Governor’s statement from the spring meeting of the IMF and the World Bank
On this occasion the regular spring meeting is being overshadowed by the Russian military aggression and its impact on the economy. The impact of the conflict is reaching global proportions. First it was reflected in a rise in energy prices and food prices. It is now increasingly being reflected in economic developments, where it is EU Member States that are most exposed. As a result of the shock to the economy from the conflict, economic growth will be lower than previously forecast, but still solid, while the current assessment is that the impact on inflation will be even larger.

Governor’s statement following the ECB’s monetary policy meeting
In the second quarter of this year, the euro area, and in particular Slovenia, recorded a strong recovery in economic activity. Despite the high risks associated with the future course of the epidemic, this is continuing in the third quarter. There was also a strengthening of inflation, although we anticipate that following a gradual rise up to the end of the year, it will start easing off in the coming year. With the continued support of monetary policy, conditions in the financial markets continue to look highly favourable.

Governor’s statement following the meeting of the Governing Council of the ECB
The economic picture in the euro area improved sharply in the second quarter of this year. The health situation, the vaccine rollout and the easing of containment measures have given rise to a broad-based recovery. The Governing Council assesses these developments as on track with our forecasts, while the risks remain evenly balanced. The situation on the financial markets remains stable, amid significant monetary policy support.

Governor’s statement following the meeting of the Governing Council of the ECB: ECB monetary policy strategy review complete
Euro area central bank governors approved a new monetary policy strategy this week. In it we have revised our approach to meeting the primary objective of price stability, and have also set out the instruments used to do so. The strategy also outlines the steps to be taken by central banks in facing the challenges posed by climate change.

Governor’s statement following the ECB’s monetary policy meeting
With what is now a more favourable epidemiological outlook, members of the Governing Council of the ECB deliberated yesterday over the improved economic forecast for the euro area. For this year, we expect a strong acceleration in economic activity, and the high growth rate will continue into the coming year. At the same time, despite this year’s acceleration, inflation will remain below the desired level. Conditions on the financial markets remain stable.

Governor’s statement following the ECB’s monetary policy meeting
The outlook for economic growth is improving in the euro area, as businesses and households increasingly adapt their behaviour. The Governing Council of the ECB’s assessment is that the latest figures support our forecasts, which nevertheless go hand-in-hand with great uncertainty, given the persistently bad epidemiological picture. The situation on the financial markets has also stabilised, with significant support from the accommodative monetary policy. In this situation the Governing Council decided yesterday to reconfirm the measures put in place to date, thereby continuing to ensure favourable financing conditions for the banking sector, the non-banking sector and the governments of the Eurosystem.

Governor’s statement following the meeting of the Governing Council of the ECB: higher pace of securities purchases to ensure favourable financing conditions
As the recovery strengthens in the second half of the year, economic growth in the euro area will reach 4% this year, although the risks remain high. Despite the recovery, price pressures will remain weak: inflation will stay below its medium-term target, reaching 1.4% at the end of the projection horizon. The members of the Governing Council were in complete agreement that ensuring favourable financing conditions for the banking sector, the non-banking sector and Eurosystem governments by maintaining a highly accommodative monetary policy is the key in this situation.

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.

Governor’s statement following the ECB’ monetary policy meeting
In the face of the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic, the economic situation in euro area countries, Slovenia included, remains serious. In contrast to the first wave, when industry also suffered a major decline, it is mainly services that have been hit in the current winter wave. The situation on the financial markets remains stable, amid the monetary policy support put in place by the Governing Council last year. There was also an improvement in government borrowing terms in Slovenia, and Slovenian banks have been allowed to provide favourable financing conditions for businesses and households.
