Deleveraging abating in emerging Europe amid regulatory and structural shifts
May 2, 2013--The second wave of funding reductions by western banks vis-à-vis Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe (CESEE) that started in mid-2011 is petering out.
However, funding reductions have not stopped in all countries of the region and remain significant in Hungary and Slovenia, according to the latest Deleveraging Monitor from the Vienna 2 Initiative Steering Committee.[1]
The report also noted that:
Current ample global liquidity has not yet led to a return of cross-border lending to CESEE, reflecting the still significant balance sheet pressures of parent banks and subsidiaries alike as well as the continuing trend to rebalance the funding of CESEE subsidiaries toward local sources.
Private sector credit remains generally anemic in the region as a result.
The second round of the Vienna 2 Initiative's bank lending survey suggests that weak credit reflects both restrictive demand and supply factors. Among the latter, banks emphasize high non-performing loans over funding constraints as the key factor behind weak credit. At the same time, the results confirm that the drive to lower loan-to-deposit ratios and to rebalance CESEE subsidiaries’ funding sources continues.
