Coverage of the CEE Banking Sector for Period Feb-Jun 2006 Written By Local Analysts.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c42607) has announced the addition of CEE Banking Sector Report to their offering.

The banking sector in CEE stood firmly as a pillar of the countries' economies. The region performed well showing a rise in economic indicators. The Visehrad Four (V4) group, comprising Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, posted good results in Q1/2006. The GDP growth was mainly connected with the rise of industrial production, which in turn was underpinned by strong exports volume. Internal retail sales helped to boost private consumption, which influenced production growth as well. Russia and Ukraine posted even higher results, as both economies developed faster than the V4 group. Still, reluctance of the state authorities to let foreign banks enter the market, especially in Russia, hampered the foreign takeovers and provoked limited internal consolidation among local banks.
