Agreement on the acquisition of Garanti BBVA Group Romania
Vienna, 28 March 2026. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) announces
that its Romanian subsidiary Raiffeisen Bank S.A. has reached an agreement
to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in Garanti BBVA Group Romania
(Garanti Bank S.A. and the leasing unit Motoractive IFN S.A.) from
subsidiaries of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (BBVA). The
transaction is subject to closing and regulatory approvals.
Based on a purchase price of EUR 591 million (subject to adjustments at
closing) and a CET1 ratio of 15.5 per cent for the RBI Group excluding
Russia as of year-end 2025, the transaction is expected to have a c. minus
60 basis point impact on the CET1 ratio at closing.
The closing of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
RBI plans to merge the acquired units with its respective Romanian
operations in order to realize the identified operational and cost
synergies.
The acquisition will strengthen RBI’s position in the Romanian banking
market. Garanti Bank S.A. had total assets of around EUR 4 billion at
year-end 2025 and a market share of approximately 2 per cent. With this
acquisition, Raiffeisen Bank S.A. is expected to become the third-largest
bank in Romania by total assets (based on H1/2025 market shares).
