IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, approved a €35 million loan to Garanti Bank Romania to help finance the country’s small and medium businesses, with €20 million for on-lending to companies owned or managed by women.

This is IFC’s second loan to Garanti specifically designed to support women entrepreneurs in Romania. In 2012, IFC provided a €22.5 million loan to Garanti to back more than 160 small and medium companies in the textile industry, trade, construction, tourism, and services.

“Garanti Bank has been supporting entrepreneurs, with a focus on women-led small and medium-sized enterprises, for the past four years,” said Ufuk Tandogan, CEO Garanti Bank Romania. “By providing loans to this sector we want to help them develop, increase competitiveness and overcome obstacles they are facing in the current challenging economic environment.”

Romania is home to more than 400,000 women entrepreneurs, representing 36 percent of shareholders and associates in local firms. Garanti Bank has a portfolio of 25,000 smaller business clients in Romania.

“Strengthening women’s participation in the Romanian private sector empowers women and harnesses untapped potential for advancing development,” said K. Aftab Ahmed, IFC Director for Financial Institutions and Private Equity Group. “Our partnership with Garanti Bank Romania ensures that smaller companies and women entrepreneurs will continue to have access to funds needed for their growth.”

Romania became an IFC member in 1990, and IFC has invested a total of $2.2 billion in the country since then. IFC’s financial markets strategy in Central and Southern Europe is to partner with systemic banks in order to sustain economic growth and job creation. IFC has invested across a variety of sectors and works to provide access to finance for smaller businesses and support women entrepreneurs across the region.

seriozitate

Iata cum se rezolva cazurile de abuz ale bancilor intr-un stat serios, unde autoritatitile de supraveghere si reglementare chiar isi fac datoria http://www.manager.ro/articole/financiar-bancar/bank-of-america-va-plati-amenzi-si-despagubiri-de-783-milioane-dolari-66977.html

serios?!

hai sa pomenim ca BCR a cerut amanarea pentru a "negocia" iar tot felul de oferte care NU repara nimic din prejudiciul cauzat de clauzele abuzive din contracte...BCR vine si zice cica o sa platesti 100 EUR mai putin acum si te iert de comisionul de administrare...iar cand ii intrebi : da' banii inapoi ii dati ? se face ca ploua ... Evident raspunsul legal si moral la aceste "oferte" este NU, lucru care s-a si intamplat. BCR stie ca va pierde acest proces! Culmea este ca si clientii stiu acelasi lucru!

Iluzie

Aceasta doamna vinde iluzii,va asigur.Oferta BCR a fost o tentativa de intimidare.In cazul meu,BCR ma informa ca in dosarul xxx,instanta a validat clauza referitoare la dobanda dar banca,din bunatate,imi face o oferta.Instanta in dosarul xxx nu a validat clauza deoarece nu a intrat pe fond (nu avea ce sa judece) a fost respinsa cererea pentru ca nu facusem convocarea la conciliere. am mers in procesul colectiv s-a facut convocarea dar banca nu a venit.Acum urla ca vrea negociere individuala.

Bataie de joc din partea bcr!!

aproape 4 ani de cand a debutat actiunea de ce n-a negociat bcr?pana la aceasta,clientii au batatorit drumul la banca si au depus notificari peste notificari,raspunsurile fiind bataie de joc,bcr ce-a facut?a ras in nas,continuand sa fure!madam sova a incercat sa convinga instanta ca obligatia unui producator de medicamente e sa scrie clar si citet continutul pe ambalaj si nu raspunde de continut si calitate?!wtf?DRV e o inventie etern crescatoare,comisioane abuzive calculate la valoarea initiala,acte aditionale refuzate in scris de catre clienti care se aplica,dupa vointa bancii etc etc...multe prostii a debitat dna!a indus in eroare si cu privire la sentintele citate!adevarul e ca instanta a dat castig de cauza clientilor in prea multe procese,individuale sau colective asa ca frica de pierde procese pt care a fost platita imparateste e mare!

Nutu Camataru

Ce mai putem spune? Totul este dovedit ca HOTIE marca BCR!

Citeste aici comentarii argumentate. Plateste bine NNDKP sa-si spele imaginea in fata bancherilor de pe acest site? Ce sa mai o intoarcem, hotie, faliment al consumatorilor, inselaciune cu clauze abuzive, camatarie, amenintare. Asta este banking-ul in Romania. Din pacate bancile corecte sunt murdarite de cateva banci imputite din Clubul Lombard care au importat business-ul in Romania, dar nu poti sa-i legi pentru ca au interpuse bancile locale (a se vedea cazul Erste - BCR).

sova se face de ras mai degraba

Batranica sova, "baba sova" cum o alint eu, mai degraba se face de ras in instante, pe motive de decrepitudine(ramolire, mai exact), in incercarea disperata de a apara cel mai abject camatar din romania, pe numele de BCR, folosit in terorismul contractual practicat cu proprii clienti, patentand si perfectand astfel canibalismul bancar. Ce banca cu putin discernamant la nivel de actionariat si/sau conducere, ar proceda aidoma BCR, terorizandu-si clientii, ajungand la un nivel al creditelor neperformante de aproximativ 30%, ca mai apoi sa bage sume fabuloase in izmenele apretate ale unei batranici-avocat, ca sa-i spele imaginea astfel compromisa?!...

Intrebare cu variante de raspuns: Ce credeti ca ar putea iesi din budigaile selecte ale babei care apara BCR de propria-i duhoare, in momentele sale de maxima incordare la bara: A. Un filon maroniu. B. O sparcaiala bej. C. O duhoare fetida. Varianta de raspuns aleasa va va oferi imaginea BCRului rezultata in urma beneficierii de "apararea babii"!

Gg Contract

Contract sau...

Deci după ce semnez un contract în calitate de client, dau banca în judecata ca să nu mai plătesc ceea ce m-am angajat sa plătesc. Îmi cumpăr un apartament cu credit variabil de la banca și pt ca dobânda se duce în sus lăsându-mă în faliment, îmi împrumut alți bani (poate de la banca) ca să ii dau în judecată. Incredibil!

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
