It has a key role in the functioning of the system of payments and settlements, being the subject of money issuance and the main institutional conductor of the state monetary policy, supporting and ensuring the financial flows in the country, which ensures the development of the economy. In addition, banks perform the traditional function of financial intermediation - depositing the savings of natural and legal persons and redirecting this money to: lending the economy, interbank investments, investments in securities, etc. In this context, the stability of the banking sector is the key for the development of the economy as a whole.
