How is Exim Banca Romaneasca operating
Exim Banca Romaneasca gets involved in supporting the Romanian economy in two directions:
– By the specific activity of a universal commercial bank – Exim Banca Romaneasca offers a comprehensive portfolio of financial products and services tailored to both retail clients and corporate entities. The bank’s operations are overseen by the Executive Committee, comprising the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice Presidents. Strategic and operational decisions are made by the executive management, under the oversight and subject to the advisory input of the specialized committees of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the bank’s organizational and operational regulations.
– As agent of the state – Starting from September 30, 2025, the bank has concluded its mandate through which it provided financing and state guarantees aimed at supporting the development of infrastructure, public utility services, regional development, research and development activities, environmental protection, employment and personnel training, and the support and development of SMEs, following changes to the applicable legislative framework. Exim Banca Româneasca will continue to strengthen its mandate as Romania’s Export Credit Agency, granted by the Romanian state, in order to support Romanian exporters, international transactions, and Romanian investments abroad, using specific financing, guarantee, and insurance instruments. The activity carried out on behalf of and for the account of the state is managed by a dedicated structure, which is organizationally and functionally separate from the structures through which operations specific to a universal commercial bank are conducted. The body that establishes the granting mechanism, examines, and approves/endorses the products provided by Exim Banca Românească on behalf of and for the account of the Romanian state is the Interministerial Committee for Financing, Guarantees, and Insurance (CIFGA), which operates under the Ministry of Finance.
