November 25 (SeeNews) - The bad loans in Slovenia's banking system, which required a government bail-out in late 2013, totalled 3.93 billion euro ($4.16 billion) at the end of September, down from 4 billion euro at the end of August, data from the country's central bank indicated on Wednesday.
The bad loan portfolio of the Slovenian banks totalled 4.45 billion euro at the end of 2014 versus 5.52 billion euro at the end of 2013.
The share of loans whose repayment has been delayed by 90 days or more was flat at 11.1% at the end of September from a month earlier. It compared to 11.9% at the end of 2014, data from a central bank report indicated.
The banking sector posted a total after-tax profit of 197.2 million euro in the first nine months of 2015, up from 121.4 million euro a year earlier.
The Slovenian banks posted a combined after-tax loss of 106.3 million euro last year, down from 3.59 billion euro in 2013.
In December 2013, the Slovenian government had to step in and recapitalize the country's three biggest lenders - NLB, NKBM and Abanka, narrowly avoiding an international bailout.
