“The beginning of the year is encouraging and shows that we are on the right track to reach our goals for 2024. Our focus stays on boosting volumes, reaching more clients, and securing new business across all segments, while simultaneously consolidating the companies within the Banca Transilvania Financial Group. We are thus growing the balance sheet and the footprint of the BT Group, through expanding our role in the Romanian banking sector and improving the financial access in the country. From a macroeconomic perspective, the rest of the year looks gradually challenging, due to the international uncertainty and the market volatility. Inflation is more resilient than hoped and the economic growth remains subdued. Nevertheless, we remain optimist and we are investing steadily in the expansion of our business”, states Ӧmer Tetik, CEO, Banca Transilvania.
