With its constantly expanding network in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Raiffeisen International Bank-Holding AG has developed into one of the region's leading banking groups. Raiffeisen International is a fully-consolidated subsidiary of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG (RZB). RZB owns more than two thirds of the common stock, the balance is free-float. The shares are traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

Starting already in 1986 by founding what is today Raiffeisen Bank, Hungary, Raiffeisen International has consistently entered growth markets and expanded its regional and local presence. Recent examples are the acquisitions of banks in Kosovo, Belarus, Albania and Ukraine in 2002 through 2005. In January 2006, Raiffeisen International acquired 100 per cent of Russian Impexbank. In July 2006, it purchased Czech eBanka. Both banks were integrated into the network by merging them with the existing local Raiffeisenbanks.
