Abstract
This paper examines the factors which influence the effectiveness of central bank in Serbia. Specifically, we have observed the effect of the various macroeconomic variables, inter alia uncovered interest rate parity (UIRP) premium on the monetary policy. The results showed that risk premium, as the balancing value in UIRP, had a significant impact on the monetary policy. The research examined two sub-samples – before and after the world crisis. Before the crisis, central bank could affect its indirect targets, the nominal exchange rate and money supply, via higher interest rate. However, higher interest rate proved inefficient after the crisis, primary due very huge and abrupt depreciation of RSD SVAR model and its impulse response function (IRF) have been used in the paper.
