Keybanking indicators, thanks to confidence in the banking system, reached their all-time high, and deposits increased by more than one billion euros last year, said the Governor of the Central Bank (CBCG), Radoje Žugić.
At a meeting with the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regional office for the Western Balkans, Stephanie Eble, he said that the share of newly approved loans last year increased by 31.5 percent compared to 2021.
The meeting discussed the overall economic situation in Montenegro, with particular emphasis on the banking sector, as well as the upcoming review of the CBCG policy transparency code.
Eble welcomed the activities and initiative of the Central Bank of Montenegro to carry out an assessment of the transparency of its policy, which the IMF will conduct in June.
The interlocutors agreed that the audit will contribute to the CBCG’s implementation of the highest international transparency standards and strengthen dialogue with external audiences, including top state and international institutions, the media, and the non-governmental sector.
