The Council of the National Bank of Macedonia (NBRM) adopted its strategic plan for 2017 through 2019, which provides that maintaining low and stable levels of inflation and a stable course of the denar toward the euro will remain its main tasks. Macedonia's Central Bank also sees maintaining financial stability as part of the macroeconomic stability and as a crucial element toward economic growth and prosperity.
"The strategic plan builds up on previously adopted strategic goals in the areas of monetary policy, support of financial markets, managing currency reserves and financial stability, printing and minting currency, research and statistics. NBRM will also continue to develop its human resources, technological innovation, efficient risk management and cooperation with domestic and foreign institutions", the bank informs in a press release following the meeting of its Council.
The NBRM Council has also decided to mint a coin from its "Icons of Holy Virgin of Mary" collection. The "Vladimirska" coin will be minted in 7.000 issues, with a nominal value of MKD 100.
