The record belongs to the people who entered classrooms and to those who wanted but did not make it. The record belongs to my colleagues who demonstrate also on this occasion that banking firstly means people and communities around a joint mission. We are proud to have contributed by exemplary mobilization of my colleagues in the bank to organizing an event of this magnitude across the country.

Our responsibility is to make resources available, especially educational ones, in order to contribute to creating prosperity in Romania,” said Sergiu Manea, the CEO of BCR.
