Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG, a member of the RZB Group headed by Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG, will participate in the 73rd World Championship of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) in Switzerland as Official Sponsor. Raiffeisen International therefore continues the successful partnership that started with the World Championship 2007 in Moscow. The event will take place from 24 April through 10 May in Zurich-Kloten and Berne.rnrnIce hockey is very popular in most countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), and some of the best national teams stem from the region. This is a natural match with Raiffeisen International, which covers the region with the largest banking network of any foreign banking group. Out of the group’s 17 covered markets, Russia (the current champion), Belarus, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia will participate. Austria’s national team will compete as well.rnrn”We know from our previous commitment that the association of ice hockey with the Raiffeisen brand in Central and Eastern Europe is well-perceived by both existing and potential customers. This is an excellent opportunity to further strengthen our brand recognition and value, especially in times when marketing volumes generally go down”, said Raiffeisen International CEO Herbert Stepic.rnrnFor Switzerland, the IIHF World Championship will be the biggest sports event in 2009. Over 300,000 spectators are expected to attend and another estimated 600 million will be watching on TV, with 75 television stations broadcasting over 3,400 hours of world-class ice hockey. The next IIHF World Championships will be held in Germany (2010) and Slovakia (2011).rn

Neutral interest rate in Romania

The neutral nominal rate in Romania has been falling since the start of inflation targeting in 2005. The Taylor Rule clearly shows that interest rates peaked in 2022 and have been on a clear downward path ever since.Furthermore, the model estimates a long-term neutral nominal rate of around 3.9%, which is the equivalent of approx. 1.4% real.Using a more sophisticated model (i.e. New York FED’S HLW model), the real neutral interest rate in Romania is estimated currently at around 1.5% (1.7% 2023 average) and the historical mean at 1.2%.This implies a neutral nominal rate between 4.00% and 4.50%. In the past decade, the NBR real effective rate was below the neutral rate and only over the past year climbed above the neutral mark.Source: Erste Bank
