Banca Transilvania plans to spur lending by as much as 20% this year, after having boosted lending volumes by 10% last year, and has the biggest demand pick-up expectations from the corporate segment, states Robert Rekkers, general manager of the lending institution. The bank's loan portfolio in late 2010 stood at 13.36bn RON (3.14bn euros).
