Dejan Šoškić (Serbian Cyrillic: Дејан Шошкић, Serbian pronunciation: [dêjaːn ʃôʃkitɕ]; born 15 March 1967 in Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian economist. He is an Associate Professor at Faculty of Economics who was Governor of the National Bank of Serbia from 2010 to 2012.[1]

Biography

In 1989, he graduated from the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Economics, where he also obtained his Master's degree in 1993 and completed his PhD degree in 1999 with the thesis „Portfolio Management and Investment Funds: Economic and Statistical Analysis of US examples“[2]

As a lecturer at graduate and MBA courses at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, Mr Šoškić taught financial markets and institutions, financial management and international business and economics. In 2002, he was a guest lecturer at universities of New Haven, Rhode Island and Berkeley, USA. He attended specialized financial market courses at US universities (in 1994, 1998 and 2002) and the Swiss National Bank (in 2001).

Mr Šoškić is a Fulbright alumnus and member of the Presidency of the Scientific Association of Economists in Serbia.

He served as a special financial markets adviser in the National Bank of Yugoslavia (end of 2000–2002), economic policy adviser in the EU Policy and Legal Advice Center (2002–2003), and was a member of the Council of the National Bank of Serbia (2003–2004) and its Chairman until 28 July 2010.

He authored the book “Securities: Portfolio Management and Investment Funds”, and co-authored “Financial Markets and Institutions”, “Economic Statistics” and “Stock Exchange Glossary”. He has published more than 40 articles and papers in the field of financial markets and institutions and transition in Serbia.

He was appointed Governor of the National Bank of Serbia on 28 July 2010 by the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia for a term of six years.

Šoškić resigned the position on 2 August 2012[3] stating as the reason for his resignation the proposed amendments to the NBS Law, which in his opinion, substantially impair the independence of the NBS and open up the possibility of degradation and professional decision making within the NBS, which could stimulate the economic and financial instability in the country.[4]

His resignation was adopted by National assembly on 6 August 2012. He was succeeded by Jorgovanka Tabaković.[5]
