Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo Governor Ahmet Ismaili discussed banking reforms with European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Managing Director for Southeastern Europe Grzegorz Zielinski. The talks focused on EBRD technical assistance for drafting regulations under the Law on Banks and implementing the bank recovery and resolution framework. They also covered a project supported by the EBRD to align banking regulation and supervision further with European Union standards. Similar priorities featured in the central bank’s October discussions with the International Monetary Fund.
The meeting also addressed the WE Finance Code initiative, which the central bank coordinates nationally with EBRD support to improve access to finance for women entrepreneurs. Other areas of cooperation discussed included green financing and strengthening the central bank’s professional expertise in specialized fields, including capital markets.
