The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo has launched a dashboard with gender-disaggregated data for the financial sector, aimed at improving transparency and supporting policymaking on financial inclusion, with a particular focus on women’s economic empowerment. It marks the first step in addressing gaps in gender-segmented financial statistics and, for the first time, allows key financing indicators to be monitored by gender. The dashboard tracks the number and value of loans, interest rates, nonperforming loans, collateralization levels and rejected loans. Reporting of these data began in July 2025 after the obligation was introduced through revisions to the Kosovo Credit Registry reporting manual approved in June 2025. The manual changes and the dashboard were developed under the WE Finance Code initiative, which in Kosovo is led by the central bank in cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and is being implemented in more than 30 countries.
