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?
