The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo hosted a meeting between Governor Ahmet Ismaili and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Board Director Brendan O’Connor, accompanied by Alternate Director Anders Garly Andersen, covering Kosovo’s financial-sector developments and areas for closer cooperation. The discussion highlighted the banking system’s stability and resilience, including high liquidity, strong capitalisation and stable performance, alongside progress in regulatory development and the ongoing strengthening of financial supervision. Macrofinancial themes included economic trends, inflation and global challenges affecting the economy, with emphasis on policy coordination and reinforcing mechanisms to safeguard financial stability. Cooperation with the EBRD was reviewed, with both sides expressing readiness to deepen engagement, particularly to support financial market development and improve access to finance, alongside updates on the EBRD’s current and planned projects in Kosovo focused on the financial sector, digitalisation and private-sector support.
