The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo published its January 2025 balance sheet and reserve asset statistics, showing an increase in both total assets and international reserves at end-January. Total assets reached EUR 1.68 billion, up EUR 28.85 million from the previous month, driven mainly by higher deposits from the Kosovo budget (Treasury account), the Deposit Insurance Fund and public non-financial corporations, partly offset by lower deposits from commercial banks, the Kosovo Privatization Agency and pension funds. Foreign investments in deposits and securities stood at EUR 1.17 billion at 31 January 2025 and fell EUR 28.04 million month on month, reflecting a EUR 27.30 million drop in deposits and a EUR 0.74 million decline in securities. Deposits at the central bank totalled EUR 1.38 billion, including EUR 490.40 million from the Kosovo budget, EUR 590.64 million from commercial banks, EUR 175.98 million from the Kosovo Privatization Agency and EUR 126.44 million from other depositors, while central bank capital was EUR 122.72 million. International reserve assets were EUR 1.31 billion, up EUR 50.96 million, primarily due to a EUR 45.94 million increase in deposits and a EUR 5.05 million rise in investments in securities.
