Decision on Deadlines for Compliance of Banks’ Internal Acts on Risk Management and for Reporting by Banks

The Executive Board of the National Bank of Serbia issued this Decision to preserve banking system stability amid the COVID-19 pandemic by extending regulatory deadlines. The regulation replaces specific dates in previous decisions, postponing compliance for banks' internal risk management acts to January 1, 2021, and adjusting various reporting requirements to dates in late 2020 and 2023. These changes aim to provide banks with additional time to adapt their internal procedures and submit required reports during the health crisis.
