An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Stephanie Eble, visited Pristina during June 12-18, to discuss recent economic developments and Kosovo’s economic outlook. At the conclusion of the visit, Ms. Eble made the following statement:

Kosovo delegation headed by Minister of Finance Avdullah Hoti, is participating in the regular annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington. Except for the participation at the plenary session of the IMF and the World Bank, Kosovo delegation will also meet with senior officials of these two institutions, as well as with officials of the US Department of Treasure and representatives of the US Department of State.

In its first review of the agreement, the IMF said Kosovo’s economy is recovering as reforms pay off - but warned that political stalemate may have a negative impact.

The International Monetary Fund, IMF, on Monday said Kosovo’s economy is showing signs of improvement in its first review of the Stand-by Arrangement with the Balkan country.

The IMF noted that economic recovery was notable after agreed structural reforms with the government have started to deliver results.

Blocking of the Assembly and opposition actions are being disapproved by the chief of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Kosovo, Jacque Miniane.
