### Key findings on recovery and credit dynamics
- Following the global financial crisis recovery in Slovenia significantly lags typical postrecession recoveries for both typical and financial-crisis-driven recessions.
- Credit dynamics in Slovenia have been much more subdued compared with typical recoveries.
- Controlling for Slovenia’s double-dip recession and the slowdown in global growth after the global financial crisis reveals that Slovenia’s recovery is not atypical.
- The cross-country study finds that bank-specific factors are the key determinants of bank lending.
- Bank credit to the private sector has a positive but modest impact on economic activity, mainly through the investment channel.
