High Representative, Valentin Inzko, and Principal Deputy High Representative, Bruce Berton, visited the BiH Deposit Insurance Agency in Banja Luka today. Both praised the Agency for its dedicated work and achievements to the benefit of the country, its economy and all of its citizens.
“The continued increase of the deposit insurance limit to today’s 50,000 KM has built public confidence in the banking sector and encouraged savings, which in turn has contributed to the loaning capacity of banks and has kept the banking sector stable, as evident at the time of the economic crisis. This clearly shows how state-level institutions work to the benefit of all citizens in BiH. The BiH Deposit Insurance Agency’s efficiency and effectiveness in reimbursing Bobar Bank depositors after the bank’s bankruptcy is the most recent and obvious evidence of this, and once again stresses the necessity of preserving the full independence and highest professional standards of this crucial state institution”, said High Representative.
