Impairments, provisions continue to raise banks' profit

Ljubljana, 23 November - Banks in Slovenia generated a pre-tax profit of EUR 372.5 million in the first nine months of 2021, down 10.5% compared to the same period last year, when re-tax profit benefited from a merger of two banks. Profit was relatively high, but mainly due to the net released impairments and provisions, the central bank said on Tuesday.
