1 CREDIT UNION Movement in ROMANIA

2 Short History of the CUs Movement in Romania The mutual credit activity appeared in Romania as early as the late 19th century, as a result of the need of various social categories to have access to loans, as the banking sector s development was incipient. Between the II World Wars the legal framework in Romania was in line with the most advanced movements in the world. Saving, credit and assistance associations were providing important financial service to their members such as: long term loans for investment (housing, mortgages, etc.), financial aids for illness, accidents, infirmity etc. After the II World War the associations for savings, credit and assistance were subordinated to trade unions and the estate of them was partly transferred into the property of trade unions. Their denomination changed into C.A.R. ( Mutual Assistance Houses ), which is still in use today. During the communist regime C.A.R. developed, and became the most important source of consumer loans for the state waged employees. After 199 C.A.R. decided to become independent from trade unions and free politically. Consequently, they associated themselves into territorial unions and into the National Union of C.A.R. (U.N.C.A.R.). Due to the difficulties of the transition period (industrial restructuring, unemployment etc.), the number of C.A.R.s members dropped to 3,, in 1996, 1,454,197 in 2 and 1 in. Lock of an entrepreneurial culture of the former state employees made difficult their re-orientation towards new economic sectors and independent economic activities and faced massive lay-offs. Until now, C.A.R.s have remained a financial institution mainly for waged employees. Presently, the National Union is strongly working so that C.A.R. deliver microcredits to an increased number of self-employees both from the urban and rural areas.
