EMI:Slovenia‘s Central Bank

The head of Slovenia‘s Central Bank, Bostjan Jazbec,
has said it will consider asking for outside help if the country‘s funding
costs stay high. He also said Slovenia‘s GDP would shrink by 2.6% this year,
more than April‘s 1.9% forecast. Slovenia‘s banks are largely state-owned and
saddled with bad loans worth 22.5% of its GDP.
