"CI AVETE DATO PIU' SODDISFAZIONI DI TUTTI,
MA PERCHE' VOI PARTIVATE DA ZERO"
La Banca Europea per la Ricostruzione e lo Sviluppo (BERS) si dice
estremamente soddisfatta dei ritmi impressi alla ristrutturazione
del sistema economico della RF di Jugoslavia. I risultati raggiunti
nel 2001 sarebbero migliori di quelli di tutti gli altri ventisette
paesi dell'Europa centro-orientale, analogamente impegnati nelle
"riforme strutturali": privatizzazioni e liquidazioni, sfascio dello
stato sociale, attacchi ai diritti dei lavoratori, presa di controllo
dell'economia da parte dei monopolisti stranieri.
Il responsabile di Belgrado della BERS, Henry Russel, ha pero' precisato
che c'e' ancora molto da fare nel settore bancario, e che i progressi di
quest'anno nella RF di Jugoslavia "sono stati dovuti anche al fatto che
la sua posizione di partenza era piuttosto bassa". (I. Slavo)
EBRD SATISFIED WITH TEMPO OF TRANSITION IN YUGOSLAVIA
BELGRADE, Dec. 6 (Beta) - The head of the Belgrade office of the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Henry Russell,
said on Dec. 6 that great progress has been made in the process of
transition in Yugoslavia, but added that there was much more to be done,
primarily in restructuring the banking sector.
At a presentation of the bank's publication named The Report on
Transition in 2001, Russell said the report on 27 member countries for
the first time this year included Yugoslavia and that the beginning of
reforms in the country was assessed as positive.
"This year Yugoslavia made the biggest progress of all countries in
transition, but this was also due to the fact that its starting position
was rather low," Russell said.
EBRD SAYS YUGOSLAVIA MOST SUCCESSFUL OF 27 EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
BELGRADE, Dec 6 (Tanjug) - European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) analyst Peter Sanfy said on Thursday that according
to the success of reforms carried out in the process of transition in
2001, Yugoslavia ranked first among the 27 eastern European countries.
Presenting EBRD's report on transition in 2001 at the Belgrade Hyatt
Hotel, Sanfy said that on the scale from 1 to 4, Yugoslavia was marked 3
for the processes of privatization, liberalisation of prices and foreign
trade, but that it received mark 1 for the restructuring of the economic
and banking sectors.
Sanfy said that next year Yugoslavia's reforms should focus on the
structural adjustment of the economy and that the EBRD would assist in
this process.
The GNP growth will remain five percent, like this year, and the
inflation rate will be somewhat below 20 percent, he said and added that
the inflation rate was expected to range between 40 and 45 percent by
the end of 2001.
Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Miroljub Labus said that the Yugoslav
government had not known about the EBRD report and voiced satisfaction
with the achieved results in the Yugoslav economy's transition.
Yugoslav National Bank Governor Mladjan Dinkic voiced satisfaction with
the high mark for the stability of the dinar and liberalisation of
prices and promised that the Central Bank would improve the mark for the
restructuring of the banking sector, i.e. complete this task in the
first quarter of 2002.
