Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.       1. (Finance)             (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial                   institution specially kept in cash in a more or less                   liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all                   demands which may be made upon it; specif.:             (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand                   for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great                   Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on                   hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by                   the notes in hand in its own banking department; and                   any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England                   is a part of its reserve. In the United States the                   reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of                   lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which                   is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent                   (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of                   which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may                   keep deposited as balances in national banks that are                   in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).             (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets                   necessary for a company to have at any given time to                   enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they                   shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then                   in force as they would mature according to the                   particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is                   always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on                   net premiums. It is theoretically the difference                   between the present value of the total insurance and                   the present value of the future premiums on the                   insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which                   another company could, theoretically, afford to take                   over the insurance, is sometimes called the          {reinsurance fund} or the          {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the             net premium is called the          {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the             year including interest is the          {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve             is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of             the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be             absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment             of losses is sometimes called the          {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called             the          {investment reserve}.          2. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the             recipient will get a prize if another should be             disqualified.          3. (Calico Printing) A resist.          4. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to fix             the limits of the deposit.          5. See {Army organization}, above.

It also    benefited from strong ties to Western Europe and suffered    comparatively small physical damage in the dismemberment process. The    beginning was difficult, however. Real GDP fell 15% during 1991-92,    while inflation jumped to 247% in 1991 and unemployment topped 8% -    nearly three times the 1989 level. The turning point came in 1993 when    real GDP grew 1%, unemployment leveled off at about 9%, and inflation    slowed dramatically to 23%. In 1994, the rate of growth of GDP rose to    4%, unemployment remained stable, and inflation dropped to 20%. This    was accomplished, moreover, without balance-of-payments problems. The    government gets generally good economic marks from foreign observers,    particularly with regard to fiscal policy - the budget deficit in 1994    was only about 1% of GDP, following several years of small surpluses.    Prospects for 1995 appear good, with economic growth expected to    remain strong while unemployment and inflation may decline slightly.    Privatization, sluggish to date, is expected to pick up in 1995.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $16 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 4% (1994 est.)       National product per capita: $8,110 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 20% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 9% (1994 est.)       Budget:    revenues: $9.9 billion    expenditures: $9.8 billion, including capital expenditures of $NA    (1993)       Exports: $6.5 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment 27%, intermediate    manufactured goods 26%, chemicals 9%, food 4.8%, raw materials 3%,    consumer goods 26% (1993)    partners: Germany 29.5%, former Yugoslavia 15.8%, Italy 12.4%, France    8.7%, Austria 5.0% (1993)       Imports: $6.5 billion (f.o.b., 1994 est.)    commodities: machinery and transport equipment 30%, intermediate    manufactured goods 17.6%, chemicals 11.5%, raw materials 5.3%, fuels    and lubricants 10.8%, food 8.4% (1993)    partners: Germany 25.0%, Italy 16.1%, former Yugoslavia 10.7%, France    8.0%, Austria 8.5% (1993)       External debt: $2.1 billion (1994)       Industrial production: growth rate 6% (1994 est.); accounts for 37% of    GDP (1993)       Electricity:    capacity: 2,700,000 kW    production: 8.9 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 4,470 kWh (1993)       Industries: ferrous metallurgy and rolling mill products, aluminum    reduction and rolled products, lead and zinc smelting, electronics    (including military electronics), trucks, electric power equipment,    wood products, textiles, chemicals, machine tools       Agriculture: accounts for 4.8% of GDP (1993); dominated by stock    breeding (sheep and cattle) and dairy farming; main crops - potatoes,    hops, hemp, flax; an export surplus in these commodities; Slovenia    must import many other agricultural products and has a negative    overall trade balance in this sector       Illicit drugs: NA       Economic aid: $NA       Currency: 1 tolar (SlT) = 100 stotins       Exchange rates: tolars (SIT) per US$1 - 127 (January 1995), 112 (June    1993), 28 (January 1992)       Fiscal year: calendar year       Slovenia:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 1,201 km    standard gauge: 1,201 km 1.435-m gauge (electrified 499 km) (1994)       Highways:    total: 14,726 km    paved: 11,046 km (187 km expressways)    unpaved: gravel 3,680 km (1992)       Inland waterways: NA       Pipelines: crude oil 290 km; natural gas 305 km       Ports: Izola, Koper, Piran       Merchant marine:    total: 17 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 265,937 GRT/449,205 DWT    (controlled by Slovenian owners)    ships by type: bulk 11, cargo 6    note: ships under the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines,    Singapore, Liberia; no ships remain under the Slovenian flag       Airports:    total: 14    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 1    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2    with paved runways under 914 m: 5    with unpaved runways 1,524 to 2,438 m: 2    with unpaved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 2       Slovenia:Communications       Telephone system: 130,000 telephones    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: NA       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 6, FM 5, shortwave 0    radios: 370,000       Television:    broadcast stations: 7    televisions: 330,000       Slovenia:Defense Forces       Branches: Slovene Defense Forces       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 542,815; males fit for military    service 434,302; males reach military age (19) annually 15,350 (1995    est.)       Defense expenditures: 13.5 billion tolars, 4.5% of GDP (1993 est.);    note - conversion of the military budget into US dollars using the    current exchange rate could produce misleading results
