*  *  *  Ladies and gentlemen, On the occasion of the anniversary of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, founded on 21 November 1894, I wish to thank the organisers for their long-lasting and steadfast commitment to the development of the domestic capital market and organisation of a number of industry-related and educational activities.
Though generally we cannot boast any major results, what makes a difference is the perseverance and dedication of key market players to design and take all available measures to further upgrade the financial market in these turbulent times. The National Bank of Serbia is aware of its role of one of the key stakeholders, along with the Government, banks and other financial institutions.
