Summary
- Reviews Systemic Liquidity Management in Serbia.
- Concludes the liquidity management framework in Serbia, although generally efficient, is constrained by instability in the demand for excess reserves.
- Notes that the relatively high and unstable demand for excess reserves in Serbia is somewhat puzzling.
Key findings and analysis
- The demand for excess reserves is generally a function of:
- the quality of the systemic liquidity management by the central bank,
- the technical capability of commercial banks’ treasurers to manage their balances adequately,
- the overall efficiency of payment systems facilities for money market participants.
- The interaction of the above factors constrains the effectiveness of liquidity management despite an otherwise generally efficient framework.
