20LET

»Mineva sedem mesecev od monetarne osamosvojitve Republike Slovenije, ko so v obdobju treh dni bili jugoslovanski dinarji zamenjani za slovenski tolar. Ta je s tem postal zakonito plačilno sredstvo. Tako je bila tudi prekinjena povezava z jugoslovanskim monetarnim sistemom.«

20YEARS

»Seven months have passed since the monetary independence of the Republic of Slovenia, when in the period of three days Yugoslav Dinars have been exchanged for the Slovenian Tolar. The Tolar has become legal tender. The connection with the Yugoslav monetary system had thus been cut.«

S temi besedami je 9. maja leta 1992 v Portorožu takratni guverner Banke Slovenije dr. France Arhar začel govor na ustanovni skupščini slovenskega nacionalnega društva Forex.

»Če želimo stvari preobrniti, mora k temu prispevati s svojim delovanjem vsak kot posameznik in vsi skupaj. Čim več moramo storiti v smeri, da bo slovenski človek zaupal lastni valuti,« so bile njegove zaključne besede.

Tema predavanja je bila Predstavitev monetarnega in deviznega sistema Republike Slovenije.

Ustanovitvena skupščina v Portorožu.

Z osamosvojitvijo Republike Slovenije se je na vseh področjih mednarodnega sodelovanja pojavil problem pristopov države Slovenije k posameznim mednarodnim institucijam.

With these words Dr. France Arhar, the then governor of the Bank of Slovenia, started his speech at the founding meeting of the Slovene national Forex association, which was held on 9th May 1992 in Portorož.

»If we want to change things, every one of us as an individual and we all together have to make our contribution with our own actions. We have to do as much as possible so that the Slovene people will trust their own currency« were his concluding words.

The topic of the lecture was Presentation of the Monetary and Currency System of the Republic of Slovenia.

Founding meeting in Portorož.

With the independence of the Republic of Slovenia, the problem of the accession of the Slovene state to various international institutions emerged in all areas of international cooperation.

Tudi delavci bank na področju takratnega mednarodnega deviznega trgovanja so morali po mednarodno veljavnih pravilih biti stanovsko organizirani v Forex organizacijah, ki so bile včlanjene v svetovno organizacijo ACI (Association Cambiste Iternationale) s sedežem v Parizu.

Do konca leta 1991 so bili slovenski trgovci vključeni v ACI še preko FOREX-a Jugoslavije. Da bi se lahko čim hitreje uredil mednarodni pravni status deviznih trgovcev, je bil v okviru Združenja bank Slovenije ustanovljen iniciativni odbor za ustanovitev slovenskega nacionalnega društva FOREX in za njegovo vključitev v mednarodno združenje ACI. Po pravilih ACI se lahko nacionalni Forex sprejme v svetovno organizacijo, ko ima preko 50 aktivnih članov. Ker društvo Forex Slovenija takrat ni dosegelo predpisanega števila članov, je imelo 24 individualnih članov ACI.

Po ustanovni skupščini leta 1992 je bilo srečanje deviznih trgovcev 6. maja 1994 v Rogaški Slatini (druga skupščina), na katerem so bili izvoljeni prvi člani organov društva za dve leti, in sicer:

Janko Tratnik, predsednikPolona Bevc, namestnica predsednikaIrena Žnidaršič, sekretarkaSonja Oman, blagajničarkaJanez Saje, članKristina Dolenc, članicaDolores Ravnikar, članica

Izvoljeni so bili še člani nadzornega odbora in častnega razsodišča.

Also bank employees, working at that time in the area of international exchange trading, had to be organized according to international rules in Forex organizations which were members of the world organization ACI (Association Cambiste Internationale) headquartered in Paris.

Until the end of 1991, Slovene exchange traders were integrated in ACI via FOREX Yugoslavia. In order to settle the international legal status of exchange traders as soon as possible, a steering committee for the establishment of the Slovene national FOREX association was established within the Slovene Bank Association and for its inclusion in the international ACI association. According to ACI rules, the national Forex can become part of the world organization when it has over 50 active members. Since ACI Forex Slovenia did not have the required number of members, it had 24 individual ACI members.

After the founding meeting in 1992, the first meeting of exchange traders was held on 6th May 1994 in Rogaška Slatina (second general assembly), where the first members of the association bodies were elected:

Janko Tratnik, PresidentPolona Bevc, Vice presidentIrena Žnidaršič, SecretarySonja Oman, TreasurerJanez Saje, MemberKristina Dolenc, MemberDolores Ravnikar, Member

In addition, members of the supervisory board and of the court of honour were elected.

viSion of ThE ASSociATion oR whAT comES nExT The financial crisis has importantly changed our working environment over the last years. The planned changes in the legislation will have a substantial impact on the future of the financial industry and financial intermediation. The dynamics of the environment has placed our association before even bigger challenges as to how to assist our members to collaborate in the formation of the future and especially in the adaptation to new circumstances. With the development of information technology and trading platforms some had doubts about the adequacy of the existing relationships between the members in the association at the start of the new millennium. However, it turned out that personal contact and exchange of experiences at our meetings and trainings have become even more important due to the »impersonality« of technology. In the near future we will have to think about initiatives to link up with other similar associations in Slovenia, which has been on the priority list of our presidencies for quite some time. In addition to making connections, the main task of the association continues to be training of members and exchanging of opinions and experiences. The members of the presidency and the association put their efforts in cooperating with the Bank Association of Slovenia, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Slovenia as well as with other

viziJA DRušTvA ALi kAko nApREJ TFinančna kriza močno spreminja naše delovno okolje v zadnjih letih. Napovedane spremembe zakonodaje bodo odločilno vplivale na prihodnost finančne industrije in finančnega posredništva. Dinamika okolja tako postavlja naše društvo pred še večje izzive, kako pomagati članom, da sodelujejo pri oblikovanju te prihodnosti in posebej pri prilagoditvi novim okoliščinam. Z razvojem informacijske tehnologije in trgovalnih platform je bilo v začetku novega tisočletja veliko dvomov o ustreznosti obstoječe povezanosti članov v društvu. Izkazalo se je, da je osebni stik in izmenjava izkušenj na naših srečanjih in izobraževanjih zaradi »brezosebnosti« tehnologije postal še toliko pomembnejši. Vsekakor bo v bližnji prihodnosti potrebno razmisliti o pobudah o povezovanju s podobnimi društvi v Sloveniji, kar je na seznamu prednostnih nalog predsedstev že nekaj časa. Poleg povezovanja ostaja glavna naloga društva izobraževanje članov, izmenjava mnenj in izkušenj. Člani predsedstva in društvo v celoti se trudi sodelovati z ZBS, MF, BS in ostalimi udeleženci finančnega trga pri razvoju okvirjev delovanja, kar bo ena izmed glavnih nalog tudi v prihodnje. V skladu s tradicijo trgovcev, seveda tudi družabnemu delu ne bomo zmanjševali teže v programu.Dvajset let uspešnega delovanja vsekakor ni mačji kašelj. Zasluga gre vsem članom, posebej

participants in the financial market in developing the operating platform, which will continue to be one of the major tasks in the future. In line with the traders’ tradition, we will not reduce the importance of the social part of our programme. Twenty years of successful work is no piece of cake. Credit goes to all members, especially the presidents of the association that have managed it over the entire period. This yearbook is a short chronicle, outlining this successful period on the occasion of the associations’ anniversary. I believe it will bring memories to some, and explain the recent history to the others, but above all it will make interesting reading to everybody. The presidency will continue to adhere to the general direction of the association, which will remain unchanged and at the same time open to new ideas brought about by the challenges of time.

pa predsednikom društva, ki so ga vodili skozi to obdobje. Almanah je tako kratka kronika društva, ki ob obletnici povzema to uspešno obdobje. Verjamem, da bo pri nekaterih vzbudilo spomine, nekaterim pojasnilo bližnjo zgodovino, vsem pa bo v zanimivo branje. Predsedstvo se bo še naprej trudilo slediti generalnim usmeritvam društva, ki ostajajo nespremenjene in hkrati biti odprti do novih idej, ki jih bodo prinesli izzivi časa. Ob obletnici društva iskrene čestitke bivšim in sedanjim članom, in veliko užitkov ob prebiranju Almanaha in druženju na Skupščini.
