Monetarna politika Hrvatske narodne banke

U ovom radu definira se položaj Hrvatske narodne banke u Republici Hrvatskoj te ciljevi, okviri i instrumenti njezine monetarne politike. Hrvatska narodna banka kao centralna banka u državi ima za primarni cilj podršku općoj ekonomskoj politici vlade te brigu o stabilnosti financijskog sustava. Da bi ostvarila gore navedeno, Hrvatska narodna banka utvrđuje i provodi monetarnu politiku, politiku emisije primarnog novca, kontrolira rad banaka i nosi sve atribucije središnje banke utvrđene Ustavom Repiblike Hrvatske. Monetarnom politikom osigurava se optimalan odnos količine novca u optjecaju i kvantitativnog karaktera društvenog proizvoda u okviru jednog nacionalnog gospodarstva. Ona se svodi na aktivnosti središnje banke koje se odnose na emisiju i povlačenje novca iz optjecaja u cilju osiguravanja adekvatne količine novca u nacionalnom gospodarstvu. Pritom se koristi instrumentim monetarne politike: operacijama na otvorenom tržištu, obaveznom pričuvom, stalno raspoloživim mogućnostima te ostalim mjerama koje su detaljno obrađene u ovom radu.This paper defines the position of the Croatian National Bank in the Republic of Croatia, its goals, framework and instruments.
