Macroprudential Analysis was the regular CNB publication published since July 2005. It provided information to the general public and the professional community on the functioning of the Croatian financial system and its relations with the economy, the public sector and the international environment. The focal point of Macroprudential Analysis was the identification of the possibility for development of the financial system in its main role of a reliable guardian of the national savings and an efficient source of liquidity and capital. At the same time, Macroprudential Analysis outlined difficulties and threats to this development due to inevitable presence of many risks that financial intermediaries and all other participants in the financial markets are exposed to in today's business environment.
