Národná banka Slovenska issued Decision No 4/2015 to formally designate five major commercial banks as domestic systemically important institutions under national banking legislation. The designated entities, including Československá obchodná banka, Poštová banka, Slovenská sporiteľňa, Tatra banka, and Všeobecná úverová banka, must now comply with enhanced capital buffers and risk management frameworks. This regulatory measure takes effect on 1 January 2016 to strengthen national financial stability and mitigate systemic risk across the Slovak banking sector.
