Business Arena recognizes financial sector success
As we come to the end of a year dominated by health crisis constraints and electoral pressure, Romania's banking and financial sector is looking back proudly on its success stories, while assessing the challenges ahead. In this context, Business Arena continues to salute and recognize the efforts and achievements of successful companies, banks, entrepreneurs and investors. Dubbed the engine that drives the economy, banks and the financial sector came into focus last night, as Business Arena held its annual Financial Leaders’ Hall of Fame awards gala, in the presence of banking and financial leaders, professionals and diplomats.
However, the business environment hasn't offered the best conditions for development. The economy contracted 10.5% on an annual basis in Q2, contrasting Q1’s 2.4% growth, as Covid-19 containment measures took their toll. Looking ahead, GDP is seen contracting this year as the coronavirus pandemic deals a heavy blow to the economy. Experts agree that prolonged Covid-19 containment measures will continue to subdue private consumption, while disrupted value chains are set to hamper capital spending. Moreover, the country’s worsening budget deficit further clouds the outlook.
Coming back to last night’s awards gala, the special event was moderated by Andy Alexandru Antemia and organized in partnership with Raiffeisen Bank, Garanti BBVA, CEC Bank, First Bank, Apulum Porcelain Factory, World Class Romania, Via Viticola, Casa Anke, Kanal D, Trends By Adina Buzatu, Aida Events, Ramada Bucharest Parc Hotel.
