The new HNB Podcast episode deals with the CNB’s macroprudential measure limiting consumer lending criteria, which comes into effect on 1 July. These limits, an important part of the CNB’s macroprudential toolbox, provide a kind of safety net curbing excessive consumer borrowing and excessive risk-taking by consumers and banks.

The topic of this podcast episode is the information and education centre Moneterra – Money Museum of the Croatian National Bank, which is celebrating its first anniversary. Moneterra was established to bring the central bank closer to the public and spread financial literacy among citizens of all generations. The director of Moneterra, Ines Merkl, explains what this museum is about, what its visitors can learn and why they should visit it.

The topic of the first HNB podcast episode is the digital euro – the currency that is forthcoming. This episode will explain what digital euro is, its purpose, how it will be used and why it is introduced in the first place. The answers to these and other questions have been provided by the Governor of the Croatian National Bank, Boris Vujčić
