Financial Stability Review: amid economic uncertainty, bank resilience to systemic risks remains high

A major feature of the second half of last year was rising geopolitical tensions, which have strengthened even further this year in the wake of the US’s new economic and tariff policy measures. The uncertainty is also having an impact on economic activity in the euro area, where performance is sluggish. Meanwhile the performance of the Slovenian economy remains generally favourable.

Monthly report on bank performance

Published: April 15, 2025

Banka Slovenije publishes monthly the key data of the banking system for the last available month. More detailed data on bank operations are also available in the form of an enriched statistical database.

We are releasing the December and January statistical supplement with revised data, as banks have reported subsequent corrections for the observed periods. These corrections pertain to deposits within the other financial sector and NFC.

* Financial assets / securities on the asset side comprise total financial assets from A.II, including loans held for trading, while equities and debt securities other than loans are captured from other categories of financial asset (A.III, A.IV and A.V).
***Total financial liabilities measured at amortized cost in 2008 also include banks' liabilities to the central bank.
**** Includes subordinated debt until 31 December 2017. Under the IFRS 9 methodology, the item of “subordinated debt” is abolished, and these liabilities are included under liabilities to banks.
