C-bank governor insists bailout cheaper than alternatives

Ljubljana, 8 July - Banka Slovenije Governor Boštjan Jazbec told a parliamentary inquiry commission investigating the causes of the 2013 bank bailout that the bailout had been "cheaper than any other alternative". He expressed hope that privatisation and the sale of bad bank's assets will offset at least part of the cost.
