During the mission, the implementation and effectiveness of economic policy measures in the conditions of challenges coming from the international environment, the prospects of the Serbian economy in the coming period and the realisation of the goals of the economic programme supported by the stand-by arrangement will be discussed.
The programme aims to preserve macroeconomic and financial stability, strengthen the resilience of the economy in the conditions of the global energy crisis and encourage high, ecological, inclusive and sustainable growth in the medium term.
In addition, consultation will be held under Article IV of the Statute of the International Monetary Fund, which is regularly done with all member countries within the supervisory function of this international financial institution.
Previous consultation with the Republic of Serbia took place in 2021, according to the statement.
