		The Austrian Raiffeisen group, which purchased Romania's Banca Agricola (Agricultural Bank) in 2001, is now planning to participate into the privatisation of the Savings Bank (CEC), aiming to consolidate its position on the Romanian market.
		"Raiffeisen is prepared to fight Erste Bank for CEC, and the experience we gained after acquiring Banca Agricola will help us with this project," Herbert Stepic, RZB vice-president and president of Raiffeisen International (the entity controlling the group's subsidiaries in the region) told Ziarul Financiar.
		The Raiffeisen official is confident that the CEC privatisation will be completed before the sale of BCR (Romanian Commercial Bank), Romania's largest bank, considering the pressure being applied by the European Union.

		Well, banks in Romania are beginning to offer this second service through more advanced finance products so that, in order for rich clients to manage their wealth, they no longer need to jump on a jet plane and travel to Switzerland, Frankfurt or the British Virgin Islands.
		Private banking services in Romania are free, but abroad the clients may pay around one per cent of the initial invested amount or of the profit gained, according to Anca Craciun, deputy executive director for private banking in BCR.
		But one argument is that because of Romania's failure to fulfil its entry conditions confidently, such a vote on the country's future could have been seized by the European Parliament as a chance to wrestle more power for itself from member states and the European Commission.
