Da li su banke u Hrvatskoj profitirale od aprecijacije CHF-a?

In Croatia in particular there has been prevalent the argument that the banks have heavily profited from the appreciation of the CHF. Croatian central bank has responded to these allegations with the press realize clearly stating that the open currency position of the banks has been around 0, ever since CHF loans started in Croatia, therefore it was impossible for the banks to profit from the CHF appreciation. This paper investigates did the banks have extra income interest income because of the appreciation of CHF even with the open currency position of 0. The answer is yes, however overall profitability of CHF loans as a banking product is doubtful at best.
