Total banking assets in Romania increased by 4.4% YoY to a record of RON 394 billion as of December 2016. Client deposits at banks recorded strong 12% YoY growth to nearly RON 333 billion with government and household deposits increasing most quickly. By contrast, outstanding client loans increased only by a fraction in 2016 and reached RON 231 billion. This was a consequence of a continued contraction in corporate lending and a still slow growth in retail loans. One of the most encouraging trends has been the falling ratio of non-performing loans which has halved since 2014. Banking sector in Romania has also made a significant progress in reducing currency risk as the share of outstanding loans denominated in foreign currency has fallen substantially, in particular in case of corporate and mortgage loans.
