Sammanfattning: | This 2005 Article IV Consultation highlights that macroeconomic imbalances in Serbia and Montenegro widened in 2004, putting at risk some of the impressive earlier achievements.

Fiscal policy needs to be tightened substantially, and its flexibility increased by reducing the large share of nondiscretionary spending. |
