“RBI is EMEA Finance’s Best Bank in the CEE and CIS region. The bank exuberantly delivered the best results in its history in 2018”, said Christopher Moore, publisher and CEO, EMEA Finance magazine. “What’s particularly impressive is the manner in which the bank is operating, where the individual subsidiaries are innovating according to their own local environment, formulating and implementing specific local market strategies, while at the same time leveraging what can be termed the ‘best of best’ from across the network. It seems that the bank can apply uniform practice in key areas without stymieing creativity and innovation at country level.”
