摘要:By 30 June 2008 total banking assets reached BGN 65.7 billion: up by BGN 18.5 billion (39.2 per
cent) on June 2007. During the second quarter of 2008 they picked up by 10.5 per cent (against 6.1
per cent for the same quarter of 2007), with the five leading institutions playing the major role. The
main factor behind rising bank businesses in the second quarter of 2008 was the increase in deposits
of credit institutions and non-bank customers. During the quarter the trend towards growing relative
weight of loans and advances and the parallel reduction in the share of cash and securities portfolios
was sustained.
