The Executive Board expects that inflation will continue to decline until the end of the year and that it will enter the target tolerance band in the first half of the next year. Future path of the key policy rate will depend on the materialisation of risks, primarily in the international environment, and those relating to fiscal policy at home.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><br \/><a name='more'><\/a><br \/><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;\">The Bank had paused in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralbanknews.info\/2011\/08\/monetary-policy-week-in-review-13.html\">August<\/a>, after the Bank reduced the&nbsp;2-week repo rate&nbsp;by 25 basis points to 11.75% at its July meeting, and cutting the rate&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralbanknews.info\/2011\/06\/serbia-central-bank-drops-rate-50bps-to.html\" style=\"color: #3778cd; text-decoration: none;\">50 basis points<\/a>&nbsp;at its June meeting to 12.00%. &nbsp;Serbia reported inflation of 12.1% in July, down from 12.7% in June, 13.4% in May, 14.7% in April, and above the bank&#8217;s inflation target range of 3-6%. &nbsp;On global developments the Bank said &#8220;The deepening of global economic problems remains a possibility.
