The National Bank has reported positive macroeconomic and financial stability indicators. In late August 2026, the Bank noted economic resilience driven by construction, industrial production, and hospitality, alongside slowing inflation and stable foreign exchange reserves. During this period, the Bank also announced a mandate requiring the IBAN standard for all national payment transactions starting November 1, 2026, to align with SEPA standards.

By late September 2026, the Bank adopted its 2025 Financial Stability Report, which confirmed the continued resilience of the financial system. The report highlighted growing solvency and capitalization within the banking sector and adequate solvency and profitability in the insurance sector. Additionally, investment funds were identified as the fastest-growing segment of the financial system for the second consecutive year.
