Romanian Banks Need $887 Million More Provisions, ZF Says

By Andra Timu - 2012-12-20T07:13:23Z

Romanian banks will be obliged to make provisions of about 3 billion lei ($887 million) next year to cover a difference from the re-evaluation of assets pledged as collateral for loans, Ziarul Financiar said.

The increase in provisions will probably prompt some banks to boost their capital, the Bucharest-based newspaper reported, citing unidentified people from the banking industry.
