CENTRAL BANK AFFAIRS: Inflation 2012 target achieved
In 2012 inflation was significantly lower than in 2011 (figure 1). The annual average inflation was 5.0%, while the 12-month figure dropped from 15.3% at end 2011 to 4.4 % at end 2012. Early last year, the Central Bank had announced a policy target of between 5% and 6%, which has thus been achieved. The policy anchor is maintained at 5% or less for 2013.

CENTRAL BANK AFFAIRS: Less counterfeit money
In 2012 the Central Bank of Suriname removed 170 falsified Surinamese dollar bills out of circulation. In recent years large quantities of counterfeit bills have been intercepted. The majority are imitations of bills from the emissions that have been issued before end-2010. In comparison, the new bills that have been brought into circulation from November 2010 onwards appear less subject to falsification. Only 36 bills that were representations of the new bills have been detected.
