Bucharest In Your Pocket - National Bank (Banca Natională a României)
The unmistakably neoclassical exterior of the National Bank of Romania (BNR). stands on the site of one of the most famous buildings in Romania: the Hanul Serban Voda, which from 1678 until 1883 was the home of various things, from a pub, to an inn to a dormitory for a nearby girl's school. After two fires gutted the building, however, the land was levelled and in 1883 work began on the BNR, completed to the designs of French architects Cassien Bernard and Albert Galleron in 1885. Built in a French, Neo-Classical style, the building boasts a facade with Corinthian columns, and an enormous central banking hall. The passing of time has seen the building become rather hemmed in, but it remains a classic worthy of admiration.

New Banking Vision 2016 - Romania
New Banking Vision is the place to learn compelling digital banking stories – about experience, implementation and vision for the future.
One of today’s biggest regional banking conferences was organized for the first time 13 years ago. The 6 conferences organized so far were a great opportunity for our participants to learn about the latest trends in the banking industry, however New Banking Vision has also become an important meeting point for the exchange of knowledge and experience. Each new conference was better than the previous one, not only in terms of the number of participants, but also owing to the variety of topics discussed.
From this year onwards the concept of the conference is going to change – we are going to approach our clients and partners with the new formula of 6 local events which will replace one regional conference. In 2016 the New Banking Vision events will take place in:
Zagreb, Croatia, April 7th, 2016
Istanbul, Turkey, April 21st, 2016
Bucharest, Romania, May 17th, 2016
Struga, Macedonia, September 15/16th, 2016
Belgrade, Serbia, October 4th, 2016
Sofia, Bulgaria, October 18th, 2016

STORYLINE
Crisis-hit Romania is to receive 20 (b) billion euros (26.9 (b) billion US dollars) in loans from a group of lenders led by the International Monetary Fund, officials said on Wednesday.
The money will bolster government finances hard hit by the world financial crisis.
Jeffrey Franks, the head of the IMF mission to Romania, told reporters that the organisation had agreed to a two-year bailout loan of 12.95 (b) billion euros (17.49 (b) billion US dollars).
The first part, five (b) billion euros (6.7 (b) billion US dollars), would be available in the summer.
Franks said another five (b) billion euros (6.7 (b) billion US dollars), would come from the European Union, 1.5 (b) billion euros (2.01 billion US dollars) from the World Bank and the rest from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Romanian President Traian Basescu met officials from the IMF, EU and World Bank on Tuesday in advance of the announcement.
Romania is the third EU member to receive an IMF-led bailout loan after Hungary and Latvia, countries that all have been hit hard by the economic crisis in recent months.
Eastern Europe has struggled with falling growth, sagging currencies and political turmoil from the crisis.
Romanian Prime Minister Emil Boc was expected to meet ministers later on Wednesday and approve the loan request.
Franks said that as a condition of the loan, Boc's centre-left government would take measures to gradually reduce the budget deficit.
The European Commission said in a statement that a key element of the economic policy package was an immediate and sustained fiscal consolidation to limit the budget deficit to 5.1 percent of gross domestic product this year and to below three percent of the GDP in 2011.

Financing the Non Eurozone Economies in an Era of Uncertainties at Bucharest Forum 2016
Plenary Roundtable Session: Getting Back in Shape – Financing the Non Eurozone Economies in an Era of Uncertainties
Europe’s banking system is still reeling from the effects of its most serious economic and financial crisis. Beyond specific policies, the crisis is rooted in the imperfect design of the EU’s financial and budgetary workings. Economic nationalism is resurfacing in many EU countries and it is particularly evident in Europe’s Central and Eastern countries. A populist discourse against “foreign interests” , “foreign capital” and the EU is amalgamated with a criticism of Europe’s decadent values. The rise of a new conservative and nationalist ethos is used to defend illiberal economic and social policies. With a growing public discontent against neoliberal policies and an open criticism of globalization (often both are conflated with the EU and its problems) Europe is hard pressed to reform. Decade long low growth in some of its large economies and stubbornly high youth unemployment in unreformed economies creates further social and political pressures. Brexit has made all these issues evident and central to Europe’s own idiosyncratic efforts to reform. Businesses are weary of political and systemic risks and are looking for stability. Nothing of that sort is on offer. With France and Germany going into elections, Italy holding a referendum with unclear prospects and Spain returning for the third time to the polls failing to achieve a governing majority there is little wonder business are not very positive about EU’s economic prospects. At the same time there are few other areas of safe investment. Beyond the evident political risks in CEE region, what are the prospects for convergence? How can Europe address the requests for more effective Euro-zone mechanisms and follow the calls for more flexible rules for member states? Can Junker plan be updated and expanded significantly to serve this purpose?
