The biggest Bulgarian bank by assets at the end of September was UniCredit Bulbank, the Bulgarian unit of Italian banking group UniCredit formed after the merger of its domestic units, Bulbank, HVB Bank Biochim and Hebros Bank. Second came DSK Bank, owned by Hungarian banking group OTP, followed by Raiffeisenbank Bulgaria, part of Austrian banking group Raiffeisen Zentralbank Oesterreich (RZB).
NOTE: The figures for 2007 are not fully comparable with those for 2006 because from January 1 the BNB introduced a new consolidated financial reporting framework for supervisory purposes (CFRF), applicable to EU credit institutions. Bulgaria joined the European Union in January.
