Exposure to Slovenia decreased by 3.4 p.p. in 1-9/2019.
The largest contribution to reduced exposure to Slovenia was a decline in the value of government bonds owing to maturities in the reporting period.

Lower exposure to government securities resulting from maturity of government securities. Larger exposure to banking sector is short-term based on increased allocation to cash and cash equivalents.

*Includes direct investments in real-estate and property funds.


Investment grade assets represent 80.2% of fixed income investments which is slightly lower as at the end of 2018.
The A-rated category declined reflecting maturities of government bonds. Increase in the percentage of BBB group is due to better ratings of Croatian government bonds (from BB+ to BBB-) and the inclusion of ERGO in the portfolio. Increase in the percentage of unrated assets reflects increased allocation to cash and cash equivalents (short-term).
