ZAGREB, Oct 1 (Hina) - The Council of the National Bank of Croatia
held its 100th session on Wednesday under the chairmanship of
Governor Marko Skreb.
The Council considered this year's economic and monetary
trends, concluding that there was no need for any changes in
monetary policy.
A more lively economic activity was recorded, with an increase
in investment spending as well as in a foreign trade deficit in the
balance of payments on current account, said a statement from the
session.
Despite an increase in monetary aggregates and satisfactory
money supply, the value of the domestic currency remained stable.
September retail prices rose by 0.3 per cent in comparison to
the previous month, while an overall nine-month increase totalled
3.7 per cent as against the same period last year.
The international reserves managed by the central bank reached
$2.49 billion at the end of September.
The Council drew attention to growing domestic currency
savings, particularly time deposits, and favourable indicators of
the movement of interest rates.
