Slovakia has consented to supplant an uncommon expense collected on bank balance sheets with a responsibility from banks to loan more to open and private activities, the executive said on Monday.

The uncommon expense was presented in 2012 after the worldwide money related emergency to make a cushion reserve to help adapt to future emergencies. It has raised around 150 million euros every year.

"We have consented to present an altogether new plan rather than the bank charge," Prime Minister Igor Matovic told a broadcast news gathering.

Under the new arrangement to be proposed to parliament, gathered installments of the duty, adding up to around 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion), would be moved into a state advancement subsidize, he said.

Future installments would be rejected and banks would rather utilize the money spared to help capital, empowering them to loan around 500 million euros for open tasks every year and a further 1 billion euros on private ventures, Matovic said.

Alexander Resch, the leader of the euro zone nation's financial affiliation, told the joint news meeting with Matovic that banks sponsored the move.

"This will discharge assets important to build our capital so as to give more credits to families, families and at long last ... bolster the Slovak economy with generally 1.5 billion euros in extra advances every year," he said.

The duty had confronted analysis particularly after the past government multiplied the rate from this year. The national bank said in April the higher rate would take half of bank benefits.

The national bank invited the transition to scrap the assessment and to empower loaning. "Sound judgment has won," Governor Peter Kazimir said in an announcement.
