Shares of Austrian-based lender Erste Bank (BSE) reduced 7 percent on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) this morning after falling 3 percent on the Vienna exchange, a correction after yesterday's advance against the market's general slump.

At 12:30 the bank's trading value was 142.50 lei, a 6.86 percent drop and in Vienna it traded at 40.05 euros, a 2.79 percent loss.

Erste Bank closed the trading session on August 18 with significant gain despite the slump on the market, broker with brokerage Broker Cluj, Darie Moldovan said. "Today's sharp fall is caused by yesterday's price, coupled with drops on the international markets," he added.

The capital market in Bucharest closed with the BET-C composite index measuring all listed shares minus investment funds losing 0.62 percent.
