Recommendation on Pillar 2 capital guidance:

Based on findings stemming from supervisory stress tests conducted in 2018, the ECB expects Nova Ljubljanska banka d.d. Ljubljana to adhere on a consolidated basis, to the Pillar 2 capital guidance of 1.00%, which should be comprised entirely of CET1 capital and held over and above the overall capital requirement (OCR).
