Total banking assets in CEE15* jumped to EUR 1.28 trillion in December 2017, after adding over 10% within last year. Czech Republic and Poland were the most rapidly growing markets. Growing assets were boosted by the nominal asset increases and appreciating currencies.
By contrast to growing assets, the profitability of major CEE banks declined slightly with weighted ROA and ROE contracting to 1.13% and 9.8% respectively.
The leading banking groups in the region: Erste, KBC and UniCredit did not change, however, the consolidation processes continued with local players getting stronger and smaller foreign players seeking to exit. ------------------------------------------------------------------
