At the regular session, the National Bank Council reviewed and adopted the Report on the risks in the banking sector for the first quarter of 2024. It is assessed that the banking sector has maintained its stability and reliability in operations, with improved solvency, maintained liquidity and good quality of the credit portfolio.
The capital adequacy ratio reached a level of 18.9%, which is the highest analyzed since 2006. The improvement of the indicator results from the growth of the banks’ own funds, mostly due to the reinvestment of profits from last year. The liquidity coverage rate of the banking system is 279.1%, which is significantly more than the regulatory minimum (100%) and confirms the satisfactory level of liquidity available to the Macedonian banking system.
