Total banking assets in CEE15* topped 1.07 trillion EUR in December 2014.
Despite recently observed convergence trends, there are still significant differences among CEE countries in terms of banking intermediation levels.
While banking assets per capita exceed EUR 21k in Slovenia, the benchmark is nearly 7 times lower for Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina or FYRO Macedonia.
The level of financial intermediation for most of CEE is still extremely low if compared to Western Europe and the gap is expected to narrow gradually. Nevertheless, factors like hostile fiscal policy (case Hungary),
economic rebalancing (case Slovenia) or poor supervision (case Bulgaria) may temporarily weigh on banking sectors in selected countries.
