Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed members of the press, dear colleagues,  Low and stable inflation, a cautious monetary policy stance, a stable banking system and favourable fiscal trends have provided a positive contribution to maintaining and strengthening the resilience of the domestic financial system and macroeconomic stability of the country in 2018 as well.
Despite all challenges from the international environment, which were not few, last year saw the lowest unemployment rate on record and an increase in employment and wages, which shows that sound economic policy was pursued in Serbia and that the resilience of the domestic economy to potential risks was strengthened.
