The improvement of public finances, the fight against the gray economy and better conditions for entrepreneurs and innovations should be at the top of the list of priorities of competent institutions in 2024, in order to facilitate business in Serbia – according to a survey of NALED members from private, public and civil sector. Representatives of all three sectors see labor availability and price growth as the biggest challenges for the economy in the coming period.
Cooperation with civil society on the drafting of laws, along with the improvement of understanding of the role of non-governmental organizations and the more efficient use of the expertise of this sector, are important for the creation of effective measures and public policies.
However, although dialogue with the state exists, most organizations do not feel sufficiently involved, even though they would all like to work on reforms, according to a new survey of the views of the economy, civil society and the public sector on public-private dialogue in Serbia.
In order to deserve the epithet “business-friendly”, local governments that provide services according to the highest international standards, 50 cities and municipalities from the region will enter the Certification Program of Cities and Municipalities with a Favorable Business Environment in Southeast Europe (BFC SEE) in the spring.
Acquiring this certificate will enable them to systematically improve the conditions for attracting investments and encourage the development of the domestic economy.
