Bank of Slovenia
Template:Short descriptionTemplate:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Central bank The Bank of Slovenia (Template:Langx) is the national central bank for Slovenia within the Eurosystem. It was the Slovenian central bank from 1991 to 2006, issuing the tolar.
In addition to its monetary role, the Bank of Slovenia is also a financial supervisory authority. In that capacity, it increasingly implements policies set at the European Union level. It is the national competent authority for Slovenia within European Banking Supervision.[1] It is a voting member of the Board of Supervisors of the European Banking Authority (EBA).[2] It is Slovenia's designated National Resolution Authority and plenary session member of the Single Resolution Board (SRB).[3] It is also a member of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB).[4]
Overview
The National Bank of Slovenia was established in 1973-1976 as part of the decentralization drive initiated by Josip Broz Tito at the time.[5]Template:Rp From 1976 to 1991, it operated within the federal central banking system in which the National Bank of Yugoslavia (NBY) acted as central institution.
In early 1991, during the early phase of the breakup of Yugoslavia, the National Bank of Slovenia started preparations to introduce a separate currency to replace the dinar, following revelations of capture of the NBY by Serbian politicians.[6] Slovenian legislation reorganizing and renaming the National Bank as the Bank of Slovenia entered into force on 25 June 1991, the same day as Slovenia's declaration of independence which triggered the Ten-Day War. The Slovenian tolar was subsequently introduced as national currency on 7 October 1991.[7]Template:Rp
The Bank of Slovenia is a non-governmental independent institution, obliged to periodically present a report on its operation to the National Assembly of Slovenia. Its primary task is to take care of the stability of the domestic currency and to ensure the liquidity of payments within the country and with foreign countries. It also acts as the supervisor of the banking system.
The bank is headquartered in a prominent building in the center of Ljubljana, erected in 1920-1923 for the Ljubljana Credit Bank.[8]
