Executive Overview

Market-level snapshot of the Kosovo banking system. All KPIs use corrected source mapping with proxy disclosures where applicable.

Market Summary

Total outstanding loans

Stock, EUR — source: ODC loans by maturity

Total EUR deposits

Stock, EUR

Loan-to-Deposit ratio

Total loans / EUR deposits, %

Remittance inflows

All channels, EUR

Loans

Total outstanding loans, customer segmentation, maturity structure, corporate sector breakdown, and new lending flows.

Loan Structure

Loans by customer segment

Stock trend, EUR

Customer composition

Share of total, latest period

New lending by product (flow only)

Consumer, mortgage, other — excludes revolving stock

New loans: Households vs Corporates

HH total vs NFC total new lending, EUR
Maturity

For full loan maturity breakdown by segment and bucket, see the Maturity tab.

Corporate lending by economic sector

Top sectors by latest value — corporate loans only, dynamically sorted
Caveat

The sector breakdown covers corporate/business lending only (~€3.8B). Total market loans including households are ~€6.6B. “Overdrafts & Credit Cards” is an outstanding stock balance, not a new-lending flow, and is excluded from the product flow chart.

Deposits

EUR deposit base by segment, deposit type composition (stock vs flow separated), and maturity analysis where available.

Deposit Structure

Deposits by segment

Main depositor categories, EUR

Deposit share: Households vs Corporates

% of total EUR deposits over time

Deposit stocks: Transferable & Savings

End-of-period balances (stock), EUR

New time deposit origination (flow)

Monthly new time deposits placed, EUR
Stock vs Flow

Transferable and savings deposits are stock measures (end-of-period balances). Time deposits in this source are flow-based (new originations per month). They are shown separately to avoid analytical misinterpretation. The type breakdown covers HH and Corporate segments only (~€5.0B of ~€7.6B total F08 deposits).

Deposit Maturity

Term deposit maturity by original maturity is available in the Maturity tab. F08 provides 6 buckets (up to 1 month through over 2 years) for HH and NFC time deposits. Maturity applies only to time deposits — transferable and savings deposits have no fixed term.

Interest Rates

Effective rates on new lending and new time deposits, repricing gap, and WACF (Weighted Average Cost of Funds).

Proxy Disclosure

Neither pricing gap shown here equals Net Interest Margin (NIM). Both exclude legacy book rates, non-interest income, and provisioning. The narrow gap compares only new-business rates (new loans vs new time deposits). WACF (Weighted Average Cost of Funds) weights all three deposit categories using outstanding stock balances: CA from F11a (stock, at 0% non-remunerated), SA from F11a (stock, at 0.05% proxy — CBK does not publish SA rate), TDA from F08 deposit maturity (stock, at published CBK new-business time deposit rate). The WACF gap = lending rate minus WACF.

End-of-period stock, all account types

Account mix

Current, savings, term, e-money accounts

E-banking adoption

E-banking accounts and penetration rate

Net monthly change in accounts

Month-on-month change in total account stock
Data Scope

Account figures are end-of-period stock, not gross openings. Net changes reflect new openings minus closures. E-banking penetration = e-banking accounts / current accounts. Individual + business may not sum to total due to other categories. Source: CBK Payments Workbook — Table 1 (Client Accounts).

Cards & Card Usage

Card issuance stock, scheme and function mix, contactless adoption, and issued-card spending proxies.

Card Issuance

Total cards trend

Issued and valid cards, end-of-period

Function mix

Debit vs credit vs delayed debit

Contactless adoption

Contact/contactless cards as share of total

Spend per issued payment card (proxy)

Monthly card payment value / payment-function cards

Average card ticket

Card payment value / card payment count
Proxy Disclosure

Spending metrics use issued card stock as denominator, not active cards. Active card counts are not published by CBK. These are stock-based utilisation proxies and understate true per-active-card spending. Card counts are issued and valid at end of period. Source: CBK Payments Workbook — Table 2 (Cards) & Table 4 (Payments).

Payments

Payment flows by instrument, channel mix, digital adoption trends, and cross-border card activity.

Payment Trends

Payment mix by count

EFTPOS vs online card payment count

Digital channels trend

E-commerce, digital wallet, e-money payment count

International card payments

Incoming vs outgoing cross-border card payments, EUR
Data Scope

Payment data covers customer-initiated transactions only. Credit transfers dominate by value (~90%) while card payments dominate by count (~70%). E-commerce refers to payments at Kosovo-based online merchants. Digital wallet and e-money are separate categories. Source: CBK Payments Workbook — Table 4 (Payments by Instrument).

Acceptance Network

ATM and POS infrastructure, contactless penetration, merchant acceptance, and terminal transaction activity.

Network Trends

Digital vs Physical card payments

E-money + digital wallet vs physical POS card payments (count)

Average ticket by channel

Avg transaction value: physical POS vs e-commerce vs ATM withdrawal

Cash substitution trend

Card payment count / ATM withdrawal count ratio
Data Scope

Terminal counts are end-of-period stock. ATM deposit capability has grown significantly. POS contactless share measures terminal readiness, not transaction share. Merchant counts represent unique businesses accepting card payments. ATM Recycling Rate = deposit value / withdrawal value; higher means more cash deposited relative to withdrawn. Source: CBK Payments Workbook — Tables 3, 4, 5.

Remittances

Diaspora remittance inflows by channel and origin country.

Data Notes

Remittance transaction counts are not available — only value (EUR) is reported. Country breakdown shows percentage shares (Total=100%), not absolute EUR amounts. Pre-2014 data is quarterly/annual only; monthly filter may return no results for those periods. MTO Share = agencies/transfer operators as % of total. Germany + Switzerland concentration measures diaspora corridor dominance.

Contractual Maturity Gap

Loans vs time deposits by aligned bucket, EUR M — gap = loans minus deposits
Contractual Maturity Gap

Deposit maturity buckets (6 buckets from F08) are re-bucketed to match loan maturity (5 buckets from F10). First 4 deposit buckets (up to 1 month through 6–12 months) are combined into “Up to 1 Year”. Positive gap = more loans than deposits in that bucket (funding shortfall). This is contractual (original) maturity, not residual maturity, and does not constitute a full liquidity risk assessment.

Deposit Maturity Scope

Maturity bucketing applies only to time deposits (Depozita tjera). Transferable and savings deposits have no fixed maturity term. Values are end-of-period stocks in EUR millions from F08. NFC combines public and private non-financial corporations.

Profitability & Efficiency

Income statement analysis: net interest margin proxy, cost-to-income ratio (G&A expenses / operating income), fee income dependency, and net profit margin trends from CBK Table 14 (ODC Income Statement, cumulative YTD).

Income Statement

Income composition trend

Annual cumulative: interest income, non-interest income, total expenses (EUR M)

Cost-to-Income ratio

G&A expenses / operating income, December cumulative %

Net Interest Margin proxy

Net interest income / total income, year-end %

Fee Income Dependency

Fee & commission income / total income %

Net Profit Margin

Net profit / total income %

Expense breakdown trend

Personnel, general & admin, provisions, interest expense (EUR M, year-end cumulative)
Data Note

Income data from CBK Table 14 is cumulative (year-to-date). December values represent full-year totals. Ratios computed from cumulative figures. Cost-to-Income = general & administrative expenses (col 21) / operating income, where operating income = interest income (col 3) + non-interest income (col 8) + revaluation income (col 11) − interest expense (col 13) − non-interest expense (col 17). NIM proxy uses net interest income / total income (not average earning assets, which are unavailable).

Credit Risk & Provisioning

Loan loss provision trends, cost of risk, and provisioning intensity from CBK Table 14 (ODC Income Statement).

Credit Risk

Loan loss provisions trend

Annual cumulative provisions for credit losses (EUR M)

Cost of Risk

December cumulative provisions (T14) / December loan stock (T02), %

Provisioning Intensity

Cumulative provisions / cumulative net interest income, %
Data Note

Provisions from CBK Table 14, column 19 (cumulative year-to-date income statement). Cost of Risk = full-year cumulative provisions (December) divided by year-end loan stock from Table 02, column 24. Denominator is end-of-period stock, not average loan stock — this is a proxy. No annualization is applied because the numerator already spans 12 months. Provisioning Intensity = cumulative provisions as a share of cumulative net interest income; both are YTD from Table 14, so the ratio is internally consistent. Sector-level CoR (HH vs NFC) is not available — Table 14 reports provisions as a single aggregate. If a month filter is active, the fallback uses the latest available period, which may show a partial-year cumulative figure rather than full-year CoR.

Asset Composition

Balance sheet structure of Kosovo’s depository corporations: loan-to-asset ratio and asset mix from CBK Table 02 (DC Survey).

Asset Structure

Asset composition trend

Loans, securities, cash & deposits, other (EUR M)

Loan-to-Asset ratio

Domestic loans / total identified assets %

Domestic credit vs foreign assets

Domestic credit claims vs net foreign assets (EUR M)
Data Note

Asset data from CBK Table 02 (DC Survey). Total identified assets = claims on non-residents + domestic credit claims + other claims. This is a monetary statistics presentation (not a full balance sheet), so the “Loan-to-Asset” ratio is a proxy, not a regulatory ratio.

Residual Maturity Analysis

Loan maturity distribution from CBK Table 10: residual maturity buckets across all sectors, household vs corporate breakdown, and short-term mismatch analysis.

Residual Maturity

Loan residual maturity: all sectors

Outstanding loans by residual maturity bucket (EUR M)

Household residual maturity

Short-term (<1Y) vs Long-term (>5Y) trend

Residual maturity concentration over time (EUR M)

Residual vs Contractual Maturity Gap

Residual maturity loan distribution vs contractual deposit maturity (EUR M)
Data Note

Residual maturity from CBK Table 10 measures time remaining until repayment, unlike contractual (original) maturity from F10 which measures the original term. Residual maturity is more relevant for liquidity risk. Maturity buckets: Up to 1 year, 1–2 years, 2–5 years, 5–10 years, Over 10 years.

Caveats & Limitations

  • All data represents aggregate banking sector totals as published by CBK. No individual bank breakdowns.
  • Deposits are EUR only (F08 is titled “Depozitat në Euro”).
  • Loans include a negligible non-EUR component (~€0.97M, 0.015% of total).
  • The narrow gap compares new-business rates only (new loans vs new time deposits). WACF weights TDA rate across CA+SA+TDA using outstanding stock balances: CA and SA from F11a (stock), TDA from F08 deposit maturity (stock). CA at 0% (non-remunerated), SA at 0.05% (proxy; CBK does not publish SA rate). Neither gap equals NIM.
  • Legacy payment data (F15) provides transaction-level ATM/POS data. New payments workbook data covers accounts, card issuance, terminals, and payment flows from 2025-01 onwards.
  • Deposit type breakdown from F11a: Transferable and Savings are stock; Time Deposits are flow (new originations). WACF uses F08 TDA stock (from maturity buckets) instead of F11a flow.
  • Sector breakdown covers corporate loans only (~€3.8B, not total market ~€6.6B).
  • Card counts are issued-and-valid stock, not active cards. Active card counts are not published by CBK. Spending proxies use issued stock as denominator and understate true per-active-card spending.
  • Remittance country data is percentage shares, not EUR amounts.
  • Monthly filter may not apply to quarterly remittance or annual payment data.
  • Maturity data uses original maturity buckets, not residual maturity.
  • Payments pre-2008 are annual only (mapped to December).
