The Central Bank planned to make a profit of 2,6 million euros next year, according to the financial plan of the supreme monetary institution for 2019, which was submitted to the Parliament and the Government for review.
The financial plan was prepared, among other things, on the basis of the execution of the financial plan for nine months of this year, the projection of the expected average balances of placements and deposits, forecasting of movements on the international financial market, the expected volume of payment transactions and the number of executed transactions and projected revenues based on state auctions records.
"The non-achievement of the planned net profit for 2019 can be influenced to the greatest extent by movements on the international financial market and their effect on income, i.e., expenses from financial assets (negative interest rate on deposits and negative returns on securities) as well as recording the costs of provisions for expected credit losses according to IFRS 9," the financial plan says.

"Business costs are planned at the level of 11.877.400 euros, which is nine percent more than the plan for 2018, and six percent more than the estimate of execution by the end of this year. These costs consist of compensation costs, employee costs, administrative costs, operational business costs and other business costs.
