SOSKIC: European Commission warns of the low level of investments
– Serbia needs investments larger than 25% of the GDP in order for the economic growth rate to exceed 2.5%, as the countries in the region – Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Albania – have had a considerable growth this year, as they most probably will the next year as well. Growth rates sustainable in the long term solve the problems of the budget deficit and the public debt – Soskic said.
According to him, the report is quite objective and warns of unfinished reforms of the judiciary, the public administration and the fight against corruption.
– There are also serious flaws, as noted by the EC, regarding the rule of law, and the unemployment rate and the public debt are high – Soskic said.
He added that it was good, as the EC had noted, that the budget deficit had been reduced and that the reforms in public enterprises had started, but that there was room for improvement in the domain of small and medium enterprises.
– The business environment is unpredictable, the parafiscal charges are high, and the incentives for small and medium enterprises are insufficient – Soskic said.
