Executive summary
- Purpose: This Technical Assistance Report assesses the bank resolution framework and deposit guarantee system in Slovenia.
- Three necessary requirements for effective bank resolution identified:
- (1) a special bank resolution regime,
- (2) advance preparation for bank intervention and resolution,
- (3) an adequately funded Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS).
- Key finding: Slovenia’s banking law provides for the first requirement.
- Key institutional change: Recommendation to create a Resolution Unit within Bank of Slovenia has been adopted.
- Principal shortcoming: The extant DGS is an ex post funded scheme and does not fulfill the third criterion.
- Policy imperative: Slovenia must implement the European Union Deposit Guarantee Scheme Directive into national law, which calls for an ex ante funded DGS.
Findings on bank resolution framework and preparedness
- Legal framework:
- Slovenia’s banking law provides for a special bank resolution regime.
- Institutional preparedness:
- Recommendation adopted to create a Resolution Unit within Bank of Slovenia (advance preparation measure).
- Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS):
- Current DGS implementation: ex post funded.
- Assessment: the ex post funded DGS does not meet the requirement of being adequately funded in advance.
Policy recommendations
- Implement the European Union Deposit Guarantee Scheme Directive into national law to establish an ex ante funded DGS.
- Maintain and further operationalize the Resolution Unit within Bank of Slovenia to strengthen advance preparation for bank intervention and resolution.
