Today, CBCG Governor Irena Radović and her team welcomed a delegation of journalists from the public broadcaster and other leading media outlets from Latvia within a visit organised in cooperation with the European Commission Office in Riga.
Representatives of the Latvian media were presented with key indicators of the Montenegrin economy, the current state and trends in the banking sector, as well as the reform activities which the CBCG implements within the framework of Montenegro’s accession to the EU.
Speaking about the CBCG’s role in safeguarding financial stability, Governor Radović noted that the banking sector in Montenegro is characterised by stable operations, strong liquidity and sound capitalisation, while the CBCG continuously enhances the regulatory framework and supervisory practices in line with the highest European standards.
Governor Radović presented the activities of the CBCG aimed at further institutional transformation and preparation for future membership in the ESCB. She particularly highlighted the importance of cooperation with Eurosystem central banks, as well as strengthening capacities in the areas of supervision, payment systems, statistics, risk management and internal functions.
“Our goal is to ensure, through responsible action and timely modernisation, that we are fully prepared for future membership in the ESCB, thereby making an additional contribution to the country’s overall economic stability,” Governor Radović stated.
During the discussion, particular emphasis was placed on the importance of preserving the banking system’s stability and security, strengthening the financial system’s integrity, and implementing reforms aimed at further aligning the domestic supervisory and regulatory framework with European standards in banking, financial services, payment systems, digital resilience, and bank recovery and resolution.
The visit provided an opportunity for an open discussion on the CBCG’s achievements to date and its future activities on the path towards full integration into the European institutional and financial framework.
