| description |
Growth in the six South East European
countries (SEE6) rebounded to 2.1 percent in 2015, as
investment revived. The SEE6 region is not only growing but
also rebalancing to more durable sources of growth. While
higher growth in 2015 brought new jobs in the private
sector, and helped poverty reduction to resume, unemployment
is still entrenched. In 2015, fiscal deficits continued to
narrow in all SEE6 countries except Montenegro. With
inflation at historic lows, accommodative monetary policy
supported growth, and credit to the economy slowly began to
grow. The near-term baseline outlook for the region is
positive. Fiscal and current account deficits must decline
further to support growth. Sustaining the nascent
rebalancing requires unlocking the growth potential of the
SEE6 economics by reversing productivity dynamics that have
been deteriorating since 2008. The agenda for reducing the
structural rigidities that impede growth is broad based and
centered on five pillars: eliminate disincentives and
barriers to formal; employment; improve the business climate
and governance; reduce the size of government while
improving quality of service delivery; deepen trade and
financial integration; and ensure that natural resource use
is sustainable. |
