📋 Tender Overview
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Marko Primorac said today that this week's Government session should include amendments to the Games of Chance Act, which will regulate the sector in a more appropriate way, which will include much more restrictive advertising measures.
As he pointed out, the goal is to discourage citizens from practicing such games, especially those of younger age, and those who are on the threshold or have already created an addiction.
Another novelty is the register of self-excluded players, which will be kept by the Croatian Institute of Public Health, and in which players with addiction problems will be able to enroll themselves, Primorac explained, and in this way they will be prevented from accessing games of chance at all organizers.
He also commented on the election of the heads of the Croatian National Bank (CNB), saying that the current CNB Governor Boris Vuj?i? and his deputy Sandra Švaljek have the support of the parliamentary majority for the new mandates, while Maroje Lang should take one of the vice-governors' posts to replace Roman Šubi?, and the position of vice-governor Slavko Tešija, who will be retired, will remain vacant for the time being.
The Minister also reported that in the first round concluded yesterday, 6,700 citizens subscribed for government bonds worth EUR 165 million, and tomorrow, in the second round, institutional investors will be able to subscribe for bonds, after which the final terms of the issue, including the final yield, will be defined.
He added that a ten-year bond will be issued, in which institutional investors will participate exclusively.
