CEVES enhances the quality of economic governance in Serbia through the analysis and monitoring of macroeconomic policy, fiscal sustainability, and monetary stability, as well as reforms in the public sector and public enterprises. The focus is on strengthening institutions, professionalizing public administration, aligning with the EU Acquis, and raising regulatory culture that ensures predictability, reduces corruption, and removes administrative barriers, thereby creating a true „level playing field“ for domestic and foreign investors. Through this program, CEVES advocates for a business environment that fosters investment, growth, and long-term economic sustainability.
