ING Romania - best debt house and best equity house

British magazine Euromoney has named ING Romania best debt house and best equity house in Romania, for the second year in a row. “We missed the ‘best M&A house’ award, as the privatisation market was smaller in 2002 than in the previous years,” says Misu Negritoiu, ING Romania deputy general manager. According to Euromoney, the best bank in Romania is BRD-Groupe SocGen (BRD-GSG), which has received this award for the fourth year in a row. According to Negritoiu, ING Romania cannot be named “best bank” since it is only the subsidiary of a foreign bank and its territorial network is not very big. However, ING continues to expand in the big cities, with its twelfth subsidiary opened yesterday in Targu Mures. ZF
