Beschreibung:
With its economy disrupted by the global economic crisis, the Serbian government faces tight budget constraints for several years to come. The Government has already responded by freezing wages and pension benefits and making cuts in capital works and other discretionary spending. These measures, while effective in the short term, are not necessarily sustainable over time. This report looks at more fundamental reforms in key public services, in order to identify opportunities for constraining expenditures through improvements in productivity in pensions, health, education, social assistance, transport, and enterprise subsidies
