Abstract

As countries develop, they tend to carry out a variety of economic activities, operate in larger markets and claim higher financial capital, adapted to growing needs. Financial intermediation plays an important role in such developed economies, to boost lending, efficiently allocating funds and providing protection and security for various financial transactions. The current research shows us that in Romania, bank lending remains the pillar instrument for financing investments and the banking system has defined its lending capacity in recent years. However, our country ranks last, in terms of the degree of financial intermediation. The article proposes concrete financial measures with a high degree of implementation difficulty but with a strong impact on the growth of sustainable financial intermediation in Romania.
