Summary

The SBA has served as insurance against adverse shocks while guiding reforms to strengthen fiscal and financial governance and foster growth. The RSF has supported climate reforms to increase generation of renewable energy, boost energy efficiency, enhance regional cooperation, and strengthen crisis preparedness and transition risk monitoring. With strong domestic consumption, growth has accelerated in 2024, while inflation has declined. The fiscal outturn has been positive. However, strong demand for imports and lower remittances have contributed to a deterioration of the external balance. Key risks include higher commodity prices, weaker activity in Europe, and tensions in northern Kosovo. Parliamentary elections will take place in February 2025.
