| 04/09/2021 | Strong growth of newly approved loans to households in March, corporate lending remains weak With lower net interest income, the higher profit before taxes of banks in the first two months of this year was mainly due to higher fees and commissions, as well as the net release of impairments and provisions. In the area of lending, year-on-year developments in February were similar to previous months; preliminary data for March show a high growth of newly approved loans to households. Corporate lending remains weak. |
| 03/25/2021 | Monthly Bulletin, March 2021 The effective interest rate on new housing loans for households decreased further: in January 2021 it was 2.27%, compared to 2.50% in January of last year and 3.56% in January 2011 (10 years ago). |
| 03/16/2021 | Report on External Statistics January 2021 In January 2021 gross external debt amounted to EUR 49.5 billion, which is EUR 4.8 billion more than a year ago. In the last year indebtedness of the the general government (EUR 3.1 billion) and the central bank (EUR 1.8 billion) have increased the most.

In the gross external debt structure the general government sector is dominated by 52.6% of total debt, while the share of banks and central bank is 18.5% in total. Financial instruments are dominated by debt securities (48.6%) and loans (19.0%). |
| 03/11/2021 | Monthly report on bank performance, March 2021 Despite the gradual improvement in the epidemiological situation the economic recovery, especially in the activities affected by the epidemic, is uncertain, while business conditions of banks are not improving. However, in January banks operated with a slightly higher profit than in the same period last year, although with negative growth of net income the main contribution was from the release of impairments and provisions. The volume of corporate loans increased in January, while loans for consumption financing declined. Significant growth in household deposits continued at the beginning of this year, with banks channeling the majority of these funds to accounts with the central bank. |
| 03/02/2021 | Summary of macroeconomic developments, March 2021 During the second wave of the epidemic, economic growth in Slovenia slowed in the final quarter of last year, similarly to the euro area overall, but the slowdown was significantly less than in the first wave, despite the worse epidemiological data.

Their net financial position has improved relative to the euro area, and was more favourable than that of non-financial corporations in the euro area overall by the end of the observation period. The better net financial position of the general government sector in Slovenia compared with the euro area overall was also attributable to its higher financial assets, alongside lower indebtedness. The weaker financial position of households in Slovenia was primarily attributable to the lower financial assets at their disposal; household indebtedness in Slovenia was lower than in the euro area. |
| 02/16/2021 | Monthly report on bank performance, February 2021 The banking system was operating in truly exceptional circumstances in 2020, and the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic will continue to be reflected in its performance in the future. Despite the downturn in business conditions, the banking system recorded relatively high profits in the amount of EUR 472 million, down just a fifth on the previous year, largely as a result of a one-off effect from the merger of two banks. Without this effect, profit would have been down more than a half on 2019. The increase in sight deposits by the non-banking sector continued. The main decline was in corporate loans, but consumer loans also continued to decline. Growth in housing loans remained at a similar rate to previous months. The banking system is otherwise still maintaining a good capital and liquidity position. |
| 02/15/2021 | Report on External Statistics December 2020 Trade in goods surplus reached EUR 2.5 billion in 2020 and was almost twice as much as in 2019 (up by EUR 1.2 billion).

| 01/13/2021 | Report on External Statistics November 2020 Trade in goods surplus of eleven months in 2020 reached 2,5 EUR billion, and surpassed the surplus of first eleven months of 2019 by more than three quarters. Bigger surplus in 2020 was caused by a bigger year to year drop of imports (-12,7%) compared to exports (-8,5%). Surplus of trade in services in first eleven months of 2020 reached 1,9 EUR billion, which is 72% less than in the same timeframe of 2019. Due to corona crisis, travel was hit the hardest. The surplus of travel services in eleven months of 2020 was 773 EUR million smaller compared to the same timeframe of 2019. Export of travel in eleven months of 2020 fell by 60,4%, import by 57,9% compared to 2019 timeframe. |
| 01/11/2021 | Monthly report on bank performance, January 2021 Despite the aggravation of epidemiological situation and deterioration of business conditions, the banking system generated relatively high profits until November 2020 due to one-off effect of the merger of two banks. Profit before tax lagged behind the previous year by less than a fifth, and without a one-off event, it would have been lower by as much as 53.9 %. The contraction in corporate and consumer loans continued, while housing loans continued to grow. Banks’ capital and liquidity position remained good. |
| 01/05/2021 | Monthly Bulletin, December 2020 At the end of November households had at other monetary financial institutions in Slovenia (including non-profit institutions, which provide services for households) only EUR 301 million or less than 3% of loans in foreign currency, in comparison with EUR 1,256 million loans in foreign currency (more than 13% of their loans) ten years ago. |
| 12/16/2020 | Monthly report on bank performance, December 2020 Business conditions are sharply tightening as the epidemiological and consequently economic situation deteriorates. Nevertheless, banks mostly operated at a relatively high profit in the first ten months of the year. Pre-tax profit in the period January-October 2020 amounted to EUR 454 million, or only 17% less than in the same period last year, but a significant part of the relatively favourable result is due to a one-off effect. |

Compared to second quarter 2020 this means slight improvement. Liabilities to the rest of the world fell by 0,2 EUR billion while assets remained on the same level.

Decrease is due to the massive decrease of travel connected with corona crises. Export of travel was down 56,2%, import 54,1% in nine months 2020 year on year. Transport services experienced also a decrease, yet to a minor extent. In spite of completely distorted circumstances, travel and transport still contribute most to the surplus in services balance. |
| 11/10/2020 | Monthly report on bank performance, November 2020 Profit of the banking system, generated in the first nine months of this year, lagged behind last year's in the same period by a fifth. With the worsening of the situation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the conditions for generating bank revenues worsened; costs of impairments and provisions increased as well. After months of decline, all major lending segments rose slightly in September – corporate loans increased for the first time since March this year, while loans to households have been growing since July. Liquid assets increased; the share of non-performing exposures once again decreased. The liquidity and capital position of the banking system remains good. |
