The current situation regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic may pose a risk affecting economic growth projections and the global financial markets’ performance and functioning, which may particularly affect small and, consequently, open economies.

In this regard, the CBCG follows the development of the situation carefully and with great care including the potential impact of the said risk on the economy, medium-term inflation, health, the resilience of the banking system, and financial stability.

Depending on the further development of the situation, the CBCG is ready, if the need arises, to take appropriate available targeted measures to minimise these risks, as objectively as possible.
