Stronger lending, slower deposit growth: a fresh signal from Romanian banking
Société Générale’s results, published on 29 October 2026, show its Romanian operations reached €11 billion in outstanding loans in the third quarter—up 11.3% year on year, with growth across both individual and business customers. GlobeNewswire

Deposits grew more slowly, increasing 2.1% to €14 billion, mainly supported by individual customers. Both growth rates are adjusted for currency movements and changes in the group’s business scope. GlobeNewswire

Revenue tells a more measured story: quarterly banking revenue in Romania rose 1.5% on the same adjusted basis to €189 million, with higher net interest income offsetting lower fee income. GlobeNewswire

The takeaway: faster lending growth does not automatically translate into equally strong revenue growth. For those following Romanian banking, these results put the balance between lending, deposits and earnings in focus.

The next question: will stronger lending translate into lasting investment and business expansion?

A smaller deficit is encouraging. The growing interest bill deserves attention, too.

Figures released on 26 October show Romania’s cash budget deficit reached RON 78.3 billion, or 3.81% of GDP, in January–September 2026. That compares with RON 102.47 billion and 5.31% of GDP in the same period of 2025.

Government revenue increased by 11.9%, outpacing expenditure growth of 5.5%. Public investment also rose, reaching RON 107.77 billion—so the improvement did not come alongside a fall in total investment spending.

But there is a counterweight: interest payments on public debt climbed to RON 50.63 billion, up RON 10.69 billion year on year.

The challenge now is to sustain the fiscal improvement while preserving investment that supports long-term growth.

🇷🇴 Romania’s financial markets start the week on a stronger note 📈
Here are the key financial developments from the past two days:
📊 Bucharest Stock Exchange rebounds: The BET index jumped around 2.5–3% at Monday’s open, with Cris-Tim, One United Properties and Transgaz among the strongest performers.
💳 Romania’s sovereign rating gets a vote of confidence: S&P reconfirmed Romania’s sovereign ratings at BBB-/A-3, helping improve market sentiment and pushing 10-year government bond yields lower.
🏦 Government bonds remain in focus: A new Tezaur issue launched today, offering annual tax-free interest of 6.50% for 1 year, 7% for 3 years and 7.50% for 5 years.
📉 But investors remain cautious: The latest Fidelis offering saw significantly weaker initial demand than September, reflecting continued uncertainty around Romanian bonds, the leu and the broader international bond market.
Bottom line: Romania’s markets are showing signs of renewed confidence, but investors are still watching fiscal policy, government borrowing costs and the country’s ability to maintain investment-grade status closely.
