shareholder and financing partner”- said Horia Ciorcila, Chairman of BT’s Board of Directors. rnrnTechnical cooperation for the energy efficiency loan is provided with the support of grant financing from the European Union. rnrnSince the beginning of its operations, the EBRD has invested about €6 billion in Romania, mobilising over €11 billion for the projects from other sources of financing.

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
