The possible exit of Great Britain from European Union, even in the
context of a relatively special status of British banking sector within
the Community banking system, cannot remain without effects on the
European financial system and thus on the Romanian banking system. The
future process of adopting the euro in Romania will bring some changes,
as it demands to transform certain mechanisms within the Community’s
financial and banking system. At European institutional level, the notion
that a financial integration at Community level being not complete without
the adoption of the single European currency is becoming more and
more prevalent. It should not be ignored that the exit of this bloc from
the community block may have possible effects on the foreign currency
loans market. Similarly on the loans in lei too, even when we ignore less
developed nature of interbank foreign exchange market. Changing interest
rates as a policy instrument of monetary policy, both at the ECB level and
at the NBR level will have limited effect.
