Total banking assets in CEE15* jumped to EUR 1.33 trillion in December 2018, after adding over 3.7% within last year. Markets in the Southern part of the region including Serbia, Bosnia and Bulgaria have been growing most rapidly. In a few big markets, e.g. in Poland the nominal growth in assets has been partially offset by depreciating currency.
The profitability of major CEE banks improved slightly with weighted ROA and ROE improving to 1.16% and 10.4% 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 smome foreign players reducing their presence in the region, e.g. Societe Generale or Raiffeisen. ------------------------------------------------------------------ *CEE15 include: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and North Macedonia.
