Financial statements of the Bank of Slovenia for the year 2008

Risks to the banking system remain elevated going into 2021; strong impact from government emergency measures

Amid the economic adversity, the risks to financial stability remain profoundly elevated going into 2021, with Banka Slovenije highlighting income risk and credit risk in particular. Here we should reiterate that the situation might have been significantly worse without the fast and comprehensive economic policy response. Alongside the ECB monetary policy measures and additional Banka Slovenije measures, the government emergency measures are also having an impact on bank performance.

Banka Slovenije warns of need to find long-term viable solutions for borrowers in difficulty

Banka Slovenije can report that the anti-crisis measure put in place last year in connection with the loan moratorium has achieved its purpose. Banks and savings banks approved moratoria for 24,000 borrowers while the measure was in place. Banka Slovenije notes that dealing with the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis, which has now been with us for more than a year, requires solutions that are viable in the long term. Amid the continued support from monetary and fiscal policy, we therefore also expect banks to play a more active role.

Governor’s statement: Eurosystem’s commitment to sustainable and socially responsible investment in central bank portfolios

The central banks of the Eurosystem are aware of the importance of climate risks and their potential financial consequences. On the Governing Council of the ECB we have therefore set out a common framework for socially responsible and sustainable investment in connection with central banks’ own portfolios of euro-denominated securities. Over the next two years central banks will begin monitoring these portfolios through various indicators of social responsibility and sustainability in investment.

Stress tests confirm the stability of the Slovenian banking system; risks remain elevated

The macro stress tests conducted by Banka Slovenije have confirmed the stability of the Slovenian banking system, which has sufficient capital adequacy. Even amid the favourable results, the systemic risks to financial stability remain elevated, which is attributable to the impact of the Russian military aggression on the European economy and the resulting uncertainties.

Statement by Governor Boštjan Vasle following the ECB’s monetary policy meeting

At the October meeting members of the Governing Council of the ECB decided to retain the monetary policy stance formulated at the September meeting, the full implementation of which is envisaged over following months. The key aim in the monetary policy stimulus thus remains creating financing conditions that through increased economic activity will push inflation closer to its desired target level, even in a weakening economy.

Governor’s statement following the ECB’s monetary policy meeting

The strong economic recovery is continuing in the euro area, including Slovenia, but is losing a little momentum as constraints on the supply side disrupt performance in manufacturing and certain services. The financing conditions remain favourable for the government sector and for private-sector issuers alike.

Introduction of the euro in Slovenia

Economic activity remains high; disruptions to supply chains putting brake on

The economic recovery is continuing in the euro area, including Slovenia, but is losing a little momentum as disruptions to supply chains hold back manufacturing and certain services. Inflation is rising, but the prevailing assessment remains that the current spike is temporary, given the number of one-off factors at work. The financing conditions in the euro area remain highly favourable for the government sector and the private sector alike. In its Economic and Financial Developments publication, Banka Slovenije finds that the labour market remains in good shape.

Economic environment remains favourable for bank performance

Amid moderate economic growth and further monetary policy measures to address high inflation, the economic environment remains favourable for bank performance and for their income generation. The banks have passed rising interest rates through into borrowing terms for the non-banking sector, while there has only been a small rise in the remuneration of deposits. This was reflected in high net interest income in the banking system over the first four months of this year. Given the continued increase in net interest income and the low creation of impairments and provisions, profit and ROE strengthened significantly and were up on their figures in the same period of 2022.

Banks performing well as the year draws to a close

The moderate economic growth and the continuing monetary policy measures by which high inflation is being addressed within the framework of the ECB brought an additional improvement in the performance of Slovenian banks over the first ten months of the year. Amid low net impairments and provisions, pre-tax profit over the first ten months of the year was well up on the figure from the whole of 2022.
