Isarescu reiterated the fact that RBS is one of the most solid banks in Romania, extremely efficient, with a high level of profitability and solvability.
 
UK group RBS put Romania’s operations on the list of assets it would sell, after it announced a restructuring program that would put under the administration of a special unit the assets that are not part of the ground operations.
 
RBS announced that the special unit will include about 20% of RBS’ total assets with a total value of GBP240 billion (EUR269.87 billion).
 
British newspaper “The Times” said Sunday the group will unroll a restructuring program and transfer banking retail divisions in Central and Eastern Europe into a bank of unperforming assets, followed by their sale.
 
RBS Group entered the Romanian market in 2007 by overtaking the local operations of Dutch Group ABN Amro.
