For the National Bank of Serbia, this means not thinking short-term, not paying attention to the ’big ones’ boasting various awards like ’the best bank’ or ’the best banker’, not to be swayed by real estate prices, since they are certain to be re-evaluated, but just to think about the long-term stability of the financial system and elements that Radovan Jelašić, Governor of affect it. the National Bank of Serbia The global market has used this crisis to prove that the most fa- mous and untouchable financial institutions can go bankrupt and be ’voluntarily’ taken over by others overnight. This is especially important for countries with a bad credit rating and a banking sec- tor that has yet to complete its transition and has to dispose of higher adequacy of capital, and for those central banks that have to carry out more restrictive supervision in order to additionally cushion the blow of external shocks, like the very ones that are coming from the global financial market today. The National Bank of Serbia insists precisely on that. So, if we take a look at the Serbian banking market today we will see that we have highly capitalised banks which guarantee stability to their depositors. The adequacy of capital is currently the highest in the region, standing at 28.1%, and we should not forget the fact that three quarters of the banking sector is owned by strategic investors from the EU, which have not been too exposed to the mortgage crisis in the U.S. It is more than obvious that central banks, as supervisors, will have to be more serious and responsible, dealing more with bal- ances and numbers than the outward image of certain financial institutions, since, in the case of a crisis like the current one, the external rating will not help. And when it comes to such distur- bances, the country will try to emerge with the least financial dam- age as possible, while the international financial market ’dries up’ in a second. It is hard to foresee how the global financial market will look after corrections imposed by the current crisis are carried out on almost all countries. Whether we are talking about foreign curren- cy exchange rates, trade imbalances or the quality of the financial sector, one thing is for sure – not everybody will win. Some coun- tries which are used to being considered important and strong will gradually lose their importance. Bearing in mind what is happen- ing in the world, I would like to point out that Serbia is a safe haven in this international financial mess. Political turbulence, which has strongly affected economic life and the country’s economic pros- pects, has calmed down in the last six months. Nobody expected that we were going to get through this period with relatively mild negative consequences that have not caused permanent damage to macro-economic stability. The first half of this year was probably the most turbulent pe- riod since 5th October 2000. I hope that in the coming period Ser- bia will achieve both political and economic stability, since we are finally going to invest more in the future than the past.

The global economy affected consumer behaviour negatively and overall beer market volumes declined. While the Asian markets were less affected by the crisis, the Northern & Western European and, in particular, the Eastern European markets were materially impacted. Although consumers reduced their consumption, they remained loyal to their favour- ite brands leading to a positive price/mix across many markets. This occurred despite the negative channel mix from on-trade to off-trade. Carlsberg was well prepared entering 2009. In late 2008 and early 2009 the Group implemented and accelerated numerous efficiency improvement ini- tiatives to protect earnings and improve cash flow and as a result was able to mitigate the impact from the declining markets.
