Analysts didn’t give information on the countries with higher ratings than Romania.
The most important aspect in the rating is the (banking) market structure element of the limits of potential returns, and the country’s rating for this element, 58.8 points, is about the same as the overall CBBER but higher than the country structure element of the limits of potential returns, 50 points.
Research and Markets analysts expect relatively strong growth in total assets and client loans during the 2007-2012 forecast period.
Research and Markets added Romania to the list of countries for which it issues its Commercial Banking Report in the first quarter of 2008.
The overall commercial banking business environment rating for the eurozone is 81.4 points, while for the United States of America, it was calculated at 84.8 points.
