Research and analysis highlights
The countries of Central and Eastern Europe represent an attractive
opportunity for wealth managers due to their relatively high national saving
ratios. In comparison to the UK, with a national saving ratio of 13.1%,
individuals in all three Central and Eastern European countries save, on
average, a far greater proportion of their disposable income
Central and Eastern Europe has long been a target for foreign banks due
mainly to the regeneration and privatization of the banking sector following the
collapse of the Communist bloc. Consequently the banking sectors in Poland,
Hungary and the Czech Republic are all open and competitive but are now heavily
dominated by foreign banks.
Poland has the greatest proportion of mass affluent individuals as a
percentage of the general population. In fact, Polish mass affluent liquid
assets account for nearly 70% of all mass affluent liquid assets in CEE.
