Supervision Annual Report
A. SUPERVISION MISSION
The supervisory function of the Bank of Albania, as the central bank of the
country, is carried out pursuant to the Law “On the Bank of Albania”, No.
8269 of 23/12/1997 and the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”,
No. 9662 of 18/12/2006.
The Bank of Albania, in compliance with its legal responsibilities as the
supervisory authority of banks and other financial institutions licensed by the
central bank to carry out financial activity:
•
Aims at ensuring a sound banking activity, by drafting and implementing
policies and an appropriate and flexible regulatory framework, in line
with the country’s development dynamics to safeguard the soundness
of banks and the stability of the banking system and beyond, as well
as to prevent financial crises and protect depositors;
•
Affects the stability of the banking system and beyond, by monitoring
market developments and recommending necessary measures for
supervised entities to adapt to such developments and be constantly
managed according to the best practices;
•
Promotes market discipline, by requiring enhanced transparency about
banking and financial products, and services;
•
Promotes a fair competition among supervised entities and aims at
ensuring equal treatment of licensed entities and their customers,
in compliance with relevant supervisory policies and effective rules.
In this context, it is guided by the principle that the same types of
financial risks and other issues relevant to regulation are subject to the
same rules across all segments of the financial market to reduce the
potential for regulatory arbitrage.
The Bank of Albania fulfils its supervisory function by:
a) Setting up and constantly improving the regulatory and supervisory
framework, so that it is in line with the European directives for effective
supervision, the country’s specifics, and the best practices;
Bank of Albania

2011
Supervision Annual Report
b)Regulating the entry into the market of potential banks, shareholders
and administrators that have a good reputation based on verifiable
and reliable sources of information;
c) Conducting a proactive and effective supervision, by implementing
principles of risk-based supervision through on-site examinations and
off-site supervisory analysis, on an ongoing basis, of licensed entities’
indicators, and through corrective measures necessary to address
supervisory concerns;
d) Cooperating with supervised entities, other domestic financial
institutions, foreign supervisory authorities, and foreign banks operating
in the Republic of Albania through their branches or subsidiaries;
In meeting its supervisory function requirements, the Bank of Albania strives
for the highest level of integrity, professionalism, efficiency, transparency and
constant improvement of its supervisory capacities.

B. SUPERVISION IN 2011; IMPLEMENTING THE
MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF
BANKING SUPERVISION FOR 2009-2014
Supervision further consolidated its risk-based approach in 2011, pursuant to
the medium-term development strategy of banking supervision. It focused on
addressing important challenges generated from domestic and international
economic developments that posed additional risks to the Albanian banking
system. The euro-area situation continued to exert pressure on both
performance of the financial system and paces of the real-economy growth
in the continent. The country’s economic growth also slowed down, reflecting
these developments, hence impairing the banking activity.
These developments have clearly revealed the necessity for a proactive
approach to banking supervision, so as to increase the banking system’s
resilience to negative impacts generated from the external environment, hence
safeguarding Albania’s financial stability. As a result, a prudential analytical
process examining rigorously the external impacts on our banking system has
helped inform the banking supervision. This process has taken into account a
wide spectrum of variables related to the external environment, including, inter
alia, the performance of the euro-area situation, position of large banking
groups operating in Albania, regulatory and supervisory measures taken by
the European Union authorities and counterparty supervision authorities, as
well as any other relevant developments. All the information has been factored
into likely scenarios on future developments and the prognosis of their effects,
hence contributing to timely focussing of both on-site and off-site supervision
on more critical risks and areas of activity. In this framework, the Bank of
Albania - through its supervisory function in general, and the Supervision
Department in particular, has played a key role in maintaining the banking
system soundness, by introducing and adopting necessary supervisory, legal
and regulatory measures in response to identified risks.
This approach is used to address systemic issues - developments that
transversally affect the whole banking system - and to make a micro-prudential
supervision focusing on specific concerns of individual financial institutions.
With a view to address systemic risks, an amendment was made to the Law
“On Banks in the Republic of Albania”, proposed by the Bank of Albania
and providing the latter with broader competencies to manage systemic
risk situations. Also, the macro-prudential approach to banking system
developments led to several regulatory improvements along the year.

2011
Supervision Annual Report
On the other hand, specific issues of individual banks were addressed, by
prudentially analysing the risk profile of each bank, focusing the supervisory
process on risk areas that have a material impact on the bank’s financial
health. This has led to a more efficient use of resources, hence determining
the nature of on-site examinations conducted over 2011.
Throughout the year, the entire supervisory process laid emphasis on the
promotion and taking of measures for enhancing responsibility, rigorously
managing banking system risks, and observing prudential norms set by the Bank
of Albania. In the light of this, both supervisors and banks focused their efforts on
strengthening credit and liquidity risk management processes, as well as on good
capitalisation to hedge against those risks, as required by the Bank of Albania. A
dialogue with the banking system was an important element in sharing attitudes
about developments and preparing more effective measures in response to them,
thus juxtaposing the supervisory approach versus the market approach. This
dialogue aimed at encouraging banks to take an active role in mitigating and
preventing risks, going beyond mere compliance with the regulatory framework.
This philosophy of supervision is based on key elements of the medium-term
supervision development strategy, further development of human resources,
the methodology and regulatory framework, and close cooperation with
international authorities. The following sections address each element, while
the report provides details on supervision and banking system developments
over 2011, by area of activity and relevant risks.
HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT
Human resources development continued in 2011, including hiring new staff
in line with the organisational structure needs and expanding training to the
whole staff, taking care that the adoption of new supervision methodologies
is associated with the building of necessary capacities to use them efficiently
during the supervisory process.
METHODOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
The work for a thorough reviewing of examination manuals intensified in
2011, by furthering the adoption of modern supervision concepts based on
relevant European standards, perfecting the relevant risk assessment systems
and properly structuring the criteria of exercising the supervisory competencies
in line with the second pillar of Basel II.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND APPROXIMATION
WITH EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVES
Ongoing approximation of regulations with European standards remains an
important goal to achieve harmonisation with the European experience. In
10
Bank of Albania
2011
Supervision Annual Report
this regard, a great attention has been paid to continuing the work for drafting
a new regulation on capital adequacy, a major project having started since
2010. The Bank of Albania has cautiously attended the latest tendencies in
the field of regulation, hence responding to global market developments and
at the same time, starting the work for improving the framework of banks’
responsible management, a fundamental condition to ensure a stable and
sound banking system.
COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITIES
In 2011, the work for implementing the banking supervision development
strategy was associated with an intensive cooperation with the Bank of Italy
under the Twinning Project that had started since end-2010, on the project
areas, which include on-site and off-site supervision, regulation and reporting,
and the information technology. Also, the Bank of Albania continued its close
cooperation with other international institutions, including the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to comprehensively strengthen the
supervisory capacities and to flexibly respond to impacts stemming from recent
global financial market developments. The year 2011 was characterised by
a higher cooperation and coordination of work with the USAID, under its
financial sector development program in Albania, implemented by the FSVC.
The cooperation with this institution is regarded as long-term and extends
until 2015. Also, a detailed analysis of the current staff needs for assistance
has identified a wide range of topics to be addressed according to a detailed
schedule, aiming at expanding their knowledge in view of human capacity
development.

C. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND LICENSING
PROCESS
1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
In 2011, the work for finalizing several new regulations and amendments
on banking supervision continued. The process for reviewing the supervisory
regulatory framework took place in line with the Basel Committee standards,
EU directives and best practices in banking regulation and development in the
Albanian banking system.
1.1 NEW REGULATIONS RELEVANT TO BANKING
SUPERVISION
Regulation “On operational risk management” (approved by decision No. 03
of 19/01/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) sets out the rules
and qualitative requirements on operational risk management in the activity
of banks and branches of foreign banks, non-bank financial institutions, as
well as savings and loan associations and their unions. Drafting the new
regulation was out of necessity to handle operational risks, i.e., to manage
this specific risk category present in all operations, and in banking and/or
financial products.
Regulation “On minimum security requirements where banking and financial
activities are conducted” (approved by decision No. 04, dated 19/01/2011
of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) is a thorough reviewing of the
previous regulation. It was driven by continuous requests submitted by the
Banker’s Association for easing the detailed technical specifications under the
existing regulation, the problems arising from licensed entities and the so-far
experience in the process of their supervision. The reviewed regulation sets
out the minimum security requirements for institutions licensed by the Bank of
Albania to exercise banking and financial activities, aiming at their smooth
and secure operation.
Regulation “On certified bank auditor” (approved by decision No. 42,
dated 15/06/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council), a complete
reviewing of the existing regulation, is aimed at aligning this regulation with
the new requirements of the Law “On Banks” and the Law “On Legal Audit”.
12
Bank of Albania
2011
Supervision Annual Report
The reviewed regulation sets out the criteria and procedures for approving a
certified auditor by the Bank of Albania, the audit content for the purposes of
the Bank of Albania, and the relations between certified auditors of banks and
foreign bank branches, and the Bank of Albania.
Regulation “On credit risk management” (approved by decision No. 62,
dated 14/09/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) sets out the
rules for credit risk management in banks and foreign bank branches, the
criteria for risk assessment, loan classification and other assets, as well as the
calculation of respective provisions. The reviewing of this regulation arouse
from the need to review the loan classification criteria so as to simplify them
and focus on those criteria that relate to primary source of liability settlement.
Also, it stipulates credit risk mitigation techniques, providing details on
financial guarantees and collaterals that the supervisory authority will initially
recognise as exposure reduction techniques – an important part of the credit
risk management process.
AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
Amendments to the Regulation “On consumer credit and mortgage to
households” and Regulation “On transparency for banking and financial
products and services” (approved by decision No. 13 and 14, dated
09/03/2011 by the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) aimed at
strengthening the requirements of the supervisory authority on: a) transparency
about fees and methodology of their calculation; b) keeping the interest rate
calculation methodology unchanged over the loan duration; c) periodic
reporting by institutions on loan and deposit interest rates and applicable
fees for all products and services; and d) their publication by the Bank of
Albania; e) including maximum compensation limits in the event of early loan
repayment, etc;
Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing and activity of banks and
branches of foreign banks in the Republic of Albania” (approved by decision
No. 33, dated 11/05/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council),
aimed to include the service of safety boxes as a financial activity that banks
and branches of foreign banks in the Republic of Albania may conduct
conform to stipulations of the Civil Code of the Republic of Albania;
Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing and activity of non-bank
financial institutions” (approved by decision No. 43, dated 15/06/2011 of
the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) pertain to exempting the banks
and branches of foreign banks from the requirements of this regulation for
approval of money transfer services, when the entities have been licensed for
payment and money transfer services;
Amendments to the Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio” (approved by
decision No. 63, dated 14/09/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory
Council) pertain to stipulating requirements for banks to weight the risk
Bank of Albania
13

Supervision Annual Report
coefficient to 150 per cent of the loan in the event of lending beyond the
territory of their business and when they lack the presence of a subsidiary,
branch or agency, an activity that carries over potential risks compared to
lending within the territory of the Republic of Albania;
Amendments to the Regulation “On liquidity risk management” (approved by
decision No. 75, dated 26/10/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council)
pertain to taking preventive measures against negative impacts from recent
developments in the region on Albania’s banking system and stability, stipulating
prudential requirements for banks, in particular for quantitative indicators;
The decision “On an addition to banking activities” (approved by decision
81, dated 14/12/2011) was repealed on the grounds that it is a bylaw that
has lost its legal basis and actuality, since financial activities that may be
exercised by banks and/or branches of foreign banks are currently stipulated
comprehensively in the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”.
Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing, organisation, activity and
supervision of foreign exchange bureaus” approved by decision No. 82,
dated 14/12/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council, pertain to
several corrections and additions to technical conditions and other terms,
which have arisen during on-site examinations over these institutions.
2. LICENCING
2.1 GRANTING A LICENCE, PRELIMINARY APPROVAL
The Law No. 8269, dated 23/12/1997 “On the Bank of Albania”, amended,
the Law No. 9662, dated 18/12/2006 “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”,
amended (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Banks, for simplicity) and
the regulatory framework provide the Bank of Albania with the authority and
responsibility to license and supervise the entities conducting banking and
financial business in the Republic of Albania.
The purpose of licensing as a means of supervision is to conduct a safe and
sound activity of financial and banking entities, with an immediate objective
to prevent any activities that may negatively impact on their functioning in the
system.
Through the licensing and preliminary approval, the Bank of Albania may
control financial operations and transactions of banks and non-bank
financial institutions in accordance with the requirements for an effective legal
framework. The licensing as a means of supervision carries out two functions:
•
•
14
Early detection and prevention of decisions and transactions that may
provide a negative impact on future operations of banks and nonbank financial entities; and
Implementation of supervisory measures by licensed entities.

According to the Law on Banks, the Bank of Albania is the licensing and
supervising authority for banks, non-bank financial institutions, savings-loan
associations and their unions, and foreign exchange bureaus. Pursuant to the
Law “On Banks” and the regulatory framework, the Bank of Albania takes
decisions related, inter alia, to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Granting or revoking a licence to banks, non-bank financial institutions,
savings and loans associations and their unions, and foreign exchange
bureaus;
Preliminary approval for carrying out additional financial activities not
included in the bank licence annex, by banks and non-bank financial
institutions;
Preliminary approval for transferring the ownership of a qualifying
holding, or the control of a bank/financial institution to a third party;
Preliminary approval for increasing the percentage of a shareholder
with qualifying holding exceeding 20, 33 or 50% of the bank’s capital;
Preliminary approval for managers of banks and non-bank financial
institutions;
Preliminary approval for the expansion of a bank’s network;

•
Preliminary approval for money transfer agents acting for the account
of non-bank financial institutions licensed by the Bank of Albania;
Bank notifications.
In 2011, licensing consisted in granting a new licence to non-bank financial
institutions and to foreign exchange bureaus. Specifically, in 2011, three
associations applied to operate as non-bank financial institutions and
were granted a licence by the Bank of Albania. They are: M-Pay Ltd., and
Omnifactor Ltd., which provide, respectively, money services and money
transfers (M-Pay) and factoring (Omnifactor). As at end-2011, the number
of non-bank financial institutions was 19. In April 2012, a licence to conduct
factoring was granted to “ZIG FACTORING” Ltd., taking the number of nonbank institutions operating in this area to three.
Pursuing the trend observed over the past years, in 2011, banks and non-bank
financial institutions applied for expanding their activity and for providing
new financial and banking products and services. More specifically, during
2011, the Tirana Bank, Credins Bank, Branch of Alpha Bank-Albania, Société
Générale Bank Albania, and AK-INVEST - a non-bank financial institution applied for the Bank of Albania’s consent to carry out financial activities not
included in the licence annex. These activities consist mainly in:
a)Lending (AK-INVEST);
b)Trading for the account of banks or for the account of clients, whether
on a foreign exchange, in an over-the-counter market (OTC), or
otherwise the following:
a. Derivative instruments, included but not limited to futures and options;
b.Transferrable securities;
c. other negotiable instruments and financial assets, including transactions
in gold;
d.Intermediation in monetary transactions for compensating and
managing assets, such as cash or portfolio management, fund
management, custodial, depository and trust services;
e.Provision of guarantees and receipt of commitments.
These activities affect the development of the Albanian financial market,
mainly by trading financial instruments of interest to financial institutions and
their clients. Adding activities to banks and non-bank financial institutions is
aimed at diversifying their products and services, and providing opportunities
to their clients for more savings investment options, other than the conventional
ones. This expanded banking and financial scope enhances competition in
the banking and financial sector by offering more attractive products and
services.
Electronic banking products have been implemented by almost all banks
(14 banks altogether), which have now entered a new phase that consists
in upgrading them technologically and providing a variety of services to
16

clients. We would mention here the Credins Bank,
which was the first to apply and receive the Bank of
Albania’s consent for using pre-paid cards, thereby
meeting the additional needs of certain customer
segments. Moreover, the market is completed with
electronic banking services.
In 2011, the VisionFund Albania Ltd., - a non-bank
financial institution – submitted an application to
the Bank of Albania for transferring the ownership
of its partner’s qualifying holding to a third party
and the Bank of Albania granted its consent.
The Bank of Albania granted its preliminary approval
for increasing the percentage of the shareholder’s
qualifying holding in the Credins Bank and the
National Commercial Bank, exceeding 20% and
50% of the capital, respectively.
The Bank of Albania granted its preliminary
approval to 61 applications by banks and 4
applications by non-bank financial institutions,
for administrators appointed pursuant to the Law
“On Banks in the Republic of Albania”. Approval
of new administrators was granted for 20 steering
committee members, 7 audit committee members,
3 general directors, 2 deputy general directors,
29 heads of departments/divisions/directories
and 4 directors (managers) of non-bank financial
institutions.
Expansion of the banks’ network within the country
continued in 2011, pursuing the low rates observed
over the past two years. As at end-2011, there
were 528 branches and agencies of foreign banks
operating within the territory of the Republic of
Albania, and one branch operating abroad.

The banking system has responded to rapid
urbanization of cities and their suburban areas and
to the awareness of people to carry out financial
transactions through banking channels, by
providing access to clients through establishment
of bank branches and agencies across the country.
Chart 3 shows that the largest concentration of bank
branches and agencies is in Tirana (40%), which

Further development of the Albanian financial
market and the rules applied by the Bank of Albania
to curtail informal economy were accompanied by a
rising number of applications submitted by various
entities for opening foreign exchange bureaus
throughout the country. It is worth mentioning that
the number of applications, compared to the effect
of rapidly increased number of foreign exchange
bureaus licensed over the past years, is lower,
with 19 newly licensed foreign exchange bureaus.
Of the the period 19991-2011, when the foreign
exchange activity has been carried out by entities
licensed by the Bank of Albania, the year 2008 hit
record highs as regards new entries in the foreign
exchange market, with 77 new licences, while the
year 2011 represents a decline in it.
Aiming at further easing the licensing procedure
for a foreign exchange bureau, at end-2011,
several new amendments and alterations were
made to the relevant regulation. They consisted
in both reviewing the documentation to further
reduce it and easing the examination process
of their operational conditions to shorten the
licensing terms. This regulation entered into force
on February 2012.
During 2011, the Bank of Albania granted a
licence to all of the submitted applications. Foreign

exchange bureaus are licensed according to related
criteria and are located and operate across 24
major cities of Albania. In terms of their geographical distribution by district,
they are mostly concentrated in Tirana. Compared with the past years, the
year 2011 highlighted a slight increase (by only 0.1%) in the total number
of foreign exchange bureaus opened in Tirana, as a result of distribution of
foreign exchange bureaus in other districts of the country.

In 2011, two licences for foreign exchange bureaus were revoked at their own
request.
An important part of activity of many foreign exchange bureaus is their
operating as money transfer agents for the account of two financial institutions
licensed by the Bank of Albania, i.e., for AK-INVEST and Financial Union
of Tirana. This process, which started in 2009, pursuant to the requirement
for formalising the money-transfer market by approving agents of non-bank
financial institutions that carry out money transfer operations for their account,
is already complete. Though various entities have submitted their applications
for carrying out this activity, the increase remains modest. As at end-2011, the
number of money transfer agents approved by the Bank of Albania to operate
for the account of non-bank financial institutions (AK-Invest and Financial
Union of Tirana) totalled 246.

In 2011, 14 granted approvals were revoked. The requests for licence
revocation were made by the approved entities, as well as by the Financial Union
of Tirana and AK-Invest. Also, there were neither any licence applications, nor
any licence revocation requests by savings and loan associations. Hence, as at
end-2011, there are 2 unions of savings and loan associations, 124 savings
and loan associations that are members of their unions, and 2 independent
savings and loan associations.
The following structural changes in bank ownership consist in changing the
qualifying holding to bank shareholders’ equity. No approval by the Bank of
Albania is required for such changes; however, the Law on Banks requires
the entities to notify the Bank of Albania of them. More specifically, the Intesa
Sanpaolo Bank Albania and the Credins Bank reported changes in their
shareholders’ equity structure, while the Emporiki Bank-Albania, Union Bank,
National Commercial Bank, Alpha Bank-Albania, Credins Bank, Veneto Bank
and First Investment Bank increased their equity through cash injected by
their shareholders or through capitalization of their past years’ profits. Also,
in 2011, three non-bank financial institutions increased their equity through
cash injected by their shareholders or through capitalization of their past
years’ accumulated profits. More specifically, Tirana Leasing, Besa Fund and
NOA notified of their equity growth.
Cooperation with foreign authorities continued in 2011.The licensing office
continued communicating with relevant authorities from other central banks
on the reputation of foreign administrators proposed by banks. Also, regular
contacts were kept and reciprocal information was shared with domestic
authorities.

The expanded network of bank branches and agencies and the increased
number of their employees has led to significantly improved access to and
use of banking services, as well as to improved quality of their provision.
However, the average number of people per bank, banking unit and bank
employee was downward due to a higher number of bank branches, agencies
and employees in 2011 (Table 6).

D. PERFORMANCE AND RISK ANALYSIS OF THE
BANKING SYSTEM AND NON-BANK FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS
1. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
During 2011, the country’s economy was characterized by a positive but slow
growth, slightly stimulating fiscal policy, relatively stable exchange rate, lower
risk premium and weak demand-generated inflationary pressures. Despite
the positive economic growth rate, the Albanian economy remained below
its potential; the average annual inflation fluctuated around the Bank of
Albania’s target and the main macroeconomic balances fluctuated around
the previous year’s levels.
Global economic growth slowed down in 2011. The European public debt
crisis and its impact on the overall climate of confidence among investors and
in the financial markets contributed significantly to the slowdown. Economic
weakening in industrialized countries conditioned the overall global economic
performance by affecting the external demand of the developing countries,
whose exports are an important driver of growth.
Albanian economy expanded by 3.1% in 2011. It continued to be supported
by external demand, albeit to a small extent, reflecting the global economic
slowdown. Domestic demand was sluggish and was formed mainly from the
fiscal sector’s contribution in the first half of the year. The economic growth
structure was balanced due to impact from production and services sectors.
Private sector credit continued to support the economic growth. A better
liquidity situation, improved health of bank balance sheets and downward
trend of borrowing costs have favoured the growth of credit to the economy
along the year. Credit to the economy increased in both segments - business
loans and household loans. However, the demand for loans remained weak
due to slowing economic activity, the uncertainty surrounding the economic
outlook and the banks’ reluctance to lend.
The Bank of Albania moved the key interest rate three times in 2011, to 4.75%.
Of these moves, it increased in March, and was lowered in September and
November. Subsequently, the interbank borrowing rates reflected these moves.
Hence, the average interbank rate performed in line with the monetary policy
signal. Overall, the national-currency borrowing cost followed a downward
trajectory, with a tendency to increase lending in the national currency.

Bank of Albania
2011
Supervision Annual Report
However, on a year earlier, demand for financing and deposit interest rates
resulted lower but attractive for collecting lek and foreign currency savings.
2. BANKING SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS
The year 2011 was characterised by fairly positive developments in lending. The
banking system continued lending to domestic economy, with a significantly
higher pace of loan portfolio growth than in the previous year.
Though credit risk in the system appears higher against the background of
increased non-performing loans, the maintaining of a good level of bank
capital adequacy ratio signifies that the overall risk level remains in check.
This indicator exceeded significantly the 12% regulatory minimum threshold.
Banks’ capitalisation was supported by their capital injections in response
to increased non-performing loans, hence leading to a decreased banking
system profit.
Banking system highlights in 2011
1. Total outstanding credit of the banking system increased by 15.3%, significantly higher on a year earlier (9.1% in 2010);
2. Gross non-performing loans to gross loan portfolio deteriorated to
18.77% in 2011, from 13.96% in 2010;
3.Loan loss provisioning remained at a good level, reflecting almost the
same pace of increase as in non-performing loans, recording 51.8%
in 2011, from 52.7% in 2010;
4. Capital adequacy ratio is above the 12% regulatory minimum
threshold, almost similar to the previous year’s figure, slightly up, to
15.6%, from 15.4% as at end-2010;
5.The banking system net profit is positive, to ALL 706.3 million,
though lower on a year earlier due to increased expenses and loan
provisions and decreased income from other operations;
6. RoAA and RoAE – profitability indicators – remained positive, to 0.07
and 0.76%, respectively, though slightly downward on a year earlier
due to decreased net profit.
3. BANKING SYSTEM STRUCTURE
3.1 EQUITY OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
Banking system’s paid-in capital increased by ALL 12.5 billion in 2011,
or 16.8% from 2010. Foreign capital continued to provide the major
contribution, accounting for 94.7% of the system’s growth. Foreign capital
increased by ALL 11.9 billion, or 17.2%, while Albanian capital increased
by ALL 670 million, or 12% from 2010. As a result, the share of foreign

In 2011, similar to the previous two years, the
network of branches and agencies operating in the
country expanded at low rates. Hence, the number
of branches and agencies operating in the country
reached 534, from 529 as at end-2010, while one
branch conducts its activity outside the territory of
the Republic of Albania.
3.3 ASSET AND LIABILITY STRUCTURE
3.3.1 Asset and liability structure
Total banking system assets increased by ALL 129.5 billion in 2011, or
13.1%, exceeding the previous year’s pace of increase (which was ALL 104.3
billion, or 11.8% in 2010). The loan portfolio increased significantly from the
previous year, up by ALL 75.3 billion or 15.3%, from up by ALL 40.9 billion
or 9.1% in 2010.
The degree of banking system intermediation in the economy and the
contribution of lending continued to pick up in line with the recent years’
trend, reflected in a higher share of total assets and loans to Gross Domestic
Product. As at end-2011, they were 84.6% and 42.8%, respectively, from
81.0% and 40.1% in the previous year.

In 2011, off-balance sheet items increased their share in total assets, to 103%,
from 89.7% as at end-2010. It was due to a higher increase in off-balance
sheet items (29.8%) than in total assets (13.1%).
As shown in Table 12, the main off-balance sheet items increased in 2011,
while financing commitments declined.
Commitments received make up the largest share in off-balance sheet
items, accounting for 90.3%, while commitments given and foreign currency
transactions account for 6.6% and 3%, respectively, of the total. Commitments
received in the form of guarantees in favour of customers continue to maintain
a dominant share in off-balance sheet items, about 85.8%.

As at end-2011, the loan portfolio structure by economy sectors (referring only
to resident customers) did not undergo any significant changes compared to
the previous year. Trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances had
the largest concentration of loans, followed by the construction sector and the
processing industry. In absolute terms, ‘trade, repair of vehicles and household
appliances’, ‘production and distribution of electricity, gas and water’, and
‘processing industry’ are the economy sectors with the largest annual growth.
In terms of the system-wide share and loan quality by economy sectors, it
appears that construction sector holds the highest level of NPLs, followed by
processing industry, trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances.

Concerning the loan quality by borrower, business non-performing loans
increased at higher rates than household non-performing loans. As at end2011, business non-performing loan ratio stood at 20.8%, while household
non-performing loan ratio stood at 15.8%.
The analysis of the business loan portfolio quality, based on the level of nonperforming loans by sectors of economy combined with the specific share of
the sector in total business portfolio, shows that the sectors of trade, repair
of vehicles and household appliances, construction, processing industry and
hotels and restaurants6 appear the most problematic in the economy.

currency shows a higher non-performing loan ratio estimated at 19.6%
compared to that in the Albanian lek, which stands at 16.9%.
Within the loan portfolio denominated in foreign currency, classified as
unhedged against exchange rate risk, non-performing loans account for
18.89% of the total. During December 2010 – December 2011, foreign
currency non-performing loans unhedged against exchange rate risk increased
by 6.34 percentage points.
Euro non-performing loans unhedged against
exchange rate risk accounted for 20.3% in
2011, up 6.69 percentage points. For the same
period, euro’s exchange rate, on quarterly basis,
was volatile, thus weakening the direct linkage
between the exchange rate performance and nonperforming loans.
US dollar non-performing loans unhedged against
exchange rate risk accounted for 9.95%, up by
about 3.45 percentage points. Similiar to euro’s
exchange rate, US dollar’s exchange rate, on
quarterly basis, was constantly volatile.

Despite the above-mentioned developments, which indicate a high level of
non-performing loans, the stress test analyses carried out by the Bank of
Albania show that the banking system enjoys buoyant capital, sufficient to
cover a considerable level of losses arising from risks to lending and other
activities.
4.2 LIQUIDITY RISK
The banking system was characterized by an adequate level of liquidity in
2011. Liquidity in the system displayed a rising trend also due to the regulatory
amendments that became effective at end-2011. The improved liquidity
situation can be also viewed in terms of proportionality between currencies.
The Albanian banking system has, in the recent years, been characterized by
liquidity excess in the national currency versus a lower share of liquid reserves
denominated in foreign currency. This trend, however, seems to have shifted
in 2011. In December 2011, foreign currency liquidity increased its share in
total liquid assets in the system.

Customer deposits remain the main and most
stable source of financing for the Albanian banking
system. As at end-2011, customer deposits in the
system amounted to ALL 924 billion. Deposits in the
system grew in 2011, albeit slightly lower (13%) than
in 2010. Similar to 2010, deposits denominated in
foreign currency contributed the most to this growth.
In terms of currency, the share of deposits has
now balanced, displaying higher proportionality
between deposits denominated in the Albanian
lek and foreign currency. More specifically, as at
December 2011, foreign currency-denominated
deposits accounted for 49.9% and lek deposits for
50.1% of total deposits.

Household deposits continue to have the largest
share in total customer deposits in the Albanian banking system. The growth
of household deposits was more pronounced over the year under review,
accounting for the largest part of total deposit growth. On the other hand,
remaining maturity increased slightly in 2011. As at end-December 2011,
deposits maturing within one month accounted for 32% of total deposits,

tradable securities and non-resident placements, similar restraints were
also set on investments in the form of deposits or current accounts, lending
to non-resident institutions and investment securities, for non-resident
counterparties. A haircut system was applied on these instruments, based on
the counterparty ratings assigned by the international rating agencies. These
amendments also consisted in the increase of the minimum liquid assets
to short-term liabilities ratio from 20% to 25% and the beginning of the
application of two separate thresholds on this ratio for the Albanian lek and
foreign currency. Banks responded swiftly to the Bank of Albania’s decision
by increasing their liquidity. All banks observed the new regulatory threshold
on this ratio of 25%.
As at end-December 2011, liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio stood
at 33.1% compared to 30.6% in 2010. This ratio in Lek was estimated at
43%, similar to the previous year, while that in foreign currency stood at 23%,
compared to 18% at end-2010. The higher ratio is entirely attributed to the
increase in the foreign currency ratio due to the measures taken by banks in
order to observe the new regulatory threshold of the liquid assets to short-term
liabilities ratio by currency, since December 2011 was also the first period
when the new minimum regulatory ratio of 20% in foreign currency had to be
observed by the banks in the system.

Supervision Annual Report
Up to 3-month asset-liability mismatch remains negative at ALL 114 billion
or 9% of total assets. This gap, albeit negative, narrowed compared to the
previous year’s level of 14%, thereby providing evidence for the improved
liquidity figures in the banking system at the end of the year.
4.2.5 Lending from Non-Resident Banks and Financial Institutions
Lending from parent banks or other non-resident financial institutions
represents one of the financial sources for some banks in the Albanian
banking system. The amount of this type of financing continued to fall slightly
compared to the previous year. Both in absolute and relative terms, this type
of financing accounted for about 2% of total assets in the system, compared
to 2.5% in December 2010. Expressed differently, these sources account for
about 4.6% of total banks’ assets being financed through them.
In addition, some of the banks in the Albanian system have been approved
by their parent banks credit lines that are still being unused and they are
recorded as off-balance sheet items. The possibility to use these credit lines, if
needed, is considered positive for the liquidity situation of these banks. Worth
noting is that the unused part of credit lines approved by parent banks in
2011 increased compared to the previous year to ALL 46.5 billion or 4.2% of
total assets in the system.
4.2.6 Loan-to-Deposit Ratio
The growth of deposits in 2011 was followed by a slightly higher growth
of outstanding loans. This led to an inconsiderable increase in loan-todeposit ratio, which pursued a stable trend in 2011. In December 2011,
loan-to-deposit ratio stood at 61%. This ratio shows higher figures for foreign
currency (83%) than for the Albanian lek (39%), thus reflecting the Albanian
banking system’s balance sheet structure. By currency, this ratio reflects the
growth of deposits denominated in foreign currency, combined with a more
moderate growth of outstanding loans in foreign currency during this period.
Consequently, loan-to-deposit ratio in foreign currency reduced, while that in
lek increased.

4.2.7 Interbank Market and Bank of Albania’s Financing
Banks in the Albanian banking system meet a part of their short-term needs
for liquidity through interbank transactions and liquidity injected by the Bank
of Albania through reverse repurchase agreements. The use of liquidity from
the central bank did not increase considerably in 2011. The share of the
average volume of liquidity injected by the Bank of Albania, mainly through
reverse repurchase agreements of one-week maturity, but also of one-month
and three-month maturity, accounts for about 2% of total liabilities in the
system, compared to 1.5% in 2010.
Financing from resident banks, albeit at a very low level of less than 1%,
continued in 2011 as well, providing evidence that banks resort to the
interbank market to distribute operational risk both in the Albanian lek and in
foreign currency.
4.3 MARKET RISK
Exposure to interest rate risk, measured through the repricing mismatch between
assets and liabilities of up to three months, amounted to ALL 51 billion, or
5.1% of earning assets. On a system level, this figure shows a low exposure
to interest rate change risk. For longer maturity terms, the exposure shows an
opposite direction and appears higher (ALL 79 billion); however, the stress test
exercises carried out for this type of risk show a moderate impact of this risk on
the banking sector’s capital adequacy. The share of these gaps by currency is
also relatively low, despite the wider gap in euro and in the Albanian lek.
On the other hand, the net open long position in the Albanian banking system
amounted to ALL 3.88 billion or 3.94% of the system’s regulatory capital. This
figure implies a low exposure of the Albanian banking system to exchange
rate risk compared to the maximum regulatory threshold of 30%. The low
exposure is also reflected in the stress test results on direct exchange rate risk.
The capital required to cover market risks accounts for only 2.2% of the
regulatory capital, while the total coverage of market and credit risks with
capital for the entire system is estimated at 128.6% compared to 126.5% in
2010 and the minimum total coverage rate of 100%.
4.4 OPERATIONAL RISK
The categorization and addressing of operational risk as an individual credit
risk and as an integral part of the supervisory function of the Bank of Albania
materialized as from January 2010, with the entry into force of the new
organizational structure of the Supervision Department. This step was made
in the framework of the convergence towards international approach to this
type of risk (Basel II), where operational risk represents one of the main three
risks banking institutions are exposed to.
Bank of Albania
39
2011
Supervision Annual Report
The work started in 2010 to develop supervisory tools for the assessment
of operational risk as an individual risk category7 continued during 2011.
The approval8 and entry into force of the Bank of Albania Regulation “On
Operational Risk Management” in February 2011 has raised the attention in
the banking and financial system for this type of risk. By providing its definition,
the minimum organizational conditions and establishment of a reporting
system at the Bank of Albania, the Regulation in question aims at ensuring
a proactive supervision of operational risk in the system. Worth mentioning
is the meeting held between the Albanian Association of Banks and Bank of
Albania representatives to discuss unclear issues related to the requirements
stemming from the Regulation “On Operational Risk Management”. This
meeting sought and successfully managed to align the interpretations of parts
of the Regulation and the reporting requirements under this Regulation.
The Twinning Project with Banca d’Italia was particularly important in 2011.
The cooperation on this particular type of risk aims at further developing the
methodology and supervisory tools of operational risk.
Through its on-site examinations and off-site surveillance carried out during
2011, the Bank of Albania noted a positive response of the banking system in
terms of the compliance with the new operational risk management standards.

Box Measuring the Capital Adequacy Ratio
Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) determines bank’s ability to meet the obligations
relative to its exposure to risks like credit risk, market risk and operational risk, in
due time. Put in simpler terms, the CAR serves as a “cushion” against losses and
protects bank depositors and lenders.
In order to calculate the CAR, the Supervisory Council of the Bank of Albania has
drafted and approved the Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio”.
Definitions:
CAR is the ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet
items, expressed as a percentage.
CAR = Regulatory capital / Risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items
Components:
The numerator in the ratio is represented by:
The bank’s regulatory capital, as calculated by the methodology described in the
Guideline “On bank’s regulatory capital”.
A bank’s regulatory capital consists of core capital and supplementary capital.
a)
•
•
b)
•
•
•
A bank’s core capital consists of:
Elements that are added (subscribed capital, reserves (other than revaluation
reserves), issue premiums, retained earnings, earnings at the end of the fiscal
year, earnings for the reporting period and credit revaluation difference).
Elements that are subtracted (subscribed capital unpaid, nominal value of
bank’s shares held by bank, retained losses, losses during the fiscal period,
debt revaluation difference and intangible fixed assets).
A bank’s supplementary capital consists of:
revaluation reserves;
general reserves; and
subordinated term/hybrid debt.
The denominator of the ratio consists of the following risk-weighted amounts:
-
Balance sheet assets;
-
Off-balance sheet items representing term financial instrument contracts
related to interest and exchange rates;
-
Other off-balance sheet items.
Balance sheet items and off-balance sheet items are not equally risk-weighted.
Based on the risk they pose, asset items and off-balance sheet items are assigned
a coefficient, which expresses the level of risk to the financial institution. Based on
the Bank of Albania’s Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio”9, banks risk-weight
asset items and off-balance sheet items as follows:
Assets:
- at no risk are weighted at 0%;
- at low risk are weighted at 20%;
- at medium risk are weighted at 50%;
- at high risk are weighted at 100% and 150%.
Off-balance sheet items:
- at low risk are weighted at 0%;
- at moderate risk are weighted at 20%;
- at medium risk are weighted at 50%;
- at high risk are weighted at 100%.

6. PROFITABILITY INDICATORS
6.1 NET PROFIT AND STRUCTURE
The banking system’s net profit for 2011 was reported positive at ALL 706.3
million, which is lower than the previous year’s net profit at ALL 6,715 million.
The lower profit owed mainly to the increase in loan loss provisions by about
ALL 6,800 million in 2011, which was not sufficiently covered by the increase
in net interest income, which rose by ALL 2,700 million in 2011.
The analysis of the main components of income and expenses shows that the
more moderate fall in net profit in the second half of 2011, compared to the
first half, owes mainly to the doubling of net interest income.
6.2 PROFITABILITY INDICATORS
The key profitability indicators, RoAA and RoAE fell in 2011. They, however,
remained positive at 0.07% and 0.76%, respectively. This was due to the
lower profit, while the increase in assets had a negligible impact.

As at end-2011, RoAA was estimated at 0.07%, the lowest figure in the last
five years. The sharp fall in income was highly driven by the high loan loss
provisions, which have a direct impact on the RoAA figure.
Tables 28 and 29 show the banking system’s profitability from the main
activity and the dynamics of the equilibrium between the collection of paying
liabilities and investment in earning assets.

Profitability indicators did not manifest significant changes compared to the

the NIM fell slightly in 2011 due to the higher growth rate (12.0%) of paying
liabilities compared to the increase in average earning assets by only 0.2%.

The banking system continued to be stable throughout 2011 in terms in
investment in earning assets and collection of paying liabilities. However, the
growth rate of earning assets was slightly lower than that of paying liabilities.
This dynamics is materialized in the relative values of the ratios, which
maintained almost a similar level throughout the year.
Table 30 shows the efficiency ratio, which stands at 62%. As shown by the
figures in the table, the more moderate increase in total expenses, coupled
with the sharper decline in operating income, reduced the efficiency ratio by
9 percentage points compared to end-2010.

As at end-December 2011, NBFIs’ loan portfolio amounted to ALL 20.04
billion, on a gross basis, accounting for 3.54% of the banking system’s
total loan portfolio, compared to 3.93% at end-2010. NBFIs’ loan portfolio
increased slightly by ALL 0.74 billion in 2011 or by about 3.83%, due to the
increase in the loan portfolio of financial leasing institutions by ALL 1.4 billion
or 17.95%, which managed to offset the contraction by ALL 0.65 billion in the
loan portfolio of lending and microcredit institutions.
Despite the contracted loan portfolio, over the one year period, lending and
microcredit NBFIs continued to make up the largest share in the loan portfolio,
accounting for 55.4% of the total, followed by financial leasing institutions,
44.5%, and factoring institutions, only 0.13% of the loan portfolio.
In contrast to the previous year, the analysis by currency shows that 53.9% of
NBFIs’ loan portfolio is in the Albanian lek, compared to 40.2% in December
2010. Within the loan portfolio of NBFIs, 98.56% of lending to the economy
through financial leasing is in foreign currency. By contrast, 96.54% of the
loan portfolio of lending and microcredit institutions is in the Albanian lek.
Concerning the structure of the loan portfolio by borrower, lending to
businesses continued to dominate in 2011, accounting for 90.1% of NBFIs’
lending. The rest, 9.9%, represents lending to households. The composition of
the loan portfolio by sectors of economy shows higher concentration in trade,
repair of vehicles and household appliances (25.5%), followed by agriculture,
hunting and forestry (11.4%) and construction (11.3%).
By maturity term, medium-term loans (1-5 years) have the largest share in
the loan portfolio, accounting for 75.2%, followed by short-term loans (up to
12 months) and long-term loans (over 5 years), which stand at almost similar
levels at 12.6% and 12.2%, respectively.

This was also reflected in the increase of gross non-performing loans, up 1.21
percentage points. The increase in loss loans provided the major contribution
by about ALL 0.15 billion.
7.1.3 Prudential Requirements
Pursuant to the effective legislation and regulatory framework, NBFIs report
on the observance of a set of prudential requirements applied to their activity.
NBFIs were well-capitalized in 2011 for the nature of the activities they
conduct. However, there were a few cases in 2011 when some lending and
microcredit NBFIs exceeded some of the prudential requirements, such as
those on credit risk management, maximum allowed exposure and allowable
open foreign currency position.
The situation has been monitored constantly by the Bank of Albania and
necessary measures have been recommended, in order for the NBFIs’ activity
to return to within the allowed prudential requirements within a short period
of time.
7.1.4 Profit of NBFIs
NBFIs registered a net positive profit of ALL 0.88 billion13 in 2011, hence
maintaining a similar profit level to the previous year. For the period under
review, 13 out of 19 NBFIs ended the financial year at profit. Worth noting
is that about 71% of the annual profit was made in the first half of 2011.
Payment and money transfer NBFIs provided the major contribution in terms
of profit, contributing by ALL 0.62 billion, followed by financial leasing NBFIs,
by ALL 0.23 billion, and lending and microcredit NBFIs, by ALL 0.03 billion.

E. ON-SITE SUPERVISION
1. ON-SITE EXAMINATIONS
On-site supervision is the main responsibility of Portfolio Management Office,
which is responsible for evaluating the risk profile of licensed institutions, in
co-operation with other risk-profiled sectors. The supervision of institutions
seeks to guarantee that they carry out their financial activity soundly and in
accordance with the legal, regulatory and supervisory framework requirements.
The work is organized by combining the examination needs based on the
supervisory cycle set by the supervision operational policy and the importance
of concerns identified in individual banks with the efficient use of available
human resources.
1.1 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS
The main purpose of on-site examinations carried out during 2011 was to
make a full assessment of banks’ risk profile. In addition, examinations were
initiated as a result of the emergence of specific phenomena in the licensed
institutions. During 2011, the Bank of Albania carried out 6 full-scope
examinations and 2 partial examinations of banking institutions.
Concerns related to adherence to regulations. The banking system has
generally operated in accordance with the legal, regulatory and supervisory
framework requirements. However, several weaknesses were identified in
terms of credit risk management practices, exposure to large risks, liquidity
risk, customer transparency, etc.
More specifically, several cases were identified in which the following
requirements were not observed:
•
Regulation “On the Management of Risk Arising from Banks’ Large
Exposures”. An excess of the 20% maximum allowed exposure of the
regulatory capital to a beneficiary, in the form of exposure through
lending or investment of funds in the form of deposits, was identified in
on-site examinations. In addition, the 10% threshold of the regulatory
capital for persons related to the bank and the maximum amount of
loans approved to these persons were not observed in a few cases.

51
2011
Supervision Annual Report
On-site examinations also identified that, in a few cases, banks did not
respect the responsible authority for the approval of loans in favour of
persons related to the bank.
•
Regulation “On Credit Risk Management”. On-site examinations
identified incorrect rating of loans and, consequently, insufficiency
of loan loss provisions. Frequently, the level of additional loan loss
provisions required during the examination has impacted banks’ net
profit and another key prudential ratio, the capital adequacy ratio. In
addition to the level of loan loss provisions, banks were recommended
to take measures to improve lending policies and procedures,
strengthen the analytical capacities of the bank’s risk structure, and
improve the analysis of borrower’s financial position during the loan
approval process.
•
Regulation “On Capital Adequacy Ratio”. The identified cases related
to the correct rating of asset items and their weighting in accordance
with the relevant risk category.
•
Regulation “On Basic Management Principles of Banks and Branches
of Foreign Banks and Criteria for the Approval of their Administrators”.
The identified cases related to the necessary documentation submitted
to the Bank of Albania for the preliminary approval of administrators.
•
Regulation “On Liquidity Risk Management”. The identified cases
related to the observance of the minimum liquid asset ratio. In addition
to the regulatory threshold, non-compliance was also identified in
banks’ internal policies and procedures for liquidity risk management.
In accordance with the Regulation “On Liquidity Risk Management”,
banks were required to make periodic stress test analyses, in order to
identify and measure the bank’s exposure to liquidity risk in normal
and extraordinary situations.
•
Regulation “On the Use of Information Technology and Communication
in Institutions Licensed by the Bank of Albania”. The identified cases
related to the improvement of the information technology and
communication risk assessment, including the classification of systems
and applications used and the identification of deficiencies and
possible threats, improvement of business continuity plans based on
the size and complexity of the institution, improvement of the archiving
procedure of the back-up copy related to its frequency and location,
improvement of bank’s internal regulatory framework, etc.
•
Regulation “On the Transparency of Banking and Financial Products
and Services” related to the reporting to the Bank of Albania and the
publication, in the bank’s premises, of the effective interest rate and
the accuracy of its calculation, as well as the change in the terms and
conditions of the contracts and/or provision of products and services.
Regulation “On Minimum Standards for Operational Risk Management”
•
52
Bank of Albania
2011

related to certain aspects of operational risk management, such as the
identification, monitoring and reporting to the responsible structures,
collection of data on operating losses and conduct of an annual selfassessment campaign.
•
Regulation “On Prevention of Money Laundering” related to the
classification of transactions by risk and application of due diligence.
•
Regulation “On Minimum Requirements for Information Disclosure by
Banks and Branches of Foreign Banks”.
•
Regulation “On the Functioning of Credit Registry at the Bank of
Albania” related to the accurate entry of data by files.
•
Regulation “On Foreign Exchange Activity” related to the accompanying
documentation of transfers.
1.2 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF NON-BANK INSTITUTIONS
During 2011, the Bank of Albania examined 5 non-bank financial institutions,
of which 3 conduct financial leasing, 1 conducts lending activity and 1
provides payment and money transfer services.
The examined financial leasing institutions were selected based on banks’
examination plan, pursuant to the regulatory requirements of consolidated
supervision. While the examination of the lending institution was based on the
level of risk and its organizational and decision-making developments.
Examinations mainly focused on the assessment of quality in financial leasing
and credit risk management processes. Particular focus was paid to the
adequacy of internal structures for supporting the activity and the assessment
of institutions’ financial performance and stability. Other important areas
included compliance with the regulatory framework related to the observance
of prudential requirements, public transparency, prevention of money
laundering, information and communication technology and operational risk.
Examinations identified the following main concerns:
•
Improvement of the lending process. A number of recommendations
were made to improve the analyses of borrowers’ solvency, the accurate
rating of the loan portfolio and the establishment of provisioning in
accordance with the Regulation “On the Management of Risk in the
Activity of Non-Bank Financial Institutions”.
•
Improvement of the internal regulatory framework. A number of
recommendations were made to review and improve the internal
regulatory framework in line with the internal structural developments
of non-bank institutions and in accordance with all the effective
Bank of Albania
53
2011
Supervision Annual Report
regulatory requirements. Improvements were mainly required to be
made in terms of establishing the criteria for the identification of
related parties and procedures for monitoring credit and improvement
of borrower’s financial statements. Non-bank institutions were also
recommended to formulate procedures for public transparency related
to customer complaints.
54
•
Non-compliance with the prudential and regulatory standards related
to large exposures to non-resident investments and excesses of
exposure to credit risk. Non-bank institutions were required to make a
plan to bring all the violated prudential standards back to within the
thresholds, in order to ensure a sound functioning of the activity.
•
Non-compliance with the requirements of the Regulation “On the
Management of Risk in the Activity of Non-Bank Financial Institutions”
related to the violation of the limit of open foreign currency position.
For the evidenced cases, measures were required in order to bring the
exposure back to the limit.
•
Non-reporting to the Bank of Albania in accordance with the Law “On
Accounting and Financial Statements” and international accounting
standards.
•
Incomplete public transparency related to the completion of contracts
with the NEI (Nominal Effective Interest Rate), inclusion of the credit
settlement plan as part of the leasing/credit contract, incomplete
information related to the risk of borrowing in foreign currency, the
methodology of interest rate calculation and announcement for their
change, publication of interest rates on loans and commissions on
products and services being offered.
•
Incomplete compliance with the regulatory requirements for the prevention
of money laundering. Non-bank institutions need to create the customers’
economic profile and categorize them by risk. They also need to improve
their policies further pursuant to the Instruction “Knowing the client”,
and their practical implementation; designate a person responsible for
the prevention of money laundering on an administrators’ level, and
formulate annual training plans and enhance their efficiency.
•
Information and communication technology and operational risk.
Examinations identified concerns related to the auditing of non-bank
institutions’ ICT from structures independent from those involved in
the operational processes, the need to review the users’ profiles and
divide the duties according to the processes, and develop a strategy
about the support that the information technology will provide in the
future. Concerning operational risk, necessary structures need to be
created to manage this type of risk and relevant procedures on how to
address this risk need to be developed.

1.3 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF THE ALBANIAN SAVINGS AND CREDIT
UNION
There are two Unions of Savings and Credit Associations operating in
Albania: the Albanian Savings and Credit Union (ASCU) and Jehona Union.
During 2011, the Bank of Albania examined the ASCU, which has the
largest share in the activity of savings and loan associations (about 98% of
total assets).
The examination identified some concerns mainly related to the development
stage of these institutions, the philosophy of their development and operation
(principles of volunteer ownership and management, principles of mutual
assistance rather than a desire to maximise profits etc.). Based on these
concerns, the Bank of Albania identified the needs for legal and regulatory
changes in order to ensure a more consolidated supervision of these entities
(comparable to that of banks, whose activity is very much similar). The Bank
of Albania has begun to work on formulating the relevant drafts.
2. PREVENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING AND
TRANSPARENCY
2.1 EXAMINATIONS DURING 2011
In addition to off-site surveillance, the Supervision Department has also carried
out on-site examinations on banks and non-bank financial institutions. During
2011, the Supervision Department examined 7 banks, 5 non-bank financial
institutions and 11 foreign exchange bureaus for the compliance with the
legal and regulatory framework, and transparency and prevention of money
laundering and financing of terrorism.
In addition, in order to verify the operational conditions of institutions applying
to carry out their activity in new premises or applying to be licensed by the
Bank of Albania pursuant to the provisions of Article 14, paragraph 7 of the
Regulation “On Licensing and Conduct of Activity of Banks and Branches of
Foreign Banks in the Republic of Albania”, and Article 18, paragraph 1 of
the Regulation “On Minimum Technical and Security Conditions of Premises
in which Banking and Financial Activity is Conducted”, the Bank of Albania
examined 30 foreign exchange bureaus during 2010.
2.2 BANKS AND NON-BANK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS’ COMPLIANCE
WITH THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK for the PREVENTION OF MONEY
LAUNDERING (PML), TRANSPARENCY AND SUPERVISORY STANDARDS
The banking system generally complied with the Bank of Albania’s regulatory
framework for the prevention of money laundering, transparency and
compliance with the supervisory standards. More specifically:
Bank of Albania
55
2011
Supervision Annual Report
2.2.1 Prevention of Money Laundering
With regard to the prevention of money laundering and fight against terrorism
financing, the Bank of Albania’s examinations found that the institutions have
taken preventive measures in view of:
•
Creating adequate structures and formulating internal policies and a
complete regulatory framework, reflecting the Law amendments and
the Guideline requirements;
•
Improving banks’ electronic systems in order to establish a functional
system for due diligence in relation to high-risk clients;
•
Organizing and participating in different trainings and seminars, in
order to introduce the bank employees to the risks facing this sector
in the area of money laundering and financing of terrorism and make
them aware of;
•
Significantly increasing the reporting of doubtful transactions, in
terms of number and quality, hence reflecting higher accountability
and improved disclosure, particularly from banks, in the fight against
financial crime;
•
Increasing the number of different typologies of reported cases,
reflecting a deeper analysis, related to the identification of doubtful
cases and, consequently, higher accountability in the fight against
financial crime.
Despite the measures taken by the examined institutions, the Bank of
Albania’s examinations identified some concerns which generally consisted
in the insufficiency of the effective risk management systems, particularly
for the categories of customers and transactions requiring due diligence;
concrete implementation of approved policies related to determining doubtful
elements and admitting customers; frequency and focus of internal controls
on the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism in relation
to due diligence; customer identification through identification documents
for amounts of no less than ALL 200.000 (for foreign exchange bureaus);
indicators of abnormality, etc.
In view of increasing the number and enhancing the quality of reporting
of doubtful activities, during 2011, the Bank of Albania engaged in close
cooperation with the General Directorate for the Prevention of Money
Laundering. This cooperation consisted in the conduct of joint examinations,
which focused on the categorization, identification of doubtful transactions
and activities, and more frequent trainings of these entities, in order to raise the
staff’s awareness and professionalism and further improve the identification of
doubtful activities.

2.2.2 Public Transparency
Transparency and information disclosure were one of the areas under reform
in 2011, both in terms of the regulatory framework and the steps required to
comply with the new requirements arising from these regulatory amendments.
The amendments to the Bank of Albania’s regulations on transparency,
approved in March 201115, were indispensable. They sought to create a more
adequate business climate for banks and higher public protection.
However, while certain areas like deposits and accounts, disclosure and
customer complaints are generally considered to be less problematic, loan
contracts need further improvement. Although the contents of a loan contract
are generally in accordance with the regulatory requirements in relation to
the included elements, the paragraph providing for the loan interest rate
remains problematic. A number of related complaints by bank customers
were submitted to the Bank of Albania in 2011. This concern has also been
the focus of the central bank’s examination of transparency and has pushed
the Bank of Albania to take measures in 2011, including in particular the
above-mentioned regulatory amendments.
In the meantime, banks were committed to complying with the new regulatory
requirements in the area of transparency and adopted their internal regulatory
framework in line with these amendments.
In the framework of the measures taken by the Bank of Albania, all banks
operating in the Republic of Albania have their official website that provides
information to the public.
In view of enhancing public transparency, in August 2011, the Bank of
Albania initiated the project for the standardization of banks’ reporting of
interest rates on loans and deposits, and commissions on banking products
and services. The testing process of reporting through the approved standard
forms of commissions and interest rates on loans and deposits began in the
third quarter of 2011. This process precedes the final publication of this
information on the Bank of Albania’s official website. The impact of this
project is expected to help and orient the consumers towards a better choice
that suits their financial conditions.
Concerning complaints, during 2011, the Supervision Department at the Bank
of Albania handled a number of complaints (about 30) about institutions
licensed and supervised by the Bank of Albania. In most cases, their solution
goes beyond the competences of the Bank of Albania as the bank-customer
relationship is regulated by written contracts and disputes arising from the
non-observance of their conditions are handled by the competent authority,
the Court. However, the raised concerns regarding institutions and customers
were handled duly.

The latest amendments to the Bank of Albania Regulations No. 5 of 11.02.2009 “On consumer
and mortgage lending to households” and No. 59 of 29.08.2008 “On the transparency for
banking and financial products and services”.
Bank of Albania
57
2011
Supervision Annual Report
Non-bank financial institutions have made satisfactory efforts to comply with
the Bank of Albania’s relevant regulatory requirements. However, on-site
examinations have identified concerns mainly related to the contents of loan
contracts; customer complaints’ management function and equipment of
customers with receipts (in the case of foreign exchange bureaus). The Bank
of Albania has, thereupon, made the relevant recommendations.
3. COOPERATION WITH OTHER AUTHORITIES
3.1 COOPERATION WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES
Cooperation with foreign authorities continued during 2011. Based on
cooperation agreements with several foreign supervisory authorities,
information on certain foreign banks operating in Albania has been prepared.
In addition, as a follow-up to the European Central Bank’s initiative for
the establishment of colleges of supervisors for all major European crossborder financial institutions in the EU, the Bank of Albania participated in the
colleges of supervisors hosted by the Bank of Greece during 2011. The Bank
of Albania has also held meetings with the Embassy of the United States of
America and has participated in training activities organized by the Spanish
Financial intelligence Unit, General Directorate for the Prevention of Money
Laundering (GDPML) and Albanian General Prosecutor’s Office.
3.2 COOPERATION WITH OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITIES
The Bank of Albania cooperated closely with the GDPML during 2011.
This cooperation did not only limit to the quarterly periodic reporting
to the GDPML on the implementation of the strategic document for the
investigation of financial crime, but it has also included a frequent exchange
of correspondence throughout the year between the Bank of Albania and the
GDPML. Worth noting here is the increase and efficiency of:
•
Joint examinations and activities in view of enhancing the supervisory
professional capacities and exchange of experience;
•
Trainings of entities in view of improving the operation of their relevant
activities and their compliance with the legal requirements;
•
Implementation of documents related to the strategy of fight against
organized crime, trafficking, terrorism etc.
During 2011, the Bank of Albania and the GDPML conducted 10 joint examinations
and 3 rounds of joint trainings in Tirana, Vlora, Shkodra, Durrës, etc.
On the other hand, there was an efficient cooperation with different institutions
monitoring specific activities of the financial market. The Bank of Albania
58
Bank of Albania
2011

has exchanged information and has carried out joint examinations with the
Albanian Financial Supervision Authority in insurance companies, in two
banks and one non-bank institution. The Bank of Albania has also cooperated
with the Albanian Competition Authority, mostly related to discussions and
exchange of correspondence on proposals and studies about the cost of
products and services provided by banks, which are addressed in the reports
of the Competition Authority.

F. CREDIT REGISTRY
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Year 2011, which marks the fourth year of the Credit Registry at the Bank
of Albania, was characterized by its enrichment with new institutions and a
wider range of products offered from the processing of Credit Registry data.
As at the end of 2011, a total of 725,265 loans were reported at the Credit
Registry, out of which 349,350 were active loans.
Given the entry of new financial institutions reporting their loan portfolio to
the Credit Registry, the number of loans reported to the system increased at
the end of 2011.

Five other financial institutions will have the possibility to access additional,
immediate and reliable information on clients that will help their decisionmaking on a given loan or assess their performance during the duration of
the loan.
The expansion of the Credit Registry with new institutions over the years is also
reflected in its higher use and access by the reporting institutions.

The information generated from the Credit Registry also helps the Bank of
Albania for analyses and on-site examination purposes. To this end, during
2011, the Bank of Albania widened the range of reports generated periodically
or occasionally in order to contribute to the credit risk supervision process at
optimal levels.
2. INCLUSION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
CONDUCTING FINANCIAL LEASING INTO THE CREDIT
REGISTRY
During 2011, the Credit Registry staff focused its efforts on checking if financial
institutions conducting financial leasing have met the requirements for joining the Credit Registry.
As at end-2011, 26 banking and financial institutions reported data on their
borrowers to the Credit Registry. The following new institutions conducting
financial leasing joined the Credit Registry in 2011:

The Credit Registry Office has intensively monitored the testing process of data
entry from the lending institutions that are soon expected to join the Credit
Registry. In addition, it has started to assess the technical and organizational
capacities of one non-bank financial institution licensed to conduct lending.
