Romania placed third in a ranking of Central and Eastern European countries with the best prospects for the development of the retail crediting market. The first two spots were occupied by Russia and Serbia. The study was carried out by UniCredito bank and quoted by Reuters. The Italian bank estimates that credits granted in Romania in the retail sector will increase by 38 percent annually, over the next three years.
