Signaling its commitment to macroeconomic stability, the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) has taken three hotly-debated steps aimed at countering the increased demand for foreign currency: boosting the legal reserves of commercial banks from 3 per cent to 21 per cent, raising the interest rates for bonds, and initiating accelerated withdrawals of NBS bank deposits in order to reduce the money supply.
