IMF fiscal policy engagement in the Balkans
Overview
International Monetary Fund (IMF) missions and meetings have focused on fiscal policy and economic stability across several Balkan nations.
In Croatia and Serbia, IMF delegations met with government officials to discuss macroeconomic stability, inflation, and fiscal sustainability. In Croatia, discussions centered on the implementation of reforms under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and preparations for the 2026 state budget. In Serbia, officials addressed the fourth review of the Policy Coordination Instrument, aiming to maintain a budget deficit near 2.75 percent while managing public debt.
Subsequently, during annual IMF and World Bank meetings in Bangkok, North Macedonia’s Minister of Finance emphasized the need for fiscal discipline and accelerated structural reforms. The Minister noted that while the global economy remains resilient, repeated economic shocks have depleted fiscal and energy reserves, necessitating responsible management of public finances to ensure sustainable growth.
