Belgrade,
11 June 2018
Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali spoke today with a delegation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by Head of Mission James Roaf, about the successfully completed arrangement of Serbia with this financial institution.
Mali thanked representatives of the IMF on cooperation to date and underlined that the results have been achieved owing to joint efforts.
Mali and Roaf agreed that Serbia’s public finances are stable now, but that it is necessary to maintain fiscal discipline, to continue with the reduction of public debt and to strengthen institutions of the system.
That will also bring a stronger economy and new jobs.
The interlocutors also discussed the announced increase in pensions and salaries in the public sector, and a package of stimulation measures that can contribute to a better business environment and greater competitiveness.
