SERBIA : Central Bank Raises Benchmark...To 11.75%.
Serbia's central bank...is going against the European tide...by raising its benchmark interest rate again...by 25 bps...to 11.75%.
For the 2nd time in 2013...it increased the rate...surprising most economists.

This is the CBank's 8th increase in 9 meetings.
Prices there surged by 12.2% in 2012.
