## List of Top 200 banks in Central and Eastern Europe /2019 edition/

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.
