„The lending activity will resume. It won’t be a sudden process and there’s no specific date as to when it will start (…). It will be a gradual increase,” Isarescu told a news conference.

He said the growth process will not be similar for all lenders. „We can already see a differentiation between the banks,” Isarescu added.

The central bank’s chief noted the lending process will not put significant pressure on the inflation in 2010.

In 2009, Romanian private lending fell 3.6% in real terms to 199.8 billion lei (EUR1=RON4.1214).
