The new international environment is posing additional challenges for CEE countries
MACRO CEE BANKING CEE
Dependency on capital inflows (consumption and investment boom financed through external savings)
Dependency on international demand(industrial sector part of the international production chain)
Dependency on commodities in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine
Imported lack ofconfidence in banks
Banking sector fully dependent on foreign funding to finance lending growth
availability of funding and cost of funding an issue
FX lending both in retail and corporate sector
Real Estate market boom
The international crisis is reflected in
Central Eastern European with
peculiar characteristics
Paradoxically, global capital could flow back to countries where the crisis originated, out from emerging markets and from some transition economies
7
The impact of the financial crisis on CEE has been particularly serious in some countries, milder in others – CEE not an homogenous area

The manufacturing sector in CEE: a stronger industry after the crisis or the end of a successful story?
CEE became in the last decade the manufacturing arm of “Old Europe”. But the financial crisis is affecting significantly CEE countries:
Is the end of the “successful story” in producing in CEE or will the crisis create a further incentive to move production towards more efficient locations in Eastern Europe (creating even a stronger industry in CEE in the long run)?
Some considerations:
Incentives for some industries in Western Europe (for cars and durable goods) could favor Western factories, even if protectionism risks will not materialize;
Labor flexibility is higher in some CEE countries (it’s easier to cut production in CEE rather than in Western Europe)
Pressures on labor cost in CEE will be lower than before (CEE is even more an efficient location)
Competitive pressures intensifies, ie. stronger incentive to look for efficiency

AGENDA
The global financial crisis and the effects on Central Eastern Europe
The banking sectors in CEE
The challenges for the leasing market
Conclusions
32
The crisis will hit hard all emerging markets, but in CEE structural strengths can cope with cyclical headwinds
STRENGTHS
CEE long term convergence prospects are strong
Strong EU/EMU anchor with a strong bank regulatory environment
International support
Strong commitment of non residents banks
Long-term potential for banking and leasing products
Cyclical Structural
WEAKNESSES Cyclical Structural
Imported lack of confidence
Sharp economic slowdown
Weak corporate activity; lower export, lower FDI
High external financing requirements
Relatively high FX leverage ratios
33
Executive Summary – A crisis is a terrible thing to waste
The financial crisis is re-shaping the banking sectors around the world
The new environment is posing additional challenges on CEE but structural strengths are helpful
CEE countries are feeling the impact of the crisis, as they are dependent on capital inflows and external demandCEE is not an homogenous area – most of the countries are solid
The banking sector in CEE The region’s banking sectors will remain partially dependent on external funding and the competitive framework is changing
Leasing business Weaker economic growth and corporate activity, availability of funding,
concern on credit quality will weight on leasing business; Usual drivers for the leasing market will continue to hold, but they are not
immune from a relevant slowdownThe potential of the leasing business is still there, given the low
penetration: 1) leasing can bridge the gap between demand for investments and insufficient offer of long term financing; 2) in period of deterioration of credit quality, leasing can provide a better protection for the lender; 3) funding is an issue for some players but an advantage for others
