The number of loans issued by Three largest MFI Source: CBK (2011) Other MFI these institutions in the end of 2010 reached at 62,683, which represents an annual growth rate of 9 percent. In 2010, the value of loan portfolio issued by MFI reached at euro 116 million, marking an annual growth rate of 6.5 percent. The share of loans issued by MFI to total loans issued by Kosovo’s financial sector in 2010 was 7.4 percent, which represents a similar level compared to the year 2009. The average value of a loan issued by MFI in 2010 was euro 1,852, compared to the average value of a loan issued in 2009, that was euro 1,405 in 2009. In 2010, the MFI system marked a decrease of performance, compared to the performance of the MFI in 2009 (loss of around euro 2.0 million). Consequently, the performance indicators, such as return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE) declined during 2010. ROAA in 2010 was -1.6 percent, compared to 1.4 percent in the year 2009, whereas ROAE indicator was -5.5 percent, compared to 4.3 percent in the year 2009. Financial auxiliaries in Kosovo are composed of Exchange Bureaus and Money Transfer Agencies (MTA). The amount of transfers through MTA during 2010 reached at euro 231.8 million, which is an increase of 2.1 percent compared to year 2009. Out of this amount, 92.1 percent were incoming transfers to Kosovo. Transfers through MTA represent 4.2 percent of total international transfers, whereas the largest part of international transfers is realized through commercial banks (around 78 percent of total transfers) 23% 77% 27% 35% 73% 65% 3.4. External Sector Kosovo’s economy continued to have a high level of current account deficit also during 2010. This year, mainly due to the increase of the negative balance in the goods account and the decrease of the positive balance in services account, the current account deficit recorded an annual growth of 12.4 percent. While Kosovo exports in 2009 recorded a decline, the recuperation of demand in the global economy led to a considerably high growth of exports. Even though the growth rate of exports was higher compared to the growth rate of imports, yet the high weight that imports have in the structure of Kosovo’s trade continued to offset the growth effect of exports. As a consequence, trade deficit of Kosovo in 2010 a growth rate of 9.4 percent compared to the previous year. Income and current transfers account continued to contribute positively to the decrease of the current account deficit. The positive balances of income and current transfers account recorded an annual growth of 50.7 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. At the same time, the capital and financial account recorded a positive balance of euro 448.9 million. The annual decline of 17.3 percent was mainly driven by the decrease of the capital account balance in this period. 48 |
CBK Annual Report 2010 3.4.1 Current account The negative trade balance of the goods account remains the main cause for the high current account deficit.
