Stress tests: Slovenian banking system remains stable and resilient to potential exogenous shocks

The Slovenian banking system remains stable, resilient and well-prepared for potential shocks. This was confirmed by the results of the macro stress tests used by Banka Slovenije to regularly examine the general resilience and capital adequacy of the banking system, under a baseline scenario and an adverse scenario. Amid otherwise favourable results, Banka Slovenije should also draw attention to the increased risks associated with potential new geopolitical and energy shocks, which could have an impact on the economic and financial environment. With the aim of considering potential scenarios for the materialisation of geopolitical risks, and deepening our understanding of the effects on bank portfolios and performance, we also conducted reverse micro stress tests under the aegis of the ECB. The scenarios drawn up by the banks were generally reasonable and credible.

Monthly report on bank performance

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.

Published: 15 September 2026

Bank lending activity moderated somewhat in July, reflecting slower year-on-year growth in lending to both non-financial corporations and households, particularly for housing loans. After several months of strong expansion that outpaced the euro area average, annual growth eased to slightly below 10% in July. Favorable developments in net interest and non-interest income continued in July, contributing to a 2% year-on-year increase in banks' pre-tax profit.

Note: June and July data may be subject to limited subsequent adjustments.
