Serbia and Montenegro; Third Review Under the Extended Arrangement and Requests for Waiver of Performance Criterion and Rephasing of Purchases-Staff Report; Staff Supplement; Press Release on the Executive Board Discussion; and Statement by the Executive Director for Serbia and Montenegro
This paper examines Serbia and Montenegro’s Third Review Under the Extended Arrangement and Requests for Waiver of Performance Criterion. Serbia and Montenegro’s recent economic performance has been mixed, combining excellent progress in some areas with an uncomfortably large current account deficit and modest growth in output and exports from low levels. The envisaged tightening of fiscal policy is broadly appropriate—albeit overly reliant on revenue measures. Achieving the fiscal deficit target will help narrow the current account deficit and place the fiscal and external accounts on sustainable paths.
