A short Deutsche Welle documentary from 2012 looking at the growing problems Slovenia’s economy faced at the time, which led to the collapse and nationalization of NLB bank, now about to be privatized, followed by a report from 2013 on the corruption scandals that hit the country.
STA, 29 October 2018 - Shares of NLB, Slovenia's largest bank, will be priced at EUR 51.50-66 in the forthcoming initial public offering of up to 75% of the bank minus one share, valuing the entire bank at EUR 1-1.3bn.

STA- NLB, Slovenia's largest bank, saw group net profit drop by 11% to EUR 104.8m in the first six months of the year. The decline is a result of significantly lower proceeds from the release of impairments and provisions, the bank said on Friday.
STA, 17 May 2018 - A parliamentary inquiry into suspected money laundering at NLB and NKBM banks has spread the blame wide for suspected misdeeds at Slovenia's largest banks. In the case of NLB, it pointed the finger at the Borut Pahor government (2008-2011), former central bank governor Marko Kranjec and several senior bank executives.
Slovenia's largest banking group NLB doubled its net profit last year to a record EUR 225.1m owing to profitable operations by the parent bank and all strategic banking subsidiaries.
Slovenia claims the issue was settled in the 2013 Mokrice agreement.
One proposal is based on the claim that NLB is not the legal successor to LB.
The first was over the border.
Under the amendments, NLB would be banned from paying damages in cases before Croatian courts.
