Slovenia's banks less vulnerable to risks - central bank
Published on: Tuesday 13 June 2017
Slovenian banks have become more robust and better able to withstand economic shocks three years after their bad loan problems almost pushed the country towards an international bailout, the Bank of Slovenia said its June report on financial stability on Wednesday. "Banks operate in favourable macroeconomic environment which is increasing the confidence of companies and households with stability and forecasts of further (GDP) growth," the bank said. "In general the sensitivity of banks to systemic risks decreased in 2016 which gives a good basis for a revival of credit activity in this year," it said.
