The National Bank is in the group of rare countries that have started with the normalization of monetary policy since the end of last year through a gradual withdrawal of liquidity. The international financial institutions confirm that the reaction of our national bank to inflation is timely and appropriate, in fact, if it were not so, we would not even have qualified for the Credit Line for Prudence and Liquidity of the IMF, points out NB Deputy Governor Ana Miteska in an interview with Bloomberg Adria.
Mitreska points out that as a result of the tightening of the monetary policy, a moderate upward trend is already being observed in the interest rates of newly approved loans and newly received deposits, while a reduction is not expected for lending, but a slowdown in growth is expected.
