Having extended and adjusted the macroprudential measure restricting profit distributions by banks and savings banks, Banka Slovenije has also extended the recommendation providing similar guidance to leasing companies. Amid the continuing economic and financial uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, the aim in extending the recommendation is for leasing companies to maintain the highest possible level of capitalisation. The recommendation is expected to remain in force until the end of September.

This year, Banka Slovenije is planning to issue three series of special coins – two series will be collector coins and one commemorative coins. The first collector coins, marking the 300th anniversary of the Škofja Loka Passion, will be available for purchase and in circulation from 12 May. In the autumn, we are planning to issue collector coins on the 30th anniversary of the Republic of Slovenia’s statehood, and commemorative coins to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Provincial Museum for Carniola, the first museum in Slovenia.

Banka Slovenije has taken a more active role in seeking solutions to unresolved issues in connection with the recovery and resolution of the banking system in 2013, and the impact on those involved in that process from the decisions made at that time by the competent institutions. Given the unsuccessful attempts to find solutions to unresolved issues, judicial relief has still not been guaranteed for all participants in that process. The independent taskforce of legal experts set up at Banka Slovenije to draw up proposed solutions for unresolved issues has completed its work, and today presented a report of its key findings.
