Serbia's
currency on Wednesday dropped to an all-time low against the euro
despite repeated central bank interventions to support it on foreign
exchange markets.
The dinar traded down at 90.59 per euro -- from
highs of 75.75 a euro on Aug. 7 -- even though the National Bank of
Serbia (NBS) on Tuesday sold euro10 million ($12.7 million) on
financial markets to offset the strong demand for foreign currencies.
The
NBS sold more than euro600 million to buy dinars on the foreign
exchange market since late September to stop the fall of the national
currency, triggered by the global
economic crisis and worries over Serbia's
economy.
"We
are not spending foreign currency reserves, but withdrawing dinars"
from the market, Serbia's central bank Governor Radovan Jelasic said
Wednesday.
Since late September, the dinar has fallen about 15
percent against the euro and 25 percent against the dollar. On
Wednesday, the Serbian currency for the first time broke through the
psychologically important barrier of 90 dinars per euro.
Economists
say the currency's slide is caused by the reduced influx of foreign
capital through credit and investment, the growth of risk premiums, the
imbalance between supply and demand, and panic withdrawals of foreign
currencies from private savings accounts.
Serbs have withdrawn about euro1 billion from their bank accounts since October.
