Banka Postanska Stedionica (BPS) continues to perform well, with good financial results in 2019 that resulted partly from the implementation of its new retail-focused strategy. The drafting of the Development Finance Strategy and Action Plan is underway, but the reforms are delayed. There is a need to continue with the process and make the needed decisions in a timely manner to complete the reforms. Progress on the resolution of non-performing loans (NPLs) continues to be satisfactory. The sale of the second, large NPL portfolio is currently ongoing with a planned completion date within the coming months. Considerable progress has been made regarding the implementing of the Government’s strategy to reduce the role of the state in the banking sector, with the contract signed for the sale of the state's shares in Komercijalna Banka. However, no progress has been made on further strengthening corporate governance of state-controlled banks. The technical assistance component of the Project is being implemented as planned. 3/24/2020 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report State Owned Financial Institutions Strengthening Project (P156837) Two outreach sessions with business representatives as part of the citizen engagement strategy took place during the implementation period.
