  • Authenticity in Electronic Dance Music in Serbia at the Turn of the Centuries
    The Other by Itself: Authenticity in electronic dance music in Serbia at the turn of the centuries Inaugural dissertation submitted to attain the academic degree of Dr phil., to Department 07 – History and Cultural Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz Irina Maksimović Belgrade Mainz 2016 Supervisor: Co-supervisor: Date of oral examination: May 10th 2017 Abstract Electronic dance music (shortly EDM) in Serbia was an authentic phenomenon of popular culture whose development went hand in hand with a socio-political situation in the country during the 1990s. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991 to the moment of the official end of communism in 2000, Serbia was experiencing turbulent situations. On one hand, it was one of the most difficult periods in contemporary history of the country. On the other – it was one of the most original. In that period, EDM officially made its entrance upon the stage of popular culture and began shaping the new scene. My explanation sheds light on the fact that a specific space and a particular time allow the authenticity of transposing a certain phenomenon from one context to another. Transposition of worldwide EDM culture in local environment in Serbia resulted in scene development during the 1990s, interesting DJ tracks and live performances. The other authenticity is the concept that led me to research. This concept is mostly inspired by the book “Death of the Image” by philosopher Milorad Belančić, who says that the image today is moved to the level of new screen and digital spaces. The other authenticity offers another interpretation of a work, or an event, while the criterion by which certain phenomena, based on pre-existing material can be noted is to be different, to stand out by their specificity in a new context.

  • Monetary Conditions in the Kingdom of Serbia (1884-1914)
    Monetary Conditions in the Kingdom of Serbia (1884-1914) Branko Hinić, National Bank of Serbia Milan Šojić, National Bank of Serbia Ljiljana Đurđević, National Bank of Serbia Abstract: From 1884 to 1914, the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia managed to establish and maintain relatively stable monetary conditions. On the one hand, its interest rates and lending policy contributed to the lowering and stabilization of exceptionally high market interest rates, and on the other, the National Bank managed to preserve relative stability of the domestic currency. The conversion of paper money to gold or silver was ensured at all times, except in two instances – at the outbreak of the Balkan Wars and World War I. The National Bank could not eliminate agio, but did the best it could to ease its fluctuations. Agio declined as a result of a sharp turnabout in public finances never again to reach the level prior to 1903. The effectiveness of the National Bank in achieving relatively stable monetary conditions is particularly important in light of the circumstances prevailing at the time: wars and economic crises, budget deficits and internal political upheavals. It would be right to say that monetary conditions were largely shaped by the state of public finances. As budget expenditures outstripped the revenues, the government was forced to look for additional funds to cover the deficit by borrowing either abroad or locally, primarily from the National Bank. This had a direct negative effect on the level of gold reserves and indirectly affected the stability of the domestic currency and Bank lending activity.

  • Wiiw Forecast Autumn 2017
    ROMANIA 103 Forecast Report / Autumn 2017 ROMANIA: Economic deceleration to follow the current boom GÁBOR HUNYA Economic growth in Romania is expected to climb to 5.7% in 2017 and to subside to 4.5% in the following two years. Household demand has boomed and investments have stagnated this year. The most recent measures aim to keep the fiscal deficit below 3% of GDP. Inflation has returned to positive figures and is bound to accelerate, putting the National Bank under pressure to hike the prime rate. Figure 45 / Romania: Main macroeconomic indicators Inflation and unemployment, in % Real GDP growth and contributions Household final consumption Government final consumption Consumer prices, annual growth Gross fixed capital formation Change in inventories Unemployment rate, LFS % Net exports GDP total 8 8 7 6 6 5 4 4 3 2 2 0 1 0 -2 -1 -2 -4 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Source: wiiw Annual Database incorporating national and Eurostat statistics, own calculation. Forecasts by wiiw. Economic growth accelerated to 5.9% in the first half of 2017 and a similar rate is expected for the year as a whole. Pro-cyclical fiscal measures have stimulated a boom in household consumption, while investments have been essentially stagnant. A deterioration of the external balance occurred in the wake of surging imports of consumer goods and despite rapidly rising exports. In the real sector both industry and agriculture registered high rates of output growth, while construction contracted. Infrastructure investments suffered delays waiting for the resumption of projects co-financed from EU funds.
