List of Top 200 banks in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE15), edition 2021

## List of Top 200 banks in Central and Eastern Europe /2021 edition/

Total banking assets in CEE15* exceeded EUR 1.5 trillion in December 2020, after adding over 8% last year. Multiple banking markets in the region recorded double digit growth rates, and in a few countries, including Lithuania and Estonia the growth rate exceeded 20%.
However, the growth came at the price of profits. Profitability ratios for top CEE banks plunged in 2020 with ROA and ROE falling to 0.53% and 5.0% respectively.
The top banking groups in the region did not change and Erste, KBC and UniCredit remaind top banking groups. Nevertheless, the consolidation processes continued with regional players getting stronger, in particular OTP, which continued to consolidate more assets in the southern part of the region.
