The first one provides key statistical figures and comments on these figures, the second one consists in analyses. First section In Chapter 1 industrial output does not show signs of recovery. For the first five months industrial output is on the same trend as in the same period last year, therefore low. Chapter 2 employment provides an estimate of the real number of employees (formal or not) and their sector of activity. Some 70% of the employees are working in the service sector. In chapter 3 wages one may observe a stabilization of wages and pensions in Montenegro as the minimum salary has been kept the same together with a decrease of real wages. MONET comments a survey on households revenues and expenditures carried out by OCHA, average revenues per adult having revenues amount only to 310 DEM in May 2000. In chapter 4 prices, inflation that reaches already 15% as compared to 2000 is expected to reach 23% by the end of the year. The main cause comes from the gradual necessary increase of controlled prices. Besides some seasonal price increases and residual inflation keep prices up. In chapter 5 budget, if the revenues of the main budget seem to be on line with the budget and with 2000, the expenditures unfortunately seem to be out of control. The current cash deficit at the end of May 2001 reaches already 62 million DEM, whereas 80 were planned for the whole year. Deficit financing is unexplained and raises questions. The main budget is in an extremely severe situation. Adequate emergency measures should be considered. In chapter 6 money, MONET presents banks deposits and own accounts. The regulation preventing banks to lend without reserves or long term deposits of the same maturity remains into force though banks are asking for its removal. In chapter 7 trade, MONET explains that unfortunately trade relations between Serbia and Montenegro are still not optimal.

  • Visibility Plan
    Visibility plan 1. INTRODUCTION European Investment Bank is the European ion's WHO: nonprofit long-term lending institution established in 1958 under the Treaty of Rome. The European Investment Bank, or EIB, is the European Union’s bank, owned by and representing the interests of the European Union Member States. It works closely with other EU institutions to implement EU policy. As the worldwide largest multilateral borrower and lender by volume, it provides finance and expertise for sound and sustainable investment projects which contribute to furthering EU policy objectives. Although more than 90% of our activity is focused on Europe, it supports the EU’s external and development policies by supporting projects across the globe. Montenegro's railway used to be one of its big WHERE: accomplishments. It was the largest and most expensive infrastructure project in the former Yugoslav federation. But now it has fallen into decay. With help of EIB bank, the railway plans a comeback. The project concerns rehabilitation works across southern, central and northern Montenegro along the Bar – Podgorica - Vrbnica railway line forming part of the Orient/East Mediterranean Extended TEN-T corridor. EIB financing helps Montenegro to meet the EU accession criteria and harmonise with the economic development of the EU. 1.1 EIB MISSION IN MONTENEGRO The project aims to remove speed restrictions, enhance the WHY: reliability of infrastructure, reduce infrastructure maintenance costs and enhance safety on the 167 km single track electrified standard gauge line. When it opened in 1976, it was a state-of-the-art railway, as modern and comfortable as any other rail network in the world.
