On 22 December 2025 the Bank Board of Národná banka Slovenska (NBS) held its 22nd meeting of the year, chaired by NBS Governor Peter Kažimír.
The Bank Board of Národná banka Slovenska approved an NBS Decree amending NBS Decree No 180/2012 on methods and procedures for determining the asset value of pension funds and supplementary pension funds, as amended by Decree No 38/2013.
