Annex 1a: Risk Disclosure Forms for Variable Interest Rate and Foreign Currency Loans

The National Bank of Serbia mandates standardized risk disclosure forms for consumers considering loans with variable nominal interest rates, foreign currency exposure, or currency clauses. These documents require lenders to provide historical data, graphical trends, and scenario-based tables illustrating the potential financial impact of adverse movements in interest rates and exchange rates on annuity payments and total repayment costs. Borrowers must receive these disclosures to understand the specific risks associated with their loan structure before signing the contract.

Annex 1a Form RZ-1 INFORMATION ABOUT RISKS OF BORROWING AT A VARIABLE NOMINAL INTEREST RATE AND RISKS OF BORROWING IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY OR BY CONTRACTING A CURRENCY CLAUSE To clearly explain the risks that you assume by borrowing at a variable nominal interest rate and borrowing in a foreign currency or by contracting a currency clause, we hereby inform you of the following:

  1. On dd.mm.yyyy. you received the offer relating to the loan/lease contract that you are interested in, with the basic prescribed elements: Total amount you will pay during the repayment period expressed in dinars: Amount of annuity/average instalment expressed in dinars: Ratio of monthly income and average monthly annuity/average monthly instalment expressed in dinars:
  2. By borrowing at a variable nominal interest rate and borrowing in a foreign currency or by contracting a currency clause, you assume the risk of change in the amount of calculated annuity/instalment depending on movement in the variable element of the interest rate and the dinar exchange rate. The text below contains a graphic overview of daily values of the variable element of the nominal interest rate and the official middle exchange rate of the dinar in the past ten (10) years, i.e. for the previous period which equals the repayment deadline from the offer, if the deadline is longer. Chart 1 Movement in the variable element of the nominal interest rate (6M EURIBOR) Chart 2 Movement in the official middle exchange rate of the dinar against the euro Example: seven-year loan indexed to the euro at a variable nominal interest rate – 6M EURIBOR Notes:  full line denotes movement in the value of the variable element of the nominal interest rate, i.e. movement in the middle dinar exchange rate;  interrupted line denotes the value of the variable element of the nominal interest rate, i.e. the current value of the middle dinar exchange rate on the day of delivering the information;  shaded part denotes the previous period which equals the repayment deadline from the offer.

2 The highest historical values of the variable element of the nominal interest rate and the official middle exchange rate of the dinar in the time interval equal to the loan repayment deadline which precedes the day of delivery of the offer and this information are as follows: Highest value of the variable element of the nominal interest rate*: Highest value of the official middle exchange rate of the dinar**: 3. To explain the consequences of unfavourable movement in the variable element of the nominal interest rate and the dinar exchange rate, the tables below contain comparative overviews of the total amount you will pay during the repayment period expressed in dinars, the amount of annuity/average instalment expressed in dinars and the ratio of your monthly income to the amount of the average monthly annuity/average monthly instalment expressed in dinars under the current conditions and in the event of materialization of unfavourable movement in the variable element of the nominal interest rate and the dinar exchange rate.
