The need to direct the recovery measures for the current crisis towards socially responsible and sustainable development and the crucial role of banks in this endeavour was at the centre of this year’s Day of Slovenian Bankers event, held online.
Stanislava Zadravec Caprirolo, the head the Bank Association, pointed to the drastic shift from discussions about trade wars, Brexit, economic slowdown, unsustainable pollution and inequality growth at the start of the year to current debates on the preservation of job and liquidity. Along with central bank governor Boštjan Vasle, she noted a favourable liquidity situation in Slovenia. Vasle also praised fiscal measures, in particular the moratorium on loan payments.
