"Innovation and the ability to adapt to the increasingly dynamic evolution of financial markets are aspects that increasingly define private banking today. We take responsibility for helping clients put their personal finances in better shape, offering them a high level of investment expertise and access to a very diverse investment universe, composed of local investment funds, international investment funds, government bonds, corporate bonds, and certificates. We are very attentive to our clients' voices and constantly adapt our range of services and products to meet their needs and the context of the financial markets. The latest product launched this year, which has been very popular with clients, was a capital-protected certificate that offers exposure to the potential growth of the local stock market while protecting clients' invested capital in full at the product's maturity. We are very grateful for the trust of our clients, whom we support in managing their financial assets. We will continue to support them and bring to their attention other financial instruments through which they can capitalize on the potential of local and foreign capital markets”, said Alexandru Cristescu, Director, Raiffeisen Private Banking.
