Bank Activities in Romanian Cities. Territorial Study

Summary/Abstract: The opening of the Romanian financial market after 1990 induced a rapid development of the bank network. Together with the Romanian banks borne in the ‘90s, some of them detached from the National Bank, there are many others founded by foreign investors. Bank investments were mainly oriented to cities, especially those placed in developed regions (the capital and the counties from Banat and Transylvania). One exception is CEC, the only bank having a large network developed inclusively in the rural areas. At the national level there are two strategies for spatial development. Some banks were set up in the Capital and spread to the rest of the cities, others, founded in important urban settlements from Transylvania and the western region of Romania (Cluj¬-Napoca, Sibiu, Târgu Mureş, Arad etc), used Bucharest as a relocation nucleus.
