This is because different levels of economy marketability, from developed ones to the economies in transition, demand a very subtle monetary policy, which ensures dynamic economic growth. In the first part of this paper, there is a short review of epistemological aspect of this problem so that in the second part, we can proceed to the analysis of positive and negative ranges of the actual policy of the rate of dinar to the economic growth in Serbia.
