Hyperinflation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
During this period of hyperinflation in FR Yugoslavia, store prices were stated in conditional units — point, which was equal to the Deutsche Mark.At the same time, there was a huge budget deficit in a situation where public revenues were rapidly decreasing (the decline in tax base due to the decline in economic activity, and — due to the sanctions on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia — a significant increase in the "grey economy", which is why a large part of the so-called reduced social product remained untapped, etc.Since it had become clear that the abolition of international economic sanctions could not wait, in order to join the breakdown of devastating hyperinflation, it was decided to start developing and implementing a stabilization program to be realized in two phases.The first phase of the Monetary Reconstruction Program was realized under conditions of economic sanctions, without aid or any capital inflows, with initial foreign exchange reserves amounting to about 300 million German marks.However, it is also important to point out that in these two years, thanks to the gray money issue, according to the estimates of economists from that period, 4.7 billion DEM from the citizens were bought.
