The Central Bank of the Republic of Kosovo (BQK) announced a bilateral cooperation with the Bank of Slovenia to review and advance BQK’s macroprudential framework under Phase II of the Western Balkans central bank capacity-building programme aimed at supporting integration into the European System of Central Banks. As part of the cooperation, senior BQK officials conducted a first study visit to the Bank of Slovenia on 6–8 May 2025, focusing on assessing the effectiveness of BQK’s existing macroprudential instruments and exchanging experience on the implementation of modern macroprudential tools. The work sits within an EU-funded programme involving the European Central Bank, 20 EU national central banks and eight Western Balkan central banks and supervisory authorities, coordinated by Deutsche Bundesbank. BQK expects the cooperation to continue through an expert mission from the Bank of Slovenia and a closing study visit by BQK in the coming months. Phase II of the programme is expected to conclude in September 2025, with the next phase under preparation.
