The holders of economic policies take strong measures and policies despite the fact that the global economic environment brings major challenges, said the director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Kristalina Georgieva at the online meeting with the National Bank Governor Anita Angelovska-Bezhoska, N. Macedonia’s Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski and the Minister of Finance Fatmir Besimi.
“Regarding the policies implemented by the National Bank, the primary goal and focus remains maintaining stability. As a result of higher growth in primary products and carry-over effects in most products and services, including rising inflation expectations, the core interest rate has reacted on three occasions so far. In continuity, the National Bank also acts on the foreign exchange market for optimal liquidity management,” said Angelovska-Bezhoska.
