He added that EU regulation would have a significant impact in the region due to closer ties within the banking landscape: "Two thirds of banks in the CEE region are satellite branches of EU banks – they are also affected by Basel III, and that is having a significant impact on capital reductions and proprietary private equity programmes. This could in turn lead to spinoffs of new private equity players, as well as mezzanine and high-yield debt filling in."
